Wayne initiates entity with uniqueness OIV STRfKF iVi ' rii F ' iL L-AfCi ' ? ? ' 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.
