Bushwick High School - Senior Yearbook (Brooklyn, NY)

FRESHMEN We find them wandering about the halls, searching for rooms cmd running up the wrong stairs, students wearing that unmistakably lost and pathetic look on their faces. But don't laugh at or mock them, we were all there at one time, stumbling as they are. These Freshies are rebuked by sophomores, juniors and seniors alike, until, with the guidance of older friends, they learn the ways of Bushwick-its code of laws and punish- ments. They soon learn that our school, or any school, is some- thing mo're than a building. lt breathes, it lives and within its walls are generated the friendships, the ideals and the memories that last for a lifetime. Throughout their school life they will grumble and com- plain about homework, exams and teachers. There is no escaping this ageless problem. They will soon admit, though, the true facts: pain does not come without pleasure, or school- work without fun. A year passes and the Freshies move on, a bit wiser, and a bit older. But they will always remember, with a warm feeling, those first uncertain days.

'A A fascinating study of world history :ncl current events supervised by Miss SOPHOMORES We come now to the domain of the sophomore-those aging students who feel more or less at home at Bushwick. With a greater run of the school, they participate in the clubs or, possibly, become members of the baseball or soccer teams. The sophomore has doubtlessly concluded long before now that there is nothing like a co-ed school. Getting ac- quainted is no longer a problem. How could it be with Mr. Dream Man down the hall, or Miss Dream Girl sitting next to one? Nevertheless, the sophomore is rather surprised to find time for dances and parties. For the sophomore, there is the customary cramming for exams, but something new has been added-the Regents. A student once said that Regents were created for the pur- pose of wrecking one's graduation plans. But they are here to stay, and, with a few of them under the belt, one sees that they are really not so hard l?j after all. Before it seems possible the half-way mark has arrived, and pranks and iokes are left behind for the responsibilities of the junior. flines.
