As elementary schoolers, many students were detached from the idea of high school. Cinematic portrayals painted a picture of superficial cliques, alluring drama, and occasional outbursts of song. In a effort to relive our past innocence, I headed down the block to Murch Elementary School to interview some future Tigers and explore their assumptions about high school.

Q1: What do you think high school is going to be like?

M: Just straight up BORING, but I know Wilson has a pool.

K: Weird and big.

N: High School Musical but less singing.

Q2: What do you think the worst thing about Wilson is going to be?

M: The plays.

K: Not having recess and walking around.

N: All the fighting and the people.

Q3: What is the worst thing kids are going to do in class?

M: Chew gum and then put it under the desk.

K: Well I know when I get beat up at elementary school it hurts, but I think when I leave for high school it’s going to be way worse.

N: Talk.

Q4: What are you most excited about for high school?

M: The parties and the pool.

K: Seeing how much homework I get.

N: Well after I’m done with high school I’m done with school all together so that.

Q5: What do you think high schoolers are like?/ If you know any high schoolers now what are they like?

M: I think they’re all just really old.

K: They’re like grown ups.

N: Really big and mean. They also curse all the time.
