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. DAVI GOLD PRESIDENT SENIOR 1 YEA! IMAGINE THATI The eyes of the voters are caught with loud. catchy signs and slogans.

Must Be Maq ie£ Seeing Paufod Tta Red Towh Red The anticipation began when the tickets went on sale and posters began to ap- pear. Freshmen began scop- ing the school for dates to their first high school formal function. Sophomores and juniors, remembering the food, fun, and frolic of last year, began to prepare for the festive day. And last, but certainly not least, the sen- iors professed that they would indeed be the winners of the coveted spirit stick. Finally the day arrived: No¬ vember 20, 1987. The classes assembled in the gym for the notorious spirit rally. The music, provided by Over The Edge, was loud and the gym was hot. First, the spirit leaders ignited us with a fabulous routine full of danc- ing and cheering. Next, the infamous Decathletes were introduced and presented with gifts and balloons to show our wholehearted sup- port for them. At last, the rally began and the seniors went on to victo- ry, thanks to their united class spirit and color coordi- nation. The relay races and other games on the field followed the rally and there was plenty of food and fun for ali. The pizza provided by Key Club proved to be the best seller. The games gave the day in- teresting flair. Students had the opportunity of listening to music and watching their friends compete in the home- coming games. The day then wound down, but not for long. because students then went horne to prepare for the evening’s events. The Insatiables’ volcanic sounds were heard through- out the Hilton Inn and party- goers were everywhere. Then the grande finale — the court was announced, with Sheila Adger and Brian Blade reign- ing as Queen and King. AII in ali, homecoming was a big sucess. Senior Class Presi- dent David Golden sums it up by saying, “We proved that the class of 1988 had enough spirit and unity to make Homecoming 1987 the most successful ever.” SERIOUSLY THIS IS OUR FOOTBALL TEAM! Assorted seniors grouped together for some action during the homecoming assembly. IFE
