TOGETHER FUR THE LA TIME Sophomores Have The Advantages nother year one more time to search for parking spaces, get involved, and have fun. Sophomores are we1l-pre- pared to start their last year at school. Whether their pro- gram is technical, transfer, or vocational, the schedules are followed to get ready for a 4- year institution or to hit the working world. It is nice to know your teachers, to be top dog at school, and to know each other by name. Being a soph- omore has many advantages. From knowing where your classes are and how to get there, sophomore benefits are enjoyed by many. The ideas and plans by the upperclass SGA lStudent Government Associatlonj help make the school the best it can be. The leadership of the Sophomores in general give the freshmen a road to travel, a goal to strive for, and a goal to attain for the dreamed of last and Sopho- more year at college. Being a Sophomore does have its advantages. Bobby Johnson, Sharon Bouchelle and Lisa Brooks relax in on the stone wall beside Thompson Hall. 4 ', , gf' 1... 'B- , x 'V , A Ju .. ' if 1.
