Faces Section Unde rclassmen Experience New Ideas mderclassman — n, pi under- classmen (under + class, n. + man): a member of the freshman or soph- omore class in a college or secondary school. Each year a new class of students come through the front doors of this school to experience what more than 3000 students have experienced during the past 19 years — the first day Jitters. From that point until the day they graduate, they will collect a picturebook full of memories. As the first dance of the year takes place shortly after school begins, many students find themselves going out on a date for the first time The year advances quickly and everyone becomes involved with a peer group in one way or another — whether it be through a club, cheering at sports events, or even through a classroom activity. Juniors find them- selves being placed in a role of manager as they organize the Prom. These three years of school give each person the ability to learn about himself, but even more than this, it helps students to take a good look into their futures. 86 Faces Division

Juniors have two years advantage What ' s the definition of a Junior? A foirly large, socially promin- ent individual, in his third year at school, strutting down the hall, crack- ing smart jokes. This is the definition composed by Juniors Rondo Bowden and Brent Lewis, After two years of practice, dealing with high school was much easier for the juniors. This created many advantages, according to Lewis. They ' d already gone through meeting new teachers and friends, assemblies, career education, and the basic school procedures. Another advantage, Bowden said, was that they had more time than the seniors to think things out when deciding where to go to college, Juniors also had more of a chance to do things they wanted to do than the under- classmen. Being able to show leadership was on important characteristic to have, according to Bowden. The upper- classmen hove the weight of respon- sibility on their shoulders. Juniors were able to show leadership through clubs like FCA, FBLA, DECA, National Honor Society, sports, and music. One of Lewis ' goals was that, as a junior, he felt he could set examples for the underclassmen, This is a year to get the underclassmen ready to accept us as seniors, Class Representatives President Rondo Bowden Vice-President Korleen Knuth Treasurer Michelle Mitchell Secretary Heidi McGlynn Student Council members Marcey Wait Brandie Sheffield Glenn Mottingly Chris Eberhardt 88 Juniors Kelly Aden Bob Albright Brian Anders John Arp Scott Baird Robert Barlow Randy Beckman Barbie Behring Rolley Bennett Scott Berggren Lori Beyer Angel Birkes Julie Boltz Lisa Boltz Lisa Borgmonn Rondo Bowden Rondo Brennick Doyle Brockman Deb Brown Cheri Bruns Tammie Bulin
