It ' s Getting Better All the Time The Beatles Sophomore year is an important yean. After a year of learning the ropes and testing the ground, Sophomores are ready to get involved. You establish yourselves as a part of the high school. You have always been a pant of high school, but now you will become more active. You are no ongen the babies of the school. You know your way around and you should know what to expect. The big part of Sophomore year is receiving class rings. This makes you feel like a more intimate part of the high school. You are also one step closer to graduating, and you feel, It ' s Getting Better All the Time. B.S.

I Guess That ' s Why They Call It The Blues Freshman year can only be summed up in the title song by Elton John. The first year at Methuen High for many students is an adjustment period. Freshmen have to adjust to open classrooms, the layout of the building, the six day schedule, and being on the bottom rung of the ladder. By the end of October most of the freshmen have become lost at least twice and at least half of the freshmen who take a science have shown up late to a lab with a pass from their study teacher. Why? They forgot that they had lab on Day B! It ' s awfully hard to believe that we, the graduating class, were once as vague and immature as today ' s freshmen. It ' s even harder to believe that only three years ago we were the freshmen! M.B. Eicon John

One Thing Leads To Another The Junior yean is probably the best year during high school because many changes are experienced. You are now identified as an upperclassman — which means no more being pushed around by the Seniors. You start to get the feeling of maturity and responsibility. During the junior year, you go for your driver ' s license and hopefully pass the test; no more worrying about who is going to give you a ride. One thing every junior worries about is taking the SAT ' s. Most of the time everyone takes them more than once. One of the biggest events of junior year is the Junior Prom. Everyone is running around looking for gowns and suits at the last minute, wanting everything to be just right. It is a very important semi-formal dinner dance. As the end of the junior year approaches, the juniors are looking forward to the summer and finally their last year of high school. J.Z. The Fixx
