L-idsauudi When the new students, known as freshman, came into the school building, academically they were timid, meek, and full of reservations. Therefore they became easily influenced by those who were veterans”. When they entered into the new surroundings, many were totally tongue-tied and dumbfounded. Cindy Lampe said, I was in complete awe of everyone around me. I was terrified that I would do something wrong and embarrassing. They were not completely sure of the way they should act, and inadvertantly looked to those veterans for the definition of the proper etiquette. “I feel that I was better able to fit into high school because I have an older brother who is in high school. In that way I could hang out with him and his friends and learn how to get along in high school, said Steve Knaup. The freshmen virtually could not fathom what would be in store for them and tried their hardest to fit in while being inconspicuous. Most of these observances were rewarded greatly because the freshman were soon able to fit into the swing of things. Audra Schulenberg said, I found that it was fairly easy to fit in at high school. For me it was something I already knew pretty much about since I already had two brothers who graduated. However, sometimes someone took longer to adjust and blend into the academic scene. But when it came right down to it, the freshman really and truly enjoyed their new and challenging adventure in the academic world.

 Sophomores begin their second year “I knew that I wouldn’t get as much static from everyone this year.” -Cherie Hahn- Sophomores began the first day of school full of questions. What will my second year be like? Will I be able to choose my own classes? Do I get to look down on the freshmen this year? Will I be able to play on the varsity teams? On her first impression of her sophomore year, Cherie Hahn said, I felt a lot more at ease with all the kids and teachers. I knew there wasn't anything to be scared of this year. It was a great relief to know that the pressure of my freshman year was off.'' Cherie added, I knew that I wouldn't get as much static from everyone this year.” On the other hand, Ann Huppert was looking ahead to her sixteenth birthday. She said, My first impression was that I was actually going to be a sophomore and because I knew I would be able to get my driver's license this year.” There were many things to make the sophomore year different from the freshman year. There were more classes to choose from, fewer required classes, and more feelings of power. Jason Merz said, “This year has been a lot funner because I’m no longer one of the youngest people in the school. Another big change for the sophomores was the chance for those involved in athletics to participate in varsity competition. Mary Beth Pierson said, You have to work a lot harder, and work your way up to playing more. Last year everyone got to play every game, but this year volleyball was tougher and more exciting, especially playing with the varsity.” Rick Adams Vickie Allen Tiffany Anderson kerry Bahr Scott Barber Susan Becker Paula Bemtz Bridgette Birdsell Karen Bokelman Rick Bradley Dawn Bray Blake Buckminster Christy Butner Josh Caverzagie Kim Chandler Dan Clark Vicky Clark Wendy Clark mores
