Hey guys! This is better than my bike. Senior jody Lensing gives freshman Brad Williams a lift. THE FIRST DAY THEY ARE ALL Catholic High. When you heard this the summer before your freshman year, did it bring feelings of apprehension to your mind? Did it inspire fear in your heart and bring knots to your stomach? Did it mean 3 page essays the first day of school and staying up till 1:00 in the morning doing unsolvable problems in Algebra? Sure it did. We upperclassmen just don't remem- ber it as well as the Freshmen do. jimmy Donato, a freshman, says he can remember perfectly well the way it feels to try to move down a crowded hallway in which everyone seems to be going the other way.jimmy also added that he didn't go up and speak to any upperclassmen because he thought they wouldn't want to be seen with a freshman. Another first day anxiety is the assem- bly. This is the hour in which freshman think that they will be personally ridiculed in front of their peers by the seniors C or so they have been toldj. Actually, only six or seven freshmen were called down this year. Brian Kent, one of the few chosen, said that it really wasn't too bad. Overall, the freshmen whom I interviewed all had one opinion in common: the first day wasn't as horrible as it was expected to be. That's a blatantly back-handed compliment to CHS, but it's safe to generalize that for the huge majority of freshmen their ensuing days and years here will provide them with enough satisfying and pleasurable times that truly fond memories will be the result.
