• cX®- The ROCKET 1928 Freshman Soliloquy WELL, here I am. Though why I ' m he-re is not exactly plain. And I don ' t know whether I ' m going to like it or not. Nobody seems to be paying any attention to me. Perhaps I ' d better shuffle my feet, clear my throat and rattle a few papers so that someone will notice me. Ugh!

I ' m not sure that it isn ' t better, after all. not to be noticed — especially by the Person of the Stony Stare. This isn ' t a very cozy place! I don ' t believe I care much about staying. And this seat doesn ' t suit me a bit. It ' s too low! No, it ' s too high! At any rate, it isn ' t just right. Now that I ' m here, however, I guess I ' ll look around a bit.

I might have known ! They keep blowing and bragging all the time, don ' t they? Why don ' t they just shine, like the Seniors? Or even harmlessly, make a noise, like the Juniors?
