WHAT PUDDLE DID YOU STEP IP1? Michelle Campbell s tennis shoes. tiave you ever imagined life as an inanimate object? have you considered one day without Mr. Scotts trigonometry homework, your parents hassling you about those late night calls, or six test in one day? Well, lets close our eyes-put on our imagination caps-and think of life as Gosh, sure is smelly in here. AII these old papers and magazine clippings, mirrors, jackets, and-old gym shorts. Of course this is characteristic of 80% of the lockers on our campus. I use my locker for everything including novels, term papers, and socks. ... It ' s a little crowded in here with all these tennis rackets. Life as . a locker isn t that great! What makes tennis shoes so unique? According to the majority of students, tennis shoes reflect your personality. Krista Clemens neatly autographed tennis shoes to Greg Qerman s bright, yellow high top All-Stars, designer tennis shoes are the latest in the fashion industry. Sure was a rigorous workout I had today. The constant thumping on the concrete courts was sheer agony. After supporting through this, more than tough workout, I was just tossed in a comer of a dark room with little ventilation, a closet. Life as a tennis shoe is hard work at work and play. Observing the objects on Mrs. Waguespack s desk, notice the fuzzy topped structure that causes much confusion. There is a tag that reads, Rub hard. This object was a frustration pencil. When rubbed hard, the fuzzy yarn separates, sticking straight up. A pencil is a unique utensil. Some are skinny, others are plump. Some are tali while others are short. The agony of being shredded into little wood pilings and my eraser being bitten makes life as a pencil not very pleasant. Now it ' s time to re-enter the real world. Let s think, a locker, the residence of horrorthe tennis shoes, the house of deadly, odor, and the pencil, the shredded wood pile, make present life great! 26 • MAKKIPKj TIME

Fashions With Qlasses Mark agnet s Lads And IS IT THE MIAMI VICE LOOK? Sophomore Angela White is certainly prepared for action with her risky business ' glasses. Who said that you could not wear that old green shirt that your mom bought for you three years ago? It was with wild, Creative, and vivid imagina- tion that Caddo Magnet High School students transformed the styles of the 1950 ' s into the fashion fever of the 1980 ' s. You could have taken that old shirt, added a pair of neatly rolled up Quess jeans, a blue (well, not neces- sarily blue) jean jacket, pink shoes, a few broaches, and any type of tennis shoes. That was precisely the descrip- tion of the typical attire of a Magnet student. Just as Magnets academic concept was a change from the ordinary, many students took this att itude toward their fashion styles. At Magnet, noth- ing was really considered out of style. ' ' There were as many different fashion trends as there were different personalities. What a person wore ex- pressed what he thought. Jennifer Brasseux, a Senior at Mag¬ net, said, I think too many people try to dress alike. Individuality in tastes is much more interesting than everyone trying to wear the same styles. I think that you should just be yourself.” Magnet students made their marks in the world of fashion. Whether it was for a casual evening or a night out on the town, they always dressed their best. Senior Brian McMew and Junior By- ron Connell both agreed, Laurene Gremillion seems to us to be the most fashionable person at school.” Though clothes were most of what made up fashion, there was another accessory that made it complete. This was glasses. Glasses were definitely a hit at Magnet. The styles ranged from big frames with colored lenses to small frames with no lenses. Shades are the coolest thing next to Moonlighting ' remarked Junior Cari Millender. Glasses were fashionable, but to some people, they were a necessity. Senior Amy Schild remarked, “I love my glasses. My question is ‘Do guys make passes at girls who wear glasses? ' ” On the other hand, some students wore glasses for the fun of it. wear fake glasses sometimes to make me look more intelligent,” re¬ marked Junior Cari Millender. Fashions exhibited Creative new personalities each day. The trends of today reflected the trends of the past. The age of bobby socks, big sweaters, pretty bows. Levis jackets, and Top- siders came back around once again. Though the styles may have been old, Magnet students added their own flair to mark them distinctly Magnet.” WHO IS THE SHARPEST DRESSER? Mr. Trudeau is dressed for a night on the town. Mr. Trudeau. it s only 2:45. YOU RE OH CAHDID CAMERA! Juniors Tracy Widiger, Paul Minniear, Erin Ennis. and Gina hili enjoy going out together and having fun. 28 • MARKinG TIME
