with false start Gens accepted the changes in homeroom procedures as segregated grade levels met on Mondays and Thursdays after second period for 20 minutes, thus shortening the irregular 65 minute third period. Form- ing the 30 alphabetized homerooms, administrators planned to strengthen student unity. Another change, ending each pep session with the concert choir leading students in the singing of the alma mater, brought many a General to his feet. The singing of the alma mater added another tradition to Wayne along with the introduction of the spirit stick presented to the class that demonstrates the most spirtit at pep sessions. Mrs. Helen Bunnell ' s first year Sewing class welcomed Mrs. Mildred Ellingwood, a member of the Settlers, a national historical society. Mrs. Ellingwood demonstrated the art of spinning wool into yarn with an old fashioned spinning wheel while she delighted the class with her folk tales. + (a) Showing interested students how it was done in the olden days, Historical Soci- ety member Mrs. Milldred Ellingwood demonstrates the piocess involved with twisting carded wool onto the whorl to Mrs. Helen Bunnell ' s Human Development class.

Bon voyage Gens embark on n fall activities Wayne band makes you so very happy! The new graduation site makes seniors so very mad! Juniors are all wet! TT T ayne, host of the Marching Band Festival, led off the pro- A gram including eight local high schools with their rendition of THE SOUNDS OF YOUNG AMERICA. The Marching Band performed YOU MADE ME SO VERY HAPPY, featur- ing the twirlers and the pom pon girls in a special routine. The follow- ing day the band, twirlers, and pom pon girls performed for a crowd of spectators at the Johnny Appleseed Festival at City Utilities Park where historical displays captured the bicentennial theme. Seniors displayed mixed emotions over the announcement that the graduation site had been moved from the Wayne Stadium to the more impersonal Memorial Coliseum. With spring weather being so unpre- dictable, principal William Davis decided for the sake of everyone involved that the Coliseum would be the best choice, remembering how rain had forced the graduation ceremonies to be moved into the stuffy gym the previous year. Anyone who thought the Junior Class was all washed up would have agreed if they ' d passed the Phillips 66 gas station located on the corner of the Lower Huntington Road and Winchester Road during the Junior Class car wash. Raising money for the prom, recruited Gens brought in $59.00. Many students passed the after school hours as members of the var- ious clubs offered at Wayne. The FCA Huddle (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) sponsored by Mr. Kent Fishel promoted Christian fellowship in athletes at Wayne. Fregerspa, Wayne ' s foreign language club, began planning parties, fund raising projects, and cultural field trips for inguistic Gens. A new club initiated at Wayne was the Bicentennial Committee under the direction of chairman Brian Marcus and sponsor Mr. Charles Sheets. Their first project, the sale of bicentennial buttons, helped cap- ture the spirit of ' 76 while candy bars boosted their treasury. Soph- omore Jim Pierce designed the winning button in a contest sponsored by the Committee. (a) Juniors Cheryl Jones, Barb Zimmerman, and Kay Brown begin the first of the string of the Junior car washes at the Phillips 66 gas station on Winchester Road to raise money for the prom fund. (b) The General Store, a favorite hang-out for students before school and during the lunch mods, offers many necessities including pens, pencils, and a new attraction, sta- tionery. (c) Junior Lori Wilson acts as spokesman for the reserve cheerleaders at the Wayne vs. South pep session as they present to the school their trophy for the most original cheer won during a summer cheerleading camp. (d) Kerri O ' Riordan pauses in her weaving demonstration, one of the many early American crafts displayed at Fort Wayne ' s city-wide bicentennial project, the Johnny Appleseed Festival, at City Utilities Park. (e) Varsity cheerleader Jennifer Johnson presents the cheerleading offerings to the football team at the first pep session scheduled before the Wayne vs. South Side foot- ball game. 22 — September
