It was sponsored in Allen County by the Mary Penrose Chapter of Fort Wayne. Sandy won on the basis of citizenship, leadership, and interest and knowledge of U.S. Government and U.S. history. Another senior, Tim Morrison, won the American Legion Oratorical contest which took place at NHHS. The Viet Nam War, so remote in the world- of a student was made more realistic as Captain Jack Downey, son of Mr. Byron Downey, came to speak to the student body on Veterans ' Day. Immediately after talk, Capt. Downey flew to South Viet Nam to serve as a military adviser. Probably one of the most interesting assemblies was one performed by gracious representatives of Mexico. Eight Mexican exchange students danced and sang folk songs. The group was a part of the Experiment in International Living program and were housed in homes in Fort Wayne. The program enables students of our nation to live with those of another nation. Then in January a new television show, Youth Asks, which features high school students from the Fort Wayne and New Haven schools, made its debut. Four New Haven seniors appeared on the show to interview Joseph Kramm, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for his play, The Shrike. The four seniors were Douglas Lebrecht, Tim Morrison, Cindy Eynon, and Suzi Winans. Samples of questions asked are, What do you think of actors and politics? Do you like novel or playwriting better? and Do you draw your characters from personal friends? INCOGNITO— When is a school parking lot not a school parking lot?
