Just A Trace Of A TRANGE Face 7:45 a.m. Jim Brown (names were changed to protect the innocent) dropped his books while trying to get off his bus. After gathering them up again, he entered the building and headed for his locker. Jim shuffled through his books only to discover the report on Lincoln he ' d done for Mrs. Farmer (he ' d been late the day before) was missing! He tore through the locker, but stopped. When I dropped my books! ' ' he thought. Jim ran out to the front of A-wing and there, mud- died and wrinkled, lay his paper. His face flushed and eyes wide, one hand raised to slap the side of his head. It was not young Jim Browns day. After gathering up the remains of his paper, he walked back toward his locker. His look of dejection inspired a sympathetic smile from an upper- OH EXUSE MEI An embarrassed senior Lashunda Police pause from her playing to stifle a grin. classman. Well,” thought Jim, ' ' May- be it won t be such a bad day after ali.” Expressions were powerful tools that related their owner ' s feelings to others. As in Jims case, his hopeless face compelled a sympathetic smile from another. That smile gave Jim a little extra boost that helped him pull througt a tough day. That just goes to show that if a picture is worth a thousand words, then a facial expres- sion is well worth a million. SMOOTI SHOOT! SHOOT!

Two special nights um juniors into seniors There are things in a junior s lite that he will remember forever, and the Prom and Ring ceremony are two of them. Both events occurred in the spring and all looked forward to their happening. Mosting a Prom is not an easy job but with organization and planning, success can be achieved. With the class elections in the fall the ball was set rolling. Officers got to work plan¬ ning fundraisers and the aid of other juniors was enlisted. The junior year was a year that would bring the class together. The first attempt at achiev- ing this feat was having a car wash. The car wash was scheduled, lots of people showed up, and the day was sunny. But there was one problem. There was another organization hav¬ ing a car wash that same place! So the party was moved to Froswa Bookers ' dad s restaurant. On Monday it was happily reported the car wash did make money after all. The next big project was Ugly Miss, a show designed to showcase the more masculine beauties at Mag- net. But the show wouldn t work with- out the help and dedication of many people. The theme had to be decided, music picked and rehearsals orga- nized. In traditional fashion, the show came together on the day before and was chockful of laughs and success. Ugle Miss marked the end of the fundraisers but the spirit prevailed. Prom planning now became the dominant issue. The theme had al- ready been chosen but new colors. tavors and decorations were to be de¬ cided upon. The day finally arrived and busy juniors covered all of the Plantation Room at LSUS. At five the work was done and a beautiful night lay ahead. Two weeks later, on a Thursday night the junior class was once again assembled. Excitement ran through the auditorium as the junior class be¬ came the senior class. They have a new classification and will continue to work together as seniors on projects next year. IS THAT A FIMISMING TOUCH? Tracey Widiger, eager decorator, spends hours of her Saturday doing the most tedious jobs preparing for prom. ALL DRESSED UP AND HO PLACE TO GO: Meg McJunkins, Jennifer Greenfield, and Sarah Stokes share the excitement and fun of preparing for prom at the Stokes horne. 48 • MARKING TIME
