The Hull We begin our sailboat by building the hull. The hull or frame of a ship furnishes buoyancy and supports the other parts of the boat. We, the student body at Minnetonka, form the hull of our ship, “MHS”. The decisions we make and how strong we are directly affect the rudder (academics), main sail (sports), jib (organizations), and the mast (student life) of “MHS”. We decide which clubs to join, which sports to support and which subjects to take. All our actions, whether major or minor, affect our school in some way. Students are the basis of our school. Just as a sailboat could not remain afloat without its hull, our school could not function without its students. PAGE 6: 1: Courtney Work grins.

A Sophomore is defined as being a person in his second year of high school; a lower classman. At Minnetonka, a tenth grader was only in his first year, definitely considered a lower classman. “It’s like getting a swirly every day of your life.” said Paul Stiller, half seriously and half jokingly. ‘‘Being a sophomore is like being cut down from the race.” he added. Julie Flaskerud went right to the [joint, “It's the pits! It's boring and I hate being the youngest!” Being a sophomore at MHS is even worse when you have an older brother or sister. “It’s like being a fine young fawn nibbling on clovers and grass, when all of a sudden, you choke on a hunk of slug, and die.” Tim Prague wittily contributed. Dave Lund even made up a limerick: “There once was a sophomore who stated; Seniors are cloned, not created. The senior class after his-------, and now his body is deflated. Being a sophomore is not bad. Renae Olson said. “It’s fun, meet all kinds of people and there are a lot of clubs for every interest imaginable offered. Diane Wakefield was a little lukewarm about the good reasons for being a tenth grader, but she added. At least it’s better than being in Junior High. “The only good thing, Michele Milstead said, is that you can't be blamed for anything. You’re sup-jjosed to be a ‘dumb’ Sophomore ’ All in all, everyone agreed that they couldn’t wait until next year when they could pick on SOPHOMORES!
