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

o Q. 00 When can their glory fade? the wild charge they made! All the world wondered. Honor the charge they made! Honor the Light Brigade, Noble six hundred! --Alfred, Lord Tennyson %tu„ ...new As school begins Wayne athletes charge into battle 24 — September m. Gridders end September with 2-3 record. Volleyball team wins its first eight matches. Crosscountry gives opponents a run for their money. Tennis team gets into a new raquet. Veteran backfield made up of Roosevelt Barnes, Al Rysman, Ron Rutledge, and Ronnie Hamilton turned the General foot- ball team around from perennial losers into one of the most powerful teams in the Fort Wayne area as gridders started the season two for two by easily downing their first two opponents. The Gens ' future looked promising as the Snider romp accounted for their first SAC victory of the season. The third game of the season found the Gens up against stiff Bruin competition. It looked as though the Generals would take the Bruins for a ride when heartbreak set in with only 51 seconds left in the game. The next two encounters also found the Gens with their guard down. Tough rushing and defense were the main elements as the Con- cordia Cadets handed Wayne their second defeat. In the next contest the South Side Archers scored a 21-6 victory over the Wayne Gener- als in a crucial SAC contest played at the Wayne Stadium. Off to a slow but sure start, the Wayne gridders ended September 1 -3 in SAC competition.
