September 2001 The Quaker Page 5 Seniority Rule vs. Freshmen Rights BY DANIELLE BAIR

Every high school has its traditions and we at Salem are no exception. Our students battle over the same issues every year. It is a case of who is stronger, older, and smarter. Our seniors this year are only carrying out the same traditions that they went through their freshman year. We 're the veterans of this school and we want to make that fact well known. In regard to the following issues, the senior (S) and freshman (F) consensus seems to be ....

The seniors makini;: the freshmen carry up their trays S: We're bigger. Plus we carried tl\em for the seniors when we were freshmen, now it's our turn to be waited on. F: It's not fair! We have other things to do. Besides, they've been doing it for the past 4 years, why stop now?! The first five rows at anfa sportini;: event belong solely to seniors. .Underclassmen- move on upt S: We're bigger. For the ~st three years all we could see was the back of the tall kid's head, or the girl with the bighair always wa~ ri?.ht in front of us: No~, at last, we'll be i;ible to :figure out why the crowd is chee~~·

F: You thmk we can tell what 1s go mg on from b1ack there? You want us to have some school spmt but we can't even see the scoreboard. Because the lunch lines are so ridiculously long. seniors move to the front of the line evervday. S: We're bigger. We need more food. F: We are all just as hungry as you a're and we're still growing. First come should be first served! Did you ever notice all the i;:roups of freshmen that conju2ate in the senior hallway? F: Technically th.ere Is no sign anywhere proving that is the senior hall. All halls in this school are open to everyone. We have just as much right to be there as you do. S: No you don't. I'm the senior, now move, I win.
