Murphy, Aird, Falxey, Mr. Bowers, jernberg, jannasch, Maclntosh, Leipsigcr Following in the footsteps of '44's harried pioneers, this year's Pillarr staff, led by Bettie Falvey, worked and workedfand worked. The result you see before you-the 1945 Pillarr. Last year's experi- ence was of great help, but numerous dubiously pleasant surprises, such as lack of a staff photographer and film, kept this business of putting out an annual from turning into a dull routine of met dead- lines and unlimited co-operation. The grand and glorious idea of a school annual was presented to the prospective purchasers by the staff, doubling as actors and stage-hands. In a skit, representing the best of our versatile talents, the leisurely life at Wayland in the '9O's was contrasted with today's frustrated existence. What a contrast-fin fact, what a life! Anyhow, our public got the ideafdidtft you buy a copy? Along came March, spring breezesfand Pillars meetings at every available moment. The three sub-editors, Leipsiger, Maclntosh and Aird, driven by hard-hearted Falvey, who was in turn prodtled by Mr. Bowers, tore their hair. All editors worked like fiends, missed part of their vacationfand so the staff members produced the work. After all these trials, and many more, the printer got the copy, cuts, and photos, and eventually the Pillmar '45 was proudly placed in the hands of its loyal supporters. It was fun for us, and we hope that our efforts will bring back memories. fillffl, Atkeson, Lawrence, Bicknell, Julie Pickard, Mitchell, jones, Hammett, Whitfield, Quirt, Roberts Page 18

Six performances were given by our idols jand understudies with the opening and clos- ing ones smash hits. 8 E Page 17

H' Ceffica In the last year, our student senate has gained much power in self-government. It has helped develop student campus leaders who can plan and administer student regulations. As this part of Way- land life ends, the senate has left a wonderful record with high promises of future progress. Under the efficient guidance of Senate President Don McCreedy, this group became an important part of Wayland's legislative and disciplinary bodies. The senate members suggested necessary rules, held cases brought before the discipline committee, discussed school problems and, of course, planned our weekend activities. Class presidents Neil Aerts, Julie Pickard, Robert Griflin, and Midge Leipsigerg Y. W.
