Freshmen From a Freshman ' s Point of View The Polaris staff randomly in- terviewed one of the 400 ninth graders in the freshman class. We chose Anthony Wilson of homeroom (9-2) Ms. Stone. Anthony stated that he en- joyed many of the activities that other freshmen did. For exam- ple, he played the trumpet in the school band, and he enjoyed sports. Anthony said that he was glad to be a freshman. He said that subs get put down, and now that does not happen any- more. Also, like many ninth graders, Anthony had some initial prob- lems with the understanding of the new requirements. They in- terfered with his class schedul- ing. He wished to take a comput- er course but he had to many new requirements to fit in.
