Say You Tttayuet Studente Want A PC iy S wte Revolution ‘PatettcaC We interrupt this yearbook to bring you the latest political gos- sip and, yes, of course, news. Var- ious sources in Baton Rouge have said that ex-governor Edwin Ed- wards will give-up politics to pur- sue a lite of religious fulfillment. Yeah, he’s gonna be a television evangelist, yeah, yeah, that’s the ticket. In other reports, Sopho- more English teacher, Mary Rounds, will be giving up teaching to become a professional mis- tress of ceremonies for the state of Louisiana .... no, the United no, the world, yeah that’s it. Governor Buddy Roemer is not only busy trying to balance the budget, he’s working to move the capital of Louisiana from Baton Rouge to New ... no, to Shreve ... no, to Zwolle, yeah, that’s the ticket. Governor Roemer is also trying to buy a new song for the state of Louisiana. He’s gonna buy the rights to Revolution ” for $2,000,000, no, for 90,000,000, no ... $500,000,000, yeah, that’s the ticket. Ticket! Lottery ticket, in Louisi¬ ana? Politics in Louisiana affects the lives of everyone young or old. The gubernatorial election, for in- stance, managed to amaze just about everyone with the an- nouncement that Buddy Roemer won. Senior Cathryn Hali was “Ecstatic” when she heard the news. ‘‘AII I can really say is yay, go Buddy go!” Cathryn added. This sentiment was shared by many people who saw Roemer’s win as a turning point for the state of Louisiana. Locally, the fourth district Con- gressional race tried to carry on the views of the Roemer cam- paign. Even closer to horne, Mag- net’s own Jon and Heather Tiner became personally involved in the election when their father, former editor of the Shreveport Journal, announced his candidacy. “It was a lot of work, but it was enjoyable for the whole family,” were Jon’s thoughts on the election. “We grew a lot closer through the whole thing,” added Heather. Stan Tiner’s showing in the elec¬ tion was quite good considering this was his first try for a political office. Is there a possibility of Mr. Tiner running for another office? Other Magnet students became involved in the Congressional race too. Seniors Sherry Pool, Becki Evans, and Jeannie Rohrbaugh worked on the Jim McCrery cam- paign taking phone calls and deli- vering signs. “We worked all day on election day, it was really ex- citing,” commented Sherry Pool. “I felt kind of guilty working for Jim McCrery, since Jon’s father was running, but, oh well, that’s politics,” added Sherry. SMILE IF YOITRE NOT LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR — Ex- Lieutenant Governor Bobby Freeman takes time out to visit with seniors Beth Bundy. David Golden, Mary Wimberly and Shayne Berry who were in Baton Rouge during Youth and Government. SPICE OF LIFE y y

A Hard ' JtcuUf ScJUufaCa Act To Follow ecC From That Senior Deal to Once Upon a Mattress, this year can be summed up as one success after another. The year opened with That Senior Deal, the seniors ver- sion of game shows, which had the girls cheering at the antics of the wet t shirt contest as well as the other features in their varied production. The audiences found a different type of humor when the drama department presented School for Scandal, a Restoration comedy by Richard Sheridan. The crowds came cheering, but for a different reason; ex¬ tra credit made a great incen¬ tive. Once again, the seniors overwhelmed crowds with Way Out West, the laughter lead into the final act, Velvet Elvis, which left fans breath- less. Ugly Miss provided laughs as well as carrying on the tradition the juniors pass down each year. And in the end, there was Once Upon a Mattress. Crowds poured into the audi¬ torium to see Brandon as King Sextimus the Silent, the mute King. Each production gave us laugh after glorious laugh and they gave the generation to come a hard act to follow. TOUCH UPS. Trey Gibson, a Junior, gibes last finishing touches to his make up during the final minutes before opening night of Once Upon a Mattress. ALL IN A DAY’S WORK. Thersea Jon Osmon, and Trey Gibson convey their different opinions about song lyrics in a song rehearsal for Once Upon A Mattress. SPICE OF LIFE
