Cooper Freshmen Encounter Irish Traditions The first step one makes is the one on which depends the rest of one ' s days. Voltaire The freshman student ' s first hesitating steps along the halls of Central Catholic High School are an indication of his future development here. There are changes to be made, new customs and terms to be learned. The protective shell of a familiar grade-school routine gives way to the fas- cinating, but alien, world of Central Catholic. The new student cannot sit back and wait for the es- tablished routine to adjust itself to his desires. Of course, teachers and officials are willing to help in any way they can; but the primary responsibility for a successful be- ginning in high school rests with the student himself. Par- ticipation in the classroom, compliance with regulations, belief in the school ' s traditions — all of these will govern the freshman ' s next three years here. Too often, the freshman class feels pushed aside amidst the maze of upperclassmen activity. The attitude becomes one of only half belonging to a student body that doesn ' t seem to care. This is not true. Everything that is only ob- served today can be participated in during three years o f tomorrows. Central Catholic High School not only wants its freshmen; it needs them. The Class of 1970 is not just looking towards this school ' s future — it is its future. p. Crabil C. Craighead C. Craighead 27

t V ' i— ' yiwi. ■-»-. j: ' . September 6, Initiates 299 Freshmen M. Gfell M. Giant D. Gill J. Girardot iii i Before beginning, a diligent prepara- tion should be mode. Cicero Each year, the incoming freshmen assemble exclusively to acquaint themselves with Central Catholic ' s halls, rules, teachers, and traditions. This past fall, the frosh met in the gymnasium on September 6. The students were as- signed to their homerooms and were given a shortened schedule to learn the location of their various classes. The crucial point of being a freshman becomes a reality when that fateful bell rings, announcing the first exchange of classes. This initial, hesitant push through crowded, un- familiar corridors becomes, in a few short weeks, a well- known path for Central Catholic ' s new class. This experience brings new fears and new smiles as the freshmen find themselves in the middle of associated chaos. However, the Class of 1970 soon became accustomed to the new mode of learning, as has every other class. K. Glasch R. Gnau C. Gomez M. Gomez D. Gonzalez R. Gorman 29
