It was commencement night, June 2, 1980, and we, as seniors, had one last seri- ous decision to make before we formally left Wayne High School — should we throw our caps? It was typical of the class of 1 980 to consider it at all, despite the various lec- tures and letters that told us our caps were to remain on our heads at all times. Still, as good rebellious seniors, some caps flew. But through the years our rebellions went far beyond the regular fun, senior prank. We had a purpose, and we had unity. From the time we put our foot in the door of Wayne High School as its first senior high freshmen, we worked to prove that we were to be treated as high school equals. From the fight for a soccer team, through the reorganiza- tion of Student Council, to the recognition of Black Tuesday, we held together, recognizing our talent and our ability to move, grow, and change within our education. As a group, we learned to observe, judge, think, and act for our- seK Bu. s graduates, where do we go I t here? Our parents, relatives nd family friends are bursting with pride over our schooling achievement. Yet, we are baffled more and more each day as to the pre- dicament we now face. Where do we go? For almost thirteen years we have ridden a yellow bus to school, spent hours learning, ridden a yellow bus home, done homework, spent what time was left with friends from school, hailed summer vacation for three months, and then, started the whole cycle over again in Septem- ber. After all of this time of supposedly learning how to live and work once we got past high school, it is still puzzling as to what we actu- ally did learn. The answer lies not in what we learned, but in how we learned. A school is a society. A small society with leaders and followers, rules and disci- pline, friends and acquain- tances. We could not just attend school all those years and just ignore every rule, teacher, or classmate. We had to learn with and around them. We had to learn how to learn. In doing so, we often played with our toy society and experimented with it. And our class did its share of expe- rimenting. 30
