No need to change sophomore.
It already means “useful idiot.”

I’m Irish and I love Ireland but they are totally socialist.

Wouldn’t the term “Fresh” offend some students who are age-challenged and offend other students who are hygiene-challenged?
IMHO, a better word-choice would be “first graders”, “second graders”, etc.
