PERSONAL FOUL! smiles Varsity cheerleader Barb Short as she demonstrates, for confused Panther fans, penalty signals used by foot- ball referees to show infractions of the rules. Action Every yearbook has a unique theme which ties each sec- tion together and unifies the entire volume. This theme is also a guideline for the editors, copywriters, and pho- tographers to follow. Action Takes Many Forms is the theme selected for this edition of the SAFARI. It was chosen because school, especially a high school, is one of the best places to observe action. The most obvious place to look first is the athletic department, with its sports events and long hours of practice. But all other areas and functions of a school contain equal amounts of action in the form of motion, laughter, excitement, anger, frustra- tion, and communication. These things compose the true center and heart of a school. ' BUT I ' LL MISS MY BUS. is a cry heard by many teachers daily as 845 students of Snider ' s 1284 student body ride the 14 buses serving Snider every morning and every evening after school. ajflriili ' r

Dedication Hard work, planning, and anticipation were climaxed on Sunday, October 31, 1966, when R. Nelson Snider High School was dedicated. Representatives from public and parochial schools, leading Fort Wayne administra- tors, as well as parents, teachers, and students attended the ceremony in the Snider gymnasium. Speakers representing P.T.A., Snider student body, school administration, and Board of Education preceded Mr. R. Nelson Snider. In his speech, Mr. Snider stated that he hoped that Snider would be dedicated to the idea that every boy and girl who enters can become educated regardless of his or her capabilities. Mr. John Martindale, architect, presented the new building to the Fort Wayne Community Schools. Mr. David Peters, president of the school board, gave the acceptance speech for the presentation of the school. Reverend R. La Verne Ervin gave the invocation, and the benediction was said by Reverend Floyd E. Blake. The Snider orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Richard Seeger, and the concert choir, directed by Mr. James Clauser, performed during the dedication ceremonies. Prior to and following the dedication, the new Snider building was open to the public. Student guides assisted visitors in each hall and classroom. Mr. and Mrs. R. Nelson Snider admire the portrait of Mr. Snider donated by People ' s Trust and Savings Com- pany. The picture is located in the main lobby. Unveiling the portrait of Mr. Snider are Mike Coleman and Sheri Petrick. Witnessing the occasion are Lester Grile, Donnelly P. McDon- ald, John Martindale, Maurice Davis, and R. Nelson Snider.
