Understanding and mu- f J tual respect proved the keys to eliminating prejudices and es- tablishing unity, not only between races, but also within administration, faculty, and student relationships. Hosting foreign teacher Mile. Francoise Reybet, and students Jan Ekman and Irene Rosen- mayr. Gens exchanged ideas, advancing international friendships. The homecoming dance revealed the dissolving of segregated black and white portions of the school, each finally merg- ing to form unified, full-blooded Gener- als. Significant maturity in relations ap- peared as the tradition of an exclusively black Afro-club dance died, afflicted with white attendance and a sincere black welcome. The Generalettes and band united their entertaining forces to promote spirit during football and basketball seasons. Encouraging female fitness girls con- tributed their energies to the athletic de- partment as basketball and track joined the roster of girls ' sports. With the sup- port of both sexes, the girls ' volleyball team proved their strength, securing sec- tional and regional titles. With pride most Gens stood and sang the school song and the national anthem, conveying changing attitudes within the school. The Generals composing the ' 74- ' 7.5 version of Wayne established a first, repeating honestly spirit tied with ira- ity. Wayne we hail thee ...

Expressing their individualism through hobbies, several theater-mmded students contributed their abilities to the Fine Arts Center, assisting with productions. With Wayne ' s club and area leagues avail- abla, bowling also attracted Gens. While sports attracted the most reco-;- nition. The Sentry. The Dispatch, drama productions, music presentations, and speech competition also required dedica- tion and hours of after-school work. Prompted by ' he high cost of food, hunting surged in popularity, while girls found sewing less expensive than buying ready-made clothes. Truckin ' on ten- speeds. Gens economized, saving money on gas while helping the ecology. Tobogganing at Pokagon, snowmobil- ing, sledding at Franke Park, and hockey appealed to adventurous Gens during the winter as a means of releasing school- repressed energies inexpensively.

' 1 tx flames spouting from the Land- ■I Jing ' s fire ravaged Rosemarie Ml Hotel and the old Bash Building drew over 75% of the area ' s fire fighters in the midst of battling ice and fire at the Third Presbyterian Church the same evening in early February, just days after the Patton Electric Company blaze. The Bash structure, the intended target, illuminated the Landing the next night. Destroying irreplaceable exhibits, fire converted the Franke Park Diehm Museum into a pile of ashes. Although occurring a few days after the Landing blazes, this fire appeared to be the work of a second arsonist, according to fire officials. Following the previous Van Orman Ho- tel demolition pattern, workmen blasted the Keenan Hotel, destroying another his- toric reminder. History buffs launched construction of the 4V2-acre Old Fort Wayne off Spy Run Avenue. Extending the opportunities of- fered by the Franke Park Children ' s Zoo, builders began readying the African ' Veldt. An experiment with junior-senior high school combinations, the Wayne-Miami complex attested to possible problems in- volved, and both Gens and Injuns anxious- ly observed the construction of Miami ' s new, separate junior high structure.

With perfect timing, the resurfacing crew excavated Dunkleburg Road in September, providing Generals a safe path by early winter. They remained in General country, widening Lower Huntington Road between Winchester Road and the Thruway. With roads renovated. Gens found the Coliseum easily attainable. Reversing an earlier decision, the management again offered rock concerts. PhilOlofson ' s Fort Wayne Hoosiers boosted Hoosier hysteria as the new International Basketball As- sociation team claimed the Memorial Col- iseum as their home court. Cable television offered a fresh type of entertainment to the three rivers city as Bowling Green University ' s education- al broadcasts reached Fort Wayne via Channel 39.

Inflation and recession crippled the economy while possible solutions for one provided ammunition for the other. Unem- ployment shot to 8 ' 2%. Americans suffered shortages of items ranging from sugar, gas, and meat to paper, pennies, and Ball canning jars. Desperate consumers resort- ed to dog food and horse meat for protein.

The question of when a fetus develops into human life evoked legal battles and investigations of practices eliminating prospective life. The Equal Rights Amendment required ratification by 4 additional states for a 3 4 majority to become law. Ensuring equal salaries for identical work and con- trolling sex discrimination, the ERA also indirectly sanctified possible drafting of women and bisexual restrooms. Individuals determined their own sets of principles concerning drugs, smoking, and drinking with less intervening pres- sure than former decades. Although they continued to tempt students, the habits received less publicity. Parents and children detected prob- lems in communicating, a product of the different experiences each generation en- countered. Empathizing to understand views, mutual tolerance, and listening proved lessons for avoiding hassles in parent-child relationships.

The massacre took place in the after- noon due to lighting difficulties at Heritage 1 Field.

The Bulldogs immediately attained a 7- point lead. Desirous of a success, the Gens totally dominated the third quarter as junior Ronnie Hamilton scored a touchdown from the 3-yard line. Sophomore Roosevelt Barnes later streaked 81 yards, scoring for the Generals, but New Haven recovered quickly and topped the Generals. Amid the mixed emotions, the marching band and the Generalettes made their opening performance with a half time consisting of catchy tunes from familiar commercials. The marching band, directed by Mr. David Marr and led by drum major Mike Worman began practice even before the school year began. The Gen- eralettes became an active part of the march- ing band as they participated in the pregame show in addition to contributing to half time entertainment. With the adoption of Wayne Brigade, the Student Council also spent many hours outside of school time caring for responsibilities as- sociated with Homecoming preparations. With the announcement of election results in May, 1974, Council officers J. P. Specht, President: Ann Boyle, Vice-president; LeAnn Thompson, Secretary; and Calvin King, Treasurer, began their vigorous one-year terms. Relinquishing much of their summer vaca- tion, the foursome devised the September 16 homeroom election rules, constructed the first Council budget, and elaborated the concept of a mini course program. As a result of home- room elections, 33 representatives and alter- nates took positions as members of the Student Council. Sophomore classofficer elections took place the fourth week of September, adding Jody Be- craft, President; Brad Springer, Vice-presi- dent; and Sue Patrick, Secretary-treasurer to the executive board of the Student Council. While sophomores competed for positions as class officers, students auditioned for ap- proximately 30 parts in Once Upon a Mattress. The musical comedy, based on a book by Jay Thompson, Marshal Barer, and Dean Fuller, was chosen as the first endeavor by the Per- forming Arts Department, Rehearsals began im- mediately in preparation for the November 15 and 16 performances. The swing choir presented two numbers, following a solo by junior Brian Marcus on t- ola, to provide the entertainment for a music patrons meeting on September 24. September-17 Routines reesfoblished; Generals ride ' again The homecoming committee worked to raise money for the preconceived half time fire- works presentation. Supervised by chairwoman Julie Briner, drenched Gens waded through two car washes and eagerly collected newspapers, raising nearly S300.

Using a 130- year-old spinning wheel, she pulled the fibers, twisted them and wound them onto the bobbin. As drums rolled, students gathered on Sep- tember 27 for a rousing pep session, the third in a series to boost the football team. Cap- tains of the team, Paul Minniefield and Jon Wolfe announced their plans to stomp South Side that evening. The Gens dropped their second contest of the young grid season to eventual South Divi- sion champs. South Side. The Archers control- led the entire game but led only 3-0 at the half. South ' s big quarter was the third as they tallied 14 points while the Generals ' only touchdown came from sophomore Roosevelt Barnes, followed by the extra point, once ;i- gain via Collins ' talented toe. Losses struck the General netmen ' s sea- son as only two returning players, senior J. P. Specht and junior Rick Schieferstein, contrib- uted their experience. Coach Everett Havens explained that tennis required familiarity of the game obtained only through practice. Judged for required maneuvers and special presentation, the marching Generals performed a show of Disney songs at the FWCS Marching Band Festival.

President Richard Bleeke gladly accepted the profit olitained during their month-long sale. The girl spikers launched practice two weeks before school as they were split into varsity and reserve teams. Coached by Mr. Tom Beerman and Miss Sue Jordan, the squads worked on Olympic style volleyball, making it a more thrilling and interesting sport to watch and play. Intramural Softball began as 48 girls divid- ed into four teams practicing Tuesdays after school in preparation for a tournament. The two-year undefeated reserve football team humbled to first-place city reserve grid champs Bishop Luers on September 30. General gridmen proved themselves super- ior on September 20 in the tie-breaker overtime against North Side as the Redskins mistakenly attempted to run a conversion. Sophomore Roosevelt Barnes scored two touchdowns in the first half while North tallied only one. The Performing Arts Department presented a half time show consisting of Walt Disney tunes followed by the introduction of parents of football players and cheerleaders as the Athletic Department honored them with Parent Night.

Paul Minniefield, Jim Pitzer, and Jon Wolfe led the gridmen through the Fall, with senior field goal kicker Brad Collins dominating the extra point contributions. Sophomore Al Gooden an- chored the left defensive end position, execut- ing key tackles throughout the season includ- ing the game-saving stop against North Side. Senior offensive guard Pat Byerly, sopho- more fullback Roosevelt Barnes, and senior defensive back Keith Hill represented Wayne in the All-City South Division Team. Senior Jon Wolfe, defensive back, received an honor- able mention on the team. During their short season, starting reserves Stan Sills, Tony Sorg. and Gary Collins dis- played promise in both offense and defense. Coach Brett Lucas cited Terry Fuqua. Clint Moore, and Mark HoUoway strong contenders. ■ ■i ■ ■1 FOOTBALL VARSITY  Pes, Yr.

Mrs. Barbara Thexton ' s first period art class grabbed top spot for the most beautifully decorated classroom, receiving hot chocolate and cinnamon toast for their efforts. Close liehind. Mr. Lowell Shearer and Mr. David Marr ' s first period classes accepted honorable mentions awarded by administrative staff mem- bers from Wayne and Miami. Second year typing classes constructed their own Christmas cards using stencils and ditto sheets. Wrestling meets against Blackford and Woodlan tal-lied two victories for General matmen. After their trip to the Manchester Invitational Tournament from which Keith Hill brought home the only trophy, the brawlers tied the New Haven Bulldogs with help from a 38-second pin by senior Keith Hill and ac- companying pins by senior Pete Currie and sophomore Mike Reed. Starting center. 6-foot 8-inch Steve Bates, disabled from playing for an estimated eight weeks due to torn ankle ligaments suffered dur- ing the third quarter of the SAC bout with South Side, watched the remainder of Wayne ' s first conference game, which was dominated by the host Generals. Mark Hoffman led the Gens with 13 points. Soon afterward, however, the team tasted defeat at the hands of the Snider Pan- thers in Snider ' s gym. The loss was mainly at- tributable to the repeated turnovers committed by Wayne roundballers.

The sophomore class collected money from Gens in memory of class member Pam An- derson. December seventh leukemia victim. Ken Cammack and Roosevelt Barnes com- bined for 31 points against Homestead, but their efforts failed to put the Gens in the lead as they dropped their third game of the season to the Spartans in the victors ' gym. The varsity record continued slipping as the Muncie Bear- cats dominated a home event. The girls ' basketball team lost their first game against New Haven despite Karen Mer- chant ' s tenacious efforts. Debbie Fox. Cindy B ' and. Debbie Dick, and Jenny Wolf completed the Gens ' starting roundball force. For the love of sports, the boys ' intramural sports council sponsored an open house recre- ation night which proved a great success. Near- ly 90 Generals gathered in the gym to enjoy the assortment of equipment available. Mr. David Marr. directing the Concert Band, opened the annual Winter Concert. The anti- phonal Choral Christmas Fanfare. written and directed by Mr. Carl Nicholas, followed the opening selection. The string ensemble and the massed choirs joined together for the fin- ale. Music entertainment continued as Arling- ton Park performed an assortment of songs to suit a variety of General tastes at the Christ- mas semi-formal dance. Based on an old fash- ioned Christmas atmosphere, the senior-spon- sored-project launched a new Wayne tradition. Miss Cheryl Krewson began her student teaching for Mr. William Madden in the month of December. Working with Gens for eight weeks, she then returned to Indiana University to finish her schooling.

Sports reflect personalities Sophomores AlGooden and Roosevelt Barnes scored 29 and 18 points respectively, but the Gens suffered their fourth straight defeat, this time to the Norwell Knights at the winners ' gym. Wayne snapped their losing streak in the opening round of the Northrop Holiday Tourna- ment by defeating the New Haven Bulldogs, only to come back and lose to the host Bruins in the championship contest. This marked the second year the Generals lost to the Bruins in the final game of the tourney. Sophomore for- ward Roosevelt Barnes led Wayne ' s scoring attack in both games. Paced by James Austion ' s 21 points, the sophomore basketball team crushed Elmhurst in their second game of the season, but they experienced defeat by the South Side Archers. Wayne committed 27 turnovers, compared to South ' s 17 mistakes. The cage crew upped their record to 3-1 with a victory over the Northrop Bruins with Melvin Bell and Gary Bush as high scorers. In a home event John Tourney scored 13 points, but the sophomores lost to the North Side Redskins. Sophomore Jon Sieber played an outstanding game, hitting sev- en of eight field goal attempts and tallying 21 points as the Gens topped the Snider Panthers in an overtime game. The Afro American Club displayed good hearted efforts as they sponsored a skating party for General pleasure along with the thoughtfulness of adopting a girl from Kenya, Africa named Khakasa Joseph through the Christian Children ' s Fund. They sent their adoptee S15 a month and corresponded with her through letters.

Startled by the unusual appearance of tiny cars on the ym floor, many Gens enjoyed the femote control demonstration race between miniature Mustangs, Ferraris, and Jaguars. The racers attempted 40 laps in 1,5 minutes at the half time while visiting North Side fans cheered for favorites as did the hosting Gen- erals. The 15-20-inch autos, navigated from control boxes about the size of a large tran- sistor radio, boasted craftsmanship of the drivers. 1974 Wayne graduate John Turner assisted in bringing the presentation from the Summit Area Remote Control Club.

The group work centered on allow- ing each student to express his own feelings along with the author ' s ideas, Mr. William Mad- den. English Department head, cited the fre- quent usage of poetry in contemporary music and the wide variety of subject matter as the probable causes for increased enrollment. The Poetry class permitted students to understand more about life and the society faced by Gen- erals each day. Extending a variety of services to classes, nine Generals comprising the audio-visual de- partment worked under the supervision of Mr. Robert Weick delivering equipment and serving as operators of the machinery. The 16mm and slide projectors, reel and cassette tape record- ers, headphones, microphones, and intricate video tape equipment took on animate proper- ties, displaying minds of their own. Offering services such as copying, printing, laminating, and dry mounting, these active Gens assisted the needs of others throughout the year while learning operating secrets of the machinery and skills of the trade.

Fifty-nine upperclassmen left Wayne to begin their careers and make a place for themselves in the fast-paced society, leaving only 244 classmates to finish the year. The loss of classmates strengthened the realiza- tion that only four months remained until com- mencement, the last assembly of the class of ' 7.5. The new week promised a change in class schedules, relaxation from the anxieties and chaos of exams, and a preview of the final semester of the year. Before leaving, January grads gathered to fill out brag sheets disclosing activities they participated in over their three-year high school term. Developed by the publications de- partment, the forms aided in the completion of the senior album section of the yearbook. All graduating seniors submitted to measurement for caps and gowns on January 22 and deposit- ed a S5.25 rental fee. Due to an increase of breast cancer cases, senior girls received a program on self-exam- ination established by the Allen County Can- cer Society and the United Way in order to help inform possible victims. Advanced biology classes investigated methods of identifying and controlling varied forms of bacteria after inoculating the agar- agar growth medium. Identification according to shape determined the type of anti-biotic to be used to counteract the bacteria. The bud- ding biologists tested the validity of many disinfectant cleaners ' claims. The bacteriolo- gy study provided a change from routine lec- tures, though several Gens discovered the ink- like dyes used in aiding visibility of the tiny specimens colored not only bacteria, but hands and clothes as well. Super-soph Roosevelt Barnes pumped m a season high 25 points as the Wayne Generals downed the New Haven Bulldogs. Senior Mark Hoffman also hit a season high as he scored 21 points, upping the team ' s slate to 4-5 mid- way through the season. The red and blue roundballers succumbed to the Northrop Bruins for the second time in the span of a single week, first in the champ- ionship game of the Bruin-hosted Holiday Tourney, and again in an SAC home contest. Wayne stayed close to last year ' s Hoosier Hysteria state champs until the final seconds of the game when Northrop sharpshooters grabbed two quick baskets to win. 48 — January Kaplan ' s Furniture Soufhgate Plaza Fort Wayne, Indiana Phone 744-1295 ' Name Brand Furniture at a Price You Can Afford ' M N Shoe Store 115 Wayne Street Fort Wayne, Indiana ca ll us 742-827 7 Waynedale Radiator 6615 Bluffton Road Fort Wayne, Indiana 747-4808 UH di LZCH.

Nineteen of the choir ' s members represented Wayne while select members from the other five FWCS high schools accounted for the remaining voices. Under the direction of Mr. Richard Seeger of Snider, the Honors Orchestra, comprised of 63 students, contained seven representatives from Wayne. Instrumental musicians from the six public and three parochial high schools auditioned for their positions in the Orchestra which launched rehearsals in October, perform- ing a concert January 12th at Snider. Due to misuse of media center facilities, librarians Mr. Robert Weick and Mr. Richard Davis closed the non-fiction section to stu- dents.

Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Cox, well-armed for the task, supervised the crea- tion of the pre-Elmhurst basketball game din- ner, assisted by student, parent, and faculty volunteers, including Wayne cooks. Many Gens found a chance for new experi- ences, as did the third year sewing classes. The seamstresses experimented with various fake fur materials and new techniques for the fuzzy fabric. Cutting with razor blades rather than shears and using simple patterns with no involved stitchwork proved necessary in the advanced sewing project. An epidemic of cramming swarmed seniors early in the month as they assembled in the three study halls after morning announcements to begin four hours of testing. Permanent rec- ords retained the results of the Iowa Test of Educational Development (ITED) which meas- ured the advancement of students ' educational levels from ninth to twelfth grade. Due to the lack of consideration from the boilers in mid-January, the rock concert as- sembly suffered postponement until a warmer time slot could be arranged. Rescheduled. Un- der New Management entertained Gens with fif- ties tunes and top hits. The seven-member group of college students presented one of the highlights of the General year. On a judging scale of perfect 7 to 35, the Swing Choir received an 8 and two 9 ' s for their performance of Gershwin ' s Clap Yo ' Hands and Meditation arranged by Anita Kerr. The three judges awarded the Choir a su- perior rating at the Northern Indiana School Band Orchestra ' Vocal Association (NISBOVA) contest hosted by Snider High School. The Stage Band received two 8 ' s and a 10 for their performance of Willow Gold and Getting Straight at the NISBOVA contest. President J. P. Specht called the fifth per- iod Council meeting to order as representatives assembled for the first time in the new year.

Roosevelt Barnes and Al Gooden presented the only offensive threat as they scored 22 and 11 points respectively. Senior Shauwn Wattley pumped in a season-high 13 points against Dwenger, taking up the slack left by Roosevelt Barnes who retreated to the bench with a sore ankle in the first quarter. The red and blue con- fronted the Bishop Dwenger Saints in a thriller at Wayne for a 66-65 General victory. Wayne ' s gymnastics team participated in its first optional meet January 27 against East Side. The girls maintained exceptional form in the long meet, but the balance beam competi- tion received the most attention due to sopho- more Beth Stadler ' s injury. Placing first in her optional routine. Beth slipped in the dismount hitting her foot and breaking it. Wayne ' s co- ordinated beauties visited Elmhurst ' s gym and brought home a victory over the hosting female Trojans. Senior Fred Adams was the first grappler to walk off the mat a winner as he took a 9-4 de- cision over his Dwenger opponent on the home mats. Despite the Gens ' determined efforts to close the gap, the Saints nabbed a narrow vic- tory. The Harding Hawks traveled to Wayne ' s gym and controlled the evening, though Fred Adams started the match with a 6-point lead over Harding, pinning his opponent in 2:59. Senior Keith Hill advanced 3 points as he won by a 9-2 decision, and Mike Reed won by a 7-2 decision, ending the scoring for Wayne as the Hawks stole the match. Wayne ' s sophomore cage crew dropped to 4-3 on the season when they lost to the Elm- hurst Trojans at the victors ' stadium. James Austion spearheaded the General attack with 13 points on 5 field goals and 2 free throws. John Tourney added six. Walter Smiley and Doug Fogwell added four each, and Melvin Bell tallied three points. The sophomore Gens suffered their second straight defeat at the hands of South Side ' s Archers January 9th. The team found them- selves outplayed in all aspects of the game. Doug Fogwell led in scoring when he went 4 for 8 from the field and 2 for 4 from the free throw line. Jon Sieber added 8 points to the Gens ' weak offensive attack while Kurt Schnei- der and Walter Smiley each tallied 6. John Tourney scored 12 points, but the cag- ers dropped below 50 when they suffered their fifth defeat against four wins at the hands of the Northrop Bruins. Gary Bush was the sec- ond high scorer for the Generals, pumping in 6 points with one field goal and four from the charity stripe. January - 55 Cagers humble rival North The Wayne victoiy over their cross-town basketball rival North Side constituted one of the major January sports highlights. After three years of heartbreakingly close losses to the Redskins, Wayne finally gained revenge against North Side in a home barn burner set up by 27 points scored by sophomore Roose- velt Barnes. Thirteenth-ranked Elmhurst held off rallying Gens on Wayne ' s hardwood in a marginal game, but the Generals came back for a victory over the Kokomo Haworth Huskies at Kokomo. Generals also witnessed smooth playing by the Boss Players, the boys ' intramural bas- ketball champs. Their team ousted Together Brothers and Turkey Joes to make it to the finals against runner-up team, the Hom- bres. The General wrestling team grappled their way through the North Side match and on to fourth place in the Bellmont Invitational Wrest- ling Tournament with seven individual champ- ions in the eight-way tournament. Later in the month they edged South Side to end their Jan- uary season. The girls ' basketball team triumphed over Northrop in their first home game of the season by displaying great rebounding, as seniors Debbie Fox and Debbie Dick snatched 18 and 16, respectively, of Wayne ' s 54 rebounds. Un- fortunately, they did not control the low-scor- ing Wayne-versus-Snider g ame or grab the snug Dwenger victory. The team bounced back force- fully against Harding for a landslide victory as the girls led the entire defensive game against the female Hawks. Track men began practices early in January for the upcoming track season. Full team warm- ups and individual warmups for specific events comprised the extra-curricular preparation. Condition workouts and the skill practices which required exceptional drill and discipline improved the qualifications of the sophomore and junior dominated team.

Dr. Peter Lawson de- livered the address in the media center. Miami guidance counselor Miss Beverly Moore con- ducted the study in the tiered lecture room. Her subject included self-defeating behavior, discussing the various comfortable patterns people set for themselves.

Internationally-known choral conductor, ar- ranger, and lecturer Dr. Jester Hairston served as .giiest director of the Honors and massed choirs during the lengthy February rehearsals and at the public concert February 9 in Wayne ' s 3.o00-seat gymnasium. Dr. Hairston ' s career spanned motion pic- tures, radio, and television. The most impress- ive of his occupations was that of Ambassa- dor of Good Will for the U.S. State Depart- ment over a 20-year period. As Ambassador he worked diligently with many choirs throughout the U.S. as well as ones abroad. Hairston ' s musical compositions and ar- rangements comprised much of the current rep- ertoire of black folk songs and spirituals. Dr. Hairston graciously accepted several awarded honorary degrees including a Doctor of Music from his own Tufts University. Seven musicians from General territory, as members of Honors Orchestra under the direc- tion of Mr. Richard Seeger. traveled to Ball State University for a concert in Muncie on February 4. Drama enthusiasts welcomed the initiation of Odd Couple tryouts in early February. Twen- ty potential actors auditioned for the six male parts while nine hopefuls vied for the two fe- male roles. Immediately following cast selec- tion, director Mr. Mike McVey launched rigor- ous rehearsals.

Februarv — 61 Moog odds fo varlefy; Involvement Doy gefs porenfs back in school The arrival of the Moog synthesizer in Jan- uary of ' 72 sparked Wayne ' s music department to experiment in the field of electronic music. The 4l,200 synthesizer proved capable of re- producing nearly every sound and of creating a few unfamiliar waves. Purchased to offer ap- proved students the opportunity to explore the realms of progressive music, the instrument was made available during and after school hours in addition to the continued electronic music class curriculum for especially talented Wayne musicians. Increasing visual awareness and art skills through a multitude of projects during the year, sophomore-dominated art classes repeated cur- ricular activities such as drawing, painting, using an air brush, and forming and glazing ceramics. Employing new techniques in paper mache, string-bottle design, and silk screened art on fabric, the talented Gens blossomed with guidance from department head Mrs. Barbara Thexton. With the addition of the new weaving loom, eager and intrigued students handled the colorful yarns and the self-created finished products. After weeks of countless after-school glor- ies, the Rimmers, consisting of Caryl Par- low, Maureen Clifford, Kim Wilhelm. Karen Archer, Karen Imbody, and Kathy Burke, won the girls ' intramural championship title. With a final score of 32-20, the cagers defeated their opponents, the Super Shots. Karen Im- body proved the champions ' outstanding scorer with 16 points, making the tourney exciting and thrilling throughout. 62 — February (Above) Sophomore Lori Wilson works intently on a weaving project in art class while Denlse Hines observes the ancient process.

Taking an active part in the second annual Community Involvement Day at Wayne, parents, friends, and neighbors began the irregular day with a scrumptious breakfast followed by in- formative tours of the building led by Student Council members. Rap sessions concerning student problems and intentions which would benefit students contributed to the special e- vent. A series of planetarium demonstrations left many visitors starry-eyed.

A compilation of three editors ' ideas, the book displayed layouts which chron- ologically combined all formerly sectioned subjects of the year. Dispatch journalists also lacked experience as sophomores Jay Farlow and Linda Bushey secured the feature and news editorial spots, respectively. Junior Bob Taylor and later Pen- ny Mitchell, who also submitted Wayne news to the Waynedaler. managed the sports section. Editor-in-chief Becky Edwards and business manager Beth Bauman governed the fourth per- iod staff. Encouraging more letters to the editor and attempting to place more emphasis on features and school sports, the bi-weekly news maga- zines also included a change to four-column layouts, periodic photo essays, and an in- creased effort to centralize on a main theme. Gens interested in Navy engineering visited a van displaying nuclear-powered sea crafts including the Polaris submarine.

February -65 Black History Week sparks fosfe for culture As Americans recognized the efforts of out- standing Black citizens who strived to up- grade the United States, Generals celebrated Black History Week with traditional posters and assemblies. Wayne observed the culture- filled week through the efforts of the Afro-Am- erican Club and its dedicated sponsors, Mrs. Jacqueline French and Mrs. Barbara Malone. Adding historic value, the week included the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and abolitionist Frederick Douglass. Making their debut before the student body in an assembly at the beginning of the educa- tional week, the Gospel Choir, under the di- rection of Rhonda Sanders, provided uplifting music for the congregated Gens, The assembly, which occupied the first two hours of class on Monday, February 11, featured speaker Anita DeFrance who, through her lengthy talk on the experience of the black race, captivated Gen- eral interest. An informative expo highlighted the week as representatives from various local corpora- tions and organizations flocked to the com- mons during lunch modules to provide students with information concerning careers and fields of study. The final assembly of the week publicized winners of the poetry contest as senior Steve Pasternak grabbed twenty-five dollars for his first place original: Equality! Ls the voice that comes from the depths. Let ' s get some solutions to our prob- lems! Tolerance develops, togetherness starts to form. and through the darkness comes a patch of blue. Ignorance, stupidity, and hatred are stronger. Brothers are fighting: a cloud sets in. Down with niggers! Stupid white honkies! Forgiveness and caring are set to the rear, Man is the smartest. He ' s the ruler of the world. Why, he is superior! so we hear. It must be right, for who else could think of so many ways to abuse each other? Following the announcement of poetry contest winners, the movie classic Gone Are the Days rounded out the week for the student body. 66 - Black History Week Stressing the national theme Fulfilling America ' s Promise throughout the entire week, the Afro-American Club obtained from Sears Roebuck Company a series of tapes which played over the public address system five minutes prior to the dismissal of each class. The tapes acknowledged contributions of famous Black people from both past and present.

Patriotic colors dom- inate d the halls and moved to General territory in the Colisium for the sectional game. Out- siders viewed a mass of red and blue figures cheering for their beloved team. The second day Gens rummaged through at- tics, closets, and the corners of their minds for fifties garb, adding slicked-back duck tails, rosy-red cheeks, cat-eye glasses, dirty ox- fords, and a revived fifties spirit. Sock-it-to- ' em and Stomp ' em day constitut- ed a final gesture of spirit as Gens wished for equally fancy footwork by the roundballer team that evening. Scandalous socks, high heels, torn tennis shoes, and a wide variety of foot- ies represented Gens ' hopes to sock their way to a stomping victory over South. Despite the sectional loss blues, Gen- erals dressed up in a tribute to the team for its determined efforts, attempting to rebuild shat- tered egos and revive lagging spirits. Roused from sixth hour classes by beating drums, Gens marched to the sectional pep ses- sion. The gym, plastered with various Stomp South posters, co-ordinated red and blue streamers to energize the atmosphere. Pom- pon girls enlisted to help boost spirits togeth- er with the cheerleaders, class skits, and the able assistance of Dashing Doehrman, alias Carl Nicholas, Juvenile Jordan, Ravish- ing Repp, Useless Eudaley, Silly Saw- yer, and Foxy Fox in the faculty skit. Lick ' em day celebrated wrestling section- als as juniors sold 12,000 flavorful Dum Dum suckers at three for ten cents. Making rounds during first, third, and fifth periods, the jun- iors boosted the class treasury by S150. Involving more than the performing aspect, the cheerleaders launched practices in the summer months and continued workouts before and after school and into vacations. Unknown to most Generals, the eleven ded- icated workers ' duties included designing pre- game posters, planning and executing pep ses- sions, and occasionally decorating the locker room to lift team morale. Cakes and goodies before special games encouraged Gen athletes while constituting another cheerleader job. Paying for spirit-boosting projects from their own pockets, the cheerleaders remedied the situation by sponsoring bake sale and car washing ventures. Captain Carol Hansen headed varsity cheer- leaders Ann Barnes, Debbie Fox, Lisa Block, and Jennifer Johnson. Captain Becky Durtschi, Sue Block, Elaine Enyeart, Kim Hallback, Jen- nifer Teddy, and Lori Wilson filled the six re- serve spots as one, rather than two, squads cheered sophomore and junior varsity teams in addition to the varsity.

Designed to allow interested students to use the gymnastic equipment, the club posted a majority claiming ties to the gymnastics team. Senior Mark Hoffman typically sank the first Gen basket in the Tipton game, teaming with high scorer Roosevelt Barnes who tallied 24 points. Sophomore Al Gooden basketed his share of points while sophomore Melvin Bell nabbed his first varsity points as he hit the bucket late in the game. Gens grabbed the lead during the low-scor- ing first period, but trailed Luers after half time until Hoffman scored ten points in an eight minute period, Wesley Alexander joined with Bell, helping to blitz the Knights. Barnes pumped in points as the Gens won their fourth consecutive game against Concord- ia. The game started explosively with Gens leading the way, but the tempo dropped off dur- ing the second quarter. Steve Bates hit four straight free throws in the third quarter as the Gens disposed of the Cadets. Although benched the first quarter, Barnes again led in scoring, this time over Bellmont. Junior Ken Cammack kept Barnes company on the sidelines, but finished the game with 16 points. The Gens knotted the score in the third quarter, and Barnes had the crowd holding their breath as he sank the winning basket with less than one minute left in the battle.

The cagers upheld the three-year tradition, cracking under pressure to drop their initial sectional encounter.

The ' 74- ' 75 basketball season revealed Super-sophs as Roosevelt Barnes, Al Good- en, and Steve Bates headed the General cagers to a respectable 12-9 slate. Coach Will Doehr- man ' s Kiddie Corps earned their title after Doehrman elected to start three sophomores in the season opener against Heritage. Barnes remained the only Gen appointed to the All-conference Team, but Bates, a six-foot eight-inch center, proved a key to much of the quintet ' s force. Junior Kenneth Cammack and veteran Mark Hoffman clinched the remaining regular starting positions.

Clinching firsts in each level except the beam competition, Rhonda Fleck and Jack- ie Wri.ght commanded the beginning level while Sue Block, Cheryl Trainer, and Barb Sprunger dominated intermediate competition. Carol Hansen, Jennifer Johnson, and Christie Stadler nabbed the optional accomplishments from the Knights. After tallying the Harding and Norwell vic- tories, the girls confidently met with New Ha- ven and Bellmont in a triple meet to bring home another well earned General win. proving the months of gruesome practices worth the sacrifice and effort. Accepting four ribbons in beginning level and five each in intermediate and optional levels, the girls snatched an ad- mirable six first place ribbons. The energetic team, led by captain Carol Hansen, accumulated several second and third year gymnasts and listed many talented up- starts in its favor. Coach Nancy Repp cited determination and spirit as the keys to the es- tablishing of the formidable squad. Vaulting, beam, unevens, and floor exercis- es rounded out the competitive roster in the beginning, intermediate, and optional levels. Contrary to the required beginning and inter- mediate level routines, the optional contest- ants created original performances within pre- scribed specifications. With opportunities to participate in one. two. or all four events, only Rhonda Fleck, Jennifer Johnson, Mary Paster- nak, Beth Stadler, and Jackie Wright elected the all-around competition.

Gymnastics — 75 Inexperience hinders mofmen of sectionals The grapplers finished their season under the pressures of records from years gone by. Though the regular season proved to be a dis- appointment, they entered sectional competi- tion hoping to continue Wayne ' s mighty repu- tation. Setback seemed to be the word for the night as only two General matmen advanced to regional competition. The crowd at New Haven High School ob- served as the Northrop Bruins grabbed the sec- tional championship. Snider, the first session leader, wound up in second place as Elmhurst and Concordia stole the third and fourth pla- ces, respectively. Wayne accepted fifth place in the sectional competition. Inexperience might be labeled the wiliest foe of the matmen as the team boasted only five seniors. Two juniors and six sophomores, an unusually large number, joined the seniors to round out the varsity squad. Two seniors, Keith Hill and Fred Adams, shared the title of co-captain for the zealous team. The two aided both the young team and their newly-appointed head coach.

Re- gional champion Mark Raabe of Concordia eked out a 6-3 decision over Hill which locked a second place for the General matman in the regional standings. With only eight of thirteen weight classes filled, the small reserve squad boasted stand- outs Tim Cooke at 119 pounds and Glenn Dav- is of both the 138 and 145 weight classes.

Admitting no pre- vious experience with an organized basketball team, the female cagers gained satisfaction from involvement in high school athletics. Coach Sue Jordan cited co-operation as a key factor of the energetic squad. Acquiring endurance as well as techniques of the sport, the feminists invaded the hard- woods after school and during vacations for strenuous practices. Conflict entered the pic- ture when the male gender launched their bas- ketball training. Submitting to male dominance, the girls scheduled their conditioning hours to the available gym time. Deviating from the boys ' format, the Gens battled SAC opponents in six-minute quarters while confronting non-conference teams in eight-minute segments. Playing a slower paced game than their male counterparts, the cagers struggled for equal spectator recognition. Senior Debbie Dick ' s scoring and rebound- ing proved invaluable to the novice squad, and Debbie Fox contributed inconsistent but fine scoring qualities. Proving a scoring asset, junior Pixie McAfee boosted the offense with steady buckets. Karen Merchant ' s defensive talents and Jenny Wolfe ' s offensive efforts al- so enhanced the young General sport.

The graduation requirement of one lab science, easily fulfilled through man- datory junior high biology, eliminated the ne- cessity of enrolling into an elective science class, though the overall enrollment increased to a pleasing 44% of the student body. New curriculum additions included astronomy and ecology. Comparing the unequaled excellence of an- cient catapulting with the modern sport, an in- formative film enlightened Gens. Centering on Wayne and the National Catapult Contest, the film focused a great deal on the achievements of the Latin classes of ' 73- ' 74. Charging a minimal entrance fee of 15 cents, catapulters raised money for repairs. Under the direction of president Gayle Cur- ley.

The celebrated coniedv. made familiar by the popular television series of the same name, opened March 5 and plaved three nights to rather small, but receptive. audiences. Senior Mark Dickmeyer led the cast as Os- car Madison, the slovenly sports writer. Shar- ing the spotlight, lunior Mark Peters portrayed the compulsively neat Mr. Clean. ' Feli.x Ungar. The play centered on the friction be- tween these dissimilar characters who wound up sharing a New York apartment after Felix ' s wife, fed up with his moose calls, muscle spasms, and constant cleaning, kicked him out. Senior Valerie Stoner and )unior Chi is ICeck imitated the giggly, very British Pigeon sis- teis who came to Oscar ' s apartment lor a fun evening and ended up sobbing the night away over Felix and his broken marriage. Four comical poker players completed the cast of characters. Junior Chuck Smith as- sumed the role of Murray, a lovable, easy-so- ing cop. Jim Ellis, also a junior, played Os- car ' s accountant. Roy. Vinnie. a whiny. hen- pecked poker wiz. was portrayed by another unior. Brian Marcus. Junior Mike Clifford played the cynical, sarcastic character. Speed. The large technical crew was headed by ' our seniors: Gayle Smith served as assistant director; Terry Johnson was stage manager: and Cathy Jones and Jane Tourney shared re- sponsibility for gathering the large list of props, including assorted junk as well as Playboy magazines.

The Junior Class congregated in Southtown Mall loaded with goodies in order to raise money for the prom. The Student Council resorted to the time-hon- ored tradition of a paper drive to secure the funds necessary for mini-courses. Starting with the monthly Student Council meeting March 5, plans were in full swing for such happenings as Wayne ' s first 75 rock ' con- cert and the anticipated mini-courses program. After many months of hard work and planning, the Council opened registration for mini-cours- es. With seniors receiving top priotiry, all three classes registered over a two week per- iod. Prior to the completion of registration, the program was threatened with cancellation due to student apathy. With expected partici- pation of 100° ' ,. the actual tally of 86% came as a great disappointment to the Council. After careful consideration, the Steering Committee, along with Principal William Davis, decided to keep May Day ' 75 intact. Wayne was invaded by little people when Mrs. Helen Bunnell ' s Human Development class attempted to entertain and care for a rowdy group of energetic toddlers. Lots of ten- derness and loving affection, teamed with a few frustrated tears, turned March 20 into a very special day for both toddlers and teens. Wayne ' s fourth annual Winter Sports Potluck took place once again in the cafeteria. Out- standing athletes, including those from Uoys ' basketball, girls ' basketball, gymnastics, and wrestling, were honored. Wayne ' s 16-member speech team journeyed to Elmhurst to take part in the sectional com- petition. Seniors Lois Levihn ini impromptu and Gayle Smith in oratory both captured first place ribbons, while orators Zena Beagle, Pam McDonald. Brian Marcus, Kurt Schryver, J. P, Specht, and Steve Taylor additionally qualified to advance to regional competition. That higher level ordeal followed a week later with an early morning meet in Columbia City. Lois Levihn placed sixth in impromptu and stood as the lone General to reach the finals. Nabbing an admirable 26 ribbons throughout the year, the dedicated orators often surrend- ered extra sleep and lazy Saturdays to speech meets.

Sue Block won intermediate vaulting, and Beth Stadler clinched a blue ribbon iri optional unevens. Two gymnasts took first place ribbons in re- gional competition. Sue Block secured a first in intermediate and Jackie Wright flew to a first place in beginning vaulting. The windy, biting-cold, snow-flurried day Wayne ' s boys ' track team played host to Bish- op Dwenger and Bellmont proved another sports highlight. Though the weather left a lot to be desired, the team performed outstandingly well at the triangular meet. Ken Cammack flew over the hurdles to the finish line and his ribbons while Ed Harris raced to glory in the 100-yard dash. His per- formance was repeated by two fellow cinder- men. Mike Russell who ran to the line in the 440-yard dash, and Victor Slayton who sprinted to victory in the 220. The distance runners also placed well. Jon Wolfe in the mile run, Scott McClintock in the , and Bob Wilson in the two-mile all posted fast times, Jim Pitzer received acclaim for the shot put while Jerry Nahrwold also shared the limelight for the discus throw.

Prom coronation committee members re- ceived bids from the homerooms, nominating the royal couple and attendants. Sorting nom- inations, the committee selected the ten guys and girls securing the most popular support. A cake decorating contest in the food class gave many of Wayne ' s young ladies a chance to create edible works of art. Graded on neat- ness, originality, and adherence to the basic principles taught by Mrs. JoAnn Pauwels, the cakes proved female talents. Scholastic Art Awards, sponsored by L. S, Ayres Co. and The News-Sentinel, presented five Gens with awards based on artistic merit. Kim Huffman, Jo Palmer, Debbie White, and Becky Mattes placed as Gold Key finalists while Letha Anderson accepted a certificate denoting honorable mention.

Wayne batmen began the ' 75 season in a home battle against the Bellmont Braves. Through the cold, sleeting weather, the Gens kept warm with their eagerness and ambition to bat the season off to a great start. Sharing the mound with two sophomores, Lynn Bird and John Tourney, was junior Bill Gephart in the losing struggle against South Adams. Pitching his first complete game of the season, junior Gary Huffman relinquished seven runs on nine hits as Wayne lost their first SAC baseball en- counter to Concordia. Wayne downed Harding, and Huffman then evened his pitching record to 1-1, as the Gens defeated New Haven in a rain-shortened, five inning encounter at the Bulldog diamond. The Gens sent 11 hits flying, including a three-hit performance by all-SAC third baseman Greg Pike. Wayne topped South Side, North Side, and North Manchester in three consecutive bat- tles, putting them in SAC second place. In the second meet of their season, the girls ' track team managed second place in a four-way challenge among South Side, North- rop, and Harding. Possibly due to a lack of experience as they represented the first year of the organized sport ' s existence, the track- sters dropped a meet to Bellmont. The two tri- angular meets following added two more sec- ond place positions, proving the hard work and determined efforts of the fleet-footed females. Hurling softballs.

Palmer heads innovafive May Day, students enjoy unusual mini-courses Under the leadership of chairperson Jo Palmer, the Student Council innovated the pre- mier mini-courses day. The variety of activi- ties and the overall structure of the day re- flected the forethought and careful planning. Providing Ge nerals with an awareness of re- sources available in the community, the unique day began as a hopeful tradition. Though several students chose to vacation rather than take advantage of the rare oppor- tunity offered by the Council, the majority of the General populus enjoyed the valuable and informative mini-courses. A guitar class, under Mr. Lowell Shearer, split as Mr. Shearer took charge of the folk and classical players and Jerry Becraft helped those on electric guitar. The cheerful atmos- phere added to the fun of learning a popular song or two to practice. Representatives from Photographic Services Inc. traveled to Wayne to show the small de- coupage class the beautiful effects of decou- page on a photograph. Photographing each stu- dent, the visitors showed interested Gens how to mount the picture, resulting in a beautiful pendant to take home. Worth every penny of the 50-cent fee charged was the candle making class. Mrs. Claudia Pe- ters exhibited her talents and let the students experiment in making their own candle. The proper way to volley was demonstrated by experts as one of the mini-course activi- ties. A large group of students congregated in the auxiliary gym for the volleyball games and a short lecture on technique. Mr. Bob Englehart, talented cartoonist for The Journal-Gazette, visited Wayne for the cartooning class. His work mainly politically oriented, Mr. Englehart sketched caricatures of former President Nixon, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, and Fort Wayne ' s Mayor Ivan Lebamoff. He also spoke of careers in art and of quality art schools in the Midwest. Traveling away from school, the group go- ing on a canoe trip at Bixler Lake in Kendall- ville left at seven a.m. The bicycle trip around Fort Wayne also left slightly earlier than norm- al hours headed for a day of cyclic exercise in the sun. Movie fans or students between classes headed for the auditorium to view silent mov- ies and early talkies. 100 -May Day ' 75 (Left) MunK ' iilarily hclrl u[i hv ,-i passing; train, Ccns parlicipalinn in Ihr hikf hike arcjund Ihc cily lake a bri ' ak in Ihc journi ' ' .

Taste was considered by the foods commit- tee and chairperson Vicki Adams as they se- lected appropriate food combinations with the help of Mrs. Janet Lipp and Mrs. Anna Gray. Adding the personal touch to distribution of announcements, junior class secretary-treas- urer Molly McConnell dispatched invitation- carrying members of all committees to juniors and seniors. Coronation chairperson Lorri Lah- mann and sponsor Miss Vicki Weaver concluded court tabulations as the prom approached. In addition to assisting with cafeteria ar- rangements and set up, Tom Hunkler led a de- voted crew of underclassmen in dismantling paraphernalia during the clean up the following Sunday afternoon. Seniors flock ed to the gym the week prior to graduation to claim the boxes containing their rented caps and gowns. Signifying the end of their days at Wayne, proud upperclass- men modeled the long-awaited robes.

Suspense heightened until Junior Class president Bob Smith crowned the royal couple, Molly McConnell and Eric Schneider who led attendants in the coronation dance to the theme song Somewhere. The popular punch fountain delighted guests as they entered the candle-lit cafeteria. Chaf- ing dishes added to the elegance of tropical cuisine including Swedish meat balls, chicken and coconut, and raw vegetables and fruit piec- es arrayed on pineapple. While many couples flocked to private part- ies, some students finished their memorable evening at Village Bowl, the after-prom event organized by Bill Tellman, Tammy Vernon, and Vickie Hipsher.

Gens capture firsf in National Catapult Contest v The study of foreign languages and their associated cultures played an important role in the lives of many Generals as the classes began using individualized study programs. As Gens underwent new experiences, two of the Spanish restaurants in Fort Wayne, El Az- teca and Don Pedro ' s, were subjected to visits from Wayne ' s Spanish classes. Those studying German feasted at the Heidelberg Restaurant in Huntington with the invited Fregerspa Club.

Entering again in the National Catapult Contest, Latin enthusiasts prepared the two- time national winner Imperator for the shoot- ing Wayne High School, as the regional shoot- ing site, displayed catapults from La Grange and Fountain City with her own Imperator. Present for the festivities were Mr. Bernard Barrio, head of the National Catapult Contest, and Mr. Hal Vizino, Language Consultant for the Fort Wayne Community Schools. Decked in Roman apparel, students from Snider opened the ceremonies, and all involved with the festival represented the period accord- ingly as guys wore togas and girls wore pallas and stollas. In the Festum Romanum contest. Mike Etter grabbed a first place award for his soldier costume while Deanette Thomason ac- capted the same for her matrova costume. For a small catapult dubbed Dux Tarvus, crafted by Roger Miller, there was a first place award in the lightweight division and S50 for the craftsman.

Sophomores played an important role in Wayne baseball as coach Lee DeTurk elected to start four of the rookies. Catcher Mike Reed, pitchers Lynn Bird and Jon Sieber, third base- man Mark Holloway, and outfielder Roosevelt Barnes gained starting berths. The climax of the long season brought on a heartbreak as the Bellmont Braves revengeful- ly conquered Wayne in the first sectional game. Gary Huffman started on the mound and pitched a beautiful ten-inning no hitter, but due to the technical rules of sectiona l competition, soph- omore Lynn Bird relieved Huffman, and the Braves collected a hit to take the game. The girls ' track team continued to give ef- fort to performance though never rallying to rise above a second place rating. Senior Karen Merchant placed first consistently in the soft- ball throw while sophomore Jan Swartz set the pace in the mile run. In their premier season the cinderwomen proved their substantiality, though lacking imperative experience. Eleven top notch track teams from Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and Indiana traveled to Dayton to compete in the Dayton Invitational Meet. The Gens fared well and succeeded in bringing home a second place ribbon. Later the tracking Generals swept over Elmhurst and Marion in a triangular home meet. The reserve team humbled Elmhurst but succumbed to a well rounded Marion squad.

The reserve team walked away with three wins against no de- feats as they rolled up 84 ' 2 points. In the an- nual North Side Relays Ken Cammack captured both the high and low hurdles to lead the Gens to third place. The half-mile relay team won a first while Gary Bush and Jim Pitzer nabbed second places. Regionals saw Ken Cammack leap for third place in the lows and second in the highs. Carlton Hicks dashed to first place in the 100 and second place in the 220 while shot putter Jim Pitzer grabbed a third. The leading 880 relay team suffered disqualification as the ba- ton crossed into another lane after falling from the anchor man ' s hands. At State. Cammack placed third in the lows and fifth in the highs. The cindermen went on to finish in a tie for seventeenth place state- wide, but fourth among Fort Wayne area teams in the annual State Track and Field Champion- ships in Indianapolis. Of the three men who qualified, junior Ken Cammack was the lone point getter. After a less-than-spectacular season with only two wins, the girls ' tennis team regained glory at sectionals. The racqueteers displayed an exciting comeback as the first day of sec- tionals qualified them for the finals and result- ed in a third place. Singles queen Becky Dur- tschi and the doubles team of Cheryl Jones and Sue Block, along with Pam McDonald and Diane Parlow, brought home place ribbons. Cindy Bland, the only senior racqueteer, se- cured the number one position while Becky Durtschi claimed the second spot. Junior Barb Sprunger also showed potential in holding the number three position on the female team. The annual Spring Sports Potluck comm.en- orated the year-round feats performed by ath- letic Gens. Wayne awards were given to the outstanding sportsters in their specific fields. Highlighting the evening was the presentation of the Blanket Award to Jon Wolfe, symboliz- ing outstanding achievement in three sports. Mrs. Nancy Repp and Miss Sue Jordan judged cheerleader hopefuls with critical eyes as the girls displayed their crowd-arousing abilities. The new varsity squad consisted of Lisa Block. Sue Block. Jennifer Johnson, Car- olyn Lockett, and Kay Mann. Bemice Peppier. Brenda Simon, Beth Stadler, Lorie Wilson, Lee Golden, and Karen Kruse secured reserve squad appointments.

Introducing the Theme A -Theme B electives at schedule planning time the year before, instructors and instructees alike tumbled through the initial hassles of the split program. Theme A repre- sented the traditional class setup while Theme B demonstrated a policy allowing for increased individual output. Possibly due to the ap- proaching bicentennial, a dramatic increase in ■ the enrollment in social studies courses for the 1975 -76 year contrasted the slight in- crease noted in the initial year for the two- theme classes.

The Business Department planned to introduce Notehand, profitable for college-bound stu- dents, and Data Processing, a course for those seeking top business job opportunities. Fifteen students participated in the COE (Co-operative Office Education) program, se- curing training stations ranging from those in banks, hospitals, and country clubs to attorn- ey and accountants ' offices. Possessing little previous office experience, students acquired a vast increase in knowledge pertaining to office management. The fourth annual Office Education of Am- erica (OEA) Club banquet finalized their act- ive business year. To signify participation in the OEA program, students presented their employers with plaques bearing the OEA em- blem to be hung in the respective offices.

Second year students ad- vanced to construction as they designed floor plans, electrical plans, and foundations for scale models in the S15-S20.000 range. More girls delved into industrial arts than in previ- ous years. Due to lack of funds available to the department, new mechanical pencils proved the only new equipment. Missing the super-sunny afternoons and struggling through the soggy, rain-soaked mid- June days, dedicated Sentry staff members sac- rificed long hours to the preparation for the printed editinn of the year Nerves tingled, minds boggled, and fervent prayers were offered in an effort to survive the week of final testing. The industrious and not- so-industrious underclassmen crammed for the tests. Fear of finals struck even the academ- ically elite as the exams possessed the ability to influence grades as much as 20° . Bonding together in search of respite from worldly pressures, several Generals and spon- sor Mr. Kent Fishel met each Wednesday morn- ing at 7:00 a.m. for prayer. Striving to share experiences, the group discussed God and His answers to prayer. Enjoying the tightly-knit, close feeling achieved through the group, stu- ' dents planned summer sessions. Planning to adopt a new policy In the Eng- lish Department for the 1976-77 school year. Wayne English teachers arrived at a tentative decision. Calling for a modification of the phased electiv e system, the new ideas reflect- ed a semi-elective setup confining students to classes offered for their specific grade level. Allowing upperclassmen the privilege of drop- ping to lower levels, but restricting under- classmen from advancing, the available cours- es would split into segregated sophomore, jun- ior, and senior groupings. Basic English struc- ture and grammar would round out the sopho- more curriculum.

Caught up in the tense anticipation, the honors, the tears, and the realization of goals, nearly 300 robed Generals stood suspended between discarded childhoods and the pressing future. Entering the gym to the traditional Pomp and Circumstance. upperclassmen faced a capacity crowd assembled in their hon- or for Wayne ' s fourth commencement. Class vice-president Tom Scheumann deliv- ered the invocation as senior choir members joined juniors in singing for classmates. Val- edictorian Gayle Smith and salutatorian Steve Lebamoff jointly presented their sincere, yet colorful, address, and each class member then experienced momentary glory during the distri- bution of diplomas by Principal William Davis. As Senior Class president Eric Schneider viewed his class for the final time, excitement mounted until he declared the Class of 1975 officially graduated with the traditional tassel ceremony. Presenting a final tribute, the choir sang the unofficial Alma Mater and a choral bene- diction, pausing for class secretary-treasurer Mariann Springer ' s benediction. Clutching treasured diplomas, the graduates marched to- ward the open arms of the welcoming world. (Above far left) Clutching the treasured document, Ed Harris walks proudly to his seat to await the tassel ceremony to officially become a graduate.

Linksmen drop crown bid; fhinlklods impressive General linksmen were unable to defend their SAC crown, but they concluded the sea- son with a respectable 13-5 slate in Summit Athletic Conference competition. Eric Schnei- der finished his third year as a varsity golfer as he grabbed the Wayne Award which tagged him as captain of the sectional team. Brad Gorrell also finished his third season as a member of coach John Churchward ' s crew. Sen- ior Mark Hoffman set the school record when he fired a 33 at the Brookwood Golf Club. The 3-under-par score broke the old barrier of 34 set by Schneider last year. The reserve team finished the season with a perfect 4-0 record as they dropped their op- position by an average of 17 strokes per match. Junior Jeff Werling consistently paced the re- serve squad. Sectional time again spelled disappoint- ment for the Generals. The linksmen finished out of the top three and missed advancing to regionals by half a dozen strokes. Scoring 38 on both the front and back nines, Eric Schnei- der made an exceptionally good showing for coach Churchward ' s squad as he fashioned a 4-over-par 76 on the soggy Brookwood course. (Above left) Mike Russell hands off the baton to fellow teammate Bill Slasher during the strenuous mile relay. (Left) In preparation for a match, Wayne ' s golfers and an opposing Trojan practice diligently at Brookwood ' s driving range. For Schneider ' s seasonal efforts, he made the All-SAC team for the third consecutive year. Commencing pre-season practices in Janu- ary, the mighty General track team proved the early start profitable as the 1975 edition of the team brought home the first IHSAA track sectional trophy in the short history of the school. The Gens compiled a prestigious 11-2 record and finished third in both the North Side Relays and the SAC finals. The cindermen al- so claimed a runner-up trophy at the first an- nual Dayton Roosevelt Invitational track meet which featured outstanding teams from the en- tire Midwest. Junior hurdler Ken Cammack, sprinter Carl- ton Hicks, and shot putter Jim Pitzer proved very consistent and were the only Gens to par- ticipate in the state meet. Senior Jon Wolfe rounded out an exceptional track career as a mile runner with his seasonal highpoint of a record breaking 4;24.8 mile against Northrop. Gary Bush ' s record breaking 6 ' 6 high jump, Barry Rowe ' s 13 ' 3 pole vault, and Carlton Hicks ' s 9.7-second 100-yard dash high- lighted coach Nelson Detwiler ' s season. Golf -123 Respons bi ify I 12-4 -Staff key word for 1975 in General offices Several administrative changes in the Gen- eral offices occurred in 1975. With the depart- ure of Mr. Richard Clevenger came the intro- duction of Mrs. Martha Houser. who left her po- sition as Dean of Girls to accept the respons- ibilities of Assistant Principal. Mrs. Jacque- line Foelber became Assistant to the Principal. Mr. Robert Leiman, along with Miss Ruth Eudaley, held his post as Student Council sponsor. Mr. Leiman worked in co-operation with Student Council members on May Day ' 7 5. When the future of mini-courses was threat- ened, Mr. Davis decided in its favor.

The money shortage and predicted lower en- rellment in the Fort Wayne Community Schools affected several teachers at Wayne. With an overall reduction of well over 100 instructors. Wayne felt the crunch, losing three educators to the cutbacks. Mr. Mike McVey, who secured an Anthony Award for his performance of Fleetfoot in the Civic Theatre ' s production of Liitle Mary Sun- shine, resigned his position as head of the drama area to continue his graduate studies in the performing arts. A two-year veteran of the Performing Arts Department at Wayne, Mr. Mc- Vey supervised and directed such productions as Wait Until Dark and 1974 ' s spring musical. Funny Girl. After 34 years in the teaching profession, business instructor Mr. Leland Bud Johnson retired. During his term of service, Mr. Johnson spent 30 years at Central and the past four years at Wayne as Chairman of the Business Department. At both Central and Wayne, he taught various business subjects, including ac- counting and business arithmetic. According to reliable sources. Mr, Johnson ' s favorite pastimes at Wayne were working crossword puzzles, helping at athletic events, and ha- rassing Principal William Davis during faculty meetings. Mr. Johnson ' s plans for retirement included travel, golf, and just plain, well-de- served relaxation.

Above) Senior Steve Ballinger carefully meas- ires the prescribed medication as part of his lart time job in a local pharmacy. ' 1 L Schneider, Scheumann, Springer govern Seniors through individually good year The Class of 1975, led by senior pres- ident Eric Schneider, vice-president Tom Scheumann, and secretary-treasurer Mari- ann Springer experienced an eventful year individually, though class accomplish- ments were few. The graduating Generals retained one claim to fame in a year filled with tradi- tions: on a rain-drenched June evening, 298 seniors, including 49 honor gradu- ates, participated in Wayne High School ' s fourth annual commencement exercises. Threatening skies forced both partici- pants and proud observers into the gym- nasium bleachers instead of the stadium as the nervous, yet unashamedly proud, graduating class assembled for perhaps the last -and certainly the most import- ant -time. Planning for the future years might be labeled the central theme for the Class of ' 75. Interest waned in school activi- ties as jobs and college preparations maintained priority. Senior Steve Ballinger distributed his time as he once again accepted the re- sponsibilities of head photographer for both the Dispatch and the Sentry as well occupying a part time job at a local pharmacy. Former editor-in-chief Beth Bauman and two-year veteran Becky Edwards ac- cepted the posts of Dispatcl business manager and editor-in-chief, respectively. Experience, ingenuity, and many long, hot hours of devotion proved essential in guaranteeing th at each Dispatch reached the goals set by the staff.

As the winter season finally settled in at Wayne, many upperclassmen sought a refuge from books and teachers. With plenty of snow- mobiling country around, many Gens developed active liking for the sport. Just a short drive avv-ay, Pokagon State Park offered a wide as- sortment of winter fun. As the year progressed, apathy and senior- itis affected a majority of the senior class. With a mild month of February and an even milder month of March, senior Generals found distinct pleasure in reverting to nature via frequent trips through Foster Park. Tension ran high as 1975 drew to a close, leaving Wayne ' s fourth graduating class alone to contemplate the challenging future.

Seniors dominat- ed varsity cheerleading as veteran yell- ers Debbie Fox, Carol Hansen, and Ann Barnes led the squad. The Key Club, one of Wayne ' s several service organizations, washeaded by sen- ior Richard Bleeke. Aside from the annu- al light bulb sale. Key Club members al- so worked diligently in ridding portions of Winchester Road of litter. The Lettermen ' s Club broke long- standing tradition and invited female let- ter winners to join. President Merrill Mo- rey led the club through toothbrush sales and the mums sale during homecoming. The Gospel Choir made their debut un- der the direction of president Rhonda Sanders. Due basically to Rhonda ' s ef- forts, the choir met weekly and rehearsed untiringly, performing their opening ap- pearance before the school during Wayne ' s fourth annual Black History Week.

The year witnessed world-changing events as the Southeast Asian War came to a drastic end, forcing Americans to e- vacuate. As upcoming societies inherit the problems and deal with the effects of the era, the responsibilities of the Viet- nam orphans concern future generations. Construction of the Alaskan pipeline promised a temporary supply of oil for the future while the re-opening of the Suez Canal foreshadowed renewed trade and a chance for world peace. The coming of the Freedom Train e- voked patriotism as the celebrated revo- lutionary spirit spurred Gens to evaluate themselves, the country, and the world, reviving neglected goals and ideals. Getting a head start on the national mood, at Wayne the spirit of unity flour- ished. In an atmosphere of puzzlement, the Class of ' 75 broke the bonds of se- curity offered by the school, only to start a new puzzle. Shaping themselves to in- terlock with the changing society, they learned to exist as a whole around other parts of the complete puzzle. (Right) Challenging the graduates of ' 75 with eacn winding turn toward the future, the road of life leads to an endless puzzle. (Below) Standing ready to follow the foot- steps oi peers, tinv lots monopolize the piec- es of many Generals ' futures.

Paraphrased from April 12 by Rod McKuen No one ' s moved the road for me and no one ' s found a ivoy to heal the brush down through the ivoods or make the brambles snap hack safely and on cue. No clearing in the woods oivaits my coming, foot or horseback. except the clearing that I make myself. But the path to you was never easy and the road that led me this far had no lamps to light it.

B L seemed dominated by sopho- 1 mores and juniors . . . but as a junior editor, that may be a prejudiced statement. I can specifically remember saying to our adviser Mr. Fred Autenrieth that I did not wish to be con- sidered for the editor spot for the ' 75 book, but as Charlene Timmersman moved to Minnesota and Kathy Teixeira rightful- ly focused her attention toward her hus- band and home, I inevitably became the first underclass Sentry editor. Being appointed editor as a junior re- vealed problems because the yearbook represents the history of Wayne ' s year, and it carries a special meaning for sen- iors. Gaining senior staff members ' co- operation and respect, creating a book containing a senior ' s perspective with which I could not empathize, and fulfil- ling my goals plus those of two previous editors confronted me. The Sentry staff proved completely op- posite from my dreaded expectations as the seniors offered more help than 1 could have hoped for. Although problems did a- rise at times, seniors Barb Hill, Calvin King, and Becky Smeltzer never refused to co-operate or to give me insight into the upperclassmen ' s views. Veteran head photographer Steve Ballinger always came through with top quality results, though creating chaos in the process. For his talents, we are indebted. The staff presented nearly 100% co- operation, although the daily June work hours from 7;30 a.m. to Midnight showed low attendance. Album co-ordinator Rusty Cox worked untold hours to complete the book, and Dispatch editor-in-chief Becky Edwards stood by the staff through the wearying weeks in June to offer her as- sistance. Sophomore Colleen O ' Connor also had no commitments to the book but returned continually to the pressure-filled pub room. To the remaining Dispatch con- tributors, Linda Bushey and Jay Farlow, I am also grateful. Without the faculty ' s patience and co- operation, this book would not be possi- ble as staff members repeatedly contact- ed them for necessary information and, near school ' s end, requested permission to leave their classes to work in the pub room. Mr. Nelson Detwiler ' s supervision of the division page graphics designed by MikeKierzkowski, and Mrs. Barbara Thex- ton ' s efforts to realize our cover idea, di- rectly affected the book ' s creation. Jo Palmer ' s encouragement and opening sec- tion art work proved unmatched. Returning to help us after graduation. Gayle Smith and Steve Lebamoff speeded work. For staff members ' determination, par- ents ' invaluable understanding, the fac- ulty ' s patience, and adviser Mr, Fred Au- tenrieth ' s continued support, there aren ' t enough thanks. We can look forward to next year with goals to improve lagging areas, but this year will remain impressed in mv memory forever. Reflections - 175 Look to this day ' .
