Working with Layers in Maya 2008

My teacher set my up correctly, but it seems during the course of my work I have gone and messed up what he set up for me.

My question is, how I do work on one layer in wire frame mode with another being textured so I can use it for reference?

To be more specific, I've got two planes with reference diagrams on them on a separate layer as a Reference layer, but when I try to go into wireframe mode to work on the other layer, it converts the other layer into wirefram as well, how do I stop this?

Thanks to anyone who replies!

It would be extremely helpful for anyone trying to answer your question if you specified what 3D application you are working with.
