Lm m PGPBGEDEe 4! liLiL ' A few years ago this school opened its doors to new Phantoms who were members of both the freshman and sophomore classes. Today the new students arriving in August are usually of the freshman designation. We have grown ac¬ customed to having this extra class of enthu¬ siastic individuals scurrying through the halls. Freshmen find life at Phoebus to be both con¬ fusing and interesting. The vast amount of free¬ dom that they are suddenly faced with is a huge difference from the “catered to” approach they experienced in the middle school setting. Most ninth graders adjusted to the change in atmosphere readily; however, some found that they were only beginning to find their way around the halls as the mid-term time period approached. Ninth graders are an essential part of the Phantom pride that exists in the school. Their school spirit placed them in the finals in the tug- of-war contest during basketball homecoming week. Yes, ninth graders do have a special place in the history of Phoebus. Phantom freshmen enjoy the luxury of the mall dining area. Student Life
