FOUIEWOUD

Although tradition dictates that the function of a preparatory school annual shall be to record the people, the events, and the spirit of a single school year, we have exceeded these limits in this volume. We have incorporated in our art theme a historical outline of Williston, using as the main division page illustrations, pictures of the various Academy buildings, in the order in which they were built; each accompanied by a brief historical note.

We trace the history up to the present, and with the graduation of the Class of '32, another page is added to the annals of Williston. We find an entirely new spirit surrounding the school, so we present the suggestion of former Williston as a background for the school and its activities as they are today.

ALMA MATIEIR

God preserve our Alma Mater, Williston, forevermore; In the sunshine of Thy favor, Guard her, keep her, we implore. Crown her still with strength and honor By Thy grace renew her youth; In the light that never faileth Lead her on from truth to truth.

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.

Here today upon her altars We present our sacrifice; Though tomorrow widely sundered, Still may this our prayer arise. God preserve our Alma Mater, Williston, forevermore, In the sunshine of Thy favor, Guard her, keep her, we implore.

SENICUS

WILLISTON 1844

To meet the needs of a steadily increasing enrollment, a second building, of red brick, was constructed. It still stands, now having the name of Middle Hall. The boys' schoolroom was moved to the new building, giving opportunity for a special schoolroom for young ladies, as Williston was originally co-educational.

WILLISTON 1857

On March 4, 1857, a fire broke out in the original building, and it burned to the ground. The insurance was collected, and Mr. Williston added enough to make possible the erection of another building on the site of the destroyed one. This building is now known as South Hall.

ATIFILUTICS

WILLISTON 1864

Williston Academy was one of the first American preparatory schools to realize the value of organized athletic training among the student body. Consequently, in 1864, made possible by funds supplied by Mr. Williston, the first preparatory school gymnasium in America was erected on the Williston campus.

Mr. Watters

IFCCTILAI_IL

At the start of the season, Coach Watters was greatly handicapped in that he had only ten days in which to prepare for the opening game. Besides this, only three of last year's lettermen returned, and the coaches were faced with the problem of building a team around this nucleus. In view of these facts, a record which shows three losses, one tie, and two victories cannot be considered wholly unsuccessful.

At the outset, Graham Clark was elected captain to replace Dervin, who was elected last year, but who failed to return to school.

At fullback, Clark played a steady game throughout the season and fully satisfied all the qualifications of a good captain. At right half, Melvin McGonnigle fulfilled the role of a triple threat. He was especially valuable as a kicker and passer. William Dyer, at quarterback, played a remarkable consistent game throughout the season.

In the first encounter with Williams Frosh, the unpreparedness of our team counted heavily against us, in that we had not had time for sufficient drill and conditioning. The Freshmen consisted of a group

of more experienced men who had had plenty of pre-season training. After being held scoreless for three periods, they forced over one touchdown to win.

Next on the schedule came Wilbraham. Here the Blue and Gold was up against a team that they were unable to match. Wilbraham's strong running attack and powerful line were too much for Williston, and the 13-0 score just about tells the story of the Maroon's superiority.

On October 30, Stockbridge was played to a 7-7 tie. At a later date the Blue and Gold could have probably come out the victors. Toward the latter part of the game, Shaw fell on a blocked kick for Williston's first score of the season, and Clark booted the extra point to tie the score.

The game with Cushing marked the last loss of the season. Cushing had the better team, but they were not our superiors by twenty-six points, as the score might indicate. They caught the team on an off day, and their first and second teams had no trouble in scoring on the Williston regulars.

On November 21, a rejuvenated Williston eleven pounded out a 19-6 victory over Suffield. The first score came early in the first period. After a forty-yard march, Bill Dyer slipped over for the score. The second score came on a pass, McGonnigle to Clark. Suffield scored their only touchdown on a sensational run-back of the kick-off. Williston's final score also came via the pass route, McGonnigle to Clark.

The next game on the schedule found the Williston eleven overcoming a fighting squad from Deerfield. Our whole team must be given credit for the showing they made in this game. Our line functioned perfectly; the backfield performed like clockwork. In fact, the team played as if inspired by an indomitable spirit to do or die.

Once, however, in the second period Deerfield came very near scoring, when a Deerfield man blocked a Williston punt. It was the Green's ball on Williston's forty-yard line. Then the Green and White proceeded to march to our one-yard line, where fortune smiled on the wearers of the Blue and Gold, and Shaw recovered a fumble. The third period brought victory to the Blue and Gold. After getting possession of the ball in mid-field, we deliberately marched down the field for a touchdown, McGonnigle scoring. Bill Dyer kicked the extra point, which gave Williston the victory.

With defeat looming up, Deerfield put on a passing attack which finally resulted in a score, but the very necessary extra point was blocked by Dick Parker.

The following were awarded letters: Captain Clark, Stretch Peterson, who is captain-elect for 1932; McGonnigle, King, Dyer, Grant, Turner, Stone, Scofield, Dawe, Gaughan, Parker, Geyer, Shaw, Phillipson, Higgins, and Manager Brooks Emerson.

For the first time in many years, the Williston soccer team completed, in 1931, an undefeated season. Led by the courage of its captain, Stanley Parker, the scoring power of William McEwan, and the expert direction of Coach Harris, our players faced one of the hardest schedules that Williston has even had in soccer, and conquered every opponent to finish the season with a string of ten victories and without a single tie or defeat.

The team was composed of Fernald Washburn as goalie, Antonio Anzola and Ken Hurd as fullbacks, Henry Sargent, Fred Toon and Lindsey Lyman as halfbacks, James Pond, Captain Parker, Roland Chase, and Lon Emerson in the forward line, and the key of the entire combination, William McEwan, as center. Of these men, Parker, McEwan, Hurd, Washburn, Sargent, Emerson, and Toon were veterans of the previous season, while Anzola, Pond, Chase, and Lyman were recruits which Coach developed into skillfull players. As substitutes, Coach Harris had excellent material in Foord, Gunn, Post, and Dodge. During the entire season our "Booters" scored a total of 51 goals against 9 for their opponents. Of the 51 tallies, McEwan scored 32, Parker 6, and the rest were divided more or less equally among the other players.

The first game of the season was played at home against Hopkins Academy, and Williston found little trouble in setting back the visitors by a 3 to 1 score.

The second game was also played at home. The opposing team was Deerfield, and the final count was 4 to 1, McEwan scoring three goals.

After Deerfield we met Springfield College Freshmen and Suffield School. The first encounter proved to be somewhat of a battle, in which the Willistonians found some difficulty in obtaining a 2 to 1 decision in their favor. The Suffield game was more like a practice game for our players, for they easily took an 8 to 1 victory. In this game "Billy" scored 4 of the 8 goals.

After having conquered Suffield our team fought a memorable battle at Wilbraham. This game was, without a doubt, the most thrilling and interesting of them all. The final score was 4 to 1, and again the scoring honors went to McEwan, who scored all four.

Kingswood School and American International College followed the fate of the previous teams, being defeated by score of 12 to 1 and 7 to 1, respectively.

The game with Worcester Academy, which followed the one with the International boys, meant a great deal to our players, and they did all that

Page fifty-six

was in their power to obtain a well-earned victory at the expense of their ancient rivals. In the last period, with the score 1 to 0 against our team, McEwan tallied twice to give his team the most precious victory of them all.

The season ended with repeated victories over Suffield School and American International College, each of whom we met twice during the season. The scores were 7 to 1 and 3 to 1, respectively.

At the Y. M. C. A. banquet Parker, Washburn, McEwan, Foord, Chase, Emerson, Anzola, Gunn, Pond, Toon, Sargent, Hurd, Lyman, Dodge, and Post were awarded letters.

McEwan was elected captain for the 1932 season.

PERSONNEL OF THE UNDEFEATED SOCCER TEAM

For the past several seasons Williston has had brilliant soccer teams, and during the season of 1931 the Blue and Gold booters went through a very difficult schedule undefeated and untied. In view of this fact we are herewith presenting a little data on each individual player.

CAPTAIN STANLEY PARKER

The Williston soccerites were captained this season by one of the most versatile men that has happened along in some time, Stanley Parker. He started his career here as a wing, shifted to inside, where he played for the better part of two years, and also saw service as a fullback. ' His quiet leadership was of no little value in helping our team have such a splendid season.

CAPTAIN-ELECT WILLIAM McEWAN

When the season ended, Bill McEwan was a unanimous choice for next year's captain. Bill scored a large majority of the booter's goals and was the big scoring threat that made our team so feared.

Page fifty-eight

-'

EX-CAPTAIN HENRY SARGENT

Last year's captain, Henry Sargent, returned to fill in his old position at center half. His brilliant head and foot work was the mainstay of the soccerites' defensive power.

FRED TOON

Another versatile star, Fred Toon, completed his third year as a varsity man. He scintillated in both half-back and forward line positions and was at all times a scoring threat.

ANTONIO ANZOLA

The Junior class presented the team this year with one of the greatest fullbacks in Williston soccer history, Tony Anzola. Tony's long kicks averted many a disaster and started the forward line off for a score.

KENNETH HURD

Coupled with Anzola at the fullback positions was Ken Hurd, who has been a defense star for the past three seasons.

LON EMERSON

Lean, long, lanky Lon Emerson, one of the fastest outside men on our team for some time, covered right wing this year in a most capable fashion and contributed many passes for McEwan to turn into goals.

JOHN GUNN

To repudiate the statement that small men have no place in soccer is Johnny Gunn. He did good, steady work as an inside and was a valuable side-kick for McEwan.

FERNALD WASHBURN

Another small man who was of great help to the team was Fernie Washburn. His brilliant work at goal guard was in great part responsible for the fact that only nine points were scored against us in ten games.

ROLAND CHASE

Alternating with Gunn at inside was Chase. His hard boots and good head work were of no little value in the forward line.

ROBERT POST

Bobbie Post saw a great deal of service as an inside. He was always ready to step in to fill a breach and was of great worth in this capacity.

JAMES POND

On left wing Coach Harris placed one of his pluckiest men, Jim Pond. Jimmy centered brilliantly and contributed much to the team's success with his clever footwork.

ARCHIE FOORD

This year Archie Foord, a product of Mr. Boardman's fence busters, developed into a valuable utility halfback, where he performed very well.

LINDSEY LYMAN

A hard booter and a smart header, Lindsey along with Sargent and Toon made up one of Williston's best halfback lines for some time:

ROBERT DODGE

A part time regular and valuable utility halfback was Bob Dodge. Bob was a sure kicker and gritty all-around player.

MANAGER ESMOND THOMPSON

When Coach Harris called Esmond Thompson "his fighting manager" he exactly typified Essy. His splendid spirit and efficient managership made the team more tenacious and competent.

I-I4DCEEY

With only two lettermen back from last year, hockey prospects for 1932 looked gloomy. Willie Jenkins, brilliant forward linesman, and Skippy Gwiazda, star goalie, were gone. Captain Toon and William Benton were the only regular men to return. Coaches Galbraith and Lossone faced the difficult task of building two new forward lines, finding a running mate to help Captain Fred Toon on the defense, and molding a new goalie. In spite of these grave obstacles which confronted them, the two coaches turned a squad of new players into a skillful, scrappy, smooth-working team of pucksters that went through a strenuous season undefeated and untied.

At the beginning of the year, everything seemed to be against the team. There was the job of upholding the reputation of last year's undefeated aggregation. Then, even the elements turned their faces away, and the weather was the poorest for hockey that we have had for a long time.

However, Mr. Galbraith and Mr. Lossone went right ahead and built a team. Melvin McGonnigle, a newcomer, held down the job of center on the first line, and Bill Benton took over the right wing position, while Bob King, a buck, and Gren Cate, a former Canary, alternated at left wing. Jim Whipple, in center, and Fred Kennedy and Bill Stone, on right and left wings, respectively, composed the second line. Ben Hatch, who arrived at school after Christmas, was used a great deal and proved to be a valuable man.

Captain Fred Toon and Dick Shaw composed the defense, and according to popular opinion, they were the best in years. The problem of a goalie was soon solved. George Holbrook and Howard Lockwood, two inexperienced men, soon developed into creditable goalies with honors about even. Lockwood started the season as George's understudy, but then George was sick for a game and Lockwood took over the regular job. For a while he held it, and then he became sick, and Holbrook again stepped is as regular goalie. At the end of the year Eddie Lee was brought up from the Canaries and performed very creditably for the short time he was used. Page sixty

The opening fracas of the season scheduled to be played with Greenfield, had to be postponed because of the warm weather. Loomis, next on the program, was our first game. We had little trouble in winning. Bill Benton scored four goals, and we came out on top, 4 to 2.

On a rink covered with water, we found no trouble in overcoming Suffield, 6 to 0.

Wilbraham and Holyoke were scheduled to follow, but again unfavorable weather forced postponement. Then came our big game with Worcester which turned out to be an easy victory. Playing in the Springfield Arena, we romped away to a 7 to 0 decision. Mel McGonnigle chalked up three scores; Bill Benton tallied twice and, Dick Shaw and Fred Kennedy each made one.

Mr. Lossone

After that the pucksters engaged Wilbraham in a play-off of • the postponed game. This contest was a more difficult one than any we had yet experienced, and only by brilliant work did we manage to edge out a 2 to 1 victory. Captain Toon and Bob King scored our points, and though Donovan of Wilbraham tallied once to avert a shut-out, the Blue and Gold stayed on top.

Then, in the final game of the season Williston nosed out Deerfield, 4 to 3, in two overtime periods. This was the best game of the season. The Green and White built up a 2 to 0 lead in first period, and it looked as though we were doomed to defeat. McGonnigle spoiled a white-washing by scoring in the second period, but Johnson came right back to score another for Deerfield. The third period saw the Blue and Gold desperately attempting to pull up from behind. Then Captain Toon came into his own and tallied two beautiful goals to tie the score. Still going at top speed, our pucksters kept the Green and White pucksters continually on the defensive in the overtimes. Bill Benton finally chalked up another goal to give us the victory and another undefeated season.

A recapitulation of scoring for the season shows that McGonnigle and Benton are tied for the honors, each having eight points to their credit. Fred Toon was second with seven. Then comes Bob King with three, Kennedy, Whipple, and Stone with two each, and Dick Shaw with one.

Kneeling:

PERSONNEL OF THE UNDEFEATED HOCKEY TEAM

An undefeated hockey team is something to brag about, but when two in a row happen along, there is a real excuse for ego. Last year our pucksters were undefeated but tied one game. This year the team went them one better and not only were unbeaten but also ended all games without a single tie. Here is a little data on the personnel.

CAPTAIN FRED TOON

This year the pucksters were captained by a defense man who will go down in the Williston hall of fame as a great athlete, Fred Toon. His power both in scoring and on the defense was a great asset.

CAPTAIN-ELECT MELVIN McGONNIGLE

Mel McGonnigle held down the center ice job on the first line and his big stick was ever a potent scoring threat.

RICHARD SHAW

Coupled with Toon in the two rear positions was Dick Shaw, a big hulking fellow who was a tower of strength on the defense.

Page sixty-two

WILLIAM BENTON

Bill Benton, greatly improved from last year, played right wing on the first line and was tied with McGonnigle for high-scoring honors.

ROBERT KING

Left wing on the first line was ably filled by Bob King. Bob was small of stature but as plucky a puck-chaser as we ever had.

N. GRENDELL CATE

Gren Cate alternated. with King on the left wing job. He was a speedy man who will go far as a hockey player.

JAMES WHIPPLE

At center on the second line was Jim Whipple, another of Williston's mighty midgets. Jim was always a potential scoring threat.

BENJAMIN HATCH

Bennie Hatch alternated with Whipple at center, and was a valuable man, both offensively and defensively.

FRED KENNEDY

Fred Kennedy, coming from a town of real hockey players, Newton, upheld the reputation of his, home town by doing brilliant work throughout the season at right wing on the second line.

WILLARD STONE

Bill Stone capably covered the position of left wing in the second forward line. His assists were of great value to the high-scoring men, and he was always in there where the fighting was thickest.

GEORGE HOLBROOK

Williston's famous fighter, George Holbrook, was one of our due of goalguards, who did so well in checking the scoring rushes of our opponents.

HOWARD LOCKWOOD

George's co-goalie was the able Howie Lockwood. Howie came from last year's Canaries and performed surprisingly well.

FRED WAKELIN

Every team must have a reserve defense, and Fred Wakelin helped to fill the captaincy. His steady work was of no little value.

PARKER WILLIAMS

Parker Williams was the other second string defense and his work was of no less worth than that of Wakelin's.

MANAGER ROLAND CHASE

A fighting manager is a great asset to any team, and Roland Chase was as competent and efficient a holder of that position as any Blue and Gold hockey team has ever had.

Page sixty-three

Mr. Watters

EASIKIETIBAl_t_

As the basketball season of 1932 drew near, prospects did not appear too bright. Only five members of the previous year's squad returned. Three of these men, however, were lettermen. They were Hawk, Sargent and Captain-Elect Clark. The hope of having a good club diminished even more when it was discovered, at the end of the fall term that Clark and Hawk were ineligible.

Coach Watters, not discouraged • by the handicap of poor material, proceeded to teach the fundamentals of the game to a green squad.

Tig Craig, former Easthampton High School star, soon proved himself worthy of a forward position. Henry Sargent alternated at center with Falconer, while Scofield played a guard. McEwan and Latham, products of Williston minor teams of last year, played the remaining forward and guard positions, respectively. Henry Sargent was unanimously elected captain of the team to replace the ineligible Clark.

To start the season, Williston played several practice games with local teams. These contests provided an excellent opportunity to try out material before the official schedule started.

On January 9th, the team played the first official contest of the season against Hopkins Academy. We were successful and won the game, 17-13.

South Hadley High School was our next opponent. They also went down to defeat by the score of 30-16. McEwan and Latham featured for Williston in this contest.

After winning its first two games, Williston was defeated but not outclassed by Bay Path Institute of Springfield, one of the best teams in the valley. Williston, to the surprise of the over-confident opponents, held an eight-point lead at the end of the half, but the Institute boys were too strong for our team, and they came back strong to win the game in the final quarter.

On Wednesday, January 20th, American International College of Springfield visited the Williston gym and lost an easy verdict to a smoothworking Blue and Gold team.

Cushing Academy defeated a much smaller Williston team on the Cushing floor, 24-11. They presented an almost impenetrable zone defense well adapted to the narrow Cushing court.

Tig Craig cut loose and played his best game of the season on January 27th, when he led Williston to a victory over Northampton Commercial College. This was the first victory we had won from the Northampton team in over three years.

Kingswood School of Hartford was added to our increasing list of victories. They managed to hold us even for the first half, while Williston played the poorest brand of basketball it showed all season. The Blue and Gold, however, came back strong to win a 24-9 decision.

We played Deerfield on their new floor, and they returned the visit two weeks later. They captured both contests by decisive scores. Williston showed great spirit and played hard all the time, but was unable to check Sheehan and Turner, the Deerfield stars.

Amherst Freshmen managed to nose us out in a thrilling contest by a score of 25-24. Latham scored 16 of Williston's 24 points.

vStockbridge and Wilbraham fell before Williston's well-coached team. Bill McEwan led Williston to the Wilbraham victory with 12 points. Worcester closed our basketball season by defeating us 38-18. Frigard and McGovern starred as their team captured a hard-earned win over a fighting home team.

Although the season's record shows seven wins and eight defeats, we consider the team a success. The 1932 team showed a fighting spirit and co-ordination which has been lacking in previous years. This year is the first time in several years that a Williston basketball team has approached the 500 per cent mark.

For the coming season, McKenney was chosen manager, and Craig Was elected captain.

IBASIEUALL

At the opening of the spring term, a large number of baseball candidates reported to Mr. Watters, but most of them were lacking in previous experience, and the coach had a squad of green players to labor with. By hard work and constant practice, however, he managed to build up a fairly successful combination, which, at this writing, has won four of its eight games.

The infield was shifted a number of times, due to injuries and the ineligibility of several players. Dick Hawk and Larry Peterson alternated at first with honors about even. Mel McGonnigle, who came out as a pitcher, was used at second base because of his heavy hitting, and Carlos Marcial and Dana Devereux saw service at the keystone sack when he was in the box. Tig Craig started at short and Bill Dyer at third, but Tig became ineligible at mid-season, so Bill moved over to short and Tex Gaylor covered the hot corner.

The outfield was changed with almost every game. Fred Marcial was used regularly in center, and Dick Parker was usually in right or left. Mike Baranowski, Ted Scofield, and Andy Conway also saw plenty of service at various outfield positions.

Page sixty-eight

119ASEUAIL1

The battery was composed of Graham Clark, Ted Scofield, and Tony Santaella, all catchers, each of whom was used a good deal, and Frank Luszy and Mel McGonnigle, pitchers. Captain Bill de Place, also a pitcher, injured his knee early in the season and was consequently unable to take an active part in any of the games.

So far we have done only fairly well, but the nine has shown great improvement, and we may well expect the team to show a more impressive record for the remainder of the schedule.

TIRACE

When, at the close of the Spring vacation, the candidates for track lined up before Mr. Putnam, there were but two lettermen among them —Hennie Sargent and Billy McEwan. These two, however, were veterans upon whom great reliance could be placed; and, moreover, there was much good material capable of development. After only a few days of hard and enthusiastic work, it became evident that Coach Putnam was going to be able to build up a squad which would prove formidable.

Development, nevertheless, was slow, and the first meet found the Blue and Gold not yet prepared to cope with Cushing, who won a decisive victory by a score of 63 to 53. During the next week the boys found themselves, and Suffield faced an aggregation undaunted by its previous defeat and better prepared for the struggle, which ended in a 65 2/3 to 51 1/3 victory for Williston. In this meet we took nine first places, McEwan, Sargent, Gaughan and King each winning two, and Williams one.

Page seventy

TIRACV

On May 11, in the meet with Wilbraham, a still better showing was made, Williston winning by a score of 49 1/2 to 31 1/2. In this meet King and Gaughan took two firsts each, and McEwan captured one first and tied with Wakelin for another.

Our evident steady progress leads us to hope that in the remaining meets of the year, Williston's 1932 track team will continue its good work and reward with consistent victory the untiring efforts of Coach Putnam, Mr. Peterson and Mr. Hyde, all of whom have done so much toward making this year's record one of which Captain McEwan and all Williston may be proud.

TIE NNIS

This year the tennis team returned from the Easter vacation to face a long and difficult schedule. With four veterans, Captain Lockwood, Toon, Emerson, and Treadway as a nucleus, Coach Galbraith lost no time in getting practice sessions under way. Favored with good weather, the team was in good condition to meet Worcester Classical High School, our first opponent. They were easily defeated 7-2, and the match afforded Coach Galbraith an opportunity to use Pillsbury, Thompson, Drake, and Dodge in the singles and doubles of the last two positions.

Next, a 9-0 win was scored over Turners Falls High School, following which a four man team composed of Toon, Lockwood, Emerson, and Treadway, playing in the order named, defeated Suffield 6-0. The next match with the Springfield College Freshmen, Williston won 5-2, although the first and third doubles were called off because of snow flurries.

After playing the first four rather easy matches, the team met a superior Williams Freshman team and were defeated 8-1. Lon Emerson, who has been undefeated for two years, nosed out his opponent and prevented a 9-0 defeat. Although the Cushing match was rained out, good weather enabled the team to beat Wilbraham, 8-0.

TENNIS

The fifth and sixth positions have finally been assigned to Thompson and Gilchrist, who also team up well as the third doubles team. The first and second doubles teams composed of Toon and Treadway, and Captain Lockwood and Emerson are practically interchangeable, with the Toon-Treadway combination having a slight edge on the latter so far.

The season is a little more than half over, and since the team has improved with each match, the second half of the schedule may be viewed with optimism. Although we have yet to meet Worcester and Deerfield, the team is looking forward to giving those schools a real battle.

THE ATIFILIETIC AIDVISCUY 13CA121)

The Athletic Advisory Board, consisting of four faculty members and four students, is an organization whose purpose is to govern and direct the athletics of the school. It has two principal duties: first, to award the letters won in organized sports, and, second, to appoint team managers.

TUE STUDENT CCUNCIL

The Student Council, one of Williston's most important organizations, is a group of students, selected on the basis of high character and integrity, who act as the student governing board of the school. Their duty is to maintain and, if possible, to raise the standards of school life, by smoothing out minor difficulties that occur from time to time in the student body. In spite of the fact that its work is perhaps the most trying as well as least appreciated of that of any group in the school, the council functions quietly and efficiently, and does much to improve the general morale of student life.

The council's field of activity has to do largely with minor cases of discipline and advice, in which it aims to help fellow students in every possible way, and at the same time to adjust conditions and individual attitudes, so that infractions may be made as scarce as possible. The minor penalties that are occasionally recommended are resorted to with the idea that such means may obviate the more serious difficulties with the faculty. By these constructive and preventive methods, this organization tends to unite the student body and faculty in a more common bond of understanding than might otherwise be possible. Thus the council, whose work is based on a sympathetic desire to act impartially and for the good of the school, keeping in mind Williston standards and traditions, has, during the past year, filled a place of recognized importance in the organizations of the school.

A place on the Student Council is one of the enviable honors which can come to a student at Williston. Necessary requirements for membership are good scholarship, honesty, refinement of conduct, generosity, fairness, and an all-around fine character.

Under the competent leadership of President Henry Sargent the council has worked faithfully and impartially, and has done its best to act in accordance with the high standards set by the councils of past years.

May next year's council carry out their important duties with the same helpful spirit that has characterized the work of the 1931-32 council, every member exercising his influence for the further advancement of Williston's welfare.

11-11E Y.M.C.A. CAUINET

The "Y" Cabinet, under the able leadership of Mr. Granniss, is the most important social agency in Williston. It maintains the "Y" room, in which are combined a lounging room, a library and a recreation hall. It gives membership in the national Y. M. C. A. to every fellow in the school as well as providing occasional speakers of great interest. The true aim of the Cabinet, however, is to uplift the spiritual and social tone of the student body and to develop in it a strong and genuine school spirit.

Commencing the year's activities with a reception for the new boys at the home of Principal Galbraith, the "Y" carried through a very successful program of events. The annual buck party and the Hallowe'en pow wow were tremendously successful, and both were marked with an enthusiastic spirit of co-operation.

At the end of every term, the "Y" fosters a banquet at Payson Hall, held in honor of the athletic teams. These banquets have been the scene of many spirited gatherings of Williston men.

In its religious work the "Y" has not only continued, but tremendously improved the discussion groups. These gatherings are purely informal, thus giving to every boy an unusual opportunity to discuss whatever subject or problem might interest him. Social and religious questions, school life, morals, and the Bible were the topics discussed this past year.

The "Y" Cabinet also deserves no small amount of credit for its charity work in raising funds and distributing them, especially among local families made destitute by this year's depression.

In addition to its social and welfare work, the "Y" Cabinet sent Perry Phelps and Roland Chase to the New England Prep School "Y" Conference at Yale. It is also planned to send some delegates to the annual Blairstown Conference held at Blairstown, New Jersey, in the spring. Page eighty

CAMMAISIGNA

The season of 1931-32 was one of the most successful seasons ever enjoyed by Gamma Sigma. Whereas in previous years the burden of debating for the honor of the society rested on the shoulders of a very small minority, this year the society was very fortunate in having an excellent group of men fully capable of upholding its traditions as a debating society.

The big event of the year for Gamma Sigma was the winning of the inter-society debate with Adelphi. The question was: "Resolved, That All Allied Debts Contracted During the World War should be cancelled". Gamma Sigma, represented by her two most capable speakers, S. Polland Brill and Philip Groesbeck, upheld the negative and was awarded a unanimous decision by the judges.

Mr. McDonald

This year's executive staff was composed of Fred Groesbeck, president; James Whipple, secretary, and Lloyd Vibberts, treasurer.

tIDEIIDIlI

The Adelphi Debating Society has experienced a most interesting and successful season in spite of the fact that it lost the annual Gamma Sigma-Adelphi debate. Every Friday evening the members assembled in the club room, and a most remarkable degree of interest and enthusiasm was exhibited throughout the entire year. Many interesting discussions, open to the whole school, on pertinent questions of the day took place at these meetings, and proved to be of great concern to all those present.

Adelphi's position as a promoter of social functions was by no means small either, as it sponsored several highly successful dances both alone and in collaboration with Gamma Sigma. President Fred Hayward was succeeded by Howard Unkelbach, who, with his ever-ready wit and enthusiasm has been largely, responsible for the prominence of Adelphi at Williston during the season of 1931-32.

LOG EXECUTIVE BOARD

TUE LIDG

This year the Log board has been organized differently than it ever has been before. In the first place, the board is unusually large. The purpose of having a large board is to secure greater interest in the book among the students, to divide more evenly the large amount of work necessary to produce an annual, and to give elementary training to un- derclassmen who may prove to be valuable men for the following year's Log.

The annual's affairs are controlled by an executive board instituted for the first time this year, which has enabled the staff to work together systematically towards a definite goal. The board is composed of the editor-in-chief and two associates, and the business manager and his two associates.

Dana Devereux, as editor-in-chief, has spent an immeasurable amount of time in attempting to make the book a success. His associates, Ted Wick and Leonard Mead have also worked hard and have co-op- erated with the editor.

Ralph Cockroft, in handling the Log's finances, has done a creditable job by making the Log pay in an unusually bad economic year. He was admirably assisted by Richard Turpisch and John Gunn, the associate business managers.

Above all is the guiding hand of Mr. Johnston who, as faculty adviser, first of all organized the board and started it moving, and then exercised a steadying influence over its affairs, that was truly invaluable.

The board is also greatly indebted to Mr. Hyde for his timely aid and advice in connection with the art department.

In closing may we say that the entire staff has worked diligently and has put forth an earnest endeavor to make a successful Log.

TUE WILLIS-IONIAN

A greater interest has been manifested during the production of the Willistonian in the past year. From a paper primarily the 'product of two or three ambitious writers, it has developed into a periodical to which a greatly increased active staff has contributed much in attaining the hertofore unprecedented heights it has now reached. The able guidance of its editor, Foord, is no doubt responsible for a portion of this success since he has, with untiring effort, developed new contributors, inspecting and supervising their work, and eventually obtaining most gratifying results.

Acting in advisory capacities, Mr. Winship and Mr. Johnston have done much to iron out the wrinkles of difficulty in the management of this journal, Mr. Winship lending a capable hand in the editorial department and Mr. Johnston efficiently aiding the business department.

Concerning the value of this year's publication, it may be stated that, throughout the year, the paper has been an effective instrument in dealing with and in discussing the problems which arise in the course of a school year. The various columns of the paper including the new "Athletics" column and the likewise new section entitled "This'n That" have afforded much genuine pleasure to those who have taken the time to peruse them carefully.

Thus, in handing on the Willistonian to those who will assume its duties for the coming year, we wish to congratulate this year's staff for the truly fine work they have accomplished and, at the same time, express our keenest desire and best wishes for the Willistonian of the future.

ACTIVITIUS

WILLISTON 1930

Williston's newest building is a beautiful, and fully equipped athletic building, which provides exercising facilities of all kinds, as well as lounging rooms, a library, an exhibition room, and a stage. This building was made possible by donations received from a large percentage of Williston alumni.

THE GI_EE CILUI13

Under the able direction of Mr. Charles E. Rouse, and with the indispensable instrumental accompaniment of Mr. Frederick Hyde, the Williston Glee Club, which began its practice in the autumn of 1931, has attained, through a number of weeks of practice, a remarkable ability for organized singing and has acquired the power not only of the reproduction of music accurately, but also of lending a certain amount of effectiveness and expression to the rendition of music. Improving gradually and surely, the club inaugurated its series of concerts by a formal recital at the Town Hall in Easthampton. A second program was rendered at Skinner's Coffee House in Holyoke, Mass.

Gaining strength and beauty of tone by serious and enthusiastic practice, the Glee Club finally approached the main concert of the year, the annual Williston-Worcester Glee Club concert meeting at Worcester Academy on Friday, the twenty-first day of April, and at Williston Academy on the following evening, both the Worcester and the Williston Clubs showed the heights which both organizations had attained in their ability to sing selections which had not been rehearsed together prior to the day of the concert itself. That which made their task even more demanding of ingenuity was the fact that while singing together, either one or the other of the two organizations was directed by a leader with whose methods it was not familiar.

To add variety to the program, a number of southern plantation songs were sung by a quartet of Worcester fellows, and a saxophone solo was rendered by Charles Blanchard of Williston, all of which helped to make the concerts so thoroughly successful, both here and at Worcester.

The joint concert was not only a benefit to the members of the clubs of both schools by the experience it afforded them, but it also created a spirit not of rivalry, but of co-operation between both organizations.

THIE CIRCHIESTIVA

The student body should be well satisfied with the pleasing and melodious entertainment provided by the "Williston Preps" at their numerous and successful appearances throughout the school year.

Under the leadership of de Place, the members, Blanchard, Mead, Robertson, Macek and Hurd, having had no experience playing together before, were organized into a single and rhythmic body. They were greatly hampered by the lack of instrumentation and must, therefore, be given greater credit because of the difficult orchestrations they played, which called for more instruments than were represented. At the beginning of the year, the reed section was upheld by Blanchard, Macek and Mead, having only one brass, played by Robertson. Later, however, Blanchard played the trumpet, thereby maintaining two brass instruments and two saxophones. At times, especially during the final choruses of certain numbers, Mead gave added volume to the brass by playing the trombone. Further variation was given by Macek and Mead playing clarinet duets. A goodly share of the credit is due "Bill" de Place, whose wise choice of numbers and excellent work at the piano, especially in maintaining the desired rhythm, added immeasurably to the pleasing effect. This year completes "Bill's" fourth year of playing the piano for the unit, and "Ken" Hurd's third year at the drums.

The orchestra made its appearance at all the important social functions of the year, playing at the tea dances, the Dramatic Club presentations, and at the various banquets held during the year. Only constant and zealous practice made these appearances possible, and the members deserve considerable credit for their diligence.

WILLISTON•WOUCESTEIV SYMIIIDCSIUM

This year an entirely new practice was followed in the WillistonWorcester debates; during the past years debates were held here and at Worcester with a trio of judges choosing the winning team. With this eventful decision the main object in view, there was perhaps a slight tendency on the part of the debaters to lose sight of the real object of debating, which is to present both sides of the question sincerely and fully with a sincere desire to know the truth and to help solve the problem in hand. This year, at the suggestion of Mr. Harold H. Wade of Worcester, the two debates were given in the form of a symposium, with no judges' decision at the close of the speeches. In place of this, the audience was to be asked to render its decision on the relative merits of the Question.

The topic debated upon was: "Resolved, That the best way to prepare for Peace Is to Prepare for War". Williston was represented at Worcester by Robert D. Brown, Philip F. Groesbeck, and Richard H. Hawk, upholding the negative. At the symposium held here, John M. Avery Jr., Frederick D. Meehan, and C. Howell Otis contended on the affirmative side of the question. The audience at.Worcester voted predominantly for the affirmative, while the audience here showed a decided preference for the negative. All the speakers on both sides, both here and at Worcester, handled their arguments very effectively, both debates proving unusually interesting and beneficial, to speakers and audience alike.

Mr. Cobb

This year the Dramatic Club entered into the thirteenth and undoubtedly the most successful year of its existence in the school. The one-act plays which were chosen for the Fall production were a variety of comedies which were successfully produced under the capable leadership of Messrs. Cobb, Boardman, and Taylor. The latter, although doing his first work for the Williston Dramatic Club directed with the skill of a veteran.

Owing to the late opening of the school, the Fall plays were not presented until Saturday, December 21st. The three plays were, "The Flash" by Charles McMullen, "The Robbery" by Clare Kummer and "Trash" by Lord Thanhauser. The first of these by Mr. Taylor was a melodrama in which a young man recently out of jail tries to get revenge on his brother by stealing a necklace from him. The brothers meet and then past difficulties are reconciled by a friendy doctor, who, in a rather surprising climax calmly walks out with the necklace, announcing that he is "Jimmy the Flash", a noted thief of the neighborhood. The part of the congenial, good-natured doctor was excellently portrayed by Henry Taylor. Howard Lockwood successfully acted the part of "Joe" McGregor. Arthur Hamel played the part of Kenneth McGregor, the nervous, high-strung brother of "Joe".

The second play on the program, "The Robbery", was ably directed by Mr. Boardman. This was a comedy which developed when Mr. and Mrs. Upton decide to take the wrong suitcase. "Edie" Upton, the daughter, alone in the house at midnight, hears a noise and discovers that the silver is missing. Her screams bring a young neighbor, Robert Hamilton, to her house. He is alone with her when Mr. and Mrs. Upton, realizing their mistake, return home. The enraged Mr. Upton soon quiets down and takes Mr. Hamilton home. The two feminine roles were played by Malcolm Creighton as "Edie" Upton and George Hill as Mrs. Upton, the calm, good-natured woman. The eccentric, erratic, nervous head of the family was well acted by Donald Cook. Stuart Dillon played the part of Robert Hamilton with equal success.

Page ninety-eight

The final play was an interesting drama, excellently directed by Mr. Sumner Cobb, who played the role of a cop, and exhibited his usual impressive acting. Archie Foord impersonated a tramp who meets a young boy on a park bench. The boy is seeking adventure and plans to become a robber, but is persuaded to return home by the tramp. The kid was played by Fred Hayward, who gave a very realistic representation of this character.

These plays, which were entirely successful, accomplished their main purpose in obtaining the best talent in the school for the objective play of the year, the winter play. This performance is always looked forward to by the student body because the participants do their utmost perfection in acting.

Mr. Taylor to obtain

This year, "Captain Applejack" by Walter Hackett was chosen. This three-act comedy was nobly directed by Mr. Boardman, who by hard, diligent work molded it into a drama which turned out to be one of the most successful of the past few years. The lead of the play was superbly carried by Mr. Cobb, who presented a performance worthy of the highest praise. His interpretation of Ambrose Applejohn, a gentleman who wishes to seek adventure, but who before long finds out that he has more than he is able to cope with in his own home, was nothing less than remarkable.

Richard Treadway did an excellent piece of work in the female interpretation of Anna Valeska, a woman who comes to Ambrose Applejohn disguised as a Russian dancer but whose main purpose is to obtain a valuable piece of parchment. Malcolm Creighton played the feminine role of Miss Poppy Faire, a ward of Ambrose Applejohn, with great dexterity. Philip Groesbeck gave an unusually fine performance of Mrs. Agatha Whatcombs, a high-strung, highly sensitive old woman. Archie Foord portrayed the character of Ivan Borolsky with a great deal of skill. Borolsky pretended to be a Russian spy but was really in league with Anna Valeska, his wife. Together they weave a tight mesh, from which Mr. Applejohn finds much difficulty in extricating himself. Howard Lockwood fulfilled the character of Horace Pengard, while Innes MacCammond excellently portrayed the part of Mrs. Pengard. Likewise, Stuart Dillon, Donald Cook, Howard Unkelbach and the pirates, who appeared in Act Two, performed like practiced veterans.

An immeasurable amount of credit is due Bruce Bonner, who worked quietly and efficiently in the capacity of stage manager, for without him, the production of the plays would have been truly impossible.

TUE CI-IFEUING SCUALID

An organized cheering squad was somewhat of an innovation in Williston this year. Both the Student Council and the "Y" Cabinet, realizing the need for more organized cheering, fostered the assembling of a new squad, which would function as a separate organization. Try-outs were conducted which resulted in C. Howell Otis, Philip Groesbeck, Howard Unkelbach, Robert Hannum and Ted Wick being chosen as cheer leaders. These five then unanimously selected Unkelbach for their captain.

The value of this organization in raising the morale and spirit of the school as a whole can hardly be overestimated. "Pep rallies" were conducted by the squad in chapel on the days of the various athletic contests which succeeded in arousing spirit among the teams and students. Then, too, at the games, there was a noticeable increase in enthusiasm and organized cheering due to their efforts.

Considering the excellent results produced, these five boys deserve only the highest praise.

JUNICIR SCI-10C1

For a time last fall it looked as though we might not have a Junior School this year. The financial depression, combined with the epidemic of infantile paralysis so reduced the enrollment that when we finally assembled, early in October, we had our smallest school in ten years. This, too, at a time when we had brought together the strongest teaching corps we ever had. An ancient and much quoted expression, "It is an ill wind that blows nobody good", describes the situation. Counting the part time teachers of drawing, dancing, woodworking and music, the faculty has been numerically one-half as large as the school. The boy who cannot maintain a satisfactory standing under such conditions is probably not the kind of material of which scholars are made.

We are hoping for a larger enrollment this coming year for the principal reason of having a Junior School at Williston is to send well-prepared boys to the Upper School who will remain there for four years. A small Junior School means a small Junior class in the Upper School.

At present the number of boys in the Academy who have received a part of their preparation in the Junior School is greater than the total Junior School roster and represents approximately twenty-two percent of the academy enrollment.

Notwithstanding the small school, the basketball team was one of the best in the history of the school. And, strange as it may sound, the dancing class was the largest we have ever had, having a total enrollment of sixty boys and girls. Mr. and Mrs. Mooney deserve much credit for the skill they have shown in handling so large a class.

The mild weather in December and January was disappointing to the hockey enthusiasts as we did not succeed in getting a good surface on our skating rink. The heavy snowfall in February gave us some days of good coasting and skiing, however.

As this is being written we are looking forward to the spring vacation. Following the vacation a few short weeks of baseball, tennis, and classroom reviews will bring the school year of 1932 to a close. In spite of the numerous handicaps under which we were working, we can only say that this has, in truth, been a most successful year.
