Sophomores Struggle To Get Ahead Sophomore year had to be, by far,the toughest year for all concerned. Things seemed to get more difficult. As ex- plained by sophomore class officer Chris Tomooko, Teachers required more work, and we didn't have the easy P.E. class. It was a time of adjustment in all aspects of student life. The sophomore class officers had a rough start due to their lack of exper- ience. Su Oh, Nola Magno, Chris To- mooko, and Carmela Tan found out first hand what the difficulties were in holding such positions. They never re- alized how hard it was to motivate a class or to earn a place on Student Council. l l l Sr. Marie Therese, presently the sophomore class moderator, has been the backbone for the class the last four years. Sophomore class officers vice president Chris Tomooka, president Su Oh, treasurer Carmela Tan, and secretary Nola lvlagno tried their har- dest to lead the class and make them as spirited as possible. 96 Students The class was filled with many peo- ple who wanted to make the year a bet- ter one. One person was sophomore Ma- rie Fontana. She was a good student, athlete, and all-around spirited young lady. She was a player on the varsity soccer and volleyball team. She knew how to budget her time between activi- ties and school work. Carmela Tan ex- pressed her feelings about sophomore year in the following poem: Days of adjustment are now gone, It's our second year in high school, time to move on Somewhat older, almost upperclassmen Finally beyond, being little freshmen If it's spirit you want, it's what you've got Achievements we have, losers we're not When we get started, everyone better watch out For we give our best, the sky is the limit You'll see in the end, we're sure to succeed That's our destiny, we were born to lead. Classes are tougher, homework a ton Who ever said being a sophomore was fun? ,H ,Uv . If 'al - , .a4. .
