2008-2009 Annual Report - Wayland Academy

WAYLAND
ACADEMY
Annual Report
2008-2009

ANNUAL REPORT
President
of the
The 2008-2009 school year was a very good one with an enrollment in the fall of 236, down a modest
two students from the prior year. While our long-range plan caps enrollment at 250, we can operate
successfully anywhere in the 235-250 range. The key is reaching the budgeted tuition revenue, giving
us the funds we need to run the school. We opened the 2009-2010 school year with 222 students and
tuition revenue far below our goal. This necessitated revising our operating plan, a demanding task
that we have accomplished.
The following report summarizes 2008-2009, a year of many achievements in academics, fine arts, and
athletics. I hope you will find enjoyment in reading about the year and the fine faculty, staff, and
students we have at Wayland.
Governor Jim Doyle was Wayland’s
commencement speaker for the class of
2009. (l-r) Trustee Emeritus Karl Rauschert

NEW FACULTY
Once again we had limited turnover
in our faculty.
Adam C. Yankay joined the faculty as
an instructor in math and math
department chair. Adam graduated
Summa Cum Laude and received his
B.A. in Art and Performance from the
University of Texas at Dallas in 1997.
He received an M.A.T. from
University of Texas at Dallas in 2004
specializing in mathematics. He was a
math teacher at The Highlands
School in Dallas from 1998 through
2005. From 2005 to the present,
Adam had been the math department
chair at Vermont Academy. While
teaching in Texas, Adam served as a
curriculum writer for National
Consultants for Education. He
developed curricula for pre-algebra
through algebra 2, including course
summaries, benchmarks, scope and
sequence, and lesson plans. Adam is
very familiar with our new math
sequence (Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and
Geometry), and, before arriving in
Beaver Dam, he worked closely with
the department on this year’s courses.
Adam and his wife, Cara, have three
children and are living in Glen Dye
Residence Hall where Cara is the
head resident.
Luke D. Houdek joined the faculty as
director of the coordinated tutorial
program. Luke has an Associate of
Arts and Sciences degree from UW
Fond du Lac. He received a B.A.
from Trinity Christian College in
Illinois in 2006. His major areas of
study were history and social studies.
Luke served as a substitute teacher
for two years at Central Waupun
Christian Schools. For the last three
years, he has taught history and
coached at Heritage Christian Schools
in Milwaukee. He has extensive
coaching experience in basketball and
football and has worked at the
Milwaukee Bucks' Basketball Camps.
In addition to his faculty
responsibilities, Luke will work in the
dorms and coach football and
basketball. Luke and his wife, Julia,
will be living on Franklin Street.
ACADEMICS
Commencement week activities for
the Class of 2009 began with our
annual Honors Convocation and
ended with Commencement
Ceremonies on May 24. We were
honored to have Governor Jim Doyle
as our speaker. The Doyles are also
parents of a Wayland alumnus. Their
son, Gabe, graduated in 1997.
Following commencement, the
faculty held its annual retreat on
campus. The faculty spent quite a bit
of time reviewing the year and then
moved to new topics. After a spirited
conversation about final exams and
Adam Yankay, Chair of Math Cara Yankay, Head Resident
Glen Dye
how we assess student work in
classes, we agreed to modify the
traditional end-of-semester testing to
allow for a variety of assessment
methods. For example, English and
history teachers may opt to replace
their final exam with a final research
paper due on the last day of the
semester. We will continue to
evaluate our end-of-semester
activities to ensure that we are
meeting the needs of our students.
I am pleased to report that two
faculty members have completed
advanced degrees. Sean Costello in
the English department and PJ Osvald
from the history department have
successfully completed master's
degrees. Two faculty members
continue to pursue advanced degrees.
Jason Nicholson continues to work on
his Ph.D. in philosophy, and Tyler
Graham will be finishing a degree in
pastoral theology in the coming year.
We were notified at the end of August
that one senior student has been
named as a National Merit
Scholarship Semifinalist for 2010. On
the basis of his performance on the
2008 PSAT test, Nicholas Derr will
continue in the competition for
scholarships.

ACADEMY LIFE
The 2008-2009 school year was a
productive one in terms of residential
living. Our greatest success was the
group of 52 seniors who graduated in
May. Of these students, 33 were fouryear
seniors, the largest such group
that Wayland had seen in many years.
Most of their stories carried two
common themes: consistent
improvement through the years and a
deep loyalty to the Academy. It was a
tear-filled commencement ceremony,
and I imagine that we will see many
of them making detours to Beaver
Dam in the coming months and years.
There were many of notable events
on campus over the last year. Among
them was a well-received chapel talk
from one of the few Holocaust
survivors. The senior class continued
to run Heaton's Union with little
outside help from the faculty and
staff. I was also impressed with the
success of a number of the studentrun
clubs. The most prominent
startups were an Ultimate Frisbee
club (that had a number of events
held at night with glow-in-the-dark
Frisbees), a group that monitored
human rights, and a club for food
enthusiasts that met over lunch on
Fridays. We were also blessed with a
great group of student leaders spread
throughout the classes. I am certain
this was the main reason that the need
for student discipline was at an alltime
low.
The class of 2010 expects to have a
great year. It is our largest class in a
number of years, and their members
have high aspirations for their year as
the leaders of the pack. I would
encourage alumni to visit campus and
witness what I believe is Wayland's
greatest asset: our diverse, motivated,
and caring student body.
ADMISSION
The economy presented challenges to
the admission process this past year,
yet Wayland was still able to attract
222 students to campus. In addition,
we were been able to draw more
Midwest Talent Search (MTS)
students than in years past. Just three
years ago, we had three MTS students
on campus. Now, Wayland has 14
MTS students. They are youth who
have tested in the 85th percentile or
better in the primary academic
categories we use to evaluate
prospective students.
Retention was again above 80%. This
is a clear sign that the school is
meeting our students' academic and
social needs and fulfilling our
mission of preparing students for
college. In addition, with the newly
renovated Wayland Hall, the
admission office has one more
outstanding facility to show
prospective families.
Eric Peters, dean of admission and
college counseling, has returned his
entire staff for the fifth straight year.
This consistency has helped Wayland
attract more students to look at
Wayland than in years past.
COLLEGE COUNSELING
Wayland’s mission, in part, is to
“prepare students for a successful
college experience.”
Once again, our graduates were
successful in finding schools that
were the right fit for them. Our
faculty has done a great job preparing
our students for college, allowing
them to gain admission to some of
the top schools in the country.
Schools that admitted our students
included Stanford University,
University of Richmond, Brown
University, Northwestern University,
Georgia Tech University's School of
Engineering, Washington University
in St. Louis, University of Chicago,
University of Wisconsin - Madison,
Denison University, Wheaton
College, Auburn University, Smith
College, Tulane University,
Connecticut College, Rice University,
Macalester College, Lawrence
University, New York University,
Marquette University, DePaul
University, and Syracuse University.

ATHLETICS
Over the course of the year our
athletic teams continued to be strong
competition for all who faced the
“Big Red.” Several teams made
school history and some individuals
advanced to sectional and state
competitions.
Fall Sports
In the fall, our football team finished
regular season play with an 8-1
record. For the second year in a row,
they qualified for the state playoffs
and gave their playoff opponent one
of the hardest hitting games they had
played all year. Several players made
first-team all-conference: seniors Joe
Richardson, Steve McCaskill, Austin
Williams, Brennan Fitzgerald, Adam
Bunkoske, Tyler Hill, and junior Nick
Schubert. The field hockey, cross
country, and girls' tennis teams had
strong performances both on the JV
and varsity levels. Boys’ soccer
finished the season at .500, having
played several strong state caliber
level teams. Girls’ volleyball won
their conference tournament, but they
took second place in the conference
for the season. The team finished
with a 22-7 record and was the first
Wayland volleyball team to host and
win a WIAA regional contest. The
squad had two first-team allconference
players in juniors Megan
Connell and Jenna Ptaschinski. The
team returns all but one member from
last year’s successful squad. With so
much returning talent and leadership,
new coach Judy Hill and her team
should have a great season.
Winter Sports
The winter season brought some
history-making moments as well. The
girls' basketball team was the first
Wayland girls' basketball squad to
host and win their first round WIAA
regional game. The girls also made
Wayland history with an overall
record of 16-5, scoring 998 points on
the season. Sophomore Anne
Rauschert was selected first-team allconference,
and junior Bri Medley
was selected as this year’s Midwest
Classic Conference division player of
the year. Both the swim team and the
ski team competed well on the varsity
and JV levels. The JV swim team has
been undefeated in dual meets for the
last few years. The boys’ basketball
team continued to compete on three
different levels: varsity, JV Red, and
JV White. The the varsity squad
posted an 8-12 overall record, and
senior Brennan Fitzgerald was named
first-team all-conference. Organized
cheerleading returned to the sidelines
of Pickard Court, as the squads
supported the JV and varsity boys’
and girls’ basketball teams and, along
with the pep band, brought much
enthusiasm to the Field House.

Resident of Ella Dye
Spring Sports
While two individuals advanced to
the state tournaments in their
respective spring sports, all of the
Wayland spring sports teams
performed well and showed great
sportsmanship and character
throughout the season. The golf team
had a strong season, getting some
dual meet wins and finishing well in
many of the conference meets.
Freshman Michael Vaubel led the
team and advanced to the state
tournament. Baseball finished the
season 6 -8 in conference play. The
team surprised Brookfield Academy
in the first round of regional play
with a 4-1 upset, having lost twice to
Brookfield in regular season games.
Senior Brennan Fitzgerald was
selected first-team all-conference.
The girls’ soccer team completed
their season with a 6-10 overall
record, as seniors Kelsey Peters and
Lindsay Cieslik and juniors Stephanie
Hill and Laura Bachman all received
first-team all-conference honors. The
girls’ softball team had another strong
season with an 11-4 overall record
while finishing second in conference
play. Juniors Megan Connell and
Johanna Sckaer and sophomore
Amanda Tramm were named firstteam
all-conference. Boys’ tennis
4

5
went 5-4 overall with the number one
doubles team of Zach Schubert and
Michael Estrella advancing to
sectional play. The boys’ track team
had a nice season, winning two quad
meets and grabbing two new school
records. Josiah Hintz, Shane Preston,
Damarr Purifoy, and Aaron Brown
ran the 1600-meter relay in 3:34.19.
Brendan Weinstein, Josiah Hintz,
Shane Preston, and Tyler Hill set a
new 3200-meter relay school record
with a time of 8:47.68. The girls’
track team also had a strong season
with two new school records and a
state track meet participant. Anne
Rauschert set a new 400-meter dash
record in a time of 1:03.94 and a new
high jump record at 5’ 4”. Anne also
advanced to the state meet in the high
jump, grabbing a 6th place state
finish for the second year in a row.
And while the teams were competing
and working hard, the individual team
members continued to garner the
Champion of Character end of season
award. This award is given to that
player who best displays Wayland’s
core values of gratitude, respect,
integrity, passion, and caring. Many
feel this is the sports award of highest
value, as it is given to those who may
not have the most skill but have the
desire to play the game for its
intrinsic value.
DEVELOPMENT
The Wayland Hall renovation project
has been completed and the final
product exceeds our expectations.
The fundraising campaign, however,
continues, as we still need to raise
nearly $1 million of the $4 million
goal. Annual giving to The Academy
Fund was excellent, as we exceeded
our goal of $550,000 and obtained a
20 percent alumni participation rate, a
level that was previously reached
only during the Sesquicentennial
year. The Academy Fund provides
critical revenue to operations,
allowing the administration to attract
top students and faculty and to
complete necessary repairs and small
remodeling projects on campus.
Tuition dollars provide only a portion
of our revenue needs. Trent Jackson,
in his third year as vice president of
development, leads the development
operations.
Under the guidance of Alumni
Director Stephanie Franklin, the
Alumni Board completed a successful
year with Michael VanHaren `82 as
president. We continued the fun
alumni event, “Wayland After Work,”
with gatherings in Phoenix, Denver,
and Madison. A good time was
always had by all! This year’s big
event was the Wayland Hall
Rededication on October 17, 2009.

FINANCE
Fiscal year 2009 revenues were
$5,952,519. While tuition revenue
was a bit short of our target, we
exceeded our revised Academy Fund
goal by $24,035 for a total of
$574,035. We managed to hold
expenses to $5,870,554, thereby
generating a surplus of $81,965. This
expense control was just an
introduction to what we must do in
fiscal 2010, as the weak economy has
descended upon us in full force.
The Wayland Hall pledges remain
strong, and donors continue to make
gifts to the project. With construction
costs of $4,075,544, maintaining this
successful fundraising campaign has
become crucial.
We recently decided to outsource the
management of our Information
Technology (IT) department to Inter-
Quest, a locally owned technology
company. With this change, we will
have more depth of expertise in many
IT areas since numerous Inter-Quest
employees have continued their
education and obtained certification
in many specialty technologies.
Remote Desktop Services (RDS) is
among the many new technologies
Inter-Quest is installing at Wayland.
This will eliminate the need to install

Admission and College Counseling; Joe Lennertz H`86, Academic Dean; Judy
Hill H`08, Athletic Director; Paul Keller, Dean of Students; and Rodney Miller,

software, such as Microsoft Office,
directly on to each employee’s laptop
or desktop computer. The use of this
virtualization technology will also
allow us to reduce the number of
actual servers from eleven to one.
This will vastly reduce the power
consumption making the addition of
any new virtual computer extremely
cost effective.
Current projects include upgrading
the school’s wireless network for
better speed and security, integrating
the data in two databases, connecting
the Field House to the Wayland
infrastructure, and installing new Web
filtering software for improved
Internet safety for students and
remote access for employees.
CONCLUSION
2008-2009 was a satisfying year on
most counts. It certainly did not
presage the negative impact of the
disastrous economy, the impact of
which I wrote about in my letter to
alums, parents, and friends on July
30, 2009, which outlined the need to
continue supporting the Wayland Hall
project. You are responding well, as
we press on with our fundraising
activities, and we are grateful.
As for our challenges in the face of
lower enrollment and tuition dollars,
our revised budget will meet this test,
and we expect to generate a modest
surplus.
I leave you with a quote from Trustee
Emeritus Judy Pickard Yeakel, whose
family has lived through much of
Wayland’s history. At a trustee
meeting during a difficult time in the
early 1990s she said in a modest and
straightforward tone, “Wayland has
survived tough times before, and we
will again.”

Making his Mark: Rauscherts Forever
Mark Rauschert’s Wayland story is not
merely life-long; it is trans-generational.
With a father as a longtime member of
the Board of Trustees, siblings, and
children graduating, attending, or about
to attend Wayland, his life at the
Academy is now an experience that
takes on a meta-personal level.
Nevertheless, his own story is still worth
telling.
Mark recalls that his first trip to
Wayland was to see his older brother,
Phil Rauschert `76, perform in the
Academy’s production of “Camelot.” He
made subsequent trips, which ultimately
included his sister, Laura Rauschert
Millar `80, as well. Mark remembers,
A Rauschert family photo: (l-r) Trustee Emeritus Karl `47, Eileen,
“All three of us were raised with the
Anne `11, Audrey `09, Cynthia, and Trustee Mark `83
stories we heard from our father, Karl
`47, and a few of his classmates (i.e.,
Bill Heaton and Judy Pickard) with whom he had kept in contact.”
From his own experience at Wayland, Mark is ever-enamored with its “totally encompassing” quality. The fact that the
faculty are in the classroom, dorm, and on the field with the students essentially 24/7 strikes him as its greatest asset.
Importantly, though, it was neither the profound Wayland family experience nor his own life at the Academy that
moved him to the active life of donor (on an annual basis). Mark explains that, “While my parents had always
encouraged me to give money to Wayland, it wasn’t until I became a trustee that I fully realized that the actual financial
cost to Wayland far exceeded the tuition. The shortfall between what parents were paying and what it was costing the
Academy to educate the students was, perhaps, $10,000 per student in the late 1990s. At that time, that meant that one
third of each student’s Wayland experience and education was being funded by alumni who in many cases didn’t even
know that student. That was a powerful testimony to what Wayland means to many of its alumni. I, in turn, recognized
how invaluable my Wayland experience had been and wanted to contribute as best I could. In some years, that meant
donating money. In other years, it meant acting as an unofficial ambassador for the Academy, recruiting prospective
students.”
Mark continues to hold out for a vision of Wayland that is world class with affordable tuition and one that holds true to
its motto promoting authentic character. He maintains, “Wayland is a small enough environment that character can
become a curriculum, not just a slogan.”
To all who want to help the Academy, Mark has these words for you: “Wayland needs your financial resources, your
testimony, and your referrals. If you are financially blessed, share that with Wayland. If giving to Wayland does not fit
into your family’s plans, you can still tell your Wayland story, and, just as importantly, you can tell potential parents and
students about Wayland. If you encourage someone to go to Wayland, that gift to the school is far more important than
whether or not you have contributed financially. Don’t limit how you can support the Academy by narrowly thinking of
only whether or not you can make a financial contribution.
And the next time you visit Wayland, make sure you make a lay-up on the brand new wood floor named “Rauschert
Family Court,” the latest renovation to Lindsay Gymnasium.

Fred Bishop `57
“There is no greater gift a parent can give to a student than a Wayland education.”
Fred Bishop `57 was raised by a mother from a small Iowa farm and an orphaned Swiss father. Their greatest desire
was to see their son get a good education and go to college. As Fred’s intellectual talents emerged in middle school, a
friend told his father that Fred’s attendance at the
local high school would mean he’d make a good
mechanic some day. The family began to look
elsewhere. Eventually, Fred attended Todd School
for Boys in Woodstock, Illinois. The school
collapsed, however, at the end of his freshman year.
On the recommendation of Betsy Roberts `49, Fred
headed off to Wayland his sophomore year, joining
the class of 1957. Of his time at Wayland, Fred
recalls fondly the “outstanding teachers,” in
particular Leo Schnur, David Proctor, Martin Meyer,
J. Hobart Tucker, and A.E. Wichman. According to
Fred, “they were a family who took me under their
wing.”
The Wayland education proved valuable to Fred, and
he found himself at Princeton University upon
graduation in 1957. To this day, it is the voice of
President Ray Patterson that sticks with him. As Fred
neared graduation, Patterson warned him, “You may
be near the top of your class at Wayland, but at
Princeton, you’ll have to work your fanny off.”
According to Bishop, Radar Ray was right.
Fred received the Alumni Achievement Award at the 2007
Alumni Reunion. His daughter, Kate, attended the reunion and
read a letter written by all three of his daughters.
(l-r) Kate Bishop Garside, Fred, Stephanie (Fred’s wife), and
David Garside.
Fred graduated from Princeton with an AB in 1961 and went on to attend Northwestern University School of Law,
where he earned his JD in 1966. In retrospect, Fred says that he treasures his Wayland experience more highly than
either his time at Princeton or Northwestern.
Fred worked for the Harris Bank until he retired as a Vice President of Corporate Financial Services in early 1979. He
and his wife Stephanie then formed a consulting company, Bishop Consulting Services. As a consultant, Fred has
specialized in the capital structures of small, privately-held companies. Fred has three grown daughters, two teachers
and a social worker. To his children, Fred emphasized the importance of making a difference in the lives of others. As a
result, all three girls have committed their time to expanding access to education. Recently,Wayland elected his
daughter, Hilary Bishop Scott, to their board of trustees.
Fred has contributed to Wayland every year since his graduation in 1957. For Fred, it is the high quality of a Wayland
education that makes donating to the school so compelling. His philanthropy, he says, involves making a Wayland
education available to those students who otherwise could not afford to be there. His gifts have gone to scholarships, the
Wayland Hall renovation, The Academy Fund, and Franklin Street faculty housing.
In addition, Fred has been an active trustee since 1972. As a trustee, his involvement largely has centered on investment
and endowment management. In recent years, Fred also has concentrated on fundraising and developing The 1855
Society.
Fred’s consistent vision is that Wayland be the top college prep school in the Midwest. He states, “I believe a Wayland
education to be the best among the many fine co-educational day and boarding schools in the Midwest.”

Nathalie and Paul Keller –
Furnishing an Oasis
When Nathalie and
Paul first visited the
Academy, they were
not foreigners to the
boarding school
world. In fact, they
met and were married
while working at one!
Nevertheless, they
were still both
impressed by the
unique and
compelling quality of
the Wayland student
body from the get-go.
They found the
students hardworking,
but not pretentious - a
rare combination, perhaps, in our time.
During their tenure here, they have come to feel connected to the school,
even enjoying some good stories of the young alumni whom they now know.
Says Paul, “After four years of being here, we're just happy; we feel a
connection with the institution.”
The impetus behind the Keller’s giving to the school is, thus, based on a
first-hand experience of the place day-in and day-out. “We see what happens
here every day and how important it is to the students involved. We believe
very much in what the school does in the lives of teenagers, especially when
the landscape for teenagers is becoming more and more difficult. At least
here there is an oasis.”
As the Kellers look to the future, they hope to see full participation in giving
from all walks of the alumni base. They believe that this type of
wholehearted commitment of the Wayland family will expand the
possibilities for future generations.
In the meantime, they take a special interest in two of Wayland’s newer
members: Paul Dudley Keller IV (2) and Charlotte Keller (newborn).

Scott Posnanski `86: Giving for a Good Cause
Scott Posnanski `86 spent three years in the Wayland boarding experience and found that it gave him the fundamental
skills necessary for problem-solving and interacting with others. In his words, Wayland gave him “people skills.” He
recalls the positive experience with sports but above all the international reality that Wayland gave him. Meeting so
many people from so many “different walks of life” was key for him. Overall, Scott confirms that Wayland is an
“excellent college prep school.” After all, his hardest class as a student through Wayland and Marquette University
was calculus with Fred Schlicher!
Ah, and if you were at the Spring Gala and enjoyed the wine, then perhaps you have received the fruits of Posnanski’s
labors in the international scene. After all, he and his wife Robin Garard are the investors in Beau Joubert Vineyard in
South Africa. Out of their generosity
and success in this field of work, they
donated all of the wine to the last
Spring Gala Auction. Now that’s the
gift that keeps on giving!
In general, he sees Wayland as “a
good cause to give back to.” Currently
he and Robin reside in Racine,
Wisconsin. Scott works primarily as a
computer consultant when wine
exporting does not take up his time!
His two older daughters, Nicole and
Brittany, have now headed off to
college, and, although they did not
attend Wayland, he looks forward to
the future, “13 years from now,” when
his son Gabriel (16 months old) might
attend.

Greg Pusinelli: The Difference a School Can Make
Although relatively new to the Wayland family, Greg
Pusinelli is not new to the world of gift-giving for
small independent schools. Having supported
Providence St. Mel’s school in Chicago for many
years, Greg knows the multiple difficulties faced by
such institutions. But he also knows how profoundly
important they are. In his own words, we must be so
“aware of the difference that a school can make on
someone’s life . . . that everything else seems to pale in
comparison.”
Greg came in contact with Wayland when his son
Adam began to have difficulties with the choices many
of his friends were making at the large public school of
Hinsdale Central. Looking around, they found that
Wayland had a good reputation for Hinsdale students
Greg Pusinelli, Adam Pusinelli `09, and Marie Pusinelli
transferring there, so they went with it. At the time,
Greg’s only other connection with the Academy was
the fact that his cousin Carol had gone to Wayland as a senior in 1977.
Did the “gamble” pay off? Pusinelli said, “It has been all that we hoped for; I told Trent [Jackson] that, obviously, the
school is not inexpensive, but, for us to make the Wayland Hall contribution shows how satisfied and excited and
grateful we were about it.”
In fact, Greg has also become a major “Chicago area” spokesman for Wayland, talking it up in multiple conversations
with peers whose children are looking for the most out of their high school experience.
As Greg reflects on the success that his son had at Wayland and the positive aspects that the Academy brings in general,
he notes that the small class size and the constant faculty-to-student contact make it what it is. He was always
impressed during parent-teacher conferences that Adam’s instructors were able to “talk chapter and verse” with him
about his son.
Perhaps, though, the distinguishing factor in a Wayland private education (that sets it apart from many other Midwest
private schools) is the international presence that the boarding school provides. Greg was very impressed by how the
school really does characterize the ideal of “diversity.” Adam’s strong friendship with Sang-Yoon Cha from Korea is a
sign of the reality of that international presence on campus.
Greg lives with his wife and four children in the Chicago area, and he works as a portfolio manager for William Blair
and Co. As he looks to the future for private education, and Wayland in particular, he hopes to see schools be able to do
educationally what they need to do without always consulting the budget. He offers the following advice to anyone
considering a donation to the Academy: “It is the best investment you can make.”

Barbara (Burstein) Katz `51
A New World of Opportunities
Mrs. Barbara Burstein Katz `51 came to Wayland as a very young 13year-old
and left transformed by an experience that gave her “a superb
education with excellent teachers, lifelong friendships, the selfconfidence
to achieve heights that I had never even dreamed of, a wellrounded
life in scholastics, music, sports, and a variety of extracurricular
activities.”
Even though her brother had been attending Wayland by the time she
began in 1947, she remembers “Wayland was a ‘world’ away from all
that [she] had known.” Surprised by the abundance of opportunities
offered by the school and its capacity to give her “more in that relatively
short period of time than I could have ever imagined,” Barbara left
Wayland as Valedictorian, Kit Mayer Sports Award winner, Cum Laude
Society membership, Junior Marshall status, Editor of the Pillars, and
award winner in sports, music, journalism, and forensics.
Barbara Katz `51
The success at the Academy was also the bedrock for the success she
found after Wayland. “Without the benefits of the Wayland experience, I
never would have been able to venture forth into the wider world of four years at the University of Michigan, followed
by more years than I care to count in New York City (where I raised three children) and Connecticut, and a 25-year
professional life at Barron’s Weekly/Dow Jones & Co.”
Barbara has been able to give back to Wayland in ways other than strictly financial ones. As she explains, “While there
were many years during which I wish I could have been more generous financially, I tried to make up for that lack by
giving of my time - organizing tri-state (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut) get-togethers, serving as Wayland’s
representative among many New England prep schools, being a class agent during the past 28 years, and serving as a
member of the special Sesquicentennial Planning Committee. In addition, “I’ve continued to host area get-togethers in
my home in the Tucson area during the past 10 years.”
Barbara to this day considers her dearest Wayland relationships as part of her family. She writes, “In recalling our
memorable 50th Class Reunion in 2001, I will never forget those 30 hardy souls who braved a chilly, rainy weekend in
Beaver Dam to lend me their support and friendship . . . not long after my beloved husband Steve had passed away.”
As she reflects on the life and future of the Academy, Barbara hopes that Wayland “will continue to do all that it does
best for at least another century or more. And for someone contemplating a donation to Wayland, he/she could not make
a better investment in the future of America’s youth.”
