When he talks, they listen Showcase Freshmen are generally very curious and interested in what goes on around them. They ' re astute and very alert, explained Mr. Jerold Siperstein, Algebra I teacher. Mr. Siperstein has taught freshmen for about ten years out of the 24 he ' s been teaching. This year he had two classes of Algebra I in which there were about 65 freshmen. He felt freshmen lacked a certain amount of commitment towards their academic classes, but still they were very normal. In the Algebra 1 classes, he taught how to solve problems with algebraic expressions. He also taught them the basic algebra fundamentals. I enjoy teaching freshmen because it gives me a break from the rigors of chemistry, said Mr. Siperstein. Though they were not as mature as juniors and seniors, Mr. Siperstein felt that they listened to him when he talked.

Freshmen get involved in school Freshmen were active in school. They were found involved in sports, music, drama, clubs, speech and debate, business education, and leadership. Take, for example, drama. There were three freshmen in- volved in acting, writing plays, making up commercials, doing mirror images, and improvising. All three agreed that they were treated as just a part of the gang, and were glad that they got involved in their first year of high school. Speech and debate was challenging for freshman Diane Bryant. Even though she had to work twice as hard to unders- tand the level of thinking for speech and debate, she enjoyed it and thought it was fun. She felt that more freshmen should be involved in speech and debate because speech and debate gives one no time to be shy, which helps in other classes. There were two freshmen on the girl ' s varsity basketball team this year. Besides Laura Beeman, there was Diane Roberts, who was very excited to make the team. After four years of playing basketball, Diane Roberts came to San Gorgonio and tried out for the basketball team. To her surprise she made the varsity team. She had fears of being treated dif- ferently because she was a freshman, but after meeting all the other team members everything fell into place. Diane is hoping to be a four-year-member of the girl ' s varsity team. Freshmen were involved in many activities throughout the year even though it was difficult for them to find time to do their studies. a OH ) 1 0$ II fjj Below: Involved Spartans are freshr Kendra Boyd.
