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.

Park, Mall, Lantern for unwinding after As if his life at school weren ' t enough with world-shal ing decisions, the student at Wayne was weekly faced with the problem of what to do over the weekend. 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.
