Iranian scandal and South African crisis have been on the world political tables, while in the U.S., senior Mark Walker cites Democratic control of the Senate as being the thing which most impressed him this 1986 election year. It was an important event, he says, because it sounded off to ev- eryone that the Democrats not only lived, but thrived. The state of Louisiana had its singu- lar political bouts also, as legislators attempted to constitute a state lot- tery. Would Louisiana become the next Atlantic City? Years 1986-87 have seen scores of important civic anniversaries as well. Among those numbers have been that of Disneyworld and the Statue of Liberty. These milestones in history and folds in lifestyles have highlighted a conscious era and will serve as signs of the time. 10 • MARKIMG TIME

e Ir Ever So Humble RAH RAH REE! During the Spirit Rally, Seniors can be heard (and seen) ali over the gym showing their school spirit. Theres Norhing Like Homecoming The 1986 Homecoming had ar- rived. The old and the new came to- gether to reminisce and talk about the old times. The spirit of these stud- nets, teachers, and alumni was kept strong in their minds. Unlike the usu- al Homecoming of the same ol ' foot- ball game, Magnet students, with their creativity and resourcefulness, cre- ated their own activities to celebrate this annual event. But what is a celebration without food and games? The organizations and clubs worked together to make the affair complete. French Club ad- ded a touch of their European style by selling French croissants. The Junior dass put in their share by selling cookies and candy (a.k.a. Dieters Disaster ' ). Then, of course, if you were hungry for some pizza, Key was selling it by the slice. There were also the usual or maybe unusual carnival games, like the pie in the face” booth, set up by the Fencing Team. And for a taste of the unusual, there was the marriage-divorce booth put together by the Octagon Club. If you really wanted to get into the spirit”, the Spirit Leaders sponsored a Cake Walk. To top off the day s excitement, there was the Homecoming Dance and the announcement of the 1986- 87 Homecoming Court which was as follows: 9th grade Lady Hillary Gird- ley, Lady Theresa Hudson, and Lord Lassiter Mason; lOth grade Lady Sun- ny Smith and Lord Emery Bias; llth grade Lady Sheila Adger, Lady Shayne Berry, Lord Cari Millender, and Lord Brian Blade,- 12th grade Lady Tannis Sweeney, Lady Lisa Box, Lord Michael Young, and Lord Kurt Kimmerly; and last, but definitely not least, were Queen Susan Murphy and King Joseph Carter. Through all the excitement on this special date, as the students of the past and the present were brought to¬ gether, there was a feeling of accep- tance and warmth, a feeling of being at horne. With this feeling, we kept in mind mid pleasures and palaces through we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there ' s no place like horne.” 12 • MARKIHG TIME
