My what an experience 1 had this morning. Soon as I got to school, I got lost, I didn’t know where I was or where 1 was to go next. I was beginning to feel like a fish out of water until a kind senior boy came along and showed me where to go. He took me up to the top of the stairs and pointed out my English room, but after I got out of the room, 1 was lost again. However, all during the day the Seniors took the Freshmen in hand and did the best they could toward our liking and becoming acquainted with the school. I surely was surprised to see so many students. The hall was filled with them, especially boys. I guess the girls don’t get up and get to school as early as the boys do. Some of the boys were fixing their lockers, some at the water faucets, etc. One thing that I noticed in particular was the friendliness of the students. All the students helped one another, showed lockers, and did everything else possible to help one another. When school was out, what I had feared most all day occurred, I was walking down the hall, getting ready to go out the door, when suddenly I felt myself l eing lifted in the air —I was being taken in the arms of two senior boys. Howls of laughter from the upper - classmen were heard and suddenly through the air I went into the oushes. Woh ! did it hurt! I don’t think I would have ever got out if it hadn’t been for some kind bystander. All around me the same thing was going on, freshmen were hitting the bushes, here and there. We were being initiated into the realms of Westville High School.
