A timid freshman innocently wanders through the forbid- den front door. To him. high school is a new adventure. and he wonders what new experiences it will bring. A sophon more gazes sadly at the pile Orbooks before him and heaves a sigh. He knows what high school is like. His senior year seems a long way off: and he despuirs, ttls it really worth it? A junior renews his haekneyed resolve to ttwork harder this yeart To him. high school is old stuff. A senior. conlident and sure of himself. Swaggers into the eateterim vitally conscious of his position on the top of the heap. Then the First bell rings, the lust bus departs. and the open- ing day of school begins. A new Latin teacher reviews familiar declensions. Science pupils are stumped by the strange jargon spoken by their instructors. Math scholars realize that its going to be :1 long year. For some students, this is the only day on which harmony reigns between them and their teachers. For oth- ers it is the only day on which they understand the subject matter perfectly. For all. it is the realization that another school year has begun. Finally. the day is over. Pandemonium erupts as students rush outside to take advantage of the last day of no home- work. Routine has once more settled over the school.
