Watch Us Gro In the beginning of our high school years we are just beginning to grow. Young guys and girls grow and mature into responsible students and reach new heights. We asked several sophomores questions which reflect their opinions on different subjects. Over the course of our high school years, we will no doubt change our opinions, so we might do another survey to see how much the class of '90 change our opinions. The following questions were asked of approximately 125 sophomores: Do you think parents really understand the pressures you are under'? , Do you think the free lunch system is a good idea'? , Do you think most students deserve their grades'?,' Seventy-eight percent of these stu- Always Talking . , .

It is a good idea, but students shouldn't abuse it. Concerning grades, sixty percent said that students don't deserve the grades they get, that there are flaws in the academic system and the grading system is too harsh. Eighty-five percent say parents don't understand the pressure we go through, there is a generation gap and that ado- lescence is hard for both parents and teenagers. Over the next three years we will probably change our responses to these questions, so stay tuned for next year's installment of Watch Us Grow.

Get out of my way, Sophomore, move it or lose it . . Everyday we go through the same routine. A new school means new things. All the rules have been changed on us, just when we were getting used to the old ones. The people in high school are more observant oi' the way we dress. We must now carry l.D. cards. We have to go through an initiation to get into a club. We are promptly and unceremo- niously escorted away when we try to sit in the Senior Deck. There are new stu- dents, new teachers, new books - but there are some things we can always count on to stay the same. We, as students, have always tried to mislead our teachers when we don't have an assignment or when we're late for their class. The teachers are never fooled: they tried the same things with their high school teachers. Another ageless event is when we try to go to our lockers and a group of Seniors is stand- ing in the way. We can't exactly tell them to move it or lose it, since there's maybe a one-in-a-million chance that they'll actually move or we'll actu- ally carry out our threat. Everyone thinks their class is the best. Of course, when Sophomores start yelling 90 at pep rallies, we hear from upperclassmen their exact feelings for us. We don't mind, for two reasons. Firstly. we'll do the same thing in our Senior year. Secondly, as Sophomores, we form a special bond that the other classes don't really have. Meeting new people, we are mostly unsure of how we will get along with them. We are thrown together by cir- cumstance, united by the fact that we are Sophomores and generally terror- ized by upperclassmen. We start to trust one another, forming a unique bond that doesn't exist in the higher classes. We have a lot to do and learn, but we're getting there. Though there are many changes, not all for the better, there are many things we will always be able to depend on. Friends Forever .. .
