fx fx F i' Terrifying Thoughts of a Freshman EVER in my life did I experience such an absolute feeling of insignificance and I Q smallness as I did my first day as a Freshman. Always before I had considered myself more or less important and necessary to the progress of a classroom. But the great fault of vainness is ever to be punished and repaid. When I entered the Assembly I suddenly felt as small as Alice In Wonderland when she ate the magic cake and shrank in size accordingly. I felt as though the upper classmen were seated astride great pedestals and that I, poor green Freshman, was sitting on a small stool at their feet. They all seemed to forget that they, too, had once been Freshmen and looked at me with cold, haughty, or disdainful expressions in their eyes. The shivers that 'chased up and down my back and the hot Hush that o'erspread my face were terrible things, never to be forgotten. They still seem to stand before me and mock me at every turn until I feel as though it would do me good to stand before the Assembly and shout taunting things at the upper classmen, especially the Sophomores and Juniors, who really act much worse than the Seniors. I don't know why they are, but it must be that the Seniors have taunted and teased so many Freshmen that they have tired of this pastime and now look to other things for amusement. My hot hands could not hold a pencil straight and my icy feet seemed not to have the ability to carry me about. How I got through that first day will always remain a mystery to me. It seemed like a terrible nightmare from beginning to end. Marione Du Lany's First Day HE great iron gates of Wellington loomed large and terrible before the poor, frightened freshman. Marione was determined that after getting this far nothing in the shape of fear was going to stop her from entering those gates. She was sure the president was tall and gaunt, with sharp features. If she was any- thing like the village school ma'am, Marione knew she'd die of fright. Having somewhat overcome her fears, she walked up to the door and, with a quak- ing heart and shaking knees, rang the bell. The peal that she heard, sounded like a death knell to the frightened girl. With perspiring hands and ears she waited. After hours of suspense tso it seemedl a step was heard in the hall. Marione's heart thump- ed so loudly she felt confident that the terrible personage behind the door could hear it. The knob turned! Surely her doom was close at hand. The heavy door opened and revealed a motherly looking woman with snowy white hair. Her merry, blue eyes called a welcome to the frightened freshman. The girl's hand crept from its hiding place into the shapely white one which was extended to her. After an interview in the president's office, the aspect of school life changed greatly for Marione. In after years her heart went out to freshmen who came through the iron gates for the first time. Wilma Cyra. 4641
