Freshmen Fight Attention all freshmen: You have entered into a dimension of time and space where your names can range anywhere from frosh to paper- wad target. A place where you step beyond your front door into an unknown place with people who con- sider you no more than another short human being. You have just entered the O'Gorman school melange. Here, we will try to relate to the reader a true story that rewrites itself every fall at O'Gorman. The story of a freshman's first harrying day at school. To protect the innocent, the name Charlie will be used instead Nancy Armfield Thomas Auld Todd Baird Heather Baker Jennifer Becker Joseph Becker Lisa Behrends Patrick Berry . Jane Billion Sarah Boddicker K Laura Bonacker Chad Bornhott Brian Brenner Chad Breidenbach Robert Brown James Bruns Patrick Burns Kathy Burt Carl Butzer Anthony Cady F9313 of the subject's real name. Charlie gets up at 5:00 a.m. on Monday morning because his older brothers have told him horror stories about what a Mr. X will do to him if he comes in late. Charlie takes a shower, washes his hair, brushes his teeth, combs his hair, eats his hearty breakfast of oatmeal and combs his hair again because his brothers have told him about all the cute girls at O'G. He gets his coat on. He has laid out his three number two pencils and a brand new notebook the night before. He bids his dog farewell and FRESHMEN walks off with his mother to the car. Charlie finally arrives at the huge structure that he will be abandoned to. At once the school engulfs him in- to its microcosm. He has become an O'Gorman student. He doesn't much feel like one but that doesn't alter that fact. This could be any freshman. It could even be you. All of us went through that first day here. So next time you see a freshman try to resist the urge to shout frosh and look back on your freshmen year with care. -6

Freshmen Strength: Not Just a Story Once upon a time, there existed a village named Oggville. This village had traditions for everything. Tradi- tions for what should be worked on and how, and even traditions on entertainment. One day, a young boy walked into the village. He knew nothing of the traditions and so, did what he wanted to do. This of course, angered everyone there and they started to call him things like greeney and frog. This went on for quite a while until finally, after several years of standing his ground for what he believed, the boy had Tom Dorn David Dougherty Nick Earley Alvin Eastman Steve Eckerman Mark Ellenbecker Kristin Ellerbroek Jennifer Ellis Jody Ellis Craig Fahrendorf Todd Farah Derek Ferrie Teresa Fester Mary Fischer James Flannery ' v Theresa Flicket Meghan Flynn Amy Folson Todd Foy Jeanne Friedman become a man. With this he had also become an elder of the village because all the older residents had moved to other villages. He started gathering friends and many of the things that the villagers thought of as stupid before came to be accepted. Like all good stories this one has a message behind it. Many times we tend to shun and shove the freshmen around just because of their status as new students. But the freshmen have ideas and dreams of their own. Don't condemn their ideas before you know them. ri-4 4
