Serve Is With A Smile Lose? It’s not a word in the tennis teanrTs vocabulary. For the past four years, Magnet has reigned supreme as the team to beat. With past players and this year ' s State AAAA champs. Chris- tian Valulius and Kathryn Sales, Magnet has had no trouble in eliminating ali comers who challenge the crown of best in the state. This year’s team played in AAAA district competition because of the school’s recent growth in population. While it did mean tougher matches for those who played, team member Danny Berg says, “Moving to 4-A just meant that we were finally playing the caliber of team that we deserved to be playing.” Moving to AAAA included meeting such teams such as Captain Shreve and Loy- ola, two of the top teams in the City. For the third year in a row, under Valer- ie Monday’s watchful eye, the team was able to win the Girl’s Singles, Boy’s Sin- gles, and Mixed Doubles. Winning Mixed Doubles this year were Julie Hambrick and Eric Patrick. Valerie Monday, who was herself a state Champion, feels that the success of the team was to be expected. DO THE MIRACLE LUNGE.

Those who participate in Fencing are rewarded in ways that few would have thought possibl e only a few years ago. Since that time, Fencing sponsor Ms. Settlemire has established a program at Magnet that is respected throughout the state. Since the 1984 Olympics, the sport of fencing has become more popular than ever. One of the reasons for the new found interest, Michael Aufrichtig believes is because “it is a sport employing excel- lence of the mind and body.” The fencers who have won awards this year include Greg German, Ist place Epe6 Division 2, Ist place at the Cajun Open; Mike Hawley, Ist place sabre Divi¬ sion 2; Scott Cambell, 77th place at the Junior Olympics, Ist place Little Rock Open-under 20; Michael Aufrichtig, 35th at the Junior Olympics, Ist at Halloween Open-under 20. Judging from the successes this year, the Fencing team is here to stay. In fact, one team member was overheard saying, “We are here to pump you up!” Gieg Gemm 99 Fencing Ia u(C U an UupcrtJmt kponJj becauic of Ujc (wiWi and aMiuk in- HANGING AROUND STATUES AGAIN?
