School in sioht Workshops dismiss; 4SJB%T , A £ Sentry 75 out; registration starts Gens may work, party and have fun in the sun after the 2:35 bell rings on the last day of school in June but school activities march on through the summer. E ager Gens at ' ended camps and workshops during the summer to improve skills and pursue personal interests. The Music Patrons financed juniors Jay Farlow and Cindy Grieder ' s week of jazz study at Ball State. Student Coun- cil president Bob Smith and Bicentennial Committee chairman Brian Marcus 7 attended the Student Leadership Institute at Bloomington. Under the direction of the Dynamic Cheerleading Association the reserve cheerleaders earned an award for the most original cheer at Anderson College while the varsity squad chose new uniforms in place of a week at camp. Publication people enjoyed little vacation as they completed SEN- TRY ' 75 on June 1 7 and immediately began work on both ' 75 and ' 76 publications. Editors-in-chief of the SENTRY and DISPATCH, Molly McConnell and Penny Mitchell, respectively, improved their journalistic skills at summer workshops. Molly journeyed to Texas and nabbed a beginning photography award and a second place for layouts while Penny traveled to Ball State and brought home one of three awards for outstanding accomplishment in news magazine. Both returned with fresh ideas for their new adviser Al Peters who also attended a work- shop with the new photographers at Franklin College. Participating in Youth For Understanding, the Norwegian exchange student Frederik Thorn arrived during the summer to spend his senior year at Wayne with the Rotruck family. Senior Debbie White and alumus Jo Palmer, with the assistance of Mrs. Barbara Thexton, painted the eight feet square portrait of a gen- eral, the 1 975 class gift to the school. Gens were in and out of Wayne all summer. Teeple Studios of Ken- dallville snaped senior portraits during the three months in unbearable heat, and, although the late distribution date for SENTRY ' 75 found many graduates in college, eager Gens filled the commons to inspect the books. Days later not-so-eager Gens trekked in for pre-registra- tion. (a) Senior racquetman Rick Shieferstein returns Sophomore Brad Lahmann ' s hard hit serve during one of many summer practice sessions led by tennis coach Everet Havens in preparation for the upcoming season.

(c) Jerry Lydy takes time out from his hectic summer vacation schedule to pose for his senior portrait while photographer Mr. Steven Teeple of Teeple Studios makes final technical adjustments. (d) Junior halfback Roosevelt Barnes barrells through enemy lines, attempting to avoid a Panther opponent ' s tackle as the Generals post their first SAC victory of the ' 75 season with a 27-6 triumph over the Snider Panthers. (e) Adding to memories of his tenure at Wayne, ' 75 graduate Pat Floyd joins in the meaningful exchange of signatures and other graffiti with juniors Bill Slusher and Dave Schnobel during the August distribution of SENTRY ' 75.

% ens reluctantly returned to the old grind as fall signaled the beginning of school. Cramming for tests and struggling with uncooperative lockers revived the feeling of school daze. Touch football, camping, and hunting also added to the air of fall. While Gens hit the books, national news hit the press. Assassination attempts and a crack up involving the armored limousine shook up President Gerald Ford and warranted banner headlines. Indiana ' s junior U.S. Sena- tor Birch Bayh announced his candidacy for the Demo- cratic presidential spot while 77 year old Supreme Court Justice Warren Douglas ' health forced him to resign his position. Following a 1 9 month search, FBI agents arrested newspaper heiress Patty Hearst in San Francisco. The Symbionese Liberation Army kidnap victim faced armed robbery charges. In addition to national events. Fort Wayne news gar- nered media attention. An outbreak of viral encephalitis inflicted the Fort Wayne area as several deaths were attributed to virus carrying mosquitos. Death also fol- lowed an arsonist ' s fire at the Sheraton Hotel. Efforts to save the crumbling Bash Building and Rose Marie Hotel failed and the nostalgic structures, charred by arson, tum- bled in light of Fort Wayne ' s 1 81 st birthday. City elec- tions revealed an upset victory for Republican candidate Robert Armstrong over incumbent Mayor Ivan Lebamoff. A five day Fort Wayne Educational Association strike interrupted Gen ' s classes as the teachers negotiated for a ten percent wage hike, smaller classes, and binding arbi- BONFIRES AND DRY CRACKLING LEAVES --• the scene as Gens head outdoors to spend last days of nice weather in the splendor of fall surroundings.
