No wonder they were startled and full of wonder and fear, for this class was the largest in the high school. Now we don’t blame the rest of the classes for feeling a bit overwhelmed (from which they have never fully recovered) for these same Freshmen proved to them both last year and this that they were capable, both individually and collectively of doing great things.
