Tagged as frosh, they become known only by their mental incompetencies and high-pitched utterances. The freshman instantaneously becomes the object of ridicule, whether it be in the form of an apple in his head at lunch, or in being urged to sing the alma mater on the ghetto bus. The freshman docs, however, exhibit some amount of perception as he realizes that his niche in the Ignatius community is that of a member of the lower class. Accompanied by only his loyal bimbo, the new Ignatian finds the school to be much more than just an academic environment. Faced with pressure in every phase of Ignatian life, the frosh will look back on his first year as by far his most confusing.

The elated look expressed by this freshman reaffirms the traditional fact that the bimbo is the frosh's best friend. Underclass 25

The prime concern of the day was to acquaint the freshmen with the ways and traditions of Ignatius, as well as to answer any questions they’might have. These objectives were met through small-group meetings and lunchtime conversations. More importantly, however, the class of 79 developed a sense of unity. Utterly stymied by his new environment.
