Narrate Berber Jody Caktwei P.F.S. By the time most RWA seniors reach graduation, they have been accepted by a college. Everything seems to be set for a bright future. Then it happens — P.F.S. strikes! This malady (pre-freshman syn- drome) is brought on in part by the feelings of superiority these same sen- iors have enjoyed for the past twelve months. They have been admired and envied by the underclassmen as the seniors left school for lunch or got out of school early on Fridays. They have been looked up to as leaders and stars of athletics and have attracted quite a following. Suddenly, all is changed. Now, these graduates must start over at the bot- tom of the ladder in college as they become “freshmen” again., Feelings of uncertainty arise for, this time, being a freshmen will be different. They will not have their long-time friends at their sides, but must make new friends and face new challenges. “Will I make it?” “Will I fit in?” are natural questions of every P.F.S. sufferer. Fortunately the cure also comes nat- urally. The “patient” is so busy in the weeks before leaving for college that he has little time to dwell on his prob- lem. By the time he makes his first trip home in the fall, his symptoms have completely disappeared and every- thing is “mahvalous.” Seniors MutHateried.

Swiss Lass Comes To RWA Nathalie Bersier, and 18 year old native of Switzerland, came to Winnsboro in August 1985 as a Ro- tary Exchange Student. She stayed in the homes of seven different host families, several of which are RWA families. Nathalie was also wel- comed as a member of the Richard Winn Class of 1986. Nathalie’s first days at Richard Winn were a little difficult for her because, although she had studied English, it was hard for her to under- stand “Southern.” She soon be- came accustomed to the language, and began to assist Mrs. Robinson in the French classes and even to teach French to lower school stu- dents. Actually Nathalie is further ad- vanced in school than her peers here. She has already attended two years of college and will finish next year. At home she enjoys hand- painting porcelin, knitting, and horseback riding. She is quite like American teenagers, howevpr. Her favorite pasttime here is watching MTV.
