Required Courses Second Time Around There are only three short months between freshman and sophomore year, but the differences between the two are amazing. The confused freshman has become wiser and more mature. He no longer feels so rushed to get to class because he knows he has more than enough time. His schedule has also changed. He moves from grammar to American literature in English. World to U.S. History and has now picked up Biology, his first science class of his high school years. In language, the sophomore progressed in his fluency, becoming more conversant in French and Spanish, or translating Caesar's Gallic Wars in Latin. Instead of graphing equations in two variables like he did in Algebra, the sophomore now learns proofs of theorems in Geometry'. Of course, the student’s schedule remains as full as it was in freshman year, but he can now handle the load, having developed the essential study skills in his first year. In Biology, a student learns the basic of life, from simple single-cell animals to complex creatures. The process of photosynthesis is diligently memorized, as well as the definitions for hundreds of terms used in the subject. The sophomore still remains with basically the same class he entered school with, so his relations with his friends become more solid as the year goes by. He knows that he can turn to another person in his class for help in a particular subject, while at the same time providing an exchange of information with some other student. St. Ignatius’ policy for a well-rounded student is carried further as the sophomore takes another year of Physical Education and as he changes topics in Theology class. In this way. the sophomore becomes a better member of the community, both physically and spiritually. In a way. the sophomore is the upper-classman of the underclass. In another year he will be choosing his own curriculum, and meeting a wider range of the community. Being a sophomore can be one of the most rewarding and challenging times of the four years at St. Ignatius. 28 Academics

Required Courses Three Out of Four After going through freshman and sophomore years with schedule that had no choice involved, the newly ordained upperclassmen have the chance to pick their own classes. Based upon likes, dislikes, ability, and teachers, choices include taking either honors or accelerated classes, or the normally structured classes. As the student picks out his classes for the upcoming year, he may notice that there are four classes that he is required to take: mathematics. English, foreign language, and theology. Beyond the realm of basic algebra, and geometry, lies advanced algebra. The juniors have the choice between Algebra II. and Algebra II with Trigonometry. both of which offer a comprehensive study of mathematics. English III or Honors English deals with British literature and embraces the great literary writings of Shakespeare. as well as the epic Beowulf, and short stories by other British masters. In order to offer a deeper understanding in a foreign language, a third year of study is required. After two years of Latin. French. Spanish, the third year is taken, and the additional language of Greek can be added. The heralded Theology Department contains the fourth course which is mandatory. The first semester is a full semester course, with the second semester being split into two quarter courses. The Theology Department offers the widest variety of classes with a number of teachers for all upperclassmen. With few exceptions, these are the only classes which juniors and seniors share. This course is mandatory to further the academic excellence, which has been the trademark of St. Ignatius since 1886. 30 Academics
