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.

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.

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
