YeT This year, in looking back, may be The leasT significanf of your four high school years: you're noT The new freshmen com- ing in. buT you're noT an upperclassman yeT, eifher. You don'T have a freshman Team To yourselves: you're noT Too likely To make a varsiTy Team, so you're sfuck on The JV Teams - behind some juniors. For The girls, Though, There's JV cheerlead- ing.
