to full-fledged students in one short gear Our freshmen have climbed the wall of sophistication and entered the realm of princely high-schoolery. They came not A A alone. There were fears and expecta- . . tions. They wondered how much home- work they would have. If the religion teacher would remember her from fifth grade-she hoped not. If he could ,make varsity the first year. lf the nuns would notice how high her skirt went when she sat. If he would finally get the cour- age to talk to 'that girl.' And why high school was really necessary, after all. The year was filled with achievements. They saw the sophomores and caught Irish spirit, the iuniors and gained en- thusiasm. They saw the brilliance of the senior class and entertained the aura of scholarly achievement. Now they will be sophomores. New ideas will come, new hopes will hold them prey, new subiects will be introduced to puzzle their minds. And to this adventure they will again respond- all we can do is try. With one year of high school behind them, the sophomores set out on their tedious iourney to conquer new courses, new teachers and to live up to the idea of being upper underclassmen. Dissected sharks and worms, mingled with the aroma of formaldehyde, helped lend a pleasant air to the classrooms. In typical sophomore tradition, the class of '70 gloried in not being low men on the Irish totem pole. They experienced for the first time the thrill of seeing their proi- ects at the annual Science Fair. They became full-fledged members of the Boosters, and using balloons and noisemakers to compensate for their hoarse voices, were able to win the spir- it stick three times. As the end of the year approached, enterprising sopho- mores had already established a iunior activities treasury padded with funds from car washes and bake sales. Such in- itiative and imagination helped make the sophomore class a vital asset to St. V. FRESHMAN HOMEROOM T08 Front Row: J. McKoski, W. Bungard, J. Dages, J. Hentges, E. W. Somody, T.

and Mary Titus carefully watch one of their mysterious brews. sophomore leaders accept responsibility achieve respect Remember when . . . you borrowed dirty gym socks the day you for- got yours, you ran up to 304 and found that class was changed To 108, it rained on picture day and you had naturally curly hair, you studied all night for the frog, but got tested on the fish, you got away with nine late slips and no deten- tions, somehow you got that detention for one late slip? Remember when you were a sophomore? SOPHOMORE HOMEROOM 106 Front Row: T. Emmanuele, E. Yahner, G. Dannemiller, G. Lash, E. Scheatzle, G. Benson, R. Corall, C. Fritsch, G. Whelan.
