Caddo Magnet High School - Odyssey Yearbook (Shreveport, LA)

Page 250 text:

Well, another year has come to a close and along with it another yearbook has been published. Each year, the personal- ity of the staff changes, and with that comes a different attitude. This year the ODYSSEY staff had a much more relaxed and updated way of capturing the es- sence of Magnet. With the theme “Louisi- ana Hot Sauce” it was not hard to take a more spicy look at life around campus. Our goal was to show the culture and diversity of the students and faculty. The wonderful and Creative staff that Gina and I had, along with the invaluable leadership we had from Mrs. Lynn, made our jobs as editors a very easy task. We could not have reached our high expecta- tions without the help of all those involved in the Magnet machine. With aid and as- sistance from numerous people we were able to publish what we believe to be an award-winning yearbook. The photogra- phy skills, provided by David Mauldin, OAT S DE END have let us express the many wonderful things that go on around Magnet. This edition of the ODYSSEY is more in tune with the ideas, hopes, and even some fears of the students. The students are, of course, what a yearbook is all about and with so many interesting char- acters to work with, how could we not produce a publication that measured up to the excellence that the student body of Magnet demands. Part of all this credit goes to our Jos- tens rep., David Baker. He has guided us through the beginning stages of the theme, all the way until our last deadline was met. His guidance let us develop all of our ideas into something that was wor- thy of publication. Without his needed Services, our yearbook would not be half as outstanding. In the Shreveport area, our book was the first to move to a fall delivery, and as of now is stili the only one to do so. The Annelise Christensen, Editor-in-chief. and Gina Hili, Managing Editor, were photographed here by David Mauldin Photography. first year we tried it was rough and it will only get easier with time. For Magnet, it was a wise decision because all of our activities and contests are in the spring. By moving to a later delivery, we were better able to cover many of our most important fuctions. It brings a feeling of pride to the staff members when they see the fruits of their labor. Gina and I thank all those that gave their valuable time to help us put together the 87-88 ODYSSEY. We believe that it is a fine book and we are proud of all in¬ volved. Annelise Christensen Editor-in-chief Gina Hili Managing Editor
