Sophs, too, must plan for the future According to Sophomore Counselor Merilyn Traylor the tenth grade year is the most crucial. Choices concerning high school and even college and career choices must be made. The selection of classes that will satisfy University of California and the State University system must be consid- ered. Grades are never so important as they will begin to be during this year. With colleges and universities demand- ing more academically challenging classes the pressure is on for students to in upper levels of math, science and for- eign languages. Not only is enrollment in these classes necessary for acceptance to colleges, but good grades in those classes are also mandatory. Teachers, well aware of the increased entrance requirements, tried to warn classes of them, often to no avail. I wish I'd applied myself more during my sophomore year, I just did enough to get by, said one senior. My grades aren't that hot, I'll end up at a junior college and after I've brought my grades up I'll transfer to a university. Sure, I was told by my counselor and by teach- ers that sophomore grades matter, but at I5 I guess I was just not mature enough to listen. The Class of '85 is heeding the warning, if class selections and an emphasis on grades are any indication. More sopho- mores are enrolling in more academical- ly challenging classes, they are not as in- terested in acquiring the right number of units for graduation as they are in satisfying entrance level requirements to colleges and universities. Gone forever are the days of coasting through high school, even sophomores must begin to plan for the future. Sarene McKnight attacks a timed typing test.

New laws discussed New laws that would ultimately affect all California residents, but most important to the sophomores enrolled in Drivers' Educa- tion, were discussed in the California Legisla- ture this year. As always, the law that would make the mandatory legal driving age eighteen, was discussed. As always, that bill met with stiff opposition. Supporters of the change cited that insurance rates would be lowered, fewer accidents would occur and automobile related crimes among juveniles would also drop. Op- ponents also cited that automobile sales would drop, many minors would drive with- out the benefit of licensing and, they con- Mary Q Saw Blufyp fames Bludwortb fp?

That issue, as always, ended in a deadlock. More seriously discussed was a stricter penal- ty for juveniles convicted of drunk driving. A mandatory suspension of the driver's license for one year or until the juvenile reaches the age of eighteen, whichever is the longer peri- od of time, was seriously debated. Any new laws passed affecting drivers seems to hit hardest at the sophomores because they are the ones engaged in the pursuit of the single most important piece of document most teenagers possess, their drivers' license. 1.

More and more healthy snacks were evident on campus when more students began to shun the pro- cessed sugar found in many sweety snacks. sophomores - 157
