UNDERCLASSMEN!!— what would we do without them ? Although there are no more Walton’s lunch pails, big ice-cream cone grins minus 2 front teeth, or matchbox cars and football card collections (that they would admit to), Auburn Academy underclass¬ men have their own unique characteristics. Now, sporting tin grins and wearing the scent of Clearasil, they make up three elite groups; all different, yet united together under that same discriptive title—UNDERCLASSMEN!! “I was scared to death when I first came here, but now I’ve met a lot of people and made many new friends,” states Freshman Kevin Lambeth. At the beginning of the year, it is traditional to see the Freshmen intently studying class schedules and rushing frantically to that first imposing class. Throughout the year, ho wever, we can see their increasing confidence and ability to fit in. The Sophomores seem to possess an added self-assurance and show more responsi¬ bility. ‘‘When I came to Auburn last year,” Jeff Morris said, “it seemed huge. But now that I know so many people, it just seems like family.” The class was no longer lowest on the totem pole. They now had one year behind them. They began to take their studies seriously. Juniors, the ‘‘upper underclassmen” had finally arrived! They looked forward to a busy year—and a challenging one. They studied harder, worked harder, played harder. They knew they had grown—both intellectually and socially. They planned for ban¬ quets, picnics, and graduation. In one way or another, each class made an important contributation to our school, for every individual contributed to the BEAT of tomorrow. —R. Sohn

Too hot to beat! Sitting in an officers meeting in the cafe, an endless list of places to hold the Jr Sr Ban¬ quet raced through their minds. A pencil poke in the side interrupted Andre Wang at 23 — Pizza Hut. The boss, Heidi Fritz, whis¬ pered a new idea in his ear. The idea rapidly spread around the weekly meeting table; low, tense discussion erupted. “Is it feasi¬ ble?” They all agreed it was. The six of them got their lists of places to call and the meeting adjourned. After visiting and viewing five possible locations—and what seemed like a million phone calls later—reality set in. “How many will they hold?” “How much will it cost?” “Will they have enough food for all of us?” “Are there any cockroaches?” The officers and sponsors met and re¬ viewed the possibilities approximately 8,000 additional times. April 2, 1989 had been per¬ manently beat into their memory. It was the beginning of November and they were still looking! The time, agony and frustration put into this process was beyond words; but working together as a team, planning and organizing events for their class, and success¬ fully carrying those plans to completion was the job they had been elected to do as offi¬ cers. The pressure was on. The die was cut; they were proved in the fire of high expecta¬ tion. As officers, they served their class well; as Juniors, they were certainly too hot to beat! —A.
