accepted chemistry class far fought freshmen good guys league near obviously reason roles seniors
It's obviously not as decorated a class as they've had come through here, but as far as maximizing their abilities, these guys did it pretty well. One big reason why the freshmen have done better here and done so well in the league is because the seniors have accepted their roles and haven't fought it. If they had fought it, our chemistry wouldn't be near as good as it is.
