MIRACLE IN BATON ROUGE Qi AP Ariel Anne, Laura Alice, Jacob Wilson, and William Macon Roland DON’T OPEN IT YET!!! For Susan and Jim Roland, the reality of being able to have another child was a miracle. That miracle was enhanced by the fact that not one but four — that’s right, quadruplets — were born. The quads were born January 15, 1987 and are, by order of birth, Ariel Anne, weighing in at 4 lbs. 8 oz., Laura Alice, weighing 4 lbs. 9 oz., Jacob Wilson, weighing 4 lbs. 8 oz., and William Macon, weighing 4 lbs. 5 oz. The quads were welcomed home by their older brother Jason, a sophomore here at Wood-lawn. These quads are the world's sixth in-vitro births and are the second in the United States. Even though he quads were born at Ochsner Foundation Hospital in New Orleans, the in-vitro fertilization marked the first successful in-vitro pregnancy that Woman’s Hospital in Baton Rouge could boast. All babies are home and doing well. Congratulations to the Roland family! This year the Art Department constructed a time caspule to be opened 100 years from now. Businesses and students donated items to be placed in the capsule that may give future Wood-lawn students an insight into the customs and curiosities of our times. Some of those items include: a copy of the Woodlawn Alma Mater, a picture of the Band, a teacher handbook, several magazines, a baseball t-shirt, a picture of our Purple Panther mascot, a can of Copenhagen, and LNB belt buckle, Prom and Graduation invitations, videos of Woodlawn groups performing, and McDonald's food containers. 12

above Scott gets cozy for the 30 hour bus ride, right' not on the slopes, the BR Wrecking Crew entertains. This year's activities started off with the club meeting at individual's houses. At All Momenza-deh’s house, more than 90 people came. John Clifford shaved his WHS beard. Before Homecoming, the Campaigners took a weekend trip to Pass Christian, Mississippi, where they played Top Gun Volleyball, jammed on the beach, and caught some rays. Next about 60 Younglifers headed to Mississippi where they attended a weekend camp called Polar Bear. They played games, had vicious shaving cream fights, and before leaving, some took the Polar Bear plunge! Over the Christmas holidays some of the Younglifers rode on a 30 hour bus ride to Breckinridge, Colorado for a week in the snow. Even though there were injuries, people kissing trees, and many falls, all say they would do it again! Young Life is a club for anybody and everybody and invites you to come to any meeting or trip, if you are interested in learning about Christ. left Tylee Jackson poses quickly before heading down the slopes, above: Susan and Veronica show off their ski attire.' below Jennifer and Carter head to the lifts, above Tylee and Lauren take a break at the Breckenridge Cafe.
