There are new experiences of pep assemblies, library slips and moving from class to class for the eighth graders. Freshmen, veterans of one year, appear a little more sure of themselves and begin to take on added responsibilities. For the Sophomores, more activities in athletics, debating and leadership give them added poise and recognition.

They fulfill these responsibilities in projects such as the magzine drive and the Junior-Senior Prom.
