The Fresh Frosh At eight o ' clock on the morning of September 16th, ninety-four extra student bodies tumbled off the El Dorado Special and entered dreamy-eyed through the blue and gold gates into the big, sophisticated world of Millikan High. The frosh had arrived. Their arrival was the result of a new pilot pro- gram designed and developed by Newcomb par- ents called Cadre 9, which enabled graduates of the Newcomb A-One program to go directly to Millikan instead of spending their ninth grade year at Marshall. Formerly, Newcomb students who opted not to attend Marshall for seventh, eighth, and ninth grades had to make two transitions — from Newcomb to Marshall and from Marshall to Millikan. At first, some people were skeptical about the idea of a freshman class, but once the idea became a reality, the hostility melted. The staff and administration did their best to make the freshmen ' s welcome warm. Sophomores were particularly happy about the new arrivals, since their presence meant that soph jokes ' popularity would fade in favor of frosh jokes. The upperclassmen-and-women didn ' t seem to mind them, either. Freshmen? I hardly ever see any, there are so few of them, com- mented junior Dave Snyder. Except of course when I happen to trip over one. As for the frosh themselves, they were quick to adjust to Ram life. When it came to school activi- ties, they often showed more enthusiasm and good old-fashioned Ram Hi spirit than older Rams. I like it, I guess, offered Laura Brown. It ' s tougher than what I ' m used to, but then, that ' s what makes it high school.
