Frosh Adjust to Adverse Surroundings The quiet look of satisfaction on freshman Jim Bittner's face is apparent on the faces of all of Mr Loparo s typing students. In his early weeks at Ignatius, the still unsettled freshman feels like an alien, separated from the rest of the school community. He is harrassed by sophomores, ignored by the upper classes, barred from mixers, and often shunned by extra-curricular organizations. The freshman, however, tries to be recognized, tries to become a part of the Ignatian community. He quickly goes out and purchases a blue and gold bimbo bag and a Wildcat jacket, but just as quickly discovers that this does not change anything. The class of 78, however, refusing to give up, is finding recognition through a special kind of spirit, the Spirit of 78! Fdsa ikl; is a new language to freshman Mark Madigan as he muddles his way through another session with Mr. Leparo. 19

Introduction to a new environment is always a difficult experience. There was no exception on orientation day as the timid frosh hit the doors of Ignatius for the first time, officially initiating their four year stay at Carroll and West 30. After a mass in the student chapel, the confused and anxious freshman were herded from room to room, filling out forms, buying books, paying tuition, and having their picture taken. Some semblance of order and sanity was maintained, thanks to the very patient help of the Big Brothers organization. Exhausted by this harrowing experience, the newly-oriented freshman set out on the first of many long journeys home from Ignatius. Eagerly, freshman Tony Rolando anticipates guidance from tireless Mr. Felice who has only confronted 248 frosh already.
