Cazfain Caffa As the curtain falls on Act III of the WAY- LAND REVUE, 1944-45, we seem to detect the scund of sighs from the audience-of relief or could it be regret? If regretMwell, most actors take curtain calls and we are no exception. In the three acts of the play proper, we have tried to show you Wayland on display-at work, at play, in costume for football, basketball, choir, and other activities. Now the curtain calls show Wayland day by day-our actors off stage, off guard or just a little off. . .

Quiet crept over the Roundy clubrooms. The photographer began to focus his camera and the class of '45 posed for the picture of their 10th anniversary. Currently starring in Mac- beth, we see Audrey Wilk, while next to her is Alice Curti who is taking surveys in Liberia. Quinn Murphy is now writing the third vol- ume of his history of buses. Gloria Gordon, the escape artist, is billed as the female Hou- dini by circus barker, Dan'l Goetz. Velma Green, always against smoking, is president of the local W,C.T.U. Our three animal fanciers seem to be keeper of the monkeys at the zoo, Paul Garvin, horse show enthusiast Cart- wright, and Don McCreedy, proprietor of a flea circus. This time, reading from right to left we have gym teacher Macintosh, Cynthia Morris, who is now guiding Hillcrest moppets through their ABC's, and another zoologist, Rich Grohe, who takes care of iish in an aquarium. Whit is now a farmer and proud father of eight sons, and Dotty Hunt has become the suburban matron with a family of live. Still at Wayland is Lynn Hallberg, alumni secre- tary. Dick Mallett returned from darkest Africa for our reunion, while john Meyer, coach of the Oshkosh All-Stars, stopped harassing Mr. Pasko long enough to return for this gathering. Professor Clarkson, and physicist Peterson are now making extensive experiments with explosives, and Salvation Army lassie Falvey journeyed far to join our happy throng. Midge has turned her talents to airplane motors, and is one of Lockheed's best me- chanics, but Fran Smith has become a librarian. Senator Jernberg honored our gathering with one of his customary speeches, as did Shrinet ljannasch. And if you want a tooth pulled, we can think of no better dentist than Dr. Williams Qadv.D. Bob Warnier and Tom Bardenwerper have become typical men-about-town, and had just returned from a trip around Beaver Dam. Again returning to reading right to left, we find Audrey Madsen, who is now teaching higher math. As Karen brews perfumes, lilaine johnson is winning acclaim as a trapeze artist, Barbara Quirt is proprietor of an old men's home. Bicky has returned to Wayland and has replaced Mrs. Foster as dean of women. Nettie jean is busy as a drum majorette, while Diane is enjoying life as an undertaker. So with this forward look, the class of '45 takes its final bow, and the curtain falls until ten years hence at this very same time. Page 59
