freshman class or freshman English. This line from Olson relates to me very well and anyone else who is at this school as a freshman.

It can relate to anyone that goes to college and how everything is being updated with new improved word. Example, cafeteria is now considered and called a dining hall. The author is trying to get the point across that the terms that are changing today are changing with the times and how our values change.
