Freshmen Show a Methuen High upperclassman a nervous kid with a Mead Trapper Keeper, an Erasermate, and a map of the school, and he ' ll show you the typical freshman. Everyone is able to pick a freshman out of a crowd, even the freshmen themselves. They are not well-known for being nondescript. Methuen High freshmen are the ones who eat anything in the cafeteria because they don ' t know any better. Their lower lips quiver when they are told to report to office detention. At least one incoming freshman asks what floor the swimming pool is on. Freshmen must look up their combinations every time they go to their lockers, and most of them carry twelve books to every class. When Friday arrives, freshmen sigh with relief and the thought that the Methuen Mall is a great place to be . For one year, the seniors are in their glory. The deem themselves far superior to the underclassmen, especially the freshmen. They look upon their freshman year with disbelief, saying they couldn ' t have behaved in such a manner. For most of the seniors however, the tide will turn once again. They will be low men on the totem pole when they enter college. They ' ll eventually move up the ladder again, but before they do, they ' ll be the ones calling attention to themselves with maps, notebooks, and misplaced dorm keys. I hope they enjoy their senior year of high school while they can. S.D.
