frosh

     Is it me, or are the freshmen getting smallerevery year? Last year some of them were, maybe, up to my nose. And I'm not very tall. But there they were, scurrying around school in little packs, leaning way forward with lockersful of books strapped to their backs.
     Now they're even smaller, and I'm worried that they're just gonna start toppling backward, one by one, and not be able to get back up. They're just so tiny! What I want to know is who is sending these little midgies to high school, and who is underfeeding their darling offspring! I am truly concerned! Some of the girls' nice blonde hair is so big it's threatening to eat them up.
     On the other hand, it's nice to be able to see across the hallways, and to know that if they get too obnoxious I need only stomp on one to get him out of my way. Still, though, I think something ought to be done. Soon the freshman backpacks will bear them all down and they'll be obstructing the hallways. The last thing I want is to have to step over all 443 of them on my way to Physics.
