R unning The State For The Day Taking over the state capitol for two days to learn more about Louisi- ana ' s governmental Sys¬ tem is basically what Youth and Government is ali about. Each year stu- dents from all over Louisi- ana meet in Baton Rouge to participte in a Youth Legislation Seminar. Each student has a particular position to fulfill which makes for a great learning experience and an oppor- tunity to meet new people. The different positions held were senators, repre- sentatives. pages, lobby- ist, court delegates, and the press. “I was elected Lobbyist State Represen- tative where I was in charge of all the lobby- ists. ” said Senior Eliza- beth Lawrence. The sena¬ tors and representatives presented bilis which were voted on and the ap- proved bilis were then sent to the other depart- ment where they were vot¬ ed on again. If they were approved once more they then had to be approved by the governor. During all this the pages would run messages back and forth from the House to the Senate, while lobbyists went around presenting bilis to senators and re¬ presentatives. All this went on in the state capitol as part of the legislative system as the court delegates held trials at the court house. Each group included a two man attorney team with a set of witnesses. Also each dele¬ gate had a chance to serve on the jury. “Serving on the jury gave me the opportunity to see just how the judicial system worked before my case went on trial,” said senior Shayne Berry. “The whole trip was just an excellent learning ex¬ perience that taught me alot about our govern- ment and made me very happy that I joined Youth and Government,” ex- claimed senior Julianne Davis. r ORDER IN THE COURT!!

OFF1CIALLY POSED ... (Sitting) Jon Tiner (President), (Sccond Row) Debbie Haines (Reporter). Pam Netherton (Vice President). (Back Row) Rob Morris (Secretary), Brian Bladc (Treasurer). Drawing The Line Magnet’s version of Youth Arts Council of America (YACA) has always proven itself to be one of the most active organizations on the campus. Mr. Edward Allcn, the YACA sponsor, works his fingers to the bone to lead YACA in bene- fiting the school. A special thing about YACA is that those students who have an in- terest in art, yet don ' t have enough room in their schedule to take art classes get a chance to become in- volved in various art istic activities. This organization ' s main interest is to make the appearance of the school a littlc better. The seniors, with the help of YACA, designed and painted a mural on the once blank cafeteria wall. The mural was designed to signify the individuality of the Class of 1988 as well as the unique qualities our school exhibits. “The white beam of light is our class as freshmen; plain, Basic peo- ple. We entered the pism, or the school, and expanded. We departed as colorful, well-rounded young adults, Jon Tiner, YACA presi¬ dent, explains. In addition to the mural, YACA has participated and aided in many various art showings, contests, and festivals. At the Revel and Art- break, YACA volunteers worked at miscellaneous booths in order to make the world run along smooth- iy- Another YACA activity was the State YACA Convcntion which took place in Alexandria. Art clubs from all over the state gathered to- gether to participate. Each club had to give a demonstration on a new projeci being offered at their school. There were also special din- ners and a dance. “Mr. Allen dressed up like Billy ldol and lip-synced ' Mony, Mony It was hilarious,“ says trip partici¬ pant Pam Britt, “We all had a real- iy good time and met a lot of new people.” So you see, YACA is not just a bunch of artsy people, sitting around painting pictures and mold- ing clay. No siree bob. YACA is much more than that. It ' s a group of people with a common interest who are worried about the appear¬ ance, well-being, and over-all repu- tation of our school. From the con¬ tests they enter, to the displays they host. From the painting of the walls, to the Service work. From the District YACA meetings to the State YACA Convention, Magnet stands out once again as one of the top schools in the state. 1T S NOT JUST A MURAL .
