You’re Just Too Fresh! w Little Joe Turner awkward- ly makes his way through a crowded A-Wing. Vicious re- marks are thrown from every direction: Nerd! Pipsqueak! Fish! Everybody experienced it during his freshman year — that agonizing ridicule from upperclassmen. Among ali the tacky names and sarcastic comments, un- derclassmen kept a sharp sense of honor — and humor. It seemed that the word F- R-E-S-H-M-E-N just brought about negative comments, laughs,and smirks. Was this sort of treatment of ninth graders cruel and un- just or was it just tradition and expected with the territory? The nicknames varied and some became synonymous to the Class of ’91. Tabetha Tawer, Jennifer Williams, Mi- chelle Smith, Tawana Carr, and Jackie Hali contributed their discovered “fish tities”: Kids, Baby Brat Mustangs, Fresh Freshmen, Crabs, and Lil’ Ole Freshmen! To add to our cruel vocabulary, Donna Turner contributed, “Fresh- meat!” Freshman Bert Duncan ex- plained a dream experience, “When the upperclassmen walk by they say, ‘Look at that dude; I wish I was as cool as that freshman!’” GOOD MORNING KEVIN. Getting ready for another exciting day at school, freshman Kevin Bell displays a friendly smile.

Exploring Coates Bluff, Rhonda Bal- dwin, Tiffany Chambless, Laura Rickefeller, and Yeng Ho find an inter- esting way to spend a Saturday with History Club. Weekends For the class of ’91 the weekends were busy and wer- en’t for staying at home. Weekend nights were times for letting loose and showing the upperclassmen that being social runs in the “Magnet Family.” Where could those little freshmen spend their time? Bryan Seidel commented, “Going out on the weekends is a blast. The place to go is the mali.” Some spent their hours at local tennis courts. Celia Skin- ner enjoyed going to Cross Lake Pier. Other freshmen like Dennie Arnold enjoyed going to bowling alleys. It was even rumored that many went to Wallace Lake Dam. As freshman Nina Coley put it, “The popular place for freshmen is the movies or someone’s house.” Liz Greggs enjoyed spending nights and going to Joy Cinema 6. “The freshman class is known as the livest freshman class,” said Nina Coley. The Seniors of ’91 were not people who spent their time with nothing to do. As freshman Stacy Smith pointed out, “The worst thing about being a freshman is not having a set of wheels.” That disadvantage did not keep the freshmen from going out. Improvising was the key!!!!!
