Wirh expansion plans, rhe new decade is a good rime for new changes. — Laura Sammeringer New ' Sinns ' Come To Leo I rhink rhar my first day at Leo was quite an expetience. When I firsr walked rhrough rhe doors, I was scared half ro dearh. Bur as rhe day wenr on, every- rhing seemed ro get berrer. The kids ar Leo seem super nice, and rhey even came up ro talk ro me. I rhink rhar if I would be going from Leo ro New Haven, rhings would have been a lor scarier, because rhere ' s abour 500 more kids rhere. Ir really surprised me ro see how many people Leo had, bur I guess rhar was jusr because I was scared. Bur when I wenr ro rhe assembly in rhe gym I sow rhar Leo was as small as everybody hod rold me. The sporrs here also seem good. I mean, I come from a school rhar would be happy ro win any game. Then see- ing in rhe paper rhor Leo ' s foorboll ream is ranked 10rh in rhe srare in rhe Class A rarings, rhar ' s really decenr! Also, rhe spirir ar rhis school is really unbelievable. Everybody wanrs his school ro nor jusr look good and ro win by 1 or 2 poinrs, bur ro win by 20 poinrs or more. And rhey seem disoppoinred if rhey don ' rl If New Haven would lose by a respecrable mark, rhe fans wenr home happy. So I would say rhor my firsr day here ended up being good because rhe kids really seemed nice and seemed ro ac- cepr my sisrer and me. I rhink I will like coming ro Leo a lor, if ir goes as well as rhe firsr day did. Too bad all rhe days don ' r end ar 1100, rhough. — sophomore Rod Sinn (commenring on his firsr impressions os o Transfer srudenr)
