Debbie Tmudt They come oft the bus with their sweaty palms and heads hanging low. Although Pm a fresh- man, after seeing all those friendly faces in the halls, I can't help but be optimistic about Overland. Jenna Straface But as time goes on, they gain confidence, optimism, and . . . Scared, confused, unprepared-these were words that described the typical freshman in -September. A new school can certainly ap- pear huge to a freshman. But with their eager- ness andoptimism, the freshman class gradu- ally began to adjust. Fr. Bonnie Coyer said, '4At first, 1 was so scared because I figured it would be hard academically, and now I know that it's a lot easier than I thought. The class of '91 had SCL out to destroy the old stereotype! Some freshmen also had an extremely optimistic attitude regarding the older stu- dents. Fr. John Zook said, 'L The upperclass- men view some of the freshmen as little wimps, but, of course, not mc? Fr. Jamie Steinberg had a slightly different view. She said, 'fThe upperclassmen act as if there is no age difference. They love us! The older grades did have a certain amount of respect for the freshmen. As some of the older students recalled their freshman year, they realized that their freshman class had some downfalls as well as problems adjust- ing. Last year, some of our freshman class was too busy at the senior parties, said Soph. Jason Linscott. The class of '91 did have some strong points. Jason added, This year's freshman class is really involved, but, ofcourse, they're still freshmen. The freshmen's confidence really showed. John said, I think we're all fitting in, and I'd rather be here than at any other school. True, the freshmen were the youngest students in the school, but that fact didn't seem to hold the class of '91 back at all. As Jason said, Sure, the freshmen are a little immature, but they're still swell kids. Kathy Daly 4.--P , B eing pushed from station to station., Frs. Tom Brad- whclmed by the chaos of registration.

We've got spirit, how 'bout you? The Class of '91 re- vealed their great spirit everywhere they gath- ered. Whether it was a varsity football game, a pep rally, or a freshman volleyball game, freshmen showed their pride and spirit with enthusiasm. Fr. Matt Dickerson said, A lot of people attended the freshman games and ac- tivities, showing interest in whatwe did. Since m ost of us have known each other since middle school, or even elementary school, we know everyone and have become close. It took lots of guts to go out and show everyone else that they were proud of their class, but that's exactly what the class of '91 did. Building their Homecoming float was one of the ways that they joined together to show their unity. Large numbers of people showed up to help build the float. Their efforts were rewarded with first place in the float contest in the parade. Our class is deter- mined. We set our goals and go out to fulfill them, said Fr. Heather Thomas. Because of the large number of freshmen that went out for sports and activities, anyone that made a team was proud to be a partof the athletic department. There were approxi' mately sixty students who went out for fresh' man football and an equal amount who tried out for cheerleading. These large statistics showed how much the freshmen wanted lobe a part of their school. Because this class had just begun their high school years, they would be able to continue to show spirit and pride for their school for the next three years. The freshmen showed that they could honestly end the cheer with this reply: We've got more!! Welve got more!l K . I llrrdgc! Haba K z . t . N ' We have an en thus:- astic class. We showed this by win- ning the float contest, which everyone helped to build. Fr. Tyler Sherman eading her classmates in the Homecoming parade is pride in being a part ofherclass. The freshmen float took just one of the ways Fr. Shannon Rogers shows her first place in the parade's float contest. Kelly Griescmer Copy and Layout: Melissa Luoem ........l.i.i.. ................ r
