'ROUND THE TOWN took on a new meaning as the show choir earned a reputation for themselves by performing at various functions, including at area malls, at the Four Seasons, and for the dedication Going first class In tune With the '8O,s Four bands and five choirs kept Rampart's halls full of mellow sounds. Madrigals, the Gold Dust Show Choir, Chorale, Girls' Choir and Fes- tival Choir were directed by j.B. Trost and kept students as well as their mem- bers humming in the commons. 2 T The Concert, jazz, Pep, and Marching bands kept fingers snapping and feet tapping to swinging '50's music and especially to the ew fight song. Unlike most high schools who rah, rah, rahed to college fight songs, Rampart had her own victory tune composed by a friend of Director Bill Dykshorn's, Mr. Frank Plam- beck. Although auditions were needed to sing with the Show and Festival choirs, as well as Madrigals, anyone with a warm body and air in their horn could play in the bands, said Mr. Dykshorn. Music in the school made tests in the classroom a little easier, and hearing a clear note on a cloudy day made the sun shine a little bri hter. g E22 !G?

Trost, a combination of the choirs perform for interested community members at Rampart's dedication in Sep- tember.

BEING A DUNGEON master proved to be hard work as Bryon King led a group through a maze of tunnels. CONCENTRATION WAS THE KEY as Kirk Ketelson ii- and Russ Augustine vied to be the winner. The Masters T he closest most students came to firebreathing dragons and dark, musty dungeons was watching Ex- calibur in English Lit or Dragons- layer on cable T. V. But a dozen students experienced these encoun- ters, and many more, every week, as they met to go on tremendous travels and exhilerating adventures. They were the Dungeons and Dragons Club. Their specialty was fantasy, and their weekly meetings were never dull, as they battled evil knights or terrifying demons, searched the corners of the world for fabulous treasures, or marshalled ar- mied to overthrow evil kings. Meanwhile, another group in school used another kind of strategy in a different game - chess. The Chess Club, sponsored by Mr. Gary Riter, competed against many schools around the state. Pat Hollen, the president and first board of the club, said, I thought it was a lot of fun. We had the chance to find out how good we really were when we competed against other schools.l'IRQ Dungeons and DragonsfChess Club xt 5 gr . x A E FRONT: Russ Augustine, Kirk Ketelson,Jim Par den eff Norton and ohn Berg chen, Steve Spotog BACK: Pat Hollen, Brian Bow P elk N '
