Sophomores Sophomores hold a position of security. Theirs is a very safe world: one year of experi- ence, two years until freedom. It is this very status that dictates their energetic behavior as a class. They have the strength to withstand what can, academically, be the most demanding high school grade, and at the same time, participate socially in activities which are not just ‘‘tradition- | al,’’ but important. The only remaining comment: to dispel the myth that the term “‘Sophomore”’ denotes one who is “‘immaturely pretentious.’’ Perhaps the definition should read: ‘“‘pretentious — with good reason.”’ 104
