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. SO WHAT IF THEV ARE DROWNING? I LOOK GOOD. Sunny Smith works hard as a lifeguard at Southern Hilis Swimming Center.

Blast O’ ' P f ieccfrita,tie i 7 t 7e tc(sUCe (factae Winter ' Pactcc s4 ut ' prcuttic ' Jvt Sfatevefi U When the phrase “natural disaster” arises in day-to-day conversation what is an indi- vidual inclined to believe? 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
