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. CEMENT and cement blocks are the floor and walls of Homestead High School. - A--W . .. M -- NR A V M' V M5-al2 .,, l......-- Lllffmza-emit'-'m1 W ----------W lawn Schools.

A Weill in continued Fresh from the field Completion work on Home- stead began in 1969 and in the fall of 1970 Homestead I-ligh School was opened with a facul- ty of 63, a principal named Goldsbury and a superintendent called Glancy. The original 16 rooms had been enlarged to en- compass administrative offices, cafeteria, auditorium and gym- nasium in addition to more classrooms. Since 1973 fthe year of the infamous property tax freezej enrollment has grown 282. The money supplies came from two sources: State and Local. Since the local taxes, property, that is, have been frozen, the state al- lowed an extra 72, funding to account for a 152 inflation. fNow I understand.j Over the years, this lack of funding has caused many problemsg the most recently risen is the availability of substitute teachers. Currently Southwest is the lowest payin corporation. Money is one o the few aspects that haven' changed in 10 years. There are 21 of the origins faculty members left. Thi change in staff and administra: tion is one of the most noticablg characteristics of SWAC. Som! criticize the lack of stabilit-l while others encourage thil theory of new blood.
