THE HOOSIER WHAT THE FRESHMEN THINK OF R. H. S. On the first day of our High School life, September 4, 1922 many pleasant 11ml also unpleasant impressions were formed. Some of us thought of it only as a place for a, real good timeiothers thought it would be a constant grind for four long years. Many other imr pressions were formed of the large as- sembly room and class rooms, while personal opinions were formed of our teachers, classmates and upper elassmen. In High School we have only four studies to master, therefore we llO not expect them to be burdensome at first, but as we advance our lessons grow constantly in length. In due time we had our class meeting, elected our officers, and adopted the resolution to show the upper classmen, who, by the way, called us tlgreeniesfi what we really coultl do. That attitude was altered somewhat when we lost in the Hoosier contest. We were consoled however, by the fact that the Freshmen nearly always lost. And so with renewed enthusiasm we look forward to the coming events of the year. GIRLS MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF HIGH SCHOOL. My first impression of High School was a wet and uncomfortable one. I thought that to he lifted bodily and have my hearl dipped three times into the perils of the deep was a fearful ins dignity for a person entering High School. This was very narrow lllllltlEll, of course, because when I am a Soph I will do the same thing and with as much enthusiasm. To be sure, I liked Latin, lox'ed general llllllllAL Soieuce, because we eouhl sit in seats like bleachers; thought English was a good subject on account of the solid stuff in it; fought along with algebra and took music because of that half a credit. The Junioi-s joined in the hazing of the poor Freshmen which I resented Very much at first, but find they are a good set now. I was awed by the lofty significance of the Seniors but would have bet they were a good set of fellows. Altogether R. H. S. gave me the most pleasing impression I have ever perieneell. CX- A NEW IDEA IN ENGLISH. A few weeks ago Miss Hetherington introduced 21 novel and unusual method of studying English. As all new llthlS are welcome and especially ideas about studying, this one was received with much enthusiasm. Her plan was to put all the items of interest in the classics studied by the Juniors and Seniors tHamlet and Mac- hvthl into newspaper form, headlines, cartoons, pictures and everything which goes to make up a modern newspaper. This not only showed what talent the students hall along journalistic lines hut it provided a new method of studying and gave the inmgination FL 01131160 to assert itself. There were a number of very clever articles handed in, among which Mac- beth was represented as a farmer, a capitalist ainl the proprietor of a hotel. Many other ideas, equally strange, were handed in. This is just a sample of the strange 21nd amusing turns oneis imag- ination can take when it is allowed to wander without being held in check. A few of the more clever articles are
