This year's freshman class was a big one; 99 people to be exact. It was the largest in five years. At first, the size of the class took the seniors by surprise, but they soon got back into that old familar. pick on freshman mold. Lisa Fanshier. senior, said of the freshman class. Seeing how they acted reminded me of how we acted when we were freshman, and how full of hope we were for our high school years. The freshmen had their own views on the year too. Darin Simmer found many difficulties in the year. I saw problems within Pep Club and W-Club but they faded out with the year. But there were some who thought the freshman year was a lot better than junior high. Kim Seamans took on this view. I thought the freshman year was ex- citing and was very different than junior high because you could do your own thing. You wer- en't treated like a baby. Krista Coon agreed with this opinion. I thought the high school year had a lot more exciting things to do than in the past years in junior high. Overall, the class had an optimistic view on the year. They are looking forward to their sophomore year with a hope, until finally, it will be them walking across that stage to receive their diploma.
