Sophomore Year Mode Memorable ' It ' s our second year and we ' re still going strong. We pooled our energies in 1 982-83 to make our sophomore year one to re- member. Meeting on Tuesdays at lunch to formu- late plans, the class council members obvi- ously enjoyed their school service. Class council was o lot of hard work but it was worth it. We all pulled together and got things done, reported Kelly Soto, one en- thusiastic council member. Taking over basketball concessions was a new experience for us this year. Not only did we make a profit, but working together for one goal strengthened class unity. Our president, Froilan Mendoza, said, It was really great working in the concession stand and we really made a good profit. This year we once again shocked the other classes by winning the football homecoming spirit stick for the second year in a row. I think it ' s great. It ' s a great honor, and we ' re not finished yet. We ' re gonna win it when we ' re juniors and when we ' re seniors, too, boasted Stacey Mer- lino, a proud sophomore. The class of ' 85 has always been a class to be proud of. Our spirit and pride have given us the reputation of a fighting class. This class never gives up; we put our strength to the fullest extent to build up our pride and respect. — Froilan Mendoza 1.

Adcock, Stacy Alien, Barbara Altamircno, Monica fWm Hesitant Drivers Conquer Nerves It was very definitely what scientists would call a near-death experience. I think my heorfactually ceased to beat during the first four minutes of my little escapade, not to mention the tempo- rary shortness of breath and dizziness. Most of you by now have probably nar- rowed my topic of discussion down to two conceivable choices: (1) Montezu- ma ' s Revenge at Knott ' s Berry Farm; or (2) Driver ' s Training. I ' m talking about none other than the notorious Driver ' s Training. I ' m sure it ' s a traumatic experience for anyone who had ever reached the ripe old age of 15 ' 2. As Maria Bravo said, It was very nerve wracking. Per- haps I did overdo it a bit though. Maybe it ' s not necessary to perform a memo- rized routine of deep breathing exer- cises before entering the yellow car, I distinctly remember opening the car door (Which I did quite well) and step- ping inside. Instantly, my forehead sank to below dashboard level. I was eye-to- eye with the speedometer. The instruc- tor, looking rather amused, propped me up and told me to start ' er up. Eventually, believe it or not, I man- aged to maneuver that silly car onto Opal Street and out onto Mission Boule- vard. Everything went smoothly after that; I didn ' t run one red light! And I re- gained my previous health and sanity, ■♦f 1. Mr. Barnes reylews test papers with some of his Drivers ' Education students. 2.
