Grand Slammin ' the Penn is mightier than the sword TENNIS IS THE RACQUET! The tennis team this year followed the example of excellence that has been set for many years at Magnet. The 137 members ali worked to make our reputation as a winning team known state-wide. The achievements of Magnets ten¬ nis team have been outstanding. Last year they won the state championship and this year they are expected to do just as well, if not better. There have been ten matches this year held at Centenary, and so far Magnet is unde- feated. Regionals and State competi- tions are soon to be held, and this teams chance for success is good. Coach Valerie Monday is an impor¬ tant factor in the success of the team. Her excitement and support is shown through her smile and encouraging words.

Softball class is on the right pitch At Magnet, Ms. Settlemire and Ms. Owen see red when casually referred to as any thing but a physicaI educa- tion teacher. And they allow no spectators or ‘‘couch potatoes” in their midst. And so it goes that there are other coaches who insist that ali hale and hearty kids PARTICIPATE. That’s how debate coach Don Belanger felt about the newly formed softball team — girls softball, no less. The fast pitch team got a late start this season, but they stili boasted a 5-4 record. The team, according to fielder Shauntel Mayfield, hopes to better their record and strengthen the Lady Mustangs’ fielding. Take me out to the ball park! THE WORLD S EAVORITE SPORT is alive and well at the Magnet field. Mo peanuts or popcom, but batter Chris Howard concentrates on hitting the ball. IS THAT CASEY AT THE BAT? Mo. it looks like John Miley preparing to slap that ball out of the park. Mo matter, the Lady Mustangs profess that their form is much better.

I love the competition with fellow classmates.” The marked ability of this team to play tennis showed that they have the key to success. QOSH. TUIS RACKET IS HEAVY!
