We are the frosh. Some of us have stars in the eyes. Some of us have steel in the will. We are the frosh. We are the swimmer and the sinker, the tortoise and the hare, the honored and the also-ran. We are the frosh. We came here by choice, or we were too scared to wait, we chose hastily or we chose objectively, or we heard from friends, or we were impressed by the interviews. Or none of these. We are the frosh. We Worry about our grades, about our dates, our chances in marriage, our draft boards, our families, about the books and the tuition, about the harrying pressure, about what is happening to ourselves. We are the frosh. Some of us look forward to high powered cars, some to high society lives, some just to high grade practice-if we graduate. We all won't graduate. We are the frosh. We are young, smart and soft. We wear glasses, our shoulders droop, our skins are not tough. We eat less, and smoke more and get drunk on occasional weekends. We are the frosh. We come from many schools and several states. We are short and tall, fat and slim, man and woman. We trudge doggedly in the footsteps of the unknown and the known hundreds who came before us, and more will follow us. We peer through microscopes, we squint at thick books during late hours, we move long forceps from structure to structure. We fight overtly our own private wars, strong and personal, we push our pens and bite our lips. We curse and smoke and drum our fingers upon the examination tables. We are the frosh.
