l S fe Opho o ND S S Sophs learn fast Getting lost a learning experience Do you remember your first day of high school? All the funny looks people gave you? Picture this. The first day of school and everything was going smoothly. You went to what appeared to be your first period class. The tardy bell rang and the teacher began to call roll. She called everyone's name but yours. Suddenly you realized you must be in the wrong class. You strolled casually to the teacher's desk trying not to let anyone know that you were lost, but everyone knew. Many students went to the wrong classes the first day. I went to the wrong class twice, Kaye Wheat said. I felt stupid asking the seniors where to go, Pam Hopper said. But what about the seniors? How did they feel? It reminded me of when I was a sophomore, so I was willing to help, Ronda Smith said. After lunch was planned, students took off. Out the door they went to the local fast food services with hopes of getting back on time. But these hopes were soon dissolved. You made it back to school tardy and still had to find your class. When you finally made it to the class, the teacher gave you a stare you would never forget. The teacher then wanted to know where you were. Then the excuses came. Well, uh, I couldn't find the class, or My car died and wouldn't start, so I had to catch a ride with a friend. As the first day of high school came slowly to an end, the day's events were stamped into sophomore minds so that everyone around could hear just what happened that made their first day one of the most memorable days of a high school career.

Many took their test only once, while others took theirs two, three, and even four times. Students blamed their failures on many different things. Sometimes a failure to communicate was blamed. I had a Mexican trooper and I couldn't understand him, Sonya McNeely said. Other times, a mechanical problem was blamed. The car wouldn't start or the seat was too far back. My hubcaps fell off and l had to go back and get them, laughed Teresa Smith. Outside forces were blamed, too. l almost hit a dog, Kelly Cox said. Not everyone had these pro- blems, however. Sometimes the weather was bad or a trooper was in a bad mood. Through all these trials sophomores rose to the occasion and managed to pass their test. The experiences were scary and embarrassing at first, but they gave those who experienced them a valuable lesson. A lot of memories were made that gave sophomores the strength to keep on truckin'.
