Sophs Sample Education To build, one must start at the bottom, is a saying which Sophomores can apply to themselves. As the new underclassmen of Roosevelt, they must orientate them- selves by locating their classrooms, choosing extracurricular activities, and acquainting themselves with the traditions of Teddyville. Sophomores are required to take Language Arts 10a and 10b to earn a certificate or a diploma. World History, Geometry, and a foreign language are college requirements which often form tenth grade curriculum. The courses for the Sophomore year are selected during the preceding spring. A variety of electives is available. These include: Photography, Typing, Band, Jewelry, Electricity, Boat Building, Foods, and Navigation.
