FRESHMAN When an incoming freshman walks up U. of D. High's front steps and pulls open the heavy doors for the first time, a new world stands before him-strange, mysterious, and unexplored. At first everything is new, from the timid stranger sitting beside him to the black- robed teacher in front of the classy from the puzzles of Algebra and the first declension to that unforgettable first football game with its school spirit and spectacle.
