fldss of 7945 Dear Freshmen: In the past year you have been through the various stages of the humble freshman. Are you now of the opinion that you had a wonderful time, or are you of the opinion that you have been misjudged, mistreated, misapprehended, miscalled, and all the other mises you can think of? But don't forget that you have the future to look forward to. There will be new fresh- men every year and the pleasure of dealing with them will be all yours. Many students have wondered why the freshmen are denied many of the privileges of upper classmen, and why the freshmen should be virtually labeled green. Surely it is not their ap- pearance. If not that, it must be their actions and attitude. Lend an ear, past and future freshmen, while we discourse on this freshmen-hope-to-abolish green. For reference we shall use Webster, the good old stand-by who knows all, tells all, and sees nothing. Of the color green is his first definition. But as we have said before, freshmen don't have green complexions: therefore, We can dispose of this theory. Characterized by green growth: verdant. Well, we really don't see plants growing out of your ears, U-Xlthough we don't know what to expect from the girls.j Since we can't use this definition, perhaps verdant can be more adequately applied to the freshmen. Your know- ledge is lacking in many respects, your judgment has not reached its full extent of wisdom. i'Young: not trained: hence, ignorant. You are young, although you don't think so, and not trained-definitely, but the hence ignorant' 'is a little too strong to apply. We have to give you credit for not being ignorant because ,of the goals you have attained thus far. Full of life and vigor: fresh. Webster certainly hit the beam that time. You first year of high school has made you feel whee-I'm in-high-school-vigor. For further information concerning the fresh, ask any upper classman. Having a sickly color. Well, you do acquire a deathly palor when your thoughts are rudely interrupted by an upper classman. But we cannot blame him. He is only getting re- venge for the year that he was a freshman. The color of growing herbage: color between yellow and blue. This wouldn't Work. After all, you aren't heathens. 4 A grassy plot. That's worse. We'll have to throw it in the ashcan. You are human and alive-we hope! Green vegetables boiled for food. Awwk! How many times students have wished that you were! Now that we have exhausted Webster, let's ponder over what we have. From these definitions we can see why the word green has been used for freshmen. It was probably the only word with one syllable that could easily be pronounced, and its meaning applies so well to the freshmen. But past freshmen, as we have said before, the pleasure will be all yours next year. Woe betide the innocent eighth grader! DEANA FILLIPS .....24..-
