' 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.

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.
