The class of 1974 had an identity belonging to no other class. With no form- er attachments to South Side or E Imhurst, from which the majority of the first clas- ses came, our class is recognized as the first class to complete its entire high school education at Wayne. Derived from that statement, the senior class of 1974 constitutes the first true Generals. Along with this distinction came the realization that, through the past three years, immeasurable changes have erupt- ed. We were born into the school. To- gether we helped raise and develop the school into an educational stronghold through the establishment of traditions. And now it has fully matured and blos- somed out into a real school. Through this change from newness to an established school, the development of Metamorphosis provided a good, sound theme. Defined to be a physical or biological change, metamorphosis grew to be a perfect fit for the year. And so the book fashions a composi- tion metamorphic in style. The progres- sion of the school year advances in a chronological order with the format simi- lar to that of several magazines. Two- and three-column layout designs combined to forgi the basic style. But most import- ant is that it follows through the seasons reflecting the unending process known as Metamorphosis. (Left) Change has come about at Wayne, not only through tradition, but also in the phys- ical appearance. 4 Opening I ( Left) A daring vandalsim act netting (Below) Though students arrived at school $4,000 did leave something behind: the m mere snow flurries, by early afternoon famed hole in the wall. they witnessed a blizzard. Area news affects Wayne Besides the numerous major nation- al issues such as the resignation of Vice-president Spiro Agnew, the Water- gate investigation, and even the wed- ding of Secretary of State Henry Kis- singer, several changes emerged with- in our own community. As a result of the energy crisis which has had a drastic effect on the entire nation, the rise in gasoline pri- ces, lowering the speed limU to 55 mph, closing gasoline stations on Sun- days, and, in some cases, limiting the amount of gas to be bought at one time has controlled and often eliminated excess driving and cruising trips. As a local project, the old, unsafe Van Orman Hotel was torn down. A famous landmark to Fort Wayne, it also held sentimental value to lifelong cit- izens of the city. News also made its way into the school. In mid May, vandals broke in through the choir room and escaped with $4,000 in music equipment includ- ing cymbals, speakers, and a synthe- sizer. Luckily, police recovered the merchandise, and the vandals were prosecuted. Most Gens welcomed record-break- ing snowfalls and the extra vacation which resulted from Mayor Lebamoff ' s state of emergency declaration.

The recently dedicated Fine Arts Center gave many a chance to perfect their acting ability and to acquire set construction and lighting skills. With the energy shortage, one would also think a clothes shortage went into effect. Streaking (publicly running nude) emerged as a popular pastime on college campuses and made its way into songs and commercials, but re- mained distant from Wayne halls. Other pastimes varied from simply visiting parks, zoos, and museums to intricate hobbies of photography and art which challenged the talents of creative minds.

' Full-blooded ' Gens attest to success in spirit, unity It was inevitable, 1 suppose, that sooner or later everyone would give in to the fact that we were bound togeth- er by a common bond. It wasn ' t just being thrown together into a new en- vironment that made us this way. In fact, it took us three years to gain a new identity. The class of 74, the first class to experience all three high school years at Wayne, seals this bond. Never be- fore could we fully claim the identity for in past years, students were ag- gregated from various denominations- from Elmhurst, South Side, and other high schools. We are no longer half- Trojan, half-general or two-thirds Archer, one-third General. We are full-blooded Generals. This special attitude never exist- ed before, but through it developed a sense of spirit and unity which in pas! years has been lacking. We belong to a new identity, for we have gradually changed physically, spiritually, and emotionally in a metamorphic manner. We have emerged, moth-like, from the initial stage of 1972 to the full-blown totally committed form of the Wayne Generals.

To make the courses more exciting, teachers experimented with the use of videotaped television programs, especially in Mystery and Suspense. in this course some students worked with their short-story talents. Some of their stories were printed in the Dispatch. Video-tape was also used in speech, allowing the students to observe their actions and improve their methods of speaking. Speech classes incorporated a nine-week class in Basic Communication which lightly covered areas more deeply studied in the regular speech classes. Another addition was Advanced Speech. Members of the Speech Team winning a- wards included Steve Taylor, placing in the broadcasting regional, Lois Levihn, Gayle Smith, and Kurt Schryver for re- gional oratory and extemporaneous. Next year students beginning in the journalism field may use one semester for either English or journalism credit and any additional journalism will be for journalism credit only. The Basic Journalism classes have broadened their exposure to mass communications media to include radio, television, and maga- zines, rather than just newspapers as they had done previously. The classes toured the news-Sentinal Journal-Gazette building to observe how papers are pro- duced.

The theatrical department produced three plays: Wait Until Dark: Adaptation: and Funny Girl, the spring musical. Mr. McVey inquired about a nine week course in makeup, but currently there is no state- approved text on the subject. Although the art department has not revised its curriculum since last year, there will be two fir st year courses next year according to Mrs. Barbara Thexton, department head. One will emphasize crafts to give students an opportunity to pursue their individual skills. Outstanding art student Rhonda Sand- ers received the Hallmark Award in the annual L. S. Ayres ouma -Caze e art contest for this area. Other students who achieved honors were Deb Stouder, Cheryl shultz. Deb Nichols, Carol Mason, Craig Gilliam, and Deb White, each being aCold Key Finalist. Joe Taylor won first prize in a state-sponsored poster contest per- taining to public health careers. Art classes had an opportunity to visit the Indianapolis Museum of Art to exam- ine a recently-acquired Indian art exhibit.

Mr. Carl Nich- olas conducts all choirs; varsity, girls ' , concert, and swing. In the State NISBOVA contest, the swing choir earned a superior rating. Out- standing swing choir activities included performances at the Foster Park Lions ' Club (honoring prep tennis players), the Fall Athletic Banquet, adult Boy Scout leaders ' meeting, the VA Hospital, and the PTA State Convention. Wayne ' s full-strength performing vocal group, the concert choir also caroled at the VA Hospital and performed for the Northern Indiana School Superintendents ' Association at the downtown Sheraton. The choir participated in the dedication of the Fine Arts Center and took part in the WLYV Christmas program. WANE-TV hosted the group on the Ann Colone Show. (Top left) SWING CHOIR: Row 7— Sue K.

The marching band, which began prac- ticing even before school opened, per- formed in the Memorial Day parade down- town. They also marched in four halftime shows during the football season. In addition to the winter and spring concerts, the concert band provided the music for commencement, held at Wayne. The orchestra had the task of provid- ing the music for the spring musical, Funny Girl, in addition to playing for the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion. They also performed in the annual spring concert and gave a special pop concert entitled the Spring Thing along with the stage band. Croups such as the lU jazz band from the regional campus, the Ball State Sym- phony Orchestra, and the Evansville string quartet were special guests of the music department.

Spirit week activities attract Homecoming Chairman Debbie Lebamoff and vice- chairman Kevin Cemmill called meetings in the spring of 1973 to make preliminary plans for the 1973-74 Hom ecoming. They selected the committees as well as the committee heads. On August 22 the com- mittee heads held a meeting in which they discussed the activities for Home- coming week. The committees met with sponsors Leiman, Sawyer, and Davis in order to have plans for Homecoming approved. Sharon Cox, chairman of halftime props, utilized Mr. McVey ' s stagecraft classes in the assembly of the backdrop used for the Homecoming Queen coronation. Homecoming week began with the Powderpuff football game between the girls of the junior and senior classes. Cheryl Bellis scored a touchdown as well as tackling Karen Merchant for a two- point safety. Nancy Yeoman also made a touchdown. The seniors, as well as their coaches, received an Honors Breakfast for stomping the juniors 14-0. The band room walked off with first prize in the poster contest also held dur- ing the week. The theme was Footsteps Worth Following. Each student discovering the identity of the secret teachers during the var- ious pep days throughout the week won a dollar. The peps were: Blue and Red will knock ' em dead, Stomp South, Hats off to Generals, and Dress up your spirits. During the week there were several pep sessions which included an assort- ment of skits by the cheerleaders, and each class was also represented. The winners of Dress up and Dress down days, as well as the daily Pep Dollar winners, received prizes. The coaches spoke briefly and introduced the football team. Long hours of diligent work by the chairmen, the committee and the sponsors made Homecoming 73 a total success. 22-Homecoming week c (Below) Spoofing old ladies, cheerleaders Sue Busch, Julie Groves, Carol Hansen, and Kimm Kruse sing Favorite Things.

A thrilling football victory, crowning a beautiful queen, a vibrant band, and a fantastic fireworks display made the 1973 Homecoming event Footsteps Worth Remembering. A Civil War cannon ' s boom echoed throughout Wayne Stadium introducing the game against the South Side Archers. The scoreless first half gave little hint of the excitement to come. After a fabu- lous halftime Wayne took control and swept the Archers off the field with a 27-0 General victory. Wayne ' s marching band, together with the majorettes and newly organized Gen- eralettes, provided special halftime en- tertainment. Highlighting halftime was the presentation of the court: sopho- mores Laura Alter and Vivian Zwick, juniors Ann Barnes and Kimm Kruse, and seniors La Von Boyd and Audie Winesburg. Queen Sue Busch tearfully accepted the crown from Shari Dahm, 1972 Homecoming Queen, immediately afterwards the stadium darkened and a spectacular fireworks display impressed the many spectators. Iron Horse played for the Y-Teens- sponsored dance which topped off and made Homecoming 1973 something worth remembering.

A sense of creativity and in- dividualism was displayed through popu- lar music and clothing preferences. Whether they wanted to boogie or just sit down and listen to music was their own prerogative. Clothing varied in ev- ery aspect, especially shoes and socks, depending upon personal likes and dis- likes. Overalls and recycled jeans were frequently worn as school clothes. Leisure activities included such items (Left) Early in October over ttiirty drama stu- dents attended ttie Canadian Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Ontario. as neighborhood football games, watching movies, or even cruising around town. Weekend excursions to out-of-town places provided somewhere to go when there was nothing else to do. Lots of Wayne students were employed so they could have extra money to spend. Bicycling and horseback riding along with motorcycling were popular forms of trans- portation because of their economical value to students; however, as fall set in, most students reverted willingly to warmer automobiles.

Our program has progressed to the point where Wayne can hold its head up in toot- ball as well as in other athletics. Senior Drake Durnell captained the squad and led, along with fellow senior Petie Knox, the Big Blue scoring thrust. His outstanding two-TD performance against Elmhurst led Wayne to its second city series victory, the first-ever coming with a 27-0 Homecoming rout over the luckless South Side Archers. Junior Jon Wolfe opened that Home- coming scoring binge by returning an in- tercepted Archer pass all the way for Wavne ' s first tally. Tuentv-nne big ones followed that third-quarter effort and sent South home with their arrows dragging. The fastest human in Fort Wayne, Knox left the Heritage Patriots in his dust as he led the Gens to an opener win. Defensively, seniors Bob Scott and Mike Hill and juniors Marvin May and Paul Minniefield anchored the line while sen- iors Bob Schwarz and Dick Kryder, along with junior Gilbert Shaw, were outstand- ing linebackers. Wolfe was a consistent threat at the safety spot. Scott and junior Keith Hill received honorable mention in the All-State selec- tions. Five Gens-Durnell, Scott, Knox, May, and Minniefield-made the All-South Division team in the Fort Wayne Summit Athletic Conference.

Coach Everett Havens stated, The late start and lack of experience hurt our team this year. The squad was exceed- ingly small, consisting of only ten play- ers, with five being seniors, all of whom played on last year ' s team. Reserve players did not participate in any regular season matches, but it was felt by Coach Havens that in practicing with the varsity the reserves gained ex- perience needed to produce a successful tennis team for next year.

The harriers started preparing for the regular season in late summer, when prac- ices were held in mid August at 6 o ' clock in the morning. Running approximately 10 miles a day, the team members were in excellent condition by the first regular season meet. Although there was no number one man for Wayne this year, the most consis- tent runner was captain and three year let- erman Ron Fisher.

Feminine spikers display ability, initiative Placing second in sectional competi- tion, the Girls ' Volleyball Team superbly exemplified Wayne ' s female athletic pro- gram. Conquering Bluffton in two quick matches, the spikers established them- selves as strong contenders for the sec- tional title. In a tough second battle, the Generals overcame the Heritage Patriots. The final game against Luers determined the sectional champs. Defeating the op- ponents in the first game but dropping the next two, the Wayne servers were forced to be content with taking the runner up position. Only four team members graduated, meaning eleven experienced spikers will be returning. The setters worked as a team and displayed excellent ability and potential. For their outstanding performance, DebbieDick, Becky Durtschi, Debbie Fox, Sherry Lahrman, Shiela Murphy, Jan Os- borne, Marcia Sipe, and Kay Sorg lettered in volleyball. The Wayne Award for vol- leyball was presented to senior Kay Sorg at the Spring Potluck for her outstanding contributions to the sport. The Spikers, coached by Mrs. Nancy Repp, achieved a tremendous 14-4 record during regular play. Only Snider, Leo, and Luers ' powerhouses overpowered the Wayne setters in one or more games.

All foreign language classes are now completely individualized. Frenchclasses placed more importance upon oral practice rather than written ex- pression. Countless pictures were used to stimulate conversation. At mid-semester, a strain was put on the Latin department as Mrs. Nancy Mack took maternity leave. Mr. James McFadden took her class. Students worked at their own pace, thus creating an individualized study situation. The Catapult occupied much class time. A trip to Mexico during spring vaca- tion for some students of Spanish created experience learning as well as a nice va- cation. Spanish students enjoyed a meal at the Don Pedro Spanish restaurant. To spur learning interest, students played Scrabble in Spanish, and cultural slides helped students to grasp a Spanish out- look on life. German classes spent much time stud- ying slides from Herr Shearer ' s trip to Deutschland. Students took more time to reverie into German family life. Learning the polka and singing German songs along with Herr Shearer ' s guitar accompaniment harvested much student interest.

The Department also gained approval for a new course in Ethnic Studies, which is actually a study of the contributions which have been made to our nation by various minority groups. Sophomores were allowed to sign up for U.S. History in the coming year ac- cording to their particular interests. The students had the option of signing up for Theme ' A ' which is to be largely struc- tured by the teacher in a manner similar to the traditional programs which have been offered in the past. Theme ' B ' will allow the students to become involved in the planning themselves. Two students enrolled in a special government program for next year.

Competition, trips aid businessmen ' s on-the-job training Touring Woodfield, the world ' s largest shopping mall, in Schaumburg, Illinois fascinated DE future businessmen. Acom- plete tour through a totally computerized merchandise control system highlighted the Distributive Education trip. DE students competed in district and state level contests in such areas as job interviews, ad layout, radio commercial writing, business math, and spelling. The experience helped students acquire poise and self-confidence before an audience. The choice of a practice set or an of- fice style manual during the last nine weeks of school stimulated more initia- tive from second year typing students. Individualization altered the regular rec- ord keeping program which required week- ly reports from business students. More individualized units of instruc- tion for the business office in areas of communication and office machines and better on-the-job training schedules were only a few of the many advances in COB coursework.

Wait Until Dork opens year of mature-audience drama Opening the Theater Arts Department ' s year, Wait Until Dark, a Fred Knott play written for both television and Broadway, appeared in Wayne ' s auditorium. The plot centered upon Susy Hendrix (Sherri John- son), a young married blind woman caught up in the evils of two ex-cons (Chuck Smith and Mark Mathias) and the villain- ous mastermind Roat (Mike Johnson), who are after a doll filled with heroin. Susy ' s husband has unwittingly brought the doll home, supposedly for a friend who is now no longer living. Suspense carries through the perform- ance like fire on a fuse as the three men plot to kill Susy in order to get the her- oin. However, Susy stalls the trio until after dark when she can have the advan- tage of their need for light. The climax of the drama occurs when Roat discovers that Susy has neglected to eliminate the refrigerator light. Susy manages to stab Roat in self-de- fense, using a knife she has hidden in the washing machine. In a last gasping effort Roat tries to retaliate, failing just before the police arrive. Throughout the story, Gloria (Kathy Rogers), a young neighbor girl helps Susy to foil the ex-cons ' pernicious plot, even though Gloria was rude to Susy on sev- eral occasions. Presented in late November, Wait Until Dark was a mature-content play which re- quired much time and effort to prepare.

Starring in Wayne ' s first attempt at producing theater in the round, Don DelPriore played the part of Phil Ben- son, a born loser. Important in the drama but rarelyseen on the life-sized monopoly board stage was Tim Smith, who was the game master, narrating the play from be- ginning to end. Other performers included Lisa Baker, Sharon Cox, Sue Garriott, Ter- resa Hoffman, Sherri Johnson, Chuck Smith, Steve Taylor and Ben Whitsel. The small production was followed by a round of song and music performed by selected members of the cast. The selec- tions included By My Side, On the River, and Croquet. The last two were written, played and sung by Chuck Smith. The finale for the evening of fun was a special presentation of James Thurber ' s The Last Flower. Tim Smith and Sherri Johnson narrated the story as slide pic- tures were projected on a large screen di- rectly behind the stage. It was two months of fun for the cast and an evening of en- tertainment for the audience. Jobs, school events occupy busy Generals occupied their winter spare time in multitudes of ways ranging from chilling snowball fights to part-time lobs. To obtain money via a paycheck, students began |ob hunting and found as many dif- ferent types of lobs as there were indi- vidual talents. Self-employment appealed to some in- dependent types. With his musical tal- ents, Bob Scott discovered that participa- tion in the group ' Rock Hill ' was gratify- ing experience. Others earned money as baby sitters or paper carriers, or by as- suming other responsibilities usually not considered ' jobs. ' Training for future occupations result- ed as students chose part-time lobs simi- lar to their intended fields of endeavor. A few secured full-time jobs during the summer and after high school as a result of their part-time experience. Much of the so-called student apathy resulted not from disinterest in school functions, but from full work schedules. Those who could manipulate their sched- ules or were not employed usually attend- ed school events. Athletes found no time for |obs, training hours each day in order to perfect their abilities, only to compete an hour or less a few times a week. Cheerleaders and twirlers, often re- ceiving little recognition, practiced loy- ally in an effort to achieve more school spirit. They competed with jobs, movies, and parties to increase spectator attend- ance at sports events. However, only a few loyal fans faithfully attended games to support Wayne ' s hard-working athletes.

Contributing to the social and academic betterment of the school and society, each person ' s qualities applied to special situations. The auxiliary gym became a dance hall as Fregerspa enthusiasts whirled the tra- ditional polka. Prospective Fred Astaires tackled co-ordination problems, experi- menting with foreign dances. The music department displayed Gen- erals ' vocal and instrumental music a- chievements at the winter concert. The auditorium rafters echoed the glorious melodies of Christmas Carols as the Girls ' , Varsity, and Concert Choirs vo- calized the traditional tunes. The Concert Band and Orchestra evoked Christmas cheer as they performed seasonal songs. Consisting of two violins, a viola, and a cello, the Evansville String Quartet, composed of four members of the Evans- ville University Music Department staff. awed music lovers with their mini con- cert m Wayne ' s band room. Following their performance, the quartet rehearsed the Brandenburg Concerto with Wayne ' s orchestra, advising special techniques. Daring Generals, tempted by a zipping white cloud commonly referred to as a ping pong ball, entered the Key Club ping pong tournament. Requiring quick reflexes and speedy scientific scheming, approx- imatelyfifty skillful students and a dozen or so talented faculty members partici- pated in the annual event. With his nim- ble maneuvers, Ron Fisher ferociously attacked the ball, conquering his oppon- ents to seize the student champion title. For the second consecutive year, Mr. Low- ell Shearer grabbed the faculty title with his lightning speed and pinpoint accur- acy. In the battle of the champions, Mr. Shearer became the overall winner, with- standing the constant pressure placed on him by the student champ.

A drastic transformation occurred when the seri- ous and sovereign characteristics stu- dents associate with teachers became the comical and flamboyant traits related to the Wayne Faculty Team which trounced the Jumping Jocks. The student council decorating con- test promoted Christmas spirit. Students ' creativity emerged as a little imagination livened drab white walls in homerooms. The realization that their high school days were numbered occurred as seniors were measured for caps and gowns. The beginning of graduation was marked for the first true Generals. Black History Week, February 11-15, featured entertainment by pianist Bob Taylor and an aspiring black vocalist, as well as black art exhibits in the Com- mons, slides of original black art works, and a fashion show.

Sb- atsHy Wrestling Sectional title shared; Hill trio best matmen The three Hills comprised the main backbone for the General grapplers in the 145, 185, and heavyweight divisions. Brothers Keith and Mike, along with HW Roy, defeated numerous foes from area schools and led Wayne to a share with Snider in the sectional title. Because of his outstanding ability, Roy, the only member of Coach James Manak ' s ' Maulers ' to advance to the state meet after Mike Hill was eliminated by a much questioned decision loss to event- ual state champ Rob Goshert, was defeat- ed in the state semifinals. The wrestlers usually began each meet with a victory by Fred Adams, a junior who wrestled on the varsity squad for two years, and who seemingly possesses the potential to advance undefeated for next year ' s wrestling season. At the time of selecting the most val- uable senior grappler, big Roy undoubted- ly overshadowed other talented senior varsity members Mike Hill, John Law- rence, Willie Weeks, Crag Hatcher, Phil Couloff, Bill Craft, and Dave Shultz.

Steve Longstreet, Bob Smith, Tom Hall, and Royce Mason were star competitors for the Generals ' underclass wrestling group. Ron Rutledge, a quick 178-pound sophomore contender, is expected to be an excellent prospect to replace graduate Mike Hill on the varsity squad. Ron was picked to substitute for Mike during the time the latter was sidelined with a minor injury. According to head wrestling coach Jim Manak, who will become Snider ' s Dean of Boys in September of 1974, Wayne ' s re- serve record of 7-5-1 can be attributed to a building year. Most of the reserve wrestlers were first-year men who will serve Wayne well with a year of experi- ence behind them. 58-Resefve Wreslling Reserve grapplers build promising squad Reserve Wrestling— 59 Varsity sports plus tally despite problems; Sanders establishes one-game score mark Despite the adversities placed on the cage crew, they still managed to come up with a winning season. The team lacked in height, and, consequently, most of the time was pitted against taller rivals. Possibly the toughest game lost during the campaign was to North Side. That game saw many records smashed as the teams battled through five overtimes, or almost a game and a half. Sadly, the out- come saw North eke out a 101-99 victory on a last second desperation shot by Jim Lindsey. The very next game saw Wayne ' s hard luck hardwood men lose another thriller to archrival Elmhurst 63-65 m double overtime. Coming back strongly, the varsity men edged out Kokomo Haworth then proceed- ed to charge past Tipton. The balance of the season consisted of close-score bat- tles, of which two were narrow wins, the other two being hard-fought losses. Senior standout Kerry Sanders paced the General scoring attack most of the year. Undoubtedly, the high point of Ker- ry ' s fine career came when he set a new Wayne single-game scoring record of 34 points, using only 17 field goal attempts and 7 free throws in the process. In con- necting on A field goals and 6 free tos- ses, Kerry drilled a sizzling 82% from the field and 85% at the charity mark to out- do Tim Smiley ' s 1972 season high. Other outstanding cagers were seniors Paul Sieber, Scooter Rouse, Jeff White, and Drake Durnell. Coming on strong at the end of the season, juniors Mark Huff- man, Eric Schneider, and Jon Wolfe joined the tourney squad of ten Gens. Coach Will Doehrman ' s patient work with the roundballers brought home a re- spectable 10-8 regular season record. In tournament play, a 1-2 record, losing in the Holiday Tourney finals to eventual State champ Northrop 42-55 and in sec- tionals to City powerhouse Concordia 65- 70 is certainly nothing to be ashamed of. Interestingly enough, two of the sea- son ' s highlights came as a result of los- ses. Wayne ' s scoreboard used the third digit for the first time as the Gens lost to Anderson ' s powe rful Indians, then ranked 1st in the state. At tourney time, crosstown rival Northrop paired up with Wayne to become the first and last teams in the IHSAA tournament, Wayne earning the dubious distinction of being the first squad eliminated in action at the Allen County Memorial Coliseum, and Northrop going on to take the State Hoosier Hys- teria Crown.

B ' Human Development, Industrial Arts set sights on home design, cost, value The serenity of class suddenly trans- formed into clamorous jabbering of, tiny people as the Human Development class launched three nursery school sessions to observe the behavior of 3- to 5-year- old children. Photographers, florists, bak- ers, and merchants also became part of the future homemakers ' course as guest lecturers on wedding preparations. Visiting Mini Mansions Manor, the Housing class toured mobile homes, eval- uating construction and design. They com- pared mobile home living to prefabricated homes for cost and features. Guests gorged on luscious cuisine pre- pared by prospective gourmets at back-to school night, October 1. Parents observed the Home Ec chefs as they concocted the savory menu. Shop classes obtained a duplicator for use with wood lathes, thus enabling stu- dent builders to reproduce objects. The shop also acquired a micrometer, an ex- tremely precise instrument for measuring shaft diameters. Six first-year high school drafting stu- dents — James Greene, Mike Kierzkowski, Brent Koos, Charles Landrum, Rich Sha- nayda, and Mike Zent — clinched the Tri- State College drafting contest. Interested studentsfrom northeast Indiana andsouth- east Michigan competed at solving an un- familiar drafting problem. Advanced woods students tackled lam- inating processes.

Teams of eleven members rap- idly move a small hard ball by means of curved sticks, attempting to place the ball into their opponent ' s netted goal. The girls ' advanced gym class ven- tured into the world of golf. Anticipating lifetime activities, the would-be WPGA winners turned to golf as a stimulant for all ages. Hacking, slicing, swinging, and divot digging, they swarmed the golf links for some much-needed practice. The advanced class infiltrated Smit- ty ' s Lanes to develop their bowling co- ordination. Storming the alleys with fin- esse and gutter balls, they dazzled on- lookers with their meticulous, if inaccur- ate, backup balls. Alternating with individual and life- time sports, body building demanded both strength and endurance. Isometrics, vig- orous running, and weight lifting devel- oped stout athletes with firm muscle tone.

Spanish students en- joyed a unique program including slides of the universe narrated in the Spanish tongue. An ecology presentation pertain- ing to the cleaning of the universal envi- ronment captured the interest of students anticipating the future welfare of space. Explaining the chemical composition of planetary objects was the purpose of the Chemistry program. Physics classes concentrated on char- acteristics of light. Using those lights available in the auditorium, students observed the refraction of light rays. Ex- amining concave and convex mirrors, ap- prentice physicists discovered their re- flective properties. Experimentation played a vital role in biology classes. Mr. Carl Mosser ' s clas- ses tackled labs exploring plan ' t ' S and animals. Curiously examining specimens ' contents and mysterious purposes, stu- dents grasped beneficial knowledge of their surroundings. Human physiology, the study of the processes of the human body, dominated Mr. Lee DeTurk ' s biology classes. Working in labs concerned with the circulatory and digestive systems, novice scientists obtained valuable in- formation about their physical properties. The acquisition of a salt water aquar- ium fascinated many biology students. Containing curious creatures including hermit crabs, star fish, horseshoe crabs, and sea cucumbers, the aquarium achieved unrivalled accomplishments m maintain- ing marine magnetism. 74-Laboraiory Sciences (Far left) As an ecology project for biology, students improve the General premises while having fun at the same time.

Al- though several experimental FWCS pro- grams are under evaluation to prepare for text adoptions next year, only one new course was offered: Basic Mathematics, which emphasized individualized study. Students concentrated efforts in those areas where they were weak in skills and understanding The employment of a part- time teacher lightened the load for math teachers and reduced the number of stu- dents per class. Hired for that purpose, Mrs. Eliason taught two fundamental al- gebra classes and one algebra class. Mrs. Eliason is Wayne ' s first female math in- structor.

In late March the Fort Wayne lU-PU Jazz Band performed a wide variety of music for those Generals who were inter- ested in arts musical, especially jazz. Songs like McArthur Park were well- received by the enthusiastic audience. To liven up an otherwise ordinary af- ternoon, four Generals participated in the annual Bressler ' s banana split eating con- test at Southtown Mall. Though they did lose to Harding, the foursome ate theu share of ice cream and received their share of stomach aches. With a beautiful spring day, plenty of food, and a general feeling of freedom, the senior class gathered together for their last informal event, a picnic. Held on the practice football field, numerous contests, including wheelbarrow races, pie eating contests, and potato sack races highlighted the successful event. So very often, students get rather up tight with school pressures so prevalent towards the end of school. Foster Park along with Sweeney and even Waynedale Parks provided places for complete relax- ation away from confusion where students could get their minds unboggled from all the strain. Freedom, lietaxation-79 Funny Girl most extensive drama endeavor in Wayne ' s short history The Purdue-Indiana Theater and the Civic Theater claimed the school was foolish to try a production traditionally not attempted by high schools because of its complications. However, for three nights in May, Wayne High School ' s drama and music departments combined to put on the Broadway spectacular Funny Girl. Mr. McVey directed the cast of approx- imately 55 members while Mr. Nicholas handled all vocal music, from major cast members to the backup music of the cho- rus girls. Mr. Marr and students from the instrumental music department made up the pit orchestra and provided the har- mony for the singing cast. A PIT Theater choreographer planned the dance numbers and routines. All in all, over 90 people, including cast, crew and orchestra, busied them- selves for two months to prepare and prac- tice the production. After-school prac- tices often lasted until 10:30 in the eve- ning, school nights providing no barriers. The choreographer worked especially hard on the rat-a-tat-tat number. Sadie ' s party and the Henry Street dance number also used large numbers of actors. Over $2,000 in expenses covered props and costumes alone. The myriad costumes ranged from tuxedos, wedding gowns, and dresses to army uniforms, complete with helmets and homemade rifles. Props in- cluded a real street lamp, an exploding eagle, and a detailed setting in a private dining room for two in a ritzy restaurant. Wayne ' s short three-year history has never, until this time, sparkled with a bigger or more ambitious production than Funny Girl. But all of the hard work and expense were rewarded when all three performances received standing ovations at curtain call time.

Funny Girl— 87 As the pumpkin in Cinderella became a magical golden carriage, so the Com- mons blossomed into an elegant ballroom. Be, the Prom theme, captured the free spirit of sentimental Generals and guests. With greens, blues, violets, and yel- lows, the informal garden scene in the Commons conveyed a nature-like atmos- phere. Decorative accents featured a lily pond; a lighted, multi-colored water foun- tain; a walk-through trellis; and a wish- ing well. Blue, green and violet ceiling lights created an effectively romantic moonlight mood. Creative decorating transformed the cafeteria into an elegant dining room. Margarine tubs became beautiful chimney lamps arranged on tables to furnish the subtle effect of candle light. Prom entertainment featured ' Fantasy ' performing mainly pop music.

Away from traditional grad- uation ceremonies typically held at the Allen County Memorial Coliseum, 287 seniors, led by juniors J. P. Specht and Eric Schneider, proudly marched onto the moonlit football field beneath decorated goal posts to receive their diplomas. A follow-up tradition from a year ago, a portion of the class treasury pur- chased 150 long stemmed red roses for the female graduates to carry. An avid audience of approximately 2,000 more than last year filled the sta- dium ' s home side to capacity, and a sizeable crowd piled into the ' away ' side. Valedictorian Kathy Cordon and Salutatorian Diann Crowl provided the invoca- tion and closing prayer, respectively. Three honor graduates — Carol Pearson,, Paul Sieber, and Debbie Lebamoff — presented their interpretations of the past , present and future years in the form of a three-part address. Senior class presi- , dent Fred Stoops gave an enjoyable retrospect of the past three years with the Gettysburg Address as a style guideline. As the initial finished product of Wayne High School, the class of ' 74 is dis- tinguished as the first class to complete the entire three years at Wayne. Band director David Marr and the remainder of the Concert Band provided ad- equate processional and recessional music for the ceremony. During the pro- ceedings, the Concert Choir performed two prayer arrangements. (Left) Senior class president-elect Eric Schneider and student council president-elect J. P.

Linksmen grab Summit City crown Despitethe misfortune of the golf team as they finished the season with three consecutive losses, they still came out with a fantastic record. The linksmen brought home the Summit Athletic Confer- ence championship .with an 8-1 confer- ence record. They finished the regular season with a remarkable 17 wins and 5 losses. Outstanding junior Eric Schneider, a- long with top senior golfer Phil Taylor, led the Generals ' scoring throughout the season. Eric and Phil maintained striking averages of 38.7 and 39.5 respectively, each man vying for the number one spot. Having such a successful team pro- duced many highlights through the dura- tion of the sport. The linksmen snatched fourth place in the LaPorte Invitational, a tournament which fielded 37 teams. The (Left) Coach John Churchward hits some shag balls off the practice range prior to teeing off with the team. General golf team turned the dream of the SAC title into a reality as they defeated North Side High School by a 20-stroke margin, 147-167. The determination of the Gens was exhibited as four men com- pleted the nine holes in under 40 strokes, a feat rarely accomplished in high school link competition. The sectional meet, played at Brook- wood, Wayne ' s home course, spelled mis- fortune for the Generals when all they could secure was a tenth place in a field of 18 teams. Some consolation came to two General golfers, Eric Schneider and Phil Taylor, both of whom earned a berth on the All- SAC Conference golf team. Other varsity men, coached by John Churchward, were Don DelPriore, Tom Ormsby, and Mark Hoffman. (Top) Coach John Churchward shows the pro- per way to hit a pitch shot while senior Phil Taylor observes admiringly. Colf-87 Gens capture Reed tapped For the second consecutive year, coach Lee DeTurk ' s General batmen cap- tured the sectional crown. In their first ri- valry, the Gens shut out Norwell by a 5-0 score. The tall of Harding was next in line as the batmen hit them hard with a 7-1 victory. Wayne then clinched the title at Bellmont in a hard-fought battle against Adams Central, 9-5. In regional first- round action, the Generals lost a close battle to Richmond, 2-3. Sophomore third baseman Greg Pike proved to be the leading batter as he swung his way to a .301 batting average. Heading afine pitching staff, senior Steve Reed sparkled as a real standout by com- piling a 5-3 record. Sieve ' s ' smoking ' fastball dazzled pro and college scouts from ail over who came to verify his tal- ents. With possible annual earnings of 4100,000, Steve was selected as the num- ber one draft choice of the Cincinnati 88-Baseball sec tional title; by Cincinnati Reds baseball team. This summer, Steve travels to Montana for his training. Coach DeTurk ' s diamond crew defeat- ed three opponents before discovering the great pitching potential of senior Kerry Sanders. Kerry demonstrated his ability as one of the top relief pitchers during the regular season by holding Harding to only one hit in semi-final sectional act- ion. Greg Pike and Steve Reed merited po- sitions on the SAC All-conference base- ball team, Greg for his proficiency at third base, as well as his hitting power, and Steve for his superior pitching. Men holding the big bats for the Gen- erals throughout the season were Greg Pike, Kevin Gemmill, Tim Thomas, Bob Schwarz, and Phil Gouloff, who opened the sectional game against Harding with a home run. In the field, Drake Durnell at first and Bob Schwarz at catcher were standouts.

Starting the season with an indoor meet, the thiniies walked away with first place in two of four events in the Bronco Relays held in West Lafayette, Indiana. WillieKnox broke John Mitchell ' s old record of 6.25 seconds in the sixty- yard dash with a 6.2, while Bob Scott fired a 12-pound shot a whopping 55 ' 7 . That was )ust the beginning as the Gens continued their triumphant efforts in their first triangular meet upending Bel Imont and Dwenger by over 50 points. The City track meet finals, held at Zollner Stadium, came next m line. Al- though the Big Blue didn ' t perform as well as was hoped, two outstanding athletes from Wayne became City champs: Petie Knox in the 100-yard dash and Scooter Rouse in the high hurdles. It wasn ' t too much longer till Scooter demonstrated his talents once more as he set a new record in the high hurdles with a 14.4 at the Lime City Relays held in Huntington, Indiana. No one will forget the outstanding job Petie did as he ran a 10 flat in the 100-yard dash breaking a record that had stood since 1963. The combined efforts of these two and the rest of the Wayne track team brought home a fifth place out of fifteen entries in the Lime City Relays. 90-Tfack (Below) VARSITYTRACK: Row 7 — I ay Schmidt, )on Wolfe, Dave Schwehn, Victor Slayton, Scott McCiintock, Eugene King, Bob Wilson, Jim Pitzer; Row 3 — Mr. Detwiler, Mr. Sawyer, Merrill Morey, Roger Miller; Row 2 — Willie Brad Fredrickson, Bob Scott, Watt-L Williams, Knox, Ron Fisher, Wilfred Rouse, Lee Morton, Ken Cammack, Ed Harris, Mr. Mosser, Mr. Rowe (Left) Coach J im Manak closely observes sen- (Above) Giving his best effort, senior Eugene lor Bob Scott put the shot in warmup during a King attempts to better his own mark at the home track meet.

At season ' s end, Wayne took third m Sectionals. Then the roof caved in as state champ Petie Knox was sidelined un- der doctor ' s orders and was unable to run in regional competition. With Petie out of the 100- and 220-yard dashes, Wayne ' s hopes for a regional win and a second consecutive State Championship were dashed. The remaining members of the re- gionais team managed a fine second place finish, and, considering the fact that the Gens wound up with 5th in State coming from only three entries, the thinliclads had a great 13-3 season. Members of the reserves had their ups and downs and their struggles. Brian Hayes and Tom Rice both stood out on the team as they became double winners in the meet against Bishop Luers. According to head coach Nelson Detwiler, no regu- lar schedule of reserve meets was run. As a result, no score block could be giv- en for the building reserves.

This daring doubles duo ter- rified timid tennis opponents with their skillful racketry and established a 7-2 Wayne-best record. Coached by Mrs. Nancy Repp, the team of 13 racketeers practiced daily after school until 4:30. Beginning in April, they drilled, perfecting their serves, vol- leys and endurance. Defeating Luers, Northrop, and Harding powerhouses sum- marizes the victories of an otherwise disappointing 3-7 team season record. Senior Sherry Lahrman received the Wayne Award in tennis for her dedication and contributions to the sport. Girls who earned letters were Cheryl Bellis, Cindy Bland, and Kay Sorg. Among the multitudes of school events at the end of the year, the Spring Potluck congregated all types of sports enthusi- asts. Sponsored by the Athletic Depart- ment May 29, it featured the presentation of athletic awards. The most valuable player from each sport received a Wayne Award presented by his respective coach. Jay Schmidt in cross country, Vic Heniser for tennis, Drake Durnell in football, and Kay Sorg in volleyball accepted awards as fall sports winners, the potluck dinner for which took place November 20. Winter sports had their potluck March 19. The athletes receiving awards for their season were Kerry Sanders in bas- ketball, Roy Hill for wrestling, and Audie Winesburg in gymnastics. Steve Reed in baseball, Phil Taylor for golf, Wilfred (Scooter) Rouse in track, and Sherri Lahrman in tennis were acknow- ledged as award winners for spring. For the first time. Gold Foil Awards, developed by the FWCS to honor senior athletes, were distributed. The award in- cluded the senior ' s name, sports, and special recognition received. The presentation of the Blanket Award to Drake Durnell highlighted the athletic year. To be eligible for the fourth Wayne Blanket, Drake fulfilled these require- ments: active in three sports at least two years and considered outstanding in two by his coaches, maintain a high scholas- tic average, have a good personality, and be accepted by the athletic committee.

Ten four-member teams competed through the 24-week sea- son. The league champion team consisted of Bob Fanger, Ken Filloff, Eric Lehman, and Dave Crawley. Steve and Juanita Clouse bowled the high single games of the season with 223 and 226 respectively. Senior Sherry Lahr- man paced the girls with a 134 season average, while Mike Robinson topped the boys with a respectable 157 average. The high team game of 704 was rolled by the Steve Clouse, Juanita Clouse, Terry Dai- ley, Jeff McCulloch quartet. High team series honors went to the same group at a sizzling 1895.

The co-ed club demonstrated imaginative routines on the mini-tramp, balance beam, long horse, even bars, tramp, mats, and side horse. Because gymnastics is appearing as a part of the form of other sports (front flip in the long jump, the ' Fosberry flop ' in the high jump, etc.), the sport is en- joying a new high of interested partici- pants, Wayne being no exception. The ' 74 club consisted of a record 16 members, including Swedish exchange student Jo- han Petrini. Several of the female mem- bers also participated in Varsity gym- nastics competition. Coached by Mrs. Nancy Repp and Mr. Tom Beerman, the group also performed a PTA exhibition at the year ' s end. The PE show also included handball.

Class officers Fred Stoops (President), John Moreno (Vice president), and Teresa Hoffman (Secretary-treasurer) provided effective leadership in organizing the various senior activities. Mr. Church- ward, Mr. Madden, and Mr. Manak were the guiding force in the many projects sponsored by the upperclassmen. November 2, 1973, was Senior Night for the Generals.

Love-struck Generals, as well as those not pricked by Cupid ' s arrows, found companionship at the senior- sponsored Valentine ' s Day Dance fol- lowing the Concordia-Wayne basketball game on February 9th. Rock Hill, fea- turing Wayne ' s illustrious shot putter, Bob Scott, performed for the listenini; and dancing pleasure of those present. Many seniors enjoyed a year-end pic- nic on the cool grass surrounding Wayne with a lunch prepared by the cafeteria cooks. During fifth and sixth periods, May 23, upperclassmen shared in such events as a pie eating contest and fris- bee football. Even the weather co-operat- ed as the seniors gathered together for perhaps the last time. In the Media Center on May 5, the PTA sponsored a senior-parent reception, as a time for seniors and parents to be- come better acquainted.

The problem was illustrated by the cancellation of the Senior Banquet scheduled for Lester ' s Party Room. Fewer than 100 seniors showed any interest. School spirit seemed to be an antique word, quickly becoming extinct. The rea- son may be attributed to more outside act- ivities which are available to students today. Because of communication and the mass media, students have broadened their interests to happenings in the city and state rather than )ust the school.

Brown (Secretary-treasurer). With their inventiveness, they created original prom concepts including a punch fountain, can- dlelight serving in the cafeteria, and a theme of Be. . . The highlight of the prom was the coronation ceremony. Only two juniors — Ann Boyle and Carol Han- sen — were selected for the Court. The class sponsors — Mrs. Bunnell, Mr. Fox, Mrs. Griggs, Mrs. Lipp, Mr. Master- son, Mr. Merkler, Mr. Nicholas, and Mr. Weick — guided the class officers, super- vised the preparation of the Prom, and functioned as chaperons. Never hesitant to lend a hand, their co-operation was greatly appreciated. Juniors ' ingenuity also contrived Lick ' em Day during the eventful wrestling and basketball sectional week. Generals greedily devoured innumerable amounts of suckers (6,000 during the first hour of the day!), increasing the junior treasury and inducing an epidemic of tummy aches. Based on the assumption that everyone has plenty of garbage, the class also sold trash bags. This handy little ecological project collected a grand total of $255 for the junior bank account.

Sophomores— 145 Sophs open to ' high school days ' Since most oi the sophomores attend- ed the Wayne-Miami complex since eighth grade, they had little difficulty adjusting to the high school environment. The vet- eran status eliminated the usual hopeless sophomoric wanderings in the corridors and accelerated a sense of belonging. Thecommons became the scene for the SadieHawkins Dance, the first class pro- ject. Featuring live music by 5;g , the March 15th event provided dancing and game booths for the Gens ' entertainment. Attempts to increase the class treas- ury, which will pay for next year ' s prom, took the forms of rinsing accumulated filth from Generals ' vehicles at the Rog- ers ' Market car wash and of skating off accumulated energy at the Roller Dome South. Both events were good opportuni- ties to share the company of friends. Sophswillingly adopted the after-game tradition of fellowship at McDonald ' s, even when it meant stretching sandwiches or french fries or even ice cubes over a long period of time just to be able to stay and converse with friends. Thus, a new ritual began. (Right) Following the Sadie Hawkins Day dance sponsored by the sophomores, class of- ficers Chris Keck, Jerry Be- craft, and Pat Stoner total up their profit.

Mr. Michael McVey captured students ' respect by choosing more advanced and difficult adult plays requiring dedicated actors and crew. He broke away from the adolescent character- istics typical of so many high school performances. Mr. Carl Nicholas placed more em- phasis on sight-reading and singing true tempered, tuned or equally varied pitch, instead of ad|usted music. A traditional conductorless orchestra for a baroque piece, an elaborate, complex style of music, along with more contemporary music, expressed Mr. Robert Taylor ' s de- sire to stimulate orchestra style.

They were to continue until the crisis ended. Classroom thermo- stats remained at 70 degrees, and heat could be generated in the evenings and on weekends only when the outside temp- erature dipped below 40 degrees. Parking lot lights were turned off when they were not needed, and only lights used for se- curity purposes were left on. Tacos became a new delicacy for the cafeteria. They were a lot of work for the cooks, but because the new dish was so popular. It was served often. The Type A lunch in the a la carte line began March 1, 1974, with 40 to 80 students taking advantage of it each day. A student was required to choose bread, butter, meat, a vegetable, fruit, and milk from the provided a la carte foods to pay the regular lunch price of 40 cents.

A time it was, and what a time it was: a time of innocence, a time of confidence. But was it long ago? Seem- ingly not. We dream of yesterday — of all the important things that have hap- pened in our lives, how we have changed as a result of our environment and relationships with other people. Today we are challenged to venture out into the world not knowing what fortune or disappointments will strike us. Yesterday is today ' s memory, and tomorrow is today ' s dream. We may dream and fantasize of the things to come, but we know not our destiny. Metamorphically speaking, we will in- variably change, for the only thing re- maining constant is change itself. Photographs preserve only excerpts from the past, and memories soon fade away. But The Sentry staff hopes that special moments captured in this year- book will recreate memorable experi- ences for all who contributed a part of the year ' s total story. Reflecting over the past year, sev- eral people deserve a big thanks, not only from me but from the entire school. People such as the adviser Mr. Auten- rieth and five or six staff members de- serve unending credit for spending vast numbers of hours to provide an accur- ate review of the year. Though the book represents the his- tory of an entire year, in actuality, it • presents only a minute portion of the annual metamorphic cycle which pat- terns itself throughout the seasons. And so we must leave to begin an- other phase of our lives, an adventure filled journey, the challenging test against society.

C osmg-T8J In Retrospect: nostalgic grad evaluates initial challeng By Scott Hodson It doesn ' t seem like very long ago we were all wondering if that new farm school would be done in time for us to start in September. It wasn ' t, but school started anyway. There was NO organization. Both teachers and students got lost and clocks told every kind of time but the correct one. Elec- tricity went off in the middle of clas- ses leaving the school in total dark- ness. Workmen spilled paint on teach- ers in the middle of lectures and their noisy drills deafened students for hours on end. Crossing beneath the scaffolds in the unfinished Commons was a dan- gerous act, and so was walking the halls alone. Assignments were impos- sible because books hadn ' t arrived. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. And who could forget our fabulous football season and our brand new, grassless stadium? Sure we told every- one we had a perfect record; we just didn ' t tell them it was 0-8, not 8-0! Remember when everyone was rather skeptical about going to the first home basketball game because Jeanne Dixon predicted that a brand new midwestern high school whose name began with ' W would collapse during their first home game and kill everyone? How about the first game with our biggest rival, Elmhurst? In front of a standing- room-only crowd, we stomped them 57-51 in their own gym! Alas, no more farmer jokes! Lots of people said we lacked school spirit, but more spirit was poured into that one game than in our entire senior year. No remembrance of the first year would be complete without mentioning those danged Indians. What true General has not been trampled down at least once by a horde of hunger-crazed midgets during a stampede to the cafe- teria? To say the least, being shoved in with junior high kids was not a u- nanimous vote — at least not on our end of the building. Then came Wayne ' s second year of existence. That was the year we finally won not just one, but TWO football games. Things began shaping up that second year. We were expected to get to class on lime (teachers were getting wise to the traditional ' I got lost ' line). We had our books so we had no reason not to study. Rules, regulations, morn- ing announcements, department store bells that rang more or less on time (most of the time) and clocks that told the right lime (some of the time). . . All of these combined to turn Wayne into a real school. And finally, after just two short years, we won our first state championship in track. So now it ' s time to say good-bye to Wayne. It ' s been our best year yet. And as we leave, we realize that the class of 74 met the initial challenge of breaking in a new school and, like true Generals, leave the scene of the battle as true winners. 182 -Closing Closing-183 ? ie? ■ 9 JT ' , In your [ uiui i{ you mus( mrdsurr lime mlo sr(isi iis.
