v Coming to Capo as a freshman is probably one of the most terrifying experiences known to man. It ' s right below being in Hiroshima when the bomb dropped and just above being sent to Mr. Jeisy ' s office for point- ing at a teacher with the wrong finger. Wandering through the halls with a blue-and-white locator — God will get the person who named it that — is like being a white rat in some sadistic lab experi- ment. The only difference is that when the rat makes it through the maze, he gets a piece of cheese — you get homework. It ' s bad enough trying to remember where your classes are, but you also have to remember what your locker combination is. Was that 34 left or 37 right? Do I have to turn completely past the number, or do I just stop when I get to it? Then, if you ' re lucky enough to finally get the darn thing open, chances are you ' ll find your locker partner ' s peanut butter and jelly sandwich stuffed inside your math book. Oh, but there ' s more. Unless you want to eat your PB ] flavored Algebra text, you have to fight through the lunch crowds. But you were told not to worry. Some sophomore said that if you get to the lines by 11:50, you can usually get your lunch by 12:05 — the following day. But as overwhelming as Capo can be for a new stu- dent, its size is also its strength. The class of ' 92 found itself faced with opportunity to participate in every- thing from football to French Club, from surfing to ceramics, and from running track to running for stu- dent office. For freshmen, the terror usually subsides by the end of the first semester, and the remaining 3 2 years are much better. In fact, it ' s almost as much fun as a con- cussion! w
