The Backpacks 4 ui ‘fletui ? vt The Halls You wore a butterfly, you went and saw and did any- thing you wished until at least noon when you arose in time for “AII My Chil- dren. ” Was this the first day of school? 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

SKIING? NO THANKS! I’VE HAD ENOUGH. 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.
