Wild because they were freed from the bondages of junior high and vulnerable to new experiences. Crazy, because as Pete Hotovec described it, I couldn't find the algebra room. All settled into place second semester and the frosh began to feel that they were part of the UHS community, Friday night movies and a trip to Happy Joes were common weekend activities. Grease was the number one favorite movie choice by the freshmen. Mopeds eased transportation problems. Many frosh spent their summer earnings on the new bikes. They could be seen everywhere, the school's bike racks over flowed with the S300 motor bikes. Gas mileage was pretty good, averaging 100 miles to a gallon of gas. All in all, freshmen year was a year of many new experiences, some good and some embarrassing: but most nineth graders seemed to survive their first year of high school.

Quickly they discovered that the first year of high school brought new experiences, involvement in traditional activities, and more adult responsibilities. Helping the frosh make the transition from junior high to high school were freshman counselor Dick Cory and a new program, Advisement, which paired every freshman with a faculty adviser during his first year here. Class officers were president Susan Hansen, vice-president Lori Page, secretary Regina Sweeney, and treasurer Scott Schneider. Senators elected from the class included Brenda Black, Laura Toma, and Teri Johnson. Freshmen senators were responsible for the food - munchies and a hearty breakfast, during the Senate Lock-In. They also set up the elections for the upcoming freshmen 1979-80. As the youngest class in school, the frosh got some of the traditional ribbing, being dubbed fudgies, but many remarked that despite nightmarish anticipation about discrimination from the upperclassmen, lt wasn't as scary as we thought it would be. 1 Lunch time and freshman Rudy Myers gets ready to dig in.
