Although the temperature during the first weeks ofischool soared into the high 90,5 and above 100 degrees, students revved up for what proved to be an eventful year. On August 29 seniors arrived at school dur- ing the wee hours ofthe morning. Their spirit and energy produced dozens of'multi-colored banners, which were hung from the building, the roof, and the parking lot fence. Magazine sales were a close race for all three classes, but seniors managed to come out on top. The first pep rally. presented by the School Spirit Committee and the Varsity cheerlead- ers, involved another competition between the classes. The winner ofthe Mr. Cool ofthe School contest was Nolan Corpening, class of l84. Although the sophomore, junior. and se- nior classes sometime competed, many orga- 12 - Dedication nizations, clubs, and athletic teams formed a bond to raise their standards and to reach even higher goals for Rocky Mount Senior High, Dedicated band members were seen during the peak tanning hours practicing formations in the student parking lot. On the other side of campus, the football team practiced, begin- ning in early August, for what would be a touchy but victorious season. Helping to beautify the school was another sign of student dedication at Rocky Mount Senior High. Long before school started, the National Honor Society busied themselves with gardening on campus. Seniorjohn Sykes turned more than one shovel of' earth outside the main office. Throughout the year Rocky Mount Senior High students persevered in making RMSH synonymous with excellence. Sometimes they faltered, but they always picked them- selves up, dusted themselves off. and con- tinued on their quest. Connie T.

On the rocks, sophomore Cedric Mercer gets a taste of arctic weather in the first pep rally of the football season. He quickly discovers, as sophomores urge him to stay put for one more minute that where one stands on an issue definitely depends on where he sits.
