A few things that were true the last time we were all in the same building.

2006 time capsule

Razr flip phones and T9 texting. Burned CDs for the drive to school. MySpace top 8 drama — Facebook didn't open to everyone until that fall. Cargo shorts, Livestrong bands, and gas that felt expensive at three dollars. Pep rallies in the big gym, and Friday nights on Finzel Road.

Got a better memory than these? Post it in the forum — best ones get added here.

Why we're the Generals

Anthony Wayne High School opened in 1951 when the Monclova, Waterville, and Whitehouse schools came together as one district. The name honors General "Mad" Anthony Wayne, who led American troops at the Battle of Fallen Timbers just up the Maumee River in 1794 — which is why the band marches in Revolutionary War-style uniforms and the school bleeds royal blue and white.

Then & now

We're collecting senior-year photos for a slideshow on the Friday tailgate and a gallery on this page. Dig through the shoebox, snap a picture of the yearbook page, and drop it in the forum or the Facebook group.
