I LOVE HIGH SCHOOL! Chomping on a snickers, munching on a ham- burger, and drinking a coke, not the ordinary Magnet lunch, the new magnet tradition of fall feastival. 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.

Exploring Coates Bluff, Rhonda Bal- dwin, Tiffany Chambless, Laura Rickefeller, and Yeng Ho find an inter- esting way to spend a Saturday with History Club. 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!!!!!
