While the Spark Serves The Spark was originated to guide visitors and students through our new school. From this it has grown into a major service organization. The blue and white emblem has become known as a trade mark for a courteous and informative presentation of Wayne High School. The Spark has repeatedly intro- duced Wayne as a school that welcomes and enjoys the presence of the people of the community and visitors from out of town. During the day Spark members may be found in many corners of the hall directing and clearing up the mass confusion of between-class travel. A great portion of the Spark's after-school activ- ity was carried out with the aid of a flashlightg the front grounds were landscaped with trees and shrubs and the guide lines were painted on the parking lot. A major project of the Spark was receiving and accommodating Hisham Qaddumi, a foreign student from Jordan. Displays were set up in the showcases depicting the dress and customs of Jordan. A com- plete schedule for the two week stay was formulated and carried out for him. An open-house reception was held in his honor at which time he was intro- duced to American music and dances. Many of the Spark's activities have transpired, unnoticed by the student body. Nevertheless, their work has continued to be a job well done for Vfayne High School. OFFICERS - James Schmidt V' p duff!

Honor oeiety Members Chosen for Merit OFFICERS 3 Sitting: Susan Rountree, Vice Presi- dentg Carolee Vogel, Secretary. Standing: Peter Van Der Sluys, President, james Klein, Treasurer. The Honor Society's main objectives are to pro- mote high academic standards throughout the student body and to uphold these standards. The Society's outstanding contributions were the annual scholar- ship which was awarded to the valedictorian of the senior class and a gift presented to an outstanding student in the Industrial Arts course. To raise money for the scholarship, the members sold Wayne bookcovers and pencils to their fellow students. An added project was the selling of the books, How To Prepare for College Board Exanzimz- tions, and the pocket editions of classical books. Monthly meetings were supplemented by guest speakers who gave informal talks on a variety of subjects from a tour of southern Europe to the con- ditions existing on the New York waterfront. One of the social gatherings of the Society was a winter skating party. In the spring the members made an excursion to New York to see a Broadway play. The social year ended with a banquet, given by the P. T. A., to honor the members. Newly selected members were inducted in May at the traditional and impressive candle lighting ceremony. Row I: S.
