Sophomores Challenge is the word that sophomores used to describe the graduation requirements they had to complete. One of these require- ments is the Basic Skills Test (BST). Clifford Strong, president of the Sophomore Class, said that the un- derclassmen were more privileged than the upperclassmen because they were taking this test. By Tak- ing this test, He said we are able to increase our academic level in test taking. He felt that the test was very easy and that a high per- centage of his tenth grade class- mates would pass. He also said, This test is actually preparing us for college because, college will not teach us the basics. We will have to know them when we get there.
