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.

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
