Mom & Dad: Thanks for giving me the wonderful opportunity to leave home. I know I let you down many times and yet you still believe in me when nobody else did. You gave me great advice and without it I don't know what I would have done. You have done things for me, that no other parent would have done. Words cannot describe how greatful I am for you. I love you!! Ms. Alpaugh: This year would have been hell without you. Thanks for giving up your weekends to spend countless hours with me in the library.

Darren: These last 3 years have been fun, maybe even too fun as you could tell by our grades.

Good luck in college and just murder people in track!! Room 203 Forever! Shawn: We might not be the best golfers, but we have the most fun. Without you I would not have got the 52 degree wedge.

You need to do one thing, find a sport that you can beat me in cause I WIN!! The things you have said are priceless and I will never forget them. Go St. Louis Blues! Sean: What up cracker!

Mom-Do you know that you are the one you've been waiting for?- Ever wonder, Kobi Yamada. You've been my best friend and my inspiration. Through all of the battles you've been loyal and never betrayed me and this taught me a valuable lesson about trust. I will always cherish getting up in the early summer mourn to chat over a freshly brewed cup of coffee. Never forget how wonderful you are, or neglect to give yourself a much deserved pat on the back. I am lucky to have such a foundation on which to stand. I love that you appreciate my sense of humor, without that I might have forever been a sour-faced child. Thanks for provoking me to gut-wrenching laughter! Sam- If you think life is hard what are you comparing it to?- Ever Wonder, Kobi Yamada. To my favorite sister-regardless of all our childhood bickering, we have persevered to form a deep friendship. Our barbie-playing, "nailing," dress-up, and car rides to Dads have left me with memories that induce many smiles. Aunt Lynn & Uncle John-You guys are the best and funniest godparents a kid could have. Nana-Growing up would've never been the same without sitting in front of cable TV, or eating only the best-tasting food . You helped me to appreciate my heritage and passed on much more to me than your first name. I will always remember you with fondness. Dad- Do you treat love as a noun or a verb? If not now, when?- Ever Wonder, Kobi Yamada. Carrie-How do you find happiness? Can you really live lifewithoutlovinglife and can ya love life without living life?- Ever Wonder, Kobi Yamada. Mr. Seighman- You are an incredible and generous human being. Thanks for helping to usher me through three sometimes painful years of High School. You've SUPPORTED me in my triumphs as well as listened to me cry and complain (which are not rare occurrences) I love you. Lova(Jenny D)- Yes, yes, quoth I, a woman can keep a counsel well enough. For though she tell a gossip, she telleth it but in counsel (i.e. in confidence) Yet, no her gossip to her gossip neither, and so when all the gossips in the town knew it, it is but counsel still.- English Works. When my tears reign my face uncontrollably you are always there to make me smile, and when I bid you go, you go, but only after leaving me with the knowledge that you are there, you listen, you care. I love you. Elise- What would you think about if you were not taught what to think about? How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?- Ever Wonder, Kobi Yamada. Jenny J-How would you introduce yourself to God?- Ever Wonder, Kobi Yamda. Jenny J & Elise-" And of course now no one can tell us that there is no God. We've passed through all forms ... Everything is fine, God exists, we know time ... And not only that but we both understand that I couldn't;! have time to explain why I know and you know God exists ... Troubles, you see, is the generalization word for what God exists in ... God exists without qualms." Jack Kerauc, On the Road. Jake- Do you have enough risks in your life to stay alive?- Ever Wonder, Kobi Yamada. Chris- Are you the type of person with whom you would like to spend the rest of your life with?- Ever Wonder, Kobi Yamda. Kathleen-If I get old, I will not give in/ But if I do, remind me of this./ Remind me that, once I was free,/ Once I was cool, once I was me. -Radiohead. Lydia- Every man dies. Not every man truly lives. -Brave heart. Laura- What good has worrying ever done? Will you ever really know how brave you truly are?- Ever Wonder, Kobi Yamada. "My aunt once said the world would never find peace until men fell at their women's feet and asked for forgiveness ." Jack Kerauc. Jackie- "If he gets up, we'll all get up, it will be anarchy!" -Breakfast Club. " ...We all must admit that everything is fine and there's no need in the world to worry, and in fact we should realize what it would mean to us to UNDERSTAND that we're not REALLY worried about ANYTHING." Ashley- Why be afraid of something you want?- Ever Wonder, Kobi Yamada. To all my friends:" ... because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes" Aww!"" -Jack Kerauc. After all, my erstwhile dear,/ my no longer cherished,/need we say it was not love,/Just because it perished? Edna St. Vincent Millay. Never give in- never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty/ never give on except to convictions of/ honor and good sense. Never yield to/ force; never yield to the apparently/ overwhelming might of the enemy. -Winston Churchill. "What is he aching to do? What are we all/aching to do? What do we want?" -Kerauc, On the Road. "What's your road man?--holy boy road, madman road, guppy road, any road. It's on anywhere road for anybody, anyhow." Kerauc, On the Road. "What difference does it make after all? -anonynuity in the world of men is better than fame in heaven, for what's heaven? What's earth? All in the mind." Kerauc, On the Road . " ... and don't you know that God is Pooh Bear?" -Kerauc, On the Road. And in the naked light I saw/ Ten thousand people, maybe more./ People talking without speaking/People hearing without listening,/ People writing songs that voices never share/ And no one deared/ Disturb the sound of silence. -Simon and Garfunkel. Look at the earth from outer space/Everyone must find a place/ Give me time and give me space/ Give me real don't give me fake/ Give me strength, reserve control/ Give me time, give us a kiss/ Tell me your own politik/ And open up your eyes/ Open up your eyes/ Open up your eyes/ Just open up your eyes. -Coldplay. I wanna fly, never come down,/ And have friends around. -Coldplay.

I hope you had the time of your life." - Green Day - "Good Riddance" "Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there with open arms and open eyes." - Incubus - "Drive" "We were both eighteen and it felt so right.

Watch it count down to the end of the day, the clock ticks life away." - Linkin Park - "In the End" To My Parents: Thank you for everything! You have allowed me to attend Wayland and have supported me through the good times and the bad. You have at times helped me to grow into an individual and other times let me grow on my own. Thank you for working so hard to give us (Kortnee, Kii, and myself) a life full of freedoms and a household in which we are loved. I hope that you both will continue to be a strong source of guidance in my life. Again, all I can say is thank you, and I love you both! Kortnee & Kii: Thank you both for your support, and know that if you ever need anything, I will always be there for you, both as a big brother and as a friend. Mr. Kasper: Thanks for being a great listener and a great mentor. Your guidance has gotten me very far, and now I have to try and use what I've learned in the real world. StefA.: So many memories that I don't even know what to say. Thanks for keeping me sane during those long months of studying. It feels so great to know I have a friend whose there for me in the tough times and the goofy times. Nick H.: How long have I known you now? It seems like forever. I remember so well the days back in elementary school, for example when you, me, and Kelly all got glasses within a week. Or how about my Dad's nick-name for you - Nick-a-lodeon? You'll always be a true friend to me, and if you ever need someone to talk to or just hang out with, you know I'll always be there. Dana: I really don't know what to say to you. I think you know how important you are to me and I hope that we stay friends forever. My Friends: Everyone of you (you know who you are) are so important to me. You allowed me to stay in a good mood and have a wonderful time in high school. Each one of you are unique and have brought me so many memories. From late night Halo parties, to attempted and successful road trips, to inside jokes, to ski camps, to trips to concerts, to just chillin' at people's houses. Thank you for all the memories and I hope that each and everyone of us can stay in touch .
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
Thanks for the all people who encouraged and supported my high school life. Especially Koreans and my parents.
Good Bye Wayland!! Whan-Wook and Yoko: We are FREE!! I wish you the best luck in college. Joong-Hyo and Jin-Woo: I trust you two to be good leaders among Koreans next year.

To my Family: "Now I happen to like dandelions a lot. They cover my yard each spring with fine yellow flowers , with no help from me at all. They mind their business and I mind mine. The young leaves make a spicy salad. The flowers add fine flavor and color to a classic white wine .. .

What can I say, these four years flew by, and I can honestly say that they have been the most fun four years of my life, thanks to many people. To all the people I don't mention in this it's either because I forgot you, or because I dislike you, take your pick which category you fit into. Mom-Thank you, I wouldn't be where I am without you, you've always been there for me, you gave me my love of animals, and the respect for all life in general, I guess I really am a mama's boy. Dad- you've tried your hardest to get me everything I want and need, thanks, I know you've always been there. Will- you aren't that bad, well most of the time. Beth & Kim- you tow have been there when I needed you, I wish we would have lived together longer so I could know you better, but still, I love you guys anyway. Ali- You've made my life great since you've been with me, thank you for everything, you know I could love you more every day. Jake- Stick with it, you're a good kid, a bit nosy, but overall a good kid, thanks for letting me come out and chase the critters, so Jake, do you like horses? Also remember the oompa loompas, they have crackers with your name on them. Karen- for four years you had to deal with me doing stupid things, and you never really got too pissed, and of course, I told you so! DODGEBALL, SEIZURE. Kolin- You also have put up with a lot from me, I'm sorry we all were pricks to you at one time or another, you took it as well as can be expected, and also thanks for always lettting me come over and be a parasite at your hosue, you always had so much good food, thanks. Sam- your stories were always great fun, I've learned that me and you together could be very dangerous to my health, good luck in life, not that you'll need it. Tara- I still think you didn't talk to me for the first year because you deep down hated me, but oh well, we remedied that these past few years, thanks for letting me annoy you for so long. Kate L.- You were always a person who shared the same thoughts as me, I'm glad you were always around to talk to me, to hear me complain about people, anyway, you're great, have fun your senior year, oh and sorry for the grabbing thing. Cait- we had fun while it lasted, but hey, things change, I still have to say thank you to you for introducing me to Ali, and also thanks to your family for taking such great care of me, oh and by the way, you didn't have to lie to me, we could have talked about things, they didn't have to be so uncomfortable, but oh well, no hard feelings, and oh yea, stop dating such weird ass guys. Obi- You have to take my place to scare the new day students, you'll be the only senior guy I'd trust with that, well Aamir can help, I guess, but you take care and have fun next year. Jenny J.- sorry about freshman year. You're all great, thanks for dealing with me, and especially thanks to all who helped me deal with the fire, I'll never forget that. And of course I can't leave without willing some things to some people, some are a little too bad to list here, but here are ones I can; Obi- you get the key to my "special locker" you have to start passing it down, you'll find a good guy to keeping it going. Jake- you can have my ability to make people laugh, my great ability to say the exact wrong thing at the wrong time, saying brilliant one-liners that always get a roar, and my ability to be more annoying than anything, use these gifts wisely, but like me, not sparingly. Cait- You can have my ability to be cute and spontaneous, also you get to scare the piss out of all the new comers, but you do that already, so I'm not worried. Kate L.- I'm going to leave you my ability to be an extreme split personality, and also my freshman beating stick.---- And no, I'm not passing down the oil-checks, if anyone wants them, that's their problem. All good pages have quotes, but I can't think of any really good ones, but I can say" then I stuck. .. .In a light socket." and "no one dies a virgin, life screws us all." "Life is a lot simpler when you in the field, having a gun helps too." and "women are like coffee, they're hot, tasty and keep you up all night." Ok those were random sorry about that. All who read this I will leave with a bit of advice; have fun every moment you're alive, not because it could be your last, but because you owe it to yourself, and for God's sake, stay away from vases, never mind ... .Inside joke.

Now is the time to make all the final thank yous for all those wonderful people who have made the last four years of my life so rewarding and memorable. To my family who was always there to give me a hard time but in the end I know that it was your way of pushing me forward to do my best. To my closest friends who I could always go to for a good time and a shoulder to cry on. I will always remember the times we had, the good and the bad. I wish you all the best in life. To my teachers that I've had through the years who have grown to become more than just a teacher to me but also a mentor and a friend. I thank you all from the deepest part of my heart. You have helped me grow into the person I am today. Love you! 40

Mom -We have been through a lot these last few years but we made it and now we are stronger. I truly appreciate the opportunity you gave me by allowing me to attend Wayland . Thank you for all of your support in anything I decided to venture into. You have put up with a lot of crap from me since Dad left and I thank you for that. Over these last few years we have had our disagreements and fights but after all that we are still here standing tall together. Things have been tough without Dad but we have each other and can make it through anything together. Thanks again for everything you have done for me. You are the best Mom ever!!!!! Dad- What up , how you been doing? I miss you . It hurt really bad when you left. I thought that my life was over but I was wrong , my life was just beginning . I have been working on and off these years since you passed , sorry about that. Sometimes it was hard to keep my head up and keep going but I just remember that you were not completely gone from my life ; I just relied on the memories of you. I'm sorry about the way I have treated some of those dearest to you since you left but I guess I needed someone to blame but I will try to treat that person better while they are still on this earth . You taught me many things while you were alive and I thank you for that. i wish sometimes I knew what happened or why but I guess I won 't know since you aren't here to tell me . But I just want you to know that I will never forget you and if I ever do anything that you don't approve of I'm sorry. Well guess I am almost a young man because of all the things you taught me when I was little ; thank you for that. I love you more than anything in the world . I'll see you again someday. Holla!!!! Cameron and Ariana- You two have been a driving force for me. I love you guys to death . No matter what I say , you two mean the world to me. Thanks for all the support that y'all have given me over the years. Thanks for always being there when I needed y'all. You two are very special to me no matter what you guys think, ok?

You have been there for me since 8th grade and I appreciate your friendship. You are a great friend you always lookout for me, and you are always giving me good advice. Thanks for everything!! Terrence- Ross , you are in my eyes an extremely special person . You made me want to venture from home and try Wayland . When I came to Wayland , I was intimidated by the high stature you held . I always knew that you were cool but I just didn't know how to socialize with you and the guys . You helped me tremendously my sophomore year. You were always there to help me through my hard times whether you came and talked to me, helped me with homework, beat me up, gave me advice on and off the court, or just helped me get out of a work crew. The best days were the mail days when we would sit and read the little letter we would get. I consider you to be a big brother to me. You are a great role model. I with you the best of luck in the rest of your college career in basketball. You are a great friend and teammate . Thanks for everything!! Juan- Thanks for being my roommate for two years.

I know you guys hated R. Kelly, but it is just great music. I won't ever forget you guys. Thank you guys for being great friends! Wood - Dwood the Champ! What's up bussy? We have had some exciting moments since sophomore year. Like the BD homecoming or the exciting b-ball games in Lindsey Gym , and don't forget about all the track meets when I was scared to run and you made me run fast. Yeah , and we made it to state.

To My Parents: I will always be grateful for these years at Wayland you have given me. Thank you for the many sacrifices that you have made to allow me to have had this great opportunity. I also appreciate all the support you have given to me throughout my high school career. You were constantly pushing me to work towards my full potential. I feel it has all paid off, after four years Wayland has instilled its motto of Knowledge and Character into me. To My Friends: Thanks of making the past four years memorable. I do not think there was a time when we were not laughing. If Wayland has done anything for me it was develop great friendship. We all have become such good friends over the past four years that I know I will miss all.

Time flies like an arrow and my high school life is now over. I DID IT!! Since I decided to leave my home and came here, many things happened. I came here as a sophomore student. Time had passed and I stand here as a senior now. I can't believe this!

DAY STUDENTS "We dont have to stay here, we get to go home!"
Friends in the Beaver Dam community had informed me that Linda Fischer at the Beaver Dam Senior High was an excellent English Teacher. When we at Wayland had a sudden and unexpected resignation in the first quarter and when I heard that Linda Fischer had taken some time off from her position, I called her hoping to persuade her to join Wayland. What a gem we acquired! She adjusted quickly to the the demands of the private school. In the classroom she was demanding and thorough. Her wit and her "class: made her popular with the students. When she moved into the administration, I knew she had the two el;sential qualities which a Dean of Students must possess--she was an excellent listener, and she was fair in the decisions she had to make.

dohn Patterson Fot!Uity Finer/Ius:
I have had the good fortune of working with several Deans of Students in the last 26 years at Wayland. All of the have taught me a lot. Mrs. Fischer is an ideal Dean of Students in that she is organized, not easily flustered, fair, funny, and student-centered. She is an example of the best of independent school educators. The public schools' loss has been our gain.
Way land Academy has been a great experience for the Fischer farnil y. Linda and I had worked for the Beaver Dam School District for 19 years before she became a member of the English Department in 1987. We really didn ' t know what to expect at that time, but I can say that we have met many wonderful faculty and students in the Wayland Community. Leaving the classroom to become the Dean of Students was a difficult decision for Mrs. Fischer, as she comes from a family where three of her sisters were also English teachers. It is through this position, however, that I think the Wayland community has learned some of the things that I have come to know about her during our 33 years of marriage. She has always exhibited a certain strength and dependability that is best illustrated by the time she broke her leg during spring break in 1992. She was in a full leg cast for four months, followed by a great lower leg cast for another seven months, and she never missed a day of school because of the injury. She has the ability to get things done in a very organized and timely manner, which is very critical in her position as Dean of Students. The quality that I appreciate most in her, however, is he ability to stay calm in trying situations and having the knack of knowing when and what to say to me a lift when I need it. Congratulations Linda on a well-deserved honor.

Mrs. Fischer is a professional. She reflects our core values with her caring approach to the lives of all students, with her respect for others and for the Wayland culture, and with her integrity in implementing the rules of conduct. I have seen her in action at the hospital ER late in the evening and have listened to her replays of difficult yet helpful conversations with parents. Mrs. Fischer's common sense style is endearing and her teaching ability admirable. It is a pleasure to add my thoughts to this most appropriate tribute.

Yearbook rocked! I worked hard. Some didn't. I'm graduating. Y'all are stuck here. We finally sent away the yearbook. As well as Jeremy. I beleive I should receive the MVYS (Most Valuable Yearbook Staffer). I own Browneye!
Well .. .it wasn't exactly what I expected. So much time and effort was put into the class. Very, very stressful. But I had a lot of fun, thanks to Chris, Jeremy, and Soto's juicy gossip. I don't know how we pulled this off with so many procrastinators, but we did! Thanks to Mr. Brown for putting up with us, and the yearbook staff for making this class exciting.
Piece of cake! With the odd exception here and there, we cruised this year. Such effortless assembly of a yearbook can only happen with a dedicated crew. My congratulations to this year' s staff on a job well done; your enthusiasm and commitment to this project made for a worry-free, (not to mention handsome), installation of the Pillars. A special thanks to Yoko, our editor, for her extra effort on the Senior pages; no doubt about it, those pages are a bear, and you handled it with aplomb. Great work guys!
THRI\IH YOU Our thanks to Mrs. Scafe, Mr. George Pfoertner, Shawn Arndt and the various other More thanks to Mrs. Davis, and the rest of the Advancement Office, for getting us the

"The ornaments look pretty, but they're pulling down the branches of the tree." I got to see Mr. Brown spaz this year :S wink!
It's finally done! Although it was a lot of work, I enjoyed doing it. I had so much fun in class ... (sometimes). I will miss working with these people because they were so great, (in lots of ways). Special thanks to the Advancement for constantly feeding us :). Thank you to everybody in yearbook class for helping me
You'd be surprised how much work Yearbook class, but yet it is so much fun. Constantly working on pages, taking pictures, hunting down seniors and faculty for their additions, and worrying about the upcoming deadlines takes a toll on you. However, working with such a great group as my peers to create somthing that we can cherish forever is something special. Knowing that the final product is something I helped create and can be proud of, makes it all worth it. Thanks to everyone who helped and especially to my fellow staff members.
students who were "there" when we couldn' t be; your photographs are a big part of this year's book. names, faces and information we needed to fill in our blanks. And to Jeremy, sorry you couldn't be with us.
