Editors' Note As editors we have attempted to reach beyond the academics of this year. and we have compiled some moments that you will want to hold on to as you. personally, go beyond Wayland's community . However. as each of us will eventually leave behind our high school days. our shadows of achievement will remain forever. Your memories of yesterday become your dreams of tomorrow.

The building that is so important in the academic community tokes its lost stand against time.

Art itself is a way of expressing one's se~ image. whether through voice. notes. or point. Each student leoves a creative impression on the community.

As students ore reaching out to find themselves, they show a port of their most Inner selves.

Students leave a reflection of their individuoUty, through their pride, attitude, and sportsmanship.

As they move on, REACHING for great heights, their energy, their spirit, lingers

NO TIME TO SPARE

Free time for students is limited t o one hour after dinner and again after evening study.

The Union becomes a place to socialize, as the library and the dorms empty out .

Throughout the year special activities are planned, especially on the weekends. Students look forward to getting off campus, going to a movie or out to eat.

Special weekends are planned throughout the year. Orientation is, of course, first , followed by Action Weekend, Parents' Week end, and many others. During Orientation new students must go through a series of imaginative exercises to help them get acquainted. Action Weekend is another weekend to get acquainted with new friends. Faculty members plan escapes from campus varying from the outdoor camping and rafting to the indoor movie going and mall browsing . Parents' Weekend coincides with Homecoming. The parents not only get to talk with teachers, but also get to see their son or daughter playing sports. These week ends, a sampling of the many Wayland has to offer. are preserved on the following pages, along with photos of everyday student life as students leave behind their mark

The first step along the Wayland path New students come to Wayland from many places. Some are scared. others petrified. As they were put through strange Orientation activities to start out this 1988 school year. many asked, "What kind of school is this?" However, it was through these activities that new students tested their ability to trust people they had never before met. They realized that climbing "The Wall" and passing someone around in a circle were good ways to make friends.

Kalya Rainbolt: " ~ was fun and a goad way to meet people, but reeeealy embarrassing!"

Alex Gillen: " Orientation made me quickly learn that I was not a fan of heights."

Becky llartell: " Orientation was a great way to get acquainted wijh Wayland and to meet many new

Jennifer DuBos.e: " The new kids thought of many new ways to do the events and, because they were all so imaginative, this made for a great Orientation ."

Tony Irwin: "At first I thought Orientation was going to be pretty embarrassing, but it wasn't really, because all the activities you did, everybody else did, too ."

Tanya Gulatl joins hands with fellow students as Nina Dlaz struggles through a hula hoop .

Sarah Carmichael: " I came to Wayland as a Junior transfer student from a small town and had never before lived away from home . I was very excited, but also very anxious. During the Orientation exercises. I was forced to depend on others for 'survival' and the transition from outsider to Wayland student was made easier."

Time set aside for ACTION Action Weekend is a time set aside each year for students and faculty to get away from campus. Students can choose from a variety of weekends-from "Photographer's Delight" to "Miniature Golf" to "Rafting the Wolf" . Almost everyone participated in this annual e vent . Through these experiences. the students developed trust in one another and made new friends. These were the important aspects of all Action Weekends.

Shawn Fogarty: "I did two things; I watched movies and watched more movies!"

Shannon Hering: "What made me hang off a cliff by a piece of dent al floss?"

Brad Karl: " It gave us all a chance to g et away and let loose."

Christina Jusklewlcz, Shannon Herlr19, Fletcher White, EHza Carey, and Dan Metz relax together after a hard day of rock dmbing.

As he hits a hole in one. Brian Haggerty raises his arms in amazement .

Tom Scheetz: " Action Weekend is a way of getting to know everybody . On the bus ride to camp. you begin to meet the new people and you have to make the best of it. The activities planned were fun even though there was rain ."

Bill Steber: " It was deadly. terrifying , and enjoyable all in one.

This was my Action Weekend rock climbing. and it was perfectly described by those three words."

Fletcher White wonders if he will ever reach the top of the rock .

Michele Neuser: "I was under the raft for at least ten seconds . My breathing became deeper and my arms started moving very rapidly. as my legs tried to kick . At last I burst out of the water to the sound of my partner's laughter ."

Dan Hales sighs with relief as he repels down the rock .

Ann Nelson and Jeff Wahlfeld take a break to pose for the camera.

Time set aside to make new friends From getting " grossed out" by the movie "Hell Raisers" to having adrenaline highs from rafting the Wolf River.

Action weekend proved to be a change from the usual school day.

I think many found it a time to really get to know new people and take time out to joke and laugh. Then there were those who "mellowed out" with friends and talked about times in the past .

Whatever it was, Action Weekend provided some unique experiences and memories that will linger.

Brian Haggerty: " A weekend to go to the Dells, relax. and have lots of fun playing jarts."

Stacey Westra: "It was an altogether groovy time! " Ron Larrleu: " My weekend was fantastic. It was wet and wild ."

Natalie Wetzel: "After watching movies all weekend, Stacy Tregenza and I became the Ebert and Siskel of Wayland."

Michelle Herrmann: "Action Weekend will go down as a legend that my grandchildren will hear."

Taml Posnanskl: "Rafting the Wolf was worth a second year.

Mother Nature provided both good and bad weather, but all the fun made the weekend just so groovy!"

John Stebbins: " Action Weekend was fun because you got to see people as they are in the real world. This is an invaluable experience."

Wayland's Redmen spirit lives on While waiting in anticipation for Fall Parents' Weekend/Homecoming, the students and faculty participated enthusiastically during the traditional Spirit Week . Fashion was pushed aside this week . allowing the students to participate in such activities as Clash Day, Jeans Day, Class Color Day, Twin Day and Red and While Day. With true school spirit in full swing. The Wayland community anxiously awaited the arrival of the parents. After being welcomed on campus by their son or daughter. parents were able to better acquaint themselves with faculty and Jearn of their child's academic progress through conferences.

The Pep Rally was a huge success as faculty, parents. and students all seemed impressed with the outcome. Faculty felt it was in good taste. while parents enjoyed cheering on their children. Saturday, parents were able to watch their c hild compete in athletic events. Festivities came to a close with the t raditional Homecoming Donee during which the Spirit Week King. Queen. and their court were honored. Overall, the 1987 Fall Parents' Weekend and Spirit Week generated positive feelings among faculty, students. and their parents.

EDUCATION AT WAYLAND Wayland faculty enjoy teaching students. as well as getting to know them as individuals in the dining room and dormitory situations. "They ore Miss Alpaugh p acks the most supportive up otter field and educated staff hockey.

I' ve ever worked with!" commented Mr. Wilhelm . As a new teacher at Wayland. Mr. Wilhelm seemed to be very pleased with his new colleagues. He admired the hardworking attitude of the faculty. noticing that everyone seemed to toke their job seriously. He remarked. "I om very impressed with the percentage of teachers who love to teach ." At Wayland there is a feeling of respect between teacher and student. A faculty member con be a teacher as well as a friend.

"Teachers make t heir classes interesting. My teachers hove a good attitude, which makes learning interesting for the student ." said Ja. vier Plzzaro. The small student-teacher ratio enhances the Wayland education. It is probably the biggest advantage of a private school. With smaller classes. students get to know their teachers on a more personal level. Teachers. then. get to know the specific needs of their students. and con more creatively and successfully teach t o meet the individual's needs.

Mr. Patterson is raring t o go for his class.

Mr. Khreish is having another good day.

Helping opportunities at Wayland Last fall. a Student Assistance Program was created for Wayland Academy . The basic philosophy of the assistance program is one of caring and concern for students. their friends. and their families.

Some members of Wayland faculty underwent a four -day training course last summer. in order to learn the skills necessary for counseling students. The CORE Team members maintain complete confidentiality, show care and concern, are good listeners. and will be available whenever needed.

Mr. VanHaren. a member of the CORE Team, commented, "The goal of this program is to show the students that they should not be uncomfortable talking with the faculty . The students can obtain help, when otherwise it would not be available."

Students were required to go through a seminar as well. This seminar, led by trained counselors, offered advice and help for the problems facing today's youth.

The (HOW) Helping Opportuhities at Wayland Program drew the already close-knit community of Wayland Academy closer together. Students can now look to Wayland faculty as a support system in times of need.

The faculty has many roles Ms. Brown takes time off her busy schedule to stop and think .

FROM MEMORIES TO DREAMS For more than 75 years Wayland Academy has been claiming Linfield Hall as its academic building . Opening in 1910 as an administrative and classroom building, it served these areas well until the SO's. The relocation of an expanding library and auditorium pushed the classrooms to the corners and the basement of the structure. This also forced the administration to relocate .

Since then, the auditorium has been removed to provide extra class space and accommodate a larger library. The now inadequate building houses approximately 17 classrooms, a language lab, offices and the library. A proposal to build a new structure has been made. Even though Linfield holds many memories, the dreams of the future will come to life in the new complex .

Linfield take?

Linfield

The memories of Linfield linger in anxious anticipation of the new academic complex Plans are already in the making for an entirely new structure to replace Linfield Hall. The project is to include a classroom for each teacher, office space, a computer lab, and a completely separate portion for the ever expanding library . This new edifice is to begin in the spring of 1988 and should be completed by the opening of the 1988- 1989 academic year.

This. then. is the last full year Linfield Hall. as we know it. will be standing.

Mr. Doug Palm made an interesting comment: "The interior of the present structure of Linfield does little to enhance the learning environment (with the exception of the two recently-renovated classrooms on the main floor) . Renovation does not eliminate the need to renovate again at some later date.

A new structure would be a viable commitment to the future. and more importantly, to the academic life of the Academy ."

Even though many memories have been created in Linfield as it now stands. the benefit of the new buildilng has been carefully dec ided as best for all.

The doors and windows are unique .

The charm of English The English classrooms have lots of character.

Linfield's charm is manifested in these stately rooms with interesting woodwork and fireplaces.

Students will always remember the homey atmosphere and the friendly, learned teachers.

Sara Anderson summarizes her feelings about English class nicely. ' 'I'm not a morning person but every time I walk into my first hour class.

In these stately classrooms the teachers colored the characters well. creating many memories for the students. The modern classrooms. providing a better environment, will soon be filled with future memories of their own.

Linfield

Math has progressed The rooms will be updated Are mathematicians lazy?

Math, like the building that houses Wayland's math classes, dates back a long time, with a little help from Mr. Schlicher.

Wayland has a strong progressive math program, including a variety of courses from Advanced Calculus to Computer Lit­ eracy. Students are required to take at least two years of math. Jason Brandt remarked: "I remember in my algebra class, when my teacher told me about math. He said, 'You have to realize mathematicians are ·1azy and created math to make their lives easier. Math is a great tool that is there for you to benefit from.'"

Students feel they learn a lot in their math classes. Dave Dries hit the nail on the head when he said, "Going into Mr. Kasper's room means being prepared. You better make sure your assignment is done, or else!" All of his students agreed that being prepared for Mr. Kasper's class was a must, but the benefits to be reaped were great.

Kelly Martin elaborated: "Geometry in Mr. Kasper's class is very hard, but he is always there if a student needs help."

After students leave Wayland, the math courses they have taken can only open the door to success for them.

Mr. Schlicher needs coffee ofter a tough class.

the history classrooms

History in Linfield The unique thing about having history classes in Linfield is the fact that Linfield itself is so historical.

"Some of the classrooms are small," stated Val· erie Moore, "but they definitely have character.

One of the nicest aspects of history classes at Wayland are the teachers. Mr. Baxter, Mr. Lilly, Ms. Alpaugh, Mr. Peterson and Mr. Cobb all teach with their own unique style." " History is one of the best subjects Wayland has to offer. The teachers are well informed and they explain things clearly," remarked Don Jo. hansson. He went on to say, " Linfield Is an old building, but for some reason I can study there easily.'' " History is really about the blood our ancestors spilled during the wars to keep our nation a free country. Every day current events that affect our lives become history," added Jason Brandt.

History ties the past to the present.

Wayland offers many kinds of history classes from World History to History of the Troubled Fifties. The new academic complex will provide more space to teach history courses. These courses are invaluable to students because they help students to some day be able to take part in shaping the history of our nation .

Mr. Baxter, that dapper dude, gives us his 'cool' look.

Reaching out to the world with foreign languages Reaching Beyond

The language lab is on the fourth floor of Linfield, often referred to as "sky blue heaven," probably because it's up so many flights of steps. The facilities have been remodeled but will soon be updated again in the new academic complex.

Languages are very important to learn . Michele Neuser explained why she decided to continue with a third year of her language: "I'm interested in communicating with other people from different parts of the world ."

Learning to speak and write like people in other countries enables students to better understand the world, which we share. Barb Smith explained that a foreign language, "helps you learn other cultures." It can also help you create friends around the world, and make travel a much more enriching experience.

Another side of the library Most pass it on the great climb up to their foreign language class. Still. it is always open when students find a need to use it . For some the word "library" is a taboo. For most there are times when its quiet atmosphere is greatly appreciated . Ed Hamb related his feelings about studying in the library . "The library can be a place for reflection. It makes you feel like you know so little, because there is so much to know ."

Many students find enjoyment in the homey atmosphere and the numerous other things the library has to offer.

Stacy Tregenza summed it up well: Karyn Fechner heads up to the li- "There is the College Corner. rooms in brary to study. and perhaps to so- which you can look over films. and Cialize just a little. places where you can work together with someone .··

a tribute to

Linfield

Linfield: a cherished memory Each spring flowers appear.

With enough sunlight, they grow. and cast interesting shadows.

Each shadow is unique to its fellow flower.

Students come to Wayland to acquire knowledge.

With guidance they grow into individuals, who leave behind their shadows of achievement each unique to its fellow student, there for others to learn from .

Linfield Hall has provided the space to acquire that knowledge for a long time.

Now it is time to expand and welcome the new building.

And so we conclude this tribute to Linfield Hall, a memory that will linger ...

Linda Yang and Tracy Keams smile as the light of knowledge shines behinc them.

ASSORTED ARTS

Today th e mysterious hands st a rted to ma ke a c la y cup .

The Fine Arts at Wayland include drama. visual arts. and music .

Students are able to choose that area of art which is most to their liking.

Klra Salak chose to be involved in all aspects of the arts . Drama was especially appealing to her. "Being in a play takes up a lot of your time. but when you get to sit on stage. in costume. in front of an audience. all of your hard work has great significance.··

Many students channeled their energies into art or photography. creating unique compositions . Brad Karl related his feelings about his Photography class: "After a semester of Ms. Walter's Photography course you 'll be a true photographer for the rest of your life . I walked into class thinking that photography was a hobby, I just had to push a little button and I has a photo. Now I realize how much more there is to it." · Some students expressed themselves through music and chose to sing or to play an instrument . The following pages show excerpts from a ll of the arts. Whichever path the students chose during the year. they reached out toward their creative goals.

Reaching beyond their imaginations to create

Photographers reach for the stars This year many students were interested in putting their Wayland memories into a more permanent form - on photos or in the yearbook. Creative courses such as Photography and Journalism allowed them to express their inner most feelings, push their inhibitions aside and work with new ideas. Reaching up for the highest star is symbolic of what the creative pho­ tographers and journalists did this year.

They strove to reach their full creative potential.

Literally, photographing the stars is diffi­ cult; stars are so far out of reach. Pursuing one's goals and dreams is difficult; be­ cause, in high school especially, these

goals seem so far out of reach. Somehow photographers this year managed not only to photograph the stars, but jump from the nearest star to that one which was farthest away; that one symbolizing individuality and creativity. The photog­ raphers bared their creative souls through their work. Sharing true feelings like these is always scary. Reaching beyond the stars was difficult, and whether the other students knew it or not, the photogra­ phers were capturing student life at Wayland, and preserving many memo­ ries, as the student body prepared for the next step of the journey in pursuit of their goals.

Students learn individually Music is a part of every student's life. For many, it means the weekly private music lessons. Students enjoy the individual instruction and scrutinizing criticism. " It's not that I like sitting in a concrete-block cubicle in a small, stuffy basement , slaving away at the keyboard trying to figure out if the next note is flat or sharp - but it's great to learn how to read music. Music is a large part of the world today , and a large part of history," explained Alex

Gillen. Many take advantage of the oneto-one instruction with Ms. Wilhelm and Mrs. Koehne. Private lessons provide the student with a greater chance to improve. " Private lessons have helped me to strengthen my weaknesses . Individual instruction takes discipline and organization on the part of the student, " Jamie Fakes commented .

Phenomenal play astounds 6l11bTY EJR NEJT 6l11bTY?

FATE: In the jury's hands

That was the question facing the audi­ ence at the Fall Wayland Players' Pro­ duction, "On the Night of January 16th."

The story was set in a courtroom in New York City. A prominent businessman had been pushed off his penthouse. His secre­ tary, Karen Andre, was on trial for his mur­ der.

Karen Andre was played by and Stevens, her defense lawyer, was played by Heather Tietz. The pros­ ecuting district attorney, Flint, was played by Andrew Stone. The unique element of this production was that the verdict was decided by the jury, which

was comprised of members of the audi­ ence who signed up for jury duty before the show. Twelve people were randomly chosen to judge the case. The cast re­ hearsed two endings to comply with the jury's decision.

"It was a tough character to portray. I could not act guilty or not guilty." a student tells of her performance, "My testimony had to be ambiguous enough to let the jurors decide for them­ selves.

Noah Desmond commented, "We worked hard and the practices seemed never-ending, but the finished product turned out well." The play was a success under the direction of Marilyn VanHaren, a new face at Wayland.

Emotion plays a large part in making this play work. As Rob Gibson glares at Heather Tietz: Kira Salak presides, but emotion gets the best of Jessica Dixon.

Andrew Stone delivers an outstanding performance.

FACES OF A STRANGER?

Mat Martin and Nina Diaz stop to chat between classes.

On campus we rarely see a face that we don't know. All around are people with whom we live, and share many moments.

Each class from Freshman to Senior, has unique characteristics to be re­ membered. Freshmen will never for­ get the feeling of wishing they wer, en't Freshmen. As Sophomores at­ tack the road for the first time, they wish they were upperclassmen. Ju­ niors dread the College Admission Testing Program and wish they were Seniors. Seniors, however, begin to realize they might miss Wayland a little, as they prepare to walk down the aisle at graduation.

Within each class are the faces of each student. Some of these faces are friends and others are acquaint onces. While it is certainly true that uniqueness is seen on the outside, faces simply reflect what is hidden inside.

Kelsey Wollln, Patricia Trillo, Barb Smith, Marlo Doll, and Heather Kush bask in the sun.

Lla Dorsey and Paul Swltalla give off a feeling of warmth and friendliness found in the Wayland community.

JUNIORS

More than Juniors Another year, another class of Seniors?

No, these are soon to be Seniors . This is what the Class of '89 is about . Here is how the juniors are special For starters they have hosted many activities to raise money for the class and the Junior Prom . Some of the fund raisers included a poster sale, a car wash, and dances. When Junior Dan Hales was asked about what makes the '89 class special he said, " We have a strong sense of unity and friendship .

We pull together to make things work." When asked what do you hope to get out of your Senior year, Dan briefed me: "To take what is given to me and make the best of it ." Good luck to all Juniors as they move on.

FRESHMEN

On being a Freshman Everyone must go through that torturous first year at high school. the Freshman year . Whether it means getting shoved in the girls' bathroom by a Senior. or falling prey to " Freshman jokes, " a Freshman has plenty of obstacles to overcome. " I feel little, " explained Freshman Colleen McDonald. " People think that they can push us around because they think we 're 'inexperienced little kids'. but that's not true."

The Freshmen find themselves bonding with each other. not only for support. but during the academic day . Sharing Health Class. they learn about themselves and others. Taking the required Health Class unites them in a common activity, as did the Pep Rall y this year. Their cheers were well heard along with those of the Seniors and other classes.

Although the differences between Wayland Freshmen and the rest of the student body are great . the Freshmen seem to have a sense of why they're treated as they are. "We're immature. we goof off." stated Kathie Toman. But Kathie also admitted that the classical treatment of Freshman is a tradition : " When I become a Senior. I'll do it . too ."

Becky Bartell Karl Berger MariaKatrina Bislew

" ted Michele Neuser, "You can be with anybody." Although interacl ong all students is common, there )parent differences which make

each class distinctive. Lisa Siemon observed, " The maturity difference between Freshmen and Seniors is obvious."

To most students this difference does not result in class discrimination, but some felt the Seniors isolated themselves from the other classes.

Todd Occomy and Scott DeVIne pla y it cool with their friends Ashley Paulsen and Susie Cohn.

The Seniors. however, managed to lead the school in individual class unity and did not regret being somewhat isolated from underclassmen. "Seniors have the most school spirit, " cheered Susan Nesbitt, "We stick together and set an example for the rest ." Nonetheless, at Wayland, meaningful relationships formed within and among all classes.

Cross-Country Strides in Improvement Personal improvement was the goal set and achieved by the 1987 Cross-Country Team. As the season progressed, ndividual times strengthened. "What made this team was 1ot the number of races we won, but the all around personal improvements that showed in our individual times," remarked runner Amy Culberg. The team, often charac terized by hard work and progress, spent the season learning, building, and basically forming a close-knit team.

Although few in numbers, this year's Cross-Country Team earned the respect of their opponents and spectators by displaying positive attitudes and keeping team spirit alive during losing moments. The discouraging season record is not an accurate reflection of the team's overall potential and ability. The individuals of the Cross-Country Team took lo ng strides and by no means failed to cross the finish line but somehow couldn't keep up with the pace set by other teams in the conference. While self-improvements kept the team's momentum going and spirit alive, as the run l ers pushed ahead, they were able to gain pleasure from

Sarah Carmichael: "Since the girls' team was small. we learned to run together and

the encouragement of others kept us ·going ."

Golf An Elitist Sport Although Golf isn't the most strenuous sport, it is one which requires great skill. In order to develop these skills, an excessive amount of self discipline and determination is required. A coach really can 't make you strive for that goal, it has to come from within . As this year's season advanced, a lot of this "inner strength" was found and used to make it "an overall success", as Andy Buchta told us. He went on t o say, " The late additions of two key golfers, Pete Williams and Jeff Bullock proved to be advantageous." Also the partic ipation of a Spanish exchange student helped to enliven the Junior Varsity Team.

The relaxed atmosphere of golfing i~ what makes it a lifetime sport. So without a lot of pressure these teams closed their season early to take in some added freetime .

Dave Dries: " At first the divots were going farther tha n the ball but we turned it around and the ball eventually went farther. Mr. Borrud . How are the pizzas?"

Patricia Trillo: " This year was m y first yea r on a g olf team. II was a great experience and a lot of fun .

Playing a s a team is much better than playing individually. And the courses were great!"

Soccer Kicking Around Soccer seems like a simple sport, but there is more to it than meets the eye . "Soccer makes you use all your senses and every part of your body," Mark Pfau told us. Winning is the desire of every player on the field and, with a solid background of skills, the team came together t o make things happen. After braving the snow and rain during practice , the players began to progress . As progress was seen , the inspiration to go out and win increased . With all the effort put forth, even if they lost, pride still showed in how the game was played .

Marty Piette: "Soccer wos o chollenging sport for me . It taugh t me a bout teamwork. cooperation. a nd competition . The tea m members and coa ching staff wer e very supportive throughout the se a son ."

Robert Brownell: ''I've notice d the pla yer who tries to score by himself is the wea kest hnk in the cha in and only whe n they leom up toge ther will the chain hold ."

Girls' Tennis A Year of Rebuilding The Girls' Tennis Team was rebuilding this year .

With only four returning letter winners, there were six vacant positions on the Varsity Team.

After much agony and effort, the team came out with a 3-6 record. Stacey Westra com mented, "Even though we didn't have a lot of raw talent, we worked hard to achieve our level of excellence. It was a difficult season ."

Jr. Ellis and Ms. Brown comprised the coaching staff for approximately thirty girls. Inclement weather caused a few meets to be cancelled or postponed. The highlight of the season came at the close when the intersquad tournament was held. Players were finally given the opportunity to defeat their male managers. A fun time was had by all in conclusion to a difficult season .

Cheryl Hollenbeck: "I lea rned to work with my

stre ngths and weaknesses We we re rebuilding. a nd we used lhe l eamwork and the eHort "

Volleyball Volleyball Rebuilds Volleyball this year was both exciting and interesting. The coaches. Ms. Fanestil and Ms. Wekerle. helped the teams develop new skills and rebuild old ones. With many new personalities. the team had a variety of talent but needed to put it all together.

Both teams finished with some of their best records in recent years. Senior captains heading this years' Varsity Team were Beth Nielsen and Tami Posnanski. Junior Sara Anderson was named to the All-Conference Team. Although the JV team had a number of new faces. they all were able to pull together in an excellent team effort to rally for a few victories. Their attitude was a credit to the Academy. Overall, volleyball was a success for the teams, the players. and the coaches .

Karyn Fechner: "Even though I wos a Sophomore on the VarSity Team they treated me like I was one of

the Seniors ."

Sue Brown: "Volle yball was fun. Our coach was great and b y the end o f the season we learned a lot from her."

Girls/ Basketball Fun on the Court The first practice of the 1987- 1988 Girls' Basketball Team was indicative. After a quick welcome the girls were sent to work. The hands on the clock seemed to crawl as the girls worked drill after drill, lap after lap with each individual pushing her limit. Already the undying spirit and comraderie was noticeable .

This was about the most important point as only a handful of girls were present at that time .

When Coach Schantz rounded up the girls for a team meeting, it was obvious they had made a positive impression on him. He spoke to them about perseverence and prepped them for the season. He felt that although their small number seemed to be an obstacle, if they continued to perservere, success was in their future. Each girl left practice touched by his Positive Mental Attitude .

Heather Tietz perhaps summed up the basketball season best saying, " The season was an overall learning experience." Continuously the team went up against the odds and often, with much determination, were able to overcome them. As the weeks progressed , their skills were sharpened and they were able to relax a bit more to enjoy the game. Michele Neuser admitted that she enjoyed the season as it was not only competitive but also fun.

Sara Anderson: "We're having a good time on the court while we work hard, so we 're winning a few more

games."

Susan Nesbitt: "We not only have improve d bur individual

Pom Pon Squad Cheerleading Promoting School Spirit Wayland school spirit reached new heights as the Cheerleaders and the Pom Pon girls performed at the basketball games this winter.

Michelle Morse: "Although tt was hard at times. the closeness and the fun made it all worthwhile."

The addition of several new faces on the cheerleading squads brought new and different ideas to both squads. The result was a unique style of cheering, a definite plus to Wayland's athletic program. Melissa Leyva commented, "I like being on the squad. I think it is a lot of fun, and I like the idea of promoting school .spirit.''

The Pom Pon squad dazzled the fans with choreographed dance routines to upbeat music. Despite the fact that the Pom Pon Squad was a new sport this winter, all the girls worked together to make it a memorable season.

Tiffany Lennette: "I think this year's squad has given a lot to Wayland Cheerleoding. It tokes cooperation. skill, and rhythm to make it work.

Ice Hockey Thrills and Chills The 1987-88 Ice Hockey Squad knew the season would be a difficult one. Graduated Seniors left vacancies at every area of play more than new and returning players could adequately fill. First year Coach Kris Boucher and Assistant Coach Savage Frieze knew a lot of "reloading" would be needed. This was a heavily-instructional season, both in practices and games. A lot of credit must go to Senior Captain David Phillips who kept a positive attitude throughout this difficult season.

Coach Frieze, once again, took care of a myriad of behind-the-scenes work, such as stick care, skate sharpening, and bench work. He also spent much time with sophomore goal tender, Jim Wells. All in all this was a season not measured in victories, but in improvements of individual and team play .

Percl Pelrolungo: " It was a rough season but by the end. the scores got to be something we could be proud of."

Jeff Post: "This is my first year playing Hockey. and a lthough we ha ven't won many games. it has been fun."

Skiing Skiiers Learn and Improve The thrill and challenge of enduring the fine line between control and destruction or loss and victory is determined by one tenth of a sec ond on the ski hill. The competition faced is not only with other teams but also with yourself and your teammates. Being satisfied with your efforts and accomplishments makes up a lot of the team spirit . " Pre-season training is tough, but it is worthwhile when you have a chance to race," said Mat Martin.

When the Ski Team first met in November, they were prepared for the season by aerobics and running . Later, on the hilL all of this practice paid off. Tami Posnanski admitted, "Once you're on the slopes it's more a sport of the mind than the body .''

Tracy Kearns: "Skiing is a great way to meet new people you probably would hove never talked to otherwise ."

Kelly Martin: "It's such a

great feeling . skiing through the gates and striving for the team's victory."

Swimming Best Year in Last Four The Wayland Swim Team had their best sea son in over four years. This improvement was due to the increased numbers on the team.

The addition of people made it possible to swim exhibition heats this year. The team welcomed a few top swimmers to the squad which heightened the overall spirit.

This spirit kept the team going even in its darkest hour. "Though we had our victories," John Stebbins commented, "swimming was a challenge because of the individual competition. Yet we always held together as a team."

Although no records were set, the swimmers met with some stiff competitors and more often than expected, they pulled out on top.

The team has a lot to be proud of. With the increase in participation they came together to build spirit, ability, and sportsmanship.

Jamie Dellkowskl: "Swimming has been one of lhe most d ifficult yet rewarding sports I've ever been in. On the team I learned that faith. hope. and hard work can get you far ...

Erik Brandt: "Swimming IS probably the best sport I'll ever do_ I've found it to be the hardest I' ve ever done , but a lso the most rewarding ."

Wrestling Wrestlers Pin Down Another Year Wrestling is an individual sport as well as a team sport. Each player wrestles for his own record as well as for the team's victory. Kevan Neyestani remarked, "You not only work for the team you work for yourself."

The team this year was a young team because of the loss of Seniors last year. However, they made a lot of progress during the year.

Greg Post said, "The most important thing is to try as hard as I can and better myself." He went on to say, ''As long as the team improves every time, it doesn't matter if we win ." Greg is looking forward to his best year, next year.

The team agreed that, under the coaching staff of Mr. J. Schlicher and Mr. Sharpe, wrestling had the hardest two hour practice.

Jason Mangone: "Wrestling has taught me about one

Yearbook A staff member relates In September. after attending Ms. Walter's class for the first time. Irealized I was just an outsider to the world of journalism . Until this day. I was utterly oblivious to the production of a successful. creative yearbook . Instead. I unfortunately looked upon the annual as a mere picture book which took about fifteen minutes to flip through. Ms. Walter quickly banished this thought from my head .

From day one. assignments were distributed and soon the whirlwind in the Journalism room was under way. The first few weeks were filled as our class quickly learned terminology and skills previously unknown to us . As the weeks progressed, our first deadline fell upon us. It was during this period of time when I learned the true meanings of pres-

sure and responsibility . Each individual in the class played a vital role in the production so it was essential that these people follow their due dates exactly . There was no such thing as " blowing off" an assignment . If by chance this did happen not only did the grade lower a whole level but the staff was let down. not to mention the rest of the school. Each member of the class put forth extra effort and gave much of their free time to insure the punctuality of their own pages .

The unifying factor in our yearbook staff was our ability to work together as a whole . It was because of this that this year's 198 7-1988 staff was able to produce a successful and creative yearbook . while taking with them skills they will use in their future .

As students shed their winter shells, they could let their hair down and relax . The tension of winter was gone and the biggest concern for seniors was staying off the D and F list ." Lla Dorsey added. "The urge to play frisbee or hacky-sack pulled students outside." The energy they had was catalyzed by a longing for summertime laziness.

Seniors used spring to take full advantage of the last moments they would share with fellow seniors and underclassmen . Jessica Dlx· on expressed her feelings by saying "It's the time when we (as Seniors) are waiting to be sprung ." As in any high school the Senior Spirit of spring bubbles over, Leanne Nagle exclaimed " I love it! It's Fun! I'm outa here ."

FINE ARTS WEEKEND One-acts leave memories

What do a lunatic and a bum have to do with the Winter Fine Arts Festival?

They were both characters from the one-act plays performed this year. The first play entitled "On the Edge of Eter­ nity'' was written and directed by ju­ nior, Kira Salak. Starring in it were three characters played by Libby NI• ehols, Jeb Scherb, and Noah Des­ mond. These characters found them­ selves mysteriously trapped in a 'place' void of anything of interest.

They tried to find out where they were confined, until one of the characters, 'Thomas' (played by Jeb Scherb) thought he had finally gotten an an­ swer. Noah Desmond, who played 'Roland', had the difficult task of por traying an insane man, finding it both hard and enjoyable at the same time: "Taking on the role of an insane entity was a challenge I was happy to at­ tempt."

The second of the one-acts, "An Un­ usual Occurrence at 155 North Thomp­ son Street", was written by freshman Erie Brandt, who was the co-director along with senior Rob Gibson. Starring in it were Erie Brandt, Valerle Moore, John Hagist, and Bill Steber. The five characters all found themselves waiting for a bus, but none of them actually knew what a bus was. The comedy centered around the unique characters: a bum, a 'valley girl', a cleaning lady, a man from Aus­tralia, and a policeman. Valerie Moore summed up the feeling: "It was a nice experience being in my first play."

The one-acts went very well and both directors were pleased. Kira Salak, in fact, wouldn't mind doing it again: "It was wonderful being a director. You get to mold people into characters, and in the process you get to know some really unique people.

And so the actors took their bows, and the curtains closed. The empty stage lay ready, anxiously anticipating the sounds of rustling costumes and pass­ ing feet to return once again. along with the creation of many new memo­ ries.

I he one-act tradition gives a variety of creative ideas the chance to ripen and blossom, sending forth an imagi­ native and exciting new scent. we need only to look to the future.

The Winter Fine Arts Festival was a unique opportunity to show off our Fine Arts department. ''I'd say the weekend was a success," com­ mented Mr. Scott. The weekend displayed many aspects of the Fine Arts. It began Friday, February 19, 1988 in the Frame Lounge with the photography of Ms. Walter's students. In the foyer of Lindsay Gym, Ms. Esterholm's art students also displayed their creations. Stu­ dents were able to look at these exhibits of art and photography throughout the weekend, learning how others interpret the world in their own special ways. Both pho­ tography and artwork are ways to express individual uniqueness.

FINE ARTS Winter Fine Arts Festival, February 19-2 1, gave students the chance to express themselves in all aspects of the arts, both performing and visual. The weekend also allowed students to view and appreciate the efforts of their peers through poetry readings. plays, musical recitals, art and photography displays.

As students performed in the many activities, they passed their own interpretations of the arts to the Wayland community . As the performers reached their own new level of musical, artistic, photographic, or appreciative understanding of the Fine arts, the shadows of their achievements were left behind for all of Wayland to cherish.

New faces-old memories Students who entered Wayland at semester found it difficult to fit in at first . With groups of friends formed and class schedules known by all old students, the handful of fresh faces looked puzzled and confused . With a little help from those around , it did not take long for these people to get into the swing of things, however . Before long they too, were seen with smiling faces .

When spring came they seemed to find themselves in those groups that had seemed so distant just a few months ago . And upon leaving they discovered that the goodbyes they said weren't any easier than those of the students who had been at Wayland longer.

Scott Kolpin and Shayna Counsell share a special moment .

The masquerade Junior Prom was a huge success. The number of people that helped was tremendous. They could not have been successful however, without Mi· chele Nueser's guiding hand to plan, prepare, and make it all work .

The best part was being able to stay out late . However, Kate Bartlzal thought, " Prom was great: the best was watching Mr. Cobb dance . I'm sure Mr. C laughed when he saw Tripp and me dancing, too."

Tuxedos and dresses were dazzling as they danced about the floor. The band, Rockin Bones, played a mixture of music to suit everyone's taste . After the formal Prom was over Post-Prom kicked in for more hours of entertainment. The tickets were sold separately so others could participate in the PostProm activities.

Rani Hoover summed the night up nicely saying, " This was my Junior Prom and everything turned out beautifully."

Jenny Rohr and Cinque Davis enjoy prom as much as Carrie Norcross and Melissa Leyva. Tiffany Lennett and Paul Irvine take charge of the dance floor .

Wayland Baseball has been both a time of hard practices, and a time of many rewards . Some of the players found themselves doing more running and endurance exercises than they ever had before, initiated by Coach Peterson . But the rigorous practices led to a successful season and much enjoyment for all. Tim Fischer related what Wayland Baseball meant to him: "I enjoyed playing Varsity Baseball this spring because the team worked really hard together and we had a lot of fun ."

Wayland Baseball not only left many memories for all participants, but it also taught the players how to cooperate with each other as well as with the coaches. In this respect, it is easy t o see why Marty Piette called it "a very intriguing sport ."

Girls' Soccer

A Second Season of Action

Girls' Soccer definitely made a name for themselves, and they are only two years in the running. "You ain't seen nothin yet!" screamed Sara Anderson. The team finished under .500 but they gave it their all. One reason for the losses was the com­ petition against the Madison/Mil­ waukee area teams. The attitude, h ow e v e r, re m a i n e d p o sitiv e throughout the season as was evi­ dent through the cheers before the games, "Hidie, hidie, hidie ho!" John Veling stated, "The girls had the abil­ ity to set goals, work to accomplish them, and finally achieve them after months of hard work.''

Hadley O'Regan: "We had a slow be­ ginning but when we learned the qualities of teamwork we really began to look, work, and feel like a team."

Doreen Bubonovlch: "Soccer was a true experiencei I feel it has touched me. I'll re­ member it foreverl"

Cinque Davis: " The track team is the ultimate in sports . There 's something in it for everyone ."

The Girls' and Boys' Track Team began its year with a group of dedicated athletes seeking to attain personal goals . Although the team struggled as a whole , it was able to send many members to the state meet . The boys lacked experience and spent their season as a learning and rebuilding period . The girls also used their time to practice and develop the fundamentals needed by track and field athletes . Although the team was unable to post a large majority of wins, the individual efforts and team unity helped the team to reach their goals successfully .

So many late nights

· and " Maria", played by Steve Brown and Beth Nielsen, share an intimate moment on stage.

The spring musical, " West Side Story" was masterminded by directors Mrs. Wilhelm and Mrs. VanHaren . This play was particularly difficult because of the voice ranges that the songs required , but perseveronce paid off in one of the best spring musicals ever produced at Wayland! After months of practice and training, the final result was a treat to hear and see . Fred Elst explained, '"West Side Story' opened my eyes to the arts of the stage ."

Students and faculty worked together to produce the Broadway hit, however, both on and off the stage it was a variety of students that made the production possible .
