No it ' s not nap time! It ' s freshmen girls learn- ing to do their breathing exercises for a better sound in the Glee Club. Their first year here! Remember your first day of high school? You finally made it to where you got to do all of those things oth- er than studying from books. The world would be bigger and more ex- citing and you would get to do more stuff But it was so big and you didn ' t know your way around very well. The upper classes weren ' t very friendly and many of the teachers were impatient with your dumb mis- takes. Life was a bit more than you knew how to handle. Then after a while things actually did get better. All of the clubs and sports got underway and you felt like you really were a part of the school where you would be spending the rest of your high school career. Eventually you even knew just when to cheer at the pep sessions and you began to feel that the spirit stick should be yours. For the first time the Bruins seemed a part of you, instead of the representatives of the community. Just about then, when you knew your way around and had managed to get a seat beside your friends in all of your classes. Just when the cute one in third period started to pay attention to you. Just then, it was over. It went so fast that all of the new things were old hat before you even got so you could remember your locker combination. Now you are the establishment and all of the little people are starting where you started not very long ago.
