What A Scary Thought Deadlines. They come in the form of Science fair projects, finals, presen- tations, and the infamous research paper. If the work was staggered and not put off to the last minute, the as- signment was usually completed easi- ly and efficiently. Stili some students never leamed. I did my Science fair project in a weekend, stated fresh- man Tracy Corr. The weekend before it was due, no doubt. As the high school career contin- ued, another assignment loomed over the student s shoulder. The re¬ search paper. But, was it just another paper or Mades? A research paper is a conglomera- tion of other people s studies. To this. Junior Tim Snell felt that he ' d ' ' rather state my own opinions on the subject. There is no thought involved in doing research, you just go through the mo- tions. John Hext went as far as say- ing the papers are extremely unfair. So, were these hassles necessary? I suppose they have their purpose in preparing us for college. said Vanessa Loud. She then confessed that although that was true, she didn t like them; l ' d rather do an ovemight assignment. ' ' Of course, that s not to say that no papers were done ovemight. Many a bleary-eyed student was seen on the due days. Was it merely coincidental that the number of check-ins and outs abnor- mally increased on those days? H owever the task was taken care of, it had to be taken care of; whether or not the projects were done in days or weeks, they were done. No one, fresh- man to senior, was spared the dread- ed deadline. JUBILATIOM? Junior Kim Clikas celebrates the completion of her 40 notecards due for her research paper. 38 • MAKKiriG TIME

Between UGLY MISS VENUS And SENIOR SHOWCASE agnets Time Warped Talent Shows What do shapely legs, trotting horses, a suave serenade, and a biol- ogy class of your favorite teachers have to do with each other? These were just a few examples of Magnet s talent displayed. These tal¬ ent shows were productions of the Ju¬ nior and Senior classes. On Valentine s Day, the annual Ve¬ nus Ugly Miss Magnet Beauty Contest was held. The men of Magnet put a little change in their style and a little wiggle in their walK to participate in this contest. As the contestants danced across the stage in their sportswear, the au- dience judged their lady-like ap- pearances. Though all of the girls were beautiful and talented, a winner had to be chosen! Miss Betty Wayt. After being crowned, she roller skated across the stage and captured the heart of Magnet. A few weeks later, the Senior class presented Senior Showcase Time Warp. It was a combination of sing- ing, dancing, poetry reading, acting and much more. The hard work and dedication of the seniors resulted in a successful display of talent. Two acts of Showcase were Faculty Follies and Play Parody. The portrayal WMO SAYS BIG BOYS DO ITT CRY? HAH! Srs. Michael Carroll and Tom Drummond prove this theory wrong in the 1987 Senior Showcase of the faculty by the students dazzled the audience. The teachers then had the chance to see an interpretation of their personalities up on the stage. During the parody of Quest for the Holy Qrail, the British accents of some seniors and realistic gallops of others created an hilarious atmosphere for the audience. AII of the acts of Senior Showcase offered a variety of talent. Every act was the product of seniors joining to- gether to make their Senior Showcase the best one ever. WOULD YOU BE MY MEIGMBOR? Seniors Robert Elynt, a.k.a. Mr. Kennedy. and Derrick Mitchell. a.k.a. Mr. Allen, assume the easy going charac¬ tere in Faculty Follies. 40 • MAKMMCj TIME
