1996 - 1997 Wayland Academy Yearbook

New Directions & Worn Paths Wayland Academy commenced its one hundred and forty-second year on August 26th, 1996. We're traveling in new directions, full of adventure and a promise of a bright future. While we undergo obstacles and challenges, we are steadily pedaling down worn paths; learning from our mistakes and growing from the challenge. Students and Faculty enter the new year with great enthusiam and school spirit.

Go Heidi!! Heidi Eisenreich struggles at orientation.

Senior-itis is a disease usually contracted at the end of a person's ]unior year of high school. Certain symptoms include; bullying the underclassmen, being unnecessarily rude to the freshmen, showing no respect for the underclassmen, and stressing the fact that you're older than the underclassmen at least once a day. Senior-itis doesn't seem to last long, however, only 12 months or so. A quick shock to the system of being a freshman in college normally cures all those who are suffering.

If you know someone who has caught Senior-itis, don't worry it's not life threatening or contagious, unless you're a junior!

Andrew MulderHere we see resolution in the first stage, but resolution of a special kind: he resolved to do it like jumping over a precipice or from a bell tower and his legs shook as he went to the crime. He forgot to shut the door behind him and murdered two people for a theory. He committed the murder and couldn't take the money, and what he did manage to snap up he hid underneath a stone. It wasn' t enough for him to suffer agony behind the door while they battered at the door and rang the bell , no, he had to go to the empty lodging half delirious to recall the bell ringing, he wanted to feel the cold shiver again ...

The Seniors this year set a new standard of excellence for the up and coming to follow.

Because their class was so few in the class, everyone knew everything about everyone else within days of just meeting. They rose the ranks of Wayland Academy and gained Knowledge and Character. The class murals seemed to always sum up the year. They went from having "No Clue" as Freshmen to "Boldly Going Where No Class Has Gone Before"when they were Sophmores to "Always Getting Into Sticky Situations" as Juniors.

Since it was all over, they had to say, "T-T-That's All Folks!"

Field Hockey-1996 The girls Field Hockey team had a very successful season. Not only did we score more goals this year, but we also held our opponents goals below previous years. While we were the smallest and least experienced team in the conference, we were a force to be dealt with. For the second consecutive year we won our way into the championship round of the conference tournament. The team was led by captains Kris Boucher, Katie Nemacheck and Jeanna "Bubba" Faust.- Diane Alpaugh

Football-1996 Wayland Academy football under new head coach Craig Hill struggled to put a victory on the scoreboard. However they achieved victory in the determination column. The wolverines improved almost every week and each game they went in expecting victory. Senior Jake Fakes was 1st team all "'~-Jo.<... conference selection at defensive back. Seniors Gabe Doyle and Ben Warren made second team all conference. Russ Oehmen was honorable mention all conference. The wolverines did not have a lot of experience, but they are building for next year-Craig Hill

The girls Varsity VoUeybalJ team had a solid season posting an 8-8 record. With a solid core of seniors who had been on the Varsity team for four years. The Wolverine team played some of the best matches ever. Highlights during the season included a win over Beaver Dam High School and close matches with Kettle Moraine Lutheran and Waupun Christian.

Suzie Lamping, Dena Lohse, Nicci Pearson , Jen Mathias , Becky Anderson, Pam Kunes, Heidi Eisenreich and Masayo Takei are

going to be extremely difficult to replace and we will miss their leadership on the court. However, they have left their mark and the Wolverine tradition is in good hands and will continue to prosper.

Wayland Boys Varsity Soccer Team played well this year, and was led by two senior players . Senior Captains Judson Greif and Andy Mulder were stellar in their leadership, and will be deeply missed. The team played into the second round of the State tournament this year, and played the second ranked team to a 1-0 loss. They forced them to score in the final minutes and the game could

have gone either way. The team lost several key players from last years state semi-final team.

Many young players filled those positions, and the future is bright for Wayland Soccer. Matt Spang, Jesse Raymond, and 2time all conference player Motoki Kawanago will return as captains for the 1997-98 season.

Other varsity players returning next year include Ben Bergum, Will Keating, Young Bin Park.

The JV boys' soccer team had a wide range of players in terms of skill and experience. One thing they held in common was an enjoyment of good soccer, and a desire to improve. The teamwork and understanding of the game grew m a very pleasing way, and several individuals (they know

who they are!) made remarkable personal strides in skill and in athletic maturity. Many of this years JV players can look forward confidently to their future in varsity soccer. -Coach, Greg Spanier

The Wayland Academy Golf Team went winless in its 1996 golf season. Wayland put together its fighting spirit every time it entered competition, yet inexperience and lack of depth were factors which the team began to overcome by the end of the season.

The highlight of the season took place at the conference meet on October 5th when Wayland managed to tie Sheboygan Lutheran for lOth place. Wayland's sole senior on the team was Jeremy Starz. Other major contributors to the team were Nader Khreish, Loren Darling, Joe Westra, Kristian Borrud, Bilal Khan, and Nate Retzlaff. - Coach Jim Borrud

I man Aswad rebounded well; Judson Greif and Andy 路Mulder were unbelievable. Jake Fakes and Gabe Doyle played a consistently strong season. A seven game winning streak really gave the Wayland Wolverines the impetus to continue playing well; senior captain, Jake Fakes and sophmore Morgan Manchester did , the damage by pouring in about twenty points a game. Our other captain, Gabe Doyle, was an all around player. Another gifted player, Jesse Raymond, ran points and penetrated easily.

' The Wayland Girls Basketball team prided itself on its defense this year. Although the Wolverines struggled at times offensively, their defense was always solid.

The team was very experienced, with five seniors playing a major role in our victories. Nicci Pearson and Masayo Takei led the team in scoring and Dena Lohse had an outstanding season in scoring and rebounding.

Anabel Manchester and Jennifer Mathias added exceptional rebounding skills to the team. In addition to the five seniors the underclassmen improved tremendously and were able to contribute in a major way to the already experienced team. Although the seniors will be missed, with the continued efforts of these younger players Wayland's future in girls' basketball is very bright. -Heather Wiseman

Their performance was rewarded with an invite to the Conference and State meets.

As coaches, we were very pleased with the progress of the team. There are a lot of good young skiers. This should allow us to be very competitive in the years ahead. Erik Cornielsen was the most valuable skier and Paul Varigos was the most improved. -Coach Dave Kasper

~Skiing

The 1997 Girl's Ski Team was led by captain Maren Baker. Overall the team did well and improved tremendously throughout the season. The biggest challenge was to be competitive against teams with much more experience.

The team developed individual skills and gained valuable racing experience. While the team did not qualify for state this year it did develop into a team which will be in contention for a position on the state list of qualifiers. Julia Daerrscheidt was the team's most valuable skier. Jessica MacDonald was the most improved skier. -Coach Diane Alpaugh

Dedicated to you: Thank You Mr. Cobb

1. Mr. Cobb in the sixties 2. Mr. Cobb in the seventies

Mr. Cobb in the '90s

Mt: Cobb in the '80s

George Cobb Dedicated for over thirty years 1963-Saga Food Director 1967-Director of Public Relations 1969-Director of Admissions 1974-Dean of Students 1996-Director of Counseling & Mentoring "When I first came to Wayland in 1964 I recalled how it was when I was a kid in school. I quickly became part of the campus and realized the types of things I was in need of as a student. One of those things was contact with adults ... my teachers and other faculty members. I still recall several of the faculty and the impressions they had on us .. .I guess I've used their methods and outlooks as part of my overall approach to what I try to do here. " -George Cobb

Mr. Cobb is one of the very few people in the world who wakes up every morning and sees the world with a positive outlook. "Which problem will occur today and how will I solve it...that's fun."

Everyday Mr. Cobb helps out students and faculty with problems ranging from boy/girl trouble to serious family issues. But no matter what the problem everyone leaves Cobb's office feeling better than when they came in. Cobb's entire philosophy can best be summed up in hi s own words "We must believe that we can make a difference, so we must keep at it."

Thank you Mr. Cobb, you are the best, and we appreciate all that you do here at Wayland Academy.

Four Year Seniors A large congratulations goes out to these fourteen people.

They've seen a lot of changes in faces and places. The only thing that remained true was themselves!

Three Year Seniors Almost as great a congratulations goes out to these people. They've seen just about as many changes as the four year seniors. It's ironic to see that there are fewer three year seniors than four year seniors.

Megan with her sister Haley.

The hurt and the grief will partially melt away; the memories will always stay of the special one whom we loved so dear-we know she is not in fear. She is happy floating in the sky, and.she has precious wings tofly. She watches over us day by day, and we know that she is notjust "gone" but in a place so far away, where all you do is laugh and play, the birds always sing and the bells always ring. She sleeps on a cloud sofluffy and white, and cuddles her pillow so very tight. ln our dreams she seems so near; even though she '.snot actually here, but in sweet Heaven, a place so grand, someday there we'll again hold her hand.

-Haley A. Creed
