TO DISCOVER The first step of our education has been completed. Grammar school has prepared us for the advanced training we will now receive. We are eager to meet different people, to delve into subjects hitherto unknown to us, and to experience that special sense of belonging that comes from being a member of an organized body. Yet we are still a little hesitant and afraid. We are forging into the darkness. We are taking one more step in the path of life, and we have little or no idea of what lies before us. We arc as yet single individuals; we think in terms of I rather than we.” We have not yet become a unified body, a class. This is our goal. First, however, we must learn about our new environment. We must discover new areas of interest, discover new buildings and new classrooms, and discover new friends. Our high school success, mirror of life, will be determined by the way in which we face the challenge now being presented.

SOPHOMORE CLASS Left to right: Victor Cordova, President; Roberta Andrews, Secretary; Gail Backes, Treasurer; Leroy Kearns, Vice-President. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS The sophomore class, acting for the first time as a unified body, elects four of its most capable members to serve as officers. These students are given their first chance to exemplify the quality of leadership, so important to future success. Once chosen, these officials preside over class meetings, handle the money of the class, and record the minutes of each meeting. This year's sophomores have elected as leaders Victor Cordova, president; Leroy Kearns, vice-president; Roberta Andrews, secretary, and Gail Backes, treasurer. First row, left to right: Linda Geremia, Kathleen Orlando, Renee Dubois, Jane Bemont, Laurie Jennings, Elizabeth Curtis, Merla Calabrese, Donna Tremper, Barbara Kusak, Barbara Sabo, Carol Mascia. Second row: Glenn Bland, Richard Olson, Robert Gustafson, Leroy Kearns, Calvin Robinson, Bruce Hartman, Paul Smith, Thomas Mansfield, John Semreau, Matthew Furman. SOPHOMORE REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL The election of officers alone fails to unify the diversified elements of the class into a compact whole. To assist in this difficult task, sophomores elect representatives, much as we elect senators or congressmen. The elected students constitute the Sophomore Rep-20 resentative Council. It is the expressed job of the Council to act as interpreter between the officers and the class. They are given a chance to express their views concerning their class rings, dues, and act as a steering committee for the Sophomore Dance. Leaders of the future are given a chance to demonstrate their capabilities as they strive to mold the beginnings of unity and strength into the new class.
