Not everyone can produce a two-dollar bili from a regular one-dollar bili or meet RUSH or even write a famous novel. After a thorough, tiring, frus- trating, aggravating, but bene- ficial search through the corri- dors of Magnet High, I found numerous talented people. The following is a list of homo sapiens and their notable ac- complishment. Several writers were discov- ered with hands holding stubs of pencils and with faces con- templating famous quotes for their works. One such person was Rex Burks, who piaced first in his division for his entry titled “This Business of the Family for the International Youth Journalism Contest sponsored by “Youth Maga- zine . Gee, isn’t that great and that’s not ali. Minette Burks wrote This Time for a national novel competition for teen- agers and piaced in the top twenty of over four hundred entries. “Right now l’m work- ing on revising it to the point where it will make me rich and famous and selfish and con- ceited,” is what Minette has replied. How’s that for a goal?”. Get her autograph while she is stili in our area. Then there were also people like Bart Marable, whose Christmas card was used by Channel 12 for the holiday viewers. Why did he do it? It was for fun and, probably most important of all, he won a Family Ties Jacket. As ev¬ eryone would expect, he has several copies of this card at horne; A piece of paper with a poem, crayon-drawn picture, or a two-word over-used phrase on its surface. And there were people like James Chico and Morgan Alli- son who won contests that are out of the ordinary. James won a RUSH guitar by calling 98 ROCKS. It was signed by Alex Leifson and Getty Lee from the band, whom he got to meet backstage. Morgan’s Dungeons and Dragons team won first place at Barksdale on October 17. He said it was a way to escape from reality and nothing is more unreal than a game like this. Later Morgan decided to play for fun and to win tournaments. He participated most recently on his birthday. Coincidence? Maybe. Now, for your extreme pleasure, there were more monsters and stuff like this go- ing on that month too. Margie Lillya was a voodoo cultist last October at the fair. It’s the thrill of scaring people that fascinates her. She and about sixty other people took the challenging task of being the reason little kids have night- mares. “It’s a real rush when people come screaming at you.” No carbon based descen¬ dant of the apes can forget our Will Etheredge. He not only performed in the Revel, but also he went to Corpus Christi, Texas, where he won first place in the under-18 divi¬ sion of TAOM. You may won- der if TAOM stands for Those Abnormal Orange Mangoes, but it is really the Texas Asso- ciation of Magic that he per¬ formed for on Labor Day. And if this wasn ' t enough to fulfill one’s expectations for a magi- REALITY OR ILLUSION? Will Etheridge dazzled crowds at the Revel and in Texas and stili has not made his teachers disappear. “IF ONLY I COULD PLAY A GUITAR.” James Chico poses with the RUSH guitar he won from the 98 ROCKS contest. cian’s life, Will has informed this gung-ho reporter that he performed at Artbreak, Holi- day-ln-Dixie, and Internation- als. A VERY LONG time ago, when the Revel was just a child, Will, as a fourth grader, met a clown. This suspectingly ordinary clown put Will under a magical spell when he start- ed pulling coins out of Will’s pockets. Naturally Will was im- pressed like a regular fourth grader would be, as he knew he didn’t have any money in his pockets to begin with. The fact that the clown didn’t keep the money excited Will. This clown pulled out his handker- chief and waved it in front of our young Will and, unexpect- edly, ten half dollars feli out. This clown was never seen or heard of again. Now, Will has performed for teachers such as Dr. Bratton, Miss Keith, and Mr. Pardue. I am happy to re- port that no teachers have dis- appeared. Don ' t forget, no matter where you go, there you are.
