Because her relatives were dancing in the Tahitian troupes, Alavazo though it would be fun to do. Not only did it turn out to be fun for her, it proved to be long hard hours of practice. U, Alavazo, formerly of Lahulani s Maiden Dancers and Drum- mers, practiced twice a week for approximately 3-4 hours a day. Then, she was hired profession- ally to dance with different troupes for many functions. l think it's very fun dancing because I had the chance to meet many people from other places and it's nice to become known for my dancing too, said Ala- vazo. Alavazo also enjoyed Tahitian dancing because she learned the different traditions of Hawaii and .KW -.iz-2. .

I think the Sophomore Class participation was extremely high this year, said Helen Schorr, vice president. Other class offic- ers were: Jennifer Antaran, president, and Rachel Sershon, secretary treasurer. Assembly officers were: Schorr, Michelle Delgado, David Jacobs, and Antaran. One highlight for the Sopho- more Class was Victory Week. Along with their comical Cin- derfella was their third place float which earned 550. Although Victory Week was a lot of fun, a lot of people felt left out. The organizational process of Victory Week left a lot of people feeling left out, but com- pared to last year, the partici- pation was very high, said Sch- orr. Wanting to maintain a great year, the officers worked hard to keep the class together. The officers were down in front at the rallies to help lead spirit with the class and also we held special meetings to let the class know we were open for suggestions, said Sershon. Karen Grom and Kyle Rohde the advisers of the Sophomore Class worked twice as hard to have a better class. We have achieved better communication this year between myself, as adviser, and the officers than in the past, said Miss Grom. Our officers were strong leaders capable of working together to achieve the goals of the class. by Kimberly Banghart Sophomores 241
