WALKING OVER THE bridge into Ihe old Fort Wayne transports one into another time. The fort was built in 1976 as part of the bicen- tennial celebration. Fort Wayne . . . Alive! Even though we didn ' t admit it, Fort Wayne held many things for us to do. When we felt like dressing up for a sophisticated evening, there was always a fantastic play to see at the Civic — complete with cast members from Elmhurst! Walks in the park, a day at Franke, or getting everyone together to play foot- ball would meet our needs perfectly COLUMBIA STREET ON the Landing was one of the principal business streets in Fort Wayne for nearly a century. when we wanted a simpler time. Looking for entertainment took us everywhere. The search led us to the malls, theatres, parties, concerts, Pizza Hut, Komet hockey games, Jimmie ' s, downtown, and our own EHS sport events. We all knew that it was our fault if we were ever bored. Fort Wayne is alive and living! We all knew it — but we ' d never admit it! 1 TAKING A SEAT in Freimann Square can give one a view of the fountain, the Allen County Courthouse, and the Fort Wayne National Bank building. 1 4 Student Life

SPIRIT WEEK CAN bring out a lot of hidden beauties — the powderpuff cheerleaders! The senior squad consisted of Chuck Holt, Karl Kline, Jim Sonday, [ack Spear, Bill Lawrence, Mark Muri. and Dave Willis. OVERALLS. PAINT STAINS, and a mis- matched scarf can only mean one thing to sen- ior Cyndi Herstad — It ' s Dress-Down Day. Letting Loose With Spirit When was it that Elmhurst really began to show spirit and originality? It was the week we listened to the PA threaten the junior powder-puffers, dis- courage sophomore float meetings, remind the seniors to be at Lank ' s, and show sympathy for the death of the freshman float. It was the week we couldn ' t recog- nize our friends behind the Groucho Marx glasses, the huge suckers, the greasy hair and bright red lipstick, the seldom-worn suits and dresses, and the sweatshirts that Mom tried to throw out last year. It was the week we watched the sexy senior powderpuff cheerleaders lead their team on to a 6-0 victory. It was a week that brought out the individuality of the Elmhurst students. Whether it was wearing a toga for Greece Day, or simply finding out what your friends thought Groucho Marx looked like, it all contributed to the unique Spirit Week. PREPARATIONS FOR THE Homecoming pep rally and parade continue despite the threatening weather.
