A Class With Class! You ' re not a freshman anymore, but you ' re not an upperclassman ei- ther; so your teachers don ' t expect alot out of you. It is a time to grow up. Shannon Rathbun is giving her opinion on just what exactly a soph- omore is. The sophomore class is probably the most overlooked and unnoticed class on campus. You don ' t get the attention that goes with being a freshman, and you ' re not a big junior that has become an upperclassman, and you certainly lack the authority and presteige that the seniors obtain. So what ' s left? Sophomores are special, not because of what they do, but be- cause of who they are. Your sopho- more year is like a year for chang- ing; you get your drivers license and with that comes a lot of respon- sibility. It ' s a time to reflect on the past, and a time to make goals and to look toward the future. I look forward to being one of the upper- classmen and being able to partici- pate in water-polo CIF finals, com- mented Mike Maclear. Todd Pope and Meredith Cline turn jusi in time to catch the camera. Meredith is involved in many sports, and Todd is planning a trip to Mexico over Easter vacation with his church.

An Angel ' s Son His dad is the starting catcher for the Cali- fornia Angel ' s Baseball team. Rod Carew came to watch him play basketball. People always ask him for tickets. He has gone to many different cities on road trips. Bret Boone, despite his well-known dad, tried to be just a normal new student at E.D. He hung out with his friends and got involved in sports. Bret was in the starting five of the JV basketball team and averaged 10 points a game. He also plays baseball. I like both bas- ketball and baseball, but I feel I ' m better at baseball, said Bret. He has played baseball for 9 years. His dad got him into his first little league. Bret came here from New Jersey, where he had lived for the past 8 years. My family came to California every summer so we could be near my dad, and this year we de- cided to stay here, replied Bret. He has had to get used to his dad being away a lot. Most boys have their dads home every night, but then most boys don ' t have a dad who is a professional baseball player. I have gone on some road trips with my dad, but the best was when we went to Hawaii. Brett Boone, new to El Dorado after moving from New Jersey, made many new friends and was in volved in basketball and baseball.
