Viewpoints differ from class to class Gee whiz. Today will be my first day at a real high school. I can't wait to get there. Let's see, do I have all my folders? Here's English, Spanish, algebra, geography, biology and health and safety. All six are there. Where is my Raider button? I can't leave without my Raider button. Everyone will have a Raider button. Oh yeah, it's pinned on my shirt. It's already 8:00. I better get out to the bus stop. Gosh. Nobody's out there. What if I missed the bus? Iim not even at school yet, and I'm already lost. What should I do? I can't find my homeroom, A120. Should I ask someone where to go? No, I don't want anyone to think I'm a stupid freshman. Maybe I am only a sophomore, but that's better than being a stupid freshman. Now where's that homeroom? Maybe I should go downstairs and look. The bell's going to ring pretty soon, and I want to be on time. I better ask. That man with glasses near the office looks friendly. I'll bet he's a teacher. His face looks familiar. I'll ask him where to go. Sir, excuse me please. Do you know where room A120 is? I'm almost positive I know, but I just want to make sure. Oh, you must be one of the new freshmen or . . . Did I say something wrong? . . . Mom, can I drive to school today? Come on, it's the first day. What do you mean, IIm taking the bus? Let me use the car. Why not? You let Sue drive when she was a junior. And you let Jane drive when she was a junior, too. Why cant I drive? Guess what, mom, the bus just went by. Now I have to drive to school. What do you mean you'll take me? If anyone finds out about this, I'll be a laughingstock. Everybody drives to school, and my mom is taking me. Hey, there's Tom and Joe. They're on the bus. Joe's talking to Tom and pointing at me. Now he's pointing at my mom. They're laughing. Why didnlt I take the bus? What do you mean get out from under the seat? Please mom, just take me home. . . . Look at all the freshmen and sophomores running around. It looks like the Home EC. Department is sponsoring a babysitting service. None of them know where they're going. It's Where's the cafeteria? and Where's Mrs. Wrasse's room? and How do I get to my homeroom? I'm tired of silly questions. Here comes another freshman. Excuse me. Could you please tell me how to get to Miss Joy's room? Miss Joy? I never even heard of Miss Joy. She must be new. What should I say? I can't ruin my image. How can you bother me with such trivial questions? Go ask a junior to direct you through the halls. Sophomore Sue Rowley boogies down at a Fri- day night dance. Senior John Morse puffs on a cancer stick. Students splash to their buses. Senior Gordon Hoffmaster and Freshman Scott Thode talk it over.
