Ask any junior and he would tell you that it was time to order class rings. Despite the arrival of Au¬ rora, a new metal, and the return of Lustrium, the gold rings were still the favorite of most Juniors. Eric Hollan explained. “Not only do gold rings look better, but they are of a better quality. Since I have a job after school, I can choose the metal 1 prefer.” As in Eric’s case, the coins and the extra “green” in the pock¬ ets of juniors no longer came from their parents. The juniors made time to punch those clocks and get to work. Wendy Beale, an Junior Class Officers left to right: Front Row—Bridget Parker, Vice President; Sharon Pierce, Secretary. Back Row—Greg Strickland, Treasurer; C. J. White, President employee at Leggett’s Department Store, realized that “Having my own spending money makes me a more responsible person.” In spite of the positive side, working while attending school had its disadvantages. According to Tracy Yates, “When I have to work late, doing my homework sometimes means staying up to about 1:00 a.m.” When the Juniors looked back on their experiences in combining the working world, and the school work load, they realized it was worth the extra effort. Reggie Smith, a quest speaker at an as¬ sembly, put it: “Short term pain for long term gain.” The Juniors in the American Studies class enjoy a guided tour of the grounds of the Governor’s Palace in Williamsburg. 10 JUNIORS

Sophomores Excel Everyone said the Sophomores were Blah” and did nothing. When there were pep rallies they sat and watched everyone else. They participated in few sports and school activities. The Sophomores might have been Blah”, but when it came to floats, they ex¬ celled. After a hard week of working at the old Coca-Cola plant, they received first place in the float competition. The Soph- mores were very proud of their creation. When the Raiders took the lead over the Rangers, the Sophomores excitement surely matched that of the Seniors. The Raiders victory over the Rangers was a joyous occasion that left the people in the stands crying, jumping, and screaming! We won!” Sophomore Class Officers left to right — Paula White, Treasurer; Yvette Wil¬ son, Secretary.
