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.
