Fresh Fish Find Friends, Fight Fears
    By Brittany Slade

The first day of high school at a new high school can be nerve-racking, confusing, and exiting all at the same time.  This year's freshmen agree but also stress that there are many things about high school that is better than junior high.

Several were interested in the increase of opposite gender possibilities.

"There are more hot guys," Kellie Almanza replied.

Stephen Neel agreed with a smile "there are more ladies."

Freshman year can be intimidating at first.  When asked what the scariest thing about high school Aaron Armendariz said, "Getting Lost."

"I was scared what the senior guys would do to me," CJ Harris said.

High school is obviously different from junior high and the first few days usually not only bring the nervousness of the unknown but the excitement of discovering new things.

"Lunch is better and there are a lot more people here," Kelcie Miles said.

Brittany Fann is just happy to be here at MHS with her big brother, Devon.

When the 2006 seniors were freshman there were some graduating seniors that we all thought were the hottest thing since sliced bread.  Today's freshmen are no different.

Tyler Watson's favorite seniors this year are Gentry Watson, of course, and Janessa Rodriguez.  Kassie George's favorite seniors are Laura Rameriz and Sam Graves.

Some of the most embarrassing moments in high school happen during our freshmen year.  Spencer Phipps was embarrassed about having to ask everyone where his classes where.  Debbie Grey fell down the stairs trying to hurry to class.

"I was embarrassed because I accidentally walked into the boy's bathroom," Cat Terry said.

When asked the best thing about being a fish, Blake Hughes answered as only he could, "Swimming  underwater."
