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

Woo dstock, US Festival, Live Aid, Revel, ArtBreak . . t ' s A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight READY. SETT ! The City of SPort lift helped set up ArtBreak last year. Magnet played a big role in its success. WMERE RE YOU QOIMQ?!? Mrs. C. Sledge paints her daughter s face as Mrs. Moores kids run off in sheer terror. MMMMMMM . ! Chrissie Scarpinatto chows down on one of three donuts. Taste-good, eh? Well Known throughout the area as a school that mixes its fun with its QPA numbers, Magnet is recognized as a school that knows how to have a good time, as well as the more obvi- ous acknowledgement of being visu- ally talented. Little wonder then is the massive support Magnet students give local events such as the Red Riv¬ er Revel, ArtBreak, Holiday-ln-Dixie, and the Louisiana State Fair. It s nice because our students are represented well, and we get to see other schools ' work, and there s a nice exchange there as well, said art teacher Ed Allen. Bands such as Critical Mass and The Plaguesters (nee Beetah Chee- tah) have shown Magnet rocks with the best of them, and the Orchestra, Jazz, Dance, and Choral Groups are regular entertainment there as well. And how about that food! With a student body as diverse as CMHS ' , its tough to finger a favorite, but if one had to, the funnel cakes and Matchi- toches Meat Pies moved briskly. ‘They are so good! exclaimed Jenny Parker when pressed for comment ... 4 2 • MARKING TIME
