Rattler Family, it’s Throwback Thursday, and today, we’re going all the way back to that glorious year of 1974. So, pop that Blue Swede 8-track into the player, crank up their No. 1 hit “Hooked on a Feeling”, tear open a bag of the new nacho cheese Doritos, pull the tab on an RC Cola and see if you can identify who this Rattler is. This little girl was one of 13 students in the morning kindergarten class, and I’m sure she probably loved books then as much as she does now. She would go on to become a valued member of the Magazine High School faculty, serving in a variety of roles. She continues to serve the students at Magazine High School and could probably write her own book about her experiences over the years. Who is she?

Rattler Family, It's summer time, so let's have a little fun and jump into the time machine and travel back to 1984. ... This young multi-sport athlete was in junior high.

Magazine junior Trace Nicholas is rapidly rising in the political ranks this week during the 81st session of Arkansas Boys State, a summer leadership and civic engagement experience sponsored by the American Legion. After being elected to the city council of Partee City earlier this week, Nicholas was elected as a state representative for his congressional district on Tuesday.
"Being elected as State Representative is quite the special opportunity for Trace and his fellow legislators," said David Saterfield, director of instruction for Arkansas Boys State. "He'll get an up-close and personal look at the legislative process with his own state legislators leading him through the process."
On Wednesday, Nicholas will meet with Arkansas legislators to learn more about the legislative branch and process. As part of their meeting, Nicholas will join his fellow Arkansas Boys State senators and representatives in creating mock legislation that they will debate and vote upon at the state capitol on Friday.
"I'm excited to see what ideas Trace and his fellow legislators bring to the House and Senate floors on Friday," Saterfield said. "I hope these Arkansas Boys State legislators take it all in when they're at the capitol. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Nicholas, along with classmate James Haugh, is one of more than 400 students from throughout the state attending Arkansas Boys State at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway. Students are mock citizens in eight different counties and congressional districts, sixteen cities, and two political parties.

This is just the first step in the transformative leadership journey that students embark on this week."
