A Drastic Change No longer the top of the totem pole, freshmen took a major slide down the hierarchy as they left middle school and entered North High School lt was a drastic change from being on the top and envied by all the sixth and seventh graders, to be- ing put down and degraded by the up- perclassmen of high school. lt was a difficult time for all freshmen, but it became an in- valuable learning experience. Many freshmen resented the taunting of up- perclassmen as they called them babies and immature but they later realized it was all in fun. Time schedules, friendships, and major learning experiences all took a change for the best. No longer attending classes from 9:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., or having merely a few friends, freshmen now came to school from 7:25 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. and had a range of friends anywhere from 1 to Darcy Chappell Aaron Clark David Clark James Clause Wesley Coe Wilfredo Collazo Peggy Collis Jennifer Conley Brian Conner Laurie Conrad Louise Conrad Timothy Cook Randall Cooley Helen Cooney Jennifer Core Buster Cosby Mark Courtney Dale Crawford Joyce Crawford Tina Creps Keith Cronin Tammy Crosby Brett Culleton Tammy Cunard 210 1500. Planning for their futures was on their minds as they looked down the road four years to graduation. Assisted by their counselor, freshmen planned their classes to meet county and state requirements. Freshmen's social lives expanded and improved as they became involved in clubs, organizations and sports. These naive young Red Knights quickly gained maturity as they underwent the enjoyable times as well as the harsh times during their first year. Freshmen wobbled, but they didn't fall down. They merely kept up their heads and realized they would not be freshmen forever. This one year of name-calling, jokes and put-downs is now in the past, and North's second year veterans are ready to turn the tables and pull rank on next year's freshman class.
