WISE FOOLS WORK AND LEARN They had good times and bad times, fun times and sad times. Sometimes, they were hyperactive. They were in- volved in every activity. They served at all possible banquets. They were constantly talking. They always enjoyed themselves. Who are ' 'they ? They are the 1978 Sophomore Class members. Many individuals spent their energy building up their strength and stamina in various athletic events. There were eleven sophomores on different varsity teams, and still more played on junior varsity squads. The sophomore volleyball teams put together their best efforts, but always came up on the short end with second place ribbons Everyone's exertion was rewarded in some form. A few earned their way to state tournaments and others gained knowledge through experience. Some members were more concerned with the intellectual area of activities, and because of this concern, they joined Speech Club. Many sophomores were individual standouts in speech. The tenth graders established goals in this activity and set out to achieve them. Fortunately, if they did not master these goals, they had two years left to conquer them. Not only were the sophomores involved in activities, but they had more responsibility than previous years. Several were elected as officers of clubs. Serving at the athletic banquet, the speech club banquet, and the prom were a few of the tedious chores placed upon this class. Many were chosen to be Pioneer Patrol members. These persons had to work at all athletic events, be at almost every event throughout the school year, and exert effort while others ' 'sat back and relaxed.'' Through all of the tasks, the sophomores began to gain respect. As well as having responsibilities to others the tenth graders owed time and effort to their classmates. Money was always on the minds of the ' 'Scrooges'' of the class, so each person was ac- countable for helping earn funds. The flapjack breakfast was a flop, the carnival produced a small sum, and class dues increased our account. No matter how much money the event manufactured, the members were always wanting more and continued working diligently to obtain an extra amount. Even with all of these duties, the ' 'wise fools'' found time for school. They were faced with a larger selection of courses than they had ever had before. French-speak- ing sophomores roamed the halls. The geometry room echoed with, ' 'Do you understand this? '' There was motivation in physical education because it was the last year for the exhausting class. Each subject passed brought each individual one step closer to that far-off dream- - graduation. Now' when you are asked, ' 'What class always took second in volleyball tournaments?''; ' 'Who were those kids that were so money-hungry ?''; or ' 'Now, what group filled the halls with fluent French?' ; you can answer simply, ' 'The 1978 sophomores!
