To everything there is a season Athletics were a big part of the year as new coaches and players alike tried to fit into the South Central and Metro Leagues as a AAA school. New uniforms, cheers, and equip- ment had to be broken in as Rampart teams slowly, but surely, built a reputa- tion for excellence. Media coverage helped to publicize the school and its victories, making Rampart a common name. But all athletes needed fans, and Rampart had more than its share of new-found loyalty in spectators and cheerleaders. As Rampart's personality developed, it became easier to holler support for Ram teams which repre- sented the future alma mater. As each season ended, athletes who had dreaded practices, and fans who had braved the weather found them- selves wondering what to do with their afternoons and weekend nights. But the spare time could always be filled with hopes for the next season or cheers for another sport. SOME S'l'UDliNTS FOUND ways to get involved in Rampart athletics besides being a fan or player. Football Managers Gloria Wagner and Dawn Staf- ford attach face masks to new helmets in preparation for many tackles to come. A PRAC'l'lClijl2RSI2Y says it all. SIZNIORS' LIZADERSIIIP WAS needed on teams to help underclassmen adjust to high school athletics, assist coaches. or just lend an experienced hand. Susan O'Brien demonstrates her talent and proves that practice does pay off. In Uniform division page
