Though the total number of Wayne ' s students has been shrinking for years, this was the year it was officially recog- nized, and it was decided that Wayne would lose 1 0.4 teach- ers. Many of those that had just joined the Wayne faculty would have to leave again, along with some who had been here longer. Rosalie Guillot, the grande dame of the French program, retired after a long and illustri- ous career in the Ft. Wayne Community Schools. Bill Mad- den, Chairman of the English department, left for Northrop, handing the reins over to Dave Didier. Mr. Madden, the only,] English chairman Wayne has.-; known is largely responsible for our complicated and intri- cate combination tradition phase elective English pro- gram. At the annual faculty! breakfast on the last day of school, the English depart- ment announced that the sen- ior award for excellence in English would be named foi the departing Madden. 20

en The English department also lost Geraldine Mansbach and Pat Reilly, the latter hav- ing only been at Wayne for a year. Madeline Garvin, a new teacher at Wayne who came from South Side, will remain, and some of the already men- tioned losses will be offset by the return of Nancy Mack after a year ' s absence to teach Latin and English. Also retiring was Bill Twite- hell from the physical educa- tion department after only one year at Wayne, but many more at Geyer. Wayne ' s per- manent substitute, Les Rob- erts, is also leaving after only one year. The fine arts will lose Connie Walburn and the performing arts will lose its part-time instrumental music teacher, Mr. Hickman. The popular bowling coach, Pat McKinney, will be lost to the social studies department as will Bernard Booker and Marilyn Haupert to the mathe- matics department. Barbara Gould wili no longer spin and weave in the upper B-hall, and Carl Mosser will leave Wayne ' s science department for Northside, not to mention the ever-popular Ed Hershey. Some of these teachers may return, though the out- look is uncertain, much as it is for the entire Ft. Wayne Com- munity Schools with the departure of its long-time superintendent Lester Grile. Class sizes will undoubtedly be larger, but may be offset by even fewer students in the coming years. (Right to left from above right) Marsh, Detwiler, Coleman, Ewing; Taylor.
