omewhere between the pop- ular vacation cities of Miami, Florida and Los Angeles, Cali- fornia, lies the Painted Desert of Arizona. Likewise, between the nov- elty of being a freshman, and the free- dom and excitement of being an upper- classman, lies the desert of boredom known as sophomore year. Upperclassmen have many responsi- bilities which do not apply to sopho- mores, and vice-versa. Sophomores aren ' t in any great hurry to decide which college they want to attend, or what they plan on doing for the rest of their lives. The minds of sophomores are fixed on the here and now of their school careers. They resent the fact that they have the responsibility to go to assigned studies. As Lauren McCarthy commented, My least favorite part of being a sophomore is not having frees , and not being able to use the Coke machines anytime we want to. Yet sophomores have a sense of se- curity, placing them one step ahead of freshmen. George Keagan remarked, with a sigh of relief, I ' ve got my fresh- man year behind me. Caught between the freshmen and ■ the upperclassmen can, at times, fa- ' tigue a person almost as much as travel- ling through the desert. Impatient to be- { come juniors, sophomores are forced to wait through a seemingly endless year, j The only consolation is that the class i before them got through it, as did the i class before them. In fact, no matter I how bad things have gotten, Braintree ' High School has never lost a class on i their journey through the desert of j sophomore year. | Sophomores Sioux Griffin, Angela Scalisi, Kelly Ronan, Stephanie Bradlee, Karen Hanley, and Jennifer Pacelli gather with Mr. Goldman and his daughter in his I office.
