I n A State of Confusion Our Boys and Girls Come Through Many people in today ' s vvorld say that the teenagers don ' t do anything con¬ structive ' The only things teenagers do are cause trouble, and talk on the phone ' That ' s not so. In the summer of 1986, six seniors went to Baton Rouge to attend a special convention on the government of Louisi- ana. These seniors were participating in Louisiana ' s Boys ' and Girls ' State. Attending Girls ' State were Kathleen DeSoto, Leslie Bordelon, and Verni Wright. The Caddo Magnet High School representatives for Boys ' State were Bry- an Patterson, Mare Walker and Tom Drummond. These students represented Magnet in a mature and responsible way. As they learned about and participated in the government of the state, they taught peo¬ ple of the state about Magnet: That we as a school excel and pave the future and also that as individuals we set standards for each other to follow and perhaps for the next generation as well. OKAY! WHATS THE NEXT LINE? Bryan Patterson and Tom Drummond sing in Sr. Showcase. COME ON VERNI CET IT TOGETHER. Sharla Skinner and Verni Wright get geared up for an interview with Mr. Price.

cademic Internists Have A Turn in the Real World When trying to decide the perfect career to pursue, there is bound to be some confusion and quite a few questions. Is it what I want to do? How much money does it pay? And most of ali, will I enjoy it? This year, through the academic internship program, many students at Magnet gained experience and knowledge in fields that they are interested in. Jr. Jill Mobley worked in the Physical Therapy department at The Bone Joint Clinic. Throueh working with the people and learning ali about pnysical therapy, I now know I am definitely interested in this type of iob. Next, I ' d like to try working with the children at the Shriner ' s Hospital, ex- plained Jill. Academic internship helps shape the fu¬ ture for many students. It gives a more realis- tic look into the employment opportunities. Jennifer Rowe found out awareness is a ma¬ jor key to success when she was asked to film Live at Five. Once I shot a camera at a remote for Live at Five. I was scared, but it was a blast! she exclaimed. So, all in all, the academic internship pro¬ gram is giving the teens of Shreveport a chance to plot their future with confidence and wisdom. HE ' S SOMEWHERE OUT THERE JILL!
