eattxi The he X X X -'--I-su-mpg P Tick, tick . . . bbrring! Could that be the alarm clock? Already? You pry yourself out of bed to get ready for the first day of school. First day jitters grab you as you walk into the building. You force yourself into the crowd of people and search for your name down the IBM list before discovering that you're looking at the freshman print- out. fYou were a freshman last yeartj As you proceed to your assigned advisory room, comments like, How was your summer? echo in the hall.

Comparing schedules, you find whom you have classes with and are disappointed by whom you don't have classes with. As you drift into a semi-conscious state. you faintly hear the teacher give you a brief Q45 minutej lecture on how you are no longer in grade school and should act like it.

In time, you begin to search for a place to fit in. You study the signs in the halls which invite you to join us and scrounge the money to pay dues. You start to feel as if you're finally in the swing of things as you get busy with pep assemblies, bake sales and float decorations. You think, as you head home, that maybe it's not going to be so bad. Somehow, you know you will sur- vive. fBy Sabicne Oldham.
