We Experienced Summer Hummers And Summer Bummers Riding On The Crest Of A Rampant Wave As the sizzling sun sent tem- peratures soaring into the mid and upper 90 ' s, we all invisioned sandy beaches, cool waters, and clear blue skies. While surfing, jogging, or simply hanging out at the local pool with friends, we all strove to achieve the maximum tan possible. For some of us this was reality . . . Unfortunately for others, kicking back and taking it easy was just a dream. Instead of exotic vacations, musical solitude with the head- phones, or occasional trips to the beach, the summer was devoted to the serious side of business — mak- ing the bucks. Whether it was slinging hamburgers at a fast food restaurant, babysitting, skating at Sonic Drive-In or scooping ice cream cones at the corner drug store, vaca- tions meant work. For all of us, however, whether it was a summer of fun or a summer of work, the end of vacation was a sum- mer BUMMER as we dragged our- selves back to another year of hitting the books. A sizzling sensation! Sophomore Veronica Cor bett ' s summer was spent behind the grill fry- ing hamburgers and preparing other foods at the Sonic Drive-In in Greenville. Killer! Vex! Hairy! Senior David Russ spent his summer on the sidewalks, streets, and walls. His insane skateboard moves were seen all over town. Let ' s celebrate while we still have time! Senior Jessica Bays takes time to celebrate the sev enteenth birthday of Maureen Joyce. The sur- prise party was given by Alyson Carter on August 29th at Quail Ridge pool.

When the art of work and play come together it ' s SCJN thing HOT. Senior Hope Barwick spent her summer lifeguarding at a local pool. Here, she makes sure that the swimmers obey pool rules while catching some heated rays. On a scorching summer day, Senior L.L. Everett plays it cool at the pool. Aside from this splash, L.L. spent his summer going to the beach and working for his father. Although some like it hot, Senior Jeff tltley would rather play it cool. In addition to attending various concerts, Jeff ' s summer included practicing with his band and recording their music at EM R Stu- dio in Greenville. The torch is coming! The torch is coming! Juniors Lee Nisbet and Erin Becker take a breather after participating in the torch run. In commemoration of the O.S. Olympic Festival ' 87, Lee and Erin helped move the torch through Greenville on June 25th as it made its way to Raleigh .

At Pep Rallies And Ball Games We Show Our True Colors Quite simply, we ' re Rose High. Junior Shontell Clark exhibits her spirit to all as she supports the Rampants at a Friday afternoon pep rally. F ridays seemed to be the longest day of the week. Our minds wondered ram- pantly as we antici- pated the chilly, blistering wind blowing across our faces. We invisioned two teams fighting to the finish under the bright lights of the Farley-Minges football , ;i3 stadium. Behind the echoes of Ram- pant pride, the multitudes were clad in the mighty blue and green . . . Who said Rose High didn ' t have spirit? Whether we ' re painted in blue and green or competing with the cheerleaders to determine who really loves our school the most, we show our true colors. Rampant spirit is plastered on the walls, demonstrated through participation in spirit week and pep rallies, and most defi- nitely heard in the halls. Let ' s face it, as Rampants, we want ev- eryone to know that we ' re on the Rampage. Here ' s pie in your eye. Varsity cheerleader Stephanie Lang acts as an applause meter during a pep rally. The louder the crowd got, the higher she sent. Much to the crowd ' s de- light, Coach Williams received the pie treat when the frenzy reached its peak.
