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

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. Sawyer made us come up with $150 so we could put off an essay until after Christ- mas, ' said senior Amy riagel. 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. Student Council President Joe Carcione presented the check in the amount of $4226.29 to SCAFi. The 2:35 bell rang, the students roared out of the gym, and not to be seen again (except at the malls) until next year. by Jill Fitzharris Offering ttie cfiance to receive a pie in the face, Joe Carcione stands defiant at the thought of a banana cream pie.
