A lot of hassle for a little tassle Community credits While most seniors used high school as a training ground for the real world , concentrating mostly on what to wear to the dance or painting posters for Friday's football game, some students used their senior year to start earning college credit and making career decisions. Each day, 58 Rampart seniors traveled to Pikes Peak Community College to attend classes in many different fields ranging from nursing to auto-mechanics. While these students did take classes at Rampart also, most of their interests were concentrated at PPCC. The heavier work load may have proved too much for some seniors, but jim Daino, who studied auto mechanics said it was the best thing for him. The newer equipment and lengthened periods gave me a chance to get something done. Nursing student Mau- reen Ransom said she found the extra work to be rewarding and a help in preparing her for her career, These PPCC students were also included in regular senior activities, and their participation outside Rampart helped to strengthen the atmosphere of accomplish- ment and purpose inside Rampart.lRQ THE DISTRICT PROVIDED transportation to Pikes Peak Community College for those students who didn't always have access to a car.

A lot of hassle for a little tassle Write on! Senior cashes in on words While some students used high school to uncover talents, others used it for on-the-job training. After writing over twenty-five articles for area newspapers, senior Liz Sharp has had a lot of experience. However, she didn't even become interested in journalism until the ninth grade when Mrs. Sharyn Markus encouraged her to become copy editor of the junior high yearbook. Since then she has been very successful in her writing career. She has been paid for writing numerous articles for the Colora- do Springs Sun, the Gazette Telegraph, and has even sold an article to the popular Seventeen magazine. In school, Liz is involved in the French Club and National Honor Society and hopes to study communications at the University of Colorado at Boulder. She is on her way to meeting this ideal by expanding her journalism education. Besides being editor of the yearbook and newspaper she is also a regular contributor to the Sun's Tempo page, a teen interest sectiog il THE LIBRARY WAS a good place for some quiet time during school. Liz Sharp takes advantage of this while checking for her article in the Sun. L17 Sharp in S3 itij john Mraz ,john Munson '...?' Christopher Murray Paul Nagy W A 'ff-'lf . W f . j I X Rh j 1 . .
