news all along The year was also a time for anniversaries. It was the Walker Career Center ' s 10th birthday. Recognized for vocational training throughout the Midwest, it opened in 1976 and has become known for its many fine career programs. Yet the Career Center wasn ' t the only tradition celebrating an anniversary. The ' 87 Wigwam would be distributed in its 50th year, and editors were hoping that it would be the best book ever .The 1938 Owl announced that first edition. Through the years the Wigwam has continues to win top honors in state and national ratings although its size and format has changed radically from that first paper-backed book.

Perhaps the largest raindrops ever to fall at Warren soaked Homecoming week, but the Warriors still had the spirit to Shake it Up , even if the week did end with a loss to the Cathedral Irish. From the football field we traveled to the academic field. With a large number of new members, the Honor Society planned for an productive season. Productions also described the Drama Department which managed to put on both a successful fall play and a musical, both with different twists. From the depths of the unknown, WEDM radio station appeared back on the air waves hosting numerous events and disc- jockeying many dances, including the successful Christmas Dance. Second Semester started off with a bang - The Variety Show, where students showed off their talents and the audience showed off bad manners. Winter Homecoming was a pleasant break before the Sweetheart Dance, and then it was off to Spring Break and finally Senior Week. We knew we wouldn ' t be bored. We knew it all along. Lifting off, Student Council launches balloons for their distance contest.
