Wonder, Discovery Filled Sophomore World By Martha Stebbins The sophomore year was one of wonder and discovery when we pondered whether it was we who were changing or the world around us. Everyday things took on a new perspective and became increasingly important to us with each rapidly passing day. The time came when we realized the significance of what we learned, not as a letter grade, but as a prep¬ aration for what is yet to come. Many different activities filled our busy year and we learned to grow to meet the chal¬ lenge that each activity presented. New teaching methods such as the use of television in world history classes and ad¬ vanced courses in math stimulated our in¬ terests and abilities. In addition, clubs offered a wide variety of programs which helped to round out our school activities. Sports played a big part in the tenth grader ' s world. Whether as team members, cheerleaders or eager spectators, everyone benefited from practicing good sportsmanship. As always there was the competition of elections, the fun of assemblies, the dread of report cards and the happy anticipation of well-earned holidays. Not only did we develop in knowledge and skills, more important than this, we learned about ourselves. We set our sights for the fu¬ ture and took the beginning steps toward our ultimate goals.
