— — PARTY ANIM ALS — Freshmen Casey Cubbedge and Donald Hobney enjoy being themselves while dancing at the freshmen party. 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

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.
