ANTICIPATION . . These sophomores are checking out the competi- tion as the seniors file in and take their place. We’ve Got Spirit Yes, We Do Here we are today with 1-2-3 sports, coming to you live from the Magnet High School gym. Today, we have a most outrageous new sport called “Spirit Assembly.” Last assembly, the senior class swept away ali the underclassmen, but as I sit here and watch the students file into the gym and separate into t heir categories, it looks like a mighty stiff competition is ahead. For the last three months, the sophomores have been preparing at their winter training camp to conquer the seniors once and for all. Can they do it? Or will the seniors triumph again? Oh my gosh, the noise, it must be 250 decibels in here. Everyone is screaming, stomping, jumping up and down, waving flags — it’s crazy! This crowd is CRAZY! If the contest was based on noise, the seniors would get it for sure, but the sophomores appear to have more red and white attire than the upperclassmen. The decision is being made, the judges are deciding now. Who will win? They all have spirit, but the sophomores seem to really put forth more effort than anyone. Then again, the juniors are pretty close. The winner is ready to be announced. THE SOPHOMORES HAVE DONE IT!! The crowd goes wild! Excitement is filling the air. This is GREAT! Look at the seniors theyYe walking outside hanging their heads. It’s the agony of defeat. Well, this has been a 1-2-3 sports production. We’ll see you again next fall for the ever-growing popular sport — “Spirit Assemblies.” This is Howard Cosell signing off.

NO PLATES HERE! With purses occupying space usually used for trays, Sophomores Jennifer Mulford, Melissa Echterhoff, Summer Eubanks, and Ra- chel Holy enjoy brown-bagging it cafeteria style. It’s A Great Life! Freshmen. Traditionally the most miserable class in the school, simultaneously tortured and ne- glected. But that all changes when the sophomore year rolls around. Or does it? “Not being a freshman is just swell”, commented David Dixon. “That’s putting it lightly!” Some may not have been as overjoyed at becoming upperclassmen but they were relieved to escape those infa- mous nicknames. You know the ones- “fish”, “freshie , and (dare we say it?) “fresh meat”. As Ra- chel Holy put it, “Being a sopho¬ more isn’t that different, but you definitely don’t feel picked on any- more. ’ “Well, classes are harder and everythings more complex says Sherry Robinson, explaining that common ailment, the sophomore slump. The school year did bring a more exciting social scene to soph¬ omores, maybe because with this magical age comes the all-impor- tant driver’s license. Mare Glazer had no troubie summing up the difference between his first and second years here. “Driving.” said he, “Definitely driving. ’ Some sophomores had little opinion on their first step up the classification totem-pole. They agreed with Danette Griffin. “It’s just another year closer to gradu- ation.’’ was her feeling. Then there are those like David Dixon, who, after much thought, grinned, “Well, what can I say? It’s a wonderful life. But perhaps Rusty Hazelwood said it best. “Not being a freshman means never having to say you’re sorry.” Dona Cragar Timothy Cowthorn Shannon Cowart Elizabeth Coughlin Tracy Corr Lisa Corley Michael Copelin Christopher Conger Siegfried Coleman Christina Cole James Ciaravella Maria Caston Christopher Case io Caroline Carter Paul Carroll Claudia Canales Adam Cameron Tara Callicoatte Grant Burrous Shea Burns Tara Bruce SOPHOMORES
