Begging for food during the lunch modes. Rick Quinones and Scott Schlie hope they will get some scraps. Actually, they, too, are the victims of their masters during slave day. Latin donates large sum T hroughout the Christmas season, the holiday spirit was evident at Wayne in every aspect. From the elaborately decorated commons, cafeteria, main hall and stairway, to the glistening tree erected in the commons. The Student Council se- lected Big Brothers Big Sisters and Boy Scouts of Allen County as their chari- ties this year. The group, headed by President Marie Hamrick spent many hours planning for the upcoming event. Every day during third period, elves, such as David Heller, Josette Sim- erman, Kris Byerly, Trish and Katie Harrington, and Jill Weriing, not to mention Looking positively ravishing in their new sequined attire, juniors Scott Cornett and Mickey Lawson pay the price for selling themselves as slaves. L others would collect for the charities. The school raised enough money to donate $1,250.00 to each of the charities. Dr. White allowed each of the classes to decorate a sepa- rate section of the building. On the Friday, before Christ- mas break we had a Christ- mas assembly in order to present checks to the chari- ties, and send Wayne stu- dents on a safe and happy holiday. The Latin Club had a big part in the raising of money. The Slave Auction Sale raised over $900. Nrs. Mack and her gang planned the event for weeks. Mrs. Wal- bom offered donuts to her class for the price of $146. Other teachers, administra- tors, and students all help the cause by selling such things as a carriage ride downtown, a pizza party, and some of the sillier people said they would do anything, which is exactly what they did — including wearing diapers and crawl- ing on the lunchroom floor. All in all, the students had a good time, and isn ' t that what school is about? Cringing with embarrassment, se- nior Charita Singleton hopes to sell for a high price at the slave auction. She only hopes that her master won ' t be too cruel. CHRISTMAS

Adding to the fun and loveliness of the Sweetheart Ball, sopho- more Jill Elliott s date Scott Freshman do belong with the crowd. Qrieder pins a beautiful corsage Jeff Boyle and Stacey Miller dance to on her dress. the music of the Feel. Groovin ' to the beat of Ihe Feel, junior Julie Jacques and her date dance the night away. Let me give you a hug. Matt Crates and Sheila Carpenter seem to being enjoying themselves at the first Sweet- heart Ball. Spotlight on new semi-formal dance weetheart Bal Some were dressed in casual Slacks and sportcoats and some wore dressy suits, but all possessed the bubbly atti- tude which helped to con- tribute to the success of the first annual Sweetheart Ball. The publication ' s depart- ment intention was to raise money for the yearbook. The Student Council joined the publication ' s department since this was a first time venture. The dance, held from 8-11 in the commons the evening following Valentine ' s Day was planned many months in advance by the two groups. Letters were sent by the editors of the yearbook and newspaper staff to in- form and invite all students of the school to the ball. This decision to invite all stu- dents to the dance was made when it was discovered that up until this year there was no semi-formal dance in which the underclassmen could participate. Pink, white, and red were chosen for the theme colors and four hours were spent after school the day before the dance preparing the de- corations. The next day sev- eral people returned to the school to put on the finish- ing touches for the dance; only to find all the 250 bal- loons that were blown up the day before on the floor and semi-flat. With a spotlight on them the court consisting of six upperclassmen and six low- erclassmen were recognized during the coronation cere- mony of the dance. Rod Melton and Maria Og- nenoff were crowned king and queen of the dance while Trish Harrington and Mark Werling were crowned princess and prince, respec- tively. The newly crowned people and their court then danced to a special song played by The Feel. The court was a nice idea since males previous (to this dance) were only elected to one court, prom, in which you had to be an upperclass- men, said senior court member Charlie Clayton. ' It ' s the beginning of a new tradition. Everyone agreed that the dance was well worth the effort. SWEETHEART BALL
