The Senior as the Freshman Sees Him FTER eight long years of hard study, the Freshman enters High School, quite sure she has accomplished great things. She comes armed with a long diploma, tied with yards of class-colors, and she is sure she knows things! She finds herself, the first day, among a great many other fresh men, like herself, and as she is being taken from one class-room to another, she wonders at the action of the pupils. She is accustomed to the discipline of the graded school, and does not understand the self-government used at High School. As she watches the throng of pupils hurrying thither and yon, a certain few attract her attention. They are slightly more dignified than the others, and are perfectly at ease where she is most frightened. Someone tells her they are the Seniors. She regards them with curiosity and awe at first. They have all but reached the desired goal. They go about intent upon their work, quite at ease, and entirely unconscious of the presence of two hundred diploma-armed people. That is a new phase of the question. She finds she is yet at the foot of another ladder, and it is time for her to set about the work of climbing. She later peeps into the room where they are assembled. They are discussing Chaucer and seem to have forgotten all about themselves, so intent do they listen to a little lady equally oblivious of present surroundings. The little Freshman hastens to her room, to con her little lessons, to bring to her English class one or more of the pearls of thought handed down just for her, from happy-hearted Irving. Anyway, Irving knew every one could not be wise Seniors and discuss Chaucer, so he left his smile and his humorous stories to the little Freshman, as a comfort after they got a steady footing on the lowest round of the High School ladder.
