2 waaaw L Going first class I1Ot Read or Gne of the harder things about starting a new school was trying to establish a fine reputation for fine arts. But directors and students alike appeared to have felt little pressure about starting from scratch, and went on to do two outstanding performances even before the first semester was over. The performers themselves had little trouble, but the me- chanics of the shows were a little shakey at first. Ramantics , which was performed in early October, was the first production on the new stage. Lights arrived the day before the opening, and the main curtain didn't make it to the school until the afternoon of the show. Despite such last- minute rushes, the show went smoothly and was a great success. Mr.j.B. Trost, Mr. Paul Pedigo, and Mrs. Holly Kroncke directed the show and spent many long hours choreograph- ing and changing music to fit the talents of those in the show. By November, things were a little more settled in and the drama could be performed without too much hassle. Barefoot in the Park was Rampart's version of a dinner theatre and was performed by two separate casts on two nights in mid-November. Also directed by Mrs. Kroncke, this light comedy by Neil Simon was about a young lawyer and his new wife. Mrs. Kroncke commented, I hope this dinner theatre will become a tradition at Rampartflial Tllli PARTS OF Ethel Banks and Victor Valesko were also played by Barb Decker and Les Apodaca. 46 X Barefoot In The Park I 1 SEEMINGLY AFRAID OF THE TRUTH, Ethal Banks Uulie Wfllldj listens fearfully as Victor Valesko CDoug Haleyj explains the events of the night before.

THE EMOTIONS OF Student Council members ranged from wildly enthusiastic to tiredly dejected. Senior Karen Nelson paints a poster in the commons and either whistles or tells the world to kiss off. G When most schools opened for the 1982-85 academic year, traditions had been established. But when students were elected to become members of Rampart's first student government, their work was cut out for them. As Tim Sauer explained, It was hard not to copy other schools when we were trying to set our own tradi- tions. We had to be original. One new idea was to have a grass roots program where representatives from each advisement room were elected. This was to improve com- munication between the council members and student population. It was difficult working with so many inexperienced people. The obstacles Student council l-N... verned b the people were numerous, but the trail to suc- cess was worth it, commented Tim Anderson. Success was an apt word to describe where student council found itself at the end of the year. Three dress-up weeks, two formal dances, and numerous poster-mak- ing sessions later, the council could look back with pride on their accom- plishments: controlling a frenzy of girls at lunch during the football players' slave auction, getting teach- ers to put on everything from roller skates to stilts at assemblies, but most importantly, sharing with over a thousand people their feeling of Rampart pride. Affxy' BY THE TIME sixth hour's Student Council class rolled around, enthusiasm was sometimes hard to muster. ju- niorjeff Blackman tries to get motivated, as sponsor Mt. joe Giarratano writes down ideas from the peanut gal- lery.
