I know that you think I'm too young, but I'm a junior now and it's about. . . Life inthe Fast Lane! luniors, most of themjare I6 years old and have just taken their driving test. They were excited and relieved to finally be able to drive to school. Usually driving is the end of transportation by mom or dad and feeling more relaxed about not having to ask your friends for a ride, or not being dependent on them. In my opinion, it's hard for me to ask my friends for rides because I feel un- comfortable, replies junior, Melinda deMesa. Most of the juniors who have cars feel more indepen- dent than ever, having to drive a car to school is the beginning of trust with their parents also. juniors were finally feeling as if they were last but not least getting somewhere in life, knowing that they are maturing by tak- ing on responsibilities that they have always dreamed of having. Being so new at determining whether or not to drive here or there, pick up him or her or either, am I going to drive tonight? All these decisions are never thought of when they first get the car! Most of the choices of the teen would be am I go- ing to drive to the mall after school? Am I going to drive to the school dance? So many different places But over all teen-agers are glad to have their cars. - Marie Oliveros 62- : --'- ' s fa l ' A , ' Winston, Tressa .

Sophomore Spirit In 1988, the Sophomore class went through many changes. For one, they had to adjust from being a Freshman to being Sophomores, bring- ing with it a lot more respon- sibilities. This is one reason why sophomore class presi- dent, joe O'Brian felt that there was a lack of sophomore spirit. This was the hardest year in high school and some of the kids might have spent more time on academics' than on extra activities. At the first class meeting of the year, only one person was present - the class president. Even the class of- ficers didn't show up! O'Brian admitted. Since then, the sophomore class spirit has improved. The class meetings averaged about 70 people in November and in- creased as the year did. The reason for this improvement was the fact that the class president threatened that if the sophomore class didn't become more spirited, there wouldn't be a Sophomore Hop. Even though drastic measures had to be taken to improve the situation, the sophomore class has shown that they are and can be a spirited group. In the beginn- ing of October to the end of November, they held a class candy sale and did quite well. They met their goal and even passed it with a nice profit. When 'we asked loe O'Brian if he planned on us- ing more threats to keep the class spirit, he responded, lf I have to. - Binta Patton Suzanne Palomino Sophomore, stuffs her face full of food in the An- tioch RalIy's class competition, a speed-eating contest.
