ERIN GO BRAGH! Looks like the St. Patrick’s Day Picnic has instilled the love of the Irish in everyone — even Darren Davis and Christian Valulis. Maybe Mr. Conley can help them with the words. FBI, IRS . They brought you lunches in the sun, dining entertain- mcnt, and a chance for ro- mance at Valentine ' s Day. What more could you ask? Voting machines on Elec- tion Day? That was ar- rangcd as well. AII while de- livering the traditional SGA dance or two in the Magnet gym. Yes, 1987-88 was a rather experimental year for the Student Government Asso- ciation, but thafs not sur- prising since it was steered by two of Magnefs most Creative minds, Bryan Wayt and Tracey Widiger. Cre¬ ative, and dedicated, too. Thafs what makes them so much a part of what made SGA successful this year. But what about the sena- tors? What do they do for the “umbrella organiza¬ tion? Well, quite simply, they are the link between the student body and the ad- ministration — and that can be a tough job. Neverthless, this was Sunny Smith ' s fa- vorite part. “1 like being the ‘go-between Wc compro- mise between what the stu- dents want and what the of- . . SGA? fice wants. And according to Natalie Osment, what wc wantcd was very simple anything new and exciting. “Magnet studcnts were ready for something they hadn ' t seen before, and in SGA we tricd our best to give it to them. Guidcd by Tracey and Bryan, it was a year of pic- nics, cafeteria carousing, and even a never-before- tried movic night; and since experimenting is all a part of involvement, it was just what the two officers were looking for. “I knew 1 want- ed to be more involved than I was as a class officer, ex- plains Bryan, while Tracey knew she had what is necded by the organization. “I knew I had something to contri¬ bute to Magnet, and SGA was the right place to do it. As the year comes to a close, we wonder just what makes SGA work? Why, the people in it, of course. As Bryan puts it, “If you have the right people in the right places, then everything just falis into place; and in 87- 88, fall into place it did. r tV ET 56A f re£en+5 PICNIC ONEMtttIT EVEM CJM.L IT ' A FAil FEASTIVAL ' LET’S GO FLY A KITE Written in Tracey Widiger’s impeccable hand. the cafeteria wall sports an announce- ment of everyone ' s favorite activity — The SGA picnic.
