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

In Amidst l otm AII The MaurfaiH Hoonla After the school year had begun, and new faces and names started becoming easy to remember, it was election time. Because lead- ership is such an important goal and quality here, many students ran for either a Stu¬ dent Government office or a class officer. Teachers watch from afar the progress that is being made through each candidate. Mr. Bryan, the li- brary Science teacher and fa- ther of junior class treasurer. Jonathon Bryan, says, ‘‘It al- ways gives you satisfaction to see your son achieve his goals.” The campaigning began in full force. Posters appeared on every bricked wall and surface. Many different ap- proaches were taken to achieve notoriety. It may have been neon paint, pro- fessionally made signs, or splatter painted masses of butcher paper that caught the voters’ eyes. It is certain that many preparations were made. Every candidate put effort into the elections and they didn ' t seem to worry over time and money spent on advertisements. It was, as Mike Strahan put it. “the fact that I lost that hurt. Eventually the voters got to hear the campaign speeches of their fellow stu¬ dents. Some of the proposi- tions were relayed by rap- ping or cheers, and others were straight forward. After being elected Junior Class President, Kathryn Winsman found out that she would have to move at mid-term: “I hate to leave because I ran for the sense of responsibility and I feel as though l’m abandoning my office through no fault of my own.” The honesty and dedication of Magnefs elected officials is what makes our elections and also our school so unique.
