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.

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
