Freshmen This year marked a new beginning at Albany High School. Freshmen were admitted as part of the student body. The addition of a ninth grade has brought many advantages, along with disadvantages. The problems, that arose at the beginning of the year, have for the most part settled down . . . In spite of this, they have managed to adapt to the high school environment with great ease. Student Government is one area in which freshmen have strongly showed their interest. We wish them luck in their future years at Albany High. Stick with it . . . only three more years to go!
