SOPHOMORES Spouted Sophouwiei Meek and timid . . . Isn't that the way underclassmen have customarily been? This sophomore class was never quite like that, just ask their teachers. Although they were considered to be an unspirited class, they certainly proved everyone wrong when it came to cheering at pep-assemblies. One assembly in particular was the one held to promote Homecoming '86. Although they sat semi-quietly throughout the beginning of the assembly, the sophomores roared when it was their turn to cheer and shout. To everyone's surprise, they showed enough spirit to win the cheering competition at the assembly. One, unsuccessful attempt for the sophomores, though, was the float competition. Although they worked long and hard, as shown here, they just couldn't win. The sophomores have two years to go in high school and they hope to keep enthusiasm high to keep winning. For now, though, they're known as the Spirited Sophomores! Lisa Cisncios Robert Cisneros Brian Cueto Melissa Diaz 10 Sophomores
