THE Fort Wayne Children 's Zoo provided an unusual escape, a chance for picnics and animal watching. THE brass section added their own form of class and style to the pep sessions. 4-OPENING! Onward, Upward, Outward Onward, Upward, Outward Locally a new Fort Wayne administration took over. Mayor Winfield Moses assumed office January 1, 1980. The change from Republican to Democratic promises a move- ment and the mayor promises expansion. Our school reflected every- thing that was happening around us. Anti-Iranian feeling was rampant. Anyone could parti- cipate in a gambling pool on the American Hockey team. Music maintained its traditional high priority standing with high school students. Maybe the music best parel- led our lifestyle. The established artists remained near the top while new ones never ceased to challenge their statuses. A new breed of music came to be known as New Wave rock. It was a compilation of everything presently existing, but it moved to expand and explore. It al- lowed growth of aritsts much like an academic institution teaches a student how to use his talents and learn the concepts necessary for survival. People want to grow. They need to change. And in order to grow, they must expandg ex- plore their potential, their horizons and their goals. Political happenings were in abundance when President Car- ter asked the American athletes and people to boycott the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow in protest to the Soviet invasion of Afganistan. Following Car- ter's announcement the U.S. Hockey team shocked the world by winning the Hockey title at the Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York.

W' we Once upon a time, Cisn't that the way these stories begin?l in a county called Allen and five townships known as Pleasant, Eel River, Perry, Abo- ite and Lafayette, a law was made by the state that said these townships must reorganize by the year 1965. Many people were confused Cwouldn't you be?l because a minimum number of students 1' H ,, Cut of the cornfleld , Cn to the new was required to establish a school district and a high school. The city system called Fort Wayne Community Schools snatched Pleasant Township because of its industry ftaxes you know means money.l, Eel River and Perry Townships didn't want to wait, so they set- up Northwest Allen schools. QBy the time Aboite and Lafay- ette got around to making deci- sions they were the only ones lefty In 1967 Aboite and Lafay- ette consolidated to create the Metropolitian School District of Southwest Allen County. In this new place known to many as Southwest Allen QSWAC to othersl the school building called Aboite became a junior-high school. Lafayette Central H.i.gh School became an elementary school with grades kindergarten to six. A partially completed building named Homestead was also an elemen- tary school. G-Iey, have you people figured out yet what was missing?j Since the district provided no high school all the Southwest students went to Elmhurst High School, a part of Fort Wayne Community STEEL girders are the primary source of support to the building structure.
