Freshmen; A Bottomless Pit What ' s it like being a Freshmen? Who knows? The only way to really find out is by asking the Freshmen themselves. Freshman Jeft Boucher commented, ' 1 really enjoyed being a Freshman, you ' re in a sense a rookie, and you deserve to have insults thrown at you. But when the upperclassmen start throwing you in cans and pushing you around the fun has kind of gotten out of hand. He has summed up much of the treatment of Fresh- men. It ' s a long uphill climb, that is tiring and almost endless. But it ' s also an avid tradition that may never end. The class of 86 is one to watch out for, be it in academ- ics or athletics. Some of El Dorado ' s outstanding Fresh- men ore, Jim Sammons, Pat Houston, Jim Buck, and also Jill Mutich. The Freshman class was one that well not be forgot- ten. Their emotions dealt with their pride, be it loud screams or looks of disgust, they always were in the thick of things. They were better than the classes in the past, stated Activities Director Mr. Rodriguez, they participated much more and were very cooperative.

IPs ' It ' s fun. I have lots of friends at El Dorado and there is just so much more to do here, commented enthusiastic Fresh- man Barry Dahmen. Barry ' s big dream is to someday play varsity basketball for El Dorado. But as for now he is content watching and cheering for his older brother Brian, who is a starter and key player for the varsity. It ' s like being a rookie ballplayer. You learn a lot by the environment, and its exciting to see your growth day by day, stated Barry. Barry ' s unique: he LIKES being a Fresh- man, Unlike others who can ' t wait to get the respect of an upperclassman, Barry feels that maybe 1 am a little differ- ent, but I enjoy being a Freshman and I am in no big hurry to be a upperclassmen. Barry himself was a starter for the Freshmen Basketball team and played a key role in the team ' s success this year. Besides sports, Barry is a good student maintaining a 3.0 grade point average and plans to someday be a profes- sional sportscaster. Barry Dahmen flashes a king size smile towards the camera.
