H ighest State Of Minds In the summer of 1987, a select group of Magnet Seniors attended the Louisiana Boys’ and Girls’ State. In essence, this program is set up by the state for high school students to get an on hand ap- proach to the go vernment of an imaginary state in which they themselves create. The students upon arrival are separated into an all girl state and an all boy state. From there they elect gov¬ ernment officials and design a twin city project. Other than planning a project, the students visited the Capitol building and attended a lecture given by Gov- ernor Edwin Edwards. The Seniors who participated in this years convention for the Girls’ State were Jennifer Rowe, Kim Werthermen, Krista Kle- ments, Jin Ok, and LaVerne Fer- dinand. Attending the Boys’ State convention were Brian Basinger, David Golden, and Scott Wilcox. When asked of her experience at Girls’ State Jennifer Rowe re- plied, “You hardly got any sleep, you do a lot of work, and you do a lot of walking but it was a good experience. It helps you to see how you would act in a given political situation.” Perhaps Mag¬ net will be turning out many fine politicans due to this convention. RAISE YOUR HANDS! Students are participating in the 1987 Girls ' and Boy ' s State convention. Here we see the political rally that takes place during the convention. THIS IS THE T1CKET! The convention would not have been complete had the real governor of Louisiana not spoken to the numerous students who were nominated to attend Girl ' s and Boys ' State convention. RELAXING TIME? SURELY NOT. That ' s what many students asked themselves when they did get an occasional break. STATE

Some of these courses range from Marketing to Public relations. Magnet students are taking full advantage of this very enriching program. The Career Center students at- tended state competition in Baton Kouge this year as well as nation- al competition in Salt Lake City, l ' tah. In order to attend these competitions students presented projects on marketing. Over 100 schools from the Louisiana area participated in Baton Kouge. Senior Christy Ginn was an ac¬ tive member in the Career Center program this year. When asked what one of the many benefits of the program brought to her, she replied, ‘‘It helped me to be able to speak more openly about my- self because you have to present yourself to the buyer. I also learned about business machines and public relations.” Sounds like a promising program for more students to participate in.

eight Just A Secant! What’s the formula for pi?” “No, you mean the recipe for pie? “No, the mathemat- ical and scientific explanation for the term pi! “Well, it seems the general consensus for math and Science can be related through a radical identity.” “A what?” Don’t let the big words scare you. It’s just a put on. Math and Science explore our inner- most secrets and explain things we can’t see with the plain eye. Concepts of the imagina- tion and of the real world are somewhat relat¬ ed through formulas and figures. According to Mr. Scott, a multi-math teacher, each student has the key to infinite knowledge. It all de- pends on if we “sit on our intelligence and block the door to expanded intelligence. The mathematical and scientific explana- tions of space, biology, and alas chemistry, whether we admit it or not, open doors for our futures. Advance technology for medicine helps save people’s lives and engineering im- provements help efficiently produce economi- cally sound medical equipment. All of this couldn’t be possible without our friendly equations, logarithms, and series of experiments. No pain, no gain as they say, right? Well, just where do you think you and everyone else would be now without the handy-dandy formula E=MC 2 ? UhHuh, that ' s what we thought! GEE! MR SELLERS - I DIDN ' T THINK OF THAT!
