Ferforming Rhythm of the night. The Sensation Singers performed several times during the year for the students. The FTA brings an exciting asem- bly about their Prevention Through Education program early in the school year. There was a film on child sexual abuse shown. The freshman class give it their collective best shot at their first Homecoming pep rally. Spirit build- ing is a constant task here at Wayne. Assemblies - back in sctiool ig Switch in program ■ry There was a big switch in the assembly pro- gram this year - We had them. Last year, due to the time on task law passed by the state legislature we could no longer have assem- blies or pep sessions. During homecoming we banked time during our passing periods. Instead of the regular five minute pass- ing period the bells were run at a four minute period. We banked up enough time to have a thirty-minute pep session. We built up spirit. The publication ' s depart- ment sold balloons, and the cheerieaders, along with the coaches spoke to the cheer- ing crowds. We tumed around and had another pep session, during the Christmas season. We donated $1,250 to both the Big Brothers Big Sisters Or- ganization, and to the Boy Scouts of Allen county. Stu- dent Council President Marie Mamrick presented the checks to the respective groups. During the week before Christmas Break sev- eral Student Council mem- bers dressed as elves col- lected monies from each classroom during third peri- od. The Latin Club was the biggest money eamer for the charities. The Latin Club raised over $600 during the annual Slave Sale. People went as high as $250, and as low as $2. The slaves prom- ised to do such things as taking their owners for a dovmtown carraige ride, or out for a pizza, or doughnuts and orangejuice first thing in the moming, some of the most dangerous slaves said they would do anything. riot only were assemblies ftjn and mostly interesting, but also educational. The PTA sponsored a program held in the auditorium for Child Sexual Abuse. The film was very revealing. It had interviews from convicted child molesters. The PTA passed out phamlets and other informative papers. On a happier note, the QADD (Generals Against drunk driving) sponsored Bob Stromberg. The man was a riot, said junior Jim Kruse. Stromberg entertain- ed two different audiences with mime and storytelling. The offic ers had seen Strom- berg at a SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving) con- vention in Indianapolis dur- ing July, and asked him to speak to other students at Wayne. ' Dr. White finished up the assemblies with an assem- bly celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King ' s birthday. It was an informative and mov- ing convocation. Along with all the normal class meetings, the assem- blies gave relaxation along with educational informa- tion to WHS students, never- theless time on task was stressed this year. Dr. White made the year seem more like school, than a prison with allowing time off for good behavior. ASSEMBLIES
