Rrrring!!! Finally the long awaited lunch bell rang. Everyone rushed out to the parking lot ready to leave. fOr at least those who had cars or rides.l But most sophomores lunch could be very boring. Most sophomores were not sixteen when the school year began. If they wanted to leave campus for lunch, they usually had to bum a ride with someone else. Juniors and seniors could only put up with sophomores for so long. Then once again the lonely little sophomore had to eat in the cafeteria. When the sophomore did turn sixteen, he was usually not too hard to spot. They were seen run- ning over curbs or reparking the car two or three times so that their car would fit into the seemingly small parking space between other huge cars. Since they hadn't been 'out on the streets' for very long, they were usually unexperienced drivers. Driving is a lot of fun, but you have to watch out for mailboxes, commented Tiffany White, sophomore. Along with turning sixteen and get- ting a car came all the freedoms. But this wasn't always so. Turning sixteen wasn't as great as I thought it would be, said Esther Wood, sophomore, My parents did not think that turning Sweet Six- teen should give you any more privileges. So it was not that sweet.

Most prospective sophomores worried about getting lost in such a big school. There are a lot more people, Jennifer Bergeson, sophomore, said. I worried about not being able to find my way around. I worried about not fitting in. Sophomore Mike Seieme was also worried about not fitting in. I felt lonely because I didn't have many friends here, he recalled. On the other hand, there may be a problem of fitting in too well. I was afraid of getting my head The rules and regulations for Southside are explained to the sophomores by Mr. Sims, vice-principal. Looking over the rules, sophomores Courtney Dawson, Tina Fulgham and Kenny Boyett get their first taste of senior high. stuffed through a wall, sophomore David Hawkins said. Mickey Mouse is a term most sophomores are familiar with. I was afraid of being put down because of being a sophomore, Lynnette Huffman reflected. I was dreading being Mickey Mouse. Most people agreed 'that Southside was better than their previous school. lt's easier to learn here because of a much more relaxed at- mosphere, David Hawkins thought. The people are more open - more friendly and easy to talk to, Lynnette Huffman said. You can be friends with everybody. And they're proud of their school - proud of what they've done. Pride seems to be a widespread emotion at Southside. So what ex- actly does it mean to be a Rebel? We're such a great school and we've achieved a lot in sports and academics, sophomore Tonya Botsch replied. We can be proud of everything we do because we put everything into it, l'm proud to be a Rebel because of Mr. Baker and our football squad, Lynnette Huffman said. Maybe it's better said simply. Like Jennifer Bergeson said, l'm proud. What can I say? l'm a Rebel.
