Sophomore is Law Enforcement Explorer Showcase Everyone who knows sophomores Valerie Wharton says, She is just one wild and crazy gal. However, Valerie also has a more serious side. Valerie volunteers at Norton Air Force Base as a Law Enforcement Ex- plorer Her job entails secretarial receptionist work, working at the gates and patroling the base Valerie was informed about the Explorers by a friend. Working with this youth volunteer group has shown Valerie many exciting experiences, such as working at the three day US Festival as a security guard and patroling the Open House days on base The Explorers met at Security Police Headquarters every Monday to discuss different cases of crime, laws, violations, and traffic mishaps and how they could have been prevented. They also discussed upcoming events on and around the base. Once a week, the Explorers underwent a routine uniform inspection. Demerits were issued to those wearing sloppy uniforms. If a badge was forgotten, the nametag was out of place, a barret was on crooked or the uniform was not ironed, that person was penalized. When a person talked while their Commanding Officer was speaking, that individual was warned, then punished. As to the strictness of the Explorers, Valerie feels, Being in the Explorers is a fun and worthwhile experience that I will never ever forget.

Sophomores not at bottom It was their second year back and they were a little more confident about themselves. The sophomores walked into registration with a fair idea of what to do. They tried to take the responsibility of being a step above the freshmen and acted a little more mature than last year. Of course, they still giggled and ran around, but that was expected after be ing away from friends over the whole summer. The sophomores were the last class to register and so they encountered more problems than the rest of the classes. Being the last class, many of the classes they wanted to take were already taken, so this meant changing their schedules and sometimes having to take leftovers. It was just like being at the bottom of the totem pole again. Sometimes it was very exasperating, but with the help of the counselors and teachers everyone was able to get a full class schedule. Overall everything went rather smoothly. The sophomores just accepted the fact that they still had a way to go to being at the top, but at least they weren ' t at the bot- tom anymore.
