' True, Wayne High School wasn ' t like any school we ' d been to before. True, we didn ' t get off to the best start in football. It is also true that we didn ' t have the unity we could have wished for early in the year. But, we did have something unique to Wayne . . . We had a challenge. While the taxpayers spent the year arguing as to whether or not they did the right thing, were left to handle the alleged mistake their wisdom had left us. Sure, we had our good times and our bad. Throaghout the year we were plagued with the title, the stem of all the trouble in the Fort Wayne Community Schools System. But, despite all the help we received from the concerned public, we were- ble to smooth out some of our handixiaps. It was a combination of all these factor t+)atfnade us what we turned out to be itvthe end. We were your tax dollars at work. We ARE the Wayne Generals. ' ■ f¥ Peerless , modern apparatus makes new school nice place to visit We were lucky in that Wayne was one of the best equipped schools in the area. We grew proud of the fact that we had things at Wayne that people in other schools thought only existed in some obscure school in Michigan. We discovered a huge stadium made with real concrete, not slats of wood, and equipped with an all-weather track. We found an auditorium that looked as if it had been uprooted in New York and brought to Wayne. We took notice of the fact that we had one of those double deck gyms wi th room for three full sized courts on the floor and one above. As the year progressed, the question came up as to what we were ever going to do with a place called the commons, an indoor arena that made Wayne look like a mall. Maybe we could have boat shows or some- thing. Perhaps, even a prom. We found a planetarium, a unique place that was still a mystery to some people at the end of the year. And there ' s nothing better for a botany class than a greenhouse, now is there? Three dark rooms in the school, a complete intercom system, spiral staircases, color video tape machine . . . It didn ' t take us long to decide that we liked it at Wayne. ' Wf 5ai.,5-« ;i%W ' Leisure acfivifies soften rough edges of daily school life The spirit of Wayne High School grew and extended itself to let the public know that we existed and that we had met our initial challenge. Our spirit withstood all kinds of farm jokes. But we could not be held guilt- less of spreading some of those ourselves. We heard all kinds of riot jokes and football jokes and occasionally a joke or two to the effect that our principal, Mr. William Davis, was working under an assumed name. Wayne took the ribbing during it ' s first year. But there was never a bunch of more invulner- able supermen in history. Wayne ' s spirit grew in experience and learning. But Wayne ' s spirit also grew vyith just plain fun. .4 J 4 J - .V v 1K ' ;-. v% ' Wayne H. 9. Success Story premiers; opening night smash This wasn ' t going to be the success story of Wayne High School. But why not? Wayne spent the entire year working on and worl ing out the initial challenge. Success means different things to different people. Some would still not consider Wayne a success. But, to the Generals, the success came when the pride came in saying, I go there. Success came when spirit developed in a brand new school. Success came when Wayne finally became recognized as an admirable adversary in basketball. Success came when the old school license plates were removed from cars and were replaced with Wayne plates. Success came when the first class of seniors graduated from Wayne. Is Wayne High School really a success story? Ask a General. Qeeds of tradition sprout, take root in rich Wayne soil One might think that anything done at Wayne during its first year will become tradition. Yet another might believe that the second time around for an event will qualify it as tradition. Does this mean that we ' re secure in having a good tennis season next year? Who really knows what will become stan- dards at Wayne? IVIore accurately, one can only speculate. Intentional attempts were made at starting regulars at Wayne. Among these efforts were the establishing of words for a school song, the design of a school insignia and the writing of school policies. A little less school related were the initial prom sponsored by the juniors, the organizing of school clubs, and the yearbook promotional production. If it were desired, the list could go on and on to include such points as only janitors can put up the flag, or access to all rooms on the premises will be made by the doors provided. Will it become traditional not to have any grass on the lawns of the school? The fact remains, to be precise, one can only say maybe. Not all traditions are good anyway. 1 . As part of their annual fine arts program, 5000 Giri Scouts saw the five performances of Moliere ' s comedy, Doctor in Spite of Himself. 2. J, W. Wall, master of senior pranks, was created to confuse office personnel. Here, he stops for a picture with Mary Lou Shelton and Karen Rondot. 3.

Although Fort Wayne has long been acclaimed as the fun and sun capitol of the midwest, it was sometimes difficult for the average student to find something to do that wouldn ' t get him into trouble and ruin his evening. Sometimes, refuge could be taken at The Lantern where one had his choice of dancing, sitting, or getting thrown out. How- ever, dances were irregular and could not be counted on every week or even every month. provide places exhausting week As soon as warm weather started, Foster Park was swarmed with work-weary kids all looking for a place to meet with their friends. Southtown Mall also provided the student a place away from home to unwind and have a good time, unless he was picked up for loitering or looking suspicious. Aside from private parties, drive-ins, the races, or maybe some bowling or a movie, students at Wayne found refuge in perhaps the most inconspicuous place of all: inside the four walls of their bedrooms. Weekends were wild this last year. But, you had to be a soldier to realize it. IL 1. Adjusting the chin strap on his helmet, junior Charles White stops in Foster Park to converse with his friends. 2. Summer entertainment can be found at the raceway, where one can observe or participate in the quarter-mile drags or the oval races. 3. Listening to R.E.O.

As part of one work-study program offered at Wayne, senior Dan Wiles fulfills his apprenticeship working in a local funeral home. 2. Sometimes, doing a 5 to 7 Sunday morning radio show is not particularly easy for junior James Bond, who is usually just as asleep as his audi- ence is at that time. 3. Flowers, greenery, ribbon, flower pot, and a little of senior Rhonda Perry ' s creative talent com- bine to form a symmetrical arrangement. 4. Hospital workers like senior Debra Nunn aid the medical staff by running errands, delivering flowers and transporting patients. Tired students find free time lessening as work increases In an effort to secure a wanted job, not to mention getting out of school a half day, close to sixty students took advantage of Wayne ' s work-study progranns. By applying the year before, students held down jobs of anything from working a shoe shop to work- ing at a funeral parlor. Then there were those students who were not a part of the program and attended school a full seven periods only to finish the day working, leaving little time for televi- sion or even homework. Working did have its drawbacks for many, but rewards came in money, and money has special meaning to those who seem to enjoy movies, ballgames, eating and other such trivial matters. However, the working student at Wayne sometimes found that working did not leave time to spend the money for any of the things he was working for in the first place. 1. In a demonstration speech, senior Dave Seiy shows junior Kris Siela the difficulty in balancing a unicycle. 2. Checking the construction and performance of his plane and its motor assures junior Bob Rain- water ' s safety in flight. 3. Junior Denise Knuth practices her butterfly stroke which later gained her a first place rating in state competition. 4. Catching a foil in the knee, sophomore Chip Kigar tries to resume the stance of a fencer, with the direction of Mr. Henry Wall. page 18 1 2 3 1 I 1 Community affords non-school activity to individual athlete Throughout the year, there were a number of Wayne students taking part in activities outside of school. These pastimes included anything from swimming every morning from 5:30 to 7: 00 for swim team practice to skiing in Michigan whenever the opportunity presented itself. Often, students who appeared to have no interest in sports, excelled in their own fields without the help of inter- scholastic competition. Even those who were not on teams of any real sort or organization learned more about and became more experienced in their interests by simple participation. Directed by the common drive to be free to do what one wants, by ones own choice, and many times in any fashion which seems fit, Wayne High School students could in many instances be given credit for trying to beat the rap and keep out of the de- pression and boredom rut which quite often leads to trouble. In school and out, the Generals were often leaders among peers and in the communities. mx Difficulties appear when cast attempts play performances On May 4th and 5th, the Fine Arts Depart- ment officially made known their existence with the musical comedy, Li ' l Abner un- der the direction of Mr. James Purkhiser. Without a doubt, the Friday night perfor- mance was the better of the two as the cast received a standing ovation for their work. The cast included Warren Hoffman as Abner, Linda Lee as Mammy, Kevin Hinton as Pappy, Karen Rondot as Daisy, Dave Lee as Marryin ' Sam, Doug Mills as Bullmoose, Dave Seiy as Earthquake McGoon, and Greg Weaver as Phogbound. The play itself was plagued with numerous problems including the absence of a stage to rehearse on until 3 weeks beforehand, the absence of cast members for track meets, and nearly the absence of Mr. Robert Tay- lor, orchestra director, for the birth of his son. 1. Marryin ' Sam, Daisy Mae, and Pappy Yokum question Mammy Yokum on her strange and fear- ful vision of danger to Li ' l Abner ' s life. 2. The cast laughs hideously as the Government Man chokes and gasps for air after tasting some of Romeo Scragg ' s good ol ' Mountain Dew. 3. Confusion increases toward the end of the line as junior Judy Kenworthy, right, demonstrates choreographic movements for one musical number. 4. With Phogbound, Fleagle and secretaries look- ing on. General Bullmoose threatens Ap|3assionatta with results of her failure to catch Abner. 5. To the elation of all except Earthquake Mc- Goon, Li ' l Abner unexpectedly but proudly claims Daisy Mae Scragg as his desired future bride. 1 4 2 5 3 page 20 S«MP%- JI F- Assemblies proffer respite from ennui Usually scheduled many months in advance, and always screened to Insure student interest, assemblies were commonplace at Wayne. Depending on the type of assembly, these programs took place in either the gym or the auditorium. Among the entertainment type programs held at Wayne, perhaps the most remem- bered were a play by a traveling company and the production of A Day at Wayne. The play, by the Sycamore Players of Indi- ana State University, was called The Grouch. It took the better part of two per- iods and was well accepted. The production, presented at semester break by the SENTRY staff, was a promotional effort combining slides, movies and a sound- track of students at Wayne. Educational type assemblies included a week-long black history seminar, a talk by the Fort Wayne Student Police Force, and a job-hunting tips program, to mention a few. Pep sessions, a recognition assembly, and others broke the doldrums of a typical day and provided welcome relief. 1 3 2 page 22 1. Finally free from the troublesome Miami Junior High students,- members of all three classes in the senior high saunter into the gym for an assembly program. 2. Rising to meet the occasion. Booster Club mem- bers react to the stand up and holler cheer led by the yelleaders at the pep session. 3. Displaying expert knowledge of dance move- ment and speaking technique, the character of Pan introduces The Grouch to an avid audience. We ' ve Only Just successful future Leaving behind the traditional Lawrence Weik-type approach to music, Madison Zane was selected to best reflect Wayne ' s theme of sudden realization and change, We ' ve Only Just Begun. Students and teachers became equals in the miraculously altered commons where dancing covered a wide spectrum of action from floating to gyrating. The hee-hawing and foot-stomping usually associated with a barn dance were featured in one especially country-style number. Headed by juniors Barb Ballinger, Judy Kenworthy, Mary Lou Shelton and Mike Smith, who outlined main decorating suggestions, 25 enthusiastic students spent Begun prophesies for Wayne proms three days installing the necessary equip- ment for a fountain, false ceiling, bandstand, serving area and coronation stand. Chosen by and from both the junior and senior classes were the king, the queen and their attendants. At The Hoagland Hayloft, after-prom goers pried weary eyes open only to find them- selves continually rotating between listening or dancing to the music of Ironhorse and escaping downstairs for a bite to eat. Dancing became stranger as the dancers tired. Breakfasts and all-day lake outings finished off the weekend as well as its participants. 4. Senior Dan Murnane ' s six feet, five inches made it possible for him to put finishing touches on the eight foot false ceiling. 5. With the fountain in the foreground adding a romantic note, occasional slow dances lent the opportunity for a quick embrace. 6. At the after-prom some couples preferred simply listening to the sounds of Ironhorse to dancing or eating downstairs. 3 5 1 4 6 2 page 25 jates write Wayne diary ' s first entry On June 5, 1972, history was made and tra- ditions set forth in the Memorial Coliseum through the commencement exercises of the first graduating class of Wayne High School. After the processional, Pomp and Circum- stance, solemnized the event. Valedictorian Gary Mines presented his written invocation. Feature speaker of the evening. Dr. Dean F. Berkley was introduced by superintendent of the Fort Wayne Community Schools Mr. Lester Grile. Dr. Berkley, the administrative head of Indiana University, spoke on Who knew not Joseph, which made three chal- lenges to the grads ' lives: to care, to share, and to dare. Diplomas were presented and the ceremony closed with the benediction presented by Salutatorian Candy Mills. 1. Major dilemmas are encountered as junior Sue Richardson gazes at a class ring and an engagement ring, wondering what direction her life will take. 2. Exhibiting two differing paths to follow is se- nior Dave Laudadio as he looks to the future and marriage, then back to school and possible college. 3. Many students face the quandry of whether to go on to college or find a job immediately upon graduation from high school. 1 2 3 page 28 Realization conies as seniors reflect on life ' s quandry We ' ve only just begun to live . . . For many, high school will be the last stop in the preparation for life. For others, college will lead them down different paths toward their ultimate goals. Whatever the case, decisions must be made and plans must be formulated. Changes will appear in people, ideas, and tra- ditions. Sudden changes Slow changes We change all the same It does not affect some without affecting all It touches into the deepest dreams and plans It causes tears or smiles It comes without warning It comes quietly But it still comes Barb Ballinger The end of high school, but the beginning of a new life full of hope, love, and dreams.

' Afro-American Club struggles toward unity and black pride Sponsored by Mr. Charles Sheets, the Afro- American Club became one of Wayne ' s ma- jor organizations. The main objective of this club was to attain unity and black pride. As did most other clubs, the club experienced a slow start but was able to get organized in a few short weeks. The Afro-American Club was able to stage a Black History Week celebration. Plays, speeches and an art display were the high points of the week. In March, the members of the club presented a fashion show centering around spring and summer fashions. A portion of the money earned from this event was donated to the Sickle Cell Anemia Fund. By selling the most tickets for the show, Ricky Sanders and Sara Grant, respectively, won the honors of king and queen. With a soulful picnic, held at McMillen Park on the last day of school, the club ended its first successful year. •? 1 2 4 1.

Membership entitled each Y-Teen member to take advantage of the many ser- vices the Y had to offer: a variety of classes, access to the pool, and many other activities. Y-Teens participated in service projects for the community, such as acting as big sisters to girls in the Craig Hall at State School and running the lamb pen at the Christ Child Festival. But Y-Teens accomplished more than that. They supported dances, picnics, splash parties, FUN! The Y-Teens and Hi-Y Club sponsored a dance on March 1 7. It was a success with each club receiving over $40.00. Both Wayne and Homestead Y-Teens took charge of the snack bar at the International Festival. Four Y-Teen members traveled to Kokomo for a midwinter conference and one attended the Winter Weekend. 1702441 As another Y-sponsored organization, the Hi-Y Club was led by Kent Hesterman. One of their activities was gym and swims, which were held throughout second semes- ter at the downtown YMCA center. During these meetings members of Hi-Y were al- lowed to use the gym and the swimming pool. Included in their program was a show- ing of police dogs by the Indiana Sheriff ' s Department. Mr. Kent Fishel and some returning mem- bers of the club hope that next year circum- stances will enable them to send an under- privileged boy to a Y-camp. To speak or to be silent. That is the question answered Elections of officers in mid-October started the initial formation of the Media Center Club. During the meetings, held whenever necessary, the members of this club learned how to stack books, how to catalogue, and general methods for keeping an orderly li- brary. Students from both Wayne and Miami were permitted to join this club, where they offered assistance to Mr. Weick, the librar- ian. At the June recognition party, pins were awarded, and elections of 72-73 officers were announced. By the use of the materials in the Media Cen- ter, the thirty members of the Speech Club gained speaking experience by presentations in front of an audience. Under the direction of Mr. James McFadden, these students elec- ted club officers, which included President Robin Stith, Vice President Marilyn Faor, and Secretary Lisa Yost. Juniors Jan Johnson and Robin Stith parti- cipated in the auditorium dedication. Robin again spoke at the dedication of the entire building. Winners at speech tournaments were senior Joe Robertson at Bellmont, Jan Johnson at Warsaw, and junior Debbie Arm- strong at the Kiwanis meet. Ron Busch won at the Radio Script Contest. 1.

By publishing a newspaper entitled The Dispatch and a yearbook The Sen- try , the Wayne High School publications staff gave students an insight into school and community life during 1971-72. The Dispatch was distributed on Thurs- days after much preparations by editor Gary Mines and page editors Roger Williams, Carol Wilhelms, Bill Scott, and Sue McMahon. A film production, A Day in the Life of a Wayne Student was prepared and pro- duced by Sentry editor Dave Seiy. As a sales promotion, this film was shown to the student body . . . showing a typical day for Wayne High School students. The Sentry took many people and a great deal of work in order to meet deadlines and arrange lay-outs. But all agree that it was worth it all to be the beginning of a Wayne High School publications tradition. to school affairs 1. YEARBOOK STAFF: Front; V. Staker, M. Shelton, K. Rondot, L. LeFever, C.

Tom Lindenberg at sporting events, the Minutemaids ' main functions were keeping scores, recording each play- ers ' individual points, and timing partici- pants in track meets. By organizing two bot- tle drives, the thirty members of this club raised money for next year ' s treasury. Pres- ident Chris Ehresman, Vice-President Car- olyn Ricketts, Treasurer Rose Winans, and Secretary Sandy Roush presided over the meetings, which were held in the tierd lec- ture room on Tuesday mornings. Chosen from about thirty girls, the varsity cheerleaders also functioned as an orga- nized team backer. During spring tryouts, these five cheerleaders were selected on the basis of their gymnastic stunts, poise, and personality, and their ability to create one original cheer. Once eliminations were com- pleted, the cheerleaders, with girls from other schools, attended a clinic at North Side. Since money was limited last year, the cheerleaders did not receive the chance to attend summer camp. However, this summer the newly elected varsity cheer- leaders did attend a nationwide camp. 1.

At the beginning of the year a council was organized to make the decisions on the ac- tivities and many of the rules. This coun- cil consisted of about twelve boys, with IVIike Smith as president, Greg Keyser as vice-president, and Rick Smith as secretary. The boys had the individual responsibility of forming their own teams in different sports. The sports that the boys partici- pated in included basketball, volleyball, Softball, and track. The track activities re- quired individual efforts, not teamwork, except for relay teams. Any Wayne boy was allowed to join an intramural team, except those boys already on a school varsity team in that particular sport. Equipment from the physical education classes was furnished for use during the school year. All referees were volunteers from the approximately one hundred boys who participated in Boy ' s Intramurals. Intramurals widen to include various ' sport categories With the writing of a constitution and the election of officers. Miss Sally Rietdorf organized Girls Intramurals in early No- vember. Elected officers were Ann Horn, President, Shari Dahm, Vice-President, and Jan Noel, Secretary-Treasurer. The club was divided into five major areas. The first area was gymnastics, followed by basketball, volleyball, tennis, and Softball. About fifty girls participated in gymnastics. The girls were able to use much of Wayne ' s equipment, which included the balance beam, unevens, parallel bars, the horse, the tramp- oline, and tumbling mats. Out of these girls, the most talented were chosen to participate with the boys in the gymnastics show put on at the halftime during one of the home basketball games. Basketball, which started in January, had about thirty-five girls participating. There were five teams, and each team played four games, plus the tournament in February. The girls made up their own teams, each having a captain and a name. One team, the Deviates, remained undefeated and won the tour- nament while another team, the Sneakers, lost all their regular season games. Volleyball started in February and ended in March with a tournament. Each team again was made up by the girls themselves, with eight girls on a team. About fifty-six girls participated in this area. The end of April brought tennis and Softball. Since the tennis courts could only occupy twelve girls at a time, other girls played soft- ball on the football practice field. Next year. Girls ' intramurals may compete against other schools in girls ' sports. page 46 5 1 3 2 4 1 1.

The pike is an elementary position often used to judge one ' s endurance in order to go on to some of the more difficult stunts. Bowling leagues form ai Wayne providing competition for teams From October to May, praying for strikes, hoping for spares, and laughing off gutter balls became a weekly event for some 24 ardent student bowlers. Junior Joe Bowland set a three game series record of 607 early in the season. During the second half of the year, sophomore Ken Filloff blasted out a 256 in a single game to establish a record not likely to be soon broken. Pam Merriman took the honors for girls in both single game and three-game series scores: 182,507. The first-half team winner— Dan Fosnaugh, Bob Meeks, and Bruce Wasylk— eventually won the year ' s championship over runners- up Ed McKaig, Greg Hatcher, and Brian Seiy. Although Wayne ' s male champs lost a post- season match to New Haven ' s best, the Gen- eral girls team nosed out a good New Haven female squad two games to one. 1.

Initial business of compiling a constitution and establishing permanent committees were executed during the early fall of 1971. Choosing the color for graduation robes pre- sented some difficulty for the council, but after a vote, Sistine Blue was the decision. After the Homestead-Wayne game,Council members sponsored the first school dance, which was a success. For the convenience of all, a coat check was provided by members of the council throughout the basketball season. 1.

Individuals should participate for the satisfaction which comes from excelling in a sporting event and not for the awards derived from partici- pation. Thus stands the definition, set by the school, concerning athletic awards. The initial athletic award was a certificate, a letter jacket with a six-block W , and an identification bronze sport pin. A blanket award was made to a graduating senior ac- tively involved in three different sports for at least two years. However, this athlete must have been outstanding in two of these three sports, and also scholastically eligible. Working at basketball games for the service of the school, the lettermen reflected a sim- ilar club, the service workers. These workers volunteered their free study periods to relieve teachers and office personnel from some of their more menial tasks. Delivering notices and absence reports from the office, retrieving absence slips from classrooms every class period, and helping grade papers, were among the numerous duties of these useful aids. 1 2 3 5 4 1.

Choir director Mr. Carl Nicholas arranged the choir in an unusual formation by using quartets where no member in the choir sits near another member of his same vocal section. During fall tryouts, Mr. Nicholas selected twenty-three members from the concert choir to comprise the swing choir. Adding the swing to this group were drums, guitar, and piano accompaniment. Mostly providing background music, these instru- ments also functioned as a sound balancing factor. As the year progressed, the swing choir and concert choir accepted many singing engage- ments. These engagements included various performances ranging from the Mayor ' s Prayer Breakfast and the dedication of the auditorium to singing their repertoire for members of the PTA. 41:1 ' ft rJ itil [ ' | 1 C j H Instrumentalists prove themselves outstanding Nothing could have been any more of a challenge than organizing two musical groups and having them come out sounding as good as the band and orchestra did this year. During the Memorial parade when the band had to march in the rain, in the play L ' il Abner in which the orchestra played, and in all of their concerts, Wayne ' s name at- tained much respect due to their fine performances. The band, rehearsing during seventh period every day, was under the direction of Mr. David Marr. After months of hard work, the band achieved an excellent rating in the state contest held at Homestead High School in April. The orchestra, under the able direction of Mr. Robert Taylor, was hampered by having only a half hour during the day in which to prepare all the selections they performed throughout the year. From the end of March through May 5, the orchestra worked very hard learning the music to L ' il Abner. 1. BAND (picture one): Front; J. Noel, C. Wil helms, A. Windesburg, C. Ricketts, D. Shanayda B.

The club activities were so designed to in- clude leadership training by running club meetings by parliamentary procedures. The Office Educational Association members were involved in fund raising projects which included candy, stationery, and candle sales and car washes. The profits from these pro- jects helped pay expenses for C.O.E. stu- dents who competed in district, state, and national contests in areas of skill building office subjects, leadership development, and Chapter activities. O.E.A. also sponsored the Employer Employee Banquet which honored the training sponsors who partici- pated in training students in various areas of office education. Junior and senior D.E. students were mem- bers of Distributive Education Clubs of A- merica. These students also used their funds for regional, district, and state leadership conferences and their Employer Employee Banquet. Among D.E.C.A. ' s fund raising projects were calendar towel sales, candy sales, and T-shirt sales. The Cooperative Office Education program offered senior students who wanted to pur- sue a career in office and management train- ing study in that specific area. Distributive Education students studied in the field of marketing and distribution. Both C.O.E. and D.E. offered a three phase program which included class instruction, on-the-job train- ing and club activities. All three phases were coordinated together into meaningful learn- ing experience. Under the supervision of Mr. Kenneth Sur- ber, about sixteen students participated in the I.C.T. program. By attending classes at the Regional Vocational Center, these I.C.T. students learned the basic training for a tech- nical vocation.

When asked why, he replied, It ' s what ' s happening in the American theater. People ' s likes and dislikes change and this is what ' s popular now. Finally, what used to be dull grammar, became a somewhat excit- ing experience for both creative writers and students who are anticipating future careers in English. Four languages are offered at Wayne High; French, German, Latin, and Spanish. During the first two years, verb forms that will be used as the student becomes affluent in his language are covered. This year, all second year materials were new. Third and fourth year students, who learn useful and practical skills, had a delay in the distri- bution of texts; however, they read news- paper and other materials to expand their skills. At Wayne, only French and Spanish students had the opportunity to take four years of their language. open classrooms encouraged by Qocial Qtudies Department World History, United States History, Gov- ernment 1 and 2, Sociology, Economics, and Geography were the courses of study offered by the Social Studies Department, headed by Mr. Charles Sheets. As department chairman, Mr. Sheets en- couraged participation in community pro- jects. One goal that teachers had was to develop the skills of students in asking and answering questions. Collecting and using valuable information was required of stu- dents in social science. Team teaching existed in many classes, where student teachers assisted regular teachers by instructing classes during the last few weeks of the year. In some classes, even students became teachers, teaching the class whatever they felt was important or what- ever they thought they could get away with. History courses offered the heritage of our nation and of the world. The social science classes also introduced the backgrounds and workings of public and private institutions. page 64 2 1 3 4 1 Even with stimulating course offerings and teaching methods, iVlr.

Mafh, business classes try for accuracy Wayne ' s Math Department offered a diversity of interesting courses for all stu- dents. For the sophomores, the basics of alegebra, geometry, and general math were offered while juniors concentrated on second year Algebra and General Math. For seniors the math hour was spent studying Tri- gonometry and Analytic Geometry. In add- ition to these regular classes, several accel- erated courses were offered for math-minded students. In contrast to the Math Department, the Business Department provided a variety of general business, clerical, and stenographic courses for vocational and business training. Notehand and typing courses, designed to help students develop speed and accuracy in each field, were on the . curriculm for college preparatory students. Those who were headed for the world of business or economics gained additional knowledge through the accounting. Business Law, and clerical courses. 1 2 4 3 5 1.

Laboratory experience provided a necessary phase of learning in that students were able to see and appreciate great achievements in science, not simply read about them. Chemistry, one of the most important stud- ies emphasized the activities of experimen- tation and observation rather than the ac- cumulation of numerous facts. Principles were developed so that chemistry could be interpreted and understood by students. Designed to develop understanding of nat- ural physical laws, physics, aided by the planetarium, presented the relationships of earth to other heavenly bodies. Artists thrive in creative atmosphere Besides focusing on usual classroom acti- vities, art classes, taught by Mrs. Barbara Thexton, participated in making props and posters for LIT Abner. Other projects in- cluded articles for Afro-American History week, the Scholastic Art Contest, and table decorations for the honors awards banquet. The fundamental elements of design, color, texture, line, and form were instilled in the minds of beginning art students. ' The stu- dents also displayed their creative ability with plaster and clay forms. Meanwhile, second year students experimen- ted with montage, weaving, and designs for monuments. For extra credit, they worked with the theater arts classes on props and helped design some scenery for the play. Photography was a new unit introduced for the advanced art class. Utilizing the new and well equipped darkroom, they experi- mented with different aspects in taking and developing pictures. Individual creativity was also encouraged and spotlighted as a new aspect for the advanced art class. 1.

Under the direction of Mr. James Purkhiser, drama students learned the fundamentals of articulation, poise and projection. This knowledge was put to use during three separate dramatic productions given for the student community. Providing the mechanical backing for the actors, stagecraft class acquired skill in back stage work: prop design, lighting and make-up. Students interested in oratory expression gained confidence and knowledge of proper speaking techniques. With sponsor Mr. James McFadden ' s guidance, class members participated in the auditorium and school dedications and various speech meets. 1.

Music talents expressed within structure of class arrangement An air of uncertainty was felt by each of the music teachers: Mr. David Marr, Mr. Carl Nicholas, and Mr. Robert Taylor. Each not knowing what he would be able to do with the limited amount of supplies and unknown number of students, took on his job with a small bit of nervousness. Previous to the opening of Wayne, band members were found on the Kekionga Ju- nior High premises marching and playing their instruments. Steadily throughout the football season, the organization became more acquainted with techniques and uni- formity of marching. As the football season came to a close, a pep band was formed to play at all home basketball games. In ad- dition to concerts and capturing a second place trophy at the NISBOVA contest, the Generals also marched in the Memorial Day Parade and provided the music for the 1972 commencement exercises at the Allen Coun- ty War Memorial Coliseum. The orchestra, musically balanced after a slow start, performed in all Wayne music concerts. Proving the talent and quality of the musicians, the orchestra accompanied the musical, Li ' L Abner. For the more advanced students, there was a Music Theory and a Music Arts class. These courses required that each person possess a greater degree of creativeness. With the new Wayne choir came the forma- tion of Wayne ' s swing choir. Both the choir and swing choir performed at a variety of events: performing before a television audi- ence, the Mayor ' s Prayer Breakfast, and the dedication of Wayne High School. Reading lab, media center, journalism encourage learning Reading Lab is designed to take any stu- dent from his present level of reading and help him to improve, stated Mr. Kent Fishel, reading lab instructor. Consisting mainly of sophomores, the class also en- ables the student to better comprehend what he reads. These reading abilities become useful in the school ' s new Media Center. Due to the combination of the Miami and Wayne facil- ities, the Center holds 24,000 books, maga- zines, and research volumes to attain one of the largest libraries in Fort Wayne Communi- ty School System. An outstanding asset is the audio equipment available to students for an added dimension tp learning. Al- though there was somewhat of a delay in the completion of the Media Center, stu- dents were agreed that the beautiful com- plex was well worth the wait. Another aspect of reading includes journal- ism students. However, instead of doing the reading, they did the writing. These writers of the future acquire experience through imitation of newswriters in current news- papers and magazines. At Wayne, the more advanced students were encouraged to write articles for the school newspaper, THE DISPATCH, in their spare time. 1.

Enrollment in these courses prepared juniors and seniors for employment after graduation by allow- ing them to work for area employers. Each employer scheduled student working hours around the required half -day of classes. DE is a program of instruction which deals with marketing, management, and merchan- dising, explains IVliss Peggy Tellman. A- mong the eleven area retailers who spon- sored the DE program were J. C.

As one feature at Wayne, the universal gym machine, used for weight lifting, provided a chance for guys and even girls to par- ticipate in something quite different from other sports. The major fall sports, interesting to both boys and iirls, included tennis, soccer, and football. Also, the girls gained experience in field hockey. In winter and spring, the key sports that presented enjoyment for students were basketball, paddleball, volleyball, archery, gymnastics, golf, and badminton. Along with these other sports, they boys ' gym classes were involved in track, cross country, hand- ball, and table tennis Many other conveniences, such as an auxiliary gym, laundry rooms, and crank-up baskets, helped to create a new awareness among students involved in physical ed- ucation classes. 9hop, Home Ec offer useful facilities Acting as complements to each other, the home-ec and shop classes offered all students a chance to express themselves with their handiwork. Both were well equipped with modern facilities, making school more enjoyable at times. Power mechanics classes devoted the maj- ority of the year to working with engines similar to those used in lawn mowers. Wood shop gained skills on wood working machines, while the metal shop learned to use metal lathes, milling machines, and welders. On the opposite side, the home-ec depart- ment was split into four basic categories. One, the housing classes, took advantage of a field trip to the Berne Furniture Co. to obtain first-hand knowledge of how furni- ture is manufactured. The human develop- ment classes visited the Bridal Shop for a special project to acquire information about wedding attire. The standard two aspects of home-ec, foods and clothing spent the year learning new skills which will benefit them in their later lives. 1 4 2 3 5 1.

The squad then moved into Wayne ' s new facilities and began to prepare for a season of competition against more experienced gridiron squads. Despite their 0-8 record, the men on the team did a fine job. Overcoming inexpe ri- ence, lack of size, and the problem of getting to know each other, the gridmen had one of the stingiest defenses in the city. Only twice did they give up more than one 1.

Quoting Coach Lindenberg: It has taken . . . one year to become familiar with one another and our football program. We feel that now we can point all our energy toward establishing a successful season for next year ... I feel this can be accomplished with the eight returning lettermen. The men on this year ' s team never gave up trying for success and set an example all Generals should strive to follow. 1 2 5 4 3 page 87 We discovered a huge stadium made with real concrete, not slats of wood, and equipped with an all-weather track ...

Hard work and en- thusiasm went into the sophomore season this year. Several young Generals were re- cruited to see varsity action, thus giving them experience which will prove to be of tremen- dous value in coming years. Also, a great ad- vantage to the team was the opportunity to practice with the varsity. Now, with a year ' s experience under their belts, the team looks good, and the varsity team for next year looks promising.

Coaches Doehrman, DeTurk, and Fox began preparations for the Generals ' first basketball season back in May of 1971. By November they had taken players from a number of other schools and molded a squad of hard- working men. Covering a span of five months the squad compiled a fine 12-10 log. Nearly every game was close-only three contests slipped away by more than five points and three games were overtime thrillers. At one time the Gen- erals perched atop the city scramble, and af- ace fourth in rebuke skeptics ter fading in mid-season, finished strong in the strange chase. They ripped through the field in the Home- stead Tourney to capture the school ' s first trophy. They toppled arch-rival Elmhurst in an SRO contest, when the Trojans were closing on North Side. Coach Doehrman ' s charges took the city ' s best defense into the Sectional and reached their peak in polishing off Woodlan.

To experts, the game is known more explicitly as power volleyball. The sport grew quickly on the west coast, spreading into the interior of the country. It is one of the major athletic events of the Summer Olympic Games. Tom Beerman, coach of Wayne ' s first power volleyball squad, did most of the work on his own in training our first squad, and after only five weeks of practice, the squad took part in their first state meet. They defeated Heritage and Northrop, whom they had played since autumn, and at the state meet the squad took third place. Sophomores composed the bulk of the squad with the only upperclassmen being Paul Mathias and Jon Klein. Coach Beerman credited the loss to lack of experience.

Despite a lack of numbers, the Gen- erals ran on the heels of powerhouses South Side and Elmhurst. Making impressive showings at sectional and regional meets, John Mitchell and the half- mile relay team, consisting of Mitchell, Andre Hamilton, Ted George, and Tom Gust, came home from state in 7th place. Mitchell placed first in the 100 yard dash and the 180 low hurdles, while the relay team came in fifth in their competition. Starting before Christmas, the team worked diligently toward their opener in Blooming- ton, which was unspectacular and unevent- ful. But as the men began to be placed in what they did best, things fell into place. Near midseason, junior John Mitchell climbed into the state ' s top times and con- tinued to hold it in the low hurdles for the rest of the season. At one time, the 880 relay team held the state best and, along with the rest of the squad, won the Lime City Relays, and placed fourth in the North Side Relays. 1 2 3 1.

They compiled just eight victories as compared with thirteen defeats. In the jostling for the first city pennant, the Generals finished a distant sixth with a 2-5 log. They were as- signed to the Bluffton Sectional but were shaded by Portland despite the two-hit, 16- strikeout effort by sophomore Steve Reed. With only four seniors to bolster the club. Coach DeTurk went with underclassmen on the whole, and experience was the lacking factor in the Generals ' initial season as only one man carried any experience in prep baseball. Pitching was a sore spot, and lack of depth was too big an obstacle to overcome. An overabundance of errors led to runs costing the team victories, and lapses as far as play- ing as a team were costly to the Generals at the season progressed. Next year holds more promise for the Wayne nine as they only lose four men. Hopefully the pitching staff will be stronger and deep- er to back the batters who also should be strong. With other schools losing vast num- bers and the Generals returning with a veteran team, the diamond crew should be a stronger contender towards city and tourna- ment laurels as well as gaining respect at home. 1 .

Coach John Churchward had a relatively small turn-out and only a few members had high school experience. Poor weather also proved to be a noticeable handicap as the young Generals were hampered with poor playing conditions early in the season. Fortunately for the team, things picked up as the year progressed. Despite shooting many high scores, Wayne ' s linksmen won two out of their first three matches. After their first city meet, they began to improve, but ended the season with a 10-19 record. Although it was clearly an up and down sea- son plagued with inconsistent scores, there are some promising freshmen coming in that should brighten Wayne ' s future on the golf courses and add to the list of winning sports. 1.

Good form doesn ' t always bend the shaft of your driver, and it didn ' t really here either, but it did make for a good distance shot by sophomore Randy Hatlem. In this triangular match at Fairview golf course against Northrop and South Side, Wayne came in second with a score of 209. 3. Making it look easy.

They were told to get there early, so this group of almost graduates, led by Fred Hites, strolled the hallways of the coliseum to kill some time. 1 3 6 2 4 5 page 119 Graduating Generals bid farewell; seek to encounter new endeavors Along with the distinction of being the first graduating class of Wayne High School, the seniors of 72 experienced the frustrations of changing schools for their senior year and of being separated from their peer group. Led by President Ron Busch and Vice Presi- dent Steve Underwood, the class totaled 250 with 20 January graduates. Throughout the year, the seniors dedicated a Christmas tree to the school, planned a dance for February 19, and once defeated the underclassmen for the spirit award, a grandiose general ' s sword. Serving Wayne in the capacities of President and Vice President of the Student Council were seniors Monte Franke and Dan Murnane. Gary Mines, academically in the top 5% of his junior class, was appointed editor of the school ' s newspaper, named the DISPATCH by Cathy McMahon and Kevin Johnson also seniors. At the same time, Dave Seiy, former AN LI BRUM sports editor of Elmhurst, was named editor-in-chief of Wayne ' s first year- book, which was subsequently dubbed THE SENTRY by Mr. Lester Howell of West Virginia. Pursuing their musical and dramatic inter- ests, seniors Warren Hoffma n and Karen Rondot played the leading roles in the musical LI ' L ABNER. In sports, numerous seniors excelled. Steve Wallace qualified for the All-City Football team. Warren Hoffman and Steve Wallace made the All-South-Division Football team. Tim Smiley was named to both the All-City and All-Sectional Basketball Teams. From the tennis team, Joe Garrett and Steve Underwood won the sectional doubles.

DON LOCKE ROBERT MEYERS page 158 Administrafion encounters firsf problems; construct foundation Wayne ' s administration faced numerous dif- ficulties in the school ' s first, important, integrated, and somewhat chaotic year. To start with, there were even questions arising as late as August, 1971 about whether the building would be ready for occupation in September. When school began, students and faculty walked into a building that was half-completed and had no air-conditioning in eighty and ninety degree heat. Students roamed the halls alongside construction workers. By the end of the year, however, all major facilities were complete and this problem was solved. Another major problem faced by the ad- ministration was the racial tension, erupting with the incidents of late September. Unthinking and malicious students posed a serious threat to the learning process at Wayne. The administration sought to expel continual offenders, and many of the agitators were eliminated. The administration sought to provide worth- while education for all students regardless of whether they planned to become a doctor, a mechanic or a worker at a restaurant. They sought to make Wayne a good place to learn and teach. 1.

And appropriately, it is time to say thanks to all who helped me get out this first annual. This year has really been an experi- ence for me. It involved a lot of work. Any one of the people listed on page 1 88 wil be able to tell you that. I ' m sure I would have never made it through the year without the help of certain individ- uals. First off, thanks to Fred. Despite his slight lack of housekeeping etiquette and his heavy addiction to Cokes, he ' s an O.K. dude. Thanks to Mr. DeYoung. He may not realize it but he helped me to really enjoy photo- graphy by telling me how good the pictures were that he was holding in his hand, even before he found out they were mine. Hark the herald angels sung . . . Glory be to John DeYoung. Thanks to Dick Kennard, our representative from Newsfoto Yearbooks. Here ' s a man I can admire for his wisdom and ability to leave me totally confused every time I talk to him trying to work out a problem. Thanks to Ray Dobbs, our representative from Root Photographers, for betting Jim Sweeney ten dollars that we couldn ' t do a good job doing our own group pictures, and losing. Wi A special thanks goes to Marylou, for put- ting up with my stray thoughts this last year. Hang in there, Lou. Next year it ' ll be you. O.K. all you yearbook judges, tear that last paragraph to pieces. Thanks to my teachers for letting me out of class to do some yearbook work and especial- ly for the times they didn ' t let me out, when I was in the pub room working on yearbook anyway. Mr. Churchward, Mr. McFadden, Mr. Purkhiser and even Mr. Madden, thanks. Color by Crayola One final word of thanks goes to Mr. Fishel for giving us the inspiration to continue on in the taping of the yearbook production soundtrack by always yelling at us complain- ing that the music was too loud. And now, even my letter is at an end. And so, I leave Wayne High School, the place I didn ' t really want to come to, realizing that I don ' t really want to leave. And Linda, take care of this book, alright? Good luck to you. I know you ' ll do a good job. Geeee-ol!
