Are you ready to rock!? Alexis Hickman seems anxious while Tristin Jones appears skeptical about riding the Himalaya at the Pitt County Fair. Both Juniors encountered a fast- paced, deafening experience but were all smiles when it was over. Digging the scene! Seniors Allison Carter and Michelle Drake check out the moves on the dance floor at the Art Club dance. The place was the Teen Center and the scene was all fun. There is a little kid in all of us that is bound to show through at the Pitt County Fair. Juniors Jennifer Powell and Missy Coyle appear to be— enjoying themselves despite having to anx- iously wait in the neverending line for the Gravitron. 13

Leaving The Pressures Behind We Encounter A Fun-Filled Frenzy V The 3:15 bell rings and within seconds cars are shooting out of the parking lots on to Elm Street. It is Friday and the weekend is well on its way. Forgetting term pa- pers, tests, and late hours of homework, we begin our weekend adventure by tying up phone lines in hopes of finding out what ' s go- ing on for that night. Is it going to be a Rose game, a wild party with friends, or that big date? A mov- ie sounds nice or perhaps we could even have dinner at our favorite res- taurant. Whether it be Darryls, Chi- cos, or our favorite BK lounge, You ' ve got the look! was the theme of the year ' s first dance and possibly the thought in this Junior ' s head. Brad Myers attempts to capture the atten- tion of Senior Mary Beth Brinn. The dance, held by the Art Club after a home game against Northern Nash, was a celebration of victory. there ' s always food to be eaten. Those of us that are lucky enough to be the big 18 could even scope the social scene downtown. Whatever we decide on, it ' s guar- anteed to be a walk on the wild side as we are unleashed to embark on another two-day weekend. Unfortunately, Mon- day morning comes much too soon. We slowly pull into our designated parking lots with thoughts of all the work we didn ' t do over the weekend. Yawning, we approach each other reluctant, but ready to face another week of all the stress and pressure we call high school. C ' mon Duane, smile for the lady! A newly met acquaintance tries to persuade Duane Holder, a bashful Junior, to show his pearly whites. Both were enjoying a Thursday night filled with food, friends, and fun at the fair. 1 1 12

Pirate Pride through a golden smile. Seniors Susan Sloan and Paula Lynch pose with the ECU mascot, Mr. Pirate, during the game against Georgia Southern. Susan and Paula stayed to watch ECO triumph over the Eagles on Parents ' Day, September 26. Never strangers, always friends, Timmy Moore receives a friendly greeting from Wes MacKenzie at a Pirate football game. Timmy and Wes are only a part of the large number of Rose students who attend these athletic Chug-a-lug! Senior Craig Harrell gulps it down while tailgating before an ECO football game. For Craig and company, tailgating, an impor- tant part of pre-game activities, is as invigorat- ing as the game itself. How about those Pirates! Billy Carr and a friend enjoy viewing the game from the stands on a rather warm September afternoon.
