Class President Alex Armatas. This was what the sopho- more class officers were focused on: bringing the students closer together and getting them involved in school activities. One way to bring them together was a class retreat. The retreat, held on March 14 and 15, seemed to help everyone work towards common goals. By spending a couple days to- gether, the sophomores had a chance to form bonds that could last through- out the rest of high school. The class participated in many school activities, including the Home- coming parade, Octoberfest, the toy drive for needy children, and the Winterfest dance. Helping out with school dances gives us a chance to get C 1 d l ul: .Iennifer Betst , W Qtfif Aff -,fl . Aythlijii get ,YKJJJ if sie l JU' 'wxaa Vp!

Although the officers worked hard for unity, sometimes it wasn't easy. The officers are very hard-working, very dedicated. Our goal is to try to help them get other students involved, instead of having them do all the work themselves, said the class sponsor Mrs. Pam Gregory. Vice-President Jill Pepper explained, l wanted to help people and get more involved with a school activity. As an officer in Student Council I have the means to do that. The sophomore class officers con- sisted of Alex Armatas as President, Vice-President Jill Pepper, Treasurer Brandi DeBono, Secretary Jenny Barnes, and Class Representatives Angie Gibbs and Andrea Reitz. The sponsors were Mrs. Pam Gregory and Mr. Dave Manchak. THE SOPHOMORE CLASS spent weeks planning and perfecting their lloat which is shown off in the Homecoming parade.
