"How could you possibly get~
lost in this little school?" X
often hear them ask. It',a
really quite easy when you're
in grade nine!
1 was talking to a few
people last week :about their
first impressions of higlt;
school. The first ,day was not
a good one for any of us.
Everyone was nervous in
-
chiding the . grade ten .to
thirteen students who tease.
us about being scared.
Everyone went to school with
their hair freshly washed and
dried, if it, wasn't still wet t
and their new clothes neatly
pressed and ironed by their
mothers. Most of the kids I
was talking to the first day
were either too nervous to.
talk or too busy,. Theonly,
thing we could say to each
other was "1 like your top or'l
like your pants" and .we'd.
say that once every five:
minutes!
EASIER
The second day seemed
much easier on us. We still
didn't know what we were
doing but we seemed to have
a better idea. That helped a
lot, As we'dwalk down the
hall, we'd get called almost
every name you could think
of to infer that we were not
quite High School students
until the day of initiation that
we'd all like to. forget!
"Grub" and "children" are
not uncommon things to be
called in High School (espec-
ially by the grade ten stu-
dents that were called
"Grubs" last year)y.. Next. ,
week when,Friday makes its
unwanted appearance,. all of
the grade nine students will
haunt the streets of Seaforth
in their crazy outfits on the.
way to school, Who knows
what will happen when they
arrive, but if I live through it
I may write abopt`it in next
week's paper. a er
One day last :June most`. of
the grade eight students
(now grade nine) went to the •
high school for orientation.

Would be more confusion.
RESPONSII IL Y
One of the best things for a
grade nine student going into,
high school is the feeling of
responsibility lity and satisfact
ion . of getting a locker.
Unfortunately there are some
people, like me, who buy
-their lock, pick -out a locker,
put the lock on the locker and
walk away without bothering
to look at the number of the
locker. It's people like me
that have to try out every'
locker on'theone side of th'e.
hall trying out their combin-
ation to see which locker is
theirs. Fortunately after
three or four tries
on one
locker, it opened'. It's funny
to laugh at it now but at the
time it is so embarrassing!
Staying at school all day is
also a' big change for most

Michelle says "Lunches, are
good. There's lots of time:to:
get home for lunch and say hi
to my family." Actually there
area lot of good things about
high school. One of the best
things is the school spirit.
JOIN TEAMS
There are teams and clubs
you can join even if you are
just a student from grade
nine. At first we didn't think
we could join into the groups,
but then we were encouraged
by y students and teachers to
conte out to meetingsand
practise. We all felt a little'
bit shy and didn't feel right
being at practise. I kept
people'
Leaving Public School was
a bard thing for most of us to
do. ' One girl that 1 was
talking to said"High School
is a lot bigger than my old
school but I still consider it
small!", She also said that
she liked the longer lunch
hour and having a locker
instead •of having to stuff
everything .into a small desk,.
Most of the grade nine's
opinion was the same. More
independence, responsibil-
ities and students!
The first impression of
High School was, pretty good:
The teachers are nice and; so.
