Sophomore Sophomore Views The tenth graders interviewed said the BST was only a common sense test. Roni Sullivan, 10-13, said, All in all I think that the BST was an overall good test that the Public School system administered. And the class of ' 85 ' s test scores should encourage others to strive higher. Jonathan Aaron, 10-1 said, The BST is a good test for us to take, because some of the stu- dents have forgotten the Basics, and they need to be reminded that they ' re going to have to know them, nat only to graduate, but to function in the outside world. Phoebe Smith — 10-12 said, When I found out that I had to take the BST, I was very ner- vous. She felt that most of her classmates felt the way she did.

Sophomores Being a sophomore not only nneant that you were in the tenth grade, it also meant that you had two more years until you could sit on the floor of the boy ' s gym- nasium, and one more year until you ordered class rings. But be- ing a sophomore also meant more than those material things that seemed so important to us. It also meant that you were a year older and a bit more ma- ture. You were given greater re- sponsibilities, and you were ex- pected to carry them out to the best of your abilities. You were expected to be well behaved without supervision. You were given more and better opportuni- ties to improve your attitude to- ward life. So, being a sophomore prepared you to go to another grade and it prepared you to be- come a better person.
