Clapping hands with music, sophomores Scott Smith, Jimmy Jackson, and Rhonda Forrest join the fun in the Air Force band concert. Bending to scrutinize a partially dissected earthworm, sophomores Jennifer Schertz and Jana Keen work in a biology class. Sophomores? Are they really, truly people too? Are sophomores as great as they seem? ls it possible to prove it with an article com- posed entirely of interrogatory sentences? How many of Haltom's students even remember what an interrogatory sentence is? What Haltom High football team won district? Could it have been the junior varsi- ty? Didn't that team consist mostly of sophomores? Didn't they have to beat Richland's junior varsity to win district? Isn't that wonderful? Aren't sophomores known for their par- ties? How many people have been to a sophomore's party at Casino Beach? How many people who went to a sophomore's party at Casino Beach could remember the party afterward? Not many, huh? Must have been some good parties, right? At the very least, aren't sophomores perfect for menial chores? Who always gets stuck with the things that the seniors and juniors are too smart to do? Couldn't it be that the upperclassmen just think that but it's really in their imaginations? After all, who has the largest Honors English class? Wasn't it a sophomore who made the All- State Choir? What about all the sophomore band students that made a first division on a class one solo? Doesnlt it seem as though there are sophomores everywhere? Could it be because there are more sophomores than any other class? How many people know that there are 455 sophomores? Would that mean the sophomores have the greatest influence in the school elections? What would happen if the sophomores united? Is it possible that the sophomores could take over the school? Why not?

When the tardy bell rang two minutes early, an algebra assignment disappeared, and the history teacher chewed out everyone in the class - all before lunch? After a day like that, several students liked to work with a hobby that took their minds off matters for a while. When I get mad, I play video games. I play when I'm not mad, because it's a hob- by, but I get better scores when I'm mad, sophomore Bill Erwin revealed. Bret Bertholf, sophomore, reported how he kept 'sane - and drove others batty. I play a synthesizer because it helps me relax and I can make weird sounds that bug the dog and my mom. Besides, it's a lot of fun! Fortunately for his mother and canine pet, Bret had a quieter hobby that he enjoys. I draw a lot too. Lately I've become in- terested in Salvador Dali and H. R. Giger, surrealist artists. Some people enjoyed curling up in a com- fortable chair to read the adventures of their favorite literary heroes. After school, and even during, I like to reach Christian romances or the Bible. If I'm upset, I listen to music while I read, said Mary Lilly, sophomore, with a book in her hand as evidence of her favorite pastime. I like to read stories to escape from reali- ty, explained sophomore Carl Walker. You can crawl into a character and not come out until the end of the book. The whole world passes by youf' Rather than just read about people and adventures from far away, some people preferred role-playing games in their spare time. Sophomore Danny Stanfield, who plays Traveller, said, It's a real blast even if you don't know what you're doing! Lots of people played musical instruments such as the piano or guitar to relieve tension. However Ambre Graff, sophomore, chose a different instrument. At church, and in my spare time, I play the electric flute. It's just like a regular flute, except it has an electrical pick-up that you hook up to an amplifier and then a phase shifter to make it sound really neat. I enjoy it a lot, it helps me relax. Sophomore Kim Palms, who crocheted and hooked rugs, commented, I like to do it cause it's fun. I SOPHOMORES 1--,
