Memorial High School - Patriot Yearbook (San Antonio, TX)

Page 126 text:

Clearly the most memorable and traumatic year in high school is the freshman year. Now the all-wise eighth grader finds that there is an immeasurable amount of wisdom left to be acquired and that Memorial is one place to start acquiring a vast sum of it. Freshmen are lost, at first, in a new world of faces and strange rooms. They are cautious and off balance by the transplant from Junior High. At this time adapting and discovering are key words in the life of the student. In observing the situation it becomes apparent that each individual must conform his lifestyle, being careful not to sacrifice personality, in order to master the art of relating with other people. He or she must develop prin- ciples of character and respect for the school, and that while establishing pride, be careful not to confuse pride with haughtiness. At first he roams the school with sensitive antennae feeling for the right rhythms and searching for his lost sense of belonging. Soon he feels the pulse beat of the school and discovers that his presence is as needed as any other and, that his performance is important because it is he who represents the face of the future. 1 22 Miss Keller goes over a part with Juan, Evangehne and Louis Freshmen
