Sophomores warm to new tradition Sweltering heat promised to mark the be- ginning of the school year as returning stu- dents gathered in the outdoor theatre to welcome the class of ' 86. Assembled in the early moring sunlight amidst a general hubbub of anticipation, juniors and seniors prided themselves for having the foresight to don lightweight shorts and T-shirts. Others, unaware of the weatherman ' s warning of one hundred degree tempera- ture, began to regret their decision to show off that new wardrobe of bulky sweater, cords, and oxfords. However attired for the first day of school, everyone focused on the first day depicted on stage. True to tradition, the ASB Cabinet gave their interpretation of a sophomore ' s transi- tion from childhood to adulthood. The audience roared as pajrs of cabinet members joined to create a single sopho- more grooming himself for school. Mixing the arms of one body with the face of an- other made for hilarious scenes of shaving, hair styling and eating. While the skit em- phasized the sophomores ' inexperience, it was done in good humor. The skit is tradi- tion; it doesn ' t hurt them (the sophomores). It ' s all in fun, said Commissioner of School Spirit Kristen Bjorklund. And indeed, it was taken in fun. I thought the skit was funny and creative, said sophomore Chris Garcia. It didn ' t bother me. I just laughed and had a good time, he added. Also on hand to welcome the sophomores were the various pep groups. Cheerleading squads, mascots, the drill team and the band entertained with new routines that of- fered an introduction to a day of renewing friendships and finding classrooms. — SP Watching the opening day assembly with interest is senior Lisa Tackett (left).
