HEtourist, who knows all the zones, and for the first time scales old Mt. Tom to look across the fertile, and busy, and historic Connecticut valley, exclaims with such wonder and admiration as he has not hitherto known. He has doubtless stood upon heights which have inspired greater awe, and graver solemnity ; emotions of such sort as Michael Angelo's art was born of; but so companionable and friendly an environment, with which he might match his gentlest moods is a new and exhilarating experience to him. It is an enlarged picture of his childish fancy, when of wooden blocks he built houses, and of white sands he leveled fields, and threw up turnpike roads; and not unfrequently does he wonder, if it is not after all the finished work of his child's dream.

So consistently has the distance wrought its proportions, that a whole field of wheat would seemingly make a loaf of adequate size for the inmates of the miniature dwellings which dot the plain.

Numerous factories there are, too, so quiet in their attitude as to dispel all suggestion of the ferment, and restless discontent, which attends enterprises of equal magnitude in vicinities more remote.

But here are frequent groups of public buildings which claim our attention, and which suggest an activity of a sublimer sort; which, upon investigation prove to be, nearest at hand, Mt. Holyoke College which lies nearly at the base of the eminence upon which he stands. Just beyond, nestling among the hillocks of classical old Northampton, are the beautiful halls of Smith College, Clarke Institute and the worldfamed Forbes Library. Another short stretch across the plain reveals Amherst College and Mass. Aggie; while the polite telescopist explains that by "exraying" the hills, Williams, Yale, Williston and old Cambridge town would prove to be within an easy radius. Among these towns, and hills, and valleys, the deliberate old Connecticut tarries, loath to leave the enchanted spot; while numerous smaller streams, companionable groves and inviting path complete a picture of rare beauty.

In the midst of this prodigality of culture, and nature, stands a group of plain, dignified brick buildings, which smack of learning and refinement, and conservatism and such other attributes as create an environment friendly to the highest development of mind and character; such is Williston Seminary and its vicinity. The aim of this volume is to make a somewhat adequate report of the life of the former, as it has been unravelled with the buoyancy of youth, and manifold variety of inexperience during the righteous and prosperous reign of the class of 'o6.

Eirbtration

31T is a bungling fashion that we have, and this especially in the enthusiasm of youth, of placing estimates upon men and conditions, as we meet them face to face, and all too often we learn to our chagrin how inadequate have been all our calculations. At last we arrive at the belief that time is the surest means to a perfect judgment; but summers and winters are required for the "measure of man". Nor do we know so rare a "mean" in life, as the perpetual meeting of an one, in whom we find our constant expectations realized.

Prof. Chas. C. Buffum, Salem High School '7 t, Amherst '75, University of Berlin '94-'95, and to whom this volume is lovingly dedicated, became a member of the Williston Faculty in '78. A manof scholarly attainment, he has from the first been eminently fitted to teach his subject, as head of the Latin Department.

But his accurate knowledge of the Latin texts has not been the limit of his realm of influence. He is so clothed with his subject, that the intricate page radiates before the student; and he knows not only the teachings of the study but he absorbs the spirit and becomes veritably Latinized. While so comprehensive is his knowledge of the Classics and Literature, that he projects a constant radiance of learning, diverse in its attributes, and manifold in its benefits.

He is always kind, firm, conservative, and never too busy to lend his most thoughtful influence to any individual or collective necessity that arises in school life.

In school athletics and politics, Prof. Buffum is the exhilarating or refraining spirit. He is president of the Advisory Board, and his interest in all the sports of the school never abates. His energies are untiring, and equally divided for the maintenance of clean politics, clean athletics and clean scholarship.

Nor is his influence confined to the Institution with which he is connected; but in the life of the town, the club, the church, he is ever a welcome and eventful factor, while his scholarly attainments are recognized by educational circles throughout New England.

He is indeed a leader of the highest class, in education, in morals, in athletics, or in whatever realm he projects his manifold influence; and to come under his able leadership is a sure means toward a liberal education.

ILLISTON SEMINARY is situated in the beautiful village of Easthampton, Mass., which lies in the very centre of Educational Institutions. The founding of the school originated in the mind of the Hon. Samuel Williston, a man whom hundreds of young men and women have learned to love and respect. The idea of founding Williston Seminary for young men and women came to Mr. Williston after many years of thought and deliberation. The work was commenced in February, 1841, and in December of that year, the school was thrown open to students. The Institution then consisted of a two story wooden building. Students remained in the school room to study under the direction of the principal, Luther Wright. The first building was found to be inadequate, for the school was popular from the first and had opened with a roll of ninety names. Hence, in 1844, a second building, the present Middle Hall, was erected. This was a three story building containing dormitories and recitation rooms. In March, 1857, the original building was destroyed by fire and the present South Hall was erected in its place. The Gymnasium was built in 1864, and North Hall in 1866. Later, the Mansion House was purchased and became Payson Hall, the school cottage and dining hall. In 1872, the Astronomical Observatory was erected and furnished with a sextant and a five inch refracting telescope. In 1864, the school ceased to be co-educational and it has since then become a school for boys. The laboratories have been fitted with all necessary apparatus at a great expense, and the classical departments have their rooms decorated with famous paintings and works of sculpture.

Within recent years, a lot of six acres has been taken from the Williston homestead, and has been converted into an athletic field, containing a quarter mile oval track, a straight away track and foot ball and base ball fields. It also contains a grand stand and an athletic house, and here the students are offered every opportunity to develop strong muscles and healthy bodies. The teachers in every department have always been the best men obtainable, and by association with them, the Williston man is led to feel a desire for the brightest and best things of this life. Attendance at Church twice each Sunday is required, and devotional exercises are conducted by the principal every morning,

except Sunday, in the Seminary Chapel. A Y. M. C. A. conducted by students holds its weekly meetings in the Y. M. C. A. room each Sunday afternoon. Bible classes have been started, every Thursday night, this year. A valuable library of many volumes and a reading room containing all the leading periodicals and newspapers, are found in Middle Hall, now Science Hall. The different departments also each contain valuable libraries. Two debating societies, Adelphi and Gamma Sigma, give opportunity for debate and prize speaking.

The school for the past nine years has been under the able and efficient management of Rev..Joseph Henry Sawyer, A. M., L. H. D. His ability as principal is shown by the steadily increasing roll of students and the hearty fellowship and co•operation between students and teachers. The school has reached to this condition only by the efforts of its founder and teachers, and every Williston man has a great love for his Alma Mater, a great honor and respect for those who have made it what it is, and each one remembering that "not failure, but low aim is crime" is striving to bring due honor and credit to Williston Seminary.

30SEPH HENRY SAWYER:, M. A., L. H. D., was born in Davenport, Delaware County, N. Y., May 29, 1842. He took his preparatory course partly in local schools and partly in Franklin Academy, at Franklin, N. Y. He entered Amherst College in 1861, and graduated four years later with the highest honors, missing the valedictory only by cast of lot. The year after his graduation, he taught Munson Academy. In 1866, he came to Williston, where he has remained ever since, in various capacities. During his years of teaching here he has taught Mental and Moral Science, English, History, Astronomy, Physics, Surveying and Mathematics.

His services at Williston Seminary have been so various, so invaluable, and so long continued that he ranks only second to Samuel Williston on the school's Roll of Honor. His special care in the school has been the scientific side, and its present flourishing condition speaks well for his efforts. He participated in both the quarter-centennial in 1866, and in the semi-centennial in 1891. He expended much time and trouble in preparing and printing the Alumni Record in 1875, and has since kept up the alumni correspondence to perfect it as much as possible. In 1876, Principal Whiton was late in arriving, and Dr. Sawyer organized and managed the school for him. In the fall of 1878, he rendered a similar service to Dr. Fairbanks. He was acting principal from 1884 to 1886. He spent the years 1895-6 in travel and study abroad, and on his return became principal of the school.

During his residence in Easthampton, he has served three years as a member of the Water Board, six years as chairman of the School Board and ten years as chairman of the Sewer Commission. For ten years, he was superintendent of the Payson Church Sunday School,and in 1872 he was licensed to preach by the Hampshire Association. He has five times been invited to assume church pastorates and was once elected superintendent of schools in Portland, Oregon.

His management of the school as principal has been in every respect successful. The membership of the school has increased from

REV. JOSEPH HENRY SAWYER, A. M., L. H. D.

104 to over 200. The Sawyer Athletic Field, with all its equipments, was secured through his own personal influence. And the enthusiastic welcome which the student body gave Dr. and Mrs. Sawyer on their return from a winter spent in Italy in 1904, testified his popularity throughout the school. The older members of the faculty praice Dr. Sawyer's wise and tactful leadership and all agree that social life at Williston was never so attractive and the moral tone of the school never so high as under his guidance.

An Appreriation

pROFESSOR BRUCE had strong intellectuality. His perceptions were quick, and accurate. His power of acquisition was unusually large. He retained what he learned and he held it in right relation to other parts of his knowledge. All this means that he was a scholar and he was more than a book man although he loved books. He graduated from Williston in 1878—an honor scholar. Entering Yale he at once attained high rank, won Phi Beta Kappa, an editorship on the Yale Lit and other honors in scholarship and college literature. Later Yale conferred on him the decree of Master of Arts. He never lost the scholarly habit, gained in school, in college and in German University where he spent nearly two years. What he knew he knew accurately.

Professor Bruce had generous sympathies. He sought for the best in men as well as in books. And the sincere seeker for the best will find it. He found it. He could and he did judge men quickly and keenly and rightly. But he was never harsh or over critical in his judgments. If he could speak no good of a man he preferred to speak not at all. This made him a generous and valuable friend. And while Williston boys have been profited by his knowledge we are sure they have been enriched even more by the genial charity of his friendship.

Professor Bruce was a man of right and fixed motive. He was a steady worken Detail might have annoyed him as it annoys many, but he faithfully performed the round of daily duty in the school. This was equally true of his service in his neighborhood and civic relations. He was a man on whom you could depend. He would not disappoint.

We have learned from Professor Bruce to love literature for its inspirations, its counsel, its truth. We have learned to work steadily— to do large tasks and urgent tasks thoroughly, yet without bluster. We have learned what true manhood is in all its sweetness and strength. We have learned anew what a Christian gentleman is.

Isttior Tlass

TO all the members of the class of 1906 who saw its illustrious beginning in 1902, or to all those who are able to realize it, to us now it hardly seems possible that the height of our ambitions has been reached, and there is not an '06 man today who does not-believe that our class is the best and most promising class that ever entered Williston. There is always much interest shown towards the Senior class and its action in Williston. It seems to be the pivot around which the other classes revolve. It generally has the best number of members and its representatives are the victors in all interclass contests. And why should it not be so? This class may be called the potential class of the school for it holds in its grasp the makings of three previous years. It is composed of fellows whose past records and abilities have honored the school, it is a good sign and inversely it is a bad sign if it lacks such members.

And how does 1906 conform to these requirements? Her work in the past four years is in itself an assurance. Even now she can boast of twenty-four men who have obtained honors in studies, which averages over half the class. Even in her pee-wee days such men as Mungall and Gregory upheld this responsibilty.

But 1906 was not backward in athletics. In baseball she boasts of Keiber, our staunch twirler; in football O'Neill, Keiber, Knight and Gregory appear; on the track we have Beach, this year's captain, and Knight's fame for the half-mile is not unknown. The Gymnasium too remains well pictured. Jack Harvey is still our star gymnast and helped to place our numerals on the championship flag for the last two years. In fussing we are all stars although Bridgman and Buck are in the lead. It often seems queer that that which we most desire, we generally lose. Even so with our departed members. How we wish for Porter on third base, Whitehead on the track and Hersey in the field. But there is no use crying over spilt milk. We have passed four pleasing and happy years and our records stand on the following pages, only awaiting to be read.

AT the end of the winter term blanks were passed out to the Seniors on which to vote as to the characteristics of the members of the class. These votes have been collected and counted and tabulated and the results appear on the following pages for the enjoyment of those who got the plums and the contempt of those who got something else.

The men who received the largest totals of votes are W. E. Clauson, L. V. Adams, Harvey, Keiber and Beardsley, so it may be presumed that these are the most distinguished men of the class, although many other votes that helped to swell these totals might not be considered a distinction by those receiving them. The favorite amusements are many and include fussing, cutting, basking and watching others work. 1906 is able to continue the greatest of all studies Feminology, and our class is especially trained in it. Some are even now taking a post graduate course in this only, and a few others are thinking of doing the same next year.

The College preferences stand as follows; Amherst 8, Dartmouth 5, Cornell 5, Yale 5, Harvard 14, Brown 3, Williams 2, Syracuse 1, Princeton 1, Hamilton t, Vermont t, M. I. T., Rensselaer Polytechnic and University of Pennsylvania each t.

The average age is 191 years; the oldest man in the class is Lyman, 31 years, and for the youngest there is a tie between Baldwin and Gildersleeve, each being x6 years.

O'HIS beautiful statue was foundMay 8, 1877, in the Temple of Hera at Olympia, lying in front of its pedestal. Hermes is taking the new-born Dionysus to the Nympha to be reared by them. Pausing on his way he has thrown his mantle over a convenient tree-trunk,and leans upon it with the arm that holds the child. In his closed left hand he probably carried his herald's wand: the lost right hand must have held some object—perhaps a bunch of grapes—for the entertainment of the little god. The figure of Hermes is modeled with faultless skill. It was found by a German archaeological expedition and the original is preserved in the Museum at Olympia. It represents the best work of the famous sculptor Praxiteles.

Too much praise cannot be written about the victories and achievemets of the Class of Naughty Seven. Probably no Middle Class in the history of old Williston has had a more successful past or a brighter future. As usual, it exceeds the other classes in numbers, but contrary to tradition, holds together firmly, and possesses a do or die spirit which is bound to win.

If a detailed account of the deeds and gladiators of the class were given, it would be necessary to enlarge the Log, so a short sketch must suffice with the prospect of all the space desired when we are "haughty seniors."

In the Fall meet, 1907 carried off all the honors and won easily. At basketball, the class again vanquished her rivals and finished the series without a defeat. Although she didn't win the Gym. meet,'07 was .a prime factor and was inferior to the Seniors only. The prospects at baseball are equally good and a strong team will undoubtedly be put in the field.

On the grid iron, we are represented by Bob Crowell, the varsity captain; "Smiles" Scully steers the basketball team to victory; and "Punk" Taylor leads the nine. "Cotton-top" Connery and "Runty" Norris are our representatives on track and in the gym. 51

At fussing "Tookey" Tobey is taking first honors closely followed by "the Starr from "I'rinity." "Hot-air" Sherman has all others "stopped at the art of talking", while "Georgitts Marcus Cassius" Hubbard is the "shark-phenom." Last but not least is Waldron, class "roughhouser," and Wasey, the man with the "heavy heavy" voice.

With all the above deeds and "doers", pray, how can the class of 1906 feel any regret or fear in leaving the position of Senior Class in such worthy hands? Nothing but success is assured for next year, and without a doubt, the class of 1907 will go out in a blaze of glory, deceased but not forgotten.

Blunter Minh: CLASS YELL.

On the jump, On the jump; Never late ;

We are the class of Aughty-eight.

iii()NG will the day be remembered and recorded in the annals of great events when the class of 'o8 dawned on this world. Proud was our Alma Mater, when it gladdened her sight, and well might she exult over its advent. Never before, with the excertion of our noble senior class 'o6, was there gathered in a class such a combination of brain and brawn, bulk or wind, never such a g.tlaxy of bright and shining lights as assembled under the standard of 'o8. Born warriors with hearts of oak, and heads of the same, they have never lost a battle—with perhaps an occasional exception. In contests of brain and brawn, never was the equal of 'o8 known.

But we must say right here that much of our success is due to the watching eye and helping hand of our beloved seniors, the class of 'o6. Whenever there was any rushing to be done, 'o6 and 'o8 were always very much in evidence.

In our own class, we have many men of name and fame, including, "Bob" Dasey, the "Delaware Peach", who was the first president that 'o8 ever boasted of, and who has also tried to keep up the name of his class in athletics and social life. "Billy" Weston and "Foot" Rue11 are without doubt our best athletes, while many others, including "Fat" Giffard, the "Mellin's Food Baby", Gibson, McKay, Turtier and several others are well worthy of mention. "Mort" Burdick and Shackley represented us on the quartette, Cobby and Lacore are having a close race for class mascot.

Our class baseball team was a "corker", much credit be given to "Bones" I.yding and "l'alkative" Funston, for their noble service of serving as foul flags. Ossa is the acknowledged leader of the Panama Colony, which includes "Aggie" Ardila, his room-mate, and several others who are not yet tamed.

Such then is the character of this illustrious class, exalted, pure and noble ; with a high ideal, a bro td and generous view; indifferent to the petty storms and struggles of life, and above those who would enviously detract from her fair fame.; equally incapable of a base thought or a simple deduction ; for her character contains in itself both the assurance for past great achievements and the prophecy of high attainments to come, in the maturer age of seniorhood.

EN years ago the F. C. Fraternity presented to the two debating societies, Adelphi and Gamma Sigma, a silver loving cup as a Trophy. By the conditions of the gift, it was to become the property of the society first winning it five times. Gamma Sigma won it for the first two years and then after a single victory for Adelphi, regained it for two more. But since then the Adelphi debaters have won it each year and in 1905 it became theirs permanently.

This year a second cup was presented by the F. C. Fraternity and the struggle began anew. On march 16th occurred the first contest.'

Instead of holding the debate, as before, in the Seminary Chapel, it was held in the Chapel of Payson Church where a much larger audience could be accommodated. Full dress was in order and helped greatly to dignify the event. Adelphi carried off the honors although the debate was very close and equal.

Our best wishes are extended in future years to both societies. May the same spirit of friendly rivalry continue and the best men win.

Tip illiston Cub at Vali%

THE spirit between Yale and Williston seems to be growing stronger every year. This year the Williston Club is larger than perhaps ever before. The advantages of a Williston Club to a Williston man entering college are many—he does not enter as a stranger in a strange land, but instead, he meets many friends, who are friends indeed; there is no formality nor test—he is a Williston man and that is enough. It is a great aid and satisfaction to this man to have immediately met and made friends of thirty-five men in college who are willing to assist and advise him concerning the many new conditions that have been cast about him. Thus with the aid of his many new friends who are men of prominence and ability in their respective departments, he is first given the start and then the stimulus to maintain the record that all Williston men have hitherto held at Yale.

For some fifty years the Williston Club has been in existence at Yale; sometimes it has been forgotton, but it has always remained loyal to "old Williston" and followed out its purpose; and besides this, it has succeeded in furthering the spirit of the school, especially interclass, by furnishing every year the medals for the Indoor Gymnasium Meet, for which the school is especially thankful.

Williston men though few in number are found in almost every branch of university interest, and in their different departments the Williston men are not behind the standard set in previous years. We find them in the College; Sheffield; Law School; Medical School; and in athletics to some degree; in Phi Beta Kappa; in dramatics; in literary work of the highest merit; in musical pursuits; in various University, Junior and Senior fraternities.

The Williston Club meets three or four times a year to bring the Williston men from their various fields together, to promote their fellowship and to make them feel again the spirit peculiar to Williston.

illOtan Cub at AmIlmt

THE Williston Club at Amherst is in a most flourishing condition this year, the membership is as large as ever, and the men are striving to uphold the record of the former representatives of the "old school," and are succeeding in a satisfactory way.

Amherst College in the past, has always been closely affiliated with Williston, the feeling being fostered largely by the nearness of the situation of the two institutions, and the spirit is being maintained by the active members of the club, as one may have noticed that hardly a month or perhaps a fortnight passes, but what some Williston man at Amherst does not drop back to visit the school and renew old acquaintances.

In accordance with its constant policy to actively promote the welfare of Old Williston to the utmost of its ability by selecting the objects of greatest need and contributing to them, the club has offered a cup for the best individual speaking at the joint debate of Gamma Sigma and Adelphi, and on the athletic side of the school for the past two years the medals for the fall athletic meet have been presented by the Club.

May the Williston men in large numbers continue to choose Amherst as their college and help to keep up the interest with their first Alma Mater and also to ma,ntain the reputation that the Williston men in former years have held throughout the college.

ONE of the younger Williston Clubs is the Club at Williams. The connections and spirit with this college have been varied; years ago there were many Williston men at Williams, then came a wane and Williston was hardly known at Williams. But now the Williston Club is flourishing and it is hoped that in the future Williston will be represented by a larger number than heretofore.

The Williston men wherever they go always acquire high attainments in college, some are athletic genii, others are talented in the scholarly pursuits and almost all receive divers honorable offices and appointments, and Williams has her share of the smart men who graduate from Williston.

(HE Williston Athletic Association was organized in 1890 and in that year the Constitution and By-Laws of the Association were adopted. These remained in force until the year 1904. On the 2 I st of November, 1904, an important amendment prepared by the Principal, Joseph H. Sawyer, Edward F. Jefferson, 1905, and Frederick H. MacRobert, 1905, a committee especially appointed for the purpose, was adopted by the school. This amendment providing for the selection of an Athletic Advisory Committee and conferring ui on them large and important powers, annulled so large a part of the existing Constitution that it became necessary to submit a new draft of the Constitution and By-Laws for the approval of the school. At a school meeting held April, 1905, this new constitution was adopted. The athletic interests of the school have been conducted in the manner prescribed by the Revised Constitution during the last two years. Under the new regime subscriptions for the support of the several athletic teams have considerably increased, unusually competent and energetic men have been chosen as managers, every captain has been able to report more victories than before, and every manager has been able to hand over to the treasurer a substantial balance after all the season's bills were paid. It is the universal feeling that Williston athletics were never more wisely directed than they are to.day and that the outlook for the future was never more promising.

(ONCE more Williston put upon the field a football team which is capable of holding its own and which leaves a record behind that testifies to their great ability. In spite of the great doubt which the student body had as to the prospects for a team, a good aggregation of men responded to the call for players, out of which, coach Biram developed an e'even that brought glory upon the old school, although encountering many difficulties. Only a few of last year's team returned to take part in the game but these men set the example for the new men by showing their loyalty to the school and their determination of winning. A wholly new back field had to be supplied from the new men and competent players took the vacant positions with the best of results.

Now let us look over the records of some of the contests which were waged and which aroused the spirit of every true Williston man. 'The first game, one of vim and excitement, was played with the Holyoke Consolidated team and from this time on doubtful minds were assured of the bright outlook of the future. The team next went to Williamstown where they fought the struggle of a life-time and were defeated at the hands of the strong varsity players. Again the team went away from home and were again overwhelmed in size and training but never until the note of the referee's whistle fell upon the ears of the team did they give up hope nor lose courage. They fought with their entire strength but the strong, sturdy men of the Springfield Training School were more than our equals and all our efforts were in vain. At Andover, the team met its "Waterloo", for here it was that several of our best men were injured, some for the remainder of the season and some for only a few games but it may well be added that in clean tactics, Williston was far superior.

From now on the team seemed to take on new life and victories followed over Vermont Academy, Easthampton A. A., Williamstown High and last and most important of all over Worcester Academy. Here it was that confident of victory, our rivals yielded the laurels and went down to defeat.

Special attention should be given to each individual but space will not allow it, so let it suffice fo state that each man played the game for all that was in him. Thus was carried out the strong schedule arranged by manager Beardsley and the annals of Williston athletics will have recorded the season of 1906 as a success throughout.

®NCE again Williston has turned out a basketball team of championship calibre. The team which represented the "gold and blue" during the past season was in no way inferior to the teams that have established in the past an enviable and enduring reputation for Williston in this branch of athletics. It is remarkable that a preparatory school should be able to have every year a team that admits of no superiors among the school and college teams of the country. But Williston's record of games for the last few years attests the fact and college teams are beginning to hesitate to play us.

It can be truly said that the basketball season of 1905-6 was a complete success. The team under the able direction of Captain Scully played a fast and winning game. Eleven of the fourteen games played resulted in victories for Williston. This record is remarkable when the fact is taken into consideration that in two of the most important games two of the star players, Connell and Johnson, were on the bench because of injuries. Worcester "l'ech", Tufts, Rensselaer, Cushing and Yale second are some of the teams that were defeated by overwhelming scores. The one hundred and fourteen points scored against Pittsfield High is perhaps the largest score ever run up by a Williston five. The only Games that were lost were those with Williams and the Easthampton A. A. Against the former, Williston was compelled to send a crippled team,and then was defeated only in the last few minutes of play. In all the team scored 476 points to its opponents 200.

All results must have causes. Our successful season is due to the faithful work of certain men. Without question Captain Scully was the man for the place,—a natural leader. He himself played a consistent and brilliant game and his men followed his example. No matter how the tide of battle might be running "Jim's" smiling and hopeful face could be seen. Williston has been fortunate in the last few years in having managers for her teams of thorough business ability and natural tact. Manager Clauson has more than met all these requirements and has run the team in a very capable manner. Besides arranging a first class schelule he has so conducted the finances management, that at the end of the season he was able to hand over to the Athletic Association a handsome balance.

We feel that it is necessary to speak also of the character of the play of the team. Every one of the school or college games were clean, gentlemanly and sportsmanlike, and the conduct of our players was all that could be desired.

It seems like "singing the old old story" to review each year the basketball season, for it is always a repetition of the one word, victory• Williston is proud of an organization that reflects so much credit upon the old school. She is proud of a team that yearly plants the banner of victory aloft among those of other schools. We trust that the same deitiny that has turned out championship teams in the past for the "gold and blue" will not tire of well doing, but will continue to do so into the far distant future.

RACK has always held quite a prominent place in the athletics of Williston and our teams have won glory for the Gold and Blue in a great many meets, particularly at the Yale and Dartmouth interscholastics.

Although we have not participated in the Yale games for the past two years teams have been sent to Dartmouth where they have brought great credit upon the school. Three years ago only four men from Williston journeyed to Hanover, but this small number easily scored second place, while a year later a larger team took first place with a total of sixtrsix points, beating the closest rival by nearly fifty points.

Last year fortune was against the school, allotting us as two years before only the second place. But no great discredit should be placed on the team for this reason, as there were more schools entered than in any previous year, which necessarily raised the standards of the various events. But even though last year, under the leadership of Captain Johnson,the team was unfortunate it may be well to add that no recolds made by Williston men were broken, which cannot be said of the other schools. Also it may be said that Williston holds the greatest number of records at Dartmouth.

So if the teams in the future will strive to maintain as high a standard of excellence as the ones in the past no one need fear but that Williston will be well represented in this class of athletics whereever she may chance to go.

T is the happy lot of the 1906 "Log Board", to write the history of the most successful baseball team that has ever represented Williston upon the diamond,—a team that combined wonderful athletic ability with gentlemanly behavior and a high standard in all the activities of school life. It would be sufficient to show what an unusual nine it was, merely to present its record of sixteen victories and two defeats. But even then an adequate idea would not he given of Captain Scully's team. Unfortunately the impression that the athletic teams are simply playing m whines, constructed and intended to win at all hazards, has infected our schools and colleges.

The value of the exercise and the pleasure of engaging in gentlemanly sports seems to be entirely ignored. But all the players that wore Williston uniforms last spring were first of all gentlemen, and baseball players afterwards. The games were without exception clean exhibitions of our national game, yet at the same time resplendent with brilliant playing. The players were the representative men of the school and leaders in all her intellectual activities. Nearly all were honor men and many were winners of prizes, and Willistonian editors.

A large measure of the team's success was without question due to the efforts of coach Calland. His quiet and systematic coaching brought out the very best that there was in each man. Very early in the season many were pessimistic as to the outlook in baseball. But our players showed in the very first game that it had few superiors among either school or college nines, by defeating the strong Amherst College team by a sc,)re of two to one. 'rhen followed victories over the Easthampton Athletics, Springfield Training School, Colby and Holy Cross Second. On June first, in a ninth inning victory, the redoubtable Harvard Second team met defeat. The year closed with the Williams and Dean games, the two most important games of the season. Williams was easily defeated on her own diamond with her star pitcher Westervelt in the box, and Dean's colors were lowered at Franklin after a closely contested game. This brief sketch of so remarkable a team would be incomplete without mentioning some of the star players. Paine and Keiber, pitchers; limmond, cttcher ; Captain Scully, short-stop, and Morrissey at first were men that it will be hard to duplicate. The baseball team of 1905 will always hold a prominent place in the athletic annals of Williston, and be a model for future nines to imitate.

May her foster children ever Loyal service yield to Thee, Minding still her ancient watchword, Christo et Ecclesiae. That where'er our warfare lead us, Though the battle bear us down, And we win no wreath of laurel, Hers may be the victor's crown.

( . 0F the two literary or debating societies in Williston, Adelphi is the older, having been permanently organized in the year 1853. Although the membership this year is not as large as in former years it has not by this reason lost its prestige, for this year Adelphi won the first debate on the new trophy cup kindly presented for competition by the F. C. fraternity, after having secured last year the permanent possession of the former F. C. cup after the same had been competed for by Adelphi and Gamma Sigma for nine years. This year through the generosity of its alumni and from their savings and a concert given by the Amherst Glee Club, the proceeds of which were divided between Adelphi and Gamma Sigma, Adelphi secured funds whereby they were able to redecorate and repair their hall; the changes which were made were to tint the walls a greenish color and to lay a hard wood floor along with several other minor changes so that the old hall has assumed a new and gratifying apyearance. x o6

THE Gamma Sigma Society, the youngest of the two debating organizations in school, was founded in 1864, and existed for six years as a secret society. In 187o, it was re-organized and the exercises made public; and it has continued thus up to the present time. The membership of Gamma Sigma is restricted to Scientific and Latin Scientific men. One thing of which the seniors especially, and also the under classmen, may be proud, is, that the roll of members this year has considerably outnumbered those of former years, which goes to show that Gamma Sigma is growing in the favor of the student body. This is a very gratifying condition indeed. Yet even now,out of the large number of students eligible for membership in Gamma Sigma, too small a proportion endeavor to affiliate themselves with the society. The Alumni are loud in their praises of the benefits derived from them, and it is to be hoped that the membets of each succeeding class will take advantage of the opportunities offered them in Gamma Sigma and Adrlphi.

3N reviewing the different organizations and interests of Williston special attention should be paid to the WimusToNtaN, the school weekly. For in many ways it is one of the most important features of our school life. It is the chief factor in binding Williston men together into one bond of union wherever they may be; and keeps them in close touch with the Seminary. By means of its columns, the important events of the week are put into a convenient and lasting form, not only for those who are now undergraduates, but likewise for the many alumni all over the world. As the free press of the United States has been of inestimable value in the development and prosperity of this nation,so the WILLISTONIAN has always been inseparably linked with the advancement of the "Gold and Blue."

The WILLIsToNtaN can point out with pride to twenty-five years of continued existence, being in reality a pioneer in school journalism, being almost the first'school or college paper to appear weekly. During this quarter-century of its existence, the WILLISTONTAN has maintained a high standard of literary and business merit. Few ate the school or college weeklies that give more space to literary and athletic matter or whose columns surpass it in the quality of composition. Ibis excellence has been brought about by the able men who have composed the managing boards. This is the most important thing of all, and special care should be taken in the future, as there has been in the past, to entrust the paper into the hands of those eminently fitted to direct it.

To even partly enumerate the great source of benefit the WtLLISTONIAN has been to the Seminary seems to be impossible. The editors have a rare chance to perfect themselves in English composition by constant practice and to prepare for broader fields of activity. The business mana;ers are ai)le to secure valuable experience in business methods. And again by mans of the editorial and correspondence departments, the paper can do incalculable good by being ever ready to direct the school to the wisest and best policies. Right here is the fundamental value of a school journal; it should be a pilot, as it were, to guide the student body past the reefs and shoals of complex school life into the safe channel of right.

The WiLtisToNtAN will in all probability celebrate its twenty-fifth annivers.try this spring and it should be a memorable occasion,an epoch in the history of Williston. During these twenty-five years, our school paper has been an honor to the school it represents. But will it be in the future? This is the question that you who are to labor here after we are gone must answer. You have an important and sacred trust placed in our keeping, the care of the WILLISTONIAN. You should strive in every w ty to so run the piper that at the semi-centennial the same words of commendation can be placed upon it as now. This can only be accomplished by every Williston man loyally supporting it and doing all in his power to advance its interests. Fo? in so doing, you will bring everlasting credit upon old \Villiston.

HILE other departments of the school life have made rapid progress along different lines, the Young Men's Christian Association has not been idle. This Association was founded in 1880, and ever since has been an active agent in joining the student body in a closer bond of friendship and brotherly love. Its purpose is to offer to the young men an opportunity for developing their moral nature and for broadening the Christian life of the school. We can truly say the past year has been a successful one, and the men who have labored so faithfully feel fully repaid. The Sunday night meetings have been addressed by members of the school and faculty; also by able speakers from several of the leading schools and colleges. The Bible Study Class has held its weekly meetings on Thursday evenings and the interest has surpassed that of all preceding years. The class from week to week continues a systematic study of the life of Christ and thus has a noble pattern placed before it as an idea. At the close of the winter term, a new set of officers were chosen and knowing these men to be competent and men who have the work at heart, we believe the year 1906-1907 will be fully as successful as the one just passed.

AS the Glee Club began rehearsals rather late this year, dismal failure was predicted to be in store for the Williston Musical Association, and when the annual concert billed for March ninth was omitte I certain pessimistic individuals muttered "I told you so". But althoug hit seemed that things were standing stock still, both the Glee and Banjo, Clubs were gathering regularly and working hard, the former under the able direction of Professor Innis, who so kindly gave up his time for this good purpose, and the latter under the leadership of H. 0. Bigney. And when on March twenty-third at the Prize-Speaking held in Payson Church each club rendered several well chosen selections, in a manner worthy of much more trained organizations, people opened their eyes.

To Professor Innis is due in a large measure the success of the Glee Club. His untiring efforts inspired the boys and they worked with a hearty good will that made snccess inevitable. We hope that the Club may have the benefit of Professor Innis' direction again next year. Manager Wilson also deserves much praise for he filled his office in an irreproachable manner. The Banjo Club has a first-rate leader in the person of H. 0. Bigney who labored unceasingly to perfect the instrumental pieces which were a pleasant surprise to every one who had 5

the privilege of hearing them. On Atarch sixteenth at the AdelphiGamma Sigma Joint Debate the Williston Quartette sang. Although they had had but few rehearsals they acquitted themselves in a highly credituble manner, and the appreciation of the audience was well shown by the vigorous hand-clapping with which the quartette was greeted.

Taken altogether the Musical Association has done remarkably well this year and is hereby heartily complimented for its stick-to-itiveness and perseverance which in the end made possible, if not a concert, enough of one to gain the merited applause of all.

Prom was ever held which was not enthustically pronounced "the best that Williston has seen"; and doubtless no one who holds in memory the festivities of any twenty-first of February since '99, will wish to stint his praises, or concede to any other social event a higher place; but with all due regard for the efforts of previous classes, we fail to see how any dance could pass more pleasantly than did the Prom of Nineteen Hundred and Six. The dingy old Town Hall, of strenuous basketball memories, was transformed into a thing of actual beauty. Festoons of white and yellow bunting radiated from the center of the ceiling, relieved by the brighter flags of past classes, and by the broad banner of 'o6 ; while bands of the same material covered the walls, hiding the ancient stains and battle-scars. In the four corners of the room were the booths of the fraternities; opposite each other, on the T9

ROBA BLY no

center of the side walls, were the booths of the patronesses, of a party of townspeople and of the faculty ; all resplendent with couches, pillows, banners and cheesecloth, making rich spots of color at regular intervals in the more plainly covered walls. Altogether the hall appeared strikingly beautiful.

Dancing conditions were perfect; the floor smooth,the music strong and regular. There was no hitch in the proceedings florin first to last, a fact which testifies to the painstaking efforts of the committee and of Prof. Buffum. The grand march started at nine o'clock, led by C. E. P. Whitehead and Miss Janes of Easthampton, followed by the other members of the committee with their partners, and them by a lcng line of over seventy couples.

Dancing continued until twelve-thirty A. M., when Boyden served a luncheon, after which there was dancing again until three o'clock in the morning. Wise heads might protest; but few were so blase or so mindful of their health, as to leave before the List note of the last dance fell on unwilling ears. •

For after all the Prom is the great event of the year. Fair women and supposedly brave men appear in all their glory. School may keep all the rest of the year; we may grind and grub and wear our sweaters; but at least on the twenty-first of February, the Seminary shows what it can do in the way of a beautiful and thoroughly enjoyable, though formal, social function; and then such a Promenade as that of Nineteen Hundred and Six is the result.

THAT-men-et wiscLom,..as well as education, should fill the chairs of Greek, Latin and Science, is a matter of major importance to an institution of this magnitude, and one to which most painstaking care has ever been paid.

There is, however, another realm of activity in our school, of equal significance, the very smoothness of whose running so obscures its existence, that it rarely claims our attention. It is the management of our outward wheels of progress, and finds in its exponent Charles C. Upson, Superintendent of Buildings. The duties which othe under the supervision of this office are legion, and include all the appeals from the distribution of extra blankets for zero weather, to the protection of a time and spot for the Worcester conflagration. And that this constant demand from two hundred boys, most of whom for the first time have let loose of a fond mother's apron strings, is a slight one, no one of experience would presume. For more than twenty years Mr. Upson has so admirably filled this position, which constantly demands tact and patience to the superlative, that all who have come under his generous offices have known him but to love him.

Nor is his influence confined to these official duties. He has served his town as selectman, water commissioner and in pther useful capacities; while in 1898 he was elected to reptesent his district in the legislature by a big majority.

In politics, in his relations with the Seminary and in private life, he enjoys the respect of all, and the friendship of many, because of his numerous upright and gentle attributes.

Tlatig of 1.896

AFTER ten years which ofthe events in the life of the class of '96 shall vie write about? '96 did a great many things during the four years of its course; it did a great many things which no one outside of the class knew very muCh about; it did some things certain official persons outside of the class desired to find out about; it won't do to tell about those though. No member of the class was ever able to find out just how far the power of a vote in faculty meeting would reach. Some of us found certain definite points to which those votes would reach but there was always a vague indefiniteness beyond which we were never quite certain about and it won't do to be venturesome now when we are being held up as mobels,-( I suppose we are-classes in the 'So used to be to us,s-to the naughty classes.

Realy we weren't so very bad, nor so very good either. Probably about an average class. We added our share to the drawings pinned up in the drawing room and we contributed, perhaps more than our alottment, to the cares of Pop Elliot. Tibby had some one in our class who reminded him of a lump of dough stuck upon the wall and we retaliated by having a man who left his problems at home on the piano. We found the usual amount of fault with Giffoid and "the Hash" and tried to do away with food to the value of $3.5o rer week. We always showed up at Tibby's class exercise and cut his algebra if we dared. We divided, from a safe distance, the '95 class flag, and a year later flaunted our silken banner in the eyes of '97. In most respects, looked at calmly and dispassionately after the expiration o' ten years, we were just about an average class but in two or three respects we were far and away ahead of any class that ever had been or ever will be. ,First, in our personnel. We had Gum, A. T. Gum of Frankford, Delaware than whom there lived no greater ever. We had Alkali Hodges; we had Beaker Brown; we had Gridley and his Monte Carlo; we had Austin Hewitt Murray, the silver tongued orator of "the Hash"; we had McDuff, for a while; Christopher Howes; and I think vke had Vanderhoff,—if we didn't, we ought to. He realy belonged in our aggregation.

Second. Our surveying was miraculous. The exactness with which we all arrived at the same conclusion. Usually this conclusion was reached after consulting certain magical writings in the inner chamber of Monte Carlo. Verily that class in surveying had but a single mind, but a single purpose true. How else could the whole class find itself at Brookside cemetery when Pop and the instruments had gone to Watson Wright's lot? And how gracious Pop was when Bill Day and Big Wheat presented him with a mess of suckers snared in the brook in this same Wright lot.

German. Some of us didn't seem especially adapted to the study of Latin. Dead languages were not for us. We wanted Civil Government, something of some practical value. But Civil Government used to be short-lived and was followed by German, or by French, which was worse. What a gratification it was to us,one particularly lazy afternoon in June to find a notice on the bulletin board that Prof. Bruce would be unable to meet the class that afternoon and how very unusual that the whole class should happen to be early that day, read the notice and get back to hard study before it was time for Bruce to get up as far as the library.

The editor has fired me. Thus was it ever.

/Knacks

EACH year it has been the custom to place an anonymous box in the corridor of South Hall, in order that those who wish to knock their friends may do so without being detected.

The Board of 1906 wishes to emphasize the fact that all personal knocks which follow have passed before their eyes and have been accepted.
