The part which they dread most is the ini- tiation, funny, too. Sophomore. After you have grown up a little yo.u began to recognize yourself as a high school student. You strut around and make others believe you are seniors. Why not? That's the question. Some of the greenness has worn off by this time and you are not afraid to answer the questions the teacher asks you. You have really become a high school student. Oh yes, and you have got your first suit with long pants. Juniors. This is the most trying year. Remember those credits you lost while a freshman or sophomore? You must work to get them back again or you are out of luck. When a party strolls around you are always left behind. You had your good times while in the sophomore class and now you have to work for all that is in you. The main events which you can look to are the J hop and the Junior banquet.

whole year seems filled withfamusement. At the end of the term, when commencement draws near, you feel that sense of lonely- ness creep over you as you think of leaving those classmates who you have been with through the four years spent in high school.
