Foreword

HERE have been Logs, there are Logs, and there probably will be Logs, but for the members of the Class of 1924 this will always be THE LOG, for this is our book, the product of our minds, the offspring of our endeavors.

We shall only .say that we have endeavored to fulfill the purpose for which the custom of issuing the Log was inaugurated, namely, to make a faithful representation of the life in our Williston as we see it. The product of our unflagging effort is finished. To your judgment we resign it. We joyed in the battle for its creation, and find a kind of quiet dignity in offering our best. If you find within its pages one word that you deem inspiring, one illustration that reminds you of an amusing incident in your own career, one face that rejoices your memory, one scene that pulls a thread in the skein of delightful reminiscences—our best may be better than we dreamed.

Now the Log is completed. We trust that in future years when we often read it, that it will carry us backward over the trail of time to the happy years that we have lived in close comradeship with one another.

SENIORS

rSeniors

HEN June brings about the closing of the school year, Williston, noted for her men, will graduate another class of seniors, the class of 1924.

Williston ever proudly points to her alumni, nay, rather to her sons who have been guided by her thru the paths of erudition and righteousness. Her sons, however far away, always speak tenderly of their cherished Alma Mater.

We the class of 192-1 will ever hold Williston high in our hearts. Wc pledge that we will strive to our uttermost to make ourselves worthy of thc name "Man," and bring credit to the spirit that has fostered us during our stay at Williston.

Our class has much to be proud of because of the way in which we wholeheartedly entered into every department of the school's activities.

Tn scholarship, in athletics, in various offices, the class of 192-1 is well represented.

The Williston Log 1!)

JAMES HENRY ASTLEY "Jimmie" "Willie Boy"

Holyoke, Mass.

Entered fourth year Scientific. Football (4); Glee Club (4); Adelphi (4); Chairman Prom Committee (4); Phi Rho Alpha.

BROWN

"Appearances are deceitful." This is as true of "Willie Boy" as of anything else that was ever created. Jim claims Holyoke as his home town, which is enough to guarantee that he's quite a man of the world. According to reports he is headed for Brown in the fall, so we will look for "Astley" at one of the ends on the varsity line-up in a brace of years hence. It is beyond our power of recollection to feature Jimmy sans good natured smile and cheery greeting.

MICHAEL JOSEPH BERMANT "Mike" "Mabel"

Rockville, Conn.

Entered third year Scientific. Football (4); Track (3); Manager Basketball (4); Adelphi Honor Man (3, 4); Advisory Board (4); Business Manager "Log" (4); Phi Rho Alpha.

BROWN

Mike is without an equal in the "management" line. He managed this year's basketball team as well as he is now managing the "Log." He is a good student and athlete, and his magnetic personality has drawn many friends to him, ne'er to depart.

ROLAND PAUL BISSON

"Bis"

Springfield, Mass.

Entered fourth year Classical. Baseball (4); Cum Laude.

YALE

We ask you to gaze on the picture of this young man. Here you will see the happy medium. At excellent scholar, and a good athlete. Roland plays right field on the baseball team, rarely ever mising a fly. He explains this by the statement, "When I was a mere babe I greatly enjoyed catching the flies that flew around my cradle." We have no doubt but that Bisson will catch fortune when it comes flying towards him.

"I am a scholar."

ROBERT BURNS "Bob" "Stogy" Easthampton, Mass.

Entered first year Scientific. Dramatic Club (3, 4); Glee Club (1); Adelphi (4); Willistonian Board (1, 3 4); Editor in Chief, Willistonian (4); Student Council (3, 4); "Y" Cabinet (4); Personal Editor "Log" (4); Sigma Eta Delta.

LOWELL TEXTILE SCHOOL

Of course, not the one Carlyle wrote about, but one, who, in our estimation, is about as good. This year Bobbie, taking pity on the rest of the fellows, accepted the honored position of Editor-in-Chief of the Willistonian. If there was anything you liked in the paper, give Bobbie the credit, but if you disliked anything, blame his assistants.

"His whistle was loud and shrill."

CHARLES TREADWELL CAMPBELL "Chas"

Nantucket Island, Mass.

Entered fourth year Classical. Glee Club (4).

WILLIAMS

Campbell was a buck this fall. A very quiet fellow who stayed out of things until winter. Then he stepped out in the Glee Club and at the bridge table you could find Campbell in nearly every bridge game going. Because of his good bridge work, we foretell a successful future either as a civil engineer or as a dentist. Campbell was neither athlete nor bookworm, grinder nor loafer, but liked his easy chair, cigarette and book.

MALCOLM GRAY DADE

"Mac"

New Bedford, Mass.

Entered third year Scientific. Glee Club (3); Williston Board (3, 4); Associate Editor, Willistonian (4); Adelphi (3, 4); Secretary of Adelphi (3); Worc2ster-Williston Debating. Team (3); Class Ring Committee (4).

U. OF P.

"As Roosevelt said"—"Mac," a great admirer of Roosevelt, possesses many of his qualities. He has the great virtue of "stick-to-it-ism." I believe Mac will be a chicken raiser, for he's practicing now by getting up every morning at five, just the time the chickens begin to look around for their caterer. Many times we have run•to a room thinking a gang fight was on, only to find Malcolm proving Roosevelt the greatest man in history.

"Be sure you're right, then go ahead."

JOHN DELANEY, JR. "Rip"

Holyoke, Mass.

Entered fourth year Scientific. Iota Zeta.

YALE SHEFFIELD

"Rip," the Demon Commuter! Arrived on the eight something and departed on the five-thirty-one. Always on time. To be sure,"Rip" fulfils every professor's desire as to what the perfect student should be. Without a doubt.

Want to try something hard? Imagine, or rather try to imagine,"Rip" Delaney actually worried over anything. "Rip" is quite a reliever. Ask "Ad" Smith. "Rip," in spite of his happy-go-lucky nature, has success in store for him, due to his personality.

ORRIN BERNARD DUNTON

Easthampton, Mass.

Entered first year Scientific. Adelphi (1); Glee Club (3, 4).

Dunton was a model of taciturnity. We cannot recollect Dunton's speaking unless it was absolutely necessary. Although he was not a participant in all campus activities, he nevertheless displayed keen interest in them, evincing true school spirit rather than the kind that will back only a winning team. His deep voice made the Glee Club for him for two years.

Williston Log

FREDERIC STEWART EGGLESTON "Eggie"

Hingham, Mass.

Entered fourth year Scientific. Hockey (4); Class Gift Committee (4); Phi Rho Alpha.

U. OF P.

"Fred" is the long, lean boy who thinks that Smith is the logical place to spend Saturday evenings. We all agree that in this respect "Fred" shows great wisdom.

He was a valuable defense man on the hockey team and helped to put one or two of the games "on ice" for Williston.

DERNELL EVERY

Athens, N. Y.

Entered fourth year Classical. Dramatic Club (4); Adelphi (4); Willistonian Board (4); Art Editor, "Log" (4); Iota Zeta.

YALE

"Dern" is another home town product. He believes in the motto, "Silence is Golden," until his sense of humor springs, or causes to be sprung, one of his irresponsible wise-cracks. Yale is his chosen Alma Mater and from the stuff he has shown in tennis so far, we expect to see him some day sporting a varsity "Y," and perhaps later, even captain of an undefeated team.

ROBERT KNOX FOSTER "Ribs"

Montclair, N. J.

Entered third year Scientific. Foolball (3, 4); Hockey (3, 4); Captain Hockey (4); President "Y" (4); Vice President Senior Class (4); Student Council (3, 4); Secretary Student Council (4); WorcesterWilliston Debate (4); Representative, N. Y. Alumni Banquet (4); Adelphi (3, 4); F. C.

DARTMOUTH

In September, 1922, "Ribs" came up from Montclair, N. J., looked over the school and decided to take it as his Alma Mater until this year, when he leaves for Dartmouth. You can't keep a good man down, and Foster is an excellent example of this. He has rapidly worked his way to the fore in athletics, scholarship and extra-curricula activities, as well as being one of the most popular boys in school and a real leader.

"Ribs" is a real fellow and never blows his own horn as the rest of us mortals do. He is always there with a smile and a helping hand and a willingness to do anything for anybody. Best o' luck, "Ribs."

LARS THOREAU FROMEN

"Doc"

New Britain, Conn.

Entered third year Classical. Hockey (4); Soccer (4); Captain of Soccer (4); Glee Club (3); Adelphi (3, 4); Quartet (3); Advisory Board (4); Prom Committee (4); Iota Zeta.

DARTMOUTH

"Doc" is one boy who was rightfully nick-named by his pals. He is thinking very seriously of medicine as a profession, and already is deriving more pleasure from carving hamburger than does the average person. He was a member of the soccer team, which shows that he can use his head and was goal-guard on the hockey team, which demonstrated the fact that he isn't bow-legged. "Doc" is sure to succeed anywhere except in a town of Christian Scientists.

LESTER WILLIAMSON GALLUP

"Les"

Woodstock, Conn.

Entered fourth year Scientific. Soccer (4); Basketball (4); Dramatic Club (4); Orchestra (4); Class Flag Committee (4).

WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE

Lester is the pride of Prof. Tibbets. He is going to bring home the bacon when he takes the C. B. exams he didn't expect to face. Lester's one fault is that he "blows his own horn" too much, but since this is necessary for the weal of the orchestra we can forgive him.

VALENTIN GARCIA

"Vata"

Tezentlan, Puebla, Mexico

Entered second year Scientific.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA

"Vata," quiet and reserved, yet as competent as the next, will long remain in the mornories of many as a chap who always extended a helping hand. "Vata" gave every man his due, and kept his well balanced opinions of his schoolmates to himself. Although his activities were few, he was, nevertheless, as loyal to Williston as the busiest of us. We do not know what "Vata" intends to specialize in, but we do know that he is a plugger and will hit the nail on the head if it is humanly possible.

21; The Williston Log

WILLIAM FRANCIS GERAN "Bill"

Holyoke, Mass.

Entered fourth year Scientific. Sigma Eta Delta.

Another Holyoker! "Bill's" home city evidently has quite a hold on him, for thither he hied himself every week-end. "Bill" appears innocent to the casual observer, perhaps, but as to whether he is a holy terror or not, we refer one to Francis Claffey. "Bill" is no wet one, by any means. At least, he hadn't ought to be, for he roomed with Battling Corrigan for a whole year. For "Bill," the taciturn, we foretell success, for "Bill" really is a conscientious chap.

KENNETH BRADSHAW HAMILTON

"Kennie" "Ken"

Holyoke, Mass.

Entered fourth year Scientific. Adelphi (4); Williston-Worcester Debating Team (4); Photograph Committee (4); Phi Rho Alpha.

UNION

"Kennie," as changeable as the New England weather, now the genial good fellow, now the earnest wise counseling big brother, will long be remembered by us all. "Ken" is one of the smoothest talkers the school possessed this year and ought to be a big success should he get into law. His salient characteristic is his conscientiousness. Wise to the ways of the world, he views the opposite sex with the lofty disdain which is born of experience. "Ken" is bound for Union, and, with his attractive personality, he ought to "go big."

NEWTON DEUEL HOLBROOK "Duke"

Thomaston, Conn.

Entered second year Classical. Adelphi (2, 3, 4); Willistonian Board (3, 4); Associate Editor, Willistonian (4); "Y" Cabinet (4); Pi Beta Pi.

HARVARD

"Duke" has been an inmate of Williston for three years and a worthy one, too. He stands high, with his unassuming way, in the estimation of his friends and classmates and although not an athlete, he has served his Alma Mater loyally and well. "Duke" is sure of getting a sheepskin this year, and after that he_ is going home, to Thomaston, Connecticut, to tell the other three inhabitants that he is bound for Harvard in the fall, where we are sure he will make good.

JOHN DALY KERRIGAN

"Kerry"

Lawrence, Mass.

Entered third year Classical. Baseball (3); Iota Zeta.

U. OF P.

"Now I want to tell you"—is a famous saying of John's. The majority of things he wants to tell about are usually worth while listening to. John is a good baseball player, in fact, he once hit a homer. He still boasts of this exploit very proudly. Well, it is nice to have something to boast about, isn't it? Don't misunderstand this, because John is really a good scout, and very popular.

"I could a tale unfold."

JOHN BURT LYMAN "Bill"

Easthampton, Mass.

Entered first year Scientific. Class Gift Committee (4); L. L. D. WORCESTER

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE

Taciturn, yet brimming over with humor, was the serious John. Although he never volunteered the information without being asked, he was a walking diary of the school for the few years preceding our appearance among its halls, which proves that he possessed a deep interest in the school before he became part of it. He was superior to many of us in that he did his work well, yet without grinding. He kept himself at the top all during his stay here, and did so in his usual unobtrusive manner. To know him once was to know him always, for he was as steady as old Mt. Tom. Success in full measure will some (lay be his, provided he continues as he has conducted himself among us.

Granville, N. Y.

Eatered fourth year Classical.

PRINCETON

"I'm a fast man—don't misunderstand me, I mean I can run fast." "Mac" sure can run fast. He shows a clean pair of heels to most of his rivals. Even tho' he comes from a small town, where, when one goes away the population is considerably decreased, he hasn't the manner of a hay-shaker by any means. His smooth flow of talk during recitations is either real knowledge or excellently camouflaged bull.

"I am a well of mysteries."

Williston Log 2f)

WILLIAM

EDWARD MACK "Bill" "Mack" Yonkers, N. Y.

Entered third year Scientific. Soccer (4); Dramatic Club (3, 4); Glee Club (3, 4); Secretary, Gamma Sigma (4); President, Gamma Sigma (4); Willistonian Board (3, 4); Williston-Worcester Debating Team (3);"Y" Cabinet (4); Secretary, Senior Class (4); Editor-in-Chief, "Log" (4); Representative to New York Alumni Banquet (4); Sigma Eta Delta.

SPRINGFIELD

Williston has done "Bill" a world of good. Immediately after his arrival he aspired to be a minister and even taught Sunday School. A year's sojourn in South, however, saved "Bill." Now he will specialize in man's physical rather than his moral betterment, for he enters Springfield in the fall. "Bill" has been identified with almost every campus activity. He is possessed of a pleasing personality, a broad grin, and plenty of the old oil. "Bill" cannot help being successful in his chosen work.

DONALD ROBERT MALLERY

Springfield, Mass.

Entered second year Scientific. Track (3); Soccer (4); Willistonian Board (3); Phi Rho Alpha.

Handsome Don resisted the members of the opposite sex who are wont to adore masculine beauty until his Senior year, and then was gracious enough to yield a trifle. "Bull" was his most popular cognomen, and it fits him and his "basso profundo" voice perfectly. Coach Hance advised "Bull" to go out for track as a Middler, and a first-rate quarter-miler resulted. Don's heart is as big as his constant grin is broad, and as light as the proverbial feather. "Bull," it strikes us, will eventually follow agricultural pursuits.

Williston Log

OSBORN PREBLE NASH "Pep"

Brooklyn, N. Y.

Entered third year Classical. Glee Club (3); Gamma Sigma (3, 4); "Y" Cabinet (4); Asst. Bus. Manager,"Log" (4); Honor Man (3, 4).

HARVARD

In 1922 "Pep" came to Williston from Mattapoisett. But don't judge "Pep" by the place he comes from. He says his home is in New York anyway. "Pep" looks like a very quiet, harmless individual and so he is—at times. But anyone who has seen "Pep" with his ire up knows that he is far from being the meekest boy in the school. "Pep" is a plugger and sticker. When he came to Williston he decided that he would be among the highest in his class. For two years he has tugged and plugged and now he is numbered among that select five at the top of the Senior class. As a true friend and loyal rooter, no better can be found than "Pep." We all hope and expect to hear of big things from Nash.

CURTIS HEATH ONTHANK

Fitchburg, Mass.

Entered fourth year Classical. Class Flag Committee (4); F. C. YALE

"Curt," after a varied school course, finally picked out Williston as the proper place from which to graduate. He hasn't been with us long enough for everyone to appreciate his fine qualities, as he is a rather quiet fellow and rather woman-shy. But despite his quietness, he is well-liked by all and is more than respected for the mean way he plays his hand of bridge. So we will wish "Curt" the best in everything at Yale this fall.

DONALD THOMAS O'NEILL "Don"

Easthampton, Mass.

Entered first year Classical. Adelphi (1, 2, 3, 4).

Easthampton wonders whether "Don" is a student at, or is running Williston. He evidently must sit up all hours of the night studying, because invariably he strolls into Latin twenty minutes too early for chapel. Then he gazes around with an arrogant look as if challenging the statues of Cicero and Vergil to enter into a translating contest with him. Donald is a very original chap; in order to show this fact he combs his hair differently from everyone else.

"Veni, vidi, vici."

Troy, N. Y.

Entered fourth year Classical. Class Ring Committee (4); F. C.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA

Here you are, girls, just what you have been looking for, Otto B. Hall, commonly known as "Fritz." from Troy, New York. But while "Fritz" is certainly not woman-shy, he knows enough not to fall too hard, and, therefore, as our worthy faculty decrees, keeps his studies in first place. "Fritz" is a popular fellow and one of the hardest workers of the "Bucks." and it is too bad that Williston will lose him this year. However, wherever "Fritz" goes this fall, we know that due to his stick-to-it-iveness, he is due for success.

FRANK ANTHONY RANWATS "Rajah"

Reading, Penn.

Entered fourth year Scientific. Iota Zeta.

CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

"Ranny" enjoys life much more than you or I. As assistant ambulance driver, he has seen that life is hard. Coming from the home of Luden's Coughdrops, he realizes that our civilization is a sickly one. Nevertheless he laughs and when he laughs, everyone else follows suit. It is contagious. "Ranny" can be serious at times and then you admire him more than ever. His personality will win him success, but as "Gallagher and Ranwats" he would be the hit of the era.

RICHARD PHILIP REIMANN "Dick"

Sag Harbor, N. Y.

Entered third year Scientific. Soccer (4); Basketball (4); Dramatic Club (3); Glee Club (3); Adelphi (3, 4); Willistonian Board (4); Student Council (4); President of Adelphi (4); Prom Committee (4); L. L. D.

ALBANY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY

Now,folks, just look at my picture. I'm not a bad looking chap at all, am I? But then looks aren't everything, I'll admit. I played soccer during the fall term; yep; and I made my letter too. In the winter term I played basketball. With all due modesty I'll quote the words of others about my ability as a basketball player. I've either got the ability or rather good luck to make more baskets than anyone else, or I have an eagle eye; I prefer to think the latter.

"Tall and slender as the poplar."

Williston Log

SIDNEY WRIGHT RUSSELL

"Syd"

Easthampton, Mass.

Entered third year Scientific. Basketball Class Ring Committee; Phi Rho Alpha.

(3);

MASS. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY

"Sid," as he is known about school, is a very popular fellow among the student body. Basketball is his favorite sport but due to some unknown (?) reason he was unable to play regularly this last season. But "Sid" is not going to follow up basketball. The truth is he is going to become a druggist and fill many prescriptions.

"Phil"

Springfield, Mass.

Entered fourth year Classical. Basketball (4); Captain of Basketball (4); Soccer (4); Student Council (4); Prom Committee (4); Sigma Eta Delta; Adelphi.

YALE

"Phil" was a stranger here last fall, but we were immediately taken by his openness his serious turn of mind,and his hearty good fellowship. He proved a competent and formidable leader for the basketball quintet, and was no mean factor in its good record. He further distinguished himself as an athlete at goal on the soccer eleven.

"Phil," by the way, was quite the bridge shark, and sat in at nearly every game played by the South Hall bridge fiends.

We respect him in that, during argument he said little, but when he did speak, his opinions were worth listening to. His seriousness and deliberation guarantee him success.

The Williston Log

JOHN AENIS SEIDEL "Jack"

Cleveland, 0.

Entered fourth year.

AMHERST

Seidel, outcast son of Sabrina, at Williston for the purpose of accumulating, or rather re-accumulating sufficient of this knowledge that he might return to her shrine, was well liked by all of us immediately because of his care-free good nature and general rough-housing disposition. Throughout the spring term he was wedded to a pair of gob's trou, thus placing himself under suspicion as a reader of similar books to "Ralph Osborn at Annapolis," etc.

New York City

Entered third year Scientific. Business Manager Willistonian (4). BROWN

Waldo paid the penalty of appreciating the finer things of life by being temperamental. Nevertheless. he was indeed a likeable chap, and probably one of the widest read seniors. Likewise one of the most conscientious.

On the gridiron only "Wally's" lack of heft kept him off the varsity, and during the last term of his stay at Williston he developed into a dependable second sacker.

As "Wally" is of the aggressive type, a "go-getter," we concede him success.

KENNETH HODGE SOMERVILLE "Ken"

Amsterdam, N. Y.

Entered fourth year Scientific. Iota Zeta. SPRINGFIELD

Every class has to have one of those animals called "Shieks." "Ken" started with us late in the year. Before that time the beau brummel niche of the class was vacant. We had our doubts about "Ken" filling it, but after he told us that he was the "Shiek of Amsterdam," why we gave him the position. Strange to say, however, even if he has shieking qualities, his ability to play basketball and baseball is astounding, and far surpasses the mysterious charm he has over "floating ribs" in skill.

"Amo, Amas, Amat."

JOSEPH RALPH SPADEA "Joe"

Brockton, Mass.

Entered fourth year Scientific. Football (4); Adelphi (4); F. C. HARVARD

"Joe" came to Williston from Brockton High and so naturally being from Brockton he had to make good. This he immediately set out to do and at once proved his worth as guard on the varsity football team. For a time "Joe" was up against it in the class rooms, but his diligent plugging soon raised him far above the danger line. "Joe" has one very bad fault, that of rising early in the morning and waking everyone else within hearing distance. But to best describe "Joe" is to quote his favorite expression, "I'm a young fellow, I know my stuff and I believe in having a good time."

The Williston Log

EVELETH REED TODD "Pete"

Lincoln, Mass.

Entered fourth year Scientific. Football (4); Hockey (4); Baseball (4); Class Pin Committee (4); Iota Zeta.

HARVARD

From Lincoln to Williston is not such a big jump for one who can easily clear the town pump two out of every three times. Altho "Pete" is admitedly slow in a parlor, the speed he has shown on the athletic field, which is exceeded only by his good looks and popularity, proves that he should take the girls out walking. Next year at Harvard we expect "Pete" to repeat the victories that he has won here at Williston.

South Manchester, Conn.

"Cap" has for two years been the proverbial "big gun." Besides being football captain in 1923 he has been president of many school organizations and a member of many others. He has found time in the midst of all his activities to earn a Cum Laude Diploma.

RICHARD FOX WHITE "Dick"

East Hampton, N. Y.

Entered fourth year Classical. Adelphi (4); Chairman Class Flag Committee (4); L. L. D. PRINCETON

"Dick" doesn't smoke, drink, chew, gamble or like the girls, yet he lives as happily as any of us."Dick" doesn't grind, dig, worry or tutor, yet he gets higher marks than most of us. He can make a lot of noise for a little fellow and we expect to hear a lot from him in the future. "Dick's" noise is different from the usual noise. It is a combination of sparkling humor and common sense. Without a doubt, "Dick" is one of those who will be paying a large income tax in years to come.

THOMAS AUGUSTUS WILLISTON

Tualcegee Inst.. Ala.

Entered third year Scientific.

U. OF P.

Tall, slender and youthful is he. Possesses an ardent longing for the dance. Music isn't weird enough nor is (lancing sufficiently grotesque to satisfy this hip wiggler from Alabama. Oh, yes, he studies 'til nine' then retires. He has aspirations to be a surgeon. If his ambition is fulfilled we pity the patient on whom he is operating if by chance a hurdy- gurdy passes by.

"Music hath charms."

Concord, Mass.

Entered fourth year Scientific. Football (4); Darmatic Club (4); Glee Club (4); Adelphi (4); Quartet (4); Asst. Art Editor, "Log" (4); F. C. HARVARD

"Big Tom" and wise-cracks. Nobody will ever think of one without the other. He comes from Concord, Massachusetts, the home of the stalwart, fighting farmers. And he certainly lives up to his reputation, for he is a big boy and anyone after watching him play football, will tell you that he has fight. "Big Tom" is a very popular "Buck" and Williston will miss him,for he intends to take Harvard by storm in the fall. However, watch out for the lures of the big city next year, "Big Tom," and here's the best of luck to you.

PRINCETON

"To be great is to be misunderstood." Andover misunderstood "Tad," and we think it's great, and so do a chosen few at Smith, for "Tad" is easily one of the most regular visitors at Smith, especially on a Saturday night. Keene, N. H., boasts the birthplace of "Bud," which goes to prove the sharpness of his mind. "Tad" will grace Princeton walls this fall and we can assure her that she is obtaining a Keene boy.

JOHN YEUNZELA "Yen"

Entered fourth year Scientific. Soccer (4).

PENN STATE

When John came from Brockton to Williston last fall another "local" boy made good. Besides being a good scholar John is quite an athlete, although he does not look it. He proved his worth as a soccer player in filling one of the forward positions as a regular. Again when the coach called for baseball players John showed everyone that he was a real good pitcher. We shall expect to hear more of John Yuenzela.

Class Prophecy of 1924

IIILE trying to write a class prophecy, I became fully convinced it was a mell of a hess. I threw down my pen, and went out for a stroll. A roaring of many motors caused me to question the whys and wherefores, bringing the information to my ears that the faculty was having an auto race. How those Profs did go. "Chuck" Rouse was leading, "Jimmie Legs" Lossone was a close second, with "Trent" White, Jesse Hance, and "Little Eva" following in the order named. As they drew near, "Little Eva" lost control of his car, headed straight for me, and then— oblivion.

"Boy, page St. Pete and tell him a visitor from Williston wants to see him."

(Boy departs, returning in a minute.)

"St. Pete says he is too busy greasing the chutes, but Moses will be here soon."

"Oh, Holy Moses—"

"Yep, that's who I said."

After a while Moses came out with a bored look, and a large sheet of paper. Every once and a while he gazed at the paper and groaned.

"Why the groans, old dear?"

"Pete refuses to have an elevator put in, and every year I have the same nmnd trouble figuring up the price of a new chute. You're fresh from school, aren't you? Hmm. Help me with these figures."

"On one condition, old bullrusher."

"Spout it."

"Tell me the future of my classmates."

"Tray beans—but do the figuring first."

We rapidly estimated the price of the greasy way. Then Moses took one of my Camels, lit it, and expounded his wisdom.

"I like Jimmie Astley. He's the 'Cat's purr.' Nothing so sensational in his life, just nice and quiet. Jim's going to go in business, amass a fortune, and die old, leaving a few children to enjoy his wealth.

"Mike Bermant! He makes me think of those chutes again. The W. C. T. U. will never let him in heaven. He's going to be a tobacco producer. Personally I think stogies ought to be passed around after every meal here—but Pete and a few of the old duffers can't see it.

The Williston Log

"Bisson. Bright future n'all. Quite the berries. He is going to be a mean doctor, what I mean. Guess he'll get in here all right.

"But say, old top, before this gets too trite let's look in the crystal globe n' you can see a lot for yourself. Gimme another butt since none of those pestering old women are around. Turn the globe, I'm going in to see how Pete's making out."

Bobby Burns first came on my view! Bobby is a very popular man. A druggist! Yep. He fills a lot of prescriptions, so they say. Doubtful if he will pass the pearly gates—he's singing!

"A druggist am I, yo-ho, Business is never slow, When a boat comes in I stock up with —."

Who the—! Charles Campbell! Hardly knew him. Oh! They're his daughters. Thought something was wrong. Just a peaceable citizen. Giddap. Booker T. Washington? Can't be. It's "Mac" Dade, throwing a mean line to an admiring audience.

"Furthermore, brothers, if the high price of chicken keeps up, I say stick by the old hens; for a dash of kalsomine with at little red lead makes them passable."

I soon got tired of turning that darn crystal so I sauntered around a bit. I ran across a bewhiskered old gent wiping his hands on an oily rag. Hastily I hid my Camels before these saints had them all gone, then I addressed him.

"I say, old top, what's up?"

"Huh? I guess nothing's higher up than this place. What are you doing here ?1,

"I'm trying to get a line on the future of some of my friends."

"Come with me."

We went to a large airy room where I was shown a lot of puppets.

"All you have to do is call the name of your pals, and their puppet will act out their life for you."

1 called, "John Delaney." Since I fear this book is going to be censored I hesitate to write what I saw.

Next I called, "Dunton." A sober-browed, serious-faced doll went graN ely through a lot of actions. It took me an hour to find out he was Chief of the Easthampton Police Force. The seriousness of this position had made him very grave.

Next in order was Eggleston. Fred was at the head of a first class undertaker's establishment. His long mien assuring his success.

With some trepidation I called on a fellow whom I liked very much, yet having fears that—well you can't blame him for he was born in Athens. Out hopped five dolls, one dressed like a clown, going thru a lot of foolish antics such as Every was wont to do at Williston. The next had on an artist's smock and gravely started to paint my portrait. The third was bent over a typewriter, knocking out humorous stories as fast as his fingers could fly. The fourth and fifth. My fears were realized. He and Hallsted had shocked the goodly puritan stock of Athens by starting a bowling alley, and actually havtng cuspidors, which of course indicated a most unholy misdemeanor.

"Getting tired of the dolls?"

"I sure am."

"Then come on with me, and we'll visit Paul; he can throw a mean line."

We entered Paul's apartment just as he was going through his daily dozen to the time of a few angelic harps.

"Busy, Paul?"

"Puff, puff! Ugh. Wish I could get rid of some of this celestial avoirdupois. What you want?"

"This fellow wants some 'info' on a string of mortals."

"Well, articulate quickly, because my nature dancing teacher is due soon."

"'Ribs' Foster."

"Heart breaker. Three divorces. Pretty good lawyer tho', so he saves money on his own cases. Next."

"'Doc' Fromen."

Fat man in a circus. Married to the ossified woman in the next stall. Offspring—two dwarfs in another tent."

"Lester Gallup."

"That makes me think of what we have to put up with here. Now 'Les' is going to play in a jazz band, and his saxaphone is going to be responsible for a lot of old jazz hounds staying thin. If I had the inspiraton of a good sax, instead of these old harps, playing the Wahoo Blues, why I'd get somewhere in my dancing. But as it is I can't get any pep worked up, as these string pickers play "I am a little Moonshine."

"Valentin Garcia."

"Another leader of these monotonous Mexican Revolutions. I'm sick of

Williston Log

making entries in the books about them. That's the worst of being a scholar, I get all the clerical work to do."

"William Geran."

"A good politician. He's going to lose his life in the endeavor to make Holyoke a clean city, and safe for all nationalities to live in."

"Kenneth Hamilton."

"His easy flow of lingo is going to make him very popular in the barber shops that he's going to run."

Just then a loud noise attracted my attention, but Pete explained by saying, "That's John the Baptist; he's a little off, lost his head, you know."

"Well, boys, I guess I'll have to quit talking because Vernon Castle is here to give me my dancing lesson." -

"Pete, I have a bunch to find out about still."

"Let's go and see old Merlin, maybe he can give us some of them."

We found Merlin sitting before a fire roasting hot dogs. Pete asked him for me. Old Merlin got up, walked around the fire three or four times on his hands. I asked Pete if the old boy belonged to the same frat as John the Baptist, but I was informed he was just working up a trance. Suddenly he barked as mournfully as a hound; this, I was told, was the psychological time to ask what I would. So I questioned him about "Newt" Holbrook.

Merlin daintily picked up a roasted dog in his fingers, took a bite and started to speak. "Pretty hot—this dog, I mean. Holbrook? Hmm. Maybe, but I'm not so sure. Oh I meant maybe this weiner would taste better if I put a little salt on it. We were talking about Holbrook, weren't we? Quite a skin. Not Holbrook, I mean this choice morsel has a bit too much skin on it. Holbrook is going to be a teacher."

Merlin started on another frankforter, and as I hadn't all day to wait for him, Pete and I went on our way. The next person we met was no one else but Philip. He had a fish line cast into a large cloud. I realized these people were growing dimmer all the time, and other voices coming from nowhere were heard, so I ran up to him quickly before he vanished altogether. After hearing my story he volunteered a little sooth-saying.

"John Kerrigan, quite an oil magnate. Not in the regular sense but with the gusher he has in his mouth he'll be able to pour oil on any troubled waters he may sail into.

"John Lyman is going to specialize in gas, bringing light to many otherwise darkened homes. He's going to have quite a tank.

"William Mack." I trembled when I asked this because I happen to be

Williston Log 17

very well acquainted with the fellow, perhaps I know more about his affairs than anyone else. If a harsh future should be given him I'd feel badly indeed. Phil spoke, but just then a flock of angels, off on a party, flew by, and the whirring of their wings made it impossible for me to hear a word.

"'Don' Mallery. Some sheik, I'll say. Mighty nice fellow, but with a decided yearning for the opposite sex. He's going to marry a strong woman and live at ease for the rest of his life. Death caused by overeating. I got a bite! I mean a fish is on the hook."

Just then Telemachus of "Winged Word" fame came along and offered assistance..

"Yea, verily, say I unto thee, that Paul McCormick is predestined to rank high in the human race. Many wise words will he speak to brethren who will stand gasping in admiration at his sagacity, and yet, withal, not understanding anything that he sayeth.

"Fain would I dwell on 'Pep' Nash. But words cannot describe his future. He has many possibilities, and the ability to succeed in any line. His ambition to be a teacher of geometry is a worthy one. Under the careful supervision of George T. Betts he undoubtedly will learn to draw geometric figures in his sleep."

I grew a little weary of Telly, so Pete and I trudged along the cloudpaved streets in search of a new Vates. A sudden inspiration came to Pete and he suggested we take a slide to the eternal bonfire.

"Ouch!"

"What's the matter, old rooster?"

"Just a splinter," was the reply. Then carefully he took a six inch sliver from his saintly seating apparatus.

The first one we met was Old Nick himself, who gave us a fiery look.

"Why, mortal, and ye saint also, art thou in my domain?"

"To seek knowledge from the Chief of the Fire Dept. about the future of some fellows."

We were then taken to a nice cool spot by a lake of boiling glass so we wouldn't be disturbed by the noise of the stokers.

"Curtis Onthank. A very useful life. A life of cleanliness. Many a clogged, stagnant place shall be made clean by him.

"Is he going to be an evangelist?"

"Oh no. He is going to be engaged as a sewer cleaner."

The heat being very stifling, Pete and I climbed back towards heaven, but stopped at purgatory for a rest. To our surprise we found the three wise men still hunting for a way out.

They spoke.

The Williston Log

"Three wise men are we, Maurice, Jacob and Izzy."

Then they gazed on us with a solemn look.

"Perhaps you're able to foretell futures?"

Without replying they said, "Donald Thomas O'Nenll is one whom ye would like to know about. 1. In his life many beautiful bubbles shall appear. 2. Never shall he soil his hands. 3. Many things shall be made presentable to human eyes thru his diligence. Ah, ye think he is going to be a poet. Not so. He is going to run a first-class laundry.

"Frank Ranwats will always find business picking up. 2. Many elegant parl:s will be his donation to the mortals. 3. He will despise other men for their carelessness and immediately straighten things out for them."

"Sounds as tho' he is going to be an efficiency expert of no mean fame."

"Ye judge wrong. The D. S. C. awaits him."

didn't like these prophecies so well, therefore I gave Pete the high sign to make a quick get-away. We soon found the celestial stairway and were up,.in a jiffy. As we rested awhile after our climb, Pete, being a trifle garrulous, spoke about Dick Reimann.

"Sag Harbor is going to be proud of "Dick," for he is going to do great things. No one will be able to beat him at pinochle. As a story-teller he will have no peer. He is going to meet his fiancee in a very peculiar fashion. The heroine of his romance will come galloping up the main street of his native town, and will mistake 'Dick' for a hitching post. On discovering her error, being overcome by mortification, she will faint in his arms. Everyone in town will flock around these two, and mistake the sight. Immediately, a romance-reading spinster will get a dominee ; the girl unconsciously will answer all questions, waking up to find herself hitched to her hitching post. After twenty years or so she will become reconciled.

"'Sid' Russell will eventually be the partner of 'Bobbie' Burns. Between the two they will have a successful life, but a doubtful hereafter.

"John Seidel, having been brought up on a ranch, will naturally turn his thoughts to steers, but in a peculiar way. As a youth he was always impressed by the horns of the cattle. This, along with their melodious snorting, will cause him to think of bugles. As, however, he knows naught of these instruments, his mind will turn in another fashion. Having the snorting and the bugles in mind, he will become a manufacturer of handkerchiefs.

"Phil Shea is going to lead a very high life. His ambition is as high as

the clouds, and it's going to be realized. In fact very few men will get as high as Phil will in his airship.

"`Wally' Smith is going to spend his life mixing things up, so much so that he'll be the only one to know what they are. He won't be satisfied in mixing what men already have mixed themselves, but will seek new things to mix. He'll handle a great deal of vial stuff in his Chemistry lab.

"'Ken' Somerville using some of his roommate's oil ; will apply it to the feet of many fellows, and using Ben Franklin's method will obtain lighting, oiling it well. Thus will turn out athletes, who will be as swift as greasedlightning, when he achieves his ambition to be a physical director.

"But let's mosey along and let the rest of the guys tell you about your remaining friends; I'll have enough talking to do when I start on gate duty later."

Pete left me and I wandered around looking for some new talent. Moses, Philip, and Telemachus were telling each other fish stories, so I didn't bother them. Merlin was still eating hot dogs. Paul was busy with his books. The crystal globe had been smashed by a colony of Indians who were demanding home rule, endeavoring to gain it by the means of bricks. I espied an angel singing to the accompanying music of her harp, and much to my surprise she was foretelling the future of my classmates.

"Take me back to the ball game, I want to see home-run Todd, Gee, what a crack he gave that pill, Knocks it anywhere he will."

From this I gathered that Pete is due to be a big leaguer.

"He's a great big man, With a lot of pep,

A politician with a rep,

A President's chair he's due to fill, The. Right Hon. John Waddell."

Evidently "Cap" is going to go big in politics. Dick White is a biographer, He's got Boswell stopped a mile; He writes about Claffey's life, The book will make you smile.

So Dick is going to be a humorist. Williston can chalk down another writer on her list of Alumni.

50 The Williston Log

As the angel had an awful voice, I walked away. Troubled voices became very distinct, then dimmed again. Heaven vanished from my view, and a modern city took its place.

I found myself wandering around in Washington, D. C. Casually I glanced at a sign in a window of a large house. Tommy Williston had chosen to cut up for the rest of his life, as the sign in the window read,"Thomas Williston, Doctor of Surgery." Hastily I ran up the stairs and obtained admittance. In the parlor were Tom Wood and Jack Wright, both talking at once with Dr. Williston. Wood was trying to sell a paid-up life insurance, while Wright was endeavoring to sell a motor car to both Wood and Williston. After a brief argument Williston agreed to buy of them both providing they would take payment in the form of an operation. This left the argument between Wood and Wright. Wood offered to swap an insurance policy for a car. This left Wright alone. As I left the house I heard Wright arguing with himself.

On the corner I met a man who endeavored to sell me a patent medicine for a cough. I told him I didn't have one, but he assured me I'd have one sometime or another. His persistence made me stare at him and to my surprise I found it was John Yeunzela, a Senator, who, having recognized me, was playing a practical joke. I grasped his hand—a piercing shriek made everything quickly disappear. My head swam. Where did I see these people before? Whose nose was I pulling? Then I remembered everything; the race; the accident, and released Mr. Tibbets' nose which in my perturbed vision I had mistaken for a hand.

Senior Promenade

I hate to boast about ourselves, but we must proudly admit that since it was the custom for Senior classes to have proms, never has here been one quite the equal to the prom of 1924.

Probably the best reasons we can suggest for this are that we had the Trinity Bacchanalian Orchestra from New York, the most beautifully decorated hall, the elegance of the Frat booths, and observing the order of sequence, several results of Adam's lost rib. Since everyone knew his partner was the best looking, best dancer, and the nicest person there since every Frat booth was better than any other, you can readily see why our prom was the best in the history of Senior Class Promenades.

Middle Class

E, of the middle class, are very proud indeed that next year we shall step into the shoes left vacant by the illustrious graduating class. In fact, we now have the right to call ourselves Seniors. During the three years we have worked towards this goal we can never recall of a single moment when we regretted our connections with Williston. Indeed, the three years proved to be the source of advancing our knowledge, but also, that which is ever more valuable, we have been taught to conduct ourselves as men no matter what difficulty, or temptation we had to face.

We were also prominent in all branches of the school activities. Several of our number being represented in athletics, dramatics, and in various offices.

We are proud of our achievements,•and look forward to 1925, when, as Seniors, we will endeavor to do greater things.

"Little acorns into mighty oaks grow."

V EN tho' we are but two year olds, yet we have learned to walk on our own legs. That is one Of the best features of Williston, it teaches everyone to stand firmly on his own two feet, and fight his battles successfully.

Now that we have come successfully thru our second year we are eagerly looking forward to our third, when we expect to accomplish great things and surpass the record of all other Middle classes.

Don't think for a minute that we have been sitting back and watching our elders do all the work. Not so, for we also have been active in every branch of Williston's activities.

Just keep your eyes on us and watch us grow during the next two years.

next four years of Williston's building. We must confess that we are proud of our start. Even tho' we are merely toddlers, yet we have accumplished a great many things. Our elder brothers have been very kind to us, and with their assistance we have been successful in being able to walk past cows without being bit because of our greenness.

In one short year we have learned to love Williston and all it stands for: "Learning, Clean Sports, and Real Manhood."

Football

HE 1923 football season opened with seemingly excellent prospects for a successful year, despite the fact that only three letter men returned from the 1922 team. These men were R. Foster, an excellent quarterback, J. Waddell, a husky guard, and L. Sloan, a good tackle. Mahoney, Fraunfelter, Bermant, Kilner and Aiken were the most promising men from last year's scrubs. A large number of new men, also, presented themselves for practice. The most promising of there were Bunyan, Crosby, Spadea, Astley, Burke, Corrigan, Lockwood, Todd, Wood, Hale and Reed, all of whom had had experience elsewhere.

The team suffered a great deal by the loss of Captain-elect Barrett, who died during the summer. Waddell was appointed to fill his place.

Just before the first scheduled game the team had a practice game with Amherst Varsity and beat them, 7-6. Whether this gave overconfidence which lost the first game of the season, and which in turn made us lose other games, no one will ever know. At all events the team could not seem to pull out of their slump and they went through the season with a string of defeats, with but one exception. We won from the strong Williams Freshmen team in a hard, fast game, by the score of 3-0, in which Todd made the winning drop-kick.

Tn spite of the fact that we lost most of the games, the team never,lost heart and fought gamely throughout the season. The summary of scores is decidedly not encouraging, but it does not tell the true story of the fine spirit shown and the hard work put in by Coaches Crowther and Hance and the squad. Surely the amount of experience gained will be an asset for next year. Captain-elect Bunyan, Crosby, Fraunfelter, Sloan, Burke, Corrigan, Kilner, Aiken, Lockwood, Hale, and Reed will return next year, and with this year's team work, certainly ought to develop into a marvelous team for 1921.

The second team practiced hard and faithfully, providing plenty of opposition for the first team in practise games. They had games with Deerfield Academy and Northampton High School and won them all.

The following men who did not get their "W" were awarded the second team insignia: Jenny, Reed, Moore, Kalasinsky, Moriarty, Geran, and Hall. The remainder of the squad, coached by Mr. Lossone, was divided into several teams which held games between themselves.

Basketball

Afew days after the Thanksgiving recess, the call for basketball men went out and a large number of candidates reported. None of the men from the 1923 first team were back, but Reimann, Kilner, Russell, Aiken, Fraunfelter and Howgate reported from last year's second team. The men were under the coaching of Mr. Hance, but along toward Christmas vacation the squad was split up and Mr. Lossone took charge of the second squad. Besides the men back from the last year's second team the new men, Shea, Corrigan, Hale, Gallup, Burke and Bunyan showed up remarkably well. As no captain had been elected, Shea was early chosen to lead the team.

The season opened January twelfth with a victory over the Springfield College Freshmen. We won the next game and met the first defeat at the hands of the Williams Freshman team. The team played hard and well all season and lost only five games out of a hard schedule of thirteen. This year they won from our old rival, Worcester Academy, in a very clean, fast game, by the score of 32-19. It can be seen from the score that winning from our strong rivals was not at all luck, but clever, hard playing, the same sort that carried the team through the whole season.

The second team, under Mr. Lossone, played a few games, besides helping to give the first squad plenty of practice. There were several inter-fraternity and inter-dormitory games which aroused much interest and comment. A keen interest was aroused among the whole student body by this sport and every game was well attended.

The prospects for a successful season for 1925 seem quite good, with Kilner, Corrigan, Hale, Fraunfelter, Aiken, Burke and Bunyan returning to school. All these men played an excellent game of basketball during the whole season.

Besides these men a large amount of good, new material presented itself and Coach Denman soon shaped a perfect machine.

We won the first game from St. Jerome's High School by a score of 3-1. The other games were nearly all repetitions of the first. In the game with the strong Yale Freshmen team, Scholtz pitched a wonderful game, allowing three hits and getting fourteen strikeouts. However, we lost the game, 2-0. The Worcester game was one to be long remembered. Scholtz, our star pitcher, played his usual excellent game, allowing eleven hits, striking out nine men and getting a home-run. Williston had better pitching, better hitting, and better fielding than our rivals, who are always a strong combination to beat. The score was 3-1 in the second, 9-3 in the fifth, and Harris, in the sixth inning, got a home-run that settled the scoring for the day, leaving Williston the victory with a score of 10-3. Russler, Bouteiller, Scholtz, Crandell and Harris starred in this game.

The summary of scores shows what kind of a game we played, but it does not aptly show the excellent spirit and hard work which the team had every minute of the season. Landers was batting .461 when he left school, Scholtz next with .428 and Harris with .393, all excellent averages. Coach Denman surely rounded out his term at Williston in a way which he may well be proud. His loss will be felt, as he was very popular with everyone and was very much respected by those directly under him.

The prospects for a successful season for 1924 are fair, with Captainelect Bingham, Kilner, Richardson and Szewczyk returning to school.

1923 Track

HE 1923 track team was a hard working aggregation which received little support from the school for their work. The majority of the cross-country stars in the fall preferred other forms of exercises during the winter and spring, so many of these were lost to the team. However, a fairly large number of candidates reported to the call for track men and worked throughout the winter and spring. The team was coached by Mr. Romeo,a former Springfield College man.

We had a small schedule and made our most conspicuous victory by defeating Central High School, of Springfield, by a score of 59-31. Captain Lew andowski, a weight man, was out most of the season. In the Triangular Meet with Loomis Institute and Deerfield Academy, which was held at Williston. we secured second place, the scores being Loomis 40, Williston 28, and Deerfield 12. The men who placed in this meet were awarded letters. B. H. Strong was the individual star of the team, getting three first places in both the Central High meet and the Triangular meet, and one of the two firsr places against the strong Springfield College Freshman team.

The prospects look fairly good for a successful season for 1924, with Captain Mahoney, Mallery, Bermant, and Sloan returning to school. We sincerely hope that this year the student body will get behind and loyally support its track team.

Soccer

OCCER was a new sport at Williston this season and Coach Ray Oosting of Springfield College developed a remarkable team from the enthusiastic "green" material which presented itself. None of the boys had ever played soccer to any great extent before, and the way they worked to help the coach develop a team was nothing short of remarkable. We had a hard schedule against experienced teams and only twice did we how our heads in defeat, and that to the same aggregation. Fromen, who was elected captain, Yuan, Farwell, and Shea showed up well from the start and played excellent soccer throughout the schedule. The season started off well for us since we won our first game, against Deerfield Academy, a team of experienced men. Our luck continued throughout the season with the exception of the two games against Wilbraham Academy, which we lost in hard-fought games.

Soccer certainly had a welcome reception at Williston and the prospects for a successful season for 1924 look very promising, with Captain-elect Richardson, Yuan, Farwell, Howgate, Holleran and Reed returning to school. The summary of games showed what kind of soccer we played, but it cannot show the determination that each man had in every minute of practice and game.

Hockey

HERE was a large group of good new material which presented itself at the first call for hockey candidates. Captain Foster, an excellent player, and Little were the only veterans from the undefeated 1923 team. In addition to these two men, Eggleston, Todd and Reid showed up very well from the new men. As the weather was unusually warm, early practice was held on the Ford Hall campus. On return from the Christmas vacation, however, the ice was good, and Principal Galbraith, assisted by Mr. Lossone of the faculty, set to work to develop a team.

The schedule was a difficult one and due to hard luck, the team did not seem to get under way properly. They, however, came back several times, particularly by defeating Deerfield 'Academy and Loomis Institute in return games. Captain Foster played his usual stellar game, scoring every Williston goal of the season.

1923 Tennis

HE 1923 tennis season started out well by winning the first game over Wilbraham Academy. Captain Aiken and J. Strong were the only letter men back from the 1922 team and proved a well-knit nucleus for the 1923 team. - Hogue, Galbraith, and Gruber proved good from the large amount of new material which was found in school and Principal Galbraith set hard at work to finish off a well-running machine. Captain Aiken showed his usual good form and played number one throughout the season. Hogue, a new man, soon showed his worth and held number two position for the season.

The team fought hard in every match, but the schedule was a hard one and the team simply could not seem to grind out a victory, even after the seemingly successful start.

The prospects for a successful season for 1924 seem good with Captain Hogue and Aiken returning to school.

The Y.M.C.A.

AS usual the "Y" has done a great deal for the benefit of the Williston students this year. Several speakers were heard during the Fall and Winter terms in the "Y" room.

The annual Pow-Wow was held in the Fall term, under the supervision of the "Y" Cabinet. The "Buck Caps" were given out by the president of the Student Council. Bounteous refreshments in the line of cider and doughnuts were supplied by the "Y." Several suppers, given in the Payson Church, were arranged, and everyone was pleased by the one hundred per cent turn out of the student body, and by the entl.t.tt-iastic spirit shown during these suppers.

Too much credit cannot be given to Professor Charles Rouse for his faithfulness and untiring efforts in making the "Y" a livev‘ire society.

The three-act play, "Stop Thief," was given with greatest success during the Winter term. A large amount of credit is due to Dernell Every, Al Hale, Royal Haywood, John Szewczyk, and William Mack for this good performance.

The Willistonian

NDER an entirely new management, elected for the year, the first issue of "The Willistonian" appeared last fall, very soon after the reopening of school. Since then it has made its appearance faithfully every Monday, throughout the school year, and it must be said that this weekly appearance was always impatiently awaited by all. The small paper has been brim full of the doings, happenings, and activities of Williston life, recorded in an interesting manner, besides being generously sprinkled throughout with bits of humor from our own and the wits of others. All in all, the 1923-'24 "Willistonian" has been an excellent paper, setting a high standard and good example for future "Willistonians."

Adelphi

HE past year has been a most successful one for the Adelphi Debating Society, due not only to honors won by its members but also to the fact that this society promoted and developed to a great extent an increasing interest in debating among the students.

At the weekly meetings formal procedure was often superseded by an informal discussion in which at times every member of the house voiced his opinion. In this way more fellows benefited by debating than has been the case in former years.

Formal debate, however, was not entirely eliminated and the season came to a fitting close when Adelphi won the joint debate with Gamma Sigma, thus gaining permanently the "F. C." cup.

6AMMA SIGMA has every reason to be proud of this year's work. This year we started in with very new material, but plastic. Of this material the older members have succeeded in making a nucleus for an exceptional society next year. We have enjoyed this year's work immensely, largely because of the vast amount of enthusiasm shown by every one of her members. In over ninety per cent of our meetings everyone took an active part in the discussion. Our discussions were not questions to be decided from books, but rather questions that took a good deal of concentration on a member's part.

While we lost the point debate to Adelphi this year we are not the least bit disheartened, but rather are looking forward to next year when we will reverse the tables.

Two of our older members made up the team that was successful at Amherst.

Corrigan:"Did it kill him?"

Seidel: "Mr. Galbraith praised me considerably for my scholarship work last term."

Seidel, Sr.: "What did he say?"
