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.

The time had come: I had to get my schedule and begin. hat a mess it was. Freshmen so filled the halls that getting into the office was like getting into a grandstand at a fair. After displaying much courage and labor, I finally gained the interior of the office to confront Mr. Thomas. When my schedule was handed to me. it all came back. It seemed that I was taking some subjects 1 had never heard of, but after some time I got everything straightened out. Again I was re - established and ready to begin another year with quite a happy feeling inside me. I entered class with that high spirit that accompanies a beginner. The room was filled with old friends and everything seemed so strangely pleasant. Even the teacher seemed in a very good humor for some reason. We talked for some time, about one thing and another; but after what seemed to be much too soon, some books put in their appearance. A shadow, which accompanied the books seemed to be cast over the room. Our gay attitude changed to a more serious one for we realized this meant more weeks of study, toil, and learning so that we might not have to do the same thing next year. Next, I turned my steps toward the manual training department. 1 he first thing T knew. 1 found Mr. Chapp trying to make clear to me how to operate a new machine. What he was saving sounded as complicated as the machine appeared. A new supply of lumber made the importance of the saws stand out. The scheme made me want to get started to working. What I could do with a hammer and a few nails was beyond doubt. I could see myself now, studying plans beside some great structure which I am supervising. However dreams must be forgotten for the present.
