Bicentennia Honors heroes Though not exactly a fort anymore, the city of Fort Wayne originally was built on the portage of the Mau- mee, St. Joseph, and St. Mary rivers. In earlier times, this area on which the city was built was found to be the shortest route between the Great Lakes and the inland waterways.

There were courses in the Kellys' schedules that were extremely difficult. Some students became so lost during a class discussion or lecture that they eventually lapsed into daydreaming. When that happened, all one could do was to await rescue by that electronic life- saver, more commonly known as the bell. If it were not for the anticipation of those cherished two days at the end of each week, existence would have been unbearable. Football games, sleeping, par- ties, and other weekend endeavors all helped to keep the sanity of South Siders from disappearing. Seniors, having been out in the world longer than underclass- men, find a way to beat the crowds. While Jon Fried thinks he's on a Out of gas?
