(Top Row) Lori Wilson, CAPTAIN. 1 Starting practices in August, the girls ' volleyball team consisted of eight veteran players and eight rookies, five of which were Sopho- mores. Gen fans, somewhat reluctant to the young team, delighted in the eight straight wins the team chalked up. Seniors Becky Durtschi and Jenny Wolf, top spilers early in the season, along with setters Leigh Ludden and Sue Block became the backbone of the General offense. Bev Hansel and Mary Pasternak rounded out the General line-up in the early season. Sophomore Linda Stadler showed promise as a strong hitter. The cross country team ended the September schedule one up on opponents with a 10-9 record. Three sophomores, Rick Spencer, Mike Scott, and Mark Wilson, won varsity honors and kept pace with vet- eran runners. The team, 5-6 in city competition, set their sights on end- ing the season with a winning margin. Coach Nelson Detwiler ' s reserve team sagged behind the varsity to post a disappointing 3-16 September slate. (a) Diligently finishing the last leg of Wayne ' s cross country course, Junior harrier Jeff Finton contributes to still another victory for the Generals by out-running his Black- ford opponents. (b) Parent Night spectators anxiously scan the gridiron while waiting for a badly needed Big Blue touchdown to avert their first home defeat by a hustling Concordia Cadet team. (c) Senior spiker Becky Durtschi puts everything she has into a slam in a vain attempt to regain control of the match as the Knights of Bishop Luers hand the team their only loss of the season. (d) Junior holfback Roosevelt Barnes makes an extraordinary effort to gain further yardage against a strong Concordia defense after receiving key blocks by his General teammates. (e) Junior netman Doug Fogwell slams one of his powerful serves over the ropes to a hapless Muncie Central opponent while on his way to an individual victory as the team drops the match 5-2.

beats tests Outsiders also invaded the halls ot Wayne. Mr. Steven Teeple deliv- ered senior portraits and returned the following week to snap under- classmen ' s pictures in the auditorium during history and P.E. classes. Josten ' s representative Gary Muncy introduced the new select-a-side ring at the Sophomore ' s class ring assembly. Shaken from their sec- ond and third period classes Gens rocked to a wide variety of music sprinkled with comedy during a concert presentation by FREE FARE, a touring group from St. Petersburg, Florida. The following night they performed a similiar concert, this one open to the public. Gens also took time out from their classes for testing. Sophomores puzzled over questions about everything from math to mechanics as the Armed Services ' test granted Gens the opportunity to discover hid- den vocational talents. Juniors, unable to escape the test scene, con- gregated in the tiered lecture room to take the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Tests (PSAT) which determined their eligibility for state schol- arships. ?( r, 3 (a) The traveling organization FREE FARE stopped at Wayne to entertain the Gener- als in the auditorium with electrifying, wall shaking music and fun-filled singing commer- cials about McDonalds, a favorite high school hang-out. (b) Congregated in the tiered lecture room Sophomores anxiously await important directions from the Armed Forces instructor to oid them in attaining the best possible scores which will affect scholarship chances. (c) In getting to the heart of journalism, sophomore Dan Hill and junior Gary LeMay find needed support on a large roll of unprinted paper while touring the Fort Wayne newspaper plant with fellow Basic Journalism classmates. (d) Professional photographer Mr. Steven Teeple and his assistant busily distribute long awaited senior proofs to anxious upperclassmen who stopped in the commons between periods or during classes. (e) During Mrs. Helen Bunnell ' s third period class, five talented Human Development students role-play the disadvantages as well as the advantages of alcohol consumption during a high-society social event. (f) Mr. Gary Muncy (alias the ring man ) is found to be very popular during the lunch mods while Generals gaze at the variety of styles and colors available in class ring selections. October — 27
