Hlass af '62 61 Sophomore class officers are Dale Lamb fsecretaryj, Nancy McQueen ftreasurerj, Connie Felt fvice-presidentj, and Bob Withrow fpresidentj. A sophomore is a proud and dignified student who has survived the rigors of one whole year of school, has steeled himself to the thought of having to dissect frogs, and has accepted the responsibility of having to be able to spell sophomore, A sophomore can never be confused with a freshman because a sophomore not only knows where he is going, but also has suggestions to offer about where the rest of the world is going. He can no longer be called the very lowest lower-classman because now he has reached a higher step-the upper lower-classman. He apparently has adopted as his personal motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow. A sophomore is a name on the permanent record. A student is not considered a sophomore until he has earned at least 3M credits. Wfhen he has attained this glorified status, a whole world of electives opens before him. Al- though he is required to take English, physical education, and some kind of science, he could choose from such an interesting array as geometry, Latin, French, typing, home economics, and shop courses. What he chooses is deter- mined considerably by what his future plans are. Taking specialized achievement tests and talking with the guid- ance counselors help him appraise himself and make his decisions. l3

Saphamares Often Wonder The sophomore is a studious soul. He takes great stacks of books home and brings them back every day. fUnless they are library books, in which case he cannot bear to part with them and eventually pays huge fines for his af- fections.j If he appears to daydream in study hall, he is actually deep in complex thought about how he will feel when he carves the first initials into the moon's surface. If he runs noisily down the corridors, it is only because he is so eager to get to his next class. If his report card comes back a battered mess, it is only because he proudly showed it to so many people. Sophomores are creatures noted for their wise decisions. Their ability was reflected when in September, 164 mem- bers strong, they held their annual election of officers. Boy, this is really good, says the hamster as Sue Crocker feeds it its daily meal. They chose Bob Withrow as president, Connie Felt as
