Usa Beaird Julianna Beal Craig Beeman Shavne Berry This Is The End! R.S.V.P. WE’RE READY FOR YOl ROB. Rob Lindsay looks amused to have found a Lindsay memorial at the national landmark, Oakley Cementery, on his class’ annual tour of historic Shreveport. Tombstones, gravemarkers, epitaphs-VVhat is this? Another Magnet dilemma? The Outsiders, Lord of the Flies , Our Town, Huckleberry Finn , and MacBeth are stories of life and death that we have ali read. “I remember the story of The Outsiders because the tribu- lations of the boys parallel those of teenagers I know,” commented Paula Vasquez. And in the spring Mr. Pardue and Mrs. VYebbs classes clamber onto a bus to travel the city to get a “feel M of its cemeteries by mak- ing tombstone rubbings. “A tomb- stone rubbing can be framed and hung on ones wall next to his Madonna poster,” jokes Mr. Par¬ due. In a way, the end of our senior year can be seen as a form of ending, or as Thornton Wilder said, “gradually weaning away.” said, “gradually weaning away.” “I wish you were here,” was Debbie Haines’ reply after con- templating the thought. Fellow classmate Chris Manning an- swered, “I finally made it.” Lee Walker, who spent her summer as a missionary in Hous- ton, Texas, has a positive outlook on death because her epitaph is read, “My death is not a tragedy, for now I’m in a better place.” Many people are terrified of death because the thought of the unknown and having no control over destiny is scary. ‘TU think about it when the time comes,” replied Elizabeth Lew.

2. One who takes Physical Education IV, primitive finger painting, EY REE-ZIM-BLINCE!!” Senior Class Trea- surer Paige McDade exclaimed when she joined her colleagues at Seven Sisters Res¬ taurant, the site of the Senior Class officer pictures. A small picture shoot was just another of the innumerable duties for a senior officer. Four diligent officere faithfully executed their demanding jobs running frantically across campus with such activities as “That Senior Deal, where we watched them sport their fantastic acting abilities. President David Golden played the stem Judge Wapner in “The Peoples Court, while Vice President Darren Davis hosted The Gong Show and Secretary Meg McJunkins played cupid to loves- truck singles on The Dating Game. A major responsibility of the senior officere was the pro- duction of the November 21, 1987, homecoming festivities. Throughout the day, Meg and Paige could be found hastily explaining the rules to such games as the infamous marsh- mallow stuff and the egg toss, while Darren and David were busy emceeing the many bands that played on the field. AU of this hard work paid off with an abundance of spirit and a stronger class unity. I swear! said David Golden. Mre. Smith always calls me to her office and telis me that I’m a representative of the school, and I should promote spirit and unity! Gosh! I’m trying! Spirit and unity! Spirit and unity! “It’s funny about unity, offered Meg McJunkins. AII the time it seems like it’s a battle of the sexes with Paige and me and David and Darren, but we always seem to end up agree- ing with each other!” The spirit and unity that Meg and David boasted about added up and led to the capture of the coveted Spirit Stick, and with the help of these officere, the Senior Class of 1988 was one of the best ever.
