THIS HAS been an eventful year. Successfully the sophomores have launched a wonderful high school career. Certainly they have proven that in the next two years L.H.S. may expect great things from its graduating class of 1962. A high school was once compared to a sandwich. The sophomores and seniors were the bread, but the juniors were, and are. the filling—the real meat of the sandwich. The juniors have indeed mani- fested their capabilities in each project undertaken. Underclassmen you were but you will soon be seniors. BEFORE. AN EMPTY GYM. an ugly pole, an unsightly basket are things which seem almost impossible to convert into a dreamy setting for the first dance of the year. Underclassmen TENSION MOUNTS as candidates for each of the sophomore class offices await their turn to speak. It’s so much easier to write a speech than to deliver it, seems to be the common thought among these nervous sopho- mores. The election of sophomore class officers is usually delayed until November to give the classmates a chance to get acquainted. Underclassmen Important at L.H.S. 241

Flying L Classes of ’61 and ’62 UNDERCLASSMEN ARE often teased and stepped-on. but really are a great part of school life. Being a majority in number, their contribu- tions are many. The underclassmen present dances, a play, and participate in school functions by having offices in their class and in student council. The sophomores and juniors go through the period of “growing pains” to form a tight, well- organized class, of which they and others can be proud. Yes, a salute to the underclassmen is necessary. BOB-A-LOO! The most popular object produced in the shop classes this year seemed to be bongo drums. Harry Polliam is making these drums. Underclassmen HERE’S TO YOU, Alma Mater sings the entire student body at a pep assembly. This song sinks deep into the hearts of all Flying L's. School spirit is something that is precisely valued at Ft. Lauderdale High. Sophomores, juniors and seniors together pprtray their spirit in song. 243
