"Oh? Exam na pala?"

This is the prevailing response of JCAians when asked about the First Periodical Exams on August 10 - 12.

With a few days left before the quarterlies and projects stuffing their tight schedule, JCAians are still having problems managing their time.

"Di pa ako nagrereview kase hirap mag-manage ng time," junior Hena Ibatuan told In and Out.

The upcoming entrance exams spell double trouble for fourth year students, especially those who are in the thick of preparations for the University of the Philippines College Admissions Test on August 7 and 8.

"I'm striving to make my dream come true," said Alexandra Jessica Esponga of IV-Victorious. "That's why I have high hopes."

"The First Clash" is turning out to be a hot commodity.

Tickets to the basketball game pitting four JCA-based teams on Wednesday at the JCSGO Seed Dome have been selling like hotcakes since being released early morning today.

The activity, sponsored by the Supreme Student Government and supported by the Sports Club, the High School Department and the Grade School Department, will likewise serve as a pep rally for JCA's varsity teams, which will compete in the upcoming Season 4 of the Quezon City Athletic Association.

The JCA Roaring Cubs grade school varsity, mentored by coach Janmarck Fuerte, will meet a High School Freshman-Sophomore selection at 3:15 p.m. while the JCA Roaring Cubs high school varsity, under coach Darwin dela Torre, will lock horns with the retooled FaculTech Black Hawks at 4:15 p.m.

School Steward Ms. Cynthia Genon has cancelled all last subjects of the High School Department to let all JCAians witness the clash of these school-based hoop squads.

Meanwhile, the SSG, with the leadership of President Danielle Nakpil, is preparing side activities to add flavor to "The First Clash."

Tickets are available at Php 20.00 and could be bought from the SSG (high school) and the SPG (grade school).
