When these freshmen entered South Side High School, they, like all other freshmen the world over, were confused and green. South Side, more than many other schools perhaps, is a confusing place. In the first place there are many persons in the school, some 2079 students last year. In the second place, the building itself is perhaps complicated and difficult to find onels way in it with all of its labyrinth of rooms and passages. In the third place, there is always a great and varied amount of activity going on, bewildering to any newcomer. The students and faculty do their best to help the freshmen to do .away with some of his confusion, but it is a hard job, and it is difficult for any freshman to be completely at ease in South Side. Then there are always those practical jokers who take pleasure in even further confusing and torment- ing the green freshmen. In a word, the sophomores. Perhaps it would be interesting to follow Johnnie Freshman through his first day at school. He comes to school with fears of persecution instilled in him while still in grade school. So with trepidation and great misgiving he approaches the school for his first inspection. lVlisery likes company, so Johnny at- taches himself to others in the plot. Perhaps he has played on him one of the many jokes reserver for use against greenhorns. Maybe he is directed toward the grill work in the front hall, which is actually the opening of a Ventilating shaft, and is told that it is an elevator which will -connect him to the second floor. Well, he thinks, this is a line school-elevators and everything. At grade school one had to walk from one floor to another, but now one merely has to push a button and be whisked quickly to his destination. Although he doesn't find any button, he decides to wait for the elevator. So he waits and waits, good- ness knows how long. Then some kindly disposed upperclassman or Uwisev fellow freshman explains the joke to him, and then his benefactor probably proceeds to play one of his own on him, such as sending him to get a library card fthere are nonej . Among the freshmanls other trials and tribulations is the difficulty of finding the correct room in the building. During the first few days, he often gets lost and finally arrives at his destination after the class has begun. The freshman's early troubles may be discouraging, but, as time passes, his confusion ripens into understanding, his former tormentors be- come his friends, and his first few days become a pleasant and amusing memory. These freshmen, along with all the ugreeniesu, comprise the most promising freshman groups ever to enter South Side. This class has taken hold in the extra activities and are in very good standing in class work.
