nother Phase Frosh work their way up; sophs shoot for stardom High school is not only a learning experience, but it is also a social one of sorts. While students efforts may seem to be concentrated on grades, on clubs, and on sports, they undergo per¬ sonality changes in high school which shape the type of person they will later be in their lives. The changes that occur between these years are influenced by peers, parents, and by the type of individuals students already are. A freshman may still spend many minutes of each class writing notes to secret friends or designing paper airplanes to show to their friends. The freshman have not yet been fully in¬ corporated into the daily routines of high school life. They tend to huddle togeth¬ er in their own short, friend¬ ly groups in the cafeteria. Freshmen still stand in awe of the rest of the student body. They don ' t join as many clubs or sports their first year as they may later on during their high school career. But everyone under¬ stands this because every¬ one remembers what it was like to be a freshman. Lock¬ ers were often taller than the student. Beating the tar¬ dy bell for every class was also a major accomplish¬ ment. While freshman students are still trying to function in their new surroundings, the more experienced sopho¬ mores have begun to get into the regular school rou¬ tine. They are no longer typical freshmen, but they are now the candidates to re¬ present the school in years to come. They will become the presidents of the clubs, the players on the courts, and the participants in school dances. The second year of high school is the time for decision making and for soul searching. Sophomores decide who they will associate and hang out with. They decide which contests to join and which clubs they will repre¬ sent. They decide which sport they will sweat it out in. Sophomores tend to be the workers of the school. They yearn to become the school ' s future stars. RELAXING BETWEEN CLASSES, junior Sam Anello reads a note from a friend.
