The Switch of it We 11 turn the Switch together Anew principal, a new administrative staff, new faculty coaches and students have all changed the face of Wayne. The Generals clad in their red and Columbia blue join together by turning the svdtch on TOGETHER! The school united for the annual Homecoming by supporting the student coun- cil in their endeavors to bring the graduates home to participate in the festivities with the students at Wayne. By seeing the school unite both young and old, the underclassmen begin to develop and expand the General PRIDE! The Homecoming project is only the beginning of the unity that the new faces at Wayne can brighten. However, it is the incorporation of both the new and the old faces that has made one of the biggest switches at Wayne. It was both the young and old students that gave their time and blood in the Redcross Bloodmobile; it was the administration, faculty, and students who donated to the annual Christmas project; and finally it was the administration, seniors, and caring friends and relatives who participated in the graduate com- mencement exercises. The big switch is on! And with the help of everyone the General PRIDE has been lifted to a new height. But let ' s not stop. Let ' s keep the switch on! Spirit was in abundance during spirit week, and sophomore Jeff Ellenburger is the ideal example of It. The blue hair was definitely one of the more wild forms of spirit. To We eye, this scene looks like the outside of a school party, but in reality, this isjust one of the many practice fire drills performed during the year. As one can see, even drills can be fun!
