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

Watch out, motorists! Now is the time to use your sharpest driving skills. For coming down the very Street you are traveling is that all- too-familiar car marked rather conspicuously STUDENT DRIVER. Chances are that behind the wheel of the automobile sits a sophomore who, before he can finally acquire that long-awaited driveFs license, has to partake of the joys, troubles, and occasional boredom of driver ' s education. Taught by our own Mr. Scott, tenth graders like Tetine Sentell did not mind the forty-five after school hours required to, as she put it, “finally, finally, have a chance at passing that driver ' s Tamara Brown Lashunda Brown Jason Brown Sheumona Brown Andrea Brinkley Jason Bratlie Kelisha Bradford Caria Boston Thomas Boose Diana Boos Eldred Blossom Kristopher Berry Lori Beggs Sherry Beck Jamie Beason Amy Beal Somer Beach Daniel Bartley Allison Barnett Lamonthe Barrett Angela Bernard Trinna Ashley Kimberly Anderson Douglas Albert Keith Adams test.” A three-part course, everyone had their favorite segment. Tarsha Henry’s was the simulator, commonly known as the “Stimulator,” while Patrick Ratcliff enjoyed the actual driving lab. Jason Brown already had his license when he took THE BIG D.E. his reason, then? He summed it up in four words — Big Discount on Insurance,” he explained, “and since I’m paying for it myself, that discount really helps.” Whatever their reasons, sophomores took driver’s ed- and for the most part, passed with flving colors.
