It’s better saying I'm in high school.” said feshman Kurt Bergmark. Most freshman agree that they like the status of being in high school. “The teachers aren't as strict with classroom rules. There’s more free- dom. You can chew gum and are fre- er to speak out. After school deten- tions are fewer. continued Kurt. I like being in high school, com- mented Jennifer Walker, “because I can stay up later on week nights, and I can stay out to midnight on week- ends. Now I can finally date.” Jimmy Matlock had a different reason for liking his freshman year. I like being a freshman because I can play sports. I get picked on a lot because I'm so short, but I still made the basketball team, and I played in games. That means a lot to me.” Kim Brown, Jennifer Walker. Jim- my Matlock, and Kurt Bergmark share some insights at Kurt s lock er.
