SMOKE SIGNALS STAFF Xgrfvm Q EDITORS - Sitting: D. Ackroyd, G. Connolly, J. Jatinen. Smnding: B. Hinkley, S. Holmgren, B. Cronk, C. Ryerson. Smoke Signals appeared on the Wayne scene six times during the past year. The paper kept us informed of all the news of the school from front page headlines to hu- morous gossip found Under the Tepee Flap. A great deal of behind-the-scenes work went into the making of the paper. Setting up a new column, The Injun of the Month, organizing newspaper campaigns, and taking care of makeup difficulties were some of the problems confronting the editors. After the solutions of these difficulties, the actual work began. Reporters wandered through the halls seeking leads, articles were typed, and editors kept busy proof-reading. The paper was rushed to press and before it was back for distribution the staff was busy working on the next issue. The student body may be grateful to the Smoke Signals staff for providing Wayne High with a continuous and current record of our school life during the year. Row I, arrow: D. Lauster, M. McClure, A.

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. Wilson, S. Holmgren, J. Breckenridge, B. Nothdurft, B. Powell, D. Murphy, H. Gross- beck, B. Joeckel, S. Bucher. Row 2: M. Van Dyke, N. Hartley, L. Ellis, D. Lauster, B. Cronk, J. Klein, H.

ADELE MUENSTER Captain TWIRLERS This year's twirling squad of twelve girls, led by their captain, Adele Muenstcr, marched and performed at every football game. They also participated in the annual Clifton Band Festival. The ambitious twirlers made their own uniforms and earned money for the white plumes which adorned their hats. A feature event was when Maggie Knieps, one of the senior twirlers, twirled batons blazing with fire at the annual Cheerleaders' Bonfire. The breeze whips the girls' skirts as they twirl in the half-time show. wx I! . X Kneeling: M. Schockner, B. Powell, J. Kreske, M. Knieps, D. Knapp, E. Hellerman, Standing: C. Armitage, C. Sebeck, G.
