The following pages are but a small sampling of the objects and images created by Wayland Academy students in Visual Arts classes during the 1999-2000 academic year.

FALL SPORTS Wayland athletics started the year in a new conference. Actually it was a reincarnation of the old conference as several teams fro Midwest Classic Conference North left to form new or different conferences. The remaining teams then joined the MCC south to s form , the Midwest Classic Conference. In the newly realigned conference, Wayland maintained its perennial rivalries with St. J Northwestern, Brookfield and the University School of Milwaukee, but was now pitted against such strong WISSA athletic progr< Heritage Christian, Burlington Catholic Central and Shoreland Lutheran. Football, having to forfeit its first two games due to lack of numbers (unfortunately, missing the annual clash with Lake ForestAcad was looking at a very difficult year. They started slow but showed definite promise toward the end of the season against tough conf( opponents. Coach Hill had this to say:

We finished the year 1-7, making USA TODAY with our first win in three years. Many young and energetic, new faces had an imm impact on the team, seeing as we had only two returning starters. Our seniors showed great leadership and had a huge impact on our This group had the biggest heart and the best attitude I have coached at Wayland: they should be proud. Of particular note this season, Coach Hill points toT errence Robinson's 440 yards of rushing and 7 touchdowns as extremely pron for next year. Strong defensive performances this season were turned in by Mark Ohrtman, Tom Campbell and Pete Vellani havi tackles a piece. Wayland's Soccer program turned over a new leaf this season, turning last year's losing season into a winning one. Althoug consistancey of this team was somewhat erratic--playing tough against some of the best teams in the state and yet losing to some tea the MCC basement, Coach Trau chalks this up to Wayland being a young and inexpereinced squad and is very optomistic about

season. He offered the following comments:

Wayland's boys varsity soccer program reboundedfrom a disma/3-16 in 1998 to a healthy 9-6 in 1999. Newcomers helping the program included freshmen Mike Adams (goal), Weston Radford (midfield), jeffKuehling (defense), along with sophomore forward Max Nahaylo junior exchange students Dominik Hueren (forward) and Peter Richter (midfield). Veteran forwards Will Keating, Chris Starz (I 5 goals each this season) and Martin Hogg (9 goals), provided most ofthe scoring punch for the Wolverines, while stellar sophomore jordan Esten and senior David Stelsel anchored the midfield unit. Senior co-captain Alex Wacker and sophomore Nick Teachout led the defensive corps, with senior head-ball specialist Drews Gosse! adding versatility to the lineup. A good returning nucleus should allow the Wolverines to be in the hunt for a 2000 conference championship. ing to the girls, Wayland's volleyball team had reason to be concerned with the conference re-alignment as they were pitted against regular WISSA state qualifiers as Heritage Christian, Catholic Central and Shoreland Lutheran. With the return oflast years starters Johnstin, Katie Eisenreich, Megan Christian and Erin Martens along with the newly added talents of Jessica Tomberlin and Tiffany the Wayland squad proved to be a formidable opponent narrowly missing out on qualifYing for the state tournament. Coach Evan had this to say about the 1999 season:

We had an excellent record this year, finishing 12-4 overall with an MCC record of6-3, marked by outstanding victories over St. joanAntida ofMilwaukee and Racine Prairie. Unfortunately we lost narrowly in two very hardfought matches against secondplace Burlington Catholic Central and third place Shore/and Lutheran which placed us fourth overall in the conference. We also almost defeated the top MCC team, Heritage Christian in an excitingpair ofgames at the conference tournament: that match was probably the best match I have seen a Wayland team play in my time as varsity coach. Special congratulations to senior Holly johnstin who was selected to the all-conference first team and Wayland's MVP this year, considering the caliber of the conference, this is indeed an outstanding acheivement. Congrats also to Megan Christian, who never set a ball before this year managed to place fourth in the conference in assists and is this years most improved player. 81

Girl's tennis had a winning record this year under Coach Freddie Susnar and even saw one of its members, Anna Mehnert, qual the state championship. (Unfortunately she could not attend due to illness.) Coach Susnar had this to say about the season: "Wa girls tennis posted a 5-4 record this year in dual meets. The performance of the team was excellent during the year. Each player imp and really worked hard. From the summer camp to after the end of the year the girls really strived to become better. I am proud their efforts." Girl's field hockey unfortunatly did not finish the season with a winning record but long-time coach Diane Alpaugh was extr pleased with the effortS of her team. She offered this quote:

The season ended with the girls posting a 3-6 record. Each game the Woverines continued to improve. Wayland almost upset the fo team, Hartland Arrowhead, in the pfayoffi finally Losing 2-1. I am really proud ofthe girls game throughout the whole year. Each we improved and our effort was exceLLent. A special acknowledgmentgoes to the outstanding Leadership and exceLLentplay ofcaptains. Kuenzi and Rachel Yeomans. Special recognition to seniors Emily Zytkiewcz, Lindsay Norsworthy and Maria Benavides. Wayland formed (or revived) a cross country team this year. Although Coach Sarah Hawley's hopes were modest, a pleasant su came from freshman harrier, Amanda Eisenreich who managed to qualify individually for the state championship.

WINTER SPORTS

Wayland's sports scene moved indoors as the cold settled in and the snow began to fall marking the start of yet anâ&#x20AC;˘ lengthy Wisconsin winter. There were some interesting differences this winter season over the one a year ago start with, the raucous Super Fans of'99 were out this year as Wayland found a new method of supporting its t( The traditional porn poms and cheerleading routine stepped into the new millenium as the emergence ofWayl Performance Team took center stage at a number of basketball halftimes. The team issued this statement about season: This year's Pom Squad newly christened the Performance Team definitely "Blue" the crowd away. The squafA to say the least, "Larger than Life" with thirty total dancers. Captains Cat Roberts and Esther Aubry led thegn 'Jump" into action, performing at over 15 home basketball games and tournaments. Taking a new twis Performance Team not only used poms but more stylized props as well. Flashy garlands, chairs and a special m guests (thanks Marty) all added to the excitement. Fun, entertaining and a little bit "Crazy, " the 1999Performance Team put on an amazing show.

The Wayland Basketball teams changed positions this year as last year's State Semi-finalist Boy's ream struggled in the 2000 regular season and the Girl's Basketball team finished with a Conference Championship. Although the Wolverine Boys team finished the regular season with a 11-10 record (6-7 in MCC conference play), they put together some impressive victories in the playoffs, and managed to reach the State basketball championship, where they lost to a tough Marshfield-Columbus team. Other highlights of the season were wins over 1Orh ranked Onieda N arion and a rough Milwaukee N orrh team. "We played a very com peri ti rve schedule this year, facing four ranked opponents. This tough schedule should allow us to have a good run in the post season," said Coach Eli Crogan, "I am happy for our seniors Aleks Tomic, Joe Westra, Joe Greene, Drews Gossel and Dave Stelsel. The Lady Wolverines managed a complete turn around this year finishing first in the five team MCC-Norrh conference. Coach Susnar had this to say about her team: I was eager for the season to start because I believed that this team was going to be a pleasure to coach andfun to watch. We struggled in the early part ofthe sesason with the team chemistry and defining roles, but after Christmas we began to break stride. Our team defines the word TEAM in its simplest terms; afunctioning unit working together to complete a common goal. Captains Katie Eisenreich, Haleema Khan and Bridget Slinger were instrumental in keeping the team focused. I knew we were the team to beat when I started to notice four or jive names appearing in the conference top ten season statistics. The team won the MCC-North conference with a record of7-l (13-6 overall), not having lost a single road game allyear. The biggest victory is yet to come as we push ahead through the regional tournament. From now on every single game is a must win and I know that this group ofplayers understands when I tell them, "whatever it takes." 103

ually impressive this year was the performance of this years alpine ski racing team. Coaches David Kasper and Alpaugh summed up their season in the following statement: Once again, the weather was afactor during the months ofNovember and December. During this time we could only do dry land exercises due to the lack ofcold weather. On january 1-5, thirteen ofthe ski team members wentto Brule Mountain for three days oftraining. The results ofthe camp were very evident early in the competition ofearlyjanuary. It also allowed the boys team to race in the first meet prior to the start ofschool. As the season went on the boys team found themselves doing better and better and in the end qualified for the Conference Race and were invited to participate in the State Ski Meet at Lacrosse. The girls team also did very well and was competetive through out the year. It was only in the final meet that they were beaten outfor a chance at the Conference and State Ski Meets. All in all, we were very pleased with the results ofthe two teams this year. Many thanks to this years captains Anneke Warren and Lindsay Norsworthy for the girls, and Eric Larimer and Chris Starz for the boys. Swim team began the new season with a few new athletes, a new coach and a strong collection of talented veterans. Heidi Zuehlke had this to say at the start of the season: " The co-ed swimming team has great potential this n. With a number of new faces the team is ready for action. It is our team goal to see some long standing school be broken this year. The team is working hard and it will be exciting to see what will be acheived." Indeed did fall this year as the 200 free relay mark for the Sol Wolfe pool fell for the Wayland Girls 0ordan Cole, Hackman, Brie Taylor, Jakie Wright). Congratulations to Brie Taylor, who also set school records in the 100 y and the 50 Freestyle. Captain Jackie Wright wrote this about the Wolverine's season in the water: Well another yearfull ofdedication andperseverence. We are proud ofwhat we have accomplished and we are proud ofthe talent which we have gained from our fellow swimmers, coach and captains Our coach Heidi gave her allfor us and we are lookingforward to seeing her nextyear at the pool. The talented Terrence Tong, jef!Wang, Matt Tam and myself, the four seniors on the squad, would like to say good bye to the team and wish them the best ofluck next season.

Pillars Note For a Yearbook with a May delivery, producing pages that depict Wayland in the Springtime is an extremely difficult task. In order for you to receive this book before graduation, the yearbo k company (in this case Jostens) asks t e school to submit its final pages for processing twelve weeks prior to delivery. In our case, the final deadline was March 6, 2000. So you see, there are atleast two months of spring action and adventure at Wayland that will never make the book. The simple solution to this problem has been to create what is called an insert. A yearbook insert is a signature of pages, bound seperately and an adhesive strip applied to the last page so th at the entire signiture can be pasted in to the book's back cover. However, current Pillars opinion holds that inserts detract from the overall aesthetic and flow of the book. They also have a tendency to fall out or getlost easily. Thus, we don't ha ve an msert. So instead of offering multiple photos of Spring events, over the next three pages the Pillars presents an analysis f the events and traditions that will be taking place over the course ofWayland's spnng season.

Even though we are a high school, it is likely that Wayland maintains the tradition of its faculty wearing full academic regalia because the school started out as a University. Faculty and Administration march in black gowns which mark the wearers acheivement of a postsecondary degree. Graduates of the academy wear the traditional red cap and gown with red tassle. The tassel, upon receiving the diploma should be moved from the left side of the mortarboard to the right. Informal tradition then dictates that the mortarboard be tossed into the air from the collective heads of the graduates once the President officially closes the commencement ceremonies. Some of the Wayland red robes may also be garnished with a gold tassel worn around the neck. These tassels indicate the students induction into Wayland's Cum Laude Society. Academic Ragalia: The hood and robe indicate specific information about the academic background of its wearer: Velvet Lining: Evey hood is lined with a specific colored velvet. The color inicates the persons area of academic research in which they have earned their degree. Hence on the following faculty members you will see the following colors: Mr. Seighman-Lemon Yellow for a Master's in library science, Mr. Brown-- Chocolate Brown for a Master's in visual arts, Mr. Tom Patterson and Mr. Sampson--Pink for Master's degrees in music, Ms. Fisher, Parker and Kesler--White for degrees in English or Literature, Mr. Graham--Scarlet for a Masters in Religion and for Dr. Grieshaber and Dr. DeDeimer--Dark Blue for Doctoral Degrees in Philosophy. Satin Inner Lining: Sometimes a solid color, sometimes a solid color with a bi-secting chevron (or V shape) of a secondary color, the inner hood lining indicates the colors of the institution where the advanced degree was obtained. So for the following faculty members you would see the following colors: For Ms. Alpaugh and Mr. Catalfamo the colors red and white for Wesleyan University and Dickenson College respectively, For Ms. Hawley and Mr. Lash the colors blue and gold for Carleton College and Lakeland College respectively, For Mr. John Patterson the colors brown and yellow for the University of Wyoming and for Mr. Ciccini the colors blue and white for Middlebury College. The cut-of-the-cloth: The gowns themselves also indicate the level of degree through the cur of their cloth. A robe straight sleaves and hood indicate the earning of a Bachelor's degree. Robes with a pointed sleave and hood indicate the earning of a Master's degree (the hood displayed left is a Master's hood). Robes with rounded points on the sleeves and hood indicate the earning of a Doctoral degree. Also, Doctoral robes may be lined with velvet bars or cheverons.

One of the most exciting events to take place in the Spring is the Wayland Auction. Organized by the Director of Alumni and Parent Relations, Ms. Alicia Lewis (above left with Mr. Davis), last years event saw the auctioning of a '76 Cadillac ElDorado Converrable (above right) , a power boat and a painting by famous wildlife artist, Terrel Knachr. The event is always a good time and helps to raise money for the specific needs of the Academy. Last years funds were used to purchase much needed furniture for Pickard Dining Hall.

The hiding of the Axe is one of the oldest traditions at Wayland Academy, having its origins traced back to 1878. Although the tradition has undergone some overhauls, the current practice involves the prefects of the senior class, hiding the significant pieces of the six-foot axe and then providing the president of the Junior class with the clues before sunrise on an agreed date in the spring. The Juniors have 12 hours to decypher the clues, find the axe and turn it into the Dean of Students, Mr. Trau, in order to earn a dress-code repreive during the final week of school. More than that, finding the axe is more about class pride as last year, many juniors scoured the town, followed the elusive clues and eventually found the axe hidden in the field house. When asked where they would hide the axe this year, head prefect Loren Darling had no comment, but assuredly, it will not be easy to find

The spring is a wonderful time to be a senior as there are a number of perks. Most would say that just getting out ofWayland would be the best perk of all, but there are definitely certain advantages to the Senior Spring: Perhaps the biggest advantage is that Seniors get out of dress code for the final month ofschool--note Haleema Khan modelling a no-dress-code look to the right. As 1999 graduate Lizzy Boucher (left) demonstrates, seniors have the honor of signing the class flag which is to be run up the flagpole at the front â&#x20AC;˘ - - - - - â&#x20AC;˘ of campus signifying the opening of commencement.

----. â&#x20AC;˘beAns There are several fine arts events raking place in the spring. The Spring Musical this year will be Guys and Dolls, directed by Mr. Sampson and Ms. Parker. Several Wayland musicians will have gone on to the Stare Solo and Ensemble Competition in April and then winding down with the Music departments annual Concert in the Park hel in Swan Park every May, (last year's choir is pictured left). A few students will have exhibited their art work, along with the work ofWayland's art faculty, at the Dodge County high school art show at the Seippel Gallery in Beaver Darn in Early March. And there will also be several displays of art by local artist: Verne SallfandMichael Platt (Wayland Alumni) , _....._.. along with an end of the year student exhibition.

SPRING SPORTS The Girl's Soccer Team has three goals this season! First, get in shape. Second, learn how to play soccer as a team and Third, win more games than everybody else. --Mr. Graham

Last year the Boy's Tennis Team finished the season with only one loss to Edgewood of Madison and the number one singles player, number two doubles went to state. It will be very difficult to match last years performance because our top players graduated. However, with hard work and intense practices, we hope to compete well and to build the team over again. This year we lack the depth and experience but we will compensate by working hard and with determination. -Mr. Khreish

122

t year's WISSA State Champions return the bulk of that team this year and are a solid bet to for the state title once again.

Track and Field Season is a grab-bag. The coaches never really know what they have until have until the season's first competition. But, since Wayland never fields the numbers to be a 路ve as a team, this year's goal is to try and qualify more athletes to the WISSA State Meet last year. Only Chelsea Coffman returns to challenge for the conference girls shotput title and ps improve on last year's 9th place finish at State. Miss Hawley will coach the distance events this year and I will be handling the throws, jumps sprints. Both coaches are optimistic that Wayland will see many success stories on the track in the field this season. -Mr. Brown

123

Baseball is looking to improve this season with added depth and experience coing to the team. 路Ne are hoping that the team comes together and plays well during the spring. Pitching will be the tion mark but hopefully players will step up and make some plays. -Mr. Hill Athletic Director

In accordance with tradition, the Pillars annually recognizes those members ofthe Wayland community who have made significant and lasting contributions to the quality ofthis institution. For his 21 years ofservice as a Spanish teacher, dormitory supervisor and Academic Dean to Wayland Academy, this year's Pillars is dedicated to ...

One day, a continuation of The Wayland Story will chronicle Joe Lennertz' s major contributions to developing an up-to-date and rigorous college-preparatory curriculum- as well as to advancing the high academic standards of the Academy. Until then, those who know will appreciate this yearbook's dedication as yet another indication of the Wayland community's real affection and high regard for our Academic Dean.

President, Wayland

En los veinte afi.os que conozco a Joe Lennertz, el ha trabajado conmigo como profesor de espafi.ol, ha servido de jefe de Wayland Hall cuando yo trabajaba all1, ha sido presidente del departamento de idiomas y ahara trabaja como mi asesor academico. En esos veinte afi.os ha sido mi amigo, mi colega y mi mentor. Me alegro mucho de que le hayan dedicado este anuario porque ha demostrado una incansable dedicacion a Wayland. De verdad, es un modela para los profesores y para los estudiantes par su dedicacion ala ensefi.anza, al aprendizaje y a los principales valores de Wayland. MICHAEL J. SCHNEI

Foreign Language Department 128

ber the first day Mr. Lennertz appeared on the Wayland campus. We were having an opening ty meeting, and Mr. Sampon, the then chairperson of the Foreign Language Department, leaned to whisper in my ear, "We have a good one here." Mr. Sampan's assessment has proved true. ber as well when Mr. Lennertz applied for the position ofAcademic Dean. Several colleauges "He's young, but he's good. I hope he gets it." When he did, I was one of those made . In the years since that appointment, I have continued to remain happy. Mr. Lennertz is firm fair; he is well organized and hard working. Most important to me, he is well grounded in all 1(1u.•~·u·, ... areas. I feel I can talk to Joe about anything, and he often has given me tides of books he I would enjoy reading, or films he thinks I would enjoy seeing. If Mr. Sampon were here today, sure he would whisper in my ear, "I was right, wasn't I?" Yes, indeed!

JOHN P. PATTERSON

Proctor Chair in English one thinks of an independent school educator, no individual fits the description more perfectly Joe Lennertz. It is the role of an independent school educator to become involved in the life of students and throughout his years at Wayland Academy, Joe Lennertz has been immersed in the of the community and integral to its success during the last two decades. · gas a dormitory director, teacher and administrator, Mr. Lennertz has achieved the respect admiration of students, parents and his peers and is well respected throughout the independent community. Mr. Lennertz is often consulted by his colleagues in independent schools and has on several accreditation commitees. As the Academic Dean, Mr. Lennertz has been the ..,..... L'v"'" of the community, constantly striving to improve and enhance the academic quality of the Instrumental in introducing technology to the school, Mr. Lennertz has labored to bring into the computer age. is a privilege to have worked with Mr. Lennertz and an honor to call him my friend. SHANE FOSTER

Headmaster of Upper School Nansemond-Su.lfolk Academy 978 this young, skinny, new Spanish teacher was hired and assigned to live and assist in the · ion ofWayland Hall where I was the director and the boss. Shortly thereafter I was impressed this man's knowledge of not only his subject matter but also his ability to deal with students. Now sign on his office door says nothing more than Joseph Lennertz. other faculty and students we all know where we stand with Sefi.or Lennertz who does not words or circumvent the issues. Unlike Ogden Nash who writes about the fact that he prefers who talk behind your back, Mr. Lennertz talks to your face; while some may find this there is no question where one stands ... no ambiguity, no doubt, no confusion. seph Lennertz is well-read and he uses a lot of big words like plethora, contumacious, recalcitrant carpe diem. When he smiles, you know you have broken through the stereotypical dean facade. or not one realizes it, he always has your best interests at heart, and often this takes the form being the hard guy. I have academic questions, I seek out Dean Lennertz. If I have personal problems, I seek out Lennertz. Ifl have a a taste for a gourmet dinner, I seek out ChefLennertz. Over the years return to Wayland to tell him how much he affected their lives in a positive fashion. For me, the key element of an individual's worth. The question to ask is did I make a difference in s life. Along the way my comrade (my boss) and my friend Joseph Lennertz has done that many persons, including me. Wayland is fortunate to have found him. Ell SEIGHMAN 129

Yearbook class breaks down as follows: 144 pages, 12 staff, 3 computers and 7 months complete our task. Simple eh?! Any yearbook advisor will tell you that there is nothing li having a small army to complete the daunting task of assembling the school's anm publication. Yet, at twelve pages per person over the course of seven months, there we certainly gaps of time where there was plenty of nothing to do. For this I am sorry, I tri' to make as much work as possible. I am sure you were not too disappointed. You will notice that this year's book contains a "heckuv-alot" more graphics. Much crec to Sony, the makers of the MAVICA camera and to Larry Bislew for providing us with a "partia scanner, so we could be blessed with the plethora of clip/pop art images that you see scatten throughout the book. And many thanks to those who learned or picked up the computer skil to process those graphics. To those who were not so graphically inclined, thanks for t akir the pictures, tracking down the information and doing the tasks I asked of you; your effor are easily forgotten but incredibly valuble. To all yearbookers, I realize that boredom was fact of life in such a large class, but for your efforts and your input (and you certainly h< a great deal of input), I thank you . A huge, magnanimous thanks to Esther, 2000 Pillars Editor Extrodinaire who cetainl wasn't afraid to dive head first into the most complex of tasks. Thank you also to our Directc of Publications, Trevor Durham, for hookin' us up when we needed stuff. To those wh contributed photos and information to the yearbook, even though I have no idea who yo may be, I humbly thank you .

" ... this whole thing about yearbook. I mean, everybody's in this big hurry to make this book to supposedly remember what happened. But it's not even what really happened, just what everybody thinks was supposed to happen. If you made a book of what really happened, it would be a really upsetting book." -Angela (My So Called Life)

After spending many long Sunday afternoons in the computer lab trying to meet a deadline, I finally feel that we've put together a yearbook to satisfy the demands of the Wayland students. Many thanks to the staff for all the work they did and for putting up with me through my ever-sointolerable outbursts. A special thanks to Ali for helping to calm me down and see things in a clearer light again. I never would have survived sixth hour without you. Thank you to Li'l Bislew, from both Ali and I, for always being a form of entertainment (or is it irritation?) .
