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.
