Pirogues, swamps, alligators, Mardi Gras, the BIG EASY, debilitating summer heat. Sure, the temperature soars to a swel- tering 100 degrees in the summer time. But the thermometer reading and Cajun lore are not all that make Louisiana a very “hot” item these days. The ingredients for banner headlines are apparent. We sport the nation’s high- est unemployment and lowest literacy rates. We have been lambasted by the Wall Street Journal for our political cor- ruption, our woefully inadequate educa- tional System, our voodoo economics. And, thanks to the electronic media, we’ve been reminded that we are horne to the excesses of televangelism as well. But pretend, for a moment. that you are world-renowned Chef Paul Prudhomme. Your recipe calls for a culturally rich and remarkably diverse stock, to which you add a bit of Justin Wilson’s down- home humor, a dash of former Governor Jimmie Davis’s homespun philosophy, and a pinch of recently deposed Edwin W. “Fast Eddie” Edward ' s joie de vivre. Throw in a dab of sports enthusiasm. (The feats of any home-grown hero will do — Super Bowl MVP Doug Williams, the Boston Celtics ' Robert Parish, LSU’s Pis- tol Pete Maravich, golfing great Hal Sut- ton, FCA spokesman and former St. Louis Cardinal Pat Tilley, CBS commen¬ tator Terry Bradshaw, Honda’s racing ‘‘hot dog Freddie Spencer.)

At the fall festival jr. Sherry Bush is caught chewing some undoubtedly tasty food. Let the sauce simmer for a while. Then stir the pot of controversy a bit more vi- gorously, whipping in Barksdale Air Force Base’s bid for the MX missile and Shreve- port’s brouhahas about the Confederate flag stili flying over the courthouse, the Race for Unity campaign, the not-yet- completed 1-220 bridge over Cross Lake, the not-so-sudden demise of the Red Riv¬ er Rose excursion boat, the proposed scenic railroad, a divided City council, and a Yankee (GASP!) police chief. Bring this mixture to a rolling boil be- fore cautiously blending in guarded opti- mism and other aesthetics — the efficien- cy award given to General Motors’ Shreveport works, the addition of Rock¬ well International and its adoption of Caddo Magnet High School, the slowly climbing test scores for the students of Louisiana, the national Rose Center, Barnwell Center’s newly created scent garden” for the visually impaired, and the first Academic Pentathlon for the middle schoolers of the state. Sprinkle in government reconstruction and fiscal responsibility. Add generous amounts of innovative and competent educational leadership.

Oh my, no! This was yesterday- the day of no worries, responsibilities, and complaints. Today is back to school day, so pack up the back packs and head for the halls. Dream no more. Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning! The obnoxious call of the local D.J. reminded us that there was a specific place to be on the morning of September Ist. The desti- nation? The campus of Caddo Magnet High School. Before entering the lot a large group (as tradition called) congregated at Mur¬ reis restaurant. After all a nutritious breakfast is so important! Gossip spread from one end of the eatery to the other faster than Granny could warm the cof- fee. This was the final good- bye- the burial of the sum- mer. Off to campus went a pa- rade of cars, waving, honk- ing, and trying to beat the red lights. An assembly greeted the veterans of high school as well as the young innocent 9th graders. The main attraction was S.G.A. president Tracey Widiger singing an inspira- tional piece on her desire to be pea-like (green and leafy.) This number set the tone of the hours to be. With it we were sent to receive lo- cation cards and with these green and white striped pieces of paper we were guided through the begin- ning of our perilous journey into the next year. “The Ist day of school is when everyone has an anxi- ety attack,” said a dis- turbed Mrs. L.E.G. Smith. What to wear? Why is ev¬ eryone so tan and thin and why did I gain those extra pounds over the summer? But even with these ago- nizing questions the day went relatively smoothly (no tragedies, that is) and ever- ything once again went calm ... Good morning! Good morning! Good morning! It was time for the next day of school. (The second of many to follow) SPICE OF LIFE HEY mon. i ll take your pic¬ ture FOR TWO J’S! David Golden stops to ask Jenny Wise about her summer vacation.

Junior Sean Naquin turns down a chance to get back out on the lake. He’s too tired. Hot Time, Summer Sbcdetifo In The City SUMMER IN THE CITY. Summer in the City means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. The definitions vary from those who are going to start going to summer school, or to work, or for some privileged souls, it is a time to relax and be carefree. Among those who had a job during the past summer was junior Jonothan Thompson, who spent a large part of his free time at the Shreveport-Barksdale Mister Gatti’s. When asked why he would give up so much of his precious free time, he replied, “lt ' s tough sometimes, but overall it’s worth it because I get paid.” One of the proud and the few, the summer school students was senior Jenny Wise. Jenny telis a sad story of how she forced to go to Fair Park because of those darn graduation require- ments, but at the same time says, “Well, you meet a lot of people that you used to know from grade school and just couldn’t keep in contact with.” Vacations lent a big hand in determining who had the most fun over the summer. Some Magnet students were part of a local church mission trip to Jamaica. After they completed their duties for the day, the high school explorers were set free to conquer the Jamaican night life. Senior David Golden had this to say about the trip, “It was a lot of work but it was also a load of fun.” If they weren ' t on vacation, Magnet students were partying right here in Shreveport. (Believe it or not, there are places to go in Shreveport.) Magnet people could be found out at the Dam, eating at different places, seeing a movie, or just sitting around the house for a nice quiet evening at horne, with fifty of their closest friends.

Well, since our small world of extended and profound aca- demia revolves around such sub-clauses, we need not pon- der much longer to distinguish the denotations and connota- tions of the words: plague, earthquake, flood, and Vi inch of ice!! In Louisiana, such cata- clysms are commonplace. Well, not really. But stili - the 1987-1988 years have pro- vided a veritable potpourri of metaphysical disaster, cosmic meltdown, ontological unglue- dation, and universal dissimila- tion. Well, not really. But with a small flash flood. an ice “storm , a tornado, and a one-day frost be permitted for such a tropical paradise such as Shreveport, often referred to as FUN CITY? “I think that with us getting out for a flash flood for half of a day and two of my friends’ houses getting blown away by an obnoxious tornado it has been a time of turbulence in Shreveport,” ex- claimed senior Darren Davis in a fit of being stuck in this vast City with climatic turmoil. “I played a long time in the slush and snow,” said senior James Stavig, with a look of childish glee (oh, what other sort would do?). “And I almost got frostbite on my nose.” Yes, Magnet Youth did enjoy the haze of new fallen snow . or something like that. “Oh, we enjoyed our time in the snow drifts but we did get a little cabin fever, us girls, with nothing to get out and do,” spurted junior Penny Grigsby. Cabin fever seemed to be an epidemic. Everyone was glad to get back to school. Sort of. IFE THIS WAY MAYBE. Margaret Sales points with an indlfferent attitude toward shelter from the elements. NO.

BLAST O’ WINTER In Amidst l otm AII The MaurfaiH Hoonla After the school year had begun, and new faces and names started becoming easy to remember, it was election time. Because lead- ership is such an important goal and quality here, many students ran for either a Stu¬ dent Government office or a class officer. Teachers watch from afar the progress that is being made through each candidate. Mr. Bryan, the li- brary Science teacher and fa- ther of junior class treasurer. Jonathon Bryan, says, ‘‘It al- ways gives you satisfaction to see your son achieve his goals.” The campaigning began in full force. Posters appeared on every bricked wall and surface. Many different ap- proaches were taken to achieve notoriety. It may have been neon paint, pro- fessionally made signs, or splatter painted masses of butcher paper that caught the voters’ eyes. It is certain that many preparations were made. Every candidate put effort into the elections and they didn ' t seem to worry over time and money spent on advertisements. It was, as Mike Strahan put it. “the fact that I lost that hurt. Eventually the voters got to hear the campaign speeches of their fellow stu¬ dents. Some of the proposi- tions were relayed by rap- ping or cheers, and others were straight forward. After being elected Junior Class President, Kathryn Winsman found out that she would have to move at mid-term: “I hate to leave because I ran for the sense of responsibility and I feel as though l’m abandoning my office through no fault of my own.” The honesty and dedication of Magnefs elected officials is what makes our elections and also our school so unique.

OTE ERIN WELLS FRESHMAN SECRETARY JUNIORS GO OUT AND VOTE FOR The use of “animal Magnetism” was a catchy phrase used in the elections. WE ALL NEED A HELPING HAND Friends get together and help one another to achieve their goals. UP THE STEPS TO SUCCESS. More and more posters are set up in hopes of victory. HEYI THAT ISNT GRAFFITI, IS IT? Signs sprout up everywhere trying to present a lasting impression. Must Be Maq ie£ Seeing Paufod Tta Red Towh Red The anticipation began when the tickets went on sale and posters began to ap- pear. Freshmen began scop- ing the school for dates to their first high school formal function. Sophomores and juniors, remembering the food, fun, and frolic of last year, began to prepare for the festive day. And last, but certainly not least, the sen- iors professed that they would indeed be the winners of the coveted spirit stick. Finally the day arrived: No¬ vember 20, 1987. The classes assembled in the gym for the notorious spirit rally. The music, provided by Over The Edge, was loud and the gym was hot. First, the spirit leaders ignited us with a fabulous routine full of danc- ing and cheering. Next, the infamous Decathletes were introduced and presented with gifts and balloons to show our wholehearted sup- port for them. At last, the rally began and the seniors went on to victo- ry, thanks to their united class spirit and color coordi- nation. The relay races and other games on the field followed the rally and there was plenty of food and fun for ali. The pizza provided by Key Club proved to be the best seller. The games gave the day in- teresting flair. Students had the opportunity of listening to music and watching their friends compete in the home- coming games. The day then wound down, but not for long. because students then went horne to prepare for the evening’s events. The Insatiables’ volcanic sounds were heard through- out the Hilton Inn and party- goers were everywhere. Then the grande finale — the court was announced, with Sheila Adger and Brian Blade reign- ing as Queen and King. AII in ali, homecoming was a big sucess. Senior Class Presi- dent David Golden sums it up by saying, “We proved that the class of 1988 had enough spirit and unity to make Homecoming 1987 the most successful ever.” SERIOUSLY THIS IS OUR FOOTBALL TEAM!

HOMECOMING We Have 706eU? ‘gctt 70c More SPIRIT Studying for that massive history test and stili keeping a sparkling smile on one’s face the next morning was an ex- tremely hard thing to do. When the days seemed long and tiring, remarkably enough, people could always be found laughing and keeping in tune with what senior Tim Snell be- lieved as “a spontaneous un- explainable delight!” What could this feeling be???? It could be exper- ienced as soon as one entered our hallowed halls. We have spirit leaders who amazed us with their gymnas- tic abilities and who could ever forget that indelible cha- cha’’ with Mrs. Smith. During the winter months. assemblies in the gym dis- played both class spirit and the wildest degree of pride. Spirit means much more than just football and cheer- leaders. As junior Tanya Kir- kendall described it, it’s “ela- tion at all times.” Senior Ser¬ ena Bachleitner explained what it meant to her in a single word, “individuality.” That individuality allowed people to show their true styles. Junior Jo Lynn Hester commented on the essence of school spirit as taking a chal- lenge.” So what if we don’t have a football team. We’ve proved it time and time again. Let it be known that even without a football team, we have spirit — MORE SPIRIT! MY. OH MY. PINK CHIFFON.

A Yul Brenner button that says; ‘Don’t smoke, eteetera,”’ exclaimed Dawson Cadenhead, freshman extraordinaire. brandishing his large, mustard-colored trinket. Well, the fair wasn’t the only event with socially redeeming val- ue this year; as usual, the Revel was placed in high regard as a potpourri of cultural exchange and it could be said that Magnet children picked up on the re- sources available. “It was some groovy happen- ing,” said senior Jessica Ander- son. “This year was different. I even found myself sitting down and listening to a country -n- western band.” The Red River Revel served as a melting pot, if you will, of musi- cal ideas, food concoctions, and folk art: a perfect social habita- tion for Magnet youth. If only for one week, it was a week of fes- tivities in which many Magnet youngsters, like John Osmon, participated; said he, “I think it’s one of the best ways to waste time that I have run across. Be- sides, a person can sit. eat and listen to music at the same time. What a bargain!” The Louisiana State Fair, in October, was an equally enjoy- able use of time and funds, ac- cording to senior Mike Strahan. “I like the superloop at the fair. It’s sort of like life — I can be with lots of my friends and feel nau- seous at the same time. It’s great!” he ex pounded. While vending machines, cot- ton candy, and obtrusive dealers of revealing posters tempt your every sense at the fair, the thrill of the roller coaster draws out the adventure in almost everyone; and, of course, who will ride the “Tower O’ Horrors” mystery ride? Tim Snell, bravado senior exclaimed, “I found that there are worse things that can happen to me than getting hit by a penny dropped off of the Empire State Building.” With talent like Kenny Stinson, Raymond Blake, Irma Thomas, and Trout Fishing in America, the Revel needs not boast nor brag. Above the melodies on the park- way, one could smell shrimp, rice, turkey, and fried potatoes. I can’t wait until next year,” junior Bryan Wayt said with a smile, knowing the profound ret- rospect that these Louisiana fes- tivals have already bestowed upon him.

Oh, That ' 2 ' UdtUf s4 uC ScUunttcuf Weekend (ZnetUe 0 u4Soc4 t Fun 2W. “I consider it a light at the end of the tunnel - it’s always fun,” spouted senior Curt Jeffery with just a hint of sarcasm. Weekend fun. This could be considered an ambiguous phrase. But to determine what, in actuality, is ambiguous we must first analyze the accused (and, in America, a phrase is innocent until proven guilty); so, with mockery in the backseat, dissection shall occur. Weekend; a word meaning end of the week, as in Friday or Saturday or maybe even a Sunday. Fun: oh, here ’tis the prob- lem! What does the word “fun” mean? In practical application, fun means different things to different folks. Therefore, the term cannot be tied down or boxed in with only one definition but instead - we shall discover the “differential fun” that occurs at the ritualistic festival of the weekend. Weekend fun. This could be considered an ambiguous phrase. But to determine what, in actuality, is ambiguous we must first analyze the accused (and, in America, a phrase in innocent until proven guilty); so, with mockery in the backseat, dissection shall occur. Weekend fun consists of many variables. Among these are the places where weekend fun happens, activities of weekend fun, and general purposes of weekend fun. But, contrary to popular belief, the workings of weekend fun have little or nothing to do with the place, instead it is the people. And that ' s what it’s ali about isn’t it? People. Yes. it’s an ethereal experience - sort of metaphysically cosmic. It doesn ' t really matter where we go or what we do - we all just have groovin’ bloo d in our veins, murmured senior Timothy Snell with a grin of folkish happiness. Some people meet at a friend’s house or one of the many social cubby holes to talk over the week, recreate themselves, fall into a state of deep transcendentalism (which is characteris- tic of free-thinking magnet youth). So, in retrospect, weekend fun is purely individualistic; it all depends upon a person’s ideal of enjoying themselves whether it be alone or with comrades. THERE S A HIPPO ON THE CEILING!

OH. THAT WEEKEND FUN A Singular SfaevefuvU, Ttat £xact£y Cultural Sut StM Experience Tt vitA, 76 e SW ?twe New York has Central Park, San Diego has a zoo, Dallas has Six Flags. What most people want to know is - What does Shreveport have? We have a hot and spicy culture. Yes, hid- den away in the cracks and crevices of Shreveport is the ex- citement that only those who seek will find. “It’s located in small crowded cafes like Freeman and Harris or MurrelCs, where you always run into an old friend and the food is always good and greasy,” says senior, Susan Shepherd. “I enjoy sinking my teeth into a hot Natchitoches meat pie or spending an afternoon at ob- serving the Remingtons at Nor¬ ton Art Gallery, adds Julianne Davis. From Marjorie Lyons to Mur- rell’s to Meadows Museum, Shreveporfs culture surrounds us and no other school appreci- ates it, supports it, and partici- pates in it quite like Magnet. Mr. Robert Trudeau, author for three years of “Dancing Shoes in Upstate, and current- ly author of the Savory Truffle” in the Shreveport Journal ex- plains, Magnet students ‘go out,’ that is, they go to cultural events of all kinds rather than, say, only going to the movies or parties. I cover nightlife of all levels for local newspapers and I always see Magnet students taking advantage of the best of Shreveport.,” Most Magnet students seem to gather at popular restaurants such as Enoch ' s or Edward St. Grocery, where their favorite band is playing. And why are the students more involved around town? Senior Timo- mothy Lafferty thinks its be- cause we don’t focus on sports. We focus on scholastics, more mind forming things. We learn more culture and study it, so we enjoy it.” Mr. Trudeau attributes our culturally-minded students to the mood of the campus. “The atmosphere is positive, growth- oriented, and somewhat adven- turous.” Teachers, students and alum¬ ni all contribute to the web of culture that seems to exist at our school. Larry Pannell, in- strumental music instructor, has been teaching at Magnet two years now. He has his own sev- en piece dance band as well as playing for the Shreveport Jazz Ensemble. He thinks the stu¬ dents here are receptive. “The students that come to me tend to be here for a reason. They want to learn. I teach to quench their thirsts. It ' s just great to get up in the morning and teach to such talented kids.” Monica Cheslak, a dancer for various companies around town and a senior at Magnet, takes ballet and tap at Centenary on Tuesdays and Thursdays, dur- ing 3rd period. “Magnet offers many culturally enriching pro- grams. And, as in my case, those they can’t provide, ar- rangements are made to meet the students needs.” SPICE OF LIFE ENOOTS-THE CAFE THAT WON ' T CLOSE.

The room was stagnant, apprehensive, silently awaiting this apathetic band’s .... Wait just a minute here! Let’s put this puppy in reverse! What exactly was going on here? In this one auditorium, some tarnation weird events were occurring. Two girls were wearing nothing but their long johns and boxer shorts wrapped in Saran Wrap singing a song with a vacuum cleaner hose protruding from their plastic skins! There was this big choir-type group singing The Twelve Days of Christmas but they didn’t get the words right; instead, they sang about Sadie Hawkins and a teacher named Ms. Rounds, and speaking of Ms. Rounds .. . She turned up again in this showdown between the math teachers led by a varmint named Mr. Scott (Chris Keller) and the English teachers who were following this Pre-1970 ' s hippie fellow named Mr. Trudeau (Mike Strahan). Goodness gracious I was confused about the whole ordeal so I decided to ask around . ‘lt is just great,” offered Congressional hopeful Stan Tiner. “I never realized that there was so much talent at Magnet. I have enjoyed ali of it, especially the singers and Faculty Follies. Being a child of the sixties though, I loved Puff the Magic Dragon I thought it was very elever. Well, Pilgrim, I stili wasn’t too ciear on much of anything that I saw, except maybe for the singers and dancers, and of course Nancy Wilkinson with that aluminum “Bee-bop” bow on her head. The one thing that stili bothers me though is that bunch of dress-clad men that they had at that Senior Showcase. Despite the negative connotations of the words. Magnet seems to be brimming with guys in high heels and short skirts. From the Drags at Way Out West to Booladoowangda Laird, Ugly Miss 1988, cross-dressing has become the calling card of the school. Yes, sports fans, it’s Ugly Miss, that special time of year when those special Magnet boys come out of the closet flaunting their true colors and new bodies. Ugly Miss ’88 marked the returns of such fabulous favorites as the Divine Darla Davis, the Mouthwatering Melanie Strahan and the Jazzy Jasmine Hobley. Guided by hosts Carmita Coleman, Penny Grigsby, Leah Lewis and Bart Marable, the lust-filled audience was treated to spectacles such as Female Pseudo-Mudwrestling from Muffy Bokenfohr and Fluffy 0’Callaghan and exotic bellydancing from Claire Walker, Patricia Williams and Robin Wolcott. An evening of surprise, it was, when the audience was riddled with water balloons from some distressed ladies unable to accept the fact that they were not selected as semi-finalists. Backstage, the amazements continued when an unidentified interloper (dressed in policeman’s garb) accosted the helpless, handicapped Helen Keller. . .

IS THERE LIFE ARER HIGH SCHOOL Trying To SttUfiay Si ty£e Make Those Love SeetttecC Connections Most people agree that weaving through the loving couples in the hall was some- what tiresome. Some couples find it necessary to be slightly affectionate with one another, to help each other get through the day to be sure. The student body had many ways to help originate a rela- tionship. One being Sadie Hawkins. Ah — a chance for the females to get top priority instead of waiting on him to ask for the date. In addition, to Sadie Hawkins, leap year feli this year and gave Magnet girls, as well as bachelorettes around the world, a chance to snag themselves a bachelor.

Ev- eryone was given a sheet con- taining different types of per- sonality questions which were submitted back to the S.G.A. The much anticipated results arrived revealing the compati- bility of the students with one another. While some students were shocked and excited by their possible mates, others questioned the reliability of the Service. As did Byron Connell who said, “You can’t rely on those things. I don’t even know these people.” Stili in all it was another example of an innovative S.G.A. idea. Soci- ology students got a taste of the married scene. For exam¬ ple, students were married and given a certain budget to live with. Miss Susan Keith, who sponsored the project said, of it, “It gives the kids a chance to learn manageability of money and the lessons of sacrifice. Although the Soci- ology love connections were a mockery, one Magnet senior decided to make her relation- ship permanent. Pam Nether- ton became Mrs. Mark Miley on March 12, 1988. There was also another spectrum of romance, those which seemed to go on for months and months, but when asked if there were dating nei- ther persons ever really know. “It ' s a very delicate situation. It’s also very hard to detine ex- actly what a relationship is. I figure if you go out with a girl for five months you are dating; anything after that you are an official couple,” explained the wise voice of Sr. Darren Davis. People expressed their af- fection in many different ways. The most popular way amongst Seniors was certainly the exchanging of Senior rings. It’s hard to believe that everyone waited three and a half years for the honor of that ring, and soon after receiving it, they give it to their mate. I guess the old adage is correct, LOVE is blind. But I wonder if maybe it’s deaf, dumb, and blind, too. ROLE REVERSAL. Seniors Meg McJunckins and Scott Peatross have plenty to smile about on Ugly Miss night! SPICE OF LIFE THE GREAT OUTDOORS.

QUESTION: Can you match the correct holiday to cJefinitions below? (Note: the holidays are not neces- sarily in chronological order.) Holiday 1: Students are let loose a week to prepare for and celebrate the death of a native American Bird. This symbolizes our gratitude for our good fortune. Trips to Grandmother’s house are most frequent during this time. “I went to visit my grandparents in N.Y., said Jason Pharr. He also comment- ed that the Empire State Building is as tali as they say it is. Half of this day is spent in starving anticipation and the other half in la- menting the sin of gluttony. “There is so much food, I was so full I just went to sleep.” said senior Emery Geyer. (No doubt to escape being miserably full.) Holiday 2: This occurs precisely one week after Holiday 4. Most of the celebrating goes on at night. “We get a bunch of guys together and go looking for a party, laughed senior Scott Peatross. Some argue that this is not a real holiday, but as sophomore Mickey Ray put it, “Its’ a great excuse to eat, drink, and be merry!” This evening shuffles out the old and welcomes the new. Holiday 3: On this day, within A- Wing, God is seen entering the school restroom, and a boy dressed in drag speaks quietly to Mr. Gar- rett. Down by Mr Scott’s room, someone donning a rather large overcoat and a crazed grin points at a young lad and whispers, “Hey, you! I got something to Show you! Before the youth can make an es¬ cape, he is flashed and left stand- ing there, stunned. One mad flasher, junior Penny Grigsby. confessed, “Even though I had to be persuaded to dress up, i had so much fun!” (After this holi¬ day there is an abundance of tiny cellophane-wrapped candies around campus.) Holiday 4: Someone put pea- nuts on the fire! (Chestnuts are so expensive!) A little man runs around sinking his teeth into people ' s noses. Despite this, a warm feeling settles over most everyone as the spirit , quite contagious at this time of year, overtakes them. Love of na¬ ture is shown as many bring live trees (imagine) into their homes. Families gather ' round and lovingly adorn the tree with strings of electric lights and plastic ornaments with the “made in Hong Kong tags carefully peeled away. We usually put the tree up as a family deal, but we’re not too anx- ious to this year because it ' s a mess to get down, said senior Dan Walk- er. It can be a hassle to get the tree down, but certainly it is a time for family. The unravelling of tree lights, not a one-man job, often can be made to six, seven. and maybe even eight people! On this holiday morn- ing (following an evening when peo¬ ple used to sing door-to-door), gifts are discovered under the tree. These were carried in through the chimney by a rather chubby and cherubic fellow decked out in red fur. ANSWERS: New Year’s Eve Christmas Thanksgiving Halloween SPICE OF LIFE SANTA ' S HELPER.

Student pilot Morgan Allison prepares to take-off in an A- 10 at Barksdale A.F.B. SPICE OF LIFE Not everyone can produce a two-dollar bili from a regular one-dollar bili or meet RUSH or even write a famous novel. After a thorough, tiring, frus- trating, aggravating, but bene- ficial search through the corri- dors of Magnet High, I found numerous talented people. The following is a list of homo sapiens and their notable ac- complishment. Several writers were discov- ered with hands holding stubs of pencils and with faces con- templating famous quotes for their works. One such person was Rex Burks, who piaced first in his division for his entry titled “This Business of the Family for the International Youth Journalism Contest sponsored by “Youth Maga- zine . Gee, isn’t that great and that’s not ali. Minette Burks wrote This Time for a national novel competition for teen- agers and piaced in the top twenty of over four hundred entries. “Right now l’m work- ing on revising it to the point where it will make me rich and famous and selfish and con- ceited,” is what Minette has replied. How’s that for a goal?”. Get her autograph while she is stili in our area. Then there were also people like Bart Marable, whose Christmas card was used by Channel 12 for the holiday viewers. Why did he do it? It was for fun and, probably most important of all, he won a Family Ties Jacket. As ev¬ eryone would expect, he has several copies of this card at horne; A piece of paper with a poem, crayon-drawn picture, or a two-word over-used phrase on its surface. And there were people like James Chico and Morgan Alli- son who won contests that are out of the ordinary. James won a RUSH guitar by calling 98 ROCKS. It was signed by Alex Leifson and Getty Lee from the band, whom he got to meet backstage. Morgan’s Dungeons and Dragons team won first place at Barksdale on October 17. He said it was a way to escape from reality and nothing is more unreal than a game like this. Later Morgan decided to play for fun and to win tournaments. He participated most recently on his birthday. Coincidence? Maybe. Now, for your extreme pleasure, there were more monsters and stuff like this go- ing on that month too. Margie Lillya was a voodoo cultist last October at the fair. It’s the thrill of scaring people that fascinates her. She and about sixty other people took the challenging task of being the reason little kids have night- mares. “It’s a real rush when people come screaming at you.” No carbon based descen¬ dant of the apes can forget our Will Etheredge. He not only performed in the Revel, but also he went to Corpus Christi, Texas, where he won first place in the under-18 divi¬ sion of TAOM. You may won- der if TAOM stands for Those Abnormal Orange Mangoes, but it is really the Texas Asso- ciation of Magic that he per¬ formed for on Labor Day. And if this wasn ' t enough to fulfill one’s expectations for a magi- REALITY OR ILLUSION?

A VERY LONG time ago, when the Revel was just a child, Will, as a fourth grader, met a clown. This suspectingly ordinary clown put Will under a magical spell when he start- ed pulling coins out of Will’s pockets. Naturally Will was im- pressed like a regular fourth grader would be, as he knew he didn’t have any money in his pockets to begin with. The fact that the clown didn’t keep the money excited Will. This clown pulled out his handker- chief and waved it in front of our young Will and, unexpect- edly, ten half dollars feli out. This clown was never seen or heard of again. Now, Will has performed for teachers such as Dr. Bratton, Miss Keith, and Mr. Pardue. I am happy to re- port that no teachers have dis- appeared. Don ' t forget, no matter where you go, there you are. Say You Tttayuet Studente Want A PC iy S wte Revolution ‘PatettcaC We interrupt this yearbook to bring you the latest political gos- sip and, yes, of course, news. Var- ious sources in Baton Rouge have said that ex-governor Edwin Ed- wards will give-up politics to pur- sue a lite of religious fulfillment. Yeah, he’s gonna be a television evangelist, yeah, yeah, that’s the ticket. In other reports, Sopho- more English teacher, Mary Rounds, will be giving up teaching to become a professional mis- tress of ceremonies for the state of Louisiana .... no, the United _no, the world, yeah that’s it. Governor Buddy Roemer is not only busy trying to balance the budget, he’s working to move the capital of Louisiana from Baton Rouge to New ... no, to Shreve ... no, to Zwolle, yeah, that’s the ticket. Governor Roemer is also trying to buy a new song for the state of Louisiana. He’s gonna buy the rights to Revolution ” for $2,000,000, no, for 90,000,000, no ... $500,000,000, yeah, that’s the ticket. Ticket! Lottery ticket, in Louisi¬ ana? Politics in Louisiana affects the lives of everyone young or old. The gubernatorial election, for in- stance, managed to amaze just about everyone with the an- nouncement that Buddy Roemer won. Senior Cathryn Hali was “Ecstatic” when she heard the news. ‘‘AII I can really say is yay, go Buddy go!” Cathryn added. This sentiment was shared by many people who saw Roemer’s win as a turning point for the state of Louisiana. Locally, the fourth district Con- gressional race tried to carry on the views of the Roemer cam- paign. Even closer to horne, Mag- net’s own Jon and Heather Tiner became personally involved in the election when their father, former editor of the Shreveport Journal, announced his candidacy. “It was a lot of work, but it was enjoyable for the whole family,” were Jon’s thoughts on the election. “We grew a lot closer through the whole thing,” added Heather. Stan Tiner’s showing in the elec¬ tion was quite good considering this was his first try for a political office. Is there a possibility of Mr. Tiner running for another office? Other Magnet students became involved in the Congressional race too. Seniors Sherry Pool, Becki Evans, and Jeannie Rohrbaugh worked on the Jim McCrery cam- paign taking phone calls and deli- vering signs. “We worked all day on election day, it was really ex- citing,” commented Sherry Pool. “I felt kind of guilty working for Jim McCrery, since Jon’s father was running, but, oh well, that’s politics,” added Sherry.

The year opened with That Senior Deal, the seniors ver- sion of game shows, which had the girls cheering at the antics of the wet t shirt contest as well as the other features in their varied production. The audiences found a different type of humor when the drama department presented School for Scandal, a Restoration comedy by Richard Sheridan. The crowds came cheering, but for a different reason; ex¬ tra credit made a great incen¬ tive. Once again, the seniors overwhelmed crowds with Way Out West, the laughter lead into the final act, Velvet Elvis, which left fans breath- less. Ugly Miss provided laughs as well as carrying on the tradition the juniors pass down each year. And in the end, there was Once Upon a Mattress. Crowds poured into the audi¬ torium to see Brandon as King Sextimus the Silent, the mute King. Each production gave us laugh after glorious laugh and they gave the generation to come a hard act to follow. TOUCH UPS.

DEADLINES Gimme 7 ' te Seat Sdtttttt i Summer SaC tice Learnin’ Stcuietite Sc uM ay This past summer was much more than time spent loafing and stagnating to many Mag- net students. Instead it be- came an age of learning, a rev- elation in the knowledge of lite by the means of a summer school course, a camping ex- perience, a pilgrimage to a for- eign country, or a little military training. AII of this learning and more was experienced by Magnet students; a potpourri of excitement. Senior Chris Davis learned about the military in the sum¬ mer of 1987. He spent nine weeks at Fort Bliss in EI Paso, Texas, participating in rigor- ous training exercises of the National Guard. ‘ ' Making money and tuition exemption at LSU Baton Rouge helped me see my way through learn¬ ing about discipline and re- sponsibilities,” he grunted with a look of enthusiasm etehed across his face. Grant Summers, charismat- ic Senior, went to summer school at Fair Park in order to make up a class, while other students took extra classes to improve on their already highly polished education. Said he, “It was sort of comforting to finish a class under such re- laxed conditions, and I actual- ly learned something!” Junior Stace Feducia went to Jamaica with many other Magnateers such as David Golden, sophomore Lassiter Mason, and senior Nancy Wil- kinson. They all participated in mission work for their church, First Methodist, who spon- sored the trip so the vibrant young adults could build a much needed school for the impoverished area. Stace Fe¬ ducia squealed her elated message, “I learned a lot about other people and my- self, how to get along with oth- ers, and how to haul dirt. I also learned that every Jamaican has a garden in his back yard.” Seniors Lee Walker and Tra- cey Widiger also spent their summers missioning. Tracey worked with children in the Dominican Republic while Lee enjoyed the children of the Spanish slums in Houston, Texas. Lee felt that the roaches were a bit of a prob- lem, but when asked to com¬ pare them with the children she worked with she simply stated, “Oh gosh, they were worse!” Counseling happy campers and parading a positive role model was the position seniors Shayne Berry and Billy Vines occupied at Yah Tah Hey camp in Minden, Louisiana. The camp, for junior high stu¬ dents, was sponsored by local Methodist churches. Shayne taught a class in how to make Indian bread. Said she, “I real- ly enjoyed making Indian bread for the kids, I sort of soaked up old Indian tradition while learning from the kids. I got fat eating the bread, too. DOIN ' THE ZOO. Senior Jennifer Keene and a friend from California spent time at debate camp at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. During their free time they frequented the city’s famous zoo.

No matter what mali, which fast food Chain, or grocery market a person goes to, nine times out of ten, there will be Magnet students employed there. Having a job has its advantages and its disadvantages. One obvi- ous advantage is the paychecks received every one to two weeks. More advantages are gaining re- sponsibility and learning to follow a schedule. The three major dis¬ advantages about having a job are lack of social life, lack of time for studying and or homework, and last, but not least, having a boss. As far as the advantages go, having money is pretty self ex- planatory, in that we all like to spend it; and basically, if we don’t have it- it can not be spent. Mooching off your parents gets frustrating and old really fast. And not having money around your friends makes you feel like a leech. “If I did not have the spending money I get from my job going out on weekends would be pointless,” said Junior Scott Ma- son. Having a job is definitely a growing experience that teaches a great deal of responsibility. For instance, senior Amy Chrietzberg said, “My dad makes me work because he feels it makes me more independent.” No free time to sit around and be a couch potato is one major disadvantage. “I hate thinking each day at 2:30 that I stili have to go to work instead of getting to go horne and sleep,” said senior John Osmon. Then there is having to work on the weekends when all your friends are out having fun. Kim Clikas said, “I hate hearing about everyone’s pians for the night, when all I can think about is having to work.” Finding a boss that you can get along with is another problem in finding a job. Senior Debbie Haines quit her job because, “my assistant manager was always hassling me and keeping me late at work which interfered with my school work. Having a job definitely has its good and bad points. But a lot of people stick with it just to have the extra money to spend.

On Saturday night, May 7, 1988, at the LSUS Ballroom, the junior class pre- sented the junior-senior prom, “Till The End Of Time. ' ’ Juniors clad in shorts and T- shirts began decorating around ten a.m. Saturday morning. Although they had bags under their eyes, they transformed the room to col- ors of peach and green. The hard work was completed late in the afternoon and the ju¬ niors rushed horne or over to a friend’s house to “dress to kill” as senior Jennifer McMul- len stated. At nine p.m. the ballroom doors opened to admit cou- ples who had arrived early. Dressed in formals and tux- edos, they danced to music provided by David Egan and the Yat. The highlight of the evening was the announcement of prom court. Seniors Brian Blade and Shayne Berry reigned as King and Queen of their prom. Their court includ- ed junior lords Troy Bradford, Rob Wolcott, Guy Hamilton, Curtis Bias, and ladies Sunny Smith, Caria Matthews, Leann Planchock, and Tonya Kirken- doll. The evening ended at one a.m. and the couples left to eat breakfast at various places around town. When the doors of the ballroom closed that night, the 1988 junior-senior prom became a memory to last in our minds “Till The End Of Time.” SPICE OF LIFE IF MOM COULD SEE ME NOW.

That’s what many Seniors asked themselves on May 17, 1988, the last school day for them at Magnet. At the beginning of the year it seemed as though the 1987- 1988 school year would nev- er end, but anticipation soon turned into sadness as the Seniors soon found the end of the year was only around the corner. The yearly events seemed to mean so much more to the Seniors of 1988. The first event, Homecoming started the year off with a very fes¬ tive occasion. Next in line came the Christmas season. At that time some Seniors began to realize that was their last Christmas together as an entire class. To finish off the more formal occa- sions, Prom arrived. The theme was “TILL THE END OF TIME” and some Seniors began to wish that they could stay together for just that long. It seemed as though as the year grew closer to the end there were more things to do and more deadlines to meet. In early May the Senior “goo- dies” began to arrive. For ex- ample, caps and gowns were I ALL TOGETHER!! That ' s exactly what the Seniors of 1988 felt as they stand here on the steps of Municipal Auditorium before the graduation exercises began. SPICE OF LIFE distributed as well as gradu- ation invitations and the class flower, theme, colors, motto, and song was cho- se n. Next the voting for the usual Senior “dignitary” po- sitions occurred. Then finally, the one day at school that a Senior can really lay back, the Senior picnic. Although this certain day was not school sponsored. many Seniors felt it necessary to visit the “doctor on April 29, 1988. But to the Seniors of 1988, no date was more important than May 30, 1988. There were mixed feelings about graduation amongst the Seniors. As Beth Bundy was most commonly noted for counting down the days until graduation, others ex- pressed feelings of anxiety about leaving their friends of four or more years. No mat- ter what the feelings were about after graduation, one thing was for sure .... Mag- net was about to turn out into the world 281 of the bright- est students there were to of¬ fer.

Once upon a time there was a youqg man named Goldilocks Brat- ton, whose amber locks were long sincd gone and who actually pre- ferred to be called Dr. Bratton be- cause it sounded more masculine. Anyway, there were these nine de cathletes who lived in a forest, but it wasn’t actually a forest; it was more like a typical American high school. But the point is that they lived and played and worked and studied things like math and economics there, and they did these things to better their knowledge and wisdom so that they could journey to Never Never Land (also known as San Ant¬ onio, Texas), where there would be a great competition of decathletes from all across the country to deter- mine the most academically fit stu- dents in the nation. Unfortunately, there existed one slight obstacle to overcome before the decathletes could fly away to Never Never Land; they had to win the state decathlon competition. But that task was easily accomplished with the help of their friends and coaches, Tinkerbell, Peter Pan and Mary Poppins-Rounds — Mr. Sellers, Mr. Belanger and Ms. Rounds, respec- tively. In fact, it was Magnefs sixth consecutive year to win at the state level. As you can well imagine, there was much pomp and circumstance about the victory. In fact, Mayor Hus- sey issued a special proclamation dedicating the day to the decath¬ letes! One can only try to compre- hend the prestige and reputation that those dedicated students had to assume, having a day named for them and all. So once again, they studied things like math and econom¬ ics and fine arts, and they ate more Taco Bell food. And this time Tinker¬ bell sprinkled his magic pixie dust and whisked the decathletes away to Coach Vannie Edward’s camp in Ar- kansas. Once at the camp, the decathletes (minus three) worked and studied and played some more. And they were obnoxious with the camera and they bathed in a pond, to which Mary Poppins-Rounds replied, “EEEEEEEOOOOHHH!!!!! “I think that the trip to the camp really brought us together and made us a real team, commented Richard Murphy at a study meeting. Of course a team effort was essen- tial to the success of the decathletes, but was there anything else that would have a major impact on the happy ending to this story? “I think that the trip to San Anto¬ nio will be quite pleasurable if the hotel is nice and provides us with complimentary bottles of shampoo,” Peter Pan Belanger remarked. “It will be a lively experience, and there will probablv be a little mixer where the teams will be able to sample the local fare, which will consist of hot tamales and some other Mexican foods.” CHEESEBtRGER IN PARADISE.

This year at Magnet, we have been given the honor of having success measured by both quantity and quality. Ten of Magnefs seniors were chosen to be National Merit Finalists.

The ten National Meit Finalists include: Jill Bettinger, Krista Clements, Keith Crow, Penny Ewoldson, Jennifer Hevelone, Sarah Jones, Tahia Khan, Elizabeth McKinney, Scott Wilcox, and Peter Williams. Chosen as National Merit candidates through their PSAT scores, then the student is recommended by the principal and a coun- selor. The National Merit Finalists are then selected. “AU I know is I scored high on the PSAT and the next thing I know, I’m a Na¬ tional Merit Semi Finalist, said Sr. Liz McKinney. Of these ten students, Krista Clements was chosen to be a National Merit Scholar. This honor evokes many privileges and opportuni- ties. Because of being a National Merit Scholar, I was offered a full scholarship to Baylor, so it definitely paid off!”, said Krista Clements. Sr. Tracey Widiger was presented with the DAR award for good citizenship and Erin En- nis was state winner in the 1988 Oratorical Contest. l’pon receiving her reward Tracey said, “It made my buns tingle.” Stephanie Williams, Romney Norwood, and Shannon Hicks were chosen as National Achievement Students. Laverne Ferdinand was chosen as student of the month of Octo¬ ber by the Elks Club. These acclaimed students of Magnet have boosted our spirits, giving faith to those fail- ing hopes in education, and helped with the Revolution sweeping Louisiana. STATE ARTS T- Squares And India Ink One of the best aspects of Magnet is the extensive selection of art classes. A student has the choice between drawing, pottery, fibers, painting and mixed media, once out of Art I. This provides for the student whose main interest is art, a well-rounded and practically complete training for later years. Mr. Edward Allen and Mrs. Barbara Schlidt do their best to encourage their students and aid them anyway they can. They make sure the supplies their students need are there, and that each student understands their assignment fully. Not only are students taught styles of art, art techniques and individuality in the art department, they are also taught terminology. “Our students leam to speak intelligently about their artwork and are encouraged to do so as often as they can. I get embarrassed if they don’t,” Mr. Allen States. The art department is always willing to help when decorations, supplies or other artistic skills are needed by another department. Our art department is very special and outstanding. lt’s an expression of Magnefs qualities. “Push them Pentels!” cries Mr. Tuminello, “know what I mean, jellybean?” Drafting class has now begun. Magnefs drafting department is composed of three levels. There’s Basic Drafting, where the fundamentals of drafting, such as measurements and use of equipments. Then there’s Architectural Drafting, where students develop the pians for a house completely. Advanced Technical Drafting is for the students with two years experience in the course. Students enrolled in this course delve into the more difficult aspects of drafting. This class deals more with the engineering side than the others do. Each year, drafting students participate in the Craftsmans Fair at Northwestern University. Their whole year is spent preparing for the fair, and, of course, Magnet sweeps every award.

VP FOR REEVALiATION ...In Mr. Allens mixed media classes, it is required that each student evaluate his or her own work. Sophomore Eric Patrick concentrates on his task. K eep Playing The Tunes. Song and dance. Mystery and suspense. Each goes alongside one another. In every theatrical performance the audience is guided along with music. Be it happy, comedic, sad, or scary, the music is a part of every presen- tation. Music sings a song. It allows the imagina- tion to be prodded along with a sense of direction. Today kids identify with music as a release of emotions or an escape from reality. Many dance to music, study with music and just relax with music. Last year a program was developed for the ’86-’87 school year. The Student Artist in Resi¬ dente Program. This study, of the piano de- partment, would be an independent study to allow the student(s) a greater expansion of musical knowledge. Eager participant and or- ganizer of the program, Jordan Pennington explains the benefits received, “The Student Artist in Residence Program has been a great force in motivating me to pursue my goal to be a concert artist.” Now, on the backswing to music, theatre also allows a certain escape. Theatre, for some, allows people to be in one place at one time, while stili maintaining their own sepa¬ rate identity. One person, all in the day’s work may kill, love, and betray and never have to deal with the heartache and conse- quences of their actions. “This year the theatre that has been pre- sented has given not only the actors, but the audience, a release of energy and emotions and also allows entertainment,” says senior Penny Ewoldson. The hand in hand relationship of music and theatre gives many people the alley to direct their emotions toward and in return many others benefit from this expression. JOHNNY, COME BLOW YOUR HORN!

MUSIC J he Quiz Kids Bowls play an important part in our lives; without them, our soup would spill in our laps, and there would be no reason for Su¬ per Bowl parties. Try to imagine Hollywood without the Hollywood Bowl, the Pro-Bowlers Associ- ation without bowling balls, or Caddo Magnet without the Quiz Bowl team. The LSUS-hosted Quiz Bowl was dominated by Brad Brazzeal, Penny Ewoldsen, Vu Hoang, Chrissie Scarpinatto and alter- nates Michael Anderson and Bri- an Basinger. The team defeated Captain Shreve in the final round and boasted of holding a mini¬ mum 80-point lead over ali other competitors throughout the com- petition. “Woodlawn dropped out after they saw us,” laughed Chrissie about the victory. “We stomped everyone!” Because of the victory, the team had a choice of attending either the State Quiz Bowl in New Orleans or the National Aca- demic Tournament at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Of course, we are going to Disney World! exclaimed team coach Mrs. Sonja Webb. “The State De¬ partment of Education invited us. The Academic Tournament, unlike the broadranging Quiz Bowl, consisted of several spe- cialized categories on scholastic subject. This team, including de- cathletes Amy Levine and Jenni- fer Hevelone, left in early June and were excited about the pros- pects of the trip. Each member of the winning team could win Ap¬ ple computer and a $2000 schol- arship. “In addition, we get to go to Disney World, said Amy with a grin, “and we get free t-shirts, too. Just a week after school was over, the team made front-page news in the morning paper, for the locals had placed fourth in the nation. Mrs. Webb’s pride in the team’s accomplishment was evident, “They were just super. Sounds as though they belong in the Celebrity Bowl. STATE OF THE ARTS ■■■■ GO, TEAM!

Of course, no magnet high school in its right collective mind would be complete without its own elitist corps. And certainly no morning announcement sheet would be complete without the merits of their endeavors. They pounded. They ham- mered. They mercilessly annihi- lated their less than formidable opponents at contests in Pine- ville, Lake Charles and New Or- leans. They astounded judges and peers with their debating prow- ess on the subject of Latin Amer¬ ica, The 1988 Topic of Discussion for debaters nation wide. No mat- ter the exotic locale, no matter the rugged competition, no mat¬ ter the matter, the debate team consistently rolled to victory un¬ der the leadership of Mr. (Coach) Don Belanger. But what of their classroom time when those exemplary elite young minds were not debating themselves into oblivion? How did the omnipotent debaters pass their time? Oh, we have mock trials for demerits and bad conduct,” said Jennifer Dopson, a former debat- er. For the most part, classroom time was spent honing oratory skills, fine-tuning research notes, heckling fellow debaters about the identity of the best debater, and recording the quotes of Brady 0’Callaghan for posterity. On the weekends when free from grueling tournaments, de¬ baters could be found consiring strategies for the annual Magnet- Loyola softball game, which Mag¬ net easily won this year. “We destroyed them!” ex- claimed homerun hitter Randy Moore. “They never had a chance.” And so often, Randy’s state- ment was true for every debate tournament. BOWLING EM OVER “Good morning, Sir,” resounds through the breezeway as Captain Tommy Fanning sa¬ lutes his superior, Major Tony Means. They salute only while in uniform, but that is al- most every Wednesday. What ROTC does seems to be quite a my- stery around Magnet campus. “1 see them in their uniforms, said senior Meg McJunkins, “but I don’t really know what ROTC is ali about”. They are very active, according to Lieutenant Colonei Jerry Bryant. Jerry is in the Pathfinders, a group of about 15 who go on “patror in the woods. Patrol is sort of like a game. They divide into two teams, 8-10 men each, with an offense and a defense. The defense team has a position, such as a house, to defend. The offense tries to capture the position by launching attacks. Although most people do not see ROTC do- ing much, there is much to do. In addition to the Pathfinders there are the color guard, the orienteering team, the rifle team, the saber corps, and the drill team. THE PATHFINDERS.

I want to be physically fit , that sounds like reason enough to take gym, but Magnet’s Physical education department is so diverse that some people take gym just because it sounds interesting. Of course the freshmen and sophomores are required to take gym, but why would so many upperdassmen take a class that requires them to get real sweaty every day? “Because it enlightens my day , beamed senior Elizabeth Lawrence, I enjoy tennis and I wanted the time to plav . Tennis is just one aspect of Magnets P.E. depatt- ment. Feneing, not offered at any other school in Caddo Parish, is not just a physical sport. You really have to use your mind , said freshman Chris Griffin. One more fascinating aspect of the P.E. department is golf. “Golf is sueh a relaxing sport, said senior Chris Da- vis. “The class is so mellow, I ' m really glad I took it.

The Career Center students at- tended state competition in Baton Kouge this year as well as nation- al competition in Salt Lake City, l ' tah. In order to attend these competitions students presented projects on marketing. Over 100 schools from the Louisiana area participated in Baton Kouge. Senior Christy Ginn was an ac¬ tive member in the Career Center program this year. When asked what one of the many benefits of the program brought to her, she replied, ‘‘It helped me to be able to speak more openly about my- self because you have to present yourself to the buyer. I also learned about business machines and public relations.” Sounds like a promising program for more students to participate in.

H ighest State Of Minds In the summer of 1987, a select group of Magnet Seniors attended the Louisiana Boys’ and Girls’ State. In essence, this program is set up by the state for high school students to get an on hand ap- proach to the go vernment of an imaginary state in which they themselves create. The students upon arrival are separated into an all girl state and an all boy state. From there they elect gov¬ ernment officials and design a twin city project. Other than planning a project, the students visited the Capitol building and attended a lecture given by Gov- ernor Edwin Edwards. The Seniors who participated in this years convention for the Girls’ State were Jennifer Rowe, Kim Werthermen, Krista Kle- ments, Jin Ok, and LaVerne Fer- dinand. Attending the Boys’ State convention were Brian Basinger, David Golden, and Scott Wilcox. When asked of her experience at Girls’ State Jennifer Rowe re- plied, “You hardly got any sleep, you do a lot of work, and you do a lot of walking but it was a good experience. It helps you to see how you would act in a given political situation.” Perhaps Mag¬ net will be turning out many fine politicans due to this convention. RAISE YOUR HANDS!

It’s just a put on. Math and Science explore our inner- most secrets and explain things we can’t see with the plain eye. Concepts of the imagina- tion and of the real world are somewhat relat¬ ed through formulas and figures. According to Mr. Scott, a multi-math teacher, each student has the key to infinite knowledge. It all de- pends on if we “sit on our intelligence and block the door to expanded intelligence. The mathematical and scientific explana- tions of space, biology, and alas chemistry, whether we admit it or not, open doors for our futures. Advance technology for medicine helps save people’s lives and engineering im- provements help efficiently produce economi- cally sound medical equipment. All of this couldn’t be possible without our friendly equations, logarithms, and series of experiments. No pain, no gain as they say, right?

Laverne Ferdinand, senior, specified, “Ac- tually it ' s a competition to test the aeademic knowledge of students in the Northwest Lou- isiana area.” WHERES THE BUS? Literary Rally students await their ride to take them to the competition in Natchitoches at NSU. In the wee hours of March 12, 1988 coma- tose zombies filed lethargically on to the two Caddo Parish School buses patiently waiting to whisk the students away to Northwestern State University. As the sprawling metropolis, Shreveport, Louisiana, faded into the dis- tance and the buses rattled south down High- way 1, the bleary-eyed students attempted to study their texts, but most just tried to sleep. Oh heralded Northwestern! It finally ar- rived! Suddenly the veil of lethargy was lift- ed, and the travelers were faced with two objectives: find the bathrooms and survive the tests. During the following three hours the stu¬ dents were subjected to a harrowing schedule of rigorous testing and manic boredom. The rally sponsors, Mr. Scott, Mrs. Houghes, Mrs. Ford, Dr. James, and Mrs. Smith hovered about the student union munching on colle¬ giate cafeteria food and asking students about their tests. TEST, TEST, TEST. Junior Rick Collins competes in the English III division at Literary Rally. The homeward ride was brimming with excitement as students eagerly questioned each other about their tests and the people that they had seen. Back at the ranch a few weeks later after the initial excitement had died down and the participants were growing impatient about their test results, an an- nouncement was made one bright sunshiny morn that Magnet had once again captured the District Rally Sweepstakes trophy! In the long standing tradition of excellence in education, a landmark event in Magnefs history occurred when we hosted thirty mid- dle schools from throughout Louisiana in the first annual Academic Pentathalon. Over six hundred seventh and eighth grad- ers competed in five categories: math, Sci¬ ence, speech, essay and the Super Quiz cover- ing the Constitution. The event was organized by Mr. Price, Mr. Trudeau, Dr. James and Mrs. Smith, who was heavily involved in bringing the Pentathlon to Magnet. In fact, ALL SMILES. Mr. Trudeau, Ms. Smith, Tracy Widiger, Jennifer Rowe, and Ms. McCathryn have plenty to smile about as they helped in hosting the first annual academic Pentathlon. THE LEADERS. Mr. Trudeau, Ms. Smith and Dr. James take time out to smile during the Super Quiz activities in the gym. she began contacting people about the event in 1986 and she has already started organiz- ing next year’s Pentathlon. The S.G.A. and R.O.T.C. were also involved in the festivities by organizing a few mixers, like a scavenger hunt, at a local hotel so the students could relax before the testing. Many students stayed up until the wee hours of the morning practicing their speeches and study- ing the ir notes for the Super Quiz. The competition Super Quiz was an excit- ing climax to the weeks of studying and hard work. The students roared with approval at correct answers from their teammates and cheered on their efforts. “It was terrifici exclaimed Mrs. Smith. “1 was so happy to see these bright young stu¬ dents stamping on the bleachers and chanting for their teammates and being so happy, and not for football or baseball, but for educa¬ tioni” r xchanging Words Words. Lots of words. Bunches and bunches of words. A few put together like this and a few put together like that. The struc¬ ture of present and past tense verbs. The languages of the world depend on these rules. Some make sense, others don’t. Oui, je ne sais pas. Ci, muy bueno! Okay! Let’s see. How do we express our emotions? We talk. How do we gain more knowledge? We read. So what’s that got to do with a language, especially English? Lots. Not many people could express their wishes and wants without speaking and referring to a definite language. We’d be lost. This year several students have come to Magnet from foreign countries only to feel at a loss for culture and expressions. Jr. Vil Sommerbakk, a student from Norway, moved in with Sr. James Stavig and found life in America and at Magnet was not as he expect- ed it to be. “I was sitting on the plane think- ing about what to expect. I was just anxious. Most of us expect a foreign language to be something like French or German. But have you ever thought about English being a for¬ eign language? Of course it is! Especially to these students. Sr. Claudia Evans, from Co- lombia recalls trying to get used to life in a new country. “Even if I had been prepared for a change, at the beginning everything was so hard and different.” These students, both foreign and Ameri¬ can, have overcome their fears and turned their differences into positive aspects. Angela Hugo, from South Africa, has done just this. She tours, giving speeches on life and culture in South Africa. “Being able to go around Louisiana has shown me so much about this state that is full of such diverse ideas and styles. I have also been able to spread a little of my culture to the citizens of Louisiana.” OH! YOU DON’T SAY?

The Honor Society inspires stu- dents to grow through scholarship, leader- ship, and character. Under the guidance of sponsors Mary Rounds and Martha Allen, National Honor Society has become one of the largest honor groups on the Magnet campus to uphold the motto of Excellence in Education”. Accep- tance into the Honor Society is based upon certain qualifications, including a 3.5 average and forty-eight quality points. At graduation, students who have maintained their member- ship are honored by receiving a seal on their diploma which denotes lifetime membership in this prestigious group. One unique characteristic of this club is the ability of its members to shine brilliantly in both work and play. While Service to the needy is one of the club’s most important activities, the members stili find time to gath- er for the annual Christmas party. This year members of the club serenaded some elderly men and women at a nearby nursing horne. Said senior Jennifer Rowe, “I love doing things for the people in the nursing horne, to see the smiles on their faces is worth any- thing”. No matter what the group does, how- ever, they always exemplify excellence in ali their efforts. TRA LA LA LA LA.

Chris- tian Valulius and Kathryn Sales, Magnet has had no trouble in eliminating ali comers who challenge the crown of best in the state. This year’s team played in AAAA district competition because of the school’s recent growth in population. While it did mean tougher matches for those who played, team member Danny Berg says, “Moving to 4-A just meant that we were finally playing the caliber of team that we deserved to be playing.” Moving to AAAA included meeting such teams such as Captain Shreve and Loy- ola, two of the top teams in the City. For the third year in a row, under Valer- ie Monday’s watchful eye, the team was able to win the Girl’s Singles, Boy’s Sin- gles, and Mixed Doubles. Winning Mixed Doubles this year were Julie Hambrick and Eric Patrick. Valerie Monday, who was herself a state Champion, feels that the success of the team was to be expected. DO THE MIRACLE LUNGE.

Those who participate in Fencing are rewarded in ways that few would have thought possibl e only a few years ago. Since that time, Fencing sponsor Ms. Settlemire has established a program at Magnet that is respected throughout the state. Since the 1984 Olympics, the sport of fencing has become more popular than ever. One of the reasons for the new found interest, Michael Aufrichtig believes is because “it is a sport employing excel- lence of the mind and body.” The fencers who have won awards this year include Greg German, Ist place Epe6 Division 2, Ist place at the Cajun Open; Mike Hawley, Ist place sabre Divi¬ sion 2; Scott Cambell, 77th place at the Junior Olympics, Ist place Little Rock Open-under 20; Michael Aufrichtig, 35th at the Junior Olympics, Ist at Halloween Open-under 20.

Are you tired of just putting around? Well. get out fhere and try out for the golf team. Being a part of this team may be a ticket to future recognition and fame. With only fifteen people competing ac- tively on the team, the gold squad is based on ability and determination. Among the top players at Magnet was star Brian Basinger, who qualified for the AAAA state tournament by shooting a very low 76 at the regional tournament. With that mark, Brian joined the top quali- fying team in the state and helped them secure that honor. Brian telis us, “I guess that it all depends on when you peak. I played good all year but I shot better than my average at regionals.” This year our team moved to AAAA competition because of the recent growth of the team. Moving up made it harder to qualify in the regional and state tourna- ments. Regardless of that fact, the team managed to become the highest qualifier in the entire state. The team came m fifth in the district. Scott LeBlanc says he is not quite so serious. When asked why he plays, he responded with a quick, “I don’t have anything better to do with my time. I’m just out to enjoy the game and improve my forearm and neck tan.” He also says he likes the game because. “I can play old men for money on the weekends.” (ABOVE) SO WHAT IF I HAVE A FUZZY THING ON MY SHOULDER!

Martino and his pride and joy Jamin DePrang stand on the illustrious Magnet field. SPORTSMAN S PARADISE Kick It At the start of the year, things looked bright for the new soccer team and a spirit rally seemed to “Kick off” the sea- son on a high note. Even though the support faded throughout the season the team played with determination and a lot of heart. The final tally was a disappointing 3 wins and 12 losses, but Jamin Deprang, assistant team captain and star player, keeps an optimistic Outlook for ne xt year. “We just had a bad season because we got off to a late start,” he said philosophically. “Next year’s team will be more experienced and the incoming freshmen will, hopefully, give new blood to the team.” Part of the problem for the team was a plague of injuries. You probably noticed some of the guys hobbling around school. John Miley, who was injured in one game against Southwood, recalled, “I was on defense and a ball came at the goal. I headed it out, not realizing it was going so fast. It knocked me silly!” Byron Connell also suffered, “I went to kick the ball in the goal and someone kicked my knee- cap into my thigh. I was screaming like a wounded moose.” Sgt. Martino told of a season filled with poor turnouts and lack of enthusiasm by everyone involved.” With the promise of a new year and a new team, however, it is hard to be pessimistic with a group of guys who are looking forward to avenge themselves next season. Win or lose, the final truth is that the purpose is just to have fun. Senior Rob- ert Morris expresses it be best, “lt’s just such a great sport that it doesn’t really matter. I had a fun season. THAT LOOKS LIKE ITS GONNA HURT. Vil Sommerbakk practices his tricks at A.C. Steere. An exchange student from Norway, Vil enjoyed staying in shape by playing soccer A LITTLE SUN? DON ' T MIND IF I DO.

Obviously they’re doing something right because the girls finished third place overall in the district. The return of last year’s star, Kathryn Sales, certainly made things a lot easier for the team. Kathryn and fellow teammate, Kristen San Juan, were voted to be on the All-District first team. While coach Don Belanger thinks that there is room for improvement, the girls finished with an impressive record of 7 and 12. According to Coach Belanger, the team ' s batting average was .330. Kathryn Sales topped the list with an incredible .503 and 6 horne runs. With their first year in district play, the girls have made a remarkable first impres- sion.

(You ask) lt’s most definitely the “Gymnastics Bunch.” As one ventured into the building that we call the gymnasium, a certain group of athletes could not be unnoticed. Under the talents and leadership of Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, gymnastics became a vital part of the athletic curriculum. These students spend endless amounts of time swinging on the parallel bars, leaping onto the balance beam, working out on the pommel horse, and perfecting their most Creative routines. What were these young athletes like? Could they be consldered Mary Lou Ret- ton and Mitch Gaylord “want-a-be’s”? Does it hurt when they hit that bar? Senior Gina Hili commented, “I was in gymnastics my freshman year. I guess you could have called me a raw talent. I wish I would have followed up with gym¬ nastics. After ali, Mary Lou Retton and I are about the same size.” When asked what was so special about gymnastics, junior Tomika Jones com¬ mented, “The class kept me on my toes ... Everyone should take gymnastics. It is something you will not forget.” Could these healthy young athletes be future Olympie medal winners.

Some students like to join the recent rcraze, call themselves skatepunks, grab a board, and head off for the streets with a little Black Flag or Dead Kennedys. Others will spend a good amount of money and equip themselves with the latest and the lightest in biking gear. Stili others at Mag- net will go so far as to race cars on the weekends or climb mountains., When asked why he liked to race cars, Tom Fanning grins and says, “lt ' s the only time I get to take the car out for a spin above the speed limit .. . well. without worrying about getting caught anyway.” Not everyone liked to go so fast, Senior Mike Miller confesses that he just started riding bikes a month before school let out, but he is already riding about twenty to thirty miles per day.

Four diligent officere faithfully executed their demanding jobs running frantically across campus with such activities as “That Senior Deal, where we watched them sport their fantastic acting abilities. President David Golden played the stem Judge Wapner in “The Peoples Court, while Vice President Darren Davis hosted The Gong Show and Secretary Meg McJunkins played cupid to loves- truck singles on The Dating Game. A major responsibility of the senior officere was the pro- duction of the November 21, 1987, homecoming festivities. Throughout the day, Meg and Paige could be found hastily explaining the rules to such games as the infamous marsh- mallow stuff and the egg toss, while Darren and David were busy emceeing the many bands that played on the field. AU of this hard work paid off with an abundance of spirit and a stronger class unity. I swear! said David Golden. Mre. Smith always calls me to her office and telis me that I’m a representative of the school, and I should promote spirit and unity! Gosh! I’m trying! Spirit and unity!

AII the time it seems like it’s a battle of the sexes with Paige and me and David and Darren, but we always seem to end up agree- ing with each other!” The spirit and unity that Meg and David boasted about added up and led to the capture of the coveted Spirit Stick, and with the help of these officere, the Senior Class of 1988 was one of the best ever.

This ruthless group, called themselves “BLAH”, Bums Lacking American Humanities, left a ransom note demanding a poster of Chris- tie Brinkley to take George’s place, a termination of the art and architecture unit, Mrs. Webb’s wearing a skirt, and a five minute segment of Black Sabbath on Fridays. After the abduction of a multitude of the remaining presidents, the numerous threats of the shredder for George, the disappearance of the podium, the gavel, and the good old Ameri¬ can flag, not to mention the flood of miscella- neous shoes, books, and U.F.O s that rained through the vents, Mr. Pardue and Mrs. Webb finally surrendered to the ubiquitous wrath of BLAH and played Black Sabbath.

The remaining number are considering Southern and Tech. “I want to stay in Shreveport because Fll be able to have an apartment and go to LSU-S, said Mari Fowler. “Plus my parents want me to stay here.” Could the reason so many of us are staying in state be lack of funds? Or are Louisiana schools improving? “The college I ' ve chosen in Louisiana has really improved in the three years, and my parents would prefer me to stay close at least my first year,” Menda Procell commented. Many are looking at out-of-state universities, however. “I feel it will give me a chance to be on my own, and to meet people with different cultural backgrounds than mine,” explained Jennifer McMullen who intends to go to Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas. Jennifer also said, “My parents were reluctant about me leaving horne at first, but now they are supportive in my choice.” Choosing the right college is a hard decision. Careers depend on it.

But that is what it’s ali about, isn’t it? We all alter ourselves in some way by deteriation, improvement, or stag nation. What shall become of the cel¬ lulose and those lost brain cells?

A person, who after experiencing the void of life known as sophomore-hood, is subject to a hectic year of scrutinizing and selecting circular metallic substances to be worn on the ring finger signifying senior hood. What does it mean to be a Junior? For some it meant to be a “Senior in Training” to others it meant “Seniorus Minorus.” Stace Feducia replied, “Juniors are people who spend countless hours in a desperate attempt to obtain sufficient coinage in order to pay for a four hour period of music, soft lights, and balloons in May that will leave them broke and destitute.” A Junior is a carbon based organism common to the halls of domestic highschools; their behavior patterns include acquiring a great sense of arrogance with their position (this usually demonstrated by the constant bullying of underclassmen),” answered Scott Evans. “Juniors are sexy, intellectual, upperclassmen.” said Trey Gibson. Yet, I think all Juniors agree. “We have a common factor to our species, to metamorphasize to the next stage; Magnetus Escapia or Senior.” JAMBALAYA Wendy Zauderer Donald Wright David Wren Robert Wolcott Kathryn Winsman Stephen Williams Gatel Williams Leslie Wilemon Narmette Wicker Elizabeth Wbittington Denise White Angele White Rickey Wells Leslie Weir Shannon Webb Bryan Wayt Elizabeth Wasik Scott Wareel Countressa Ware Gina Waltman Felicia Walpool Henry Walker Laura Wait es Dianna Van Tiem Kristen Tucker Cam Tu Kim Thompson Jonathan Thompson Wendy Theriot Ignatius Tedesco Keidra Taylor Jason Strickland Catherine Stone Catherine Stawasz Kathv Statos Viljar Sommerbakk Darrell Solomon Aaron Snvder Sunny Smith Robert Smith Andy Smith Michelle Smith Diana Smith Charles Smith Alesha Skinner Mary Simmons Akiko Sigle Maviea Shaw Clay Shane Elisa Seidner Chris Sarpy Michael Sanders Kristen SanJuan John Rogers Javonna Rogers Juniors Disappointment Anticipation, this year, does not describe the way many Juniors feel about receiving their senior rings. Some Juniors are unhappy about those who have received and are wearing their rings already, while stili others wish the rings were similar to represent the school, as well as, the class of 1989. “I wish the rings were more alike. That way it would better represent our class,” Michelle Ewoldsen replied. She also commented that she would like to see everyone get their rings at the same time to make the moment special. Even if rings are not what Juniors are anticipating, their senior year is and that is a consolation. In the future, hopefully there will be more changes made to lessen the disappointments and make the Junior year a special one. Especially with the rings because this is one of the most important parts of a senior’s life. DADDY’S GOING TO BUY YOU A DIAMOND RING.

Not to mention the things everyone knows about, such as graduation and Senior Party, there is the general good feeling of just being a senior. “Power, excitement, and a lot of laid-back days,” said Michael Au- frichtig. “Next year’s freshmen bet- ter beware, cause we’U be Seniors!!! Wait till OUR Senior Prank!” The Senior year was not all fun and games. There was always Eng- lish which follows you every year. Chemistry, Calculus, Biology II, and Advanced Math were some of the courses that were chosen by the Sen¬ iors. “It will be a challenge but we can handle it,” was the main re¬ sponse of next year’s Seniors, so they say The main thing the Juniors dis- liked was, suprisingly, their Senior ring. “It doesn t mean anything if everyones ring is different. The whole school should have the same ring. Also, some people are getting their rings earlier than everyone else is,” Michelle Ewoldsen spoke for some Juniors. On the other hand, there were as many other opinions as there were rings such as, “I like the differences in rings! You can get one that NOBODY ELSE HAS!” Best of all, “This means I can bop people on the head with it!” DAD, ARE YOU SURE YOU’RE PAYING FOR THIS? Gina Easterly and her father decide on her senior ring.

Our third Blah II members marking president, Thomas Jefferson, the beginning of a fresb new was kidnapped from the year of terrorism. walls of C-6 this year by Whodunit, This J Time? | Biah II, the new generation, was conceived early in the summer when the retired Blah I terrorists seiected four untainted souls to carry on the tradition. Suddenly thrust into the battle zone of C-6, these pilgrim souls set out to make their fathers proud by kidnapping Thomas Jefferson from the walls. In early September, after Pardue and Webb gave the class five tests in one day, the traditional Blah ransom note demanding a minimum of two tests per week and a Pink Floyd Record was found on Mrs. Webb’s desk. An Anti-Blah II organization called Belch was formed soon after Pardue and Webb announced a bonus-point reward for the return of Jefferson and the apprehension of any Blah members. Suddenly, one time Blah II friends tumed traitor. Accused terrorists were threatened with failure. The organization’s power began to slide until Blah II re-established its reign by stealing the Declaration of Independence, and leav ing in its place the Declaration of Blah-depen- dence, which added the Rolling Stones to the list of demands. “Someone had to carry on the tradition,” Terrorist I replied when asked why they risked their futures to become Blah members. ‘‘We felt honored that the original members trusted us enough to allow us the great privilege of carrying on the Blah ideals,” Terrorist 4 added.

Most high school students are introduced to cer- tain special traditions each years. One particular noun — plethora — happens to be one of the high points of the students’ junior year. Mr. Pardue, one of the English teachers who teaches this, has good reasons to convey this message to his classes. “The word plethora feels good to the mouth when I say the word,” he said, “It’s words like plethora that separate the educated from those who only know the words, ‘a lot (which they also mis- spell).” Eleventh graders seem more aware of the meaning of plethora than students from other classes. Seniors, acted as if they had memory decay while the fresh- men seemed dumbfounded. One sophomore, Tommy Waltman, thinks of it as “a hick name that sounds like Jethro.” Of course, a year from now, Tommy and a plethora of other students are sure to know the meaning of this word and many others like it. WHICH KIND? HOW MUCH? WHICH SIZE? Sunny Smith and Jon Bryan, members of Ring Staff, hand out a plethora of Josten’s pamphlets to a plethora of students who have a plethora of questions concerning their seniors rings. Tody Bauer Ricky Banks Andrew Austin Michael Aufrichtig Julie Asher Steven Anderson Katherine Allen AI an AIfrey Darius Alford Shawn Adolph Jambalaya Junior class officers: Jon Bryan, Kathryn Winsman, Sunny Smith, and Gina Easterly. Junior President Kathryn Winsman has enjoyed the challenge of taking on the responsibilities of leading the class of 1989. “Through the years Pve learned one important thing — to work with people and use compromises.” Aside from school activities, Kathryn enjoys singing, dancing, and participating with the schooPs tennis team. She will be moving to Parkersburg, West Virginia. Prom was her main goal this year. “Since Pm moving, I won’t get to see Prom, but I know it will be great,” she said, i4 I have a lot of faith in my class and wish I could be here to graduate with them in 1989.” Junior Vice-President Sunny Smith is most excited about the fact that the junior class handles the junior senior prom. Aside from school, she enjoys swimming, running, and softball. She hopes to attend college in Hawaii, Australia, or New England and major in Zoology or Oceanography. After college, she wants to live in New Zealand. Junior Secretary Gina Easterly is excited about this year and pians to unite her class as a whole. “I ran for secretary this year because 1 feel that I voice my opinion pretty well and I’m a good listener — the type who hears everyone’s problem and takes it with strong consideration.” Gina said. Outside of school, she works in the emergency room of Willis-Kn ighton South, and is interested in medicine for a career. She enjoys long distance running, swimming, and modeling for Dillards. Junior Treasurer Jon Bryan has enjoyed serving as treasurer and planning the various activities for the junior class. Jon enjoys playing a variety musical instruments and pians to form a band soon.

And, hopefully, world peace.” Some people. like sophomore Charlotte Netherton, don’t think there will be that radical a change. “I could see better technology, but I don’t think there’11 be that much of a difference. Another sophomore. Tessie Jackson. gives her opinion. “I think everything will be computerized and electronic.” “I think that people will be living on the moon,” says Jennifer Heard. Could the 21 st Century bring us a George Jetson life? It’s possible, but whatever the differences or similarities between then and now may be. the class of 1990’s ten year reunion will fall in the year 2000. Now. there are many reasons to go to a class reunion. from seeing old friends to showing off. Whether one goes to their reunion to gossip about the old times or to see who their high school sweetheart married. it’s a very special occasion. Since it is a special occasion. the proper clothing must be worn. Jonathan Rinaudo would wear “commemorative clothing of the 80’s.” Okay. sophomores, in the year 2000. be sure to get out your Coca-Cola shirts, Guess jeans and penny loafers and hop in your turbo-charged space car to head for your reunion.

These sophomores are checking out the competi- tion as the seniors file in and take their place. We’ve Got Spirit Yes, We Do Here we are today with 1-2-3 sports, coming to you live from the Magnet High School gym. Today, we have a most outrageous new sport called “Spirit Assembly.” Last assembly, the senior class swept away ali the underclassmen, but as I sit here and watch the students file into the gym and separate into t heir categories, it looks like a mighty stiff competition is ahead. For the last three months, the sophomores have been preparing at their winter training camp to conquer the seniors once and for all. Can they do it? Or will the seniors triumph again? Oh my gosh, the noise, it must be 250 decibels in here. Everyone is screaming, stomping, jumping up and down, waving flags — it’s crazy! This crowd is CRAZY! If the contest was based on noise, the seniors would get it for sure, but the sophomores appear to have more red and white attire than the upperclassmen. The decision is being made, the judges are deciding now. Who will win? They all have spirit, but the sophomores seem to really put forth more effort than anyone. Then again, the juniors are pretty close. The winner is ready to be announced. THE SOPHOMORES HAVE DONE IT!! The crowd goes wild! Excitement is filling the air. This is GREAT! Look at the seniors theyYe walking outside hanging their heads. It’s the agony of defeat. Well, this has been a 1-2-3 sports production.

Freshmen. Traditionally the most miserable class in the school, simultaneously tortured and ne- glected. But that all changes when the sophomore year rolls around. Or does it? “Not being a freshman is just swell”, commented David Dixon. “That’s putting it lightly!” Some may not have been as overjoyed at becoming upperclassmen but they were relieved to escape those infa- mous nicknames. You know the ones- “fish”, “freshie , and (dare we say it?) “fresh meat”. As Ra- chel Holy put it, “Being a sopho¬ more isn’t that different, but you definitely don’t feel picked on any- more. ’ “Well, classes are harder and everythings more complex says Sherry Robinson, explaining that common ailment, the sophomore slump. The school year did bring a more exciting social scene to soph¬ omores, maybe because with this magical age comes the all-impor- tant driver’s license. Mare Glazer had no troubie summing up the difference between his first and second years here. “Driving.” said he, “Definitely driving. ’ Some sophomores had little opinion on their first step up the classification totem-pole. They agreed with Danette Griffin. “It’s just another year closer to gradu- ation.’’ was her feeling. Then there are those like David Dixon, who, after much thought, grinned, “Well, what can I say? It’s a wonderful life.

Jason Brown already had his license when he took THE BIG D.E. his reason, then? He summed it up in four words — Big Discount on Insurance,” he explained, “and since I’m paying for it myself, that discount really helps.” Whatever their reasons, sophomores took driver’s ed- and for the most part, passed with flving colors. So fasten your seatbelts. The class of ' 90 has hit the streets, and this time, they ' re not on their bicycles . . . THE MORNING AFTER.

Bili Ross, Jeremy Kirk, Brian Thomp¬ son, and Lori Davis show other freshmen how to have a good time. August 31, 1987. Three hundred and sixty-four new students filled with ambitions and fears poured into the halls of Magnet as a new chapter in their educational career began. The first day kicked off with an assembly in the auditorium to in- troduce the freshmen to rules and policies of their new school and Mrs. Smith and to her “Magnet family.” Despite the oven-like cli¬ mate, students sat attentive, “fear- ing that if they missed any of the information,” as Shonda West de¬ scribes, “that throughout the rest of the year they would be lost.” At the close of the assembly the freshmen were released, into the hallowed halls of Magnet, with lo¬ cator cards in hand. Confused and dazed, they wandered through the halls casting doubtful glances from locator card to the room number above the door, often rescued by a helpful Z-clubber, who sent them in the right direction. As the day progressed, nerves appeared re- laxed as an occasional smile crept upon the faces of these youngsters. Although the first day of school may be described as an educational experience, there were other, just as important, experiences that day. With the first day, new friendships were made, and as Cheryl Ginn ex- plains, “It was a day that made it possible for me to see a lot of my old middle school friends.” With the first day behind them, the 364 freshmen trudged back onto the busses, heaved sighs of re- lief and were ready to return the next day to join the upperclassmen, the moment of truth.

Weekends For the class of ’91 the weekends were busy and wer- en’t for staying at home. Weekend nights were times for letting loose and showing the upperclassmen that being social runs in the “Magnet Family.” Where could those little freshmen spend their time? Bryan Seidel commented, “Going out on the weekends is a blast. The place to go is the mali.” Some spent their hours at local tennis courts. Celia Skin- ner enjoyed going to Cross Lake Pier. Other freshmen like Dennie Arnold enjoyed going to bowling alleys. It was even rumored that many went to Wallace Lake Dam. As freshman Nina Coley put it, “The popular place for freshmen is the movies or someone’s house.” Liz Greggs enjoyed spending nights and going to Joy Cinema 6. “The freshman class is known as the livest freshman class,” said Nina Coley. The Seniors of ’91 were not people who spent their time with nothing to do. As freshman Stacy Smith pointed out, “The worst thing about being a freshman is not having a set of wheels.” That disadvantage did not keep the freshmen from going out. Improvising was the key!!!!! FRESHMEN You’re Just Too Fresh! w Little Joe Turner awkward- ly makes his way through a crowded A-Wing. Vicious re- marks are thrown from every direction: Nerd! Pipsqueak! Fish! Everybody experienced it during his freshman year — that agonizing ridicule from upperclassmen. Among ali the tacky names and sarcastic comments, un- derclassmen kept a sharp sense of honor — and humor. It seemed that the word F- R-E-S-H-M-E-N just brought about negative comments, laughs,and smirks. Was this sort of treatment of ninth graders cruel and un- just or was it just tradition and expected with the territory? The nicknames varied and some became synonymous to the Class of ’91. Tabetha Tawer, Jennifer Williams, Mi- chelle Smith, Tawana Carr, and Jackie Hali contributed their discovered “fish tities”: Kids, Baby Brat Mustangs, Fresh Freshmen, Crabs, and Lil’ Ole Freshmen!

It’s Party Time! It was a new year at Magnet High, and it was a year for new people, these being, of course, the freshmen! What better way to kick off their first year in high school than with a party. In October, a freshman party was held and oh, what an event it was! There were thirty-six pizzas from Domino’s and plenty of Cokes were donated for the cause. To start off the evening, every- one met in the cafeteria where Ms. Owens “let the games begin.” She issued the participants pen¬ dis and paper with which a vari- ety of games were played. Win- ners received prizes ranging from a six-pack of Coke to transistor radios. Door prizes, donated by KITT radio, were also awarded. After this, the party was moved to the gym where the Green Ma- chine played all the great dance tunes. “They really seemed to en¬ joy themselves,” said junior Pen- ny Grigsby, who was helping with the PTSA. It was also a great time for the parents of the freshmen to meet their child’s teachers, friends, and even some of the oth- er parents. Penny also jokingly stated, “It was really funny when, at 10:00,1 saw a line of cars in front of the school filled with parents who were waiting for the party to end.” When asked how he like the party, freshman Brian Brill sim- ply stated, “Yeah, it was fun.” Melinda Holy, member of the PTSA, agreed with this and re- plied “on the whole, it was a ter- rific event.” Quinton Gray Ava Grassi James Graham Christopher Graham Jeanine Gorham James Golden Latatsha Gipson Cheryl Ginn Sunit GUI Shunita Gibson Steven Giamalis Fermand Garlington Meredith Gaffney Fumeko Fuller Leigh Fulco Christi Freyou Dawn Frentress Alicia Franks Roni Francis Christina Foley FRESHMEN Randall Fogg Edith Flurry Erica Flores Candace Fletcher Ronnyda Fitzpatrick Tiffany Finn Tawanna Fields Melissa Fatherref Traci Evergage Desha Egans Robert Duncan Jennifer Dumbar Jennifer Doyal Chris Dowdv Lynn Douglas Ka trina Dooley Stephanie Dison Tefnie Devers Kimberly Dermis Rachel Delacruz Jennifer Day Uhuru Dawson Lori Da vis Gayle Da vis Dana Da vis Carol Darter Ivory Daniels III Danny Daniels Sonny Cunningham Michael Cummings Kataunya Cummings Casey Cubbedge Anthony Cross Candice Creel Denise Crawford De-ter-min-a-tion HARD AT WORK — Freshman Andy Quick, busily typing on her Braille writer, shows determination in coping with her blindness. Have you ever thought what it would be like to be blind? Though some psychology stu- dents have experimented with the handicap by wearing blindfolds, there are stili many unanswered questions in people’s minds. Well, if you have any ques¬ tions just ask freshman Andy Quick. Andy is fourteen and has been blind since birth, yet she lives her life as any nor- mal high school teenager would. She rides to school on the bus, she takes the same types of classes (English, Spanish, etc.) she spends time with her friends, of which she has quite of few. The only dif- ference is her blindness. This difference makes her unique. To complete her homework, she uses a Braille writer. To get around, she uses a cane, but she prefers to be led by her friends, who seem to help her fit in. During her spare time, she enjoys reading and writing, of all things. She attended Middle Mag- net before coming here. And when asked how she liked Magnet, she replied, “I like it; It’s OK, and there’s not really a change from Middle Mag¬ net.” What one word would de¬ scribe her? After a lengthy pause, she modestly said, “I can t think of anything right now.” But a word which could really describe an admirable person like Andy would be the word determined.

Little things like “slipping on a banana peel in the lunch room,” said Junior Michelle Gray. And then there’s more perplexing moments like when Donald Hobney recalled, “I will never forget the Homecoming spirit rally, when I crammed a whole banana down my throat- blindfolded- in front of the whole student body.” It wasn’t until after Allan Moore told me that it was ali a big joke. I really thought that I had won the contest.” As Donald blushed, “I was so embarrassed after I finally realized what had happened.” Not only freshmen but also Seniors remembered being very awkward in Mr. Scott’s class a number of times. Mr. Scott repeatedly told them to “bow down and worship the trigometric god.” He told them that they were all doomed to go to “mathematical hell,” when they did not know how to work a problem on the board. Not only do students get themselves in predicaments at school but they also become absent minded away from school, too. “I once locked my keys in the car with the windshield wipers going and the car running four hours while I was taking the ACT at Centenary,” recalled Senior Natalie White. Jokes are played and pranks are pulled, but it’s all for a good laugh. JAMBALAYA JAMMIN ON THE RUN — Dur- look on as Ms. Ball shows Senior ing a jazz session, the cafeteria ladies Brandon Laird a few dancin’ steps. An-ti-ci-pa-tion For many freshmen, going to Magnet High can be an ex- citing yet a frightening exper- ience. Most freshmen agreed that they feared unknown. While talking with Senior John Hext, Arnie Stolz said, “I thought it was going to be demanding, but it really isn’t.” But John replied, “Oh- just wait and see, believe me it will get harder, I know.” Martye Martin anticipated that “there were going to be a lot of nerds running around,” but she said, “Now I know that there are quite a few nor- mal-looking people here.” Anticipation grows inside all freshmen as they look for- ward to cars, dates, dances, and the Freshmen Party. Ar¬ nie recalled wanting to go to the party but said, “I didn’t go to the party because, well be- cause I didn’t have a ride.” Rumors of hard Science classes and semester exams really are the harsh reality that no one ever mentions. That’s why many freshmen have to adjust to so many new things when they become “Magnetized.” PSSST — Freshman-Allan Moore seems to fit right into the crowd as seniors Stephen Vekovious, Emery Geyer, and Tracey Edwards teli him a few pointers. g;-. % m f f k ll F • t.-xrrfi frr fi W i- 1 m John Bokenfohr Patrick Blake Jennifer Bisson Lakeesha Bishop James Bell Emily Bell Phillip Beavers Eddy Beard Jr Eric Beach Daphne Baylor Brad Batterbee Charles Banner Lee Banks Mary Bane Rhonda Baldwin Jennifer Baker Lora Bailey Maria Autrey Christopher Atkinson Jennifer Ashby 4 i FRESHMEN 1 _ Homecoming without a football team-is this possible? “It really doesn’t matter, it’s just another dance to go to,” Freshmen Amie Stolz along with Celia Skinner and Martye Martin seemed to think although they did not attend. Although few freshmen attended the dance, most went to the spirit rally. Martye Martin “felt dumb,” during the spirit rally because she said, “Our class did not have enough school spirit.” Martye also recalled, “a lot of people including Anne Rogers didn’t wear red.” “I was also embarrassed during the banana eating contest,” replied Martye. Freshmen Donald Hobney confessed “I thought I really won.” Laughing Donald Said, “It was the most embarrassing moment for me and our freshmen class during our first high school careers.” After the spirit rally, everyone congregated to the football field for the long awaited games, food and live music. Anne Rogers recalled, “The pizza from the Key Club was the best.” “I liked it all-the food, the games, and the music,” added Celia Skinner. “I better get used to it because I’ve got three more years of Magnet’s Homecoming.” YOU WANNA DANCE? — From freshmen to alumni, students seem to unite in school spirit as they listen to the tunes of “The Band’’ during Homecoming 87. SENIORS! — During the Homecoming spirit rally, Shea Anderson is enjoying herself during her last year at Magnet. Denn ie Arnold Scott Armand Sherri Anthony Sony a Allen Sheri Allen Cynthia Allen Alexis Alexander Gevonia Adams Shelly Abbiatti JAMBALAYA FREEESHHH — Freshman officers Catherine Teague (President), Margaret Sale (Vice president), Ann Rogers (secretary), and Tiffany Chambliss (treasurer) take it easy as they look forward to their next four years. “We’re trying to be really good officers by putting our best foot forward,” Margaret Sale, vice-president, explains, “We want to get a lot of class spirit going.” Although Ann Rogers, secretary, agreed with Margaret, certain sources have found that Ann did not wear red to the Homecoming spirit rally. Margaret explained that the freshmen officers, who included president Catherine Teague and treasurer Tiffany Chambless, planned to promote spirit by having parties, dances, or something fun,” she continued, “just so everyone won’t think weTe unproductive and no fun. Surely there was a stigmatism put on the freshmen classes in the past but as president Catherine put it, “Freshmen are students that used to be upperclassmen.” The freshman class of ’88 have more to live up to, but they also have four more years to accomplish their goals and aspirations, while the juniors and the seniors have almost reached their height. TT flbb IN fl SLQW DflY Tuesday, April 12, 1988. 8:00 A.M. Please stand for the pledge.” As the school pauses to listen to Mrs. Ascension Smith lead the pledges of allegiance, naive yearbook reporters stumble into the office. We halt abruptly, realizing the procedure. Those thirty seconds would probably be the longest time we’d spend stand- ing stili ali day. ... For ali those abiding here.” Wham! Push around the comer to her office. Better keep on your toes,” she says. We glance at each other, shrug and follow. AII of us enter Mrs. Smith ' s office. Not sure exactly where to sit, we try to blend in with the atmosphere and soak in the scene. Mustang pictures ali over the walls, curriculum guides on a shelf containing several trophies, building pians for ROTC buildings, a calligra- phic Ode to the Principal” hanging majestically behind a scattered desk. After consoling a distressed rally participant and sagely advising an ili Mrs. Sanders, Principal Smith beck- ons us into the teachers ' lounge, where Dr. James, Mrs. Bradford and Mrs. Sanders sit. We cohorts slink to the back of the room but are quickly invited to join the discussion of the day.” The topic is Pentathlon, a recur- ring theme for the day. The adminis- tration is particularly proud of this first year’s competition, and everyone is talking about it. Shortly, we return to the office and talk to Mrs. Bradford while Mrs. Smith conducts a parent conference, in pri¬ vate. The secretary seems terribly busy in her small cubicle, but she says it’s a slow day. SECOND HOUR finds Mrs. Smith on the phone and a repairman working with a new computer. Mrs. Smith ap- pears cheerful, in between fielding phone calls and writing notes for the day in her big blue notebook, which she won ' t need after the computer is installed. And she jokes with the com¬ puter man. Mrs. Bradford soon hands her a re- quest form for a field trip to McDon¬ ald . Well, what are they going to do there?” she asks. Resolving to let Mr. Price handle the form, she looks up to see media specialist Mr. Bryan peering in. They speak about Pentathlon and the creation of a video tape about the event. I won ' t let you go until it’s done,” she chuckles. Mrs. Smith’s commanding ap- proach to problems gradually be- comes more obvious to us. She stirs within us the urge to sit up straight and be extremely proper. (This may sound siliy, but we don’t get these vibes often.) Then we dash off to see Mrs. Schildt, for each teacher must be observed and only the principal can write an evalua- tion. Asked how many evaluations she has left to do, Mrs. Smith beams, Oh, l’m so proud of myself! Because of the Pentathlon, I got most of them done early.” Several interruptions later, we arrive at the art room, where Mrs. Schildt quietly hands Mrs. Smith les- son pians and explains what the class is doing. Admiring the art displays, Mrs. Smith advises the girls on their assignment, a self-expressive abstract, Portray your innerself. Some things never leave you — feelings, soul, dreams and Vision. People without dreams die. To make the world better, first you must become knowledgeable; second, do what you can for others. Thirdly, do these with a positive atti- tude.” ACTIVITY PERIOD. After visiting the choir room, we enter the cafeteria. Beautiful!” she proclaims upon see- ing the new mural. They wanted to paint that whole area black and now look at it. With a little imagination beautiful!” Inside the kitchen, steam rises from fresh blueberry muffins. Mrs. Smith takes some and shares them. Thank- ing the workers for their Services dur- ing Pentathlon, she assures them of their pay. Finally en route to the office, Mrs. Smith first checks the freshmen test- ing. In her office at last, she returns several phone calls and explains, Ev- ery time l’m gone, I have four or five phone messages.” Mr. Price enters and the two discuss the McDonald ' $ field trip and a mysterious S.N.A.P. poster. She writes more in her big blue no¬ tebook, sets up an interview for a pro¬ spective teacher, and glances at Mr. Kennedy, who now is working on her computer. We comment her on her do¬ ing three things at once, whereupon she replies, You can’t let anything get you under. You have to keep up with it all.” She admits that this has been a slow day and that she had first mused that we would think she did nothing! THIRD HOUR. Mrs. Smith observes Mrs. Schoeder ' s geography class, teaches a mini-lesson in Spanish for Mrs. Penuel, and discusses views on the Panama crisis in yet another class. She also stops to visit” with several about the upcoming Decathlon in San Antonio. FOURTH HOUR. More phone calls, conferences, notes. Suddenly it’s 11:40, time to meet Mrs. Simpkins, the teacher from New York. Glancing over the credentials, Mrs. Smith is de- lighted to learn that Mrs. Simpkins has Louisiana’s Principal of the Year, our own Mrs. Ascension Smith allowed Gina Hili, Stacey Feducia, and Penny Grigsby (the collective “we” in the lines below) to shad- ow her tor a day of investigative reporting. Here is their story — and hers. taught in Mexico. A flurry of Spanish immediately breaks out. The two en- joy each other’s company and part in a cheerful mood, a brochure about Mag- net in Mrs. Simpkins’s hand. FIFTH HOUR. A laid-back attitude per¬ vades the office area after lunch and we ease into chairs to wait for the prin¬ cipali return from the cafeteria. Fif- teen minutes later and back in her own area, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Brad- ford discuss upcoming appointments. Entering her private powder room, she says, AII principals have to look nice, men and women. Of course,” she winks, men principals don’t wear lip- stick.” After more phone calls and notetak- ing, Mrs. Smith turns her full atten- tion to Mr. Kennedy. The ever-patient Mr. Kennedy explains the set-up; she seems like a child content to play with a new toy. This toy” will save her a lot of trouble once she gets the hang of it. Off to run an errand, Mr. Kennedy ad- vises his new pupil to familiarize her- self with the computer. Upon his re¬ turn, she laughs, Oh, Mr. Kennedy, l ' ve been a bad student!” In reality, she was interrupted by more phone calls and another quick conference. SIXTH HOUR and all is quiet as Mr. Kennedy methodically works the in- structional program with Mrs. Smith. Eventually everything falis into place and she squeals, ' Tm so happy, I learned! Gosh!” It is a stroke of good timing because, at that instant, the 2:30 bell sounds. We don ' t know how much longer they are going to stay and work, but we are going horne. A little tired, but a lot more appreciative of Mrs. Smith. THIRD HOUR. Enhancing Mrs. PenueCs class with her knowledge of Spanish, Mrs. Smith has few teaching opportunities. She some- times misses teaching biology and Spanish. AFTERNOON DETAILS. After school, Mrs. Smith chats with students before they climb aboard the bus. She checks loading proce- dures and the flow of traffic. SMILE AND THE WORLD SMILES WITH YOU. Eng- lish teachers Mrs. Bell, Mrs. Boswell. Mrs. Ford and Miss Rounds are joined by Mrs. Smith on Saturday, April 9, as they grade the themes written by the middle school participants in Louisiana ' s first sane- tioned Academic Pentathlon, which was won by our major feeder school, Caddo Middle Magnet. PERSONALITIES Those Teachers Always Play Games With Our Heads Be informed to make intelligent decisions, stated E. H. Allen, senior class sponsor. T J $ k Do you have a hall-pass, Mr. Pennywell, well? Near The Top Of It Ali Anyone who has spent a little time with Mr. Price knows that he is a caring per son. He has worked hard to reach the goal of having a drug-free school. He takes pride in having helped some stu dents realize the ilis of drugs and seeing them drug- and alcohol free. Overall, he rates the year as an eight, on a scale of one to ten, because his goals have not yet been fulfilled. Mr. Price has to deal with something negative each day and considers that as the low point of the year. On the other hand, he smiles when he ponders the best things of the year — Miss Rounds being selected to emcee Buddy Roemer’s gubernatorial inaugura tion, Mrs. Webb’s work with the Smith- sonian, Mrs. Smith being selected as Lou- isiana Principal of Year, Academic De- cathlon, Academic Pentathlon, and hav¬ ing a new cohort with whom to share administrative responsibilities. Dr. Beatrice James joined the Magnet team and had to make a major adjustment from principal of Hamilton Terrace Mid die School, which was closed, to vice principal of our school. She points out that the pace in high school is much fas ter, that there is a wider variety of activi- ties, and that there are more people than in a middle school! As a resuit of chang ing positions she has learned not to pro¬ crastinate. Dr. James is married to the principal of Green Oaks High School. Between the two of them, conversation is never dull after a long day at work. Always gracious and helpful, Dr. James rates her first year at Magnet a super year” and has really enjoyed working with faculty and students.

Yes, 1987-88 was a rather experimental year for the Student Government Asso- ciation, but thafs not sur- prising since it was steered by two of Magnefs most Creative minds, Bryan Wayt and Tracey Widiger. Cre¬ ative, and dedicated, too. Thafs what makes them so much a part of what made SGA successful this year. But what about the sena- tors? What do they do for the “umbrella organiza¬ tion? Well, quite simply, they are the link between the student body and the ad- ministration — and that can be a tough job. Neverthless, this was Sunny Smith ' s fa- vorite part. “1 like being the ‘go-between Wc compro- mise between what the stu- dents want and what the of- . . SGA? fice wants. And according to Natalie Osment, what wc wantcd was very simple anything new and exciting. “Magnet studcnts were ready for something they hadn ' t seen before, and in SGA we tricd our best to give it to them. Guidcd by Tracey and Bryan, it was a year of pic- nics, cafeteria carousing, and even a never-before- tried movic night; and since experimenting is all a part of involvement, it was just what the two officers were looking for. “I knew 1 want- ed to be more involved than I was as a class officer, ex- plains Bryan, while Tracey knew she had what is necded by the organization. “I knew I had something to contri¬ bute to Magnet, and SGA was the right place to do it. As the year comes to a close, we wonder just what makes SGA work? Why, the people in it, of course. As Bryan puts it, “If you have the right people in the right places, then everything just falis into place; and in 87- 88, fall into place it did. r tV ET 56A f re£en+5 PICNIC ONEMtttIT EVEM CJM.L IT ' A FAil FEASTIVAL ' LET’S GO FLY A KITE Written in Tracey Widiger’s impeccable hand. the cafeteria wall sports an announce- ment of everyone ' s favorite activity — The SGA picnic.

SOMETIMES THE GYM LEAKS, YA KNOW. Taking pictures at the Christmas assembly, senior Gina Hili is caught off guard (official phototaking shower cap, and all!) Staff Infection Opening for: Dependable, Creative, and somewhat masochistic being that (along with the need to punish oneself) wants to rise to a challenge and publish a tangible resuit of (often seemingly futile) effort. Yes, it is said, “Woe be to the ones wishing to yearbook.” To Yearbook? Lets analyze this word: Yearbook (ycfbook ' ) or (yoor ' book ' - if feeling particularly posses¬ sive) n. 1. book holding writing, pictures, and other tasty tid-bits meant to induce memories in later life. 2. cause of much embarrassment in later life, due to gales of laughter from future children after seeing their parents high school picture. v. — ah, but wait, yearbook a verb? To those who experience the drawing, graphing, writing, photo¬ taking, and general making of deadlines-ing know that this simple word, yearbook (most often used as a noun) holds more meaning (and pain-gasp!) as a verb. Oh, my, we have gone off on a tangent, haven’t we? Back to the proverb (see paragraph 1). Anyone who happened upon the yearbook room (our humble abode) in the fall mighl have seen what appeared to bc a relaxed gathering of folks sitting back shooting the breeze or more simply said, gossiping. Only an expert could identify the serious and highly important commu- nication within the room that ultimately would determine the theme and style of the ' 88 Odyssey. (really) Needless to say, around mid- November. most new staffers thought they had the old curse licked. But along came December, and with the D-month, the dreaded D- word, deadlines! The word that institis terror in the hearts of all who dare to publish But these things too shall pass, and did (and most were even met), ah victory! “To the victors go the spoils” just didn’t seem to work out for this year’s staff. We’d get one deadline finished with another close on our tails. But enough complaints, in the end, we all united to conquer one challenge (to yearbook like no staff has yearbooked before us) and succeed! We created (like all true Cajuns) some pretty prickly Louisi- ana Hot Sauce. SPECIAL DELIVERY. New staffers Penny Grigsby and Kim Clikas hand out the 1987 ODYSSEY this fall. IT MUST BE ARVID.

Not the special envelope for “Messages to the Editors.” IVT ingle? Sure Interact. Isn’t that the ali- male social-type Club a Shreve? Nol quite. LTC Grassi (but just plain Gus out of um form) brought sponsorship and a different reputation to Interact when the Club, new to Magnet this year, opened its doors of membership to both sexes. And things started hoppin ' soon after the election of officers. White many students spend a five-day break from school sleeping late or getting some extra shut-eye, some of the Interact members found that the word “thanksgiving” took on a whole new meaning. They received a call for help from Christian Services and soon donned aprons and hats to help Sister Margaret and other community volunteers dish out Thanksgiving din- ner to the homeless and needy. According to Antonio Pizarro, late-night sessions at the YWCA proved to be rewarding because he got to meet so many different people. “They were so outgo- ing, it really made volunteering fun,” acknowledged Antonio. Senior Gina Hili said that mostly the folks, often children from broken homes, wanted and needed someone just to talk to. In addition to counseling troubled youngsters, mem¬ bers also took time out to play. At Christmas the gang met at Pizza King to get to know each other better,” as Penny Grigsby stated. “Shooting a little pool and stealing everyone’s pizza was definitely a positive inspi- ration to start the Club off with!

LATIN R unning The State For The Day Taking over the state capitol for two days to learn more about Louisi- ana ' s governmental Sys¬ tem is basically what Youth and Government is ali about. Each year stu- dents from all over Louisi- ana meet in Baton Rouge to participte in a Youth Legislation Seminar. Each student has a particular position to fulfill which makes for a great learning experience and an oppor- tunity to meet new people. The different positions held were senators, repre- sentatives. pages, lobby- ist, court delegates, and the press. “I was elected Lobbyist State Represen- tative where I was in charge of all the lobby- ists. ” said Senior Eliza- beth Lawrence. The sena¬ tors and representatives presented bilis which were voted on and the ap- proved bilis were then sent to the other depart- ment where they were vot¬ ed on again. If they were approved once more they then had to be approved by the governor. During all this the pages would run messages back and forth from the House to the Senate, while lobbyists went around presenting bilis to senators and re¬ presentatives. All this went on in the state capitol as part of the legislative system as the court delegates held trials at the court house. Each group included a two man attorney team with a set of witnesses. Also each dele¬ gate had a chance to serve on the jury. “Serving on the jury gave me the opportunity to see just how the judicial system worked before my case went on trial,” said senior Shayne Berry. “The whole trip was just an excellent learning ex¬ perience that taught me alot about our govern- ment and made me very happy that I joined Youth and Government,” ex- claimed senior Julianne Davis. r ORDER IN THE COURT!!

Drawing The Line Magnet’s version of Youth Arts Council of America (YACA) has always proven itself to be one of the most active organizations on the campus. Mr. Edward Allcn, the YACA sponsor, works his fingers to the bone to lead YACA in bene- fiting the school. A special thing about YACA is that those students who have an in- terest in art, yet don ' t have enough room in their schedule to take art classes get a chance to become in- volved in various art istic activities. This organization ' s main interest is to make the appearance of the school a littlc better. The seniors, with the help of YACA, designed and painted a mural on the once blank cafeteria wall. The mural was designed to signify the individuality of the Class of 1988 as well as the unique qualities our school exhibits. “The white beam of light is our class as freshmen; plain, Basic peo- ple. We entered the pism, or the school, and expanded. We departed as colorful, well-rounded young adults, Jon Tiner, YACA presi¬ dent, explains. In addition to the mural, YACA has participated and aided in many various art showings, contests, and festivals. At the Revel and Art- break, YACA volunteers worked at miscellaneous booths in order to make the world run along smooth- iy- Another YACA activity was the State YACA Convcntion which took place in Alexandria. Art clubs from all over the state gathered to- gether to participate. Each club had to give a demonstration on a new projeci being offered at their school. There were also special din- ners and a dance. “Mr. Allen dressed up like Billy ldol and lip-synced ' Mony, Mony It was hilarious,“ says trip partici¬ pant Pam Britt, “We all had a real- iy good time and met a lot of new people.” So you see, YACA is not just a bunch of artsy people, sitting around painting pictures and mold- ing clay. No siree bob. YACA is much more than that. It ' s a group of people with a common interest who are worried about the appear¬ ance, well-being, and over-all repu- tation of our school. From the con¬ tests they enter, to the displays they host. From the painting of the walls, to the Service work. From the District YACA meetings to the State YACA Convention, Magnet stands out once again as one of the top schools in the state. 1T S NOT JUST A MURAL .

As David Golden says, “This was only our second year at Magnet and it was extremely successful.” The other of- ficers of FCA, LeAnn Planchock, Vice-President, Carr Scott, Treasur- er, and Rob Lindsey, Secretary, join together with the other members for success and fun. Every month the club had a break- fast at Centenary and this year an- other one of the club ' s many activi- ties was the Independence Bowl breakfast held at Expo Hali. Mem¬ bers of Magnefs FCA and other schools dined with the players of the Independence Bowl. Another excit- ing event for this year’s FCA mem¬ bers was the chance to participate in the FCA Golf Classic, where football players such as Bryan Henson and Morton Anderson received the chance to test their skill at another game. But breakfasts and golf are not the only sources of motivation for FCA members. Jill Slokes was encouraged to join FCA by the club ' s sponsor Valerie Monday. “It showed me a whole new aspect of high school ath- letics, and gave me a chance to meet lots of others, too” Jill reflects. With the achievements of FCA this year, they have rightfully earned their position at Magnet and hope- fully in future years will continue to strive for many more achievements. FELLOWSHIP AND FUN.

Computer students Lisa Beaird, Robert Bullock, and Billy Jordan receive the much nceded help of Mr. Sellers. Data RUN ... As the market overflows with jobs requiring use of computers, students are getting a head start by joining the computer club. The work done with the computer club, as Lisa Beaird says, “prepares me for future use with comput¬ ers, which with the technology today I will most definitely need. Although the computer club involves hard work and devo- tion it is not all work and no play, as members receive the chance to play some of the most advanced video games that exist on the market today. The club consists of three different levels of experience, based on the number of years enrolled in a high school com¬ puter course. The beginners THIS DO ES NOT COMPUTE. The Enriched and AP students are as follows: (Front Row) Lisa Beaird, Jin S.

Wav group under the guidance of Mrs. Cloud, back from sabbati- cal leave, is taught the history of computers along with an in- troduction in programming with the BASIC language. The enriched course, under the guidance of Mr. Sellers, is a continuation of the basic lan¬ guage. The advanced place- ment students, also under the guidance of Mr. Sellers, is a new phase of the computer class, which this year with much help from Mr. Sellers learned to program in PAS¬ CAL, an advanced program¬ ming language. So, with eyes toward the fu¬ ture, the computer club en- deavors to improve program¬ ming skills.

Upendra described the conference as “awesome.” Next year’s physics club mem¬ bers will enjoy exciting activities due to the recent arrival of new lab equipment. This equipment will allow more class participa- tion and demonstrations of phys¬ ics principies. The arrival of the new lab equipment is greatly ap- preciated says senior physics club member Jin S. Ok “due to the hard work and determination illustrated by Mrs. Ennis, who started the petition that not only helped Magnet to get new equip¬ ment but also ali other Caddo Parish high schools.” PHYSICALLY SPEAKING.

W here The Bovs Are Under the leadership of president Rob Lindsey and spon¬ sor Steve Yenger, the Key Club managed to successfully complete its first year under national charter with a surfeit of Service projects and social events. Special projects such as the C-BARC Spring Fling and the World Poverty Day Solidarity March strengthened the strong fraternal ties of the group and provided them with a school-free day in which to better the community. Other activities like the Ciear Project sponsored by Dr. Vetter gave Robert Morris and Paul Minnear a chance to spend quality time with a troubled child and study or just “goof off” “It was a great experience,” offered Secretary Robert Morris. “I got a lot of personal satisfaction from working with the kids.” Aside from Service projects, Key Club attended many fun activities like the Annual Pancake Breakfast and sent the 1988-89 officers John Rogers, John Miley, Bryan Wayt and to the Key Club State Convention in New Orleans in April. Key Club also had their notorius informal initiation cere- mony where the active members humiliated the pledges in front of their peers. “I can ' t teli you what they did to me,” murmured a blushing Chris Conger. “But I was embarrassed for two weeks!” Summer pians for the club include a Senior Citizen Day at City Park and work at the Kiwanis Summer Camp.

Later into the year they held on assembly for the debaters. They presented them with a balloon and a gift. The spirit leaders work long hours on routines for each assembly. When Mrs. Smith received Louisiana Principal of the Year, the girls wrote special chants and created a dance in which they encouraged Mrs. Smith to participate in. “Being a spirit leader for the past two years has been an exciting, fun-filled experience.

So what one might ask, makes Z-Club worth this ex- periment in embarrassment? Well, this marks the begin- ning of Singing Valentines and Sadie Hawkins, of Zonta meetings and Service projects. The beginning, if you will, of Z-dom, a term which can mean different things to each member. To some, Service to the community is enough reason to be in the club. To others, ifs an opportunity to commu¬ nicate with girls they might have never met otherwise. Whatever the reason, Z-Club has its members satisfied.

Beautiful Inspirations Through thc darkest rcalms of these halls lies the irue inner bcauty of the cntire school. These students who dedi¬ cate a year ' s worth of performance evolve from the mists and come to life as thc Magnet Mannequins. This group of “mode students provides an outwardly image that is a combination of a beautiful smile and an outstanding per- sonality. But is the exterior of each of these persons the most important? Shortly after the beginning of each year, Mr. Edward Allen, the Mannequins instructor, spends much time and thought in just which of these students he will choose to rcpresent thc school for that year. As the new students are chosen, to avoid monotony, new routines are also chosen. Some routines through the years have included casual wear, sportswcar, evening wear, and even the newest styles in prom drcsscs. These students then practice for asscmblies at school and for functions away from school. Jamie Hayden, a first year Mannequin, “You just have to practice. I joined bccause I like modeling and I also do it outside of school. Now some may not realize the real effort that these stu¬ dents put forth, but their devotion in itself shows that inspi- ration of beauty that some schools lack.

Any of the Spanish club members could teli you that Spanish club was a worthwhile club to be in. This year, the Spanish club visited the Shrinefs Hos- pital for Crippled Children. While at the hospital, the club entertained the children with a pinata. “Not all of the kids could hit the pinata, but we all had a really good time, stated Aki Sigle, vice-president of the club. While brightening someone’s day is a part of the Span¬ ish club, learning more about the Spanish culture is also important.

The French cluh could be seen just about everywhere this year. For instance, at Homecoming the tantaliz- ing smell of Futece croissants could be smelled ali around the field during the extrataganza. Also dur- ing the holidays the club members helped to bring friends, niates, and secret admirers closer together by selling candy canes at Christmas and carnations on Valentines I)ay.

The house was packed and the audience was delighted by the unique antics of Brandon Laird. Brandon starred in both productions and his contributions are evident. The money box does not lie. Jon Osmon also made his debut on MagneFs stage this fall and he left a somewhat experienced actor. Brandon and Jon ' s talent complimented each others as well as others in the cast and crew. Backstage will lose two of its old friends this spring. Shani Atwood and Sherry Pool, both seniors, have worked backstage for the last four years on every drama sponsored show. Both techies say they will miss Magnet and the friends they have made over the years. Miss Aslin can be proud of her Caddo Magnet Players. They performed up to her standards, or at least thafs what the audience projected. We gave our all and we are proud to be called “Aslin Angels”. Two years down and hopefully many more to come. The seniors must leave, but do not fear, for next year’s seniors will fili the shoes left. At least, the hope is that next year will be better than ever. Good luck. r COOPERATION.

NOTABLE DIFFERENCES More Than Just A Picture! Photo Club What is emulsion? Em sure this question has crossed your mind many times. Well, the answer is quite simple. Just ask one of the bright members of Photography Club; and they will inform you that the emulsion is the light sensitive particles found in film. Yet, Photography club is more than just cameras, film, and long terms. It is a group which explores a new and upcoming art form. This year, our photography students hosted a booth at Artbreak where they not only showed their art, but they sold it as well. While many of these works won ribbons, a few choice pieces even won cash prizes. Emery Geyer won two hundred dollars and he is just one of these talented soon-to-be famous artists. Let us not forget who is the sponsor of this group and that is of course the amazing Mr. Townson. Even though the year began a bit rocky with Mr. TownsonV illness, he retumed better than ever and ended this spring on a high note. Hope next year will be a little easier on him. Next year will be just as successful, if not more. So if you wonder just what is a film plane or what is the effect of sunshine on tungsten film, maybe, Photography Club is just what you Ve looking for.

The question has been an- swered in previous books, but you might not remember, or maybe you didn’t read it. So, here is that special copy — again. The dictionary says that a colophon is a publisher’s device placed on the last page of a book — the Greeks’ “final touch” — but sometimes on the title page. Special notations are included in the colophon. Special notations such as the printing speci- fications— “specs,” publishers call them. Ev- ery year the ODYSSEY attempts to present an artistic, Creative, and somewhat journalistic account of the school year. Some things al- ways remain the same — some good pictures (usually group shots by David Mauldin’s staff) and some “less than professional” pies (there were no Photography II students on staff). Fun times we’ve tried to capture on some of the 100 rolls of B W and color film. Additionally, and thankfully, organizations such as JROTC, Closellp, and Spanish Club furnished shots of their action-packed year. And some things change with each new edi- tion. The editors of ODYSSEY 1988 chose glossy sheets of 80-pound paper, style 191, on which to print various sizes and styles of type. The Student Life section, traditionally the most fun to work on, sported headlines inter- woven with the subheads. The organizations pages featured some special touches, too. Believe it or not, most of the compliments on ALL MARKED UP (ODYSSEY 1987) were about the folios. Folios? Page numbers and guide words found at the bottom of the pages. Check out this year’s folio tabs. Of course, the theme changes yearly. It’s always discussed and refined in yearbook camp in the summer. (Yes, we work in the summer and on holidays, and as Gina Hili said, “They call it yearbook camp, but 1 didn’t see any tents.”) You can thank Jill Stokes for the theme idea this year. She insisted that Louisi- ana IS hot stuff — in the national and Interna¬ tional news daily, for better or worse. So, the cover was designed — again with Jiirs and Mr. Allen’s help — to pique your taste buds and tempt you into perusing the hot copy. This is the first laminated cover for Magnet, and it’s contemporary and upbeat. to mateh the theme. LOUISIANA HOT SAUCE excludes the tra- ditional coverage of school “royalty.” Pub- lished separately by HarwelFs in Shreveport and designed and implemented by Annelise Christensen and Gina Hili, DASH was just a bit of optional spice, kind of like the fil6 for gum- bo. A final word in this colophon — about deliv- ery date. Last year marked the first fall delivery of an ODYSSEY. Fully sanctioned as a fall book by the administration, ODYSSEY is pub- lished by Jostens in Topeka, Kansas. Jostens publishes about 16,000 yearbooks nation- wide; more than 40 per cent of that number is now on fall deadline. In the attempt to provide better coverage of a very unique school envi- ronment, the ODYSSEY staff appreciates the support of the administration in its endeavors. Bon appetit from the LOUISIANA HOT SAUCE staff. DID I SAY THAT RIGHT? One hand on hip in classic Mrs. Lynn style, editor-in-chief Annelise Christensen ponders a question during Faculty Follies. Plenty of yearbook questions about style, type and content were answered by Annelise as each deadline neared. .

Mrs. Waguespack says that she has a devii of a time getting students interested in math. The poster says it ali, as Mrs. Smith is honored with an as- sembly after her selection as Lou¬ isiana Principal of the Year. LAGNIAPPE Well, another year has come to a close and along with it another yearbook has been published. Each year, the personal- ity of the staff changes, and with that comes a different attitude. This year the ODYSSEY staff had a much more relaxed and updated way of capturing the es- sence of Magnet. With the theme “Louisi- ana Hot Sauce” it was not hard to take a more spicy look at life around campus. Our goal was to show the culture and diversity of the students and faculty. The wonderful and Creative staff that Gina and I had, along with the invaluable leadership we had from Mrs. Lynn, made our jobs as editors a very easy task. We could not have reached our high expecta- tions without the help of all those involved in the Magnet machine. With aid and as- sistance from numerous people we were able to publish what we believe to be an award-winning yearbook. The photogra- phy skills, provided by David Mauldin, OAT S DE END have let us express the many wonderful things that go on around Magnet. This edition of the ODYSSEY is more in tune with the ideas, hopes, and even some fears of the students. The students are, of course, what a yearbook is all about and with so many interesting char- acters to work with, how could we not produce a publication that measured up to the excellence that the student body of Magnet demands. Part of all this credit goes to our Jos- tens rep., David Baker. He has guided us through the beginning stages of the theme, all the way until our last deadline was met. His guidance let us develop all of our ideas into something that was wor- thy of publication. Without his needed Services, our yearbook would not be half as outstanding. In the Shreveport area, our book was the first to move to a fall delivery, and as of now is stili the only one to do so. The Annelise Christensen, Editor-in-chief. and Gina Hili, Managing Editor, were photographed here by David Mauldin Photography. first year we tried it was rough and it will only get easier with time. For Magnet, it was a wise decision because all of our activities and contests are in the spring. By moving to a later delivery, we were better able to cover many of our most important fuctions. It brings a feeling of pride to the staff members when they see the fruits of their labor. Gina and I thank all those that gave their valuable time to help us put together the 87-88 ODYSSEY. We believe that it is a fine book and we are proud of all in¬ volved. Annelise Christensen Editor-in-chief Gina Hili Managing Editor
