From Prom Night To Grad Night, From Bourbon Street To Ficklen Stadium, It Was A - Celebration Of Good Times I For a night, the Hilton became Bourbon Street and the Mardi Gras celebration had begun. Vibrant colors and music of The Amateurs filled the night and the prom of 1988 was un- der way. Many of us who attended wished we could make it last forever, but as the hours passed, we realized that an even bigger event was close at hand. The last weeks before gradu- ation are a traditional time to party for our tomorrow people. The fun of the prom is continued through the Junior-Senior weekend, an annual event of fun under the sun as stu- dents head out for a long weekend at the beach. Memories of that weekend keep everyone smiling until the an- ticipation and excitement overcome us and our attentions turn to that one last high school event. The long hard work of twelve years of school is about to pay off. We wait anxiously in line with our friends by our side and can ' t help but recall memories of the last few weeks. We went from Mardi Gras on Bourbon Street to Graduation Night in Ficklen Stadium, but how did it happen so fast? The Class of ' 88 is filled with every emo- tion: sadness, anxiety, fear, curiosity, and uncertainty about the future. Fi- nally we hear our name and march across the stage to receive our long awaited diploma and traditionally end with the turning of our tassels. We got it! These Seniors Mike Atkinson, Rod- ney Alston, Tyrone Barnes, Mike Adams, Rob- bie Barnes, Chris Austin, David Allen, Clar- ence Baker, and Tommy Baker celebrate graduation with diplomas in hand. Shanna Baker, Susan Aycock, Michelle Avery, Ruth Anderson, Amy Allen, Christy Al- exander, Deaundrea Adams, and Danielle Ad- ams are recent graduates and are proud of their twelve years achievements. These Seniors anxiously await to receive their diploma. Although they have spent many long hours to achieve this goal, it seems to most of them like only yesterday that they entered the doors of Rose High School as Sophomores.

As the years progress and each graduating class gets closer to being Seniors, what once was nothing has now turned into cold blowing dreams. The Seniors put their fears deep inside themselves as they look forward to success. Alone they cry, silent tears full of Rampant pride, their memories of high school and friendships will never leave them.
