Year of High Adventure. How did I feel that first morning? While J was at home getting dressed for my first day at Arts High, 1 thought I was a big wheel. Mom and Dad were looking at me with admiration and love. I thought I could conquer the world. When I arrived at school my heart beat faster and I felt lost in the midst of the hustle and bustle of school activities, a stranger in a new world! For a fleeting second I wished that I were back in grammar school tvith my old friends and teachers 1 had grown to respect and depend on. In ffassing a senior, while changing classes, I felt like a frisky pup that is shoved into a corner. The seniors were so grown up and dressed differently. They seemed burdened with the weight of the world. I don’t think I’ll ever get that serious. One upperclassman was quite nice and offered to sell me swimming pool tickets. After my happy bargaining with the sjniling fellow, a freshman approached me and said I was taken in, but good! He exclaimed, The closest you’ll ever get to water will be at the fountain.” How I found my homeroom is still a mystery to me, but it surely felt good to look around and see other faces that were willing to smile and be friendly. I wondered about that box with the voice coming out, and found it to be the public address system. It really made me feel grown up. When my future chums calmed down I heard, “The following report to the main office with books and pencils, Ludwig Da Vinci, Leonardo Beethoven, and Artie Adventurer.” Little had 1 realized that the little slip of paper I got for being late meant an hour after school. That was the first and last time for me! One of the Juniors showed me his A-Pin and Honor Society Pin. I thought he would be a stuffed shirt. But on the contrary, he gave me his two words of success, Be Yourself,” and he told me his sad experiences as a freshman. After listening to much advice, I decided to start paving the way to sophomore ship. I teas able to choose any subjects and join a variety of clubs. This was done carefully so that work and pleasure combined. The opening exercises for assembly were a pleasant surprise to me. Sot only was the conduct of the students good, but their attitude was truly patriotic and respectful. This was one more reason to be proud that Arts High was now my school. 8
