SOPHOMORES AWAIT NEW EXPERIENCES A different school creates an aura of nervousness; yet, the curiosity to explore and meet new faces is still present. Broome also allows more independence unlike the “ole junior high days”. There is not only one designated place to gather in the morning, there are a variety of areas to choose from. Sophomores may decide to meet at the canteen for a quick snack be- fore school, in the upstairs hall, or in the library; but most sophomores tend to gath- er downstairs. It is also a time to leave behind the rivalries between the schools. And old dis- agreements within the two schools and come together as a united sophomore class. The competition between the Paco- let and Cowpens students no longer exist. The traditional green and red merge to- gether to become blue and gold. Moreover, the sophomore class has many opportunities and experiences await- ing it at Broome. The degree to which each sophomore is involved depends upon the individual. The sophomores will never for- get their first day in high school, their first pep rally, their first homecoming dance, and their first test. It is then that they realize that their high school days will be a time for laughter, tears, confusion, under- standing, change and fun, but also respon- sibility. It takes a while to get into the hang of high school, but the sophomores stuck in there and realized that being a sophomore is not so bad after all.

CLASS ELECTIONS ARE FIRST ITEM ON AGENDA When the sophomores arrived to begin their new school life, the first undertaking was to elect officers to represent this new and upcoming class. The students who felt that they could handle the responsibility of holding the position could sign up. There were many offices to choose from. The power hungry could go all the way for President while the less aspiring could settle for Vice-President. Secretary- and-Treasurer are combined into one and the Executive Council consists of two open spaces that need to be filled. Then the campaign week began. Elec- tion posters filled the walls along with but- tons worn by supporters for their favorite candidate, they also gave out candy to win support. Then came the preparation of speeches, which the candidates realized should be original and also appeal to the entire sophomore class. As the election as- sembly approached, one could feel the ner- vousness present in the candidates. The speeches were presented in order of office. The audience giggled as the clever and sometimes hilarious speeches were read. The votes were cast on paper ballots while last minute shouts of “Vote for Me could be heard in the background. The tension builds before the announcement of the winners. After the candidates were de- clared, holders of the offices then realized that their responsibility had just begun.
