What will we remember about the people we knew at school? ery person was unique. Each group of people had their own ecial characteristics, likes, and dislikes. Each class had their own Iirks experiences, and obstacles to overcome. Most freshmen were overwhelmed by the size of South's halls, by the size of some of the upperclassmen roaming them. A few tall enough to blend in, but others were at times mistaken for rs from Leslie. Along with these adjustments to South new experiences in classes like Health, PE, and IPS. Sophomores and juniors had to readjust to not being at the ,,, D . . , bl .
