They then worked through conflict with coopera- tion, surpassed frustrtation to achieve success, building on their theme and working seemingly without fatigue. ln the end, there was naught but a sense of pride. The freshmen were represented in the parade by their float, George Washington's Cherry Tree. The 1 theme of the sophomore class float was the Founding Fathers. The ju- niors displayed their float, the Liberty Bell, which finished in second place.
