Wayne, IN 46819 chool starts up and many students spend time talking in the commons. Chris Doc- tor, Melissa Courvel, and Chris Col- well talk over the days events before leaving Wayne High School for the day. Getting an education is very im- portant, but let ' s face it-the social life is what you ' re going to remember in years to come. In the following pages we have attempted to show the peo- ple at Wayne that they are its MAIN Allen County Public Ubraqr Ft. Wayne, Indiano Another school year has begun. First there were registration days in August. They had a new twist to them; we had our school pictures taken. What a mess! I stood in line for over an hour, said junior Caroline Paulison. We had several complaints from both parents, and students, but 1 think maybe they ' ll get use to it, said publications adviser Mrs. Hart-Hoover. New procedures always cause much confusion. But, after registration we finished watch- There would be many trends during the 86-87 school year. Here senior Kevin Jackson pokes fun at senior James Read ' s new hairstyle. Mohawks were big during the football season. Spirit ran high during the athletic seasons this year. Here the fans show their interest in who is playing on the other team. OPENING ing all the summer soap operas, and began changing our sleeping hours. We had to practice for a few days before we could get up by 6:30 or 7 a.m. I was used to getting up about noon, said senior Julie Lichtsinn. 1 wasn ' t ready for this school stuff yet. But by the end of the summer most stu- dents are ready to come back and see their friends. They miss the Friday night football games, and the many dances. They miss the social life. Students attend high school to learn and to prepare themselves for college or future careers, right? Wrong. Ask 90% of the stu- dent body what they like about school and they will all tell you that it ' s the social as- pect. Let ' s face it, school is one big social hour. A time to catch up on the latest gossip and complain about homework. At the end of summer, when boredom sets in, students get excited about going to school to see all of their old friends, not about getting start- ed on a year ' s full of essays and algebra problems. We come to Wayne and receive an education. We enjoy some classes and hate others, but I ' ve learned a lot. It ' ll pay off when 1 get to college, but I ' ll miss my friends from Wayne High School the most, said junior Josette Simerman. All of the homework and the task of learning can sometimes be a drag, but the non-stop social life here at Wayne is clearly . . . THE MAIN ATTRACTION! Friends in the beginning, and friends to the end. Sophomores Denise Hagler and Yvette Howard take advantage of some close studying time. Losing all faith in the computer keyboard, junior Dawn Payton attempts to communicate with the com- puter by speaking into an ice cream cone. Many Sen- try staff members have temporary fits of insanity such as this during the year. Supporting the volleyball team, junior Tricia Har- rington sits contently for the start. 1 love to be a part of the crowd in the stands during the volleyball games! Teacher solidarity was a big issue at the beginning of the school year. Here, a few disgruntled teachers discuss the problem of not having a contract. About four hundred teachers protested, dressed in red. to get the attention of the school board. OPENING We have definitely started off the year with some main attrac- tions. First the teachers, still have no contract, and we ' ve seen them march around the downtown Grile Adminis- tration building several times, drawing the media attention from both the newspaper and television stations. Another main attraction is the upping of the graduation requirements. You have to have 38 credits to graduate. That means Enjoying the food at the Bluffton Street Fair, sen- iors Lori Horvath, Kim Barger. and Kim Ragle feed their faces. The three of them have been best buddies for a long time, and seem to be living up their senior year together. In Mr. Carey ' s trigonometry class, senior Bob Boger sttempts to complete his assignment while Scott Cornett tries to pay attention to the lecture. Trigonometry requires much time and attention, as these students are showing. four years of Englisfi, two years of matfi, and two years of science. It makes it a little hard to take electives, like journalism, and art, said senior Angle Doak. I can see some problems resulting from this. School discipline is always a main attrac- tion. They seemed to be letting up on the dress code this year, said senior Tammie Kiessling. At least less people are getting sent home. We are still told of Pride, Re- spect, and Responsible Behavior. I think we have less of a smoking problem than we had two years ago, said junior Eddie In- gram. We had a good time this year. It seems like the school year is flying by, said Mrs, Hart-Hoover. 1 can ' t seem to do enough in the day. The dances and pep sessions, ballgames and class meetings, all helped to break up the daily routine of classes. But everything boils down to one thing: GS . . . the all-important piece of THE MAIN AT- TRACTION. Whether generating spirit, winning con- tests that couldn ' t be won before, adjusting to new classes and graduation require- ments, or trying to just keep up, we all knew that this year would be like no other year. This year we ' re THE MAIN ATTRAC- TION. Whoa! Sophomore Jeff Carsten seems to be sur- prised by the Wayne photographer at the Bluffton Street Fair. Jill Elliott seems to be trying to catch up. Down at the Bluffton Street Fair, sophomore Bob Ferguson displays his shooting talent at the Army recruiting booth. Ferguson ' s great shots won him a big teddy bear. During her five minute break. Racheal Vergara talks with a friend on the publication ' s office phone. Al- though the phone is normally used for business pur- poses, students like to kick back and chat during a break. Checking out the various colleges, seniors David Hall and Lori Steinman converse on their future plans after high school. This is something all seniors antici- pate-life after graduation. n un ' l( ometimes all that school seems to be is work, work, work. But all of the busy ac- tivities provided many INTERMIS- SIONS for the exhausted Generals. To start off the beginning of a great year, Homecoming provided an escape from all of the work by allowing the students to go crazy during spirit week. Also established, was a friendly rivalry between the almighty seniors and the freshman, sophomores, and juniors. After all of the commotion from Homecoming died down, the students went back into the old school soutine. Nevertheless, the active social life, not uncommon at Wayne, did not die down. The students kept up the spirit and made Wayne a fun place to be. Soon enough, other fun activities aroused and sparked the social life even more than before. For exam- ple, the fall and spring plays, sports gatherings. Slave Day, Christmas activities, the prom, and graduation. INTERMISSIONS, fun, and the all-around social life is no doubtedly the MAIN ATTRACTION at Wayne, because those are the things that will never die. When we remember back in ten years on our high school days, we will remember the fun times. The Homecoming pep ses- sion when the football guys had to kiss a pig, the juniors beating us in powderpuff, and Soger ' s, Read ' s and Follis ' shaved heads, said sen- ior Sheila Jordan. Heck, I ' m going to remember the girls ' volleyball team, stupid things we did in the pub room, and Hart-Hoover yelling all the time. Mrs. Morgan had the best jewelry. She was really trying to be cool! And then there was Julie. She could beat up anybody, and she used to prac- tice on Brenda all the time, said senior Tammy Sheckler. Yea, I ' m gonna miss Wayne High School. No one can ever say that senior Katie Harrington does not have school spirit. During spirit week on crazy day, the teachers saw very few normal students around the halls of Wayne. However, students like senior Laurie Minnick, who are involved in COE, could not participate in the festivities without jeopar- dizing their jobs. INTERMISSION Lookin positively ravishing, freshman Mike Merling decks out in a neato-keen floral print. Werling set a good example for all of the underclassmen who were afraid to go crazy. That was very brave of him because he must have had to put up with a lot of cracks. 1 didn ' t mind though because I had fun. said Werling. The students readily took advantage of the INTERMISSION from the daily mono- tony at Wayne by wearing all the shorts, paint, hats, shades and many more Otherwise il- legal items discouraged of students during any other week. INTERMISSION Drought hits Southeast the the brink of ruin. Several Ft. Wayne area farmers donated grain and hay. They loaded up semi-trucks and train cars to reach the destined area. (AP photo) A drought spread through- out the Southeast during 1986. It was the worst dry spell on record. Even after some rain many farmers in the Carolinas, Georgia, Ten- nesse and Virginia were on President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gor- bachev met in Reykjavik, Iceland, for a two-day summit in October to discuss arms control. The two leaders reached an impasse on testing of the CJ.S. Star Wars weaponry. (AP photo) American journalist arrested and accused spying Jof P viennadiy Zakharov, a Soviet CI.N. employee was arrested on a subway platform in New York City and charged with spying. A week later American journalist Nicholas Daniloff was arrested on the streets of Mos- cow and accused of spying on the Soviet Union. Both men were re- leased within weeks and the entire af- fair set the stage for a superpower Summit meeting in Iceland.

The city of New York gave the Statue of Liberty a big 1986 bash — a fourth of July festival of song, celebrities and fireworks honoring the great lady ' s first 1 00 years. Dancers, singers, movie stars, and ships from all over the world joined in the celebration. The ships surrounded the Statue in the New York Harbor for the Independence Day Festival. A dministra tion under fire Several other newsworthy events happened in 1986. First their was the crisis in the administration: known by Time magazine as Gippergate. The Iran- ian scam. Part of Reagan ' s administration sold guns to Iranians and then they took the money and gave it to the contra rebels in Nicaragua. Reagan still tells the American people that I was not fully in- formed. Another disturbing factor happened in the United States during 1986 is the upswing of drug use. They call it crack on the East Coast and rock on the West Coast. Whatever its name, this refined, smokeable form of cocaine may have been the most addictive narcotic ever sold on the streets. The death of Len Bias has also caused an increased alarm. Several new bills were introduced this year on drug testing. Several work places and professional sporting teams are now urine sampled. On a more positive note, Caroline Kennedy wed Edwin Schlossberg in Mass., on July 19, 1986. Fer- gie married Prince Andrew at Westminster Abbey in a spectacle of pomp and glory. In the Phillipines there was turmoil; after 20 years of ruling Ferdinand Marcos was forced from office amid new charges of corruption and scandal. The new president, Corazon Aquino, was faced with political and economic prob- lems. NATIO.l AL NEWS Juniors beat seniors in annual game, White allows second game Spirit Week is here!! The Main At- traction of Spirit Week was the powder-puff football games. Since the seniors had the championship from the pre- vious year they were privi- leged to play two games this season. Tuesday, which was crazy day, was the day that the seniors went up against the soph-frosh team. The seniors were all fired up for the game and crazy was the perfect word to describe the outcome of the game. But the game had a switch in plans even thought the seniors won 6-0, the soph-frosh team put up a fighting battle and possibly could have dominated the seniors. Senior coach Todd Leamon said The soph-frosh team had a great defense, I was surprised. The big event happened when the ju- niors, class of 88 , won the game 6-0 and became the new powder-puff champs. Junior coach Brian Hanson, amused about the game explains, Once we put everything aside, the field being muddy, and we were being accused of cheating, the seniors put up a good game. (Jnfortunatly for the seniors, the score ended 6-0 ju- niors. With a look of anguish, senior Amy Henry watches as the senior powder-puff team gets beat. While the senior girls managed to beat the freshman and sopho- mores, the junior team beat them, 6-0. We played a good and we rear ;i to win, but just overpc Excited about the game, junior Dave Zimske commented, 1 though the girls did a real good job considering the condition of the field. Even though we did not have half the players we had desire. Well, senior Kevin Jackson explained, We played a good game and we really wanted to win, but the juniors just overpowered us. Taking a different ap- proach, Jim Read said, I did not think the game went as well for the seniors as I ex- pected. The girls had fun at practices, but they were mostly there to socialize. All in all it was a good experience. We had fun! During half-time for more thrilling excite- ment, the big wheel race was in competi- tion. First and number one, the Bud Crew glided through and wrapped up first place with a snap. Showing her Wayne pride, sophomore Melissa Cost immulated the idea behind spirit week. It was really fun to dress up this way. Cost commented. Enjoying the experience of playing in the powder- puff game, sophomore Caralee Gregory didn ' t mind getting beat. It was a lot of fun just to be out there with my friends. SPIRIT WEEK Players receive Kisses Spirit week always a welcome sight The agenda of Wayne High School al- ways looks forward to one week- Spirit Week. Monday was Pacific Hawaiian day. Ev- eryone wore their flowered shirts and shorts, not to mention the punkiest jewe- lery to go with the outfit. Tuesday followed with crazy day. Be- lieve me, you never knew the word crazy until you saw the things that the students did on this day. The student body came to school looking like their mothers, grandpar- ents, dogs and objects that look like they had been through the garbage disposal. Tuesday everyone went all out. Thursday was a different day for Wayne High School. It was time for the Romans and Greeks to come out of the clos- ets. Toga day was a thrilling day and the sheets were donated to Hospice. At the end of the day a pepses sion was held in the gym. Sen- iors dominated the pepsession with spirit and enthusiasm. The senior class won the victory cry and the senior football players received a very wet kiss from a special, plump pig- Spirit week turned out to be a wild and outgoing week for the students of Wayne High School. With a cold heart, senior Julie Lichtsinn looks south- ward toward the forboding scoreboard realizing that time is running out. Senior Julie Schmela looks on with despair. Painted faces makes for a fun atmosphere during the spirit week festivities. Chris Mesing and Doug Garr show off their glowing faces. A9 SPIRIT WEEK Get out of my face Time to rise and shine Zzzzzzzzzzz Oh God! 6:30 and time to get up. My body feels lifeless. MOOOOM, I can ' t go to school to- day, I ' m sick! (No answer). Guess that mean ' s I go to school. 6:40 and still in bed. I finally saved enough energy to go to the bathroom. On my way, little brother runs ahead and slams the door. I almost fall asleep waiting but I hear mom yell, Get down here and eat! By the time 1 get to the kitchen, eggs are cold so I ' ll grab some doughnuts on the way to school. Back upstairs, I yell to my broth- er, Get out of the bathroom or I ' ll rip the heads off your He-Man toys! I finally get in and do all the necessities for the morning. I ' m ready for school now. 1 go down- stairs. O ! I forgot to turn my stereo off. Mother ' s growing impatient, she has my lunch waiting on the table. She seems to forget that I ' m a junior in high school. 1 get in my car with 10 minutes to get to school. I don ' t live too far away. This is good, my car won ' t start. Any hope of getting to school is now a fantasy. The bus has already left. I decide to give her one last shot. THANK YOCJ GOD!!! My stomach feels like it hasn ' t had food for a year, 1 have a head- ache, and I know I ' ll fail my chem- istry test. Going to school was a bad idea. In the schools commons, I ' m surprised I arrived in the first peri- od, and disappointed no one stuck around to see my entrance well life ' s a ! !

O Burger Dairy feeds the masses You wake up late, grab your change and go There you are . . . stretched out on the couch watching your favorite Satur- day morning cartoon when it hits you ... the URGE to SPLURGE! In a hurry you take a brush through your hair and put on your glasses as the hunger pains worsen. Suddenly you hear a voice arising from the midst of your stomach crying, Burg- er Dairy, Burger Dairy! Off you go, out into the busy morning rush hour traffic to suffice your hunger. Ahhh!!!! The aroma of freshly made dough- nuts and cookies fill your nose as you walk into the store. You order two chocolate cov- ered doughnuts, and an apple fritter. Heck while you ' re at it, why not buy a little carton of milk? There you have it, the perfect be- ginning to a perfect day. Thanks Burger Dairy! Eating her cream of wheat before school, Shelly Eddleman prepares for a long day at Wayne. Shelly loves cream of wheat! Showing her favorite breakfast entries, Holly Sprunger flashes her pickles and Pepsi at the camera. Holly loves the conveniences of Burger Dairy. You wake up late for school and you have twenty minutes to do forty minutes worth of getting ready. You see that before you mom left for work, she made your lunch, but forgot to make your breakfast. No problem. You just grab a handful of spare change and hit Burger Dairy. There, you made it in time for first peri- od and your stomach won ' t growl in history. Thanks Burger Dairy! Just about any time of the day you can find someone you know hanging out at Burger Dairy. Kim Barger and I go there every morning before school to buy a doughnut. Lori Horvath confesses. It has become a popular place to go in the last year or so. I personally like Burger Dairy because it ' s the only place that sells cold Jolt, comments junior Jill Fitzharris. I ' ve probably bought enough Jolt there to send the manager on a weekend cruise to the Bahamas! I don ' t think I would have made it through the six hours every Saturday morning of washing muddy football uniforms in stag- nant water without their bavarian creams and cherry turnovers! confides Susan Turner. Whether you want to buy pop, M M ' s, pixie sticks, or whatever it is that lets you hang loose, you can always count on Burg- er Dairy to have it. Most people come in to buy pop, cigarettes, and gas, said senior Jim Kruse who works at Burger Dairy. For the people who work there, it ' s not all play. Sophomore Shannon Dickmeyer has a lot of fun working at Burger Dairy, but agrees with her fellow worker Jim that there are a lot of responsibilities that go along with the job. One good thing about working at Burger Dairy is that you can always work with your friends. Recently, however, two workers got switched to a new store. I like the old store better than the new one, Corey Zimmerman said. At the old store two people work together but at the new store you work alone. MORNINGS New Queen crowned Rain doesn ' t spoil evening. Though a light rain fell on the Home- coming game, it in no way dam- pened the high spirits of the energet- ic General fans. Everyone was ready to cheer on the football team in their fight against Northside. Although Northside made a touch- down in the first quarter, the Generals managed to hold them there until halftime. The muddy field, a result of the rain that fell all week, did nothing to help the players. The slipperly hands and loss of footage made the team fall further behind, letting Northside make the score go higher and higher. Despite the Generals hard struggle to win, Northside beat Wayne, 35-0. Losing the game, however, didn ' t dim or mar the special night. At halftime, the Homecoming court assembled in front of the stadium bleachers. The Homecoming court this year consisted of freshman mem- bers Christina Ognenoff and Keeya Chap- man. Sophomore members were Niki Forb- ing and Jill Elliot. The two juniors on the court were Lisa Kendrix and Trisha Harring- ton. The four senior members were Maria Ognenoff, Jackie Colderbank, Katie Har- rington, and Elaine Reust. Pucker up! Coach Lake prepares to kiss the pig in order to generate spirit for tine Homecoming game. When the big moment came, there was a sounding of trumpets, and Maria Ognenoff was crowned the 1986-87 Homecoming Queen. It is the biggest hon- or of my senior year! Maria exclaimed, I ' ll remember that moment forever. The crowning was followed by a spectacular fireworks dis- play. It was a very impres- sive show of fireworks. I real- ly enjoyed them, commented Maria ' s escort, Jim Kruse. The game was immediately followed by the annual Homecoming dance, which was done by Unique Lighting and Sound. Stu- dents danced the night away, and all in all, it was a very special night for everyone. Waiting for tlie defense to do its job, receiver Nate Tubbs watches the Homecoming game.

Seniors sliow tbeir spirit at the pep session that ended spirit week and got the players ready for the game. VI-C-T-O-R-Y! That ' s the Wayne bat- tlecry. The cheerleaders help to build up Wayne spirit at the pep sessions. We ' re really lucky that Dr. White has found a way to have pep sessions. The students really enjoy them, said senior Jim Kruse. During the fall, the volleyball team and cross-country teams offered Wayne a lot to get fired up about. The boys ' went to state and the girls ' also had a fine finish against Muncie Burris at the Semi-State held in Marion. We also had the annual Homecom- ing pep session. The athletes seem to really appreciate the rec- ognition, and the class competi- tions really get the crowd go- ing, said cheerleader Karen DeRose. School can sometimes be so restricting. It ' s nice that school can also offer fun times like these, said Mi- chelle Aldred. The band also takes part in the pep sessions with the never failing morale booster, our own school song, so let ' s keep up the spirit. FT. WAYNE WAYNE! HOMECOMING Experiencing Breaking away Wt was my first time on skis. I had I the best time. Kruse was great. JfcHe kept shooting pictures all day, said senior Tammy Correll. Most of us had never been on skis before, but we really had a good time. Mrs. Hart-Hoover decided that the pres- sures of the publications ' deadlines had tak- en their toll on the students and decided to take a break. It was really hard for me because this was during the time we were working on the contract. But, we had al- ready sent in our money, and 1 felt it was the first time from Deadlines. something we really needed to do as a group, said Hart-Hoover. I had a great time. I woke up the next morning and was sooo sore. 1 started out on the bunny slope, and by the afternoon we were all on the advanced, said sophomore Lisa Reyes. The best part was riding on the ski lifts, said Maria Ognenoff. I think this is something we should do every year. Giving support to those who need it, Jim Kruse, Tammy Correll, and Lisa Reyes hold each other up. Skiing really shows who you can depend on. Making it look easy, first-time skier Tammy Correll goes up the rope. Trips like these make all the hard work worth it. (P Taking to the Slopes inter is a time when cleaning liouse, watchiing T.V., and drink- ing cocoa pass the long hours of those Saturday afternoons. But this winter many Wayne High School students will ex- perience the art of skiing for their first time, and many al- ready have. Brian Hansen, a junior, has been skiing for quite awhile and thought it would be fun to get some friends together and hit the slopes. Well that ' s just what they did. Sandy Tsiguloff was one of the eager in- experienced skiers, It was my first time and it was so embarrassing, I fell about three or four times. But by the end of the day I was actually on the big hill. That ' s how many people feel about skiing, it ' s hard, but by the end of the day you have got the hang of it. Although downhill skiing is most peo- ples ' first choice, and many agree that you have to have the right attitude for cross- country skiing, many students have been caught scooting along the Fox Island course. This winter has been one of the Modeling her ski bunny outfit, sophomore Erin Hoi- ston tries to look as if she belonged. Erin was a first- time skier at Swiss Valley and did quite well, hitting only one hay bail. The snow was sparse, but the water was great at Cannonsburg. The Pub staff skiers hope to hit the slopes again next winter. Wear more than one pair of socks . . . and never for- get your sun- biggest turnouts for skiing there. In order to do all of this skiing though, you must have the right equipment. According to the local dealers, skis, boots, poles, and bindings could cost from $285 to $800 or more depending on the quality. But most first time skiers rent for the first couple of times to see if they like it or not. Complete rental ski pack- ages run from $13.50 to $15 a day, $24 to $27.50 for a weekend and up to $60 for a week. But what if you ' re planning to buy? Fort Wayne skiers have four places to buy their equipment: Roots, Ski Pole, Water- meister Sports, and Herman ' s World of Sporting Goods. Now all you have to do is learn how to ski. It isn ' t difficult, but it does take time and concentration. Most resorts offer begin- ner lessons and there are slopes varying in difficulty. If you are interested in lessons you should check the resort you ski at most frequently. Lessons range from $5 to $10 an hour for a group and $15 to $30 for private lessons. Skiers are recommended to dress for the weather. What if you don ' t own a ski suit? Well Sandy Tsiguloff recommends long Johns with jeans over them, more than one pair of socks, a turtleneck, sweatshirt, gloves and never forget your sunglasses.

TIte iuncA casliiers went all out on Halloween as they dressed up in Halloween costumes. Judy Simer- man surprised many of the students. Dressed up in costumes, the cafete- ria workers tried to add a little bit of excitment to the Halloween Day. Mrs. Simerman and several other ladies in the cafeteria gave the students a nice sur- prise during the lunch modes. Not only did the cafeteria workers dress for the occassion, but the Key Club dressec and took balloons and treats to the children that were in Luthern Hospital over Hallow een. The club is sponsored by Don Hamm, and the club president is Nathan Herber. It was a good feeling to r-- ke someone ' s day. HALLOWEEN The children were so appreciative said Maria Ognenoff. Several of the children had been in the hospital for some length of time. One fourteen-year-old boy was in for a broken leg. He said he had been there for about a month. I think we cheered him up, said Jean Harmon. Seniors sponsor Halloween Dance T ' he senior class sponsored a Hallo- weendance, Friday, October 31. Many of the students iiere at Wayne celebrated Halloween by go- ing to the dance. The senior class pushed costumes to make this dance a little more special! The ticket prices were $2.50 with costume and $3.50 without a costume. About 90% of the students joined in on the spirit of the night and wore cos- tumes. Most of the students in costumes went to great lengths to compete in the costume contest. The judges for the contest were Mr. Orne- las, Dr. White, and Mr. Peters. Senior Joy Altenburg won first place for the girls; dress in disguise as an old man. It was so much fun. I came to the dance and didn ' t tell any- one who I was. 1 flirted with a couple of the girls, and when they found out who I was Looking creepy and enjoying at the dance was i mysterious creature. Come to find out it was Jose Ramirez at the Hallloween dance. Let the elders dance Sheila Rogers and Cara Lee Gregory went all out for the Hallloween dance. They borrowed the masks from senior Amy Henry. . - 4 ■ - r 1 i- ' . ' V H s SV 1 ♦ « they almost died, said Altenburg. As for the guys ' competition, Scott Ryan took first place, dressed as a member of the rock band KISS. The students who attend- ed the dance seemed to en- joy it and are hoping for an- other Halloween dance next year. Who knows; maybe the seniors this year have start- ed a new tradition for the Hal- loween holiday. Cara Lee Gregory and Sheila Rogers came as two old people. They were great! Cara Lee had a pipe, and Sheila had the knee-high hose rolled down around her ankles, said Stacy Sorg. The commons filled with orange smoke and a mysterious aura took over as Sounds One provided the music for the rowdy crowd. The dance seemed to end early. But, most of the guests had other parties, hay- rides, and trick-or-treating to take care of. 1 had a hayride, and 1 think everyone had a good time, said senior Elaine Reust. One last look at the full moon, and Hal- loween was over again; until next year. We invited you to attend all the haunted houses, and the Halloween dance ... if you dared.

HALLOWEEN Stoker finishes 25th at State Girls beaten by State Champion, Burns Owls 44 We couldn ' t believe that we made it to state, said senior cross-country run- ner Jim Kruse. We worked hard all year, and we just kept ourselves together as a team, as a family. The boys ' cross-country team suffered early in the season, but came on strong during the finale. At the Man- chester invitational Carl Stoker and Kruse finished with top honors for the Wayne team. The team also finished fourth in the SAC meet; looking at a possi- ble sectional win. The Generals were only picked to finish fourth, but with Jason Dick- meyer, Stoker, and Kruse pullin out all stops, the Generals came home with the sectional championship trophy. At the regional Wayne barely came in under the wire by placing fourth. The Gen- erals placed by beating out state-ranked Snider. At the semi-state Wayne placed three runners in the top eight. In Indianapolis at the state meet the golf course was crowded with runners from all over the state, family, friends, and yes, col- lege coaches doing some serious scouting. Our team was plagued with sickness. Kruse had the flu, and the whole team As one of the cross-country teams most adament supporters, Mrs. Stoker attends the State finals in Indianapolis.

Stoker fin- ished with a 25th placing to top out for the Generals. The boys ' had sev- eral fans to help cheer them on. Not only did the fans cheer the boys on in Indy, but then they traveled to Marion to watch the girls ' volleyball team take on Muncie Burris in the championship round of the semi-state. First the Generals defeat- ed Greenfield, and it was on to the ultimate match of the night — Wayne vs. Burris. Wayne was defeated by Burris in two games in the final. Burris was a great team, said senior volleyball player Jill Homrig. They really have what it takes to be a state-ranked team. Burris went on to win the girls ' state match. For a second year in a row the Mun- cie Burris Owls were number one in girls ' volleyball in Indiana. Executing one of her powerful serves against Greenfield Central, senior Tammy Correll hopes for a point. Tammy has been chosen All SAC setter for three years. Standing in line at the end of the race, sophomore Chad Muzzillo and junior Rob Steinbacher wait for their place cards. The Generals, as a team, placed 15th. STATE SHOWINGS Big void in v ' ball next season Burris beats Wayne and continues to No. 1 The volleyball team was made up of six seniors, two sophomores, and two juniors. The seniors are truly go- ing to be missed by next year ' s team. Jill Homrig, Tammy Correll, Katie Harrington, and Suzanne Pfeiffer were regular starters for the Generals. Dawn Tucker started the season in a starting position. Both Homrig and Correll were named to All-SAC. Paula Ritchhart was named to the second team. The seniors were definitely the leaders on the team, Cor- rell and Homrig were the captains. When looking back on the semi- state game, Burris deserved to win. They ' re an awesome team, said Correll. I ' m just glad I had such a good senior year. The look on sen or Carl Stokers ' face shows just how determined he is for a top placement. Carl led the Generals in the race and placed 25th out of approxi- mately 150 runners. Eyeing tke ball carefully, senior Suzanne Pfeiffer prepares to dig up a serve from Muncie Burris.

Junior Paula Ritchhart and for- eign exchange student Marielle Dobbles enjoy the Christmas festivities. The Ch ristmas spirit rolled into Wayne, and it seemed everyone had a smile on their face. Some students were looi ing forward to spending time with relatives and friends that have gone away to college over the two week vacation. Paula Ritchhart and Marielle Dobbles, the foreign exchange student, have grown close during the year. They played volley- ball together in the fall, and they both still hang around together. Friends are easy to make at Wayne, said Dobbles. People are really friendly here. I ' ve enjoyed my time, but I ' m anxious to get back to my own country. Not only do the students hang out together at school, but also on the weekends. Pizza Hut, and Southtown Mall are the biggest hangouts. We see a lot of movies too. Video arcades seem to be a thing of the past. No one goes there any- more, said Kelly Boeck. Any- thing is okay doing, as long as your with friends, said Boeck. J C ' wzm Auction highlights festivities Didier ' s class won morning brea, Christmas came once again to Wayne, spreading holiday cheer throughout the school. The com- mons, hallways, main stair- way, and cafeteria were all draped in decorations to re- flect the spirit of the season. During this time of giving the annual Christmas Project was selected, and the money for Daybreak was collected. After two weeks of collecting funds, over $3000 was raised to help the organization. The money was presented during a school assembly that also featured the shaving of Dr. White ' s beard to help the cause. White ' s beard brought over $130. Mrs. Bartkiewicz was out with her straight edge and razor strap. Television stations were there to record the event. Many Wayne students couldn ' t wait to see them- selves on the 6 o ' clock news.

The student council members collected money during third period. They also had a raffle. They raffled off things such as toast- er ovens, gift certificates to restaurants, pens and pencils, radios, and groceries. Mr. Didier ' s class won the class donation.

The dance was held despite the fact that the teachers were in the midst of a work slow down due to the lack of a contract. The students and many parents, how- ever, managed to pull off a successful dance. The traditional pink, white and red were chosen again this year as the theme colors. The afternoon was spent decorating the commons by students and parents chaper- ones. A new touch was added this year by putting balloon trees around the dance floor. Carnations were donated by the cheerleaders to use as centerpieces. The court, consisting of six upper class- men and six under classmen, coronation ceremony.

Tender moments were shared among most of the couples at the Sweetheart ' s Ball. Seeming to be in their own world, junior Paula Ruble and her date hold each other close. Taking time out to rest their tired feet from all the dancing, sophomores Rachel Brook, Denny Saylor, Sandy Newsome, and Carlos Ortiz converse among themselves. Refreshments were also available for the hungry couples. Decking out for the occasion, Brian McClellan and his date Jenny Miller sway to the pulsating mucis of Sounds Music. Sounds One is a favorite DJ for Waynes ' dances. SWEETHEARTS BALL Meat crowned as King Work slow down doesn ' t stop semi-formal. Teachers negotiations did not halt any Sweetheart ' s Ball preparations this year. Nominations for court, deco- rating, and cooking went on as planned. The 1987 court consisted of freshman Ali Nagel, and sophomores Kathy Stanc- zak, Stacy Sorg, Jeff Carsten, Don Klejnot, and Josh Forbing. The upperclassman were represented by juniors Trish Harring- ton, and Brian Hansen, and seniors, Jerry Barker, Jim Read, Kate Harrington, and Elaine Reust.

Prince Jeff Carsten, King Jim Read, and Queen Elaine Reust. SWEETHEARTS BALL Crew cuts make comeback I just had to prove I had guts. What a gay! Senior Dave Follis started the craze after shaving his head for football season. It started a whole new trend at Wayne. Following the crowd, Jim Read and Bob Boger also shaved their head for football. Thank goodness they let their hair grow back after the season was over. Buzzes and mohawks seemed to be the style for many of the guys here at Wayne. Namely one student, Jim Read, shaved his hair off just because it was his senior year. Also, commented Read, Follis didn ' t think I would do it, so I had to shave it just to prove 1 had the guts. Read is one of those students who like to show their spirit for the Generals. He is also a four year varsity football member, and commented that not only did his mohawk save him the k of combing his hair, but it also helped his ' tjtude in football. After football season ended, Read let his hair grow back to its normal length. Not because his Wayne spirit died, but because he need- ed insulation for the cold winter months. KEEPING UP WIT, THE TRENDS Fashions repeat themselves, generation after generation LN C It ' s a blast from the past! Today ' s fash- ions are like talking a walk down mem- ory lane. Ask your parents; they wore most of these styles when they were in their teens. These styles date way back to the 1920 ' s, which is where we get the bob from. If you were a flapper, or swing- , er, then you had a bob! With the 1930 ' s came the leg- gings, which are being worn under mini skirts with a big shirt and lay- ered socks, or even under bermuda shorts. Now let ' s skip the 40 ' s and go on to those ever popular 50 ' s. Big belts, bobby socks, and crew cuts were all the go in those years. To look through the halls of Wayne, one would almost think it was the 50 ' s all over again. Girls are wearing the big belts with just about anything from miniskirts to Guess jeans, said sophomore Stacy Miller. Socks are layered, with jeans tucked in or Another craze to ft t Wayne and the country was the banana clip. Kristy Heidelburg pulls back her blonde locks. Socks, socks, and more socks Girls not only wore more than one pair of socks, but the boot shoe was also popular this year. out, depending upon who ' s wearing them. Shaved heads, also dotted the hails as many of the guys found how easy it was to have no hair. Along with the 60 ' s came tight skirts, long or short. To- day, those same skirts are being worn casually or total- ly dressed up. Flat tops were also in style in the 60 ' s. Many guys also choose to get the flat top today. Finally into the 70 ' s and 80 ' s. Gold hoops were totally vogue in the 70 ' s and they still are now. Bulky sweaters, big T-shirts, and also a more masculine line of clothes mark the 80 ' s. The Outback Red line at The Limited is a good example of the outdoor look! As you can see, it is definitely a blast from the past, as we use and re-use the styles of yesterday. Let the silver hoops show, the bigger the better. Amy Nagel shows off only one pair of her many hoops. Hoop earrings really made a come back in KEEPING UP WITH THE TRENDS New addition to Fort Wayne Team filled with vouna players He shoots, he scores!!! This was the cry of many fans this year attend- ing Flames and Komets games. The Flames were a new fran- chise this year as they joined the A.I.S.A. (American In- door Soccer Association). They played their home games at the Allen County Memorial Coliseum, the same place the Komets play. The Flames had a rough and difficult season which resulted in the firing of former head coach Cliff Brown. Taking over the new coaching job was Tom Alioto, a player coach for the Flames. The Flames had a lot of rookies coming out of college. Soccer is a new game to Fort Wayne. I ' m proud of the fan support. Is it really over? Flames coach Tom Alioto is in disgust after another tough loss. The Flames were involved in many one goal games this season. Alioto took over the coaching job after ex-coach Cliff Brown got fired half-way through the season. one is former LaSalle star forward Bobby Poursanidis and Dan O ' Keefe forward, he was a big key to their success, O ' Keefe played for the University of Southern Illinois. They both lead the big group of Ameri- cans on the Flames team. The Flames have a lot of young stars that will become key players in the future, stated Poursanidis, Soccer is a new game to Fort Wayne. I ' m proud of the fan support . Al- though the Flames had a losing season, they never gave up. One thing for sure is that soccer is here to stay. Love Fort Wayne, Collin Chin talks to the crowd after being awarded the player of the game, Chin is also a Fort Wayne native. Are we having fun yet? After a battling first half, members of the team go into the locker room to dis- cuss their plans for the second half. ' 2S£ESJiM KOMETS, FLAMES tm Finishing numero uno Climbing the ladder to success The Fort Wayne Komets had a dream come true season, after a slow start the Komets moved from last place to first. One of the major things that hap- pened to the Komets was that they filed for bankruptcy, since then attendance has im- proved drastically. Another thing was that, for only the second time in the history of the Komets, a Fort Wayne native played for them-center Colin Chin. Chin helped the Ko- mets in every aspect; attendance, scoring, and tradition that an American-born hocl ey player can be a great player! Also the Ko- mets had a pair of twins on the team. Perry and Paul Pooley who proved to be frequent goal scorers. With the superb coaching of coach Robbie Laird, the Komets were sure to be winners. What awesome feet, Alan Bodenstein and no. 18 Tod Barret celebrate after a Flames goal. They had a disappointing year, but besides the losing record, they never gave up. Two for one. Perry and Paul Pooley were a pair of twins on the Komets this year, the Pooleys were a big part of the Komets success. Although it was hard to tell which was which. FORT WAYNE PRO CLUBS A year of school waiting Foreign exchange students enjoys tennis. As for Fredrick Skarendahl, 18, he feels that the teenagers are the big- gest difference. Fredrick also has a year of school waiting for him when he re- turns to Sweden. Speaking English for seven years, Fre- drick easily understands those talking to him. Fredrick, like Mikal, plays for the Wayne tennis team. By doing so he has gained a lot of new friends. When Fredrick is home he occupies him- self by playing squa sh. Squash he explains, Is a lot faster than tennis and the raquet used in playing squash is much small- er. After returning home, Fredrick plans to attend the University of Sweden and major in Econom- From the looks of it, Mikal Svenson seems to enjoy reading American poetry; but as they say, lool s can be deceiving. Mikal seems to like it iiere at Wayne, and as usual, foreign exchange students are always a big hit. Eyeing tlie ball so that he can execute a smashing forehand, Fredrick Skarendahl gets into position. Most exchange students participate in tennis, ?s it is a popu- lar sport in Europe. P FOREIGi EXCHANGE STUDENTS Rotrucks host students Back home not choos classes, they them for us. This year Wayne is playing host to three foreign exchange students, Mi- kal Svenson, Fredricl Sl arendahl, and Marielle Dobbles. Mikal and Fredrick are staying with the Rotrucks. The Rotruck ' s house two ex- change students every year, and this year is no exception. This Christmas will be in- teresting for the two because they will be meeting with Axel Kravatzky, one of last year ' s ex- change students. Axel will be spending the holidays with the Rotrucks. Both Mikal and Fredrick express good feelings about spending Christmas with the Rotrucks and for the year. Mikal, 17, flew over from Copenhagen, Denmark over the past summer and will be staying until late July. He decided to visit the U.S. when he heard about the student exchange program. While at Wayne Mikal Attending Wayne In her own style is Marielle Dob- bles. Although she enjoys Wayne, she comments that the citohes are a year behind and the food is not as good as in Belgium. Being the only girl exhange student didn ' t bother Marielle Dobbles. She participated on the varsity vol- leyball team, becoming involved in the activity and making new friends. we can- e the choose participated on the tennis and soccer team. After Mikal returns home to Denmark he has one year of school left. As soon as he finishes his last year of school, he plans to attend a university majoring in biol- ogy or physics. When asked what he likes best about the U.S., he said, The school system is much better here. Back home we cannot choose the classes, they choose them for us. I also like the way you play sports after school, in Denmark we have to play in clubs. Not only can Mikal speak English but he also knows how to speak French, German, and Danish. His favorite subject here at Wayne is Trigonometry. He claims he likes the challenge. The only female exchange student is Marielle Dobbles, 18. She is from Ostend, Belgium. Marielle participates on the Wayne volleyball team and plans to try out for the basketball and track team later this year. Marielle loves to travel and has been to Spain, France, England, and now America. She orginally wanted to go to France in the foreign exchange student program, but France was to close to home and the G.S. was her next choice. Listening intently to the teacher, Fredrick Skaren- dahl tries to comprehend the American ways. Fredrick would rather be at home watching television, which is his favorite American pastime. FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENTS H ' i Holding a few hands Council helps out with bloodmobile Student Council members try to get involved w ith several projects dur- ing the year. Many of the members volunteered time to work at the Bloodmo- bile. They passed out cookies, water, and pop. They were also around just to give support to some of the donors. Sometimes the first-time donors are very apprehensive. We try to help them out and calm them down a little, said Student Council President Katie Harrington. We had a lot of fun helping out, said Josette Simerman. The only problem was that we kept eating the cookies all day. Student Council also helped out with the Health Career Day in the fall. It was a first time effort by Wayne, said Har- rington. The students were really cooperative. Mr. Bob Ornelas is the sponsor of the club. In desperate need for some moral support, senior Kevin Dalman calls over senior Mark Littleford to get his mind off the needle. The nurses don ' t like students milling around the tables, but there are always excep- tions. Energizing herself with some cookies, senior An- gle Lordier takes advantage of the free food. Students Council members Trish Harrington and Josette Simer- man assisted the volunteers in the canteen. BLOODMOBILE Feeding the Masses Drip, drip, drip. The blood dripped into tiie pint bag, filling torturously slow to the top. For many, giving blood was just about the most terrifying ordeal that they had to live through. I ' ve never been more nervous in my life! ' 9 ' • This is even worse than entS, lying to my parents, Barker commented senior Jerry Barker. For others, however, giving blood was no big deal. As Jim Read said, I didn ' t think it was that bad. The cookies were good and we got free pop that made it all worth- while. Many others echoed Read ' s opinion of the food that was sort of traded for blood. The cookies and pop are brought by the Red Cross to help the students to recu- perate after giving as much as one pint of blood. It seems to console students to think that after they are done, food will be waiting Preparing for the big moment, sophomore Ted Bowser gives the essential information to the nurse. Most students have no problems giving blood, but some get a little queezy at the sight of blood. Thankful to have passed all of the requirements, senior Jeremy Rodocker and junior Brian Hansen await their turn. They are both second time donors. for them. Everything was fine until they ran out of Deluxe Grahams, said blood donor Dave Orr. Shaun Imbody said, The food was great! Wayne participates in the annual blood drives, both in the fall and the my par- spring. John Sawyer and — Terry student council work scheduling the students and staff to give during the school day. You can bet I always try to schedule my time during my least favorite class, said Jason Gallo- way. I have my third period class, and 1 made sure that ' s when I scheduled my blood donation. Each year, various High Schools in the Allen-Wells district compete for the title of The Highest Percentage in blood donation. Wayne captured this title for the 1986-87 school year with a 318% donation of blood. This percentage exemplified the students dedication to their school and community. Being a little nervous, Terry Washington prepares to give blood for the first time. Terry is one of the only sophomores to give blood this year, because it is re quired to be 17 in order to donate. BLOODMOBILE Try-outs held for both seasons This year there was a tremendous amount of changes in cheerleading for the fall season. The girls tried out for the fail season in the spring time of the previous year. For the football season the varsity cheerleading squad consisted of Amy Na- gel, Jean Harman, Michelle Aldred, Stacy Sorg, Gwen Fuller, Lisa Jones, and Becky Wilhelm. The reserve squad started off with Karen DeRose, Stacy Phillips, Angie Puff, Diane Reese and Missy Stewart. Finally, the newcomers of our school, the freshmen squad consisted of Amanda Dunn, Jennifer Dunton, Leslie Miller, All Nagel an Kay Springer. Not only did the squad change, but the mascot and sponsors changed as well. Junior Jim Heinrich was the mascot for the fall season. He explains, 1 wanted to be the General because 1 like to get rowdy and I didn ' t think anybody else was crazy enough to do the job. Coach Tracy Gerardot tells us, I wanted to coach the squad because 1 like to get back into the sport. 1 love cheerleading, and being a part of it again thrills me. She helped us so much. It made us want to try to do well just so we could please her and the crowd, says Freshman Ali Nage. Sponsor Carolyn Harman helped out with the paperwork and financial part of I wanted to help out in cheerleading, and being involved with my daughter is what I really enjoy. cheerleading, and being involved with my daughter is what 1 really enjoy said Har- man. During the middle of the season came Homecoming and the first pep session of the year. Cheerleaders got together and had a pig show up for this event. Each senior foot- ball player received a kiss. The students went crazy, said Nagel. The new cheerleaders from the squad loved football session and were glad they tried out. Junior Lisa Jones explains, We had hard times at first, but in the long run we had a fantastic time, and we became much closer. Basketball try-outs came and some cheerleaders got switched around. New cheerleaders for the basketball season were sophomore Carrie Colderbank and Kathy Gannon for the varsity squad. Julie Sea- man represented Wayne on the reserve squad, while freshmen Toni Shilling got a spot on the freshmen squad. Everyone tried hard and did a great job, said Gerar- dot. Leading the National Antliem, the cheerleaders helped to get the students motivated. They didn ' t have to try very hard because during Homecoming, the school was rowdier than at any other time of the year. Cheering the seniors on, sophomore Gwen Fuller screams at the top of her lungs. In the battle for the loudest and rowdiest, the Spirit Stick went to the Sen- Kissing a pig was probably the last thing senior Bob Munoz wanted to do. Rowdie events such as these occured during a Homecoming pep session which raised spirit and brought the social scene to a peak. • Is ' . .is-ll Skt t m 1 J jl Ib 1 1 V Heinrich takes over for Stoker General carries Wayne ' s fans John Heinrich moved to Wayne last year from Homestead. He came to us, and said he wanted to be the Gen- eral. Carl said he was too buzy with track and cross-country so he couldn t do it this year. We were happy to have him, said junio r cheerleader Amy Nagel. Heinrich talked with the sponsor and Dr. White and decided to be the General mas- cot for both football and basketball sea- sons. The General is there to help build the crowd ' s spirit. He works with mostly the students to get them to cheer with the cheerleaders, said Nagel. Heinrich comes to all the prac- tices. He really wants to work with us. None of the other Generals ever came to work with us, said ju- nior Jean Harmon. He has some funny ideas though . . . for example during Home coming he kept asking the administration if he could get a horse to ride during half- time to build spirit. I guess Dr. White thought that was a little outrageous! said Nagel. Leading the Generals through the school song, ju- nior Amy Nagel executes the routine. The entire stu- dent body sang along during the many repetitions played by the band. Generally speaking, John Heinrich made an exce lent mascot. Heinrich participated in all of the boys ' athletic functions. M ?i CHEERLEADERS Keeping up the standards Wayne rates high in cleanliness W can ' t get over how friendly the I student body here is, said Lou mAnn Watson, one of the North Central team members. I was impressed with the advanced chef class. 1 guess that ' s because that ' s my area of teaching back in Kokomo. They do a lot of creative things. The students really seem to enjoy what they ' re doing in there. Watson also thought this is one of the cleanest schools she has ever been in. The students seem to have a good relationship with the teachers. In the classes I was in I thought the teachers did an excellent job relating to the students, stat- ed Watson. So as the team left on Friday, March 27, the day be- fore Spring Break, we thought about how we wouldn ' t see an- other North Central team for another seven years. Speaking with students Randy Bunt, Liz Cardenez and Jeanne Hawkins, Richard Oppman from Garywirt discusses tiow students feel about Wayne Higfi Sctiooi, and its staff. Tailing time out, Lou Anne Watson, Home Econom- ics teacher at Northwest H.S. in Kokomo discusses JNorth Central activities. MORTH CENTRAL VISITATION North Central evaluates s always room ror improvemenx eginning at noon on Tuesday, March 24, 19 people from around the state came to evaluate our school. They eval- uated all areas of aca- demic study. The evalua- tion team left no ground uncovered. Mr. Frank Houk, Asst. Principal commented on the visit, One of the most important things that any organization can do is to assess themselves and then to have others help with their evaluation. The strength of an organization is its ability to recognize its mistakes or to improve their good points. They are here to show us our good and bad points. So far, their first im- pression has been a positive one. Many of us have seen them entering our classes, talking with members of the stu- dent body, speaking with the administra- tors, and giving brief interviews with the teachers. When confronted with questions from an NCA member, Shaun Imbody told them exactly what he felt. It ' s something 1 think needs to be done. Every school needs Gathering the group together. Dr. Hershel East- man, head of the NCA group, and also a vocation director in Muncie, speaks with the visitation group on what to look for while at Wayne. Talking about the graphic arts department, Walter Bourke discusses some of the strengths and weak- nesses that he has found during his visit. The NCA team visited Wayne during the week of March 23.

If the school operated this way all the time, the school would be boring. 1 think the admin- istrators would give a bet- ter impression if they didn ' t try so hard to look good. Mr. Richard Oppman, a member of the NCA team, stated, The study is not intended to find fault in the school. The purpose is to find its strengths and weak- nesses and ways to improve. Each day the members of the NCA at- tended the classes that they were assigned. Then several times during the day they met to report on what they had observed. Final- ly a report was written listing strengths and areas to concentrate on improving. The team said that it went very well and they felt very welcome at Wayne. They also said the students were very helpful to them throughout the week. Mr. Henry Looft, a teacher from Portage, Indiana, is an evaluator in the area of math- ematics. I ' ve looked over every part of the building. So far I ' m very impressed with everything I ' ve seen. This is a credit to the administrative staff, the custodial staff, and the student body. I am also impressed with the general over-all appearance, attitude, and behavior of the students. Relaxing after lunch, Mildred Lemen, Professor of Physical Education at Indiana State University and Asst. Principal Ray Moore discuss some items for the North Central report. NORTH CENTRAL VISITATION U Band Finishes ninth ana parents very supporuve of members Once again the Wayne Blue Guard had a successful and exciting year. Starting out with a third place at Chesterton, Blue Guard also went to District where they picked up a third place again. In the All-City competi- tion, they won first place in class B. Going on to Region- als, the Blue Guard won sec- ond place, which placed them at third in the state. Then it was on to the State finals in Indianapolis at the Hoo- sier Dome. On October 25th, the big day, the band was ready to give it their best shot. Senior Rhonda Reynolds commented, I was a lit- tle nervous before the show, but after we started, I felt great! Although the Blue Guard put on a great performance, the band came out with a ninth place finish. The band was hoping for a better finish, since last year the band also placed ninth. We just wanted to better our standing, said Reynolds. Band director Rick Smith was still very proud of his marching band this year. The many hours of practice put in by all the band members to perfect their performance was well worth it. Smith believes that next year ' s I was a little nervous before the show, but after we started I felt great! band will be even better; considering the high number of freshmen enrolled in this year ' s band. The band always has a lot of support by the parents. This year was no exception. One of the most loyal fans to the band this year was Mrs. Louis Brendel. Her son Todd plays in the band. Without parental support the band would never be able to travel to State competition. Parents get up and bring their children to Saturday morning practices, follow them to competitions across the state, and are there to pick up the pieces after a not-so-wonderful perfor- mances. These band parents are some of the greatest parents Wayne has to offer. Rushing from the powderpuff game to their instru- ments, senior Mindy Watkins and junior Melissa Cour- vel rush through their piece before the rain. The sen- iors lost to the juniors 0-6 during Homecoming week. Playing the Pee-Wee Herman theme was the most requested song at all of our pep sessions this year. The band played an important role in getting the fans row- dier for Waynes ' athletic functions. Doing a solo in the Hoosier dome was quite an exper- ience. The band placed ninth in State this year. BLUE aOARD Ladies entertain during halftime Corp provides visual effect to band Homecoming wee brought the spirit out in some of the Generals. All week long band members, athletes, and the like showed their spirit which built up for the Homecoming game. Performing their routine in front of the school at the first pep session of the year, the flag corp dances to the band music. They were an important part in help- ing the band advance to State competion this year. Although the flag corp is a small group, they play a major role in the visual part of the band ' s perfor- mance. Their explicit routines and colorful flags make the audience want to stay in the stands during halftime to watch the show. Senior Michelle McFadden comments, It ' s a lot of hard work and it takes up quite a bit of time, but it ' s also a lot of fun so it pays off. It certainly must have been a lot of fun, not to mention very rewarding, because the band and the corp went all the way to State competion this year. So it is obvious that the corp really is one of the MAIN EVENTS. BLUE Ga.A,RD cP Shaping up or shipping out.

Even between cross-country and track sea- sons I run just to stay in shape, said Jim Kruse. I ' m also planning on running at Pur- due next year, so this summer I ' ll probably really be logging the hours. Jogging, though, is not for everyone sc unfortunately, many different activities ex- ist. One of these would be weight-lifting or body building. Weight-lifting and body building are two totally different forms of training. Weight-lifting focuses on building It ' s a strike! Jumor Rick Meek is a regular bowler, so strikes aren ' t uncommon on his scoreboard. Midnight bowling is a favorite pasttime for many Wayne stu- dents. •7 started body build- ing last fall, but after cheerleading prac- tice, I just didn ' t have the time or the dedi- cation. — Carrie Coi- derbank up strength and endurance while body building builds muscle mass. I started body building last fall, but after cheerlead- ing practice, I just didn ' t have the time or dedica- tion, said Colderbank. Another way to stay in shape is aerobics. The main purpose of aerobics is usually to lose weight and to tone muscle groups. A workout pro- gram has only a small chance of being a success without a proper diet. Bowling for a strike, senior Amy Vachon rolls the ball down the alley. Many Wayne students enjoy bowl- ing during the weekends. Working out on tlie leg press, Kerwin Ward sighs in exasperation. In the background, Mike Lee falls off the sit-up board, but has a good time at it. FITMESS CRAZE Weightlifting enrollments increasing Catching the rays indoors Adding more weights to the bench press, senior Bob Asher builds his upper body. Most of the guys lift weights to help themselves in sports, but some try to improve their looks. Attempting to bench the stack, junior Dave Colon grimaces in pain. Dave has a tremendous physique hich he has worked very hard to attain. Everyone is into the beautiful people look. We all want to part of the beau- tiful look. Jogging, aerobics, diet- ing, and tanning booths have taken over our lives. 1 started going to the Tanning Booth on South Calhoun just to get some color dur- ing the winter, said junior Vickie Lomont. Becky Cusick said, Yea, I ' m going to the Bronzing Patio. I think I look much better with a tan. Besides it gets me ready to go to Florida over Spring Break. Others opt for making of their bodies. Scott Mix has been lifting weights for the last couple of years. Wayne offers a physical education class entitled weightlifting. On Mondays Wednesdays, and Fridays, they lift up in the weight room. The room is equipped with the Nau- tilus and free weights. Even more women are lifting. Last semester Tina King and I en- rolled into the class. It was a lot hard work, but we really built up our bodies, said Joy Altenburg. FITNESS CRAZE Bartkiewicz takes over as drama director ney Run cnosen 44 ' The play See How They run was so swift in the action, so involved the situations, and so rib-tickling, it was great to watch, state Jim Read. Gal- loping in and out of the fours doors of an English Vicarage were an American actor Clive (Chad Borden), and ac- -- ' tress Penelope (Lori Stein- man). Clive was an old boy- friend of Penelope stationed with the Air Force in England. Ida (Chris Such), a cockney maid has seen to many American movies, and an old maid (Amanda Miller), who touches alcohol for the first time in her life, encounters four men in clergy uniforms as disguises to look alike. One is an escaped Soviet prisoner (Dave Follis), and a sedate Bishop (Eric Mory), confused by all the things that are going on, and also by the fixed-up stories that everyone tells him. The play also starred Greg Cornelius as the Reverand Humphrey, and Ray Rowe as the Seargent. It was great to be in the play, it seemed as if the part was made for me, said Dave Follis. The play ran on November 21, 22. This play was the first directed by Ro- sella Bartkiewicz here at Wayne. In the past it was Ken Perkins directing them, but this Oh. ' fee s c .

Now, where have theygone?The duke, senior Eric Moray, is once again left alone on stage. Eric Mory was one of the Main Attrac- tions in the drama department this year. Mory has been involved in plays for the past four years, in the most recent adventure he played the Bishop of Lax, father of Penelope, who was portrayed by another senior Lori Steinman. Mory has also been involved in plays at the Civic. My favorite play was doing Sweeny Todd. Although I enjoyed doing this last play, said Mory. Mrs Bartkiewicz really knows what she ' s doing. The reher- sals seemed to go really well. The funniest part of the play was when Dave Follis dropped his gun during the third act, added Mory. Mory isn ' t only interested in acting, but he was also the only recipient from Wayne of the National Merit Scholarship. He plans to go on to college, but he was unsure of his course of study. I ' m sure that I ' ll stay ac live in local theatre. FALL PLAY Trip to Cedar Point scheduled Club puts on first-year show It was a lot of fun, said Jennifer Starks. The modeling was great. I think we did a pretty good job for a first-year effort. We raised enough money for the Afro- American Club to go to Cedar Point any- way, said Starks. Starks and her friends, Veronica Thomp- son, Stacy Browning, and Sharon Brown were decked out in pink gowns in the mod- eling section of the program. The show ex- hibited modeling, skateboarding, singing, dancing, and they also produced a play. Mrs. Angle Love and Mrs. Brenda Gates- James were the sponsors of the American Club this year. The tal ent show also had three bands par ticipate in the event this year. Playing in the Wayne talent show, Jesse Henn, James Henn, Damian Mataraza, Jeff Franke, and Ron Stewart, make up the band Bad Influence.

The show was spon- sored by Mrs. Brenda Gates-James, Mr. Charlie Greer, and Mrs. Angelia Love, all Wayne faculty members. The talent show con- sisted of many acts in which there was modeling that lasted throughout the whole show; and singing. Also the Sensation Sing- ers made an appearance during the show. In addition, there was also a play, a skate- board show, dancing, and two bands. I was really proud of the kids, we are really look- ing forward to next year ' s show, said Mrs. Love.

Henn is a member of the band Bad influence, one of the bands that participated in the show. it was awesome, the best part were the bands, said junior John Heinerich. Damian Mataraza, bass player for Bad Influ- ence, said I thought it could have been more or- ganized, but for a first year program it was okay. Last year it was cancelled at the last minute due to lack of interest. Sophomore Angie Winters wrote the play for the Talent Show which took her only three days to complete. The show went very well and everyone did a great job, said Winters. This is her second play she has written in the last two years. The play was about blacks wanting to become per- fect and blacks who would rather sit around listening to rap music everyday. 1 would write another play if Afro-American Club ask me to, said Winters. The auditorium was filled with anxious parents and guests. This years talent show was the only fund-raiser that the club had. The show was a big success, the talent show is the only fund-raising event for the club. If you couldn ' t make it this year be looking forward to next year!

PERFECTION studying is inevitable m There isn ' t a ready made prayer for A ' s Oh, there is so much to do in such a small amount of time. Between the hours of 8:00 and 2:35 much goes on at Wayne High School. Students spend every possible minute talking to thier friends, writing notes to each other, and just goofing off in the hallways. They go to club meetings, student council meet- ings, sports; anything to put off the inevi- table: studying. No matter how much homework you do, nor how much studying you do, it nev- er seems to be enough. There is always just one more test or one more assign- ment that slipped your mind. But the pres- sure still remains to get that ever evasive A. Yes, however unpopular it may be, studying is the most critical part of high school. Let ' s face it, there isn ' t a ready- made prayer for A ' s for those people who never study. Like it or not, those grades that are no big deal determine what kind of college you get into, or what sort of job you get. So strive for A ' s and get The MAIN IDEA: to study! Most students spend on the average of two hours a night on home- work, said sophomore Staci Beck. Of course there are major projects, and pa- pers that we spend a lot of weekend time at the library. When 1 was on the speech team I used to practice for hours just to get that speech right. 1 guess that old saying is right . . . You get out of school what you put into it, said senior Maria Ognenoff. I put as much as I have to give. It really does pay off in the long run. Ognenoff continued, Organization is the key to all things. Manage your time, and you ' ll do okay. Looking up more infor- mation for their Eng- lisfi papers are Stacy Brown, Melissa Parra, and other classmates. Students spend a lot of time in the li- brary researching informa- tion, or maybe just to find a quiet area in which to study. Discussing grades with her students, Mrs. Morgan talks to her freshman English class. Nathan Benson and Chris Durnell learned from experience that grades are the MAIN IDEA here at Wayne, not just the social life. Social life is very important, but we ' re here for an education that will pre- pare students for the outside world; whether their world includes furthering their educations or joining an already overcrowded work force. THE MAIN IDEA Picking up the pieces, juniors Karla Meyers and Re- gina Adams help the little girl find the right circles to a tough puzzle. Children were brought so the students could study their behavior. Trying to get the toddler ' s attention, Lisa Hubner tells Christy Yabarra to encourage her friend to put the puzzle together on the floor. Human Development Experiencing M ' Naive, S?- pending time witii tiie ciiil- dren was a lot of fun, said a senior human development tudent. They ' re so friendly and so naive, ea, that ' s the right word. They seem to ust us so quickly. Several times a year le home economics department invites le students to bring in their younger sib- lings, or nieces and nephews. First we observed the toddlers, then we observe preschool age children, said Linda Smethers. I enjoy the two and three year olds. They ' re always so happy to be here. They like playing with games and puzzles. The children come in usually for just the morning session or the afternoon. The stu- dents observe the way the children get along with each other, and the v ay they react to different adults, said Mrs. Helen Bunnell, human development teacher. We also observe which toys they play with, and how they get along with other children, said Linda Egolf. You can always tell chil- dren that are an only child. Sometimes they won ' t play with the other children, or they ' ll take toys away from the others. Human Development class also takes part in a mock marriage ceremony, devel- ops a household budget, and have their own babies. The students have to take care of a baby for a solid week. If the students need to go out at night they have to hire a baby- sitter. This all figures into their budgets, said Bunnell. I think the students have a good time dressing their babies (eggs) and naming them. The class contains both fe- male and male students. After the unit on marriage, I ' m not sure if I ' m ready for that stuff or not, said Smethers. Discussing what they observed during the day, seniors Linda Egolf and Linda Smetliers compare their notes. This was their second year in the human devel- opment class. Several times during the school year preschool children are brought in to be observed in Human Devel- opment class. Tomi Fry and her young friend look up and smile at the camera.

Cutting out her pattern and making sure everything is precise, senior Brenda Jones works during her sew - ing class. Home Eci. mics Bear picnic decorates t Studying effects of alcohol -he Home Economics Department has advanced widely. The foods chefs cooked a breakfast for Grand- parents Day in October. They also cooked a dinner for all of the students in the cafeteria last May. Mrs. Bunnells ' Human Development class worked on alcoholism and the effects it had on the brain. We mostly read and watch films on alcohol abuse, but we also discuss a lot of our experiences with the entire class, says junior, Tina Gaunt. This class has taught me a lot about how to deal with my actions, actions of other people, and how to raise my self-esteem without making people think that 1 am stuck-up, or too good for them. Just by showing that I care about myself. 1 feel that this class should be a requirement because it teaches people so much about adult life, teenage life, parenthood, childhood, drugs, alcohol, and j ust life in general. Everyone needs to know at least something about these things if they plan on making it on their own some day. The sewing department was pretty small this year, but they still moved along! They started by working on basic stiches. Throughout the year, they worked on differ- ent things such as pillows, blouses, sweat shirts, sweat pants, skirts, stuffed animals, scarves, and mittens. Mrs. Bunnell set up a display case at the beginning of the school year entitled The Bear Picnic . It was filled with homemade Teddy Bears. Angle Doak donated her blue jean bear she did for art to join the picnic. It was a really neat thing for Mrs. Bunnell to do, said Doak. Not only does the Home Economics De partment cook for the students, but also they put on some important dinners for the administration and another city dignitaries. Students gather around Mrs. Lipp as she demon- strates how to cut out a pattern in home economics class. Many students enjoy making their own clothes.

Home Economics It seemed as though everytime we stepped into one of the foreign language rooms, we were stepping into another part of the world. We tool on the task of learning another language could often be tedious, if not downright baffling. As stated by Tammy Kiessling, The worst thing about fourth-year Spanish was Mr. Merkler made us speak total Spanish from the time we entered the room, until the time we left. It got frustrating!! No matter how disconcerting taking an- other language was, it was beneficial to us. For instance, Latin classes were known for their many parties as they celebrate the numerous Roman holidays. The Latin classes also did some pretty dramatic skits, acting out the major points of Roman histo- ry. As Mrs. Mack said, Latin teaches all. Students that took German might argue with Mack on that point as they celebrated German holidays, the taste of German cui- sine at the tasting parties, and they also put their acting talents to work in skits. Guten Tag! The students in Mr. Shearer ' s German class find time for both learning and having a lot of fun. Cinder the French word for smile, Angle Winters and Lindy Queverra understand the meaning of the bulle- tin board. Eating is all a [. irt of foreign language classes.

French classes were no easy ticket, it was a shock going from first year to second year French. In first year we just had fun. In second year we had to buckle down and work, said Stacy Miller. Some of the French classes activities included memoriz- ing dialogues, skits, and of course the many tests. The skits, tests, and celebrations were all a part of taking another language, as well as the promotion of each language. The first week of December was Foreign Language Week. Announcements were made and posters hung to help promote and show how profitable taking another language could be. Learning to speak a foreign tongue sharpens memorization, introduces us to a new culture, and just may help us understand our own language better. Broadening horizons seemed to be the MAIN IDEA, as everyone quickly realized how beneficial it was to take a foreign lan- guage. « FOREIGN LANGUAGE • asars T 4tig %i ; smK riu  araii ' g FOREIGN LANGUAGE Young Robin Hood, Josh Forbing, watches the other merry men as they practice archery.

The reason being most of the students taking the class are not in shape to take the punishments that the instructors dish out. I use to hate it when they chose up sides. They never chose me until I was the last one left. I was so embarrassed, said Becky Felton. The showers are the worst. I hated tak- ing showers, and then going back to class with wet hair, said Kris Byerley. It ' s just so hard to dress and undress within five or ten minutes; then getting to class on time is another story. Taking P.E. offers a variety of games. First you can take either individual or team sports. The runners, weightlifters, tennis, and golf players enjoy the individual level of physical education. Some of the team sports offered are football, soccer, and the ever popular volleyball. Several colleges also make you take physical education classes. For example, at Ball State University, six quarter hours of physical education are required. Indiana University requires two credits in physical education according to their class course schedule. With more and more people get- ting on a health kick, more students are looking positively toward physical educa- tion classes. I thought gym was one of the funnest classes at Wayne. It was pretty easy to get an A. You just had to participate and try to do your best, said William Martin. Pumping iron, Jean Garay struggles to lift a hefty load.

An ideal scene from an old science flick. This is sometimes the mental picture stu- dents get of chemistry labs in Chemistry 1 2 and Advanced Chemistry. While there can be a little smoke and some small explo- sions, they are, for the most part, calm. Students perform many experiments throughout the year, however a lot of time is also spent on learning the techniques of problem solving and the various formulas. Junior Kris Byerley, a first year chemistry student said, Its tough, but I am learning a lot. I am trying my hardest to find out how this will help me in the future. I ' ll probably be looking for a long time! Of course, if -- fFr- you decide to go on studying chemistry, it inevitably gets harder along the way. Stu- dents are now able to continue studying chemistry through their senior year with the addition of a new advanced placement chemistry class. Other science courses offered at Wayne include Biology 1 2 and Advanced Biol- ogy. In Biology you get to do the ever popu- lar dissecting. Worms, grasshoppers, cray- fish, and frogs are among the few things dissected in the first year. Advanced Biol- ogy students get the pleasure of dissecting the fetal pig. It was great! sophomore Jeff Carsten said. Most students take Physics in their sen- ior year. Learning how to solve problems logically is a big part of the course. Stu- dents usually do well with Mr. Masterson ' s way of teaching. He believes that the teach- er is the coach and the students are the team. And together they are preparing for the big game. How ' s it goin dudes? Sophomore Preston Shir- meyer seems to find time to relax during fiis physical science class. Lecturing to his class, Mr. Hole explains some defi- nitions to his students.

The library here at Wayne is not just used for reading anymore. Wayne is very advanced in their T.V. broadcasting department, stated Mr. Gra- ham, and The students who take the class in T.V. broadcasting learn the intracastries of commercial television production. Along with the production room Wayne is also unique in the fact that there is also a computer room, and a listening room. With a teacher ' s approval, a student can use the Apple programs to assist them in a class that they may be struggling with. The lis- tening room is a great thing but its greatly underutilized, stated Graham. For the price of a student ' s I.D. he or she may listen to anything from music to old radi o pro- grams such as Captain Midnight. In the reference department, Wayne has periodicals that go back as far as ten years. 1 like the library because I can find things that 1 can ' t find in my regular classroom books when I have to do a report, stated senior Steve Mix. Wayne is not just an En- cyclopedia library, it is a well stocked well maintained learning facility. It is also a re laxation area where you can also get away from the headaches of school. 1 like to read the magazines.

The menu consisted of skillet burgers, bacon wrapped franks, cactus po- tatoes, corn on the cob, Texas tossed salad, whole wheat rolls, or walnut pudding, and fresh fruit. Mrs. Bartkiewicz said, The skil- let burger was outstanding. There was a great variety of food, and I thought it was delicious. Marsha Bragg, the head food supervisor from downtown, and Channel 21 even showed up for a bite to eat. But as many complained, There was too much food and not enough time to finish it, stated Tammy Schmidtke and Allyson Kinnerk. We ' re doing this for experience in quan- tative foods, said Paul Wilson. Getting here at 7:15 a.m. to begin preparation was the earliest that some of the students had ever gotten to school before. 1 was really proud of all the hard work the students put in to this project. You can ' t get a better lunch for $1.25 anywhere, stated Mr. Bish- op. Students and teachers alike were encour- aged to dress according to the western theme. The lunch room was decorated with red and white checked table cloths, homemade cactuses were placed on the tables creating an all-around western atmosphere. Enjoying the music of the Sensation Singers and talking about the days events, Stacy Bercot, Jennifer Hamman, and Becky Traughber enjoy the Chuck Wag- on Dinner.

THE CHGCKWAGON r jsst .«r3 haVs the way it was . , . 1987 Learning the law uring their junior and senior years, students are required to take U.S. History and government. While some see this as punishment, others accept it as a welcome challenge. Government is a very vital subject, said senior William Martin. It ' s one of the most important classes on my schedule be- cause I have to pass it to graduate. The class focuses on the issues in an election, since many of the students will be voting in the upcoming election. To fully participate in and control our government, we need to understand how it functions and how it is organized, said Mr. Baker. It is Important for teenagers to get involved in the government because they will be the leaders of tomorrow. We can ' t afford to turn the responsibility of running our country over to other people, Mr. Ba- ker added. Working on the next day ' s assignment, Mr. Baker ' s history class decides to take a break and smile for the camera. Working hard of his government test, senior Greg Barnes takes his time and thinks carefully. While gov- ernment is not always a favorite subject among sen- iors, it is required nd important to pass. While the attention o seniors Kim Ragle, Jim Mor- row, and Margie Cantey s ems a bit distracted, senior Tammy Kiessling keeps he mind on the teacher. Both history and government classes in- clude writing reports, and other out of class studies. There ' s a lot of homework, said Eddie Ingram, but it ' s also very reward- ing. Senior Cindy Embrey comments, Government has enriched my life so much. 1 now have a working understanding of how our country runs. Although many people think history is boring, it is important for us to learn about our culture and those of other countries around the world. Learning our history helps us to realize what has made America the country it i s today. Studying the past also helps us to prevent the failures in histo- ry from repeating themselves. History Government While it is easy for the mind to drift during a lecture, it is important to pay close attention to catch details that are not always mentioned in the text. While lectures are a large part of the class, Mr. Lucas also has group projects and discussions for variety. Listening intently to one of Mr. Lucas ' lec- tures, the class finds that oral interpretation is just as important as reading the book. History Government Business, math, and computers are the communative fields of study that help prepare students for the real world. In these courses students are given the chance to experience the reality of business and fields realted. The courses at Wayne are also designed to prepare high school students for college or for employ- ment after high school. Many who have taken subjects pertain- ing to business have had mixed judgements on the business program. Some feel that the classes here are very interesting and that there is a lot to learn from them. This knowledge has helped some pupils to earn a job. Jeff Curtis, has taken a few business classes at Wayne. I believe that the classes I ' ve taken will help in a future ca- reer in management. Jeff also considers psychology essential in business. Another senior, Matt Schwartz, has taken account- ing. His views on the subject are as follows: One of those long days in Mr. Fox ' s geometry class.

Mathematics in high school is at the base of higher learning. Students are to take a minimum of years of mathematics. Col- leges in Indiana require an applicant to have taken classes in algebra, geometry and a few trigonometry. High school math teachers emphasize learning more to pre- pare students for the college work load. Some students interested in a math orien- tated career are urged to take four years of college preparatory math and to be influ- enced in computer math.

One of the most drastic was in the Drama department with Ken Perkins stepping out and Roseila Bart- kiewicz taking over. Drama class offers stu- dents a chance to open up and express emotions while on stage and in front of an audience. Bartkiewicz is so happpy to have the opportunity to be teaching drama at Wayne. Drama is presenting the human exper- ience, from tragedy to humor while being on stage, said Bartkiewicz. She attended Indiana University and she was a Theta Al- pha Phi which is a sorority for National Act- ing Honorary students. Drama helps you to learn to perform on stage in that particu- lar character you are portraying, said Ed- die Ingram. Bartkiewicz has directed a nu- merous amount of plays throughout her life. Most of them in the Junior High School level. So as you can see, Drama has been a big part of the school year. Communications offers students a chance to speak in front of people. Some of the things that you do in communications are read announcements, informative speeches, radio news, drama, and a TV commercial, which is one of the major pro- jects this year for the students. This is the first year that Morey has taught speech. Morey is such an outstand- ing teacher; it ' s a pleasure to be one of his students, said Jim Kruse. Morey is also the co-sponser of the speech team which is directed by Mrs. Larwence. There are many ways of speech and this class helps the students to know what they are. The students need to lose their fear of talking and open up on the way they speak, said Morey. Communications helps the students to speak properly and in the many different ways they can do it. Practicing long and hard for the upcoming speech meet, juniors Susan Turner and Jean Harman rehearse their duo with Mrs. Lawrence. Planing for the future speech meet, Mrs. Lawrence and senior Margie Cantey go over some ideas for the speech team. It is a lot of hard work being president of the speech team, but I enjoy the work and like to be a part of the team. Cracking the jokes while leaving everyone else as- tonished, senior Chris Such laughs while Tara Partee hides her face with embarrassment. We always have a good time in drama, said senior Dave Follis. PERFORMING ARTS .afc! -.-- ---3 Waxing another article, news editor Angle Doak spends many hours in the publications room.

Freshmen honors is set up to help students who are ready for advanced read- ing and writing, said freshmen honors teacher Mrs. Morgan. The students are se- lected from three feeder schools, and are in the class to gain concepts and usage of many different learning techniques. Stu- dents are able to work independently, comments Morgan. The class also does skits and lets Mr. Graham ' s class record them on the A.V system. In conclusion Mor- gan said with a smile, They ' re a very good group of young people, and a very excep- tional class . As a sophomore there is a little more expectation from them since this is their second year and they no longer need to take things slow. As a sophomore English teach- er Mr. Didier has to work harder with his students so they can become prepared for the future. Niki Forbing commented, He is an easy teacher to learn from because he explains himself really well. He ' s just an all around great teacher. Mr. Peters seems to be a really big fan among the Wayne students, I think litera- ture is very important, said Peters. He ' s worked for 12 years teaching 1 feel juniors and seniors are more mature. Peters is also known for his addition to his class, he refers to her as Mom. When asked about her, he replied, That ' s my mom. Mrs. Mack ' s senior English class finds her pretty fun. Laurie Minnick said, When she ' s reading she ' s very dramatic so you . get into what she ' s saying. In Mr. Sawyers ' academic English class, the students find themselves writing too many essays. I know it can be a pain, but it ' ll prepare me for college, admitts senior Tammy Kiessling, And I ' ll always have my homework done for his class or else he ' ll totally humiliate me in front of every- one. Working hard to complete an assignment, fresh- men students; Tricia Lichtsinn, Kelly Meszaros and Michelle Gilbert are a few of the many freshmen stu- dents who have Mr. Perkins for English.

MMM B% MM 1 1 Basic journalism is a class that teacii- es the students how to gather news, edit, or direct the publication of a newspaper or other periodicals. This class is very interesting and contributes much to the outcome of the newspaper and periodi- cally helps out the yearbook staff, said Jill Fitzharris. Taking pictures and learning to develop them is also a task the students in Basic Journalism must learn and become exper- ienced at, said Nicole Lattham. Mrs. Hart-Hoover t eaches all the Journal- ism classes at Wayne. She is also the advis- er for the yearbook and the Wayne Dis- patch. Mrs. Hart-Hoover is pleased with her turnout of classes this year, This year is a lot better. Having two journalism classes a day allows more kids to get involved with Journalism. Attending journalism days, and conven- tions were fun, said second-year student Julie Lichtsinn. They also will benefit the staff, added Hart-Hoover. I really enjoy the class. Not only do we have a great time. Get away from me! Angie Baumgartner looks up from reading a review, while Patti Sills and Peggy Lattimore edit other play reviews. One of the biggest parts of the basic journalism class is class discussions. Roberta McDonald, Angie Ware, and Jill Renninger listen to another classmate. We ' re amazed! Joe Snarpe and Micole Lattman lis- ten as Mrs. Hart-Hoover ex ains the reason for editori- al pages. Jill Fitzharris reac. over her editorial that was just handed back. but I ' m also learning many of the basic jour- nalistic skills which will be helpful to me since I plan to continue journalism through- out my high school career, Stacy Miller said. I ' m really excited to be in this class. Now I will be a part of the Wayne Dispatch and yearbook, said Stacy Sorg. Journalism is definitely a fun class, but Hart-Hoover stresses the importance of deadlines. Deadlines and responsibility are the main ideas behind the basic journalism class. Writing and photography to editing and layout and design are all stressed, but Hart-Hoover constantly pushes the stu- dents to do more. You can always do bet- ter, said Hart-Hoover. Sometimes I get so angry with her. She pushes and pushes. But I know she knows what she ' s doing. Look how far the publica- tion ' s department has come in a few short years, said senior Chris Elliott. Oh yeah, the parties help a lot too. JOURNALISM ■« «SiiTOE5r ■■-■ ,fi o .xVt Taking time off, Kyle Roe and Steve Read look at a Wayne yearbook, after finishing one of their many journalism assignments.

Geoff Boyle 1j t talks to Phil Grimme about the assignment. - dded Wayne High School was given a grant from GTE for a observa- tory out in the woods behind the Softball diamond. Mr. Ewing ' s class and Mr. Hole were in charge of the building of the observatory. Mr. Frey was also helping on the project. He wrote the proposal that was submitted for the grant. The observatory is there to help students learn about nature and is there for all students and not just the lA students, said Ewing. The Graphic Arts Department does var- ious things to help out Wayne High School. Together with the publications department, the graphic arts department prints the sports schedules that are handed out at ev- ery home game. Other printing projects in- cluding things such as stationary and but- tons to license plates and name pins. The students in graphic arts also learn to take Completing the Sulfuric Acid Plant for Mr. Detwiler ' s class, Phil Dusenchaun, Chad Noble, Rhonda Reynolds, Tonya Silvers, and Chris Colwell stand proud. and develop 35mm film and photographs. That was the really neat part of the class, said Dawn Payton. School projects is a big part of advance lA students work on school projects these opportunities give Advance students to work on projects that are in the graphic arts field. Other projects include the school news letter, sectional and regional pro- grams, Softball programs, letters for admin- istrators, buttons and contracts for Gener- als Against Drunk Driving. One of the newest attractions in the graphic arts department is a $25,000 type setter. The type setter is a computer plus a developer in one. Not satisfied with their work, Charlie Davis and Tonja Capers look on. Measuring the width, Frank Merrit is one of the many students w ' king on the new observatory. Mr. Ewing ' s fourth hou. lass spends much time outside in the wooded area. GRAPHIC ARTS V Laughing while at work, Steve Jones makes mea- surements for the new observartory. Mr. Hole and Mr. Ewing are in charge of its development. Working very hard, James Capers, Jason Brown, and Tom Gannon build the new observatory at Wayne. GRAPHIC ARTS Get involved in activities Becoming involved in the clubs and other after school activities is one of the Main Attracttions here at Wayne. Making new friends and learning new skills are all apart of the fun of being a member of one or more of the many clubs offered here. These are the type of things that offer closeness: BEHIND THE SCENES. The clubs range from community ser- vices to sports. Some of the clubs even teach skills which can be used in future jobs, or create scholarship opportunities. The possibilities are endless. Joining a club or participating in other activites be- sides homework is just one of the most important aspects of high school life. So- cial life is everything to a teenager. That ' s why here at Wayne we want YOCJ to be involved ... get BEHIND THE SCENES. Students involved in publications de- velop and strengthen their writing skills, and still have fun with their specialty- , great pub parties. The food is the best part, said Chris Byerly. ? We have lots of fun! The foreign language clubs go out to eat at a restaurant specializing in the cul- tural food of that country, and the Key Club often goes out to pizza after complet- ing a project. The Swing Choir puts in a lot of after school hours to prepare their per- formance for the competitions. Senior Shelly Eddleman commented, We are all like a big family, I love it! The halls of Wayne are definitely far from empty after the last bell rings. The building buzzes with activities, a huge part of the social scene. There is some- thing for everyone, and the clubs are one of the most fun parts of going to Wayne. The Key Club delivered special treats to hos- pitalized children. Seniors Teresa Werling and Margie Cantey dress up for the occasion. The Key Club also had a car wash, and dur- ing spring break they attend- ed a convention in Indianapo- lis.

It ' s a lot of fun. We get together and form three-person teams, and then we have a bowling competition between us, said Becky Cusick. You can come with your friends or the sponsors, Les Roberts and John Coleman, will put you with some others. You know I didn ' t use to bowl a lot, but since I joined the club I find myself on weekends going bowling instead of going to see a movie or something, said Linda Smethers. One of the biggest weekend activities on the south side of Fort Wayne is to go to Hillcrest for mid- night bowling. The lanes ' lights are turned off and they play music. Loads of people from Wayne are there, said Corey Zimmer- man. One thing really nice about bowl- ing at Hillcrest is that the scoring is auto- matic. So if you want to go bowling, but no one knows how to keep score, you can still go, said Chris Such. Hillcrest also turns on the M-TV and you can watch videos while you bowl. The videos are great, said Cusick. We just finished our season at Hillcrest. I ' m really looking forward to the bowling banquet in the spring. It ' s always fun, and they announce the best bowler, most improved bowler, and things like that. Standing around looking cool is a fun part of bowl- ing. Here junior Scott Sorgen shows fiow it ' s done. Scott and his three junior friends, Rich Schnieder, Tim Scheefel, and Mike Zent all were partners this year. Making sure the score is correct, junior Bob McNamara, seniors Becky Cusick and Linda Smethers look over their scores. All three had a great time this season.

They worked on a Mural for H-hall which consisted of instru- ments representing the band and familiar ob- jects in H-hall. Advanced Art students painted the Wayne Crest next to the main office. I ' m proud of the kids, they did an excellent job, said art teacher, Mrs, Thexton. Chad Noble, Josh Forbing, Pat McCune, Doug Bilby, Matt Johnson, Tabiltha Rurgs busied themselves during the months of De- cember and January working on the Crest. I really enjoyed working on the Crest. I graduat- ed at Mid-term and it really made me feel like I left something to Wayne High School, said Noble. It also added a colorful welcome to visitors at Wayne. Art Club has also been making the commu- nity even nicer, by painting pictures on com- munity establishments. They painted the McDonald ' s at Southtown Mall, and a nursery school over on Pontiac Street. Philosophy Club and Quill and Scroll, like Art Club and so many of the other clubs at Wayne haven ' t had such a successful year. With the teachers, as of February 2, 1987, working to contract, the teachers haven ' t had the extra time to work with the clubs or its members. Many clubs are meeting until the 3:10 bell, but then teachers are out the door. It ' s too bad that the teachers have to be treated this way, said Tammy Kiessling. It seems to real- ly be dumping on my senior year. I understand that the teachers don ' t have a contract, and haven ' t had for most of the school year, but I really miss spending outside time with some of them, said Cindy Embrey. Hopefully this stupid turmoil will end soon for the teachers s o we can get on to being Wayne High School again.

These classes gave exper- ience in diffeent kinds of businesses. Employees feel that going through ME and COE will give them a more reliable employee. Personalities and skills are matched with the positions. explains Mrs. Weaver. The coordinators, Mr. Reche and Mrs. Weaver, observe students and talk with employers about how they can improve on the job. Also, they recruit new train- ing stations for next year. With contracts not being fulfilled this year, Mr. Reche closed the General Store until contract agreements are reached. Many students are disappointed about the closing . OEA allows students to participate in competitions with other ME clubs at the regional, state, and national levels. Ron Culpher says this about ME, I feel it will help me get through later life. What I ' ve learned in this class will make me stop and think what my priorities are. COE is clerical type of work typing, filing, bookkeeping, etc. Senior, Kathy Carpenter, is one of the students in this class and this is how it works for her. It really makes me feel a lot older. Being able to leave early from school and dress nice at work are some of the advantages, but one big disadvantage is not being able to be in after school activities.

Also, G.A.D.D. had contracts for the parents and students to sign. The contrack spoke briefly about parents going to get their kid(s), if they ever needed a ride a home while intoxicated. And the kid(s) agreed to call them or call a cab if need- ed.

Upon entering the meetings, one will find a homey feeling. Each member opens his her arms open wide. All fears are at once put aside. Despite their friendly dis- positions, they do get a lot of work done. They worked for the Salvation Army, did a canathon, raised money for the Muscu- lar Dystrophy, and We did some fund raising and donated $100 to the Mc- Donald House in Indianapolis, said Mr. Hamm. But, all work and no play is not their motto. So, the Key Club also sponsored a school dance. Being the creative peo- ple they are, they decided to throw a Beach Pajama Party Dance.

Caroling was just one of the many things French Club has done this year. To get things started with a bang, the students involved in the club organized a fondu party that was held after school. The students had their choice of either a bread and cheese fondu or a chocolate and fruit fondu. Many chose to sample both, and found that they were delicious. The Latin students in this club chose to start off the year in a different way, however. On December 11 and 12 they held the annual slave auction during which anything from a giggly freshman to a cross-country ski trip could be bought. As busy as they were with the auction, the Romans are never too busy to squeeze in a party or celebration of some sort, said Tammy Sheckler. To participate in these festas each must wear a toga and eat Mrs. Mack ' s famous bread. Skits also play a common role in Latin Club festas. The first year in Latin is a memorable one. You must get used to all of the cele- brations as well as the names Mrs. Mack assigns and which are kept throughout your membership. Some such names are Victoria, Jacubus, Davus, Divis, Va- laria, Sabrina, and many more. Many Latin students attended the state latin convention in Indianapolis. There the students attended many work- shops and helped to further their Latin education. Although there are no Spanish or Ger- man clubs, those students participate freely in many things; such as the selling of the Santa-grams during the Christmas season.

The team members are Bob Harmeyer, who is their best player, Bill Gunder, Pat McGrath, and Elder. Another club that is run by Mr. Baker is the Model United Nations, several members of which are also on the chess team. The main thrust of the club ' s ac- tivities last year was the trip downto Indi- ana State University in Terre Haute in the fall for the annual Model United Na- tions program. They were also in the planning stages for a trip to New York, New York, next year for the National Model (J.N. Conference.

Mrs. McKee is in her second year as the director of the music department. 1 think Mrs. McKee is influential in the music world. At least around the area, said Furno.

There are nine members of Quill and Scroll on the newspaper staff. Quill and Scroll is a national honor society for ju- niors and seniors. To be in this society, a person must be in the top ten percent of his class and be recognized as an out- standing journalist. Quill and Scroll is a worthwhile orga- nization. It encourages publication stu- dents to attain a higher grade point aver- age in order to receive the recognition that being in Quill and Scroll offers, said Gary Robinson of the Dispatch. Over the summer, most of the staff went to workshops sponsored by Ball State University. Some of the courses offered there are cartooning, photogra- phy, and other newspaper related sub- jects.

The worst was having close friends move down to Reserve and trying to teach the new ones to learn fast. We tried our best to make them a part of our family, but 1 think now we all have come a long way. We are very close, explains Harman. Two try-outs involves a lot of time and energy, but we pulled together and in the long run we made it work, says sponsor of cheerleaders, Carol Harman. Tracy Gerardot, coach of the cheer- leaders, explains her incidents with the changing squads, I started through football season and then into basketball. It was a new experience for me to work with guy cheerleaders. When they first did the centipede 1 thought something was wrong with them. I didn ' t expect the guys to do as well as they did. They were fun and easy to get along with. The girls were a joy and hard work- ers, comments Gerardot. What about the cheerleaders point of the season? Were the girls enjoying the games or just going through the mo- tions? This is my first year as a varsity cheerleader and we have some great times. The worst and most embarrassing is when we all try to be like Michael Angelo and everyone knows we are very far from that, explains Jones. At the Heritage vs Wayne game the crowd really shows their spirit. Wayne won this game (Tl-il. Wayne played a good game, and showed the fans how good they really are.

We were really happy when we re- ceived the trophy for ninth place, said Tracy Sanders, but we really thought that we deserved higher scores. Al- though some people were not satisfied with the out come of the competition, Wayne ' s corps is still highly noticed. On March 28th, the corps will travel to Tippecanoe to compete in I.S.S.M.A. (In- diana State School Music Association).

Harrington takes charge Starting off the school year for the Student Council was the fall Homecoming. The halftime cere- monies during the football game began with the crowning of Maria Ognenoff as queen. This was followed by an enter- taining eight minute firework display. After the game, over 500 people packed the commons to dance to the music of CJnique Lighting and Sound. Later in the year, Council sponsored the first ever Focus on Health. Fresh- men and sophomore students came through medical testing stations located in the auxilary gym. There was a very large turnout, making Wayne the most successful school in the city to sponsor the event. Student Council had an uprising in January, when an editorial in the school newspaper offered suggestions on mak- ing Wayne Student Council a better or- ganization. Student Council took the criticism pretty hard, said Vice-presi- dent Maria Ognenoff. As a result, four letters to the editor were published in the following issue of the Dispatch. Things finally settled down after Christmas break, and the Council began being very conscious of what was going on at Wayne. Council finished the school year by re- starting an old tradition of having a spring carnival. The day was filled with festive events. Taking advantage of the free period that student council members are allowed once a month, they discuss future porjects for Wayne.

The pub department throws many birthday parties throughout the year to relieve the pressure of the deadline for the yearbook. ' ' Comm unica tion is a big part of tlie Journalism field and you need to be able to commu- nicate for future jobs. —Mrs. Hart- Hoover stuffing their faces, the Wayne publications staff throws the last party of 1986. They have worked hard all year long to reach their deadline. Although eating was fun, they put most of their time on the yearbook. And it was a well-deserved celebration. Many hours of hard work were put in to the yearbook. . ADMIT ONE Social life ranks high with high school students The yearbook staff of Wayne High School is on the upswing, win- ning two first place national awards for the 85-86 yearbook. The Big Switch was also rated one of the top ten yearbooks in the nation, for books under 200 pages at the NSPA-JEA convention in Chicago. Niki Forbing, Josette Simer- man. Angle Doak, Caroline Paulison, and Susan Turner attended the convention. Maria Ogenenoff thought up the idea of this year ' s theme, The Main Attrac- tion. The main attraction is definitely not centered around education, but in- stead reflects on the students. Educa- tion is important, but even the class- room involves social interaction with students. Journalism is the favorite class of many students. A mistaken thought from people outside the ' pub ' , is that the students don ' t work and that the class is just for fun. Not true, yearbook students learn and yes, they do work hard, said For- bing. Students need to learn and have fun at the same time. Out in the real world, jobs are awaiting for well-rounded students. When working with the year- book, students learn about advertising, public relations, and how to design lay- outs, said advisor Lee Ann Hart-Hoover. I think the most important thing you get out of Journalism is responsibility with all the deadlines you must meet. Communication is a big part of the Jour- nalism field and you need to be able to communicate for future jobs.

We were a little disappoint- ed in our ranking, we thought that we would place higher than last year, com- mented sophomore drum major Sharon Amick. The Blue Guard traveled to regionals in Kokomo, Indiana, where they received a first division rating in class B. Over-all it was a good building year, since the band is mostly composed of freshman, it gives us a great stepping stone into next year, said Rick Smith. The band also traveled to Chesterton where they placed 3rd in class B. They finished up the marching season when they competed at the state level at the Hoosier Dome, placing 9th. Sophomore Tena Shurboff spoke about the season saying, We started out with a young group, but with a lot of hard work and determination we had a successful year. Competing in the Hoosierdome was quite an exper- ience for the band members this year. Expecially for ju- nior Dave Orr, who had to perform a solo in front of an extremely large audience. The bands ' dedication earned them a ninth place award at State. .V BAND: (front row) Rodney Wilkinson, Matt Boatright, Leann Boedecker, Scott Kump, Tim Raleigh, Dave Steele, Shane Otis, Mark Trevino, Pat Ryan, Hans Qrepke, Herb Craven, Duane Waterman, Rhonda Reynolds, Denise Mabe, Todd Stahl (second row) Rick Smith, Scott Wat- kins, Carl Fowlkes, Chris Furno, Shannon McKenzie, Sharri Thurber, Melisa Courval, Mindy Watkins, Jon Mundy, Tena Shurboff, Sharon Amick, (third row) Londra Dufor, Shannon McCune, Melissa Fagan, Tammy Henry, April Schoenomen, Robin Elder, Michelle Mitchell, Tonya Hess, Lisa Hays, Kim Springer, Kim Pilot, Nicole Burch, Wendy Smith, Shaun Nolan, Christine Daugherty, Sheri Thiele, Micki Monnin, Bobby Felton, (fourth row) Wendy Ragan, Jennifer Willhoff, Kevin Koenig, Michael Blitz, Eric Merrill, Mike Cox, Keith Jones, Bill Byer, James Constant, Matt Woodside, Dave Orr, Denice Kallmyer, Lauri Seifert, Sharlette Screeton.

Wayne is a small school com- pared to Fort Wayne ' s northern schools, but recently some sports have caused the spotlight to be turned toward us. Volleyball is one of our strongest teams along with boys ' cross country and tennis. Un- fortunately, the lights grew dim when referring to the football team ' s growing number of losses. But throughout the wins and losses, the focus of the General fans is always on what sports are really about — spirit, pride, and teamwork. At times, some of us begin to think that too much emphasis is placed on sports and not enough on academics. But let ' s face it . . . which brings in more money to Wayne High School?

Al- though Hackman changes this small time basketball club into a champion team, he did run into a few obsta- cles. To start with the town wasn ' t too thrilled with Hack- man was being there. Not un- til the star basketball player spoke in Hackmans behalf, did the towns people accept him for the new coach. The towns people weren ' t the only problem, the biggest problem was within the team. They were uncoopera- tive and resented the fact that their last years coach hits Indiana was not back. Many of the players even refused to play. We ' ve come a long way since that time. It seems now every Ittle boy in Indiana wants to become a basket- ball player. Do you blame him? Hey, we ' ve had a movie made about this little state and now we have our very own NCAA championship team, it happened just like the movie too.

The coach of this ten member team, Bill Blosser, said Everyone who ran this year improved a lot over last year. And 1 hope that we will continue to improve. Previously, the school re- cord was held by captain Mi- chelle Aldred, but sopho- more Shannon Dickmeyer broke it with a time of 17:08. Shannon did excellent for her first year of competi- tion. We need more dedi- cated leaders like her, said Aldred. Second through fifth posi- tions on the team varied from meet to meet with run- ners Cheryl West, Amy Bare, Niki Forbing, and Aldred. Caroline Paulison also ran with them, until she was put temporarily out of commis- sion by a fractured leg. The only senior.

A team that began the season whispering and end- ed the season screaming as they brought home the first sectional cross-country title ever for Wayne High School. The team suffered from the early season blues until the two senior captains, Carl Stoker and Jim Kruse, led the team to an amazing fin- ish at the Manchester Invita- tional. The team placed a strong tenth out of thirty teams. They also were beat- ing teams that had previous- ly beaten them. With an excellent fourth place finish at the S.A.C. meet behind them, the team was looking at the possibility of a first ever sectional title. The Wayne Generals were picked to finish fourth, but they walked all over the com- petition placing three run- ners in the top ten, led by the one and two running of sen- iors Stoker and Kruse. The regional meet oc- cured on a cold and rainy Saturday morning. The Gen erals almost missed being contenders for the 1986 semi-state meet; but then they placed fourth beating a state-ranked Snider squad in the process. The team moved on to semi-state. A beautiful day awaited as the team traveled to Man- chester for their date with destiny. Picked to finish tenth, the Generals placed three runners in the top eight. The team finished fourth. A birth at the state meet was now in the hand of the Wayne runners. Among the 16 teams at the state meet, the Wayne guys were the only team that was not state ranked. With most of the team suffering from illness, the Generals placed a disappointing fif- teenth place. In spite of their showing at state, the team had a strong season and was truely a team of destiny. Giving it his all, senior co-captain Jinn Kruse runs liard at a cross-coun- try meet. Jim has been a strong sec- ond runner for the Generals this sea- son. Setting tlie pace, senior cocap- tain Carl Stoker leads the Generals on to victory.

The team played tough but fell just short of a victory in each game they played. The team grew larger in number this year, thanks to the hope of a winning season under the guidance of Coach Gary Lake. A lot more peo- ple went out this year and gave it their all, because of the encouragement from the coach, said sophomore Will Ragle. Lake also added sev- eral new assistants to help out in the coaching of the freshmen, reserve, and varsi- ty squads. The closest the Generals came to gaining a victory oc- cured near the beginning of the season against Bishop Luers. On the day of the game, players paraded through the halls to the cheers of onlooking stu- dents. Another spirit boost for the team was the selling of balloons by the Afro- American club at the Luer ' s game. The game was hard fought and close all the way, until Luers scored late to take the lead, and eventually win 17-13, The season came to an end with a sectional loss to Bellmont.

The girls brought home a third place. The Wayne Invitational was just around the corner where the Generals were de- feated by the future state champions. Although the team lost to Muncie Burris, Wayne captured another third place title. Then the winning streak was back on. They captured the sectional title by beating New Haven in the final round. They also re- mained champions in region- al play, held at Wayne ' s own home gym. The Generals overpowered Snider in the fi- nal match in three games. The Generals played Greenfield Central in the first match of the semi-state. The Generals whipped the Cou- gars in two matches easily. Burris came out on top of Bellmont, which established who would play in the finals. The stands were crowded with many Wayne Generals fans. The fan bus was crowd- ed with many high-spirited teenagers, and several facul- ty members made the drive to Marion to see their girls play. Making it to semi- state took a lot of hard work and dedication. We put our- selves to the test, and we came out on top, said junior Paula Ritchhart. But the girls came out with the short end of the stick. Muncie Burris beat Wayne, 15-6, 15-3. Bur- ris went on to become state champions.

With only three seniors on the squad, and an over- load of underclassmen, the boys were expected to be in the process of rebuilding. The Generals proved to be the surprise of the SAC, by finishing 5-4 in conference play, and upsetting state ranked Harding and SAC leading Luers in their final two conference games. The Generals started out the season slowly, dropping six of their first seven con- tests. As the season hit the midway point, the team started to jell, and finished on a hot streak. After their slow beginning, only once were they defeated by more than five points, a 63-55 loss to Anderson. That ' s quite a turnaround considering they were beaten 74-47 by Muncie Central, and 76-49 by North in the SAC tournament. Bruce Leverette was the most productive senior, scor- ing 8.5 points per game and shooting 75 percent from the charity stripe. Mark Mcin- tosh and Todd Leamon, the other two seniors, played only sparingly. 6 ' 5 sopho- more sensation Mate Tubbs led the Generals in a truck- load of offensive statistics. He scored 14.1 points per game, shot 58 percent from the field, handed out 82 as- sists, and ironically pulled down 82 rebounds. All of these were team highs. Ju- nior guard Jeff Maxwell fin- ished second on the team in scoring at 1 1.8 p.p.g., shoot- ing 49 percent from the field. Todd Soucie, also a junior, led the regulars in free throw percentage at 83 percent. Coach Will Doehrman even played two freshmen on varsity this season. 5 ' 8 guard Damion Wilkins, and 6 ' 1 Dan Moore both re- ceived ample experience to- ward the close of the year. They appeared to blend in with the many other Wayne hoopsters with much poten- tial. Junior Mike Lowery and sophomore Matt Reas guar- terbacked the offense with excellent ball control and crisp passing. They all com- bined into a young, but ma- ture squad by the season ' s finale.

The team played tough all season and was led by out- standing senior players such as Julie Schmela, Jill Hom- rig, and Kate Harrington. The team started off the season by playing exception- ally well and winning their first four straight games. The winning pace slowed, but their dedication and hard work paid off, resulting in a victory filled season. Sectional play went well N [ as the team defeated the Heritage Patriots 54-46 in the first round. In the second match, though, the girls lost in a low scoring game to New Haven, the eventual Section- al Champions. During the regular season the lady Gen- erals knocked off New Ha- ven 57-44. The team boasted two All- SAC team players: Jill Hom- rig and Denise Hagler. This was the second time that Homrig has received this honor.

The team suffered because Coach Rhonda Hyndman left. The two new coaches, Donna Schafer and Julie Wait, worked hard, but it was their first year coach- ing. The gymnasts want to give the coaches credit for everything they ' ve done, commented sophomore Kathy Niedzwiecki, but we do not feel that we ' ve accom- plished enough. Although the coaches did a good job, teammates felt that they did not work them to their full potential. I ' m going to be on the team next year because 1 love the sport, stated soph- omore Jill Elliott, even though I think we need a more demanding coach. According to senior Tammy Correll, The gym- nasts of the 86-87 team had a lot of potential, but they didn ' t work up to it. The team had an average record of 6-8 in the regular season and 2-6 in the SAC. Junior Sandra Tsiguloff worked her way to regionals held at Homestead H.S. She competed in all around, but did not place. Getting ready for her final tum- bling pass, Jill Elliott sets up for her most difficult maneuver of the rou- tine.

Finish- ing the regular season with only two losses, they ad- vanced to Sectionals. Win- ning the Sectionals didn ' t seem to be a problem to var- sity wrestler Phil Grimme, We expected to win that one — it was more fun than anything. Then our Wayne wrestlers went on to Regionals held at Carroll where they advanced five to Semi-state. They fin- ished 28 points ahead of Con- cordia, who were in third place, and missed the first place title won by Carroll by four and one half points. Wayne finished the highest of all the SAC teams. The Generals to advance to Semi-state were Scott Lahr, weighing in at 185 lbs., Steve Mix at 126 lbs., Tim Wallace at 145 lbs., Shawn Bergoff at heavyweight, and Will Ragle at 138 lbs.. Ragle was the only undefeated Wayne grappler up to State.

We weren ' t really pre- pared, said Ragle. We should have at least finished in the top four.   e. V % Ragle wins again! Ragle brought home the only first place from the Goshen Semi-State meet.

I ' m really look- ing forward to next year ' s season, hoping to improve my skills as a varsity golfer, said Cory Leeper. Leeper was the most experienced golfer on the team this year. He received three varsity let- ters in golf. Leeper, along with Tony Churchward, Paul Nelson, Jeff Jackson, Sean Fergu- son, and Scott Melton cap- tured varsity positions on the golf team this year. These golfers put up a re- cord of 6-7 this season. We had several extremely close matches, said Leeper. During sectionals this year each golfer had a chance to show his unique golfing abili- ties, and compete against other area golfers. Leeper led the Generals with an 81. Jackson and Ferguson fol- lowed with an 83 and 85. Melton and Chruchward also displayed their talent with scores of 86, and 87 respec- tively. The Generals placed eleventh out of the nineteen team field. The sectional match was played at Wayne ' s home turf, Brook- wood Golf Club. At the City Meet, also known as the SAC, Jackson, a freshman for Wayne ' s golf team won a ribbon for plac- ing thirteenth. Ribbons are given to the top fifteen finish- ers. Jackson was one of the three freshmen on the golf team this year, along with Ferguson and Melton. The golf team was without any senior members this year, but junior Leeper seemed to pull up leadership, with the help of Coach Murray Men- denhall. The Generals ended their season with an SAC record of 3-6 and placed eighth in the final SAC standings. 1 was satisfied with the golf team ' s season, and 1 have high goals and standards al- ready set for next year ' s team, said Mendenhall.

After losing nearly allof their pitching staff, leading base stealer, and best power hitter, the Generals appeared to need some rebuilding. Well, that wasn ' t the story as the team ended the year in a four-way tie for the SAC title. On May 19, the Generals defeated archrival and divi- sion leading Elmhurst 2-1, finishing the season 6-3 in the conference. Senior J.J. Moody was the only returning member of the phenomenal ' 86 pitching staff who played on a regular basis. But, in ' 87, the story of the year was a newcomer to the staff. Sophomore sensa- tion Chris Thomas picked up seven victories on the sea- son, including the key win over Elmhurst. Two of his victories were complete game shutouts. He also was among the top the SAC in strikeouts, E.R.A., and won ost percentage for most of the year. Thomas was named SAC honorable men- tion. The experience and ma- turity of Moody and the im- provement of Joe Clayton and Don Klejnot helpe d bal- ance the ptiching attack. In the hitting department, senior catcher Jim Read pro- vided power and clutch hit- ting when the Generals need- ed it most. He was named first team All-SAC and was one of the top defensive catchers in the city. He also tied the school home run re- cord. Second baseman Brian Clements, a junior, suprised many with his power hitting. He was among the team lead- ers in home runs and I ' s for most of the season. He also was the teams leader in bat- ting average and was near the top in runs scored. Sen- ior Matt Schwartz also pro- vided the Generals with pow- er and a consistent bat all year. He ranked with Cle- ments at the top for many offensive categories. Schwartz had the team ' s best batting average. In other areas, outfielder Kyle Roe, a junior, was the Rick ey Henderson of Fort Wayne high school baseball, leading by far and away in the stolen base department, and breaking the school re- cord. Junior shortstop Todd Soucie had a consisent year at the plate and combined with Clements for a slick double play combination. Ju- nior Dave Zimski was, like Roe, the type of player op- posing pitchers hated to see on the on the base paths. Breaking away from the huddle, junior Kyle Roe walks back out to centerfield while pitchers J.J. Moody and Matt Reas switch posi- tions. As Matt begins to pitch, J.J. plays third. Preparing himself for the game, senior Matt Schwartz guards first base with the hopes of getting the batter out.

They only lost two regular SAC matches, which earned them the second spot in the final SAC standings behind Snider. The season started off with seven straight wins, and the lady Generals appeared to be unstoppable. The girls even defeated Biship Dwenger, which was an all time first for Wayne tennis. The score of that match was 3-2. Although the loss to Snider was disappointing, the girls continued to work hard and to defeat practical- ly everyone else they played. In Sectionals the girls drew Homestead for the first round of play, and ended their season in that match. The lady Generals were led by a team that consisted of all but one Senior. Julie Schmela played at number one, Katie Harrington at number two, and Jill Werling at number three. In doubles, the All-SAC team of Jill Hom- rig and Kim Ragle played at number one, and Maria Og- neoff with her doubles part- ner played number two. Ju- niors Amy Lunz and Trish Harrington alternated throughout the season as Ogneoff ' s partner. The season went great, said Ragle, and we won more matches than we could have ever expected to.

GIRLS ' TENNIS 3 occer team finishes 5-4 on season e ' V e played a lot better than our record shows, said sophomore Doug Dafforn when commenting on the Wayne Soccer Club ' s out- door season. The club fin- ished with a 5-4 record with victories over Huntington North, New Haven, Concor- dia, Elmhurst, and Harding. We have been better, said junior John Heinerich, But we played really good in key games. Going into the first game with hopes of starting out on the right foot, the club put on an excellent show, as they took Hunting- ton North in wet weather 2-1 . Sophomore Mike Zumbragel and senior Greg Korte scored for the Generals. The next outing took them to host New Haven, where they clobbered the Bulldogs 6-2. In the third matchup, the club hosted its first home game against visiting Con- cordia. With excellent speed and passing the club took the Cadets 5-1. Sophomore Doug Dafforn took the Ca- dets for a ride as he scored his first hat-trick (three goals) of the year. The thrills of victory were met with the agony of defeat, however, as the host Spar- tans of Homestead took the exhausted Generals 5-1, with the only goal coming from senior Scott Cornett in the fi- nal minutes of play. We had a bad time han- dling the ball, said Dafforn, The wind was a real factor in keeping our scoring down. The wind was no factor in the fifth match of the season as the Generals took their second loss of the season to visiting South Side 4-1. De- spite a 1-1 tie at the midway, the club ' s defense fell apart in the last half. Or against Elmhurst in the sixth game, junior goalie Heinerich com- piled a fifteen save shutout as the Generals pounced the Trojans 4-0. In the next game, the Gen- erals took a disappointing loss to the Bishop Luers club, 2-1. Leading through- out the first half, Luers tied and scored the winning goal with just five minutes left in the game. Dafforn scored Wayne ' s only goal. In the final game of the regular season the Generals hosted the Canterbury School Club. With excellent play by this club the Gener- als had their hands full as Canterbury handed Wayne its first shutout of the sea- son, 5-0. We were playing really sloppy, said Heiner- ich, Everybody was trying to take the ball upfield all by themselves, without any passing at all. Blocking out a Carroll kick, a Wayne player enables Mikhail Svendson to steal the ball and head to the Wayne goal. Carroll eliminat- ed Wayne in the first game of the tourney.

Several of the corss-country competitors were on this year ' s team. Under the direc- tion of Head Coach Nelson Detwiler, both teams showed up in Indianapolis. The 1987 boys ' track team was a dominant force throughout the season. The Generals finished with a 4-3-1 record in dual meets and a championship in the Lime City Relays. Bruce Leverette brought home a first place in the long jump. Six teams competed in the Relays. Senior captains James Capers, James Kruse, Carl Stoker, and Leverette pro- vided the leadership to pace the team. All four advanced through the sectional, with Kruse finishing first in the 1600m. run. Winning the sectional was the greatest moment in my four years at Wayne, said Kruse. Kruse had been beaten in the 1600m. the week before by a Northrop runner in the SAC meet at Northrop. At the sectional meet held here at Wayne, Kruse returned the favor by beating him. Kruse finished with a first place respectively. Kruse took third place at the Wayne reglonals; coming in behind runners from Elkhart Memorial and Central. Leverette kept consisten- cy by receiving second place in the SAC, sectionals, and regionals. Leverette finished second in the regionals after Hopkins from North Side. The team continued its success with four qualifiers in the state meet. Corey Green advanced in the 110m. high hurdles by plac- ing fifth, Leverette in the long jump, Kruse in the 1600m., and Stoker in the 3200m. Stoker also set a new school record with his second place finish in region- als. Trying to keep his balance, Terry Washington completes his long jump. Washington will be a strong competitor in the future for Wayne. Aim high, junior Steve Read tries out the high jump. Read has been on the track team three years.

Other high notes of the season were that DeAnn Booth, who fills the second base posi- tion, was named to the All SAC first team. Named to the second team were pitch- er Lisa Reyes, right fielder Dawn Tucker, and shortstop Rhonda Reynolds. Overall the Lady Generals started off their season on the wrong note. After win- ning the first game the Gen- erals then began to lose big to the next three opponents. Following the Dwenger loss the team seemed to get in the swing of things and over- came the state ranked New Haven team in a one run game. From there the season began to go back and forth from wins to losses, up until the last double-header of the season, which the Generals split with East Noble. When Sectional time came the Generals played South Side and defeated them easily. After winning the first game they were sent to play state-ranked New Ha- ven, and won in the final in- ning of the game. They then had to tackle another state- ranked team, Bellmont. The Generals could not keep their heads above water and drowned by the fifth inning. Considering that we had to play three games within a 24-hour period and in the hot temperature, I feel we played well in the Sectional, said Coach Smith. A 3 ' m Sprinting to first base.

The girls began their sea- son by defeating Bellmont and South Adams, while the second meet against Snider and Concordia was can- celled. The Generals then lost their only meet against an S.A.C. team to South Side. In Sectional action, the girls ' placed fourth out of thirteen teams with Lisa Ken- drix leading the Generals in the discus.

Third places went to Tammy Correll in the long jump, Shalon Johnson in the 200 meter dash, and Denise Hagler in the 800 meter run all of which advanced to Re- gionals for their perfor- mances. Bridgette Howard joined the group by picking up a fourth place in the 100 meter dash. Wayne ' s 1500 meter relay team fell short of making the Regional trip by placing fifth and contributing to the over- all team score. Howard, Cor- rell, Johnson, and Kendrix made up the 400 meter relay team which not only defeat- ed Northrop and Snider for the first time this year, but also placed second and ad- vanced to Regionals. During Regional action, Kendrix again broke her own school record and set a new Regional meet record with a throw of 139 ' 8 . Hagler re ceived third place honors in the 800 meter run, as this had only been the third time she had run that particular race. Along with those two indi- viduals who advanced to state, the 400 meter relay team placed third and joined them. With will and determination, Yvette Howard shows the energy it takes to pass her opponents in the 100 meter hurdles. Her two years on the team have shown that she is more than just another runner.

Yes, it ' s starring you. You — the students, the facul- ty, and the administration — make up the cast. You are the people in the spotlight, and you did an out- standing performance. Wait, just who did you perform for? Why, each other!! Take the freshman for example. Who did they admire? Who do they re- spect? Who was in the spotlight for them? The seniors of course. They couldn ' t wait to be the leaders once again, like they were in the eighth grade. But then again, the freshman were in the spotlight for the administration. It is important for the administration to help the freshman make sure that they feel comfortable in Wayne. And we all know that everyone looks up to the administration to keep us all in perfect order. The sophomores look up to the juniors the people who are finally upperclassmen. And the juniors also look up to the seniors because now they are so close to reaching the destination that they dreamed of in their fresh- man year. And of course the faculty per- tains to the seniors spotlight. Sen- iors depend on the faculty to lead them in the right direction; to help them achieve the goals they dreamed of pursuing. The faculty looks upon the students, envying them all while they reminisce over their loss of high school days they wish were back. Everyone at Wayne has their purpose for making it well worth the time to just open up your year- book and enjoy the front seats. You did it, you made it. You are THE MAIM ATTRACTION. You are IN THE SPOTLIGHT. In the spotlight during Homecoming week are Qlor- ita Brown, Earl Loveday, and Jose Ramirez dress for the ever-famous Crazy Day. Stu- dents enjoy spirit week, more than any other week of the school year.

Everyone tries to get involved during special oc casions, such as Homecoming Christmas, United Way Fund Drive Sectional Weeks, and most anything for a good cause. The students, teach ers, and even administrators are in THE SPOTLIGHT. We couldn ' t have had such a great year without you. You are Wayne High School. - IN THE SPOTLIGHT C sical education A dministration can sometimes be la- beled as the bad guys. But, in reality they aren ' t here to hurt us. They didn ' t get up everyday and dream up new ways to torment us. They installed a new alcometer this year. It can measure the level of alcohol content in your blood. The student will be asked to breathe into the machine, and it could register the content level. We ' re not out to catch people drinking. Hopefully this could deter students from coming to sporting events, or school activi- ties after they have been drinking, said Mr. Ornales, Dean of Boys ' at Wayne. We hope it deters drinking. Besides installing the alcometer, the ad- ministration seemed to lighten up on the dress code. They didn ' t seem to be send- ing as many people home, as they did last year, said Tammie Kiessling. Last year if a girl came to school with a mini-skirt she was sent home before she turned around. Now, I ' ve seen several this year and they last the whole day, said Kiessling.

Dr. White seemed to be a good influence on the young people at Wayne. His physic has given off a stance of authority, but, he ' s always more than happy to listen to any student, parent, or teacher. He has found ways to let us have some pep sessions this year, said junior Amy Nagel. I can re- member my freshman year we didn ' t have a single pep session. I think the student body really appreciates the sacrifices made by the faculty and administration here at Wayne, said Nagel. They really improved this year, but re- member there ' s always more room for im- porvement, said junior Susan Turner. They started to relax more with the rules this year. School went along the same as always, but 1 had a lot of fun this year, said turner. They were really great in supporting the athletic events this year. I saw administra- tors at the volleyball matches that I had never seen attend before, said junior Jo- sette Simerman. Even at the semi-state match, they all drove down to see it in Mar- ion. (II Dr. Eugene White Frank Houk Raymond Moore Robert Ornelas Donna Parker Gary Patterson Dr. Don Null Susan Hedges Peggy Koryl SECRETARIES The secretaries were an essential part of this school year, insuring that our school ran smoothly and efficiently. Mrs. Barb Milleff, who works in the main office for Dr. White, said that her job is to answer the phone, file letters, type, and work with the word processor. She stated that she really enjoys the contact she has with the students and teachers. Mrs. Stanczak, who also works in the main office, said that her job is to answer the phone and greet the students and visitors. I like to talk with people. That ' s the most interesting part of my job , she added. The Student Services secretary, Mrs. Heidel- berg, stated that she enjoys her work for the deans. But, some unusual things have happened Once, while I was doing my work, I tipped back in my chair with my legs at a ninety degree angle. I yelled for help, but my service workers just stared at me. It was so humiliating! Mrs. Heidelberg ' s daughter, Kris, says that she doesn ' t mind that her mother works here, ex- cept for the fact that her mom sees her report card before she does. Mrs. Imler is the regis- ter and secretary for the counselers. She is also the receptionist in the Guidance Office. I like being around students! she ex- claimed. Mrs. Rouns ' job in the main office is to do all the enrollment, schedules, and purchasing. She said that she enjoys her job because it is everchanging. Helping out in the Athletics Depart ment Office this year was Mrs. Brendel. She works one hour in the main office and one hour in the Guidance Office. She also programs the message in the commons and publishes Wayne ' s newsletter. She is very supportive of her son Todd, and travels with him during band competitions. Wayne ' s secretaries are very im- portant at Wayne, and our school could not run without them. She ' s always willing to do more, said a student. Mrs. Rouns checks out a situation with Mrs. Mileff.

Teachers have heard so many excuses from students. As a matter of fact, they say they ' ve heard them all. The more creative students have come up with some outrageous ones. Teachers have al- ways heard excuses for late homework. Mrs. Mack ' s favorite of all time was, My dog ate it. But Mr. Fox said the funniest he ' s ever heard was My sister tore it up, because she was mad at me. These may or may not be some of the excuses you have heard in class. Teaching study hall, for Miss Lowe, is a very hard job. She has heard a lot of ex- cuses for talking. Everyone always says they didn ' t say anything. The excuse she remembers the best from one of her students is that he was talking to himself. Sometimes students can ' t help being late to school and or class. But the excuses that they come up with are sometimes dumb. Mrs. Love said her students always say that they couldn ' t open their locker. The honest ones usually say that they were using the bathroom. When coming to school late we should all know we have to stop in at the attendance office. Mrs. Blue says the common excuses for not coming to school are flu, colds, and or fevers. The not so common excuses like I had to catch my dog, and I ' m having some female problems, are usually safe to consider pranks. Maybe Waynes ' teachers have heard them all, but then again maybe they haven ' t. We still know we can get away with some of the simple ones. But who are the teachers to say that some of these excuses aren ' t true? For all they know, maybe the dog did eat the assignment, or maybe there really was a jammed locker, or maybe the students are just great actors and actresses. I can usually whip out a good lie to my teachers. Drama has helped me in more ways than 1 thought possible, said Chris Such. The students can lie, and will lie about homework, but they will always experience the guilty feelings. The worst feeling is to look around the room and everyone is getting out their assignments, and you forgot to do yours, said Amy Grant.

They are always willing to spend extra hours here at Wayne in or- der to help the students correct the mis- take they ' ve made and show them how to do it right next time. Some teachers feel class should be fun as well as an educational experience. They feel if you have to learn why not make it as fun as possible? Mr. Master- son, who teaches science, has his funny moments. When a person falls asleep they receive the Panda Award. This is a panda bear put on the persons desk for when they wake up, When they awake, they write their name on a poster board and every time the fall asleep, they get a gold star. After so many gold stars they re- ceive a detention. It doesn ' t sound like much fun? Well, when you ' re awake and the person next to you is asleep it can be pretty funny to see Mr. Masterson tiptoe over there and place the pan- da bear on their desk, commented senior Gary Robinson. It also helps them to re- member not to fall asleep in his class and pay more attention to what is being studied, stated senior Greg Korte. Getting in on the fun. Miss Weaver peddles for the teachers team at the Homecoming Big Wheel race. Mr. Masterson isn ' t the only teacher who trys to provide a fun but learning experience in the classroom. Mr. Lucas, a history teacher, holds debates in his class just to help his students under- stand a little about how a political debate happens. It can be fun to debate about a favorite topic and why it ' s your favorite topic. Teachers do a lot for the student body. They try to have more clubs for them to enjoy. When they are short on adminis- trators at a dance. teach- ers are always willing to help chaper- one, or help coach a sports team.

The Party Animals ' ou know those types of students . . . you can see them lurking in the halls, creeping around the corners and sneaking past unsuspecting classmates . . . they ' re known as no other than the Party Animals . Every class has them, every school has them. In fact, every neighborhood has them. You just can ' t get rid of them. The symptoms of such an Animal is merely when you say, What are you doing this weekend? and they say, Party!!! Now basically we know that parties can be divided into three categories: casual, mild, and absolutely wild! The casual ones are when the neighbors come over for milk and cookies and you all gossip about Wanda and the milk man. Mild parties are where the birthday girl sup- plies party hats and favors, and wild parties ar e when bashful Mervin takes off his tie, jams to Twist and Shout on the kitchen table and accidentally pins the tail on the wrong donkey. Well, seriously, we know that there are more kinds of parties than there are hats in Princess Diana ' s closet. But whether it ' s a kool-aid party or a kegger party, the important thing is that the people had a good time.

What really makes these DJ services unique is that Wayne students work for both. Kevin Jackson and Bill Gannon, both Wayne students, work for Sounds 1, and Read works for Unique Light- ing. 1 mostly help set up equipment, and fix faulty wiring, test sound, things like that, said Read. But since he ' s been at this awhile, he now chooses records and DJ ' s at the dances. It ' s always fun to do dances here. Follis and everybody is such a good time.

The idea was brought up by Marielle Dobbies, our Belgium foreign exchange student. In Belgium, in their last year of school, if one had 99 days left they had a party, and this is our senior class ' way of celebrating. Also, when someone had 99 to 100 days that they had served in the army, they are considered a double-digit midget. The MORP was also held in place of last year ' s semi-formal Christmas Dance. Elaine Reust, senior class president, said, Last year ' s Christ- mas formal did not go over that well. Many people were bored and only 50 couples attended. The MORP had a theme opposite the prom. Instead of dressing up, they dressed down It was a chance to scum out and not feel uncomfortable or out of place. I had a really great time, stated Stacy Sorg. Pictures were taken in black and white with a junkyard background. Toward the end of the dance, a gnik and a neeuq were crowned (king and queen spelled backwards). They were A ar■ ielle Dobbies and Steve Amick. The gnik and the neeuq were given Burger King hats and black roses.

At all of the pep sessions, who wins all of the spirit con- tests? THE SENIORS! At lunch, it ' s the SENIORS who allow the underclassmen to sit at the same blessed table. When the SENIORS walk down the hall, it ' s the under- classmen who get out of the way. And who ' gets to have an official skip day? THE SENIORS, of course! And who gets to be capitalized all Putting in an appearance, seniors Tonya Silvers, Greg Korte, and Scott Ryan attend tlie Halloween Dance. throughout this article?

Seniors try to make the most of their last year with their friends from so many years. Parties, get togethers, and acts of rebellion are a MAIN AT- TRACTION for all of the hard- working seniors.

She is interested in taking a few Art and Science classes, then will enter graduate school with the hope of becoming a Medical Il- lustrator. The teacher who has affected her the most at Wayne, is her volleyball coach, Mr. Phil Morey. One time I asked Morey to demonstrate a volleying drill for us, so he immediately flipped through the air, landed on his shoulder, and broke it!

TOPTEN Imbody to Wabash Shaun Imbody, ranked third in his class, plans to attend Wabash College. He wishes to major in Chemistry and minor in some sort of foreign lan- guage. Grades came easy for me, but my advice would be to pay attention and to take your classes serious- ly. Qualifying for schol- arships was enough moti- vation for Imbody to achieve academic excel- lence. Two staff members af- fected Imbody more than any of the others — Mr. Stu Crum and Mr. Lowell Shearer. Mr. Crum helped me to formulate my career goals, and Mr. Shearer kept me out of trouble. Schmidt ranked as number four Thanks, folks The main reason for fourth-ranked Julia Schmidt ' s success is her up-bringing. My parents have always been very supportive and have encouraged me to be the best that I can be. Schmidt plans to attend Purdue where she will major in Pharmacy. Her only moti- vation will be the feeling of satisfaction she will get from knowing that the work she has done paid off. According to Schmidt, there is no real secret for success in school. The way to do well is to just do your best on every home- work assignment and every test. Don ' t just worry about your grades; do something about them. The Peter ' s Experience For fifth-ranked Brian Schnitker, grades are not everything. He suggests, Relax, and don ' t let things bother you too much. Schnitker plans to attend college after graduation to major in photography. He really didn ' t know the reason for his suc- cess in school. He claimed he worked some but never really killed himself over it. I guess the gods smiled on me. The teacher who affected Schnitker the most at Wayne was Mr. Al Peters. No spe- cific event, just Peters as a whole. He called it The Mr. Peter ' s Experience. Minick decides to major in art education After High School, Laurie Min- ick plans to attend Pillsbury Bap- tist Bible College in Minnesota. Minick believes that the reason for her success would be her parents ' support. Without them keeping after me to do my homework, it would never have gotten done! Minick has decided to major in Elementary Art Education. The teacher who has motivated her to- ward this field was Mrs. Barbara Thexton. She helped Minick to de- velop her artistic abilities and to build her self-confidence. On her way to LCI. Jill Werlings ' only re- ward in school was that by getting good grades, she would be accepted at i.CJ. She said that success comes from hard work and 1 have put many hours into this school. After graduation, Werling plans to attend I.CJ. to major in chemis- try and education. Her advice to underclass- men would be to pay attention in class and to set time aside each night to study the ma- terial. Werling used this method of study- ing to help her achieve a sixth-place ranking in her class. The teacher who has grossly affected me in high school would be Mr. John Sawyer. He has greatly influenced my deci- sions in deciding to never visit, let alone attend Purdue (Jniversity. Self-satisfaction does reward Self-satisfaction is the re- ward behind Steve Amicks ' success. The advice he gives to underclassmen is to be as active as possible in after- school functions. Get the most out of your high school career. Amick plans to attend Wa- bash College to major in chemistry. He then will go on to graduate school and spe- cialize in either nuclear chemistry or bio-chemistry. The teachers who have helped me the most at Wayne have been Mr. Rick Smith and Mr. Stu Crum. Not only did they help me to succeed as a student, but they both helped me to grow as an individual also. Athletically inclined Jim Reads ' success has been attributed to his self-motiva- tion. I have high standards when it comes to academics and athletics. Read is planning to major in accounting, with a possible mi- nor in sports medicine. He will either be attending Indiana State University or The Univer- sity of Michigan to play base- ball. Read suggests paying atten- tion in class because what is usually in the lectures is usually on the tests. Read also com- mented, The only rewards I may get are academic scholar- ships for college and personal pleasure because I ' ve done it on my own. Graduating mid-term Endurance and self-motiva- tion was how tenth-ranked Rob Talbott achieved success at Wayne High School. Talbott had endurance not only in cross country, but also in his studies. I ' m not the 5- hour study type, but I do try to do my best at everything I work on. Talbott decided to be a Janu- ary graduate, this year. His deci- sion did not effect his ranking, because Wayne established the final rankings at the end of the first semester, instead of the ;hird quarter.

His main duty on the job is to deliver products for the company. Giving up part of their senior year El ' edlcated but often unseen and jgill little recognized, many DECA and COE students give up much of their senior year to get a head start on a future career. Most of the students involved in the DECA COE program leave after third period, and go straight to their jobs. While senior COE student Cindy Embrey enjoys her secretarial job at Lincoln Life, she commented that she did feel left out of some school activities. I really miss the pep assemblies. Embrey admitted. Many of the students hope to keep their jobs after they graduate, and consider the work program a step to- ward their future career choice. Nev- ertheless, along with the good as- pects of the job, there are also sacrifices along the way. For seniors Jackie Colderbank and Teresa Harris, getting jobs with COE meant giving up cheerleading. It was hard choos- ing between the two, Teresa said. Harris works as a dental assistant at Dr. Hagadorn ' s office. Leaving school early does have its advantages though. As Mark Saylor, a salesperson at Spiece, commented, At least I know I have my Friday and Saturday nights off. PCJTT ' N IN THE TIME Keeping the restaurant sparkling clean, Laurie Sims waxes the counters at Arbys. There are many duties and responsibilities that go along with this job. From his Marketing Education Class, Mark Saylor learns the business skills that will help him in his job at Spiece. He can usually be seen there helping customers in the shoe depart- ment. Taylor puts in the time at Payless l l or Robert Taylor, ll sl driving to work is no short drive. Employed at Payless Shoe Store at Glenbrook Mall, Robert has the chore of driving across town every day to get to work. While Robert does admit that it ' s a drag sometimes, he really en- joys his job at Payless. I like it a lot, Taylor com- mented. Robert has many re- sponsibilities at the store, among them, stocking shelves, helping custom- ers, and running the cash register. Taylor has been working at Payless for about a year, and plans to stay on through next sum- mer. While working hard at Pay- less in Glenbrook, Robert Tay- lor finds shoes for his custom- ers. He also takes inventory in his spare time. PUTT ' N IN THE TIME Flirting is definitely an art Spending time together, Joe Carcione and Paula Ritchhart admit to a little lionest flirting ... but not with each other. se retif Flirting is probably the favorite past- time for guys as well as girls. Some live to flirt, and others only flirt when there is nothing better to do. Two old time flirts are seniors Tammy Kiessling and Jim Kruse, both of which have been tied down with that special person for quite a while. I have to admit that I used to be a pretty big flirt, but I ' ve cooled down a lot in these past couple of years, says Kruse. On the other hand, Kiessling comments, I ' m not that big of a flirt, but I couldn ' t live without it. However, if I ' m going with someone, I ' m always faithful. Every year new flirts develop and come into THE SPOTLIGHT. Two new pros- pects are juniors Kris Byerley and Todd Soucie. Byerley comments that the key to being a good flirt is the ability to establish an effective line. I saw this good looking Footlocker employee in the patio at the mall, so I bought a fortune cookie and read my prophecy. It said ' you will meet a person who will help you financially. ' So I went up to him and asked him if they were hiring. I ended up talking to him for a half an hour. Then of course there ' s the not-so-di- rect approach. Todd Soucie flatly denied be- Mons ing a flirt, but that wasn ' t what all the girls said. Concludes junior Trish Harrington, I think the world needs flirts. If there wasn ' t such a thing as flirting, then those poeple wouldn ' t know how to communicate! Although some people flirt on purpose, others do it without even thinking. Some- times, people think I ' m flirting but actually, it ' s my ' hyper ' personality! comments Jill Fitzharris. Even though flirting is a popular pastime, it can lead some people onto the wrong idea. Sometimes, if you ' re flirting and you don ' t know it, it can get you into big trouble ... So you ' ve got to be careful! said Stacy Sorg. Flirting seems to be in the eye of the beholder. I think a lot can be determined from your eyes, said Amber Garver.

The people are great, and the extra money is really wonderful. Most of the other students seem to agree that the money is the best part of working, though they disagree on what to do with it once they get their checks. Susan Turner said she tries to save as much as she can for insurance on her car and for college. On the other hand, Jill Elliott says, I spend it on clothes. I don ' t have the discipline to save it, because I don ' t have anything to save it for. Others who save their money for a purpose are Shannon McKen- zie, who is planning to buy her father a diamond ring for Christ- mas, and Debe Allen, who plans to go shopping at Onion Station in Indianapolis. While at work mishaps often occur. These things can be as in- nocent as mixing up an order on a busy day to having a slightly ob- scene slip of the tongue while the mind is a little distracted. Turner who works as Hall ' s on Bluffon Road, recalls her most embarrassing moment, My station was full, and there were these people who had been waiting for their food. I was car- rying this chicken dinner and my foot got stuck or something and the next thing I knew a chicken wing had flown off a plate and slid across the floor and had stopped right by this lady ' s foot. When I came back to my station after getting another piece of chicken, all the people laughed at me. Chris Elliott, who works with his sister Jill at Atz ' s South, said he ' s had so many embarrassing things happen to him at work that it ' s hard to pick out just one. Some of the things he mentioned were dropping a tray of water glasses during a rush, walking out of the back with a pair of funky sunglasses on, and ripping his pants while he was at work. The guys are great. The cooks are funny and make you feel good about being there, says McKenzie who works at the Empire Restaurant. Most other students agree that there are other advantages to working than the money. Allen, who works at McDonald ' s on Goshen Road, said. The managers are nice. If you do something wrong, they don ' t yell at you, they explain what you did wrong so you won ' t do it again. Also, they appreciate the work experience. Elliott said, It gives you work experience while you ' re young, so its not such a big challenge when you get older. Allen also likes the fact that she can work at more than one O.

Some students save their Saturdays for sleeping or hanging around a friend ' s house. On Saturdays I usually sleep until noon and then go to a friend ' s house, said Shannon Dickmeyer. Others spend Saturday afternoons going to games or watching them on T.V. I usual- ly watch Indiana Hoosier Basketball, said Doug Keele. Liz Cardenas, a new transfer student from Janesville, Wisconsin does the twenty minute work-out and jogs on Saturdays. Many of the Wisconsin students congregate at the food patio at Southtown Mall. We get together and discuss old times, or what ' s going on back home, said Cardenas. A lot of students spend their Saturday afternoons working around the house. Sophomore Mathan Herber spends his Sat- urday afternoons mowing his lawn. I usu- ally get stuck picking up toilet paper after being T-peed the night before, said Mark Werling. Scott Pepper usually works on his car or does his homework. Every Satur- day since the beginning of the Christmas season I ' ve been working at the Limited, said Maria Ognenoff. Glenbrook is so busy during this time. You can meet a lot of Wayne students at Southtown Mall on Saturday afternoons. During the Christmas season the malls are overwhelmed with Fort Wayne students. This is a good place to meet kids from other schools, said Susan Turner. Hang- ing out at the food patio can offer you a great place to sit and talk. Others are shopping to find just the right outfit for a hot date they might have that night. No matter what anyone does on Satur- days its always nice to have a day off from classes. But Monday always seems to come too soon. rittatnf ftn c Irifrfar A morgue. To most people a vision of covered bodies and a horror movie atmosplnere is what represents a morgue the best. But to some, like Rodney Wilkinson, it ' s just a place of em- ployment. Wilkinson is a junior at Wayne and is employed at D.O. McComb funeral home on Lake Ave. Rodney is employed as a student and usually works every other night on what he calls the night crew. Wilkinson learned about the job from one of his friends at Wayne, Brian Myers. Myers who is also employed at the funeral home, told Wilkinson about his father looking for someone to work at the funeral home. Wilkinson, having been working at another fu- neral home for two months, gladly accepted the job. Usually Wilkinson has to spend the night at the funeral home. Although Wilkinson admits nothing weird or spooky goes on, he does admit that he and some of the workers do have some fun. Most of their time is spent on the third floor of the building and not in the basement where the morgue is located. Most of the duties that Rodney is involved in is removals from hospitals and pick ups from accident scenes. When asked what he thought about when he picked up bodies Wilkinson commented, I just think of it as a living. I don ' t think of it as a body, just a job. We pick it up and move it. Hoping to go in mortition school after high school, Wilkinson wants to pursue his job as a career. And after asking Wilkinson if picking up the bodies from some scenes ever affected him he simply commented, When it doesn ' t affect me, that ' s when it ' s time to quit my job.

He goes to The Vet Cen- ter to help counselors with children of Viet- nam Veterans. It began with Jason visiting The Vet Cen- ter to help with his own crisis, dealing with his father ' s war wounds, but instead of stopping after two years he kept going. This time he went to help other teen-agers ike him. It helps kids to learn that they ' re not the only one going through these problems, said Galloway. The Vet Center helps teen-agers to deal with other problems they might also have. Jason said that one boy was sent there as part of his parole and he had to be forced to stay in the room — literally. The attendence varies incredi- bly. One week only three people would show up and the next Can we talk? Dispatch reporter Michelle Aldred spends time talking with Jason Galloway about his interesting home life. there would be thirty three. Galloway has seen people from Wayne. Kids want to talk to other kids who know where they ' re coming from, he said. Most of the counseling takes place on a group level. It is also very confidential. People have this thing about going for help to counselors, psychiatrists and the like, said Galloway. The Vietnam War was tragic, and very hard on people. People are still living with the scars. Last year when they gave the Viet- nam Vets a ticker tape parade was a very proud moment for them. It was the first time that they had been recognized since they came back. I saw the movie Platoon three times and I felt it was very realistic. My father who was in the Vietnam War went with me the third time, and ran out of the movie during the mid- dle, said Galloway. Galloway drew pictures and hung them at Glenbrook where Platoon started. I ' m very involved with the Center, and I think it ' s doing a lot of good work. I know I ' ve spoken to other Vets children and they seem to understand some things that 1 go through. The group sessions really seem to bring out more feelings. I ' m just glad that I became involved in the program.

Ranging from the all im- portant green vegetables to greasy sloppy hamburgers. Also, a lot of kids eat some pretty strange foods. The most popular time of the day for a snack attack is after school. The first thing most students do when they get home from school is eat. Niki Forbing exclaimed, When 1 get home from school I eat any- thing 1 can possibly find. Such as dill pick- les and peanut butter! No one eats wierder food then 1 do, stated Sabie Garza. 1 eat taco salad and honey dew melon all mixed together. One of my favorites is pickles, tomato sauce, and lemon juice. It is not as bad as it sounds. As you can tell, nutrition does not play a major role in students snack attacks at Wayne. Senior Scott Pepper munches down on a bag of potato chips every day after school. It ' s a habit, 1 guess. However, some people just gobble down whatever they see, while others take time out to display their artistic talent and create a new work of edible art. One time at a slumber party 1 was dared to eat an incredibly gross sandwich made up of mayonnaise, cheese, peanut butter, and Pringles potato chips. It looked pretty putrid, but it actually didn ' t taste all that bad. The only thing that really got to me was the fact that it crunched, commented sophomore Sheri Thiele. Whether the inventions you make are simple and to the point, kinds of food like bananas with peanut butter and jelly on bread, still satisfies those uncontrollable urges that linger in ou r tummies. But yet we must not forget these crav- ings that occur to us in the middle of the night. What satisfies them? Surely it isn ' t warm milk and cookies. How about a junior dagwood make out of everything possible (except salami, of course)? That ' s what Scott Pepper says fulfills his empty hunger pains at the wee late hours. However, Rick Quinones goes for the full meal deal. We ' re talking BBQ chips, bologna sand- wiches, and Pepsi cola time. No matter what time those hunger pains decide to hit, you can always conjure up something to grub on. Snack attacks never fail to do that to you when you least expect it. But just eat a candy bar and you won ' t ever have to worry again! Cnr.s-ian liviV iiM I Ex.sr, Donna Iji y-. Indiana DLjrr.ar. MauriT : Djv vjv Man Eldtr Jill Ellioli Brian Elsttn Pamela Ely aid F.

Once a month she went to Indianapolis to attend meetings, in- stead of having adults make the deci- sions, they formed the SAB to get stu- dents ' ideas on ways to reduce drunk driving, she said. Gregory received the opportunity to be on the Task Force by being the Vice- President of the GADD chapter at Wayne. Now, she meets with others around the state to publish a newsletter that went out to alcohol treatment cen- ters and SADD chapters throughout the state. She also helped to create ways to make chapters more active, such as awareness puppet shows held at elemen- tary schools. Over the summer Gregory attended a special seminar held at Ball State Clniver- sity in Muncie. The group was addressed by various speakers, and then had a can- dlelight walk to the City Court House. Each candle represented a person killed in a drunk driving ac cident, she stated. The seminar ended with a dance, showing that a good time can be had without drinking. Gregory ' s efforts have made an impact both in the school and throughout the state. 1 think it ' s a great idea to have the Task Force, she said. It ' s impor- tant to get the students ' input on how to reach their peers, and make them think twice about drink- ing and driv- ing. SOPHOMORES £m ' 1 m f £t I. . f-ij Some habits are just hard to break. Nail biting, pencil chewing, over-eating, teeth gritting, and hair twisting are just a few. No matter how bad these hab- its can grate on other peoples ' nerves, the person doing them doesn ' t realize how annoying it is. Said sophomore Mark Werling, I chew my pencil eraser like mad. It doesn ' t even taste good, but I can ' t help it. Some people have bad habits on purpose. I bite my nails all the time. I ' ve tried to let my nails grow before, but they just get in the way and break, com- mented Mrs. Hart-Hoover. However, some people have somewhat unusual habits that get them in trouble. I never ■ know when to stop talking. Teachers will tell me to be quiet, but 1 never listen, said sophomore Shelly Flowtow. No matter how annoying these habits can be, they make people human. Said Becky Felton, I think that someone who didn ' t have any flaws, if there was such a person, would get on my nerves more than a person who had some bad habits. One habit that doesn ' t occur to anyone that One of the greatest things at school is the get togethers.

A The people are great, and the extra money is really wonderful. Most of the other students seem to agree that the money is the best part of working, though they disagree on what to do with it once they get their checks. Susan Turner said she tries to save as much as she can for insurance on her car and for college. On the other hand, Jill Elliott says, 1 spend it on clothes, I don ' t have the discipline to save it, because I don ' t have anything to save it for. Others who save their money for a purpose are Shannon McKenzie, who is planning to buy her father a diamond ring for Christmas, and Debe Allen, who plans to go shopping at Union Station in Indianapolis. While at work, mishaps often occur. These things can be as innocent as mixing up an order on a busy day to having a slightly obscene slip of the tongue while the mind is a little distracted. Turner, who works at Hall ' s on Bluffton Road, recalls her most embarrassing moment, My sta- tion was full, and there were these people who had been waiting for their food. I was carrying this chicken dinner and my foot got stuck or some- thing and the next thing I knew the chicken wing had flown off the plate and slid across the floor and had stopped right by this lady ' s foot. When came back to my station after getting another piece of chicken, all the people laughed at me. Chris Elliott, who works with his sister Jill at Atz ' s South, said he ' s had so many embarrass- ing things happen to him at work that it ' s hard to pick out just one. Some of the things he mentioned were dropping a tray of water glasses during a rush, walking out of the back with a pair of funky sunglasses on, and ripping his pants while he was at work. The guys are great. The cooks are funny and make you feel good about being there, Working during the Christmas rush, Kim Bragalone ' puts in time at Debs in Southtown Mall. says McKenzie who works at the Empire Restaurants. Most other students agree that there are other advantages to work- ing than the money. Allen, who works at McDonald ' s on Goshen Road, said, The managers are nice. If you do something wrong, they don ' t yell at you, they ex- plain what you did wrong so you won ' t do it again. Also, they appreciate the work experience. Elliott said, It gives you work experience while you ' re young, so its not such a big challenge when you get older. Allen also likes the fact that she can work at more than one thing, saying When you apply for another job it is easier if you have experience at doing more than one thing. SOPHOMORES ni How do you pay attention and stay alert during a long, boring lecture? I know you ' re dying to fin d out tips on how to handle this situation and be suc- cessful. The best way to get away with slack- ing off is day dreaming. I like to day dream mostly about the weekend, said Tammy Kiessling. If you really want to be sly, rest your hand on your eyes like you ' re paying attention. Then, if the lecture really gets dull, pretend your taking notes and look up every once and awhile, explains Ma- ria Ognenoff. Although there are the special tech- niques, there are also the students that just spend their time taking notes. Ju- nior Trish Harrington secretly confesses, During long classes I like to doodle, but most of the time I write notes to my sweetheart. Another prime example is senior Ke- vin Jackson, he simply explains, I just write notes! Overheads make the class a little more fun. Mr. Hole tries to get the students more involved by using visual aids. The teachers seem to have a habit of putting students to sleep, but if you get caught that ' s another story. What do you do to stay awake? I shut one eye and then rest the other eye, that way I stay out of trouble, said Brian Hansen, yawning while explaining.

Freshmen worry about things like where their classes are, whether or not they will like their new teach- ers, what their classes are like, and most importantly, whether or not they will fit in with the new crowd. Making new friends can be a scary exper- ience. For others, it is no problem. When they come to high school from middle school, some people are fortunate enough to have their friends come with them. Says junior Jill Fitzharris, I had no problem meeting new people and making new friends. Coming from Miami Middle School, I already knew a lot of people. That was . just one less thing I had to worry about. Different people have differ- ent reasons why it wasn ' t so hard to meet new people. Junior Jenni Coleman states, I ' m basically a big mouth, and I can talk to anyone — so making friends was a piece of cake for me. Debe Allen, also a junior, says I was put In classes where the people were more sociable. So it was easy for me to meet new people and make friends.

There are a variety of reasons for this. Says Joe Bowman a junior, For me it was- hard at the beginning of my freshman year. I came from a class of 14 people. So seeing all these new people was scary for me at the start. By the middle of my freshman year, though, I was meeting people and get- ting to know them. By my sophomore year it was a breeze. For Staci Beck, a junior, coming to high school was a new and scary experience. I came from Portage Middle School and not many kids that I knew really well came here to Wayne. Those kids that I did know, I didn ' t have any classes with. So I had to start at the beginning. Now, though, 1 know quite a few people. I learned to meet people and to make new friends. Depending on the type of person you are, making new friends can be either easy or definitely overwhelming. The shy reserved type may only have one or two friends, but the more outgoing freshmen can become one of the most popular kids in the school . . . besides, they have three more years in which to make a name for themselves. £M i ..j I can remember back to my freshman year when I was one among the many underclassmen who fell hopelessly In love with an older man, and in the long run, ended up hurt and confused. He was a senior; a tall, brown eyed, blonde haired senior and his name was Tom. He was the love of my life — or so 1 thought. I had a massive crush on him and everytime 1 saw him, the deeper into infatuation I fell. It began as simple stares during lunch and then it became an obsession to find out every- thing I could possibly know about this per- son. 1 knew where he lived, what kind of car he drove, where he worked, when he worked, his classes, when the last time he wore my favorite blue sweater, and so on. By the sec- ond week I found out his locker number and started sticking secret admirer love notes in it. Every morning before school started I would walk by him in senior hall, sighing harder everyday. Of course, he would be reading my letters. Now, even if he didn ' t know 1 existed, he knew my letters did. This went on for about two more weeks until I gave him my locker number and begged him to write back. The next day a not- so-nice letter fell out of my locker and the man of my fantasies was shattered and my heart was crushed. It took me about one week to recover from Tom and move on to someone else, but I never forget him and to this very day his letter remains in my dresser drawer. For many freshman rejection from a ju- nior or senior, or even a sophomore, is quite commen. I liked this senior and one day I was talking to him when my friend said ' Do you like her? ' and he kept saying ' No she ' s a freshman. 1 don ' t date freshmen, orie anonymous person told me. Everyone doesn ' t get the man or women of their dreams, but why is it so much harder on freshman?

Is it because they (the junior or senior) are afraid it will hurt their reputation if they are caught dating a youn- ger person? Or how about the fact that some- one might call them a Craddle Robber? Rejection isn ' t easy to cope with simply because it hurts more than one part of your body. It hurts your soul and that hurts all over. After you ' ve been rejected, you have to learn to pick up the pieces and put them back together. It hurts your pride. 1 had my eye on this one girl for a long time. Then one day 1 saw her with another guy and that pretty well gave me a clear picture o f where I stood in her book, said one freshman while yet another sad story rolled into me. I saw him at the mall one day and followed him around. Then when I came to Wayne 1 found out that he went here also. All of his friends were trying to get us together and all of my friends were trying to persuade him, but it just didn ' t work out. For some it ' s not so easy to face and for others it ' s easier to cope with. But just when you think that your life is over and nothing is left worth living for . . . that cute girl in your English class winks at you and you know that life really does go on. il Mike Cox Mike Daniels Christine Daugherty Krista Dickerv-xi Tor.y Diehm Dan Driver Loodra Dufof Amanda Dunn Jennie Dun tor.

Why? Because these are just a few of the more popular teen idols. If you were to go into almost any Wayne student ' s room, there would undoubtably be some form of a poster on the wall. For me, posters seem to express my own per- sonality, said junior. Amy Grant, who fa- vors Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton. Teen idols are also a form of rebellion, hard rock music and gory concerts seem to be some of the favorite things in the world to a lot of the students. Teen idols are a big part of growing up, without them we would have a pretty boring life, said sophomore. Holly Doan. However, not everyone is interested m the big names in the business. I ' m really not into all the latest ' teen idols. 1 don ' t have time to watch T.V., so 1 guess I ' m not very up to date on who ' s who in Hollywood, ' said junior, Jenni Coleman. Teen idols will probably be around for- ever, whether they are a form of original ity, rebellion, or growing up. No matter what the reason the idols of today are a very big need to most young people today. But Tom Cruise is the best looking guy on the screen, said Su- san Turner.

Some go to the movies and the mall, while others go out to eat. The girls spend many hours deciding what outfit to wear, while the guys take several showers and pour on the cologne. Most freshmen rely on their parents for a ride, because they don ' t know how to drive, or they don ' t have a driver ' s license. A few lucky ones double date with someone who has a car. On the date the couple wonders about how the other thinks of them. 1 was so scared, that I could not even talk. said Scott Ryan. Kyle Roe remembers his first date. 1 was doubling with Steve Read, and we went out to eat at Pizza Hut. Then we went back to Joy ' s house and played cards all night. I guess it was pretty good for a first date. Trying to hold a decent conversation about school friends, often the couple finds it hard to relate to each other. I tried to talk about the things that would interest her, instead of putting her to sleep. comment- ed Rick Quinones. At the end of the date, several people remembered that they met the parents and watched TV for a while. For most fresh- men, the curfew is around 11:00 P.M. Peo- ple that don ' t make it home in time usually get grounded for a week or two. Amy Nagel remembers, 1 went midnight bowling, and was supposed to be home at midnight, but I didn ' t get there until one. Mom was so mad. Needless to say, they grounded me for a week. I guess it was alright for a first date. As the clock winds down to the end of the date, the two stand at the door and prepare for the goodnight kiss. Some find this final step harder than others, and so some choose to wait until the second or third date. Most all people have fond memories of their first date, but they remember the embar- rassing moments as well. The Life Skills Development Class is being taught by Miss Beth Schrader. The students have to be able to get along in the outside world. They have to be able to pay bills, hold down jobs, and buy things like clothes, groceries, and be able to communicate with other individuals, said Schrader. The program offers classes in applied academics and deal with such things as making change, paying bills, and setting up time schedules. They also have been lucky enough this year to work on the Apple lie computers in the library. The students also work on building vo- cabulary and other language experiences, such as answering and talking on the phone. Students need to be able to carry on a conversation, and answer the phone properly, said Schrader. The students also have a kitchen in which they filled C Hall with great smells. Some of their menu items ranged from Snickerdoodles to pep- peroni pizza. They have also done some great ice cream treats. The students seem to enjoy learning lei- sure life skills the best. We learn how to play checkers, card games, and other ac- tivities. So many students spend a lot of time watching television. This way the stu- dents are able to do other things, and join society in other leisure activities. One of the biggest activities for the group was taking part in the Special Olympics. We had 100% participation in bowling and track and field events, said Schrader. But, this year we are participating in roller skating. They are also going to participate in the swimming and gymnastics events this year. Working with a computer, Mike Eberle does his math assignment in Miss Schraders room.

Audience turnout for the play on Friday and Saturday nights were low, but the in-school performance filled the auditorium. In the first act, the tempo did not pick up until W.O. Gants drunk scene. Dave Follis, who played Gant, captured the audiences atten- tion by his staggering down the aisle. This led to exciement and enthusiasm throughout the entire scene. This excitement did not only entrance the audience, but it also amazed the crowd. The crowd scene was truly realistic to the way society reacts to the problem of alcoholism. Chris Such, who played the wife of Gant, Eliza, did and excellent job in this particular scene. She was trying to control her husbands rage, which could only be soothed by his daughter Helen, played by sopho- more Erin Holston. Such wisked the audience away with her portrayal of the southern wife. Such proved her veteran status to the Wayne stage many times during her outstanding performance. She set the empo for the whole cast. In the third act, the various actors and actressed had the audience clinging to the edges of their seats. Such and Follis tore the stage literally to shreds! This hectic scene was obviously adlibbed, but was effective in getting the point across that it was time for each member to move on, look toward the future, and forget the past. The scene simply exposed the rage and obsession over Dixie-Land, displayed by Such. In the final moments of the play, we saw the passionate scene of the starcrossed lovers played by Ann Stouder and Chad Borden, as they said their final goodbyes. As Eugene Gant, Borden finds out why his one and only love left. We saw Borden ' s ability to become and express his characters innermost thoughts and feelings. This lead Borden to his final and emotionally touching speech. I I m JL ' .-a — = Dancing their royalty dance, the newly crowned king and queen for the 1987 prom was Elaine Reust and Jim Read. ' ' Other than the singer be- ing a little off key, for the most part I en- joyed myself. ! — Julie Huber ' We ' ve Got Tonight and the memories On May 2, 1987, Wayne had their annual Junior-Senior prom. It was held at the Holiday Inn Northwest from 8:30 p.m.- 12:00 a.m. The theme of this year ' s prom was We ' ve Got Tonight, by Bob Segar. The room was decorated nicely, accented by the colors: maroon, pink and grey. The food served at the prom was nicely arranged around a beautiful ice carving of a swan. The variety of food managed to keep everybody satisfied and happy. The band entertaining at the prom was pleasant, but for some it was a disappointment. The music wasn ' t right to set the stmospher of a special night . . . prom. Other than the singer being a little off key, for the most part I injoyed myself, states junior Julie Huber. Coronation went smoothly as Elaine Reust was crowned Queen and Jim Read was crowned King. The remaining court consisted of sen- iors, Katie Harrington and escort Matt Schwartz; Maria Ognenoff and escort Jim Kruse; and juniors, Sandra Tsiguloff and escort Joe Clay- ton; Paula Ritchhart and escort Steve Read; Trisha Harrington and escort Brian Hansen. The coronation took place at 10:00 p.m. as scheduled, and for traditions ' s sake, the court began to dance to the theme song We ' ve Got Tonight. Prom is one of the most memorable events of the year. Most juniors and seniors look foard to prom throughout the year. Prior to prom, things become a little hectic for most students and their parents. Whether it ' s finding a dress or finding a date — there ' s always lots of things to do. Money seems to be no object to most people at prom. The girls spend a bundle on their dresses and the guys spend some bucks renting their tuxes. Maybe it ' s getting all dressed up for a night or maybe it ' s just that someone special you went with; but prom is a special memory you won ' t forget.

Awards night paid off for all the hard work through their twelve years. Julie Schmidt won the English awards, and Maria Ognenoff the journalism trophy. Ognenoff also won the Spanish trophy with Nanette Kinsey. Lyndy Guevara won the French and Shaun Imbody received the German trophy. Rodney Thiele was awarded the Industrial Technology trophy, and Jim Read won the Math trophy. Chris Such and Lori Steinman shared drama honors and Jill Werling took the social studies award. One of the events the seniors look forward to, is the Senior Skip Day. The picnic at Foster Park was a memorable one for those who attended, according to senior class president Elaine Reust. This year ' s Senior Class Act was canceled due to lack of interest. Every year ' s senior class has put off this production. As June came closer and closer, the seniors prepared themselves for commencement. This is what all the hard work was 11 about. The dreams about walking down the aisle to receive your diploma.

Seniors were combing their hair, straightening their ties, and the last few stragglers came running in. While everyone began lining up, anxiously awaiting their hard earned diplomas, the familiar tune of Pomp and Circumstance began for the 1987 graduating seniors. The honored guest speaker was Dr. William Anthis, Superintendent of the Fort Wayne Community Schools. Jill Homrig gave the tradition- al valedictorian address, while Maria Ognenoff gave the salutatorlan. The seniors added their own special touch to the ceremony this year by having a class song written by Mindy Watkins. Watkins wrote There ' s Nothing Like A Friend to reflect on the four years the seniors have spent at Wayne. Fifteen graduating seniors joined Wat- kins in the song. The choirs also entertained the parents, relatives, and friends of the graduates. The class of ' 87 has stood out from all others. The success this year has come from the many highly motivated seniors. The class of ' 87 has received more than $95,000 in scholarships. Included in this is three full-ride scholarships to Homrig, Tammy Correll, and Jim Read for their outstanding athletic abilities. Several students were also awarded academic scholarships. Ognenoff and Chris Colwell were awarded the first time offered FWCS scholarships. Finally, things started happening for our sports teams this year. Cinder the leadership of seniors Correll and Homrig the volleyball team went on to the Semi-State finals at Marion only to be beaten by State- Champions Muncie Burris. Carl Stoker and Jim Kruse led the boys cross-country team on to state, while Steve Mix and Scott Lahr led the wrestling team. This was a first time event for both teams. The seniors of ' 87 made several first-time happenings. Now they are ready to move on, and make other first time happenings in their own lives, said Elaine Reust.

Spare the whip pare the whip and spoil the child, a phrase still heard in a few classes, is slowly being ■ F replaced by the idea that fun interaction with students creates a better learning atmosphere. No one por- trays this idea b etter than English teacher, Mr. Peters. At the first annual MORP, Peters was one of the few people, stu- dents or teachers, who came clad in the dress down attire appropriate for such a dance. Every student who has ever been in his class has at one time or another been hypnotized by the methodic movements of his hands. Like a conductor in front of his orchestra, he turns English grammar into a overture all enjoy. I really enjoy Mr. peters, states Jenni Coleman, He treats us like real people. Another fun teacher is Mr. Fox, alias Steve Martin. He has been known to draw rabbit ears, and even read stories for kind of a little break in class. Math is made fun by his occa- sional joke or story. On the science front, there is Mr. Masterson. His classes could be called an experiment in laughter. Every phrase has A song in there somewhere, as he likes to say. His classes may be the only ones anywhere that start off with five min- utes of the worst jokes in the world, to put students in the mood for learning. Coach is great, affectionately states senior Jim Read. His class is really fun, but educational at the same time.

We all know what it feels like — life just isn ' t worth living anymore and ou can ' t believe it ' s finally over with the person you thought was ' perfect . You really see no reason to even get up in the morning- — total devastation. As Bill Schwartz said, It makes you feel like a ig piece of nothing. Some people avoid the whole thing totally by putting it off. 1 found out that my boyfrield was going to break up with me, so 1 decided to break up with him first. As it turned it out, we just sort of ignored the situation, said Maria Ognenoff. Others don ' t seem to have the problem of deciding when is the right time to break up. One student said, They always dumped me first. 1 never had that problem. Then there are the lucky ones. The couples that seem like they ' ve been going out for as long as you can remember. Or when they do break up, they ' ll get back together in a few days, after they ' ve kissed and made up. Tammy Kiessling said, It ' s a good feeling to know that somebody is always there and that you can call them anytime to talk. Longtime friendships often keep cou- ples in touch even after they ' ve broken up. After seeing the same girl for two years, 1 know I ' ve got a friend forever, no matter what happens, said Jim Kruse. Josh Forbing sums it all perfectly by saying, It ' s just great! 9 HERFF JONES Fred Henderson Yearbook Representative 133 E. Harrison Ave. Wabash, Indiana 46992 (216) 563-4369 4liit.

Yes, this is what you call the people who sit on the bench during a game. Nothing extravagant, nothing rare, but just plain and simple. At one time, all great athletes have known what it ' s like to sit the bench during a few games, but what about the people who know what it ' s like to sit the bench more than what it ' s like to play the game? Talking volleyball here, it ' s only obvious that the girls did a sensational job because they went all the way to semi-state. What about the girls who didn ' t get to play that much, were they a part of the winning team? Of course! They practiced just as much, and worked just as hard as everyone else. Why then don ' t they get to play as much as the other players? Joy Altenberg, a funny, talented senior didn ' t get to play a whole lot on the volleyball team, but did that discourage her? A little bit. I would get so frustrated sometimes. It ' s hard when you have to play the game from the bench. Every time someone would make a mistake, 1 would want to run out on the floor because 1 thought that I could do better. But then 1 would realize that actually, they could do better and that ' s why they were out there and 1 wasn ' t. Sometim es a bencher will resent the fact that a younger player starts before they do, however, Joy could handle that prob- lem. I could accept the fact that there were juniors who got to play instead of me, but 1 always felt that seniors were suppose to be the leaders . . . and how could 1 lead them if they were out there playing before 1 got to? 1 know that they worked just as hard as I did, and 1 knew at the time that they were better than me and that ' s why they got to play. Then there were the times when the coach would put me in to play because we had thirteen or fourteen points already and the win in our hands. That was kind of embarrassing but hey, 1 got to play. But hey, she got to play. That ' s when the light shines through and the talent begins to show . . . when a benchsitter gets to play. Without them, who would the other teammates practice against? Who would support them during the games and cheer them up after a loss? Who would celebrate the victories? The so called benchsltters are definitely the face behind the mask.

M WSaM oney, money and more money. Where do they q - all? Some people work to receive money others just Q .i a weekly allowance from their parents. The Main Attraction for most people is, spending their money on clothes, food and entertainment. Entertainment is the second most expensive thing for students. Melinda Maddox, a sophomore at Wayne, said 1 spend my money on magazines, records, movies, school dances and foot- ball games. Rey Morales spends his money on parties, women and movies. Southtown Mall is one of the places where students here at Wayne hang around and spend their money. Corey Shepherd says I go to Spiece with my friends and buy blue jeans after blue jeans. For others, they save their money to use wisely. Such as to buy lunch for the week or their weekly bus tickets. There are some students who are even wiser. They prefer to pack their lunches or walk to school to save money to buy clothes or other items desired. Others save it to go with a friend to McDonalds or Taco Bell on a weekend. 1 usually save my lunch money so 1 can purchase this sweater that 1 want from Hudson ' s, stated Sheila Jordan. Most students can ' t wait for Christmas or their birthday to come around so they can get money from their parents or relatives. Once they get the money in their hands, they fly out the door and find thousands of things to buy. Some even plan a month ahead on what they ' ll buy when their birthday comes. I count the days until my birthday. And when it is about two weeks away, 1 tell my relatives to give money instead of presents, said William Martin. Teachers spend their money some what differently that students. They spend their money on house and car pay- ments, their childrens ' education, bills and food. Mrs. An- gle Love, an algebra teacher said, My main expense is child care. Of course, teachers also spend their money on entertainment. Mrs. Rosie Blessing, a French teacher added, 1 would spend my money on traveling before I got a new car.

It ' s time to hit the beaches. Students had been planning the excursions since way before the first day of the year. Jill Homrig and Jill Werling went to Myrtle Beach. We made our reservations early in February. You ' ve got to beat the crowd, or you ' re not going to get a place to stay. Oth ers headed a little bit further south. I had a great time, catchin ' rays, catchin ' babes, and catchin ' waves! Kevin Jackson summed up his entire week of Spring Break, in Florida. Everyone goes to Florida during Spring Break, and they all go for the same reason, according to Bob Boger that is to party hard all week long, catch some rays and find some gorgeous women Ahhh! We had the family discussion on what I was supposed to do and not do while I was in Florida. Mom and Dad are just being parents. They want to make sure we ' re safe. As Scott Ryan said, Loung- ing out on the beach all day, partying all night! It was a great experience to be on our own without our parents aroung. Erin Holston echoed the same idea saying, I went to Florida with a bunch of Ball State people. They made it more fun, because they were experienced Florida travelers. They knew where all the latest hot spots were. Yeah-partying is abig thing over Spring Break, but probably just as big are the savagely dark tans that are the trademark of Florida. Some people who weren ' t fortunate enough to go to Florida or some sunny beach out on either coast, had to make the best of it here in Fort Wayne. This could be one of the worst alternatives to any teen in the Fort. There are people who actually have to stay here, due to playing a sport or a job. Caroline Paulison had this to say on staying in Fort Wayne, I don ' t really want to stay in Fort Wayne during Spring Break because in order to get a tan you have to pay forty dollars. Besides there ' s nothing to do. Staying at home, traveling, or whatever you do during Spring Break, it seems as if everyone is grateful for a few days off from school.
