BRUCE SNYDER-Assistant Superintendent Take me to our leaders The nine months people spend in school each year always produce a variety of emotions. But according to Principal George Bolte, the feelings that accompany the opening of a new school can be divided into six specific phases: lj eagernessg 2D optimismg 55 disillusionmentg 45 panicg Sl who did thisg and 6D let's get him. Rampart felt each of these feelings alternately throughout the year, but one more phase should be added: triumph. This was the feeling Rampart left peo- ple withg and as soon as it was experienced, all others were forgotten. THE SCHOOL BOARD was responsible for the decision to build Ram- part, and with it came many additional headaches. President Reagan's budget cuts were a major issue throughout the year.

With computers being in one's everyday life, some schools are thinking about requiring a computer course before graduation. Mr. Auck said, I don't think we should require it yet, but in the future, it will become necessary just like math, English, and science. In the fu- ture, a basic computer education will probably be needed to get a job. IRQ n 5, at.. . ....., s,.i.. , ,...

A touch of class Taking care of business A s the smell of freshly-popped popcorn filled the halls during sixth hour, students knew that school was almost over and afternoon activities would begin with MDE there to provide the refreshments. Marketing and Distributive Education is an elective that prepared students for entry-level employment in market- ing and distributive occupations. Students got experience by working in the student store and concession stand, and although the students didn't get paid, they did receive credits that went toward graduation. Besides providing various articles for classes, everything from recipe card files to computer mini-disks, the student store also sold jerseys, gym shorts, and sweaters. The concession stand however, didn't open until after school when it sold everything from popcorn to zemies to rejuvenate tired Rams after workouts or meetings. Half of the profits went to the junior class for their activities which included sponsoring the Prom. ER STUDENTS WITH MONEY often ended up buying their friends snacks.
