here ' s proof: i missss- spelled’that’ 3 4n the last sentence , i sppeleed it ' thet ' . Forgive me. Henry Ford once said “History is bunk”. Jefferson once said “A whole lot of Uh-huh and a little bit of Oh yeah.” James Dandy once said “We believe in the Hereafter .so now you know what we ' re here after.” Well, that really has nil to do w deadlines, right? Aw right, but do we all do it? Get all strung out with our stuff, i MEan! Oh yeah. Should i prOmote the theories of Kerouac and use my stream of con- sciousness to write this? Household appli- ances.

Gimme 7 ' te Seat Sdtttttt i Summer SaC tice Learnin’ Stcuietite Sc uM ay This past summer was much more than time spent loafing and stagnating to many Mag- net students. Instead it be- came an age of learning, a rev- elation in the knowledge of lite by the means of a summer school course, a camping ex- perience, a pilgrimage to a for- eign country, or a little military training. AII of this learning and more was experienced by Magnet students; a potpourri of excitement. Senior Chris Davis learned about the military in the sum¬ mer of 1987. He spent nine weeks at Fort Bliss in EI Paso, Texas, participating in rigor- ous training exercises of the National Guard. ‘ ' Making money and tuition exemption at LSU Baton Rouge helped me see my way through learn¬ ing about discipline and re- sponsibilities,” he grunted with a look of enthusiasm etehed across his face. Grant Summers, charismat- ic Senior, went to summer school at Fair Park in order to make up a class, while other students took extra classes to improve on their already highly polished education. Said he, “It was sort of comforting to finish a class under such re- laxed conditions, and I actual- ly learned something!” Junior Stace Feducia went to Jamaica with many other Magnateers such as David Golden, sophomore Lassiter Mason, and senior Nancy Wil- kinson. They all participated in mission work for their church, First Methodist, who spon- sored the trip so the vibrant young adults could build a much needed school for the impoverished area. Stace Fe¬ ducia squealed her elated message, “I learned a lot about other people and my- self, how to get along with oth- ers, and how to haul dirt. I also learned that every Jamaican has a garden in his back yard.” Seniors Lee Walker and Tra- cey Widiger also spent their summers missioning. Tracey worked with children in the Dominican Republic while Lee enjoyed the children of the Spanish slums in Houston, Texas. Lee felt that the roaches were a bit of a prob- lem, but when asked to com¬ pare them with the children she worked with she simply stated, “Oh gosh, they were worse!” Counseling happy campers and parading a positive role model was the position seniors Shayne Berry and Billy Vines occupied at Yah Tah Hey camp in Minden, Louisiana. The camp, for junior high stu¬ dents, was sponsored by local Methodist churches. Shayne taught a class in how to make Indian bread. Said she, “I real- ly enjoyed making Indian bread for the kids, I sort of soaked up old Indian tradition while learning from the kids. I got fat eating the bread, too.
