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.
