Wearing Off The Green The first question that entered our minds the first day of High School was “Should we show up early or lag behind as we had seen our upper classmen doing?” We shortened it down to getting there about bell time. Going to our appointed Homeroom, we tried to look dignified and important; but I ' m afraid we made a flop of it, because we couldn’t feel quite so sure of our¬ selves as our upper classmen. Let us tell you, we might have been green as grass, but we can say one thing, none of us were lonesome. We Freshmen landed together, trying to find our class¬ rooms. This change of rooms with every class,..slightly bewildered us, but one ' ' ‘ ‘ ‘ 1 . advantage to it was that we changed teachers as-well! After a week or two of learning all the rules—not only high school rules—and after having been well initiated into high school life, we finally took our places in the school. Just remember when you ' re talking about us, be careful what you say, for we won ' t always be Freshmen. Our highest ambition now is to be a Senior and even though it seems a long way off. we ' re sure to make it by and by.
