PVe Ve made it what it is The making of a year Fort Wayne found itself wrapped up in another at- tempted murder when Vernon Jordan was shot out- side of his motel room at the Marriott. It was not long until Fort Wayne was on nation-wide T.V. as the search for the would-be murderer went on. We needed some type of release to take our minds off the problems of the city and our own personal dilemmas to help us make our year alright and AC DC provided the opportunity to do so. Even with the strong numbers of the police force on. ,hand, the crowd swarmed in and filled the Coliseum to its capacity and you were among the numbers making that night a night Fort Wayne area rock fans would never forget. The year marked a new trend in fashion as girls wore knee length skirts with socks and loafer shoes. It was called the preppy look, and you wore the clothes, as well as the traditional Levis and popular T-shirts bearing any phrase that seemed appropriate. Throughout the year we tried to make the school something better, something we could say we made.

We ' ve made it what it is The making of a year bathroom we knew it would become a part of the school, a memory that would not fade away as did the smoke. Yellow ribbons added a new dimension to the school and the student body as girls donned them in recogni- tion of the return of the Americans held hostage by the Iranians as President Carter left office. Classes made the problems of the world seem so small when you compared them to the trauma of writing a theme in Larry Huff ' s Senior English class on poetry or trying to cram for the test you had forgotten about the night before. Even the snake squirming down the foreign language hall on April 20th made up a part of the 1981 school year. And when Mr. Rogers came to visit New Haven High School at Happenings, not only was a new word learned, dog bleep, but a new part of the school was seen. We started out with a year and a building that had white walls with an orange stripe running around the tops of them and by May 27 we made it more than any ordinary school. We made it what it is: we made it New Haven High School. Band is an activity that starts in elementary and continues through high school. Scott Roller rests before playing again.
