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.

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.
