FOR SOME STUDENTS who didn't get enough of the dress-up days during Spirit Week, Halloween was the next opportunity to break away from normal high school attire. Eric Ecklund decides to trade his Levis for camou- flaged fatigues. Going first class We've got spirit Bizarre beings, ranging from rock stars to Bahama beach bums, strolled through Rampart's hallways during the third week in September. No, it was not a Halloween preview. It was the first Ram spirit week: five days of weird wardrobes and awesome assemblies, leading up to the firstcoming game and dance. Monday brought about Anything Goes Day and a variety of costumes, including girls in jammies with teddy bears and people on roller skates. On Rock Day , punk prevailed, and people had metamorphosized overnight from mild-mannered students into rockers with green hair, silk pants, chains, and dog collars around their necks. Students also got a chance to dress up on Bahama Bash, Opposite Sex, and Blue-n-Gold days.

Mr. Pat johnson said, I'm glad that it was girls who were shaving my legs, because they knew what they were doing and were gentle. It tickled. Rampart students didn't need to get into a yelling con- test at football games about which school has more spirit. This week proved that Rampart students do have spirit. iii!

,Wy N aw Despite the coming of Cable Vision and HBO, cinema has remained a major part of high school life. With blow-off classes and crazy an- tics, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, a million-dollar movie which was re- leased at the end of August, psyched students for the coming of school. But when they did return, students found that it was still the same old grind. Music was also a big part of the high school scene, and occasionally a movie came along which could incorporate this, also. Alan Parker's Pink Floyd The Wall was one such film. There, students could not help but be entertained by the visual bizarreness and classic tunes. While it may have been a year of firsts for Rampart, Captain Kirk was concentrating on seconds, namely, Star Trek IL The Wrath of Khan. To ap- pease Trekkies upset over Spock's death, the Captain became an admiral, and plans for Star Trek HL In Search of Spock were announced. But for every hit, there were numer- ous failures.
