Perkins, gathering in his musicians for the next piece, found him there. "Come along, Freshie." The first mandolin rose slowly. "What's the matter?" asked the leader. "Oh, nothing," said the other, "I'll be all right." After the piece he went back to the dressing-room. "Encore!" cried Perkins, rushing in. "I can't help it," said Van, in a contracted tone, "I can't go on."
"Are you an old student here, may I ask?" "No, ma'am. I'm a Freshie, just off the farm. Cherry County. Were you hunting somebody?" "No, thank you. That is " Alexandra wanted to detain him. "That is, I would like to find some of my brother's friends. He graduated two years ago." "Then you'd have to try the Seniors, wouldn't you?
Anne was never attended by the crowd of willing victims who hovered around Philippa's conquering march through her Freshman year; but there was a lanky, brainy Freshie, a jolly, little, round Sophomore, and a tall, learned Junior who all liked to call at Thirty-eight, St. John's, and talk over 'ologies and 'isms, as well as lighter subjects, with Anne, in the becushioned parlor of that domicile.
Thornton, as he sat in the principal's room, poring and pondering over the whole distressing matter. Thompson and the other football leaders came trooping over to Dick & Co. as soon as they heard the noise. Prescott was a hero with the football crowd. There was no use in telling them anything against their little freshie hero.

Barbara Severn, the Baltimore freshie, who Marjorie had looked out for on her arrival at Hamilton, won the position of right guard, and was also praised for her work. Once the team was chosen the director put them through fifteen minutes of snappy play.
"Dozia was a little bit reckless of course," admitted the mentor, "and she did seem to coddle the fact that her hammer fell on Shirley's head. I recall she even said she was glad it hit her and hoped the blow would send the freshie home to her 'maw." Jane wanted to laugh but she refrained. There was a strange proctor in office this year to be considered.
You do not have a bit of jealousy about letting a 'freshie' step in ahead of some who have been here two and three years." "We want to win games," cried Louise Reed. "Whoever makes goals for us, suits us whether she's a freshman or a senior. Get the pennant and we'll carry you home on our shoulders." They had come to Sixty-two. Erma and Mame in company with Berenice walked on down the corridor.
Fred Ripley called back over his shoulder. "I'll settle my score with you at my convenience!" Then, as he put more distance between himself and the other Gridley High School boys, Ripley added to himself: "That settlement shall stop at nothing to put Dick Prescott in the dust -where he belongs." "Oh, freshie, but you've coolness and judgment," cried Thompson, approvingly.
