School Year

Became Easy

B
eing a sophomore meant much more than
being a freshman. There were many
advantages.
One advantage as Kathleen Burke put it
was, " you didn't get lost as much anymore."
However, knowing more about the school wasn't
the only advantage. Michelle Honaker said it was
easier because "you knew a lot more people than
before."
Other sophomores found that the second
year of of their high school lives brought more
responsibility and activities. Amy Rennerfeld
noticed that sophomores could "do some stupid
things and get away with a lot of stuff." In regard
to activities, Heather Weekly said, "There were
more opportunities to get involved in activities
and clubs."
Becoming a sophomore for some meant
beginning to look for a part time job. Ginger
Hughes thought that, "Sophomores should be
able to handle the responsibility of holding a job
and yet keep up in schooL" Since many so-
phmores had never held a job before Junior Mark
Oberg was quick to say, "Sophomores will take
the jobs that juniors and seniors don't want."
Some sophomore students, like Heather
Hobenstein, thought the classes were not very
difficult. Others, like Jeanne Hieb, insisted that
the classes were, "much harder and not much
fun."
For many sophomores, getting their driver's
license was one of the bigger thrills. However,
because of limited parking spaces, the school did
not allow parking for sophomore drivers, which
did raise some bad feelings. "I thought sopho-
mores should have been able to drive to school
Waiting for their class in the 11 -12 building to begi n are if they had a license," said Julie Giersch.

However, bad feelings toward classes and
parking came in second to the fact that they were
no longer freshmen. Andrea Raker said, "I wasn't
looked down on anymore."
