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. Opening-5

Hobbies, leisure pastimes conquer monotonous duration of school life Though the drudgery of school con- tinually persisted, students and teach- ers alike found time for non-school activities and pastimes. 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.
