Frosh Lost in New World Orientation day brought us, the bewildered yet anxious Freshmen, to a strange environment. Fortunately, we were alone. Only a few helpful Student Council members were on hand to direct us to our classes. After receiving our schedules, we quickly moved from class to class to get our bearings. Yes, we found the boiler room and the first grade rooms but not the assigned ones. Finally, we learned our whereabouts, became acquainted with our teachers and purchased our books. Now, we were ready for that unforgettable first day of school. ENTRANCE EXAMS supervised by Sister M. Venard admitted Mary Miodzianow, Gregory Gargulinski, Janice Sychta, Gregory Goran and Diane Pasternak as new freshmen. REGISTRATION was a completely new experience for Freshmen Kathleen Wittner, Barbara Rama, and James Profata whom Sister M. Jerome, principal, guided. In the elementary school, all stu- dents took the same curriculum. Now, they had to choose their courses from arts and crafts, health, drafting, science, algebra, general math, clothing, Latin, English, and ethics. This proved quite a challenge.

BUYING BOOKS, old and new, called for many shrewd money deals. Jacqueline Kurawski, Diane Volinski, Robert Selke and Donald Sioma took the easy way out and bought new books from Sister M. David at the bookstore. Such a stack of books WHERE DO WE GO NEXT was the question the Freshmen asked on Orientation day. Charles Cholewa double checked his card as Senior Charlotte Burzynski assisted Camille Misukiewicz and Judith Mazur locate themselves. should have dismayed the new Freshmen, but they seemed rather pleased at being the proud owners of so much knowledge. Even the boys smiled. THIS CAN'T BE IT Diane Salaski and Robert Omilian thought as they checked their schedules against a first grade room. 7
