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

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.

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.
