Seniors sometimes look back and realize that the classes they took didn ' t prepare them for college. CLUBS: are a lot of work. Whether it be going to state with the band or planning one of the many parties that Latin Club puts on each year, each per- son must put forth some effort. Everything that is done in clubs is done AFTER THE LAST BELL. SPORTS: the most important thing in many young people ' s lives. The football team broke a two year losing streak by pulverizing Elmhurst, defeating them unth a score of 36-6. There has been an influx of new coaches in the sports scene. Baseball, football, gym- nastics, and boys ' tennis all received new coaches this year. All of this was done JUST FOR THE RECORD. PEOPLE: includes EVERYTHING FROM A TO Z. There are a wide variety of personalities dotting the halls during the passing periods. There are the ' preppies, the headbangers, nerds, and the jocks. These groups make the most of everything for Wayne High School. COMMUNITY: they donate their money and buy advertisements, and in turn we frequent their busi- nesses often. Advertisers help with meeting the finan- cial needs of of our department. TITLE FACE A w iJ - - ' ' hat would you do if you could do it all over? Another school year has begun and we have decided to make the most of this year. Years have passed in our short lives and we look back and think, boy if I had that to do all over — it sure would be different. So this year we ' re ready, we are going to live our lives to the fullest. We are going to each day like it was our last day on earth. We are going to do the wildest things, wear the weirdest clothes, attend every func- tion that happens at Wayne tligh School, and be the most positive people we can be.

So we ' re ready to be- gin. But, it takes you. You get out of Wayne Migh School what you put into it. So it ' s up to you. Only you can make the most of your 1988 school year. by riiki Forbing During a pep session the senior class goes wild as Jennifer Collins and Jill Fitzharris show their spirit.

M akinq the most of the ' 88 year; back to the books It ' s hard to believe; I thought I was hearing things. Morning announce- ments, bells ringing, lock- ers slamming and kids laughing and talking on their way to class. These sounds make it official — school is back in session, no more all night talks on the phone, no more movie binges with your friends. It ' s time to think of books, homework, and extra credit — not the great time you had with your friends last night. Yes, school is back in session! It ' s time to get used to getting up at (gasp!) 6:30 in the morning to get ready for school. Deciding what to wear might take up most of the time for some people. Just the fact that you can ' t lounge around in your fa- was real- ly excited to come back this year be- cause I ' m a senior. — Jill ritzharris vorite T-shirt and cut-off sweats is enough to cause stress. But hey, going back to school isn ' t really that bad. Admit it, you were sort of looking forward to coming back, weren ' t you? Senior Jill Fitzharris was. I was really excited to come back this year because I ' m a sen- ior. It ' s the last year I ' ll be with my friends. We ' ve got to make the most out of our opportunities this year. The new IMclntosh computer in the publications depart- ment will help us to pro- duce the yearbooks and newspapers. Football, baseball, boys ' tennis, and gymnastics all received new coaches, and of course, there are always the new teachers and students. Wayne High School really has a lot to offer.

Students try to make the most out of every min- ute spent in the high school years. From the assemblies to pep sessions, and dances to club meetings — from putting time in on the Job to spending time working out. Students make the most of everything Wayne had to offer. From skateboa rding to BMXing and dance lessons to aerobics, Wayne students showed many of their talents out of the classroom. There were so many other things to do besides school work. Attending parties, ski trips and the annual Stratford trip preoccu- pied much of the spare time that Wayne students had to offer. OUT or YOLR SEATS Romance, intrigue and total chaos Fifteen minutes after the bell rings signaling that class has started, Mr. Stud walks in with lipstick smeared across his mouth. It ' s not too hard to imagine just what Stud was doing in the halls to make him late. But that is just one of the many things that go on in the halls of Wayne High School. The act of flirting is amaz- ingly increased and well taught in the hallways dur- ing the passing periods. When a guy borrows the hall pass to go to the rest rooftu why is it that he somehow ends up walking by the class that the girl who has a crush on him is in? Surely it ' s by pure coincidence. Or how about the girl who tries to be sly. She waits around D hall comers so she can ac- cidently bump into that guy she likes when he ' s on his way to English. But enough about hall romances. Gossip, yeah . . . That ' s what mainly goes on in the halls. 1 see a lot of good friends talking about cute guys, said sophomore Ann Savieo. Cute guys, the Looking at the latest issue of the Dispatch, sophomore Keli Mertz readies to enter her locker for the fourth time today.

There are those students that are eating Burger Dairy dough- nuts, those that are writing on their best friends lock- ers, and those couples that are making up for lost time (seeing how they haven ' t seen each other since last night). Oops, there are those dang romances again. There are some students, however, that spend their five minutes of free hall passing time to talk to their teachers. Yes, it is possible to communicate with a teacher out of class. Taking a stroll down senior hall en- ables people to see what creativity halls have to of- fer. You can always tell when a school sport is do- ing well because the hallways vAU be dec- orated with signs. It was great dur- ing football season. I ' ve never seen the school so decorated. There were posters on every wall, said senior Ann Stouder. Mrs. Morgan adds, One day 1 saw some kid pull one of Mr. Sawyers red streamers down off the ceil- ing. Sawyer saw him too. Boy, 1 thought that kid was going to see his everlast- ing! Sophomore Dave Morris summed up very well with two words what he saw in the halls, Massive chaos. A n TflE h.ALLS Hot off the press.

A J0 REQISTRATIOn Soaps end ' s school begins The envelope arrives in the mail, thick vAth registra- tion papers. A word that hasn ' t entered your mind since June suddenly ap- pears in big, bold letters. SCHOOL. Your first reac- tion is Yuck!! But the more you think about it, registration doesn ' t seem so bad. Let ' s face it, where else can you catch up on all of the best summer gossip? Juicy dirt on who had what parties makes registration dowmright fun. Better yet, you can catch up on old news with old friends that you lost touch with over the summer and check out all of the new guys (or girls) at school this year. Registration went much faster this year than last year, said senior Kyle Roe. Senior Steve Read com- mented, We don ' t have to put up with all of the stuff underclassmen do. When you ' re a senior you get away with more! Well, it ' s time to go back to school. Registration al- ways makes that official. We ' ll just have to wonder if Victor and niki get a divorce and if she ' s really in remis- sion. Will Ashley go back to Victor or is she falling in love with her psychiatrist? Is nina pregnant with Phil- lip ' s child? riot only are we worried about all this, but what about Erica — w she have Travis ' baby, and will Jesse and Angle finally realize that they are made for each other regardless of the fact that Angle is magna cum laude and Jesse is a street hood. Love always prevails. When you ' re a senior you get away with a lot more. Steve Read Will rioell and Jeremy ever get together; or after he finds out that she is truly Silver Kane, Erica ' s sister, will he still love her? Hard to believe this garbage kept us occupied the whole sum- mer. Boy, now that 1 look back at my sad, empty life; filled with soap opera tur- moil, I ' m already to sign up for classes, pick up my ID and order my yearbook and newspaper. Try to hold me back. After all, why else would they invent VCR ' s?? by niki forbing At the final stage of registration junior Duane Waterman reaches in his poci et for his wallet to pay all his upcoming dues for the 87-88 school year. Mrs. Nurrill along with Diane Reese are glad to take his money. REQISTRATIOri A Spending time witii someone special The colorful pink, gray, red and white decorations set the mood for the enjoy- able evening of dance, re- freshments, entertainment and fun. Also, helium bal- loons were arranged nicely around the dance floor and at the entrance area. On Saturday, February 13, the third annual Sweet- heart Ball, sponsored by the French Club, took place in the commons area from 8:30 p.m. until 11:30 p.m. Many couples danced the night away with music pro- vided by Doctor Feelgood. There was some good and bad music played, but you ' ll find that at any dance you go to, said senior Tara Fox. In addition to the DJ, a quartet made up of seniors Dave Orr and Doug Bilby, junior Matt Elder, and sophomore Bill Byers, per- formed a variety of song to make the evening more spectacular. This year the coronation was held a little differently. When couples entered the dance, they were asked to sign their names on their The highlight of the evening came when the coronation of Sweetheart Ball King Roger Aker and Queen Regina Adams were crowned. A ticket so that they would be eligible to be on the court. Later that night names were drawn for the court. This year each class had their own classification. The winners were as follows Lord and Lady, freshmen Bill Lawrence and Amy Huff- man; Duke and Dutchess, Coronation was different and pretty much surpris- ing. Rekaya Gibson sophomores John Wolfe and Kay Springer; Prince and Princess, juniors Matt Crow and riiki Forbing; and for the senior class, the King and Queen were Roger Akex and Regina Adams. Coronation was different and pretty much surprising, but at least everyone had the opportunity to win, said senior Rekaya Gibson. This year ' s Sweetheart Ball was bigger and better than last year ' s, thanks to the many French club par- ticipants. Three years ago the Publications Depart- ment decided that Wayne had no traditions, so they gave it one and had the first annual Sweetheart Ball ever. But the mold was set and having started the ball rolling. Pub backed out and the second annual Ball was by the French and Latin clubs. It went off a little better than the first, because more people at- tended. This year ' s Ball was a great success, giving Wayne the tradition that Pub decided Wayne was lacking, by Rekaya Gibson SUEETMEARTS BALL Bill Lawrence and Amy Huffman share a dance at the Ball, fresh- men to seniors attended the annu- al event.

Irish Harring- ton receives a congratulatory hug from freshman court member Jen- nifer Hansen Virgin spirit overwlielms the Generals Grass skirts, bermudas, leis, and the smell of sun- tan oil were filtrating through the hallways sym- bolizing the beginning of Wayne ' s annual Spirit Week. Everyone truly showed their school spirit throughout the entire week, exclaimed junior Stacy Miller, ' and 1 think the fans ' enthusiasm and support helped encourage the football team to play a tough game against Concordia. This particular enthusi- asm began on Monday as many individuals showed their spirit by sporting their unique ideas of the ulti- mate Hawaiian look. Hawaiian day gave us a chance to sport our shorts and really show the football team we were behind them, ' said junior Piiki Forbing. This spirit also continued on Tuesday when virtually everyone wore some type of clothing that complement- ed the 50 ' s and 60s. Every- thing from leather Jackets to penny loafers were evi- dent on this day, and ii -any even admitted they robbed their parents closet to p - pare for this highly memo- rable day. Although much thought and time went into prepar- ing the proper attire for the past two days, Wednesday ' s dress had been planned for the past two weeks by every girls on the Powder Puff football team. The juniors wore their blue jerseys and the seniors wore the tradi- tional red ones. Everyone truly showed their school spirit throughout the entire week f f Stacy Miller It was kinda hard to talk to your friends if you were in blue and them in red, but it was all in good fun, said junior Kim Bragalone. Thursday, everyone truly went crazy and on Friday the students really showed their school spirit and wore red and blue. The highlight of Home- coming week was the crowning of Trish Harring- ton as the Homecoming queen of 1987, other mem- bers of the court included freshmen Hicki Manny, Jen- nifer Hansen, sophomores Kay Springer, Tabi Burgo, juniors Caralee Gregory, Jill Elliott, and senior Sandy Tsiguloff, Michelle Aldred, Tara Warfield, and Amy na- gel. During the crowing, the Student Council let off bal- loons as the half-time spec- tacular. The annual fire- works display was not held this year be- cause too much Coun- cil money was spent on them last year. by Stacy Sorg 1 HOMECOMIMQ Going over his next play witti his quarterback, Senior Powder Puff coach Gene Houser discusses the maneuver wilh DeAnn Booth.

MOMECOMIMQ A This is what you call parent involvement Have you ever been glad to just escape home in the morning, and even school seemed better than facing your parents for one more minute? Some of Wayne ' s students leave home only to arrive at school in the morning and see their par- ents here. Some students enjoy the pleasure of hav- ing their parents as part of Wayne ' s faculty, office, or cafeteria workers. 1 really enjoy knowing that my mom is nearby in case 1 need something. The only way that her working here would bother me is if the kids didn ' t like her, said Kris Heidelberg. Mrs. Lynda Heidelberg has been a secretary at Wayne for seven years, and doesn ' t feel that her working here causes any bad feelings between her and her daughter. 1 feel that Kris and 1 have a good relationship, so my working here is a positive thing, said Mrs. Heidelberg. Many other parents work at Wayne also. Some of these include: Dr. Eugene White (father of Reggie White), Mrs. Joyce Thiele Looking over some of the band mementos secretary Louise Bren- del and her son Todd discuss the many events. Both Brendels are very active in Wayne s Blue Guard. (mother of Sheri Thiele), Mrs. Sandy Henry (mother of Tammy Henry), Mr. Jack Baker (father of Amie Bak- er), Mrs. Barbara Roe (mother of Kyle and Khrls- tian Roe), Mr. John Church- ward, (father of Jodi and Tony Churchward), and Mrs. Louise Brendel (moth- er of Todd Brendel).

Our success rate both in and out of the classroom has been a tre- mendous source of pride to us, and 1 am glad that my son has a chance to be a part of it, said principal Dr. Eugene White. Being the principal ' s son could have its advantages. Coming to school with dad at 7:00 am could be cited as a definite disadvantage. ' We moved into the Wayne district. 1 think Wayne is an alright school. I ' ve began to make friends here and that has helped me to like it better. Being the principal ' s son doesn ' t bother me, you just have to make sure that your friends like you for yourself, said Reggie White. by Jenni Coleman A 16 FAREHTS Being a freshman isn ' t always easy.

M T SEEM TO QRADLATE A The potato-head people, Steve Ridgeway and Kris Fanning dis- cuss Steves love of his life, who is pictured in today s newspaper. t €U ' Cast members wear several hats A new wave overpowered the drama department in the form of Al Peters. Peters chose to do Orchards as the fall play. Orchards, consisted of seven Russian playlets, full of variety. In the first piece Dan Schwartz portrayed Byelin- kov. Schwarts ponders over the question of whether or not to marry his fiance, Var- inka, played by Michelle Simmons. Most of the cast had more than one part, some small some large. Ann Stouder commented What made this play so different and unique was that it had a play for everyone. 1 felt that it was a good ex- perience for the ac- tors because of the constant changing of characters. The playlets offered parts for many peo- ple, but most of the parts were filled two or three times by the same cast members. With playlets, the actors can be in several different plays. Sophomore Chad Borden had three parts. Stouder portrayed the wife of the judge who had an awful case of diarrhea. She also flew across the stage with Borden In the story called The Talking Dog where they saw in their heads the reality of handgllding. Junior Angle Winters did a fine job as Smile, the MC of A Dopey Fairy Tale. Winters would like to pur- sue a theatre career, or at least minor In it, she com- mented. Rhonda Ridgeway attacked three parts that What made this play so different and unique was that it had a play for everyone. — Ann Stouder were totally different from each other, a harlot, an in- nocent mother (Baker), and a company clerk. During the play the audi- ence would laugh at parts of the plays that the cast didn ' t consider funny. Many of the costumes were outra- geous and the crowd couldn ' t help themselves. One great example is that of the three potato-people, including Steve Ridgeway, (Rhonda ' s brother) Kris Fanning, and Stephanie Steinman. Finally, the evening was wrapped up with a mono- logue by Erin Holston. Mol- ston gave the audience a feeling of the paranoia about her character. The monologue went for a half hour. The play was good, but there were some parts that I didn ' t under- stand, said Josh Forbing. I think a lot of people felt like that. Maybe it was too deep for a high school audience? by Erin Holston At the close of the play, Erin Hol- ston engrosses the audience uith her paranoia. Holston recited a thirty minute monologue. A strutting their stuff, Jermaine Lewis and Jackie Johnson model for the ' 87-88 Afro-American Tal- ent Sfiow. As the curtain rose, shouts of cheer and excite- ment filled the vast audito- rium. The audience anx- iously awaited the start of the second annual Afro- Heritage Club Talent Show. As the narrator an- nouncer. Angle Winters, waltzed onto the stage. The house lights dimmed, sym- bolizing the beginning of the play Club Uptown. In the first scene of the play, the audience is intro- duced to the leading ac- tress Dorothy, played by Keeya Chapman. In this scene, the audience is made aware of Dorothy ' s background. Dorothy is portrayed as a young girl, born and raised in Salville, Mississippi. Her father, played by Gary Kelly, was the preacher in the town of Saville, and felt his family should portray a very con- servative lifestyle. However, one day Dorothy ' s cousin Jasmine, played by Tome- kia Wilson, comes to visit her from Piew York City. His stories of the city in which he lived intrigued the inno- cent Dorothy. Jasmine asked Dorothy to return to new York with him. Dorothy accepted the offer, and be- gan her preparation for the trip ahead. Dorothy decided she needed a new wardrobe to fit in with the wealth and so- phistication Piew York City often implies. In this unique scene, various models glid- ed onto the stage, model- ing the latest Italian and Eu- ropean styles. The male models ' black and white tuxes dazzeled the audi- It was a place where new talent was recognized ' ' — Angie Winters city had to offer. There were papers on the street- corners, people dashing here and there, and night- clubs; which were the high- lights of everyone ' s day. After hearing about Club Uptown one day, Dorothy decided to visit the nightclub. The nightclub was not only a place to dance and have fun with one ' s friends, but it was also a place where new tal- ent was recognized and ap- preciated, said Winters. Since Dorothy was gifted with the art of singing, she decided to visit Club Up- town daily, hoping that someday her talent would be noticed. At the end of the play, Dorothy was no- ticed by Ruby, Club Up- town ' s owner, played by Re- Jane Rogers, and this event began her new life in riew York City. by Jill Fitzharris ence.

This is the second year for the Afro-American Talent Show. ArRO-.AMERIC.Ari TALEMT SHOW A Let them entertain you The weather ' s hot, the sun ' s burning, and the band is out in the middle of the parking lot doing their show. Many long and hard practices were held throughout the summer. It was all worth the sweat and tears to finally get the show completed, said freshman clarinet player, Stacey Woodside. Starting school meant practices after 2:35 and per- formances at the home football games and many competitions each week- end. Our scores grew and grew after each competition which made us feel good knowing our last perfor- mance was state, commented junior flag corps member, Ni- cole Lohman. This year the choreogra- pher for all the flag moves was Larry Medrano. He is from Milwaukee, Wisconsin with a background of mod- eling, dancing, and play act- ing, flag Captain, Laura Booher said ' Larry ' s show was hard, especially with such a young corps, but we worked together and pulled it off. The corps had several Holding the seventh place plaque from State competition Sharon Amick and Rodney Wilkinson stand proudly at one of the Wayne home football games. problems with the new uni- forms for the school song and basketball games. One of the major problems was that the corps ' uniforms re- sembled the cheerleaders ' uniforms. There was such a hassle with all the uniforms and I think that the cost of the uniforms was much too high for all the problems that evolved from buying It was worth the sweat and tears to finally get the show completed. — Stacy Woodside them, said Erinn Keller. Going to state for seniors was awesome to end their last year, for juniors it was something to set goals for next year, for sophomores it was being able to get it right this time, and for freshmen it was scary. The freshmen weren ' t the only ones scared, according to Keller. Once we walked out on to the field you just take a deep breath and hold on for dear life, said Keller. But once you ' re on the field, you go to work and do the best you can. This year the Blue Guard placed seventh, only one and four-tenths of a point away from second place. Mr. Rick Smith, the band di- rector, was very pleased with the show and our per- formance at state. Going to State again for the third year in a row was the best way to end my senior year, com- mented senior, Duane Waterman. The band bettered their standing from a ninth place for the past two years to seventh place this year. Some of the band mem- bers were upset because they thought they would place higher, but overall we ' re very proud, said sophomore band member Denardes Byrum. by riicole Lohman A ■r Celebrating a tie, the band and un- happ seniors run off the field. The annual powderpuff game ended in a 6-6 tie. A Can I sleep on it? Zonked during the ten minute breal , junior Chris- tian Roe plants his head in the pil- low to get a quick cat nap. Resting his tired feet, senior Scott Watkins takes a different approach of resting during his break. The dancers rested ten minutes for ev- ery hour of dancing. A DAMCE MARATMOn Good hearts lead to tired feet !:}ik. For a while, 1 was afraid that things weren ' t going to turn out; but once it got started, I had the best time. It was worth all the hard work! said Key Club Vice- President Susan Turner. The Key Club sponsored the first-ever 26 hour Dance Marathon. It started on a Friday night after the Con- cordia basketball game and ended the following Satur- day night, January 23, at midnight. A profit of ap- proximately $1400 was raised for charity. The top three couples that raised the most in sponsorship money received prizes. Kyle Roe and Stacy Sorg raised $475 to take first place honors. Sounds I provided the music for the Marathon. The D.J. ' s played every- thing from top 40 music to heavy metal to rap. On Sat- urday, for a change of pace, the couples were taught how to Square dance. Many had never even rolled the barrel ' or do si doed ' be- fore. Senior Brian Hansen commented, At first every- one was real hyper and ex- cited, but as the hours pro- gressed, everyone started to fizz out. I think the Square dancing really picked our spirits back up. How I ' m able to Polka! One dancer stated, The Square dancing was fun, but I was sure relieved when those breaks came around! Throughout the Mara- thon, there were many ' spe- 1 t At first everyone was real hyper and excited, but as tlie iiours progressed • • • XX — Brian Hansen cial hours ' in which the dancers got to dress up to a theme. Bill Schwartz and Christy Schmitt agreed that they ' had a blast! Having a Blast! was many dancers response to- wards the dance marathon, but there were many re- sponses as to being very tired, l iki Forbing de- scribed the evening as Fun and very tiring. Oh can we take a break now Please! begged Kris Byer- ley after many hours of dancing. Although the many dancers were tired they found the endurance to dance for the long twen- ty-six hours. Dressing up to the differ- ent themes was also an ex- citing part of the marathon. There were many people who hat into the groove of things during the Fifties hour. Dressing up and dancing to the songs from our parents past was really memorable. I love Fifties music, commented Jo- sette Simerman. The way the dressed and danced was so neat. Sometimes I wish I lived back then. Si- merman won the Fifties dress contest and won five free tanning sessions. Listening to the music, Allison Bullman and Erich Kennerk wait for the next song to play. The stu- dents agreed to dance for twenty- six hours for charity. DAnCE MARATMOM A ■ V isTubb5 Do jear a bid?

A 26 CHRISTMAS Wayne fights child abuse Every year Wayne High School takes on another Christmas Charity, last year it was Boy Scouts of Ameri- ca. About four weeks before Christmas, Friday, Novem- ber 13 to be exact, the Stu- dent Council invited out several representatives from different organizations around Fort Wayne and lis- tened to their presentations about their organizations. This year the Student Coun- cil chose SCAM (Stop Child Abuse and neglect). M think it ' s a very worthwhile organization. 1 think we all can understand the harmful effects of abuse. If our donating money to these people can help just a few children; it ' ll all seem worthwhile, said Student Council Vice-President Jill Fitzharris. For the final two weeks before Christmas break the Student Council elves came around everyday in third period to collect money. Some teachers made a con- :est out of it. Mr. Menden- nall sold donuts every noming, and the proceeds vent to SCAFi. Mr. Didier had a competition between the guys and girls.

Publications and DECA both donated $100 to the cause, and the Skills for Liv- ing classes raised money by selling happy grams and carnations. Everyone got think we all can understand the hannful effects. — Jill Fitzharris caught in the spirit. Mr. Or- nales was in charge of a drawing giving away prizes donated by many local businesses. Mrs. Mack and the Latin Club held their annual Slave Auction. It didn ' t go as well as past years. I think everyone is suffering this year. Toys for tots is also coming up short this year ' said Rekaya Gibson. But the Auction was still en- joyed. I look forward to the auction every year. It ' s one of the things that makes the holiday season speci ' Sl, said Paula Ritchhart. So on Friday, December 18 at 2 p.m. the moment all the students look forward to came.

Mrs. Jan Lipp ' s Advanced Food class worked many hours during school and before school; making the most of their culinary delights. The students enjoyed a tropical setting prepared by Mrs. Barb Thexton and her stu- dents. The students worked all day to prepare for the lunch. We had to be here at 7:30 a.m. to start cooking the lunch. But it was a great experience to get to see how the lunches are pre- pared and the best part was getting out of class, said Bob McPlamara. I think it ' s great that the people in foods class were so dedicat- ed. Getting up early and ar- riving at school is not an easy thing to do. I ' m sure many students and staff members appreciated it, said junior, Rebecca Kemp. The menu included many Hawaiian dishes. The main dish consisted of your choice of either Aloha pork, sweet-sour chicken or Latin Hawaiian chicken. The side dishes were fried hau laiki, stir-fried Malihini, Mala muf- fins and Hawaiian-tossed tropical salad with coconut milk. For desert, the stu- dents made Wickewicki pie and Hawaiian confetti cake. Everything was terrific, but my favorite part was the desserts. The Hawaiian confetti cake was excel- lent, said freshman Kim Oyer. Everything was fan- them, stated Ms. Donna Parker, giris ' dean. Lipp who organized the event stated, As difficult as the foods were to prepare, 1 was extremely proud of my students. I think they han- dled their task very well.

HAWAIIAM LLAL A Pan-Am performers housed at State Fairgrounds in Indy The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Selected Wayne band members were chosen to perform at the Pan-Am games held in Indy in August. It was a big thrill going to Indy and seeing all different people from around the world, said Dee Dee Kallmyer, and making a life long memory for myself. Walt Dis- ney designed the Pan-Am opening cere- mony costumes. The band members and band dancers were housed at Indi- ana State Fairgrounds along with Snider Band members (boys on one side giris on the other). We slept in ugly bunk- beds and 1 was teased because mine sunk down the most, stated Dena Embrey. The long hot days were spent practic- ing. Some days the heat was unbear- able, reaching as high as 107 degrees. The heat and humidity caused my pom-pons to melt right on the track, said Alison Streeter. After a long hard day the members would load up on a bus and return to the fairgrounds. Oh no, not the boxes again . . . , commented Todd Brendal. Each day the students received boxed lunches, which included a sandwich, fruit, and a bag of potato chips. Smiling for the camera, selected band members pose for a picture after their performance at the Pan-American Games in Indianapolis. Band mem- bers went to Indy three days early to practice for their big performance on August 8, 1987. a family affan Wayne Homecoming is an event for all ages and the bright young faces show n here are no exception. The fans, mostly families, alumni and students, are all here for the same reason; to watch foot- ball. Whether it be a five-year-old broth- er who cheers when the other team scores, or a 65-year-old grandma who doesn ' t cheer at all, everyone has a good time. Faculty who come to the games often make it a family event by bringing the whole family or just one of the kids. Mr. Don Merkler has been known to bring his family, as well as Mr. Bill Blosser. Mr. Tommy Hogan ' s twins are a common sight at the football games and Dr. Eugene White ' s daughter Kimmy even sometimes comes to the practices! So, as you can see, football may be a high school sport, but it is a game that people of all ages can and do enjoy. Go Generalsl People of all ages came to watch the Wayne Generals go up against the Concordia Cadets at the Homecoming football game. The Generals lost to the Cadets. Fixing a loose strap, Andi Kahru helps Tony Boutte with his shoulder pads. The Generals end- ed the season with a 7-6 record. Boutte named leading wstier Tony Boutte, one of the out- standing seniors on the football team was the leading rusher for the Generals this year, with a to- tal yardage in the 800-plus area. Although for the past three years Boutte hasn ' t been able to com- plete a season due to a dislocat- ed shoulder, he reall y came back to have a fantastic last year. It ' s a good way to end my sen- ior year, said Boutte. A 30 GLORY DAYS Mot only team members experience the pain As you can tell by these cold faces, it was a mighty cold night at the Semi-State championship football game against Hobart. The temperature was below freezing and many wore red trash bags to block the ice- cold wind. Although many fans came to watch the Generals in action, the Cin- drella team of 1987 could not hold out to the stronger and faster Brickie team and lost by a score of 42-3. Brrrl Its cold! Tim Raleigh stands up to get the circulation go- ing again at the semi-state football game at Hobart. FACTS — there are 122 clocks in the entire school — 106 students were absent on February 2, 1988 — Wayne held a 26 hour dance marathon for the first time, in 1988 — the football team won games in 1986 and turned around to win 7 games and the Regional champion- ship in 1987 — there are 641 girls and 668 boys attending Wayne this year Flaying tlie annual game It was a very interesting powderpuff game this year. The annual COE sponsored competition between the junior and senior girls didn ' t have a victor. This year ' s event held during Homecoming week ended in a 6-6 tie. The game went into overtime and each team received four downs to try to score, neither team scored so the game went into the record books as a tie. Even though the sen- iors were the stronger team, the junior girls never gave up. We were deter- mined not to let the seniors intimidate us. They said all week on the announce- ments how bad they were going to beat us. We were just happy not to let them have that satisfaction, said junior player Tracy McKee. next year the girls of ' 89 will have one more chance to take the Powder- puff Championship. These Anxiously awaiting the reCs deci- sion, Tracy McKee contemplates the next play of the powderpuff game. girls played in the fresh- man sophomore powder- puff team and then played again this year. Hopefully their two consecutive years of experience will give them the edge they will need to give them the win in 1988. GLORY DAYS A r r,. V ' J1 .m ,vo ■V0 ' Unique hobble brings together eight students This year at Wayne two students, DJ DeWitt and Joe Hall, were responsible for founding the Radio Con- trolled Car-Truck Club. This particular club is consid- ered unique, for it doesn ' t revolve around athletics. Instead, the club focuses on the hobby of eight stu- dents. Active members in- clude Ed King, Mike McCune, Greg Rockstroh, Randy Schreiber, Shawn Schreiber, Chris Sprow, and Hall and DeWitt. The club meets weekly to help individual members in- crease their racing abilities with their 1 10 scale elec- tric powerea radio con- trolled cars and trucks. Dur- ing the practice, individual members race through Wayne ' s upstairs halls. Ramps are also set up, challenging each car ' s en- durance and strength. Twice monthly, the mem- bers exhibit the skills they learned in practice by rac- ing their 1 10 scale off road vehicles at Summit Speed- way ' s indoor track. At the track, Wayne ' s Car-Truck members compete against Racing to the finish, Shawn Schweizer, Chris Sprow, and Qreg Rockstroh put their radio con- trolled vehicles to the test to see the best car win. The new club meets twice a month and is attract- ing many new members. Other individuals who share their same interest. When reflecting upon this experiment, the Car-Truck Club, one member admits that he believes the club will be an even bigger suc- cess in the years to come. T hope the club continues to grow, and 1 think it will considering the popularity it has already eamed. When asking Mr. Frank Mole, the sponsor of the Ra- dio-Control Club, how he felt the club was progress- ing he said, They ' re really attracting a lot of attention. I ' m starting to get so excit- ed about this, I ' d like to get a car for myself] Trying to find the missing link, Chad Winget and DJ DeWitt work together on one of their cars. Mr. Hole is sponsoring the new RC Club. A Getting their bodies in sttape for different reasons The obsession of building tiie body has swayed Wayne ' s student body into getting in shape. The sweat of the body, the struggle of achievement, and the pow- er of strength ail are the fac- tors of making a muscular body. Most of the guys who are Involved in the class are preparing for the next foot- ball season. The instructor for the class is the football coach Al Harants. Junior Jeff Carsten tells what the class consists of, We do squats, cleans, bench presses, and deadlifts. What about the girls that want to get rid of some pounds or firm some fat up? Are they expected to do the same squats, cleans, and bench presses as the guys or are they treated dif- ferently because they are girls? Some of the girls that entered the class have dif- ferent opinions, I like the class, but Mr. Harants pushes us to far like we are guys and 1 think he needs to understand that we are girls, said junior Carrie Colderbank. The giris do the same techniques as the guys in our class, but we don ' t lift as much weight. Flexing his muscles, Rob Kolpien poses for the camera before enter- ing the weight lifting room. Many football players take weight lifting class.

The Tracy Ullman Show Over the years Fink Floyd has become classic rock n roll. Their latest album is A Momentary Lapse of Reason. Married vs th kids? Married . . . with chil- dren. What kind of show is that? It ' s a show about two families (one with children, of course) that is always getting into one anothers ' business. There is the sweet, perfect just-got-mar- ried couple, and then there are the Bundy ' s. Al Bundy is an ignorant, laid-back-kind- of-a-guy that takes his wife for granted while his wife. Peg, just sits around and takes it. Their two spoiled children, Kelly and Bud, are always taking advantage of whatever they can get their hands on. The show is basi- cally patterned after the classic The Honeymoon- ers, and the problems that occur between the two fam- ilies are humorous. It is a different kind of show with the old slap stick humor that makes a nice break for television viewers. The hottest group in 1987 was U2. They toured Indy with The Bo Deans in Movember.

The TV networks were even eager to drop their soap op- eras and go live to Capitol Hill, no one could believe that the Reagan administration would back arms sales to the Iranians after it was proven that Iran had sponsored a bombing that killed more than 200 American soldiers. Following that bombing. Congress placed a ban on all CIA contact with military aid to the contras. This is what caused Director of CIA to go to Oliver North to run the secret war in Hicaragua. As a result North came into the National Security Council as an errand boy and ended up the most powerful Lieutenant Colonel in the worid. What- ever formal authority North was given, he was adept on expanding it. North would take a vaguely worded presi- dential finding and spell out the meaning of the finding in a memorandum of notification. By these means North was able to tailor the operation after his own designs. Lieutenant Colonel Oliver north testifies before tfie Senate Judiciary Committee in July. Oliver North became a household name, and before long bumper stickers were made — Ollie for President. The nation awaits rescue of 18-month old Jessica Even if one accepts North ' s rationalization that the arm sales helped to stop the spread of commu- nism, and to help free American hostages,- the arms sales were arousing bitter opposi- tion within our own government, and Con- gress would never have approved of them. In the end, when the dust settled. North came out look- ing and smelling like a rose. The majority of the American population thought he was innocent of any wrong doing. North ' s image was suddenly changed into that of a nation- al hero. It was about 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, October 14, 1987 that 18-month old Jessica McClure somehow slipped into an abandoned well shaft in Midland, Tex- as. The entire country held its breath as the 58-hour or- deal began. The police and paramed- ics were the first to arrive, lowering oxygen dovm to Baby Jessie. Then the heavy machinery moved in; first they used a backhoe, but when it hit rock, the people knew something tougher was needed. Next, a big rathole rig, something used to dig tele- phone poles was used to dig a parallel shaft. Finally, a hydro drill was used to clear the area under the baby. She was stuck in the shaft even longer for fear that bringing her out in a hurry might snap her spinal cord and kill her. After Jessica was finally removed from the shaft, she was strapped to a backboard. People along the ambulance ' s route lined the roads and cheered as Baby Jessica was taken to the hospital. — Robert Bork was a Reagan nominee for the Su- preme Court until he met the Senate approval com- mittee.

The General Award was given to those fresh- men, sophomores, andjun- iors having a 10.0 grade point average for the first three quarters of the year. The senior Honor and Gen- eral Awards were given to seniors having a 9.0 and 10.0 grade point average. The parents and students enjoyed the dessert prepared by the Advanced Foods class while being entertained by the Sensation Singers. The Singers performed a rather lengthy program, said senior honor student Joe Clayton. But 1 enjoyed it. The cafeteria was deco- rated in the traditional red and blue colors. The des- sert was delicious. Even Dr. White made the comme nt that we ' ve come a long way since bluejello, ' said Caro- line Paulison.

Lemer and Lowe ' s musical Came- lot was the first musical Wayne has done in six years since the 1982 pro- duction of Finian ' s Rain- bow. Only three shows were performed, Friday night, Saturday night, and Tues- day moming. The money made from the perfor- mances will help the dra- ma department for the great costs of a musical. Friday night, the sparsely populated audience gave the cast and crew a standing ovation. The cast pulled the play all together in the last week of rehears- al. As Chad Borden com- mented, ' At times we won- dered if it was ever gonna go up, but in the final week, the magic of Camelot came alive! A younger and new cast stole the stage as sopho- more Chad Borden and freshman Alison Streeter sang w th their experienced voices as King Arthur and Quenevere. Another under- classman, sophomore bill Biers, portrayed a convinc- ing Lancelot. The rest of the cast consisted of a few alumnus of the Wayne stage, but mostly were first W e glis- tened and we glittered ' ' — Mrs. Bartkiewicz time participants who ex- posed their musical talent. The set for the musical was the best set Wayne may have seen in years. Mr. John Piatt and his stage- craft classes began working on it in October and fin- ished just a few days be- forehand. It ' s not a com- plicated set. There are just a lot of scene changes, Piatt explained. Me re- searched the 11th Century time period v ith his stu- dents to find the correct costumes and props for the play. Mrs. Helen Bunnell and the cast ' s parents supplied many of the costumes with their sewing machines. Also, the Advanced Foods classes put on a Medievel Dinner before the perfor- mance Friday night as their supporters were entertained by gymnasts, a jug- gler, and Merlyn (Rodney Wilkinson) the magician. Many other teachers at Wayne helped and support- ed as the cast and crew brought together a splen- did performance. by Erin Holston Although captivated by their se- cret love, queen Quenevere (Ali- son Streeter) tells Lancelot (Bill Bier) she could never leave King Arthur. A o Harrington, Hansen take crowns Silver streamers, teal bal- loons, candlelight, and beautiful flowers were sev- eral items that made the 1988 Junior-Senior Prom unforgettable. 1 had a great time espe- cially since there was more room to dance, more ta- bles, and more decorations which added class to the surroundings, said Heath- er Leamon. A Wayne tradition, how- ever, was broken this year by having a disc jockey pro- vide the musical entertain- ment for the evening. It was a lovely evening. Ev- eryone looked so nice, and seemed happy to be there, said Ali riagel. The senior class voted unanimously for a D.J. to replace the sound of a live band, and this seemed to be a success. The D.J. is definitely the way to go, commented Bri- an Hansen, riot only was the music a success, but the coronation of King and Queen brought tremen- dous excitement and cheer to the crowd.

Stacey Phillips and her date JefF Stier went to din- ner at Lambro ' s. Our res- ervations at Club O were cancelled because of the re- cent outbreak of what they thought to be food poison- ing, but it turned out to be a virus, said Phillips. Mr. Piatt was a big help with the decorations. He really did all of it, said Phillips. Piatt made all of the flower arrangements, several wooden boats, and also drew up the designs for the invitations and memory books. All this creative thinking made for a grand evening. The food was catered by IPFW and the dancers would take breaks, sip punch and enjoy conversations. We talked about everything from this weekend ' s base- ball game to the gorgeous gowns.

Many Wayne students continue in their third year of math when they are on a college preparatory course or when they are just interested in the business field. A variety of math, business, and computer courses are offered at Wayne. The students taking the computer classes enjoy being able to work with the computers everyday and avoiding the dread of monotonous hour-long lectures. Junior Dave Seifert is interested in the growing computer field, Computer class just teaches you how to make your own programs for the different needs you may have.

The majority of students at Wayne have taken or will take at least one year of a foreign language. Wayne offers four different languages. They include French, German, Spanish, and Latin. Many teachers use dialogues, filmstrips, and games to help develop the student skills. Sophomore Jenny Layson commented on Mrs. Rosie Blessing ' s methods, She has a different way of teaching. She likes to use visual effects, including filmstrips and slides of her French vacations. We learn more about the culture than the language itself. Learn- ing about the country ' s culture is a big part of what you learn in any foreign language. Blessing also has her classes sing many French songs. Third-year French student, Michelle Meyer said, When we sing songs in French class Mrs. Blessing always snaps her fingers and sways back and forth. It about drives me crazy! German teacher Mr. Lowell Shearer also uses music as a part of his class. He often sings songs and plays the guitar for his students. They also play various German games. The best days in German class are when we have free days and he lets us play German Scrabble and Bingo, stated junior Tammy Schmidtke. Mr. John Septer, first-year Spanish teacher, often livens up his class by telling jokes, Me tells us stupid jokes that have nothing to do with Spanish, but it is nice to get away from the subject for awhile, stated an anonymous sophomore. After all the fun is through, Septer makes his class get dovm to work by reciting translations and dialogues. Freshman Cassie Schlie commented, It ' s real embarrassing when you have to recite something that you just leamed fifteen minutes ago. Mr. Don Merkler, another Spanish teacher, also lightens the work load by playing Trivial Pursuit in Spanish. Every day he makes one person from each class sit at his desk and answer questions asked by the other students. Merkler seems to enjoy this, but the victim usually does not. Latin teacher, Mrs. Mack, also tries to make her class as enjoyable as she can. Junior Wendy Smith said, Once a month, we have Festas, or parties, and everybody brings in something to eat.

Reggie White chieving the proper attitude Making the most out of the curriculum at Wayne is one of the most important things the teachers and administrators have to do. Some classes are mandatory — others are eiectives. The Home Economics Department saw a mandatory class added to its sched- ule this year for sophomores, called Skills for Living. The class focuses on helping students acquire self-discipline, responsibility, good judgement, and an ability to get along with themselves and others. Doesn ' t that sound like it came right out of a text- book? Some of the students enjoy the class, but there is a minority that doesn ' t like to share what they see as personal things. The skills 1 have learned in class can help me prepare for future friendships, said Reggie White. Many students enjoy this class because it revolves around class participation and discussion. Although students are required to participate, they do have the right to pass on participating in any discussion that is too personal. It ' s not always easy to open up in front of strangers, said one student. But it is getting easier as the semester goes on. Some of the activities performed in the class are creating personal refections note- book, mini-lectures, playing charades, and skills rehearsal. 1 usually enjoyed writing in my joumal. I guess it ' s because 1 enjoy writing. Sometimes when 1 was angry about something this really helped, said Mike Van Olden. 1 just got all my frustrations out into the open. Then in writing down my problem, it didn ' t seem so big after all. A few of the requirements for Skills for Living are class attendance, participation, unit projects, and self-evaluation. Attendance is very important because the classroom activi- ties and discussions are a large part of the semester grade. Because there are so few homework assignments, class participation is even more important. One project per unit is required for this class. Projects can range from family involvement to special academic projects to community service. One of the most fun assignments for the students was to send telegrams to friends, family, and teachers telling them how much they appreciated them. We don ' t do that often enough, said Helen Bunnell, one of the teachers of this special class. 1 love getting to know the students in a very positive way. I ' m getting to see personal growth. I appreciate feeling excited about coming to school and doing something new and different. Helping Bunnell teach the several sections of sophomores this year is Mrs. Jan Lipp and Mrs. Jan McDannell. Mrs. McDannell is so up all the time. I could see why students would enjoy the Skills class, said Kim Bragalone. «V Rats, I broke a nail, said Emily Rogers, a two year Home Ec stu- dent. Most students after taking one year of Home Ec come back for another to learn more. Fixing her assignment, Paulina Williams looks to see what she is doing wrong. Home Ec is a class where students can get together to work on their projects and use their own talents to create something unusual. HOME ECONOMICS uttin ' in the time Studying. The one word all of us dread, no matter how much we hate it, it has to be done. Most of us have six solid subjects that we are taking all through our high school years. Since most of our teachers seem to have an urge to grade tons and tons of homework, we are all required to find some way in which to keep up with the demands our teacher put on us. Studying can be done almost anywhere. On a bed, at a desk, on the floor, and even in a closet are some of the many ways that students study. The traditional way of studying is at a desk or the dining room table. If a person studies the same way all of the time, studying can get to be even more dull and boring than it already is. Some Wayne students prefer an unusual way to study. The floor is so hard to sit on, so 1 sit on a pillow. It makes it much softer! Other times 1 do my best studying in the laundry room waiting for the wash to get done, says junior Keo Homsab. Most students agree, studying is easiest when you are comfortable. Randy Schrieber and Pam Warren both agree that studying is much easier when the radio or the T.V. are on. Other students are not as flexible. Sophomore Chad Borden is a good example of a person who does a lot of studying. Since he does so much homework, the way he studies varies from subject to subject. 1 can only have the radio on while studying math or chemistry. For English, I need complete silence. Although Borden is extremely busy, he always seems to find time for his homework, whether it is in the car or in the dressing room. So whatever your style of studying Is, whether it ' s at a table or in the laundry room, try to make the best of it. All of your hard work will pay off in the end. by: Jeanne Hawkins Sheri Leigh Kathy niedzwiecki Cramming before a test, senior Sherri Thurber waits until the last minute to study for government.

Most of us end up dropping and breaking a slide, or complete a drawing of a protozoa only to find you ' ve focused on an air bubble. Big deal! It could happen to anyone, right? Of course there is always that lucky devil who really catches the attention of the class. This particular fellow had the opportunity to break an estimated $300 microscope, and jumped at the chance. Tt was so quiet, and then everyone burst out laughing! 1 didn ' t think I was going to make it to the bathroom! says Erica Purkiser, a witness to this event. Earth Science gives the experience of working in the planetarium which also poses as a peaceful scene with the sky above and a cushioned chair. The perfect opportunity to snooze.

I think it ' s a good idea for every- one to know how the economy works, it helped me, even though it wasn ' t the funniest class in the world, commented senior Jill Fitzharris. Your basic history classes divide the students into two classes,- the ones who like history, and the ones who don ' t. Many of Wayne ' s students find the American classes very interesting to know about. Other ' s enjoy the sleeping time. Junior Lisa Reyes is currently in an Honors History course and although she admits it is not a cinch. It ' s neat to see how our country was formed, the past just connects to the present and it ' s weird to think that the American Constitution has been around for 200 years. Other students enjoy the class because they don ' t have to devote all their late night studying time to it. Government, economics and U.S. History are all important classes in the education of American students. As Dan Schwartz replied, It reforms you on the processes of our country ' s government. Government of a country is important, because it affects each and every person. Like, in turn, they can also affect America ' s democracy. The 200 year celebration of the United States Constitution was celebrated in 1987. A few of Wayne ' s teachers assigned essays for a contest summing up the influence of the Constitution. An important decision was made the Hazelwood case. It affects the high school newspapers. Mow, the principal of every shcool has the legal right to censor the papers. Although this is upsetting to most students they are learning to live with the changing American government.

Amy Stouder frowns for the photographer in Mrs. Barb Lawrences Sophomore class. Glancing over their notes, Sharri Thurber and Shannon McCune prepare for Mr. John Sawyers big literature final. pdating the department One of the most important classes offered in high school is English. Mot only do you need English to get by in everyday life, but once you get past the stuffiness of Shakespeare, it turns out to be not quite as bad as everyone assumes. When one thinks of English it is usually accompanied with a great, big yawn: Total boredom, right? It ' s amazing what an English teacher can pull out of a simple story, seemingly about nothing important. The symbolic meaning of certain things can link an ancient novel written by Shakespeare in the 1700 ' s, or a poem by Richard Frost to some of the issues presented in the 1980 ' s. English isn ' t just literature, as well as we all know, grammar also plays a major role in everyday life. When you go for that big job interview and you can ' t even speak in complete sentences, how far will you get? Obviously, not far at all. This year the English Department received 32 Apple 2QS ' and eight new printers that will not be in full use until the 1988-1989 school year. The computers will be used most frequently by the Basic and Essentials English classes to help them with their compre- hension, retension, and speed reading skills. Academic and Honors English classes will not spend as much class time in the computer lab, however it vAW be open for them to use. At this point, the computers are to be used only for reading and writing skills. However, Mr. Ray Bishop would like to see logic and critical thinking programs become available to students as they complete their assignments. We ' re just real glad, and thankful to have them. The possibilities are endless. We hope to use all three of the Apple features, graphics, sound and the mouse.

Hammering away is what you would find students doing if you entered the Metals room. The overwhelming odor of oil and loud sounds of machines encompass the whole working area. For many, the Industrial Arts classes are a welcome break from the daily chore of attending their required subjects. Others find that these classes are a much needed step for them on the way to their careers. Metals requirements include learning how to use the band saw, gas welder, arc welder, and lathe. These machines and others are then used by students making hammers, clamps, and sandcasting molds. The metals class has given me the hands on training and the experience that I ' ll need to get started in my chosen career, said sophomore Brian Frater. The Graphic Arts department is always kept busy by the amount of things the office and athletics department has for them to do. In addition to the three required projects the students must complete, curriculum guides, play programs, ISSMA programs, and both basketball and football programs are done by those who strive for extra credit. T took Graphic Arts mainly as a blow-off class, but it has turned out to be really fun. 1 like being able to work at my own pace on the projects too, said Jerry Fell.

Al- thoug h many small projects are assigned and completed daily, the biggest project, one which uses all of the students ' newly learned skills, is one that combines magazine ads, TV and radio commercials, and copy for a product that is left up to the students ' imagination. Basic journalism gives us a taste of most everything you can do in the joumalism field, from television broadcasting to editing copy for the school newspaper, said sophomore Mike VanOlden. 1 like it because it ' s sort of a break from regular schoolwork, said Junior Chris Doak. However it ' s not all fun and games. There are many projects that have to be completed as well as stories that the students write for the yearbook or newspaper. One of the major concerns that is discussed in the joumalism class is the Supreme Court decision in the Hazelwood case. Its ' decision was that the principal has the final say about what it printed in the school newspaper, the Supreme Court ruled that the principal has the power to censor. 1 feel that this decision will have the biggest effect on small-town high schools where the principal has a larger influence on the students, said joumalism advisor LeeAnn Mart-Moover. In March the class will travel to the Fort Wayne newspaper for a tour through the Journal-Gazette and the riews-Sentinal. I ' ve always wondered how it all works, and how they do it so quickly just ovemight, replies Lola Trammel. The students encountered the Joumalism Opportunities day at IPFW in September. Many topics were offered in the variety of four 45 minute sessions. A few of the favorites were First Amendment Rights , newspaper Cartooning , and TV Sports Coverage with anchorman Fred Beck. Another chance the students got as a change of pace was the J-Day in Muncie at Ball State University.

This is the first year for Wayne ' s riHS chapter, and being so, the induction ceremony and the bi-monthly meetings were held pretty much by the book. Vice-President, Matt Elder, had several ideas for changes in next year ' s induction ceremony. We ' d like to create our own procession of receiving the pin, signing the book and obtaining the membership cards, and walking back to our seats. Of course the four traditional passages will be read by the students themselves. Along with being a junior or a senior, maintaining a 9.0 grade point average, and participating in school activities, each member must be involved in at least one commu- nity service project during the year. Several members participated in a tutoring program set up with Qeyer and Miami middle schools. A Read-a-thon, the only fundraiser held this year, raised enough money to purchase an official national Honor Society flag. We didn ' t plan a lot of activities, it was more of a building year, stated President Paula Ritchhart.

Scott xperimenting with art Some of the wonders of the world can be found right here in Wayne ' s very own art department. Many of the students participating in the art program here enjoy making and displaying various types of art forms. Heidi Scott, a senior this year, displayed some of her own art at the Blue Mountain Cafe downtown on the landing. In February, the class participated in the Scholastic Arts contest which is a national contest, and in March they displayed their art at the main library, downtown. Ms. Barbara Thexton ' s art classes enjoy experimenting with various types of art forms such as fold-over paintings, print making in various styles, painting murals on the H-wing walls, sculptures made of plaster, and papier mache. Many of the students involved in the art classes say it gives them a chance to express their own style of art without receiving a lot of critisism from other students or teachers. Being in an art or stagecrafting class takes more than just having talent and a steady hand, it also takes a great deal of responsibility. In a first year of stagecrafts art classes, the students learn discipline and the basics of drawing. They start out with drawing lines! line profiles, and landscaping which eventually leads up to more advanced skills of the second year classes. During a student ' s senior year, they can become involved in the independent arts program. This class is currently decorating the H-wing walls with various types of collages and paintings. Scott, an independent student, said ' If you want to get Into a independent class, you have to be a responsible person and don ' t try to blow art class off as just another class. Scott is doing her own painting in H hall, she says it takes a lot of her after school time, but she likes what she ' s doing. Another student at Wayne, Chris Doctor, is working on a painting of an Old English street lamp at the beginning of H hall. She plans to call it Harmony Hall. Thexton ' s fouri:h period class also entered this year ' s Scholastic Arts Contest, Won- ders of the Worid. This year ' s contest was mainly focused on poster art. Doug Bilby was the only winner this year from Wayne, although the other contestants should be credited for their time and effort. Every year, Mr. John Piatt and Thexton ' s Arts and Crafts classes help the prom committee out by making most of the decorations for the junior senior prom. By doing this, it saves the junior class valuable money that can be put to use for another prom expense. This year was no exception. by Tammy Schmidtke Finishing up his drawing, Ira Moore, along with his other class- mates, work on their artwork in Mr. Piatt ' s class.

For many students, the Distributive Education of America (DECA) offers students a chance at a head start.

Senior Tina Gaunt who works at Kroger through the DECA program said, T feel lucky to be a part of DECA. Sometimes you do have to give up things, such as clubs, but all in all 1 feel as if I have accomplished something by being good at my job. Others feel as if DECA is a stepping stone to their goals in life after high school. Being involved in DECA has taught me a great deal.

Two of the things that the members of Key Club look forward to annually are the visits to the Lutheran Hos- pital and the Key Club Dis- trict Convention. Every year the members dress up in halloween costumes and give candy to the children that have to stay in the hos- pital over the holiday.

Within the last two years, members of GADD have gone to various elementary schools, for the DARE program, to talk to the young students and help prepare them for what to expect in middle school and high school. Most children think that when they enter middle school, drugs will be shoved down their throats. Then on the other hand, deep down they don ' t think that drugs will ever be of- fered to them.

Wrong — although it may look and sound easy, many hours are spent in practice each week, just to give the impression that it ' s really not that hard. A usual prac- tice can last as long as an hour and forty-five minutes. When choreographer Larry Medrano comes dovm from Wisconsin, practice takes up an entire day, usually lasting for eight hours! The long practices are tough, but they really help us to improve, said Ann Savieo. But, as they say, practice makes perfect! All of their practicing has paid off. The Singers performed at the spring concert, at the annu- al honors ' desert, and for five days during spring break they traveled to Flori- da to perform in Dis- neyworld. 1 had a blast while we were there, but 1 think I have to say that the bus ride was the best!

Although the group is starting to run more smoothly, quite a few changes have been made since the beginning of the year. The biggest, and most important, was that Betty I cKee left Wayne to teach at I orthside, leaving be- hind a teacherless choir. A week before school started, Pat Kennedy stepped in as the new choir director. The group really had to pull together and help each other through the changes this year, said two-year member Chris Fumo.

SIMOERS When we walked into a foreign language room, it seemed as though we had just entered a different country, either France, Ger- many, Mexico, or even an- cient Greece. French, otherwise known as the language of love, was studied by many students this year. In fact, there were so many advanced students signed up to take French 5 and 6 that there were many conflicting schedules, such as with band and journal- ism. The alternative sug- gestion was to put these few students whose schedules posed a problem into a sec- ond year class and have Mrs. Blessing teach both groups on a separate level.

Sophomores Amy Stouder and Bill Ritchhart both said, ' Yeah, we ' ll probably go depending on if we take Latin next year or not. Venturing out of ancient Greece and into Mexico, otherwise known as the Spanish room with Mr. Merkler, we found students busily gabbing in Spanish, and counting tons of mon- ey.

We have bowlers ranging from an 83 average all the way up to 187. With a handicap system used by the club, even the teams udth the lowest aver- ages are capable of wan- ning.

But then it ven- tured on to the basketball season and they STILL didn ' t perform any mounts. The reason they did not do any mounts this year is because of the new rules set by FWCS. The cheer- leaders have had different thoughts about the new rules being enacted. FWCS decided that no mounts or any stunt where a cheer- leader is being supported off the ground were to be done. Most of the cheer- leaders did not like the idea of no MOUnTS because it took away their main in- volvement.

Student Council Vice President Jill Fitzharris talks with sophomore Curtis Collins and jun- ior Stacy Miller. Council members Beginning the year a little differently, the Student Council started off with a leadership workshop. Mr. Frank Mouk was the main speaker at Camp Potawat- tami in Northern Indiana. He tried to reach the point that in Council, one per- son ' s opinion is as impor- tant as another person ' s opinion. Listen to the oth- er student ' s and what they have to say, remarked Houk. One of the work- shop ' s activities was to put a blindfold on someone and let another student lead them around to test their leadership. The twen- ty students that attended, enjoyed getting to know each other at the beginning of the year. Another change this year was the decision not to have firewof s at Home- coming. ' The budget was too tight, but 1 nk it went well without the stated Vice President Jill Fitzhar- ris. The balloons in their place saved Council close to five hundred dollars. The Christmas Project that the Council attacks each year went to its best in ' 87.

In Original Oratory, the con- testant vmtes and memo- rizes an original speech of eight to ten minutes in length. Original Interpreta- tion includes the interpret- ing of a famous speech by the contestant, and Duo in- cludes the acting out of a skit by two contestants.

In Regionals, Angle Winters took sixth place uath her in- terpretation of Elephant Man, and was an alternate to state, along with Gary Kelly and ReJane Rogers who took sixth place in Duo with their cutting of A Rai- sin in the Sun.

These students and past members must be in the top ten percent of their class, be recommended by their advisor, and have out- standing work in journal- ism. This honorary journal- istic club gives Wayne ' s publication students, like other students across the country, the opportunity to be recognized and honored nationally for their work, not just locally.

After completing a journalism course a student can be inducted into Quill Scroll. Manor (also known as Mr. Peter ' s house). The members can do what they wish, writing about any topic they please. Peters encourages keeping journals, to keep in practice of writing on an everyday basis. like the club because I ' m interested in writing and it gives me a reason to write, with the help of Mr. Peters, commented junior writer, Rhonda Ridgeway. She has been motivated by the club, vmting three sto- ries already. Two student ' s stories or poetry wnll be entered in a contest from FiCTE (nation- al Council for Teachers of English). Another contest is through Purdue University in Lafayette, where the number of students enter- ing is not limited.

Two new coaches entered the picture. This year the Wayne boys tennis team was led by two new coaches, Don Merkler and Bob Fox. Merkler gave up coaching baseball and Fox is no longer the coach of girls basketball this sea- son. Wayne didn ' t have an im- pressive season. But with new coaches the team did as well as a new system can do in its beginning. 1 think they had the best players in the positions they should have been in, said senior doubles player Gene Hous- er. The tennis season turned out to be a disappointing one for the Generals as they went wnnless in their first six matches, Bellmont (1-4), Snider (0-5), Concor- dia (1-4), Huntington (2-3), North Side (1-4), and Bish- op Dwenger (0-5). Wayne then went on to wnn three of their next four matches by beating Elmhurst, Harding, and South Adams. From then on it went downhill. In the past years some awesome foreign exchange students have participated in Wayne tennis. This year Marcus Mueller was the only exchange student helping the cause. The Generals won their first sectional match against Columbia City (4- 1), but went on to lose to riorwell (1-4). The Wayne Generals were led by junior Mark Werling at number two singles and senior Gene Houser and junior Jim Bow- man at number two dou- bles, number one singles for the Generals was senior Mike Steiner (1-15), and at number one doubles, sen- iors Todd Soucie and Brian Clements (4-7). Werling posted a (9-7) record as Houser and Bowman post- ed an (8-8) record. The Generals had a rough season as shown by their record that ended with four wins and eleven losses, and a SAC record of two and seven. The tennis team is looking for a better season next year, with three players retuming, jun- iors Mark Werling and Jim Bowman, and sophomore Scott Melton. 1 think the returning players will perform to the best of their ability, and should do much better, said senior Steiner.

At least that is what people thought about Wayne ' s football team be- fore they Started their 1987 season. Not only did the Generals do better than in the past four years, but they also posted a 3-5 SAC sea- son record and a first time win in Sectionals. Terry Washington scored the first touchdown of the season within the first 10 seconds of the opening During the annual Homecoming game against Concordia, the quar- terback awaits the snap from the center, junior Steve Gause.

The Generals went on to beat the Trojans 31-6. Tt was a much needed win for us, showing us that all we had to do was know how to win, said Bill Schwartz. The Generals later went on to beat Harding 19-6, which gave them a 2-1 start, their first loss came fi-om former state runner-up Snider, however, the Gener- als went on a landslide dropping their next three decisions. They won their next game against South Side 14-13. In Sectional play, they were the underdogs against undefeated and state- ranked riew Haven, which was coming off one of their best seasons ever. Tt was a very important game for us to prove that we are better than our record shows, stated Rob Kolpien This was our best performance of the year, as the Gener- als defeated the New Haven Bulldogs 26-0. The almighty Generals never stopped there. After defeating riew Haven they went to Decatur to take on the Braves of Bellmont. The game was a very important one, because that is where Harants coached last sea- son. From the opening kick- off the Generals took charge of the action defeat- ing them 21-17. The key play was a 49 yard touch- down pass from sopho- more quarterback Damion Wilkins to senior wide-re- ceiver Rick Meek with time running out. The heroic season didn ' t end there. The Generals played host to SAC rival the South Side Archers, which Wayne beat in a SAC mat- chup early in the year. Wayne accomplished a first in the history of Wayne ' s 17 years of existence by de- feating the Archers 15-8 and winning a Sectional ti- tle. It was a great win, ev- eryone was so emotional about the game. The de- fense played real well. 1 was glad to be a part of it, stat- ed Meek. The storybook year con- tinued, as the Generals played host to the 10-1 Go- shen Redskins. The Gener- als played an endless battle as they defeated the Red- skins 21-18. The Generals with a 7-5 record on the year played in Hobart ' s Brickie Bowl. Hobart with a 12-0 record coming into the game proved to the Gener- als that their record was not to be overlooked. The Brickies beat the Generals 42-3. We have nothing to be disappointed about, we really had a great season, stated Tim Sheefel. riew head coach Al Mar- ants took over an 0-9 team and turned Wayne into a fine-tuned working ma- chine, according to team members. Harants, was the former head coach and ath- letic director of Bellmont High School in Decatur. We had a great season this year, and I ' m looking for an even better season next year, stated Harants.

The reserve football team started the season with high hopes. Their first game against the Bishop Luers Knights turned out to be a very disappointing loss. The reserve team is coached by Mike Flanna- gan. Flannagan was an All-Big Ten selection at the wide- receiver position while he attended Indiana University in Bloomington. The Generals reserve football team was led by quarterback Craig Gregory, until a misfortunate acci- dent came over him as Gregory broke his collar bone in practice. As a result to the injury of Gregory, Steve PfeifFer had to replace him. Playing for the re- serve team was fun because 1 didn ' t have the pressure that was put on me when 1 quarterbacked varsity, stated Pfeiffer, 1 think that the reserve team will be competitive next season. T feel that we played sol- id football, and next season we should compete very well in the SAC, stated Dave Morris. ' The defense was the key to our success. Hopefully we can rebound next year, said Morris. Wayne had a revamped coaching staff led by the offensive coach Bill Ragle. Ragle also coached a winning wres- tling team last year, with two wrestlers in state level competition. The defensive coordinator was Jeff King. They reserve Generals fin- ished 4-4 in the SAC.

Last year the Generals made it to state and Carl Stoker finished with a 25th placing. Losing two outstanding runners last year with the graduation of Jim Kruse, and Stoker, the cross coun- try team had a long road to travel. Wayne started the new season with a disap- pointing loss to SAC rival Harding 31-24. Marion was the Generals next match up as they outlasted the Giants 30-24.

Wayne placed seventh in the Summit Ath- letic Conference meet with All-SAC runner Bixler finish- ing 13th udth a time of 17:23, Chad Muzzillo plac- ing 26th with a time of 18 minutes, followed closely by Todd Brown in 27th place in 18:01 with Jason Dickmeyer and Mark Ware rounding out the General pack. Wayne closed its regular season by splitting the last two meets with a loss to Huntington 29-26, and a vic- tory over Homestead 38-22. In sectional play, team captain Jason Dickmeyer, helped the Generals to a third place overall finish, and the Generals placed five runners in Regional competition at Decatur. Running in Regionals for the Generals were Dick- meyer, Muzzillo, Bixler, Brown, and senior Joe nel- son. Bixler and Dickmeyer were named to the All-Sec- tional team. Finishing first and second for Wayne and eleventh and twelveth overall were Dick- meyer 17:00, and Bixler 17:01. Dickmeyer and Bixler nearly qualified for semi-state which required at least a tenth place finish in regionals. Overall I felt we could have run much better than we did, said Dickmeyer.

Shannon Dickmeyer ' s school record eariy in the season with a time of 16:57. She then came back and broke it again against Hun- tington riorth and Home- stead, at home, running a 16:38. She really deserved the record, commented co- captain Shannon Dick- meyer, but 1 just wish I could have held onto it for at least one more year. She sure is a great runner though, and 1 was glad she was on the team. Schlie also ran a terrific race in the Summit Athletic Conference meet at Shoaff Park by placing fourteenth. Schlie is the first freshman in the history of Wayne to be named to the All-SAC team in girls cross-country. It was quite an honor. I trained all summer with Cad Stoker, and I felt really good about myself, run- ning-wise anyway, said Schlie. Dickmeyer ran second for the team and running third was sophomore Amy Stouder. Zetta Adams, Kel- ly Chronister, and senior co-captain, Michelle Aldred finished up the team. We weren ' t a very large team, but we definitely were strong. 1 just hope next year we can do as well, if not bet- ter, as we did this year, Schlie remarked about the team. The lady Generals lost one more meet than last year, but despite their record, they really had im- proved a great deal. The giris finished 13th out of 25 teams in one of the most important meets of the sea- son, the Adams Central In- vitational. And they placed seventh in their sectional meet, which is one of the best finishings for Wayne in almost seven years. It was really a great year, not only because we ran well, but also because we were closer as a team than any other year I ' ve ran, ' Aldred explains. I think if the giris will run during the summer, they have a good chance at going on to the Regional next year. 1 some- times wish 1 would be run- ning for another year so I could see it! The team seemed to be plaqued by injury. Amy Bare, Carr e Colderbank and Caroline Paulison were all bothered by leg prob- lems and could not com- pete in cross country this year. It was really hard not to be running this year. But Amy and 1 attended all the meets. It ' s really important for the giris to know that they are important and have strong support, said Paulison. It ' s nice that the boys and girls cheer each other on all season. At the SAC meet the guys were great. And we probably had more fans than at any other meet.

The Lady Generals opened their season by dominating ail other partici- pating schools at the Elm- hurst Tournament. The team kept the victory shin- ing by winning their next two games. The Generals first upset of the season was dealt to them by the new Haven Bulldogs. We played well, but we didn ' t have the teamwork to pull it off, commented junior Jill Ren- ninger. However, as the team progressed further into the season, their per- formance improved im- mensely. The followAng four games put the opposing teams to shame as they were defeated by the Gener- als. The Generals winning streak was abruptly broken in a close three game match against the Bishop Dwenger Saints. The next loss occurred in the Har- ding Invitational, when Mew Haven once again con- quered the Generals. The next several games were played well by the girls, win- ning four out of the five. Then came time for the Wayne Invitational and the team was busy preparing to meet number one ranked Muncie Burris. The girls started off the tournament by beating Bishop Luers, but didn ' t fair so well against Muncie and Ron- calli. Snider, Wayne ' s next op- ponent, held out to beat the Generals in a very close match. The Generals last game before sectionals was against Southside. This vic- tory set the pace that the girls needed for the upcom- ing sectional play. In the first game of the sectional, Wayne faced Elmhurst, which proved to be an easy win for the girls, riext up was new Haven. In previous play, fourth ranked new Ha- ven had defeated the Gen- erals twice, but that didn ' t spoil the team ' s self confi- dence. The girls went out and frustrated new Haven in a vigorous triumph. Beating new Haven was the combination of hard work, determination, and relentless concentration — an example of the potential of this team, commented coach Phil Morey. Unfortu- nately, however, a major upset by Bishop Luers fin- ished this year ' s season for the Lady Generals. Even though we lost the champi- onship game of the section- al, the season this year was very successful, stated senior Paula Ritchhart. Denise Hagler led the team with 245 kills and 105 blocks. Ritchhart was not far behind with 115 kills and 32 serving aces. Both Hagler and Ritchhart made all SAC. Sandy Tsiguloff had an outstanding 501 as- sists.

The wrestlers had an up and down season. Occa- sionally winning and more often losing with a record of five wins and eight losses. Though the wrestling team posted a rather unimpres- sive record this year, the number of sophomore and freshmen who participated promises a far better sea- son next year. We were a group of wrestlers not a team, said senior Fiate Dance. Wayne again hosted the Sectionals this year and six of the thirteen wrestlers traveled on to Regionals.

Their first victory of the season was a big one, as they defeated the Snider Panthers 70-63.

The Generals then had a rough time as they took on Muncie Central, (who was at the time second in the state), the Generals stayed close but lost 68-64. Along with the new season there was also a new rule. There is now a three point line in high school basketball. Tt made the games much closer and more exciting. It really helped our team throughout the season, ' said Soucie. The key to the Generals success was Hate Tubbs, a 6 ' 4 ' junior. Tubbs led the team with a 22.3 average and also lead the team with 190 rebounds. Tubbs ' suc- cess this season earned him all kinds of publicity on television and in the area newspapers. Lifting weights during the summer helped to improve my in- side game, stated Tubbs. The only weakness that the Generals had through- out the season was their de- fensive game. The guards were giving the ball away and turnovers hurt us against the quicker teams, stated Soucie. ' We had a good season and with a much improved squad we should be very competitive next season, stated Mead Coach Will Doehrman. The Generals will lose three senior play- ers, including one starter. One game that the fans and the players will remem- ber is the one against Bell- mont. Trailing most of the game, the Generals come- back ability got them as close as one point, but with the running out Wayne had to play for the last shot of the game. Bellmont was watching Tubbs inside, be- cause they thought that he was the one to make the shot. However, the ball went to John Minnick in- stead and he made the game-winning basket. Wayne outscored the Braves 67-66. The Generals took on Elmhurst in the first round of the sectionals, Elmhurst won 72-47. Wayne ended their see-saw season at 10- 10 and 4-6 in the SAC.

Throughout the season, the Generals were played with tough defeats. With a loss In double overtime to riorthrop by a score of 54- 55, and two others losses by one point to Bishop Luers and Harding, the Generals ' season was look- ing pretty grim. With the help from junior Doug Daf- fom and sophomore Reggie White, the team managed to turn things around by the close of the season. With a victory over Bellmont, the closing games were looking bright for the Generals. The team was led by Doug Daffom and Reggie White. Daffom, who led the team in overall scoring sta- tistics, scored 235 points on the year and averaged 11.8 points per game. White, who was the leading rebounder for the team, av- eraged 9 points per game and collected a total of 102 rebounds. The Generals concluded their season by winning four out of their last five games, including their last home game, a victory over Manchester by a score of 45-34. The Wayne freshmen boys ' basketball squad ended their 1987-88 season with a 5-11 record. The Generals came out smoking, winning five out of their first six games. The momentum then turned for the worst, with a heart- breaking loss to riorwell by a score of 35-37 and a tough loss to Elmhurst by a score of 42-45.

Winning their first game 10- 6 over riorway seemed to put the pressure on the So- viets, but that is where Team USA hopes ran out. They lost a controversial game against Czechoslova- kia and also found them- selves losers against the Soviets. Team USA had to settle for a seventh place finish. Another major set-back happened on the second day of the Olympics, as U.S. Gold medal hopeful Dan Jansen ' s sister died with leukemia that moming, but that didn ' t stop the courage and devotion of Jansen. He still competed that night in the 500 meter speed skat- ing event and fell on the second turn causing him not to finish. Two days later it was deja-vu as Jansen fell again. Team USA got their first taste of gold as mens ' fig- ure skater Brian Boitano edged out Canadian Brian Orser. Debi Thomas did not do as well, she was given the bronze in the women ' s figure skating event, as the gold was awarded to arch- rival Katarina Witt of East Germany. Twenty-year old Eric Flaim won the bronze for the United States in the speedskating event. Team USA continued their only success in the skating events, with Peter Opper- gard and Jill Watson as they finished second and took the silver medal in the pairs event. As the battle for the med- als lead heated up between the Soviets and the East Germans, the Americans tried to gain some medals for self respect. The most outstanding performer for the United States in Calgary was twenty-three year old Bonnie Blair, from Illinois as she won the gold and bronze medals in the Wom- ens speedskating events. The Soviets dominated the Olympics by winning 29 medals followed closely by East Germany with 25 med- als. The United States fin- ished with only six medals. As this years ' winter games came to a close, watch for the upcoming younger ath- letes and for Blair and Flaim to compete again in 1992.

The girls ' season started out a little slow before the Christmas break with only two wins. Winning, with a last minute edge against Concordia, 35-34, and Heri- tage with a decisive 50-42 win.

Chapman is one of the six girls who played on the reserve team. The lack of interest in the girls ' basket- ball program this season was a handicap that the team was forced to over- come. There were only thirteen girls to split between the re- serve and freshman teams which for the most part was frustrating to both teams. This problem, however, didn ' t seem to be much of a set-back for either team. In fact it became a motivator for the girls, they were forced to work a little hard- er and really pull together as a team. The reserve coach, John Sawyer, was not at all displeased with their record of 4-11 during regular season and 2-0 at the reserve tourney where they won a trophy for their efforts. At the reserve level, I don ' t make the win loss record a goal because our objective is to develop play- ers for the varsity level. With that in mind, I ' d say we had a very successful sea- son and had fun while learning, Sawyer said. And for me it was fun to coach basketball once again after eighteen years. Due to the lack of players the team members were at an advantage because they all got a lot of playing time and improved immensely. Some of the reserve players even got to experience var- sity playing time because of a lack of players on the var- sity team. — by Trish Harrington Girls ' Freshman Basketball WAYnE OPP. new Haven 11 27 Concordia 12 24 Dwenger 8 36 Morwell g 29 Homestead 9 15 Elmhurst 11 22 Luers 16 26 Heritage 24 27 South Side 18 26 north rop 15 32 Homestead 14 18 northside 13 29 Snider 10 40 freshman Tournament Dwenger 5 31 new Haven 21 44 rinal Record 0-15 You go here, then come around to pass here, explains Coach Sawyer to Gretchen Bradley during the game at Carroll.

Wayne placed third overall in the meet. Girls experience most successful year yet Although the season was long and treacherous, noth- ing but good can be said about the girls ' track team. It was a fun year, and the most successful we ' ve had, Coach Bill Blosser explained. We had a good time. Everybody improved and it showed when it came down to SAC and Sectionals. The season started off on the right foot when the girls defeated Bellmont and South Adams in their first meet. 1 had lots of fun this season, Cassie Schlie, Wayne ' s top distance run- ner commented. The most fun was probably the first meet because we beat Bell- mont and South Adams really bad, and that got us pumped up for the rest of the season! The Lady General ' s good fortune continued through- out the season with senior Lisa Kendrix leading them Listening to some last minute tips, Cassie Schlie discusses the upcoming race with Coach Bill Blosser. Schlie led the Lady Gener- als in the distance events in the SAC meet. endrix captures third place in discus at State meet vAth her outstanding ability in the shot put, discus, and the 400 relay. Also leading the Generals was sopho- more Shalon Johnson. Kendrix and Johnson also earned themselves a chance at competing in the state meet. I ' m not as ex- cited this year about going to state. 1 went my fresh- man year too, Johnson said about the state meet. 1 want to place, and it would be nice to place in both of my events, the 100 and the 200. Johnson says she hopes to at least run a 12.4 in the 100, and is striving for a 25.8 in the 200. Kendrix also competed in the state meet last year, and as a big disappoint- ment she did not place. Last year was my mis- hap, said Kendrix. This year, however, Kendrix says that she ' s not going to let the pressures get to her. 1 feel pretty comfortable this year and I ' m just going to stay relaxed. Going to the state meet, Kendrix said that she ' s not really concerned with winning, she just wants to do her best. If 1 throw 140 feet and still get beat, 1 won ' t mind at all because it will have been my best throw. So Kendrix went to the State meet at Indy and placed third in discus. She didn ' t throw as far as she planned to throw, but she was happy with her third place finishing. Kendrix will be going to Ball State Uni- versity next year on a track scholarship. This year was good to me, said Kendrix. The pressure was off me; everyone at the State meet wasn ' t saying Where ' s Kendrix? There was a giri from Bloomington who had the farthest throw this year, and last year Kendrix held that honor up to the State meet. It actually worked to a disadvantage to me. Kendrix even slept with her discus last year. She thought that might have been an omen — so this year she left the discus with Coach Blosser. All of this soul searching and hind sight helped Kendrix do what she set out to do — place at the State meet. by riiki Forbing FROrfT: Cassie Schlie, Quinzea Wimes, Kim Felker, Shalon John- son, Zetta Adams BACK: Valerie Kellermeier, Rebecca Traughber, Shannon Dickmeyer, Sherry Hughes, Susan Powers, Trena Dettmer, Qwen Fuller, riawannda Moore, Lisa Kendrix GIRLS TRACK A eide lberg and Harrington capture SAC honors in May Generals experience loss enjoyed the competi- tion of playing on the varsi- ty level this year, but next year 1 hope 1 come back as a more aggressive player, mentally and physically, said number two singles player Angle Baumgartner. The girls ' tennis team started out the season on the short end of experi- ence, losing six seniors to graduation. When the season first be- gan, different combinations of players were tried in an effort to find the best pairs that would help increase the team ' s overall wins. Al- though the season ap- peared to be a winning one, with victories in their first two matches of the season, the inexperience began to show. The Lady Generals ' six wins of the season were due to their aggressiveness at the net and their confi- dence in themselves. It was a very tough sea- son for the singles players, but they played well despite not having much experi- ence at the varsity level. Due to the talent and amount of hustle, they managed to be very com- petitive opponents. Even though the team in general (no pun intended) had a tough season, it pro- duced one of the best dou- Afler winning her match, sopho- more Sharon Brown, smiles proud- ly for the camera. bles teams in the city. Patri- cia Harrington and Kris Heidelberg had only two losses the entire season, and were rewarded for their efforts by being named to the All-SAC team. Playing doubles was a tough break after playing three years of singles, but it became well worth it after sharing the SAC title vAth Kris. It was a special way to end my awesome senior year, said Harrington. After losing to Fiorwell in the regular season 2-3, the Generals drew the Knights in the first round of Section- als and defeated them 4-1. Huntington north was Wayne ' s next match as they beat them 4-1. In the Sec- tional championship the Generals had to face state- ranked Homestead. The Lady Generals put up a great fight but wound up losing 0-4. next year ' s tennis team should prove to be very tough, with two of the three singles players returning. Amy Lunz at number one singles will be the only sin- gles player to graduate. Baumgartner will be return- ing next year, stronger than ever after competing in the tennis leagues this sum- mer. And sophomore Dawn Keller, number three sin- gles will be returning next year to make a large contri- bution to the team. Listening to instructions from the referee, Camille Grant waits for the start of her match. Grant played number three doubles with Shar- on Brown on the reserve team.

Several runners went on to compete at Re- gionals and then on to State. The support these members received from fel- low runners was great. The team in general was great ... , according to Mr. rielson Detwiler. 1 was very proud of the team. They did an excellent job for as young as they are, Detwiler commented referring to the fact that many of the runners were new incoming freshmen or sophomores. ' 1 was pleased wdth the results. They did a good job. Some of the seniors on the team felt a little differ- ent about the season. We could have done a lot bet- ter then we did, said sen- ior co-captain Cory Qreen. We did have a lot of new people on the team, but still I think others could have done better. In agreeing with his fellow captain, Henry Hall adds, 1 think that we need more people who can be dedicat- ed to track and not goof around all the time. Peo- ple who don ' t need to work out all the time. I know that 1 let some of my teammates down by not accomplishing all that 1 could have and doing my very best. Maybe if 1 had tried harder, we could have done better, said Hall. Qreen and Hall had several of the best times in track and on the field. Qreen went on to State. Before the events, we were a team. Then you split up and went out on your own and became an individ- ual. Through it all, the joy, the sweat, the tears, and the fulfillment of winning. Qreen finished with the second best time in the State in low hurdles. The team finished with a 22nd place out of the 70 teams at Indy. by Kris Byeriey Running the last leg for the Gener- als, Josh Forbing strides towards the finish line in the relay competition. BOYS TR CK A enerals take Sectional crown; stopping Trojan streak Fireoved takes over head coach- ing position The Generals picked up the win and the Sectional crown at new Haven. It was an awesome feat to say the least. The Generals met Woodlan in the first game of the Sectionals and won eas- ily 6-2. But in the champion- ship game against Elm- hurst the battle wasn ' t as easily won. Elmhurst had won the Sectional crown for the last five years, and ex- pecting to take home a sixth. During the first three innings several errors were made, one a piece by Brian Clements, Gene Houser, and Dave Zimske, and the Trojans took advantage of the situation and made up three runs. During the fourth inning Wayne scored seven runs. It was pretty depressing at first. 1 thought this was another end to a Wayne General season, but then the sen- iors came through; Todd Soucie, Zimske, Houser, and Joe Clayton. It was great, said second base- man Randy Crawford. ' The crowd support was really awesome. 1 don ' t think I ' ve ever played on such a great Hustling off the fie ' d.

Fireoved gave us the discipline we had seemed to be lacking over the years. Mr. Dave Fireoved took over the General coaching position after leaving South Side. The Generals weren ' t as lucky in the Regionals. Wayne reached the final with a 4-1 win over riorthrop. But the Warsaw Tigers defeated the Generals 11-2. We didn ' t have very good defense, and they took advantage of it, said Fireoved. You don ' t come from behind wAth the way we played. The Generals started off the season with four wins against Snider, north Side, and two wans against Jay County. But then the Gener- als lost the next four. They have had an up and dow n season. During a SAC game against north Side the Gen- erals did another famous rally, and Joe Clayton hit a ball to the fence and scored the winning runs. The Gen- erals have been known for their rallies all season. The Generals ended their season 20-13. 1 felt really good about winning the Sectionals, said senior Bri- an Hansen. The pitching by Chris Thomas has been solid all year long. Reas and Klejnot have been great at backup. Running in to retrieve a short ground ball, senior Dave Zimske sprints toward the plate.

The mighty Gen- erals started off their sea- son by defeating Snider 6-2. They then proceeded to win another five consecutive games. In the sixth game, however, the Concordia Ca- dets posed the Generals with a problem they couldn ' t overcome. The Generals played well, but their 13 errors contributed to the loss of the game. This loss didn ' t change the Generals ' attitude to win their next five games. The last two games of the sea- son were tough for the Gen- erals, and they were defeat- ed both times. The Generals ended their sea- son feeling very good about their successful season. The Generals were led of- fensively this year by catch- er Richie Stone. Stone got a hit 25 times out of the 44 times at bat. As the season ended, he finished batting an amazing .568. Defensively the Generals were aided by the pitching Thrown out at first, Richie Stone heads for the dugout. of Todd Brown. Brown con- tributed to the team with his fine pitching skills and his outfield play. The Generals have al- ready began to prepare themselves mentally for next year ' s season. The team will be very competi- tive throughout the entire season next year, and I feel we will do very well, said sophomore Curtis Collins. Curtis also feels the team ' s experience this year, will benefit their playing ability in the future. Overall, The Generals ' had a terrific season. But why wouldn ' t they under the direction of Coach Mike Flanagan? Flanagan was also a coach on this year ' s winning football team. There was a revamping on the baseball diamond this year. Don Merkler hung up his coach ' s shoes and Dave Fireoved took over the var- sity coaching position. Fir- eoved had coached a few seasons at South Side, and decided to take Wayne up on its offer. Along vdth Fir- eoved, Flanagan also took over for Mr. Dan Stier, who coached the reserve team last year. The reserve fin- ished with a very positive record. Their only SAC losses came against Con- cordia and north Side. Wayne went up against them both twice and fin- ished 50-50. Many of the re- serve players will be playing varsity positions next year, because of the heavy loss of senior players. Sliding into home, Damion Wil- kins scores another run for Wayne. The Generals defeated Homestead by a score of 7-2. Catching the ball with the tip of the bat, Chad Wagner watches as the ball rolls foul. The Generals went on to defeat Elmhurst.

In the Sectional tourna- ment at Brookwood, the Generals finished sixth out of fourteen teams with Jackson finishing second overall and advancing to the Regional competition. Jackson shot a 78 in Re- gionals, but missed the Semi-State cut by one stroke. 1 was really proud of my performance in golf this year and 1 was very happy that 1 made All-SAC. 1 hope next year 1 will do better and go all the way to State, said Jackson.

Although starting the season off with a 4-2 loss against Bishop Luers, the Generals rebounded with two victories against Fort Wayne Christi an and Harding. The Generals were led all season by the pitching of Reyes, who finished the season with 146 strikeouts in 126 innings pitched, and with a 11-10 record. Reyes was named to the SAC team this year, as a junior. I was glad to make All- SAC, because it was one of my goals at the beginning of the season.

Also leading the Generals this year were infielders Deann Booth and Josette Simerman, who hit .375 and .344 respectfully. Booth was named to the All-SAC second team. This is Wayne ' s third year of competing in high school Softball. In the first season the girls finished 3-13. This year the Generals were 11- 12, tying last season ' s record. Wayne ' s most decisive victory came against inner- city rival Harding by the score of 34-0, as Reyes al- lowed only one Harding hit and Booth went four of five with a triple and 10 runs batted in. Against Harding the whole team contributed of- fensively and defensively that led to good team work for our victory, stated Reyes. The Generals finished in a three-way tie for fourth place in the SAC with a 5-4 record and 11-12 overall tieing the most victories in the three years that softball has been offered here at Wayne. In sectional play Wayne took on Harding for the third time this season each ending in the same result a victory, the last one winning 9-5. Then Wayne took on host, state-ranked Bell- mont.

You ' ve seen them at their worsts and you ' ve seen them at their bests. Yes, seniors are defi- nitely special. The seniors got together during Christmas and decorated the commons. During the sea- son, the senior English classes raised over $150 in two days so that they could postpone an es- say. And oh yea, the help SCAPi. Seniors like Joe Carcione and Jill Fitzharris were the definite leaders in the school. Carcione, the Student Council President took a pie in the face at the annual Christmas assembly. Seniors like Kyle Roe and Steve Read were never too proud to be a horse ' s head or rear- end; so senior Dave Orr could ride as a General should into the pep sessions. Seniors like Piate Tubbs, Dave Zimske, Rick Meek, Tony Boutte, Jason Dickmeyer, Trish Harrington, Paula Ritch- hart, Sandy Tsiguloff, and Denise Hagler led us through various sporting seasons. These are a few of the things that make senior year special. Hanging out in senior hall, sitting together at the pep sessions, planning the sen- ior trip, graduation, and the ever-popular skip day. That ' s what being a senior is all about, said Fitzharris. You ' ve got to be involved, whether it be in COE, or publications, or sports, or whatever; just make the most of your senior year. You make your senior year what you want to make it. ' It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Susan Turner went through the chronologi- cal happenings in our lives, and it was very sad, said Jill Fitzharris. I think it finally hit me this morning . . . I ' m graduating, next year 1 won ' t be coming to Wayne in the fall. I ' ll be going to Taylor University! Who ' s gonna be fix- ing me breakfast, waking me up, taking me to school, have dinner waiting on me? But I think I ' m gonna be alright, no, 1 know I ' m gonna be alright. 1 can ' t wait to get to college. Yes, Wayne graduates will be alright. They made the most of their four years at Wayne, and now they are ready to enter the world. But until we see them again, probably Christmas break, good luck, and use your potential to the fullest. Wayne will keep on making the most out of ev- ery senior class following. wiping away the tears, Lisa Jones and her mom spent the last few moments of the breakfast reminiscing about Lisas antics during her four years at Wayne.

SDendma tim w iimmMm u As the final weeks drew to a close, sever- al senior activities took place to highlight the end of the Class of ' 88 ' s high school career. Two in particular were Class Act and the trip to Stratford. The theme of this year ' s Class Act was The Dan Letterman Show, featuring the host Dan Schwartz along with Joe Carcione as The Green Grocer. The seniors did everything from an aerobics workout, read- ing senior wills and prophecies to a rean- actment of the Grease hit Summer Lo- vin. Many seniors who participated in Class Act ' 88 seemed to agree that the show went off better than expected. 1 was very glad that everything ran pretty smoothly and that the show was a suc- cess, stated Senior Class President Trish Harrington. We had a lot of fun! The highlight of the evening that proved to be very special and sentimental to all who attended was Jill Fitzharris ' solo of Michael W. Smith ' s song Friends, in which she dedicated to the whole senior class. The show ended on a good note as members of Class Act ' 88 said goodbye to family and friends by singing Van flalen ' s remake of Happy Trails.

The Seventeenth An- nual Commencement of Wayne High School at the Memorial Coliseum started Monday eve- ning, June sixth, at 7:30. As parents of the smallest class to graduate from Wayne began to fill the Coliseum, a hush began to fall and the announcement of the trumpets blared, first to be announced were the high honors, senior top ten, were Joan Blum, Valedictorian; Tamara Henry, Salutatorian; Gregory Rockstroh, David Orr, Lori Pettit, Caroline Paulison, Paula Ritch- hart, Joe Bowman, Lisa Hays, and Tami Warstler. I felt honored being Valedictorian, but I think others deserved recognition for their accomplishments, said Joan Blum. This year a new tradition was brought to the ceremony, as the seniors performed the tassle ceremony together to signify graduation of the class. As soon as the excitement settled, the class of 1988 left their motto for everyone to remember: To dream anything that you want to dream That is the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits That is the courage to succeed. This senior year has been a little strange to say the least. It was a quiet year, but one that we will remember, said Jill Fitzharris. ' The class as a whole wasn ' t very close, but we made the most of our last moments at Wayne; senior class act, traveling to Hobart, and all the parties were fun. We ' ll remember those things forever. Are you sure we have to do t i s? Peggy Sorg was not the only senior who seemed a little overwhelmed. Sorg was involved in the COE program this year w h Miss Weaver. Let me help you with that! Rob Kolpien straightens Joe Claytons tie for him before the seniors enter the arena area.

QRADUATlOr staying well rounded socially and academically Disc jockey wins out over live band Band or D.J.??? This was the question most asked by the juniors as they planned the 1987 88 prom. There was much controversy between the upper- classmen in trying to decide which would best suit the atmosphere of the prom, but through voting, a fi- nal decision was reached. The out- come of having a D.J. was highly supported by the senior class. A lot of time and devotion was put into preparations of the prom by the junior class officers and represen- tatives. Prom was not the only thing that took up the time and devotion of the juniors, with this year proving to be the most challenging within academics. The study habits that have been formed this year by most will help in the learning of re- sponsibilities in the transfer from high school to college. Although there were many pressures and as- signments, schoolwork was not all that the juniors centered around. They were still able to relax and have fun. by Stacy Miller Making Choices, Chris Fumo, Tena Shur- boff, and Jackie Johnson spend a little time with Mr. Houk while registering for school.

When a person celebrates his sixteenth birthday, it is con- sidered by many a turning point in his life. Turning sixteen also is a time when many young people are load- ed down with many new responsi- bilities in addition to the ones they already have. They usually range from getting their drivers license to making plans for graduation, and possibly college. One of the most common received privileges is be- ing allowed to date. Some parents think that when their child turns sixteen, something magical hap- pens and their child can now at- tempt to accept the responsibilities of dating. ...

If someone is laughing at you, you have no choice but to laugh with them or look incredibly stupid. We ' ve all had that time when our fly has been open for twenty minutes and we just want to shrivel up into non-existence. It is a wonder how some people don ' t turn red when others are as bright as a beet. Blabbermouth Irish Harrington shows a little pinkness, but can also laugh at herself. She was at Hudson ' s with her sister and they were talking away, deep into the conversation. They had a destiny in that store, although they were not reaching it by attempting to ascend the down escalator. Which is the worst? Embarrass- ing moments out of sheer igno- rance or situations from accidents or being the victim of a nasty joke? The worst thing Is, you have no say in what happens. Senior Steve Ridgeway was a victim of some sort of experiment when he visited Western Michigan University. Visit- ing the theatre department, he was asked to try on a costume for quick changes. It consisted of tights, a shirt and a large hat. The instructor showed with a cut at the shoulder with a knife how easily it could be removed. Steve was left in his un- derwear which he quickly con- cealed with his hat. Any situation in the reverse can be embarrassing, too. For exam- ple, falling up the stairs instead of down. The reverse of eating is a fun one, throwing up. Bob Stiles com- ments on how he reversed his in- sides in sixth grade. Its always fun when the teacher won ' t let you leave and you have no choice but to puke on their shoes. The embarrassment can all be in your mind. If you care and worry about who is laughing at you, then you will most likely turn red.

One char- acteristic of this lengthy limbo is the dreaded Sophomore Blues. no longer in the spotlight as new, incoming freshmen, but stuck in another dimension. ' You ' re old enough to know bet- ter, but too young to do anything about it, states sophomore Chad Borden. We all know what that means, the endless waiting to get your driver ' s license. Get- ting you ' re license means free- dom from those lonesome blues, no more agonizing over whose going to drive during the date — mom or dad. Still, the waiting is forever. Some people are fortunate enough to have their license al- ready, and even a car. Sopho- more, Mike Cox, is one of them. My parents bought me a car and 1 don ' t even have a job yet. It ' s not that bad if you can double with someone, it gives you something to look forward to, says Ann Savieo. Those peo- ple who say it ' s fun to date at all are the lucky ones. Some people aren ' t even allowed to date until a certain age. Usually most par- ents make the rule that you have to be sixteen to date. Sure, most people date before that, but who ' s going to say? no one understands why the rule of being sixteen is so wide- spread. It can ' t be an age of ma- turity because a lot of people are too concerned with having fun. It can ' t mean that being sixteen is when you automatically like someone. So what is it? Most parents feel it ' s just a good age to begin dating. After being in high school for a year, parents feel we know the people well enough. All right, we know it doesn ' t take a year to know a person, but what we, the stu- dents think, and what they, the parents think, are two different ideas. Soon enough the Sopho- more Blues fade away. School isn ' t so bad and neither is being a sophomore. You are now leav- ing the sophomore zone.

People are amazed with the antics of sopho- more Chad Borden. Although Borden has only been at Wayne two years, he seems to have infil- trated all the possibilities. He is on the Decathalon team, involved in Key and French Clubs, Student Council, and Dra- ma. Borden tried to comment on what he does in his spare time, but then realized he has no spare time. Borden had a lead in the fall play which is not unusual. Me has stared in all the plays since he has been here. The fact that he has appeared in 35 produc- tions with seven community the- aters is remarkable. Me has also appeared as a guest star with the fort Wayne Dance Collective. Everything happens for a pur- pose. Try to take even the worst situation and learn as much as you can from it. Borden said that in regards to his dropping out of swing choir; among other things. Mis freshman year he dou- ble as performer-assistant direc- tor. Borden didn ' t give up music by any means, just because he gave up swing choir. He is in All-City orchestra and Youth Symphony.

Carl Yoder Jeff Zent Karri Zollinger SOPHOMORES 7 freshmen The trials and tribulations of freshmen year Joining the iiigh school hierarchy Ya know it ' s hard being a fresh- men. Everyone picks on you, tells you to go the wrong way when you ' re already five minutes late to your first period class, and the upperclassmen are getting rich by selling freshmen elevator passes. One good thing is that Wayne High School doesn ' t be- lieve in stupid acts such as initia- tion. That was one big relief. En- tering Wayne is hard enough on freshmen without adding any ex- tra pressure. Going from junior high to high school is a big step. Even if you were pretty hot in the eighth grade, things suddenly change when you enter high school. You have to deal with being a nobody. One positive thing is that you won ' t be a nobody forever. In one short year you ' ll be a somebody and take your place in the hierar- chy of high school life. Go, fight, win! The freshmen class was the largest class at Wayne this year with almost 400 people.

They are the ones with the new clothes, back packs and they look like they are running the 50-yard dash just to get to class on time, or maybe the ones who aren ' t running are frantically trying to remember their locker combinations; even attempting to get them open! It happens every year, and each year it ' s the same story. Excuse me? can you tell me where D108 is? Oh YES! ' says a senior (don ' t forget — upperclassmen, ESPE- CIALLY SEFilORS, are always eager to help out the poor little fresh- men). D108 is up these stairs and to your left! AAHM! Those were the days! Even though you try to act like you know what you are doing, it ' s not always that easy to adjust to a new, big school. Freshman Skip Sorg confesses, One of the hard- est things for me was learning the different parts of the building, but after a few days it became really easy. You just have to give it some time. Another bad point, brought up by freshman Ed Reust was, one thing 1 don ' t like about being a freshman is the fact that you are always getting picked on and being called a little freshman. ! o matter how many times you get lost, jam ' your locker, or buy those elevator ' passes from the helpful seniors, just remember that you won ' t be freshmen for long and very soon you, too, will be a BIG ' senior helping out those freshmen! by Stacy Sorg Jason Lee Brian Lindley Anna Loftis Misty Long Michelle Loshe Michele Lothamer James Loveday Bradley MacPherson Wesley Maddox Tonia Magner Joe Mahachanh Annette Maldeney Marritha Malone Micole Manny Angela Mason Michelle Mason Tem ' ll May Michelle McClain Mark McCorkel Jenny McLaughlin Jodi McLeod Michelle McLiman Michael McCune Kevin McDaniel There are advantages in having siblings Helping with tlie iiomework When asked about how one feels about having older brothers and sisters the com- mon reply is, it ' s O.K. Howev- er, when that same person is asked if they would want to at- tend the same school, there is a completely different reaction. Siblings are very common at Wayne High School, yet many groans are shed over this situa- tion. Having an older brother or sis- ter isn ' t all bad according to a few students at Wayne. Robin Read felt that she knew more people when she started Wayne as a freshman. She said, Since I live so close to the school, a lot of Jim and Steve ' s friends came over. 1 got to meet a lot of people that way. Said nita Herber, a sophomore, It was fun doing things with older kids. You wouldn ' t think that seniors would want to hang around with freshmen. There are other ad- vantages of having an older sib- ling attending the same school. One of the bigger ones deal with homework. It was felt that older siblings could help with tough assignments because they may have taken those courses in the past. On the other had, the disad- vantages pile up quickly. Read felt that it was difficult to live up to her older brother Jim ' s ac- complishments. She stated, Jim was in almost everything, sports, student council, every- thing! He even got straight As. Herber added, I get sick of hearing people ask questions about my older brothers who have already graduated. Having an older sibling can also result in the loss of one ' s identity. I am so sick of everyone asking me if I am Jim or Steve ' s baby sister. Sometimes 1 just say, Fio, my name is Robin. Read sums up having an older brother at school the way most people do. She says with a casu- al shrug, I guess its O.K. having older brothers here. There ' s nothing I can do about it, so 1 may as well live it up! ■T i £ ' . WM Shawn McOrath Sarah Michel!

We often see the Treps, the Jeans, the Moods, and the Barbies and Kens. They can easily be broi en down into the popular and unknown, in other words, the ins and the outs. The ins can be seen at many, if not all of the games, giving their support to the teams. They can be found at the parties, and are members of several clubs. They attend the dances, and some have the honor of being on a court. They give all their time and ef- fort into being involved, and still manage to make the grades. AM nagel is a good example of an involved student. Hagel commented 1 like getting in- volved and cheerleading was a good way for me. Cathy Cost is also a sopho- more, and as an active stu- dent she added Its been fun, but having time for yourself is hard. But 1 enjoy doing stuff for the school. The outs are the ones who cannot be found at any of the games and cannot be heard at the pep sessions. They are not involved in school spirit and therefore they are unaware of what is happening around them. Brenda Brooks commented I never get excited about school unless there is a party. Clubs are boring. My friends don ' t go so 1 don ' t. I ' d rather spend time with my friends than get involved. - Then there are the in betweens, who because of conflicts find it difficult to be involved. For example, sopho- more Diane flans finds getting involved too time consuming. 1 work and spend time with my friends and so it is hard to be involved. The bottom line is the more effort you put into Wayne the more you will be recognized. Many students seem to find that true. Give me a ' W.

Lawrence ' s two sons, Patrick and Tim, attend riorthrop High School where they are involved in many music related activities. Lawrence realizes that her stu- dents along with her sons com- plain about the very same things.

When I ' m figuring grades I take into consideration what the student deserves and the stu- dent himself. 1 know there are many outside pressures on them because of the ones 1 see on my sons.

Shops sold the latest Euro- pean fashion that the students couldn ' t find in Fort Wayne. The trench coats from Wayne were supplied by the Green Room, said Saucer. Saw yer tells his final story of how half the students didn ' t make it to Stratford. Septer missed the tum to the bridge three times and almost missed the trip to Canada. The tradition of the Stratford trip was a success in the past and hopefully the students will get out of their seats to keep the tradition for years to come, by Amy nagel Cfndy Ramsey Culaaia John Reche D.E.CA., Business f arQ i RenninQer Cafeteria CJlie Reust Aide L£S Robeits Social Studies Bart ara Roe Cafeteria John Sawyer English Beth Schrader Special education John Septer Spanish, En lsh LoweJl Shearer Qennan Judi Simennan Cafeteria Phil Smith Math Rick Smith Orchestra.

It was printed by Josten ' s Printing and Publishing Division in Clarksville, Tennessee, nine hundred copies were printed; consisting of 208 pages printed on 100 pound gloss enamel. Special thanks goes to Valerie Clark who put in extra hours of her time; section editors Jill Fitzharris, Stacy Miller, Stacy Sorg, Amy nagel, Erin Holston, Kris Byerley and Eddie Ingram who de- signed layouts, wrote stories, and added special touches; Mrs. Hart-Hoover who saw that the work got done and without her help a lot of it wouldn ' t have; Mark Childs, who as Josten ' s sales repre- sentative spent long hours helping with design alwa ys handing out criticisms (we take it very well) and high accolades (a lot more than we deserved at times), riate Herber and Jill Renninger that kept track of advertising and crabbed every time we spent a dime, and to all the other staff members, Craig Buonomo, Beckie Felton, Kathy Qannon, Jeanne Hawkins, Kris Heidelberg, Sheri Leigh, Tri- cia Lichtsinn, Nicole Lohman, Michelle Meyer, Kathy Meldzwiecki, Christina Ognenoff, Steve Pfeiffer, Bob Stiles, Cheryl Tribolet, and Michael Weriing. Holly Sprunger was kind enough and outrageous enough to design our cover. Thanks to newspaper staff and the basic joumal- ism class that donated their time to help edit, write stories, and give us a broader out look on our yearbook and our lives. We question whether their is life after pub? It ' s kind of what its like after you die — no one knows. But without outstanding jour- nalism students such as we have here at Wayne, books like this are not possible. It ' s dedication, hard work, and many many pizza and birthday parties that do it. Yea, maybe Hart-Hoover had some- thing to do with it. Back to the vital statistics, the ones that really matter. The cover was printed using a four color litho process, using 100% black, various shades of turquoise and peach. The binding is smjth sewm. The front end sheet was printed in the four-color process using the turquoise and peach shades. The back sheets were done on snow white 280. All senior pictures and underclassmen photos for the album were taken by Lifetouch Portraits, Muncie, Indiana. And special thanks to Steve Paul, Lifetouch s representative, for taking special photos such as graduation, and Homecoming. As 1 look back through the book, I see the collected efforts of many talented people (okay, Nate Herber too), and I also see that I ' m making the most of the year again. I ' m proud to be a part of the Journalism Department and to have been able to produce the book for you. It made the most of my junior year, until next year. Niki Forbing editor-in-chief 1988 Sentry — And we Made e Most out of that. Senior tara Fartee slams a coconut creme pie into the face of Student Council President Joe Car- .iiiiKVcione. We Made the Most out of everyday possible at Wayne during this school year. Those days will be remembered. v ' 208 CLOSlnO
