C)n(j 360 daiji of icloof! Sophs accept growing responsibilities mm Just 360 days of school left! “Can we cram all the things we want to do into 360 days? ponder some sophomores. Proms, trips to New York and Washington, career days, college visits, football games, dances, cake sales, Welfare drives, elections, and what seems like a never ending stream of other events—all these into such a short span of time? In somber moments. Sophs realize that the important question which they will have to answer will be, “Shall we be ready to lace adult challenges in just about one year oi actual school- ing?” Though they are proud of their accom- plishments in both academic anti extra-curricular activities, they realize how much they have been helped by upperclassmen. Soon they will take over the reins of control in the high school. Then, too, as new juniors they will be confronted with an intensive program of finding the career which suits each of them best. How will they face these problems? Sophomores have only 2160 more hours to build a reservoir of knowledge in history and world affairs, math and science, cultural sub- jects, and the commercial studies which will prepare them for meeting life on their own. ill they be prepared to earn their own living or to enter the college of their choice? Will they be ready for leadership? Only the next two years will tell. B. Gohn explains the P. 1. A. A. Play-off chart to Barth, K. Kinkel, G. Gentile. A. f stick. K. Kdmis- ton, and L. I.coin

During this year freshmen struggled through the first of four years of preparation for life on their own. By holding responsible positions on junior high Student Council, and bv able partici- pation in all school events, they have sampled he happiness that unselfish service and hard- arned prestige can bring. This class of '58 proved their capability by holding highest hon- ors in academic and extra-curricular activities. With serious application and continued im- provement corresponding to present perform- ance, the Frosh can look forward to the thrilling challenges which only three more years hold. Kagerlv the freshmen await the “great expecta- tions” that can become reality in only 540 short days. 10
