Run For Your Lives! The Creatins But I heard them exclaim Over the third hour bell ' I can ' t wait for tomorrow We re tired of this .. well, vvork, of course. With those words C. Sledge ended Chapter One ' ' of the newly revitalized Creative Writing class. Mrs. Sledge ' s Christmas Greetin g more or less gives the non-initiated an idea of what goes on behind C-9 ' s second hour doors. Christened the Creatins on a recent class excursion to Arkansas, C. and her students have found the extension from one semester to two wonderful . The extra 18 weeks allowed the class to try new innovations. Mrs. Sledge has done an excellent job, said CW student Kim Harju. Other students echoed Kim ' s thoughts. She ' s taken a class that had an undesireable reputation, said Mi- chael Tucker, and turned it around. It ' s not just a class anymore. Indeed. Most of the class said theyTe friends outside of the room as well as inside. WeTe best friends ' said Erika Stacy. Perhaps that ' s why Sledge s 2nd hour was a winner. SEE? WE REALLY DO WORK! Concentrating on Creative Thought is a large part of the CW Experience. Really. LEAN ON ME. The Creatins here show theyTe there to pick one another up. CHOW TIME!!

I n A State of Confusion Our Boys and Girls Come Through Many people in today ' s vvorld say that the teenagers don ' t do anything con¬ structive ' The only things teenagers do are cause trouble, and talk on the phone ' That ' s not so. In the summer of 1986, six seniors went to Baton Rouge to attend a special convention on the government of Louisi- ana. These seniors were participating in Louisiana ' s Boys ' and Girls ' State. Attending Girls ' State were Kathleen DeSoto, Leslie Bordelon, and Verni Wright. The Caddo Magnet High School representatives for Boys ' State were Bry- an Patterson, Mare Walker and Tom Drummond. These students represented Magnet in a mature and responsible way. As they learned about and participated in the government of the state, they taught peo¬ ple of the state about Magnet: That we as a school excel and pave the future and also that as individuals we set standards for each other to follow and perhaps for the next generation as well. OKAY! WHATS THE NEXT LINE? Bryan Patterson and Tom Drummond sing in Sr. Showcase. COME ON VERNI CET IT TOGETHER. Sharla Skinner and Verni Wright get geared up for an interview with Mr. Price.
