Many freshmen made gossipping a full-time hobby. s 42- ,gy- f' Tgpified Freshmen ' I ah! There's a Freshman! Trash him! Although many students of Diamond Bar High School believed this scene to be very common, it was not, in reality. There were many myths and stereotypes surrounding the freshman class. Every year, the cycle repeats itself with a new freshman class. These myths and stereotypes were not very fair because they were usually not true. When the word freshman was heard, people had an image appear in 254 Freshmen,f'Stereotypes their minds. The image was of a student four feet ten inches tall with freckles scat- tered in a mosaic pattern around the face, unbrushed hair, denim jeans with bell bottoms, and a pair of sneakers. This would be the model description for a freshman. These sort of stereotypes were inaccurate but they remained a part of high school life. Other stereotypes included the ac- tivities that freshmen did after school. Freshmen? They probably go home and watch cartoons or something like that, LQXSCQ, J , concluded Mike Lin, sophomore. Some freshmen did go home and watch TV, but many others were involved in energy packed activities, such as bowling. As long as there are high schools, stereotypes about freshmen will always exist. All incoming freshmen will have to bear the feeling of being the lowest social class in high school for one year. Once their freshmen year is over, they will be able to look back on the new freshmen class and share with them, the put downs they had to bear with. A X ,wg t9lfJlJlLC1l77S.
