DEDICATION TO FREDERICK BILL HYDE, A. B.

whose sincerity and friendliness have won him a high place in our esteem, we respectfully 1 1•dedicate"TheLog."

FOREWORD

As students at Williston we attend the school for a few years and then graduate. Our years here may seem to us to be many, but in reality, they are few as compared with the 96 years that the school has been in existence. In our brief stay many changes both within the school and outside take place. We accept these changes and frequently do not realize how great they are.

In an effort to show you how much the school has really changed, we have taken as our theme "The Old and The New." The contrasting pictures found on each of the divisional pages illustrate this thought.

When in future years our schooldays have become a memory, it will be of interest to turn the pages of our year book and recall our teachers, our classmates, our teammates, and the high spots of the school year. Perhaps these are all too fresh in our minds at present, but in a few years they will become dim memories. It is then that we shall most appreciate THE LOG.

The staff of THE LOG has put in many hours of work in an attempt to publish a book of which Williston will be justly proud. Having capitalized on both the good and the bad points of previous year books and having included some new and interesting features, THE LOG committee is presenting to you a book with which they are glad to be associated, in belief that the material contained is a complete picture of the life at Williston in 1936-37.

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE...

THE LOG performs a useful,—almost an indispensable function in recording a pictorial history of the school year. It presents a lively survey of a year full of pleasant memories, and in the years to come will keep our imaginations from straying too far from reality.

To those whose labors have created the LOG, I offer my congratulations.

To the Seniors, who in it sing their swan song, I offer my best wishes and I assure them of my continuing affectionate interest.

ROBERT ARNOLD

29 Crandall Street

Adams, Massachusetts College: Amherst

"Bob"

•"Bob's" concentration is something to be marveled at. Not even a drop-forge, working at full blast beside him, could disrupt his studying. "Bob" shows results, too. He has continually won high honors for his excellent work in difficult subjects. The Glee Club is certainly fortunate in having as devoted a vice president as Robert. Besides acting in this capacity, "Bob" has won applause wherever he has gone with his bass solos. If diligent careful work is a sign of future success, he will go a long Way,

second year;

CRAIG W. BAKER

13 Tillingham Avenue

Menands, New York College: Lehigh

"Craig"

•One of the merriest of that rough-riding crew from Ford, Craig is well-liked everywhere on the campus. He is also one of those lucky fellows who can wear clothes. It is generally conceded that he is one of the most fashionably dressed boys in school.

He is a football player of no mean ability and has acquired, as every football player does, a classy blonde. She goes to Mt. Holyoke and is one of the prettiest.

Entered fourth year; Football 4; Hockey 4; Track 4.

"Dick"

•A quiet fellow, a scholar, and a real boy probably sums up Dick. During his stay at Williston, he has worked faithfully and diligently, frequently being on the honor and privilege lists. Though usually a quiet, unassuming boy, Dick takes part in some of the harmless escapades of the fourth floor gang of North Hall. Notwithstanding, he is liked by everyone for his cheery smile and his cheerful manner. Short and stocky, he was a letter man on the football team, being a very capable punter. Good luck to you, Dick, in your college career. We know that you will succeed.

Entered fourth year; Football 4; Track 4; Glee Club 4.

JOHN R. BARRY

241 South Main Street

Bradfield, Massachusetts College: Middlebury

ROBERT C. BARTHOLOMEW

Garrochales, Puerto Rico

College: Undecided

"Bob"

e"Bob" seems to be Puerto Rico's gift to Williston Academy and Chemistry. He has created no little stir with his anecdotes of the West Indies, and "Bob" always can find an eager audience. Photography is one of his weaknesses, and he and his camera are a familiar sight about the campus. He has been doing well in Chemistry, and more than once his name has been listed well among the leaders. "Bob" may also be given credit for proving himself to be a fine skater, even though he has never skated before this year. Good luck, Bob! (Or should we say "Aloha"?)

Entered fourth year.

BENJAMIN S. BEAN

Keith Hill Road

Grafton, Massachusetts College: W. P. I.

"Benny"

•"Benny" is one of those rare individuals who takes delight in going for long bicycle rides in order to commune with nature. He belongs to the "Open Road," and every clear day the old bike is hauled out to make the rounds. "Benny" is a familiar figure about the Chem laboratory, where he has proved himself to be a valuable assistant. Not only that, he made the first squad in baseball, and made a name for himself. "Benny" may be summed up nicely by—a microscope, a bicycle, and one swell fellow.

Entered fourth year; Glee Club 4; Dramatic Club 4; Baseball 4.

JAMES R. BELL, Jx.

8 Roxbury Avenue

Natick, Massachusetts College: Bowdoin

"Jim"

•Two years ago, Jim Bell was a very quiet, unassuming boy who went about his business of studying in a very efficient way. Last year, toward the end of school, Jim was elected to the Student Council and in that way broke into the limelight. He is respected for his honest, quiet, and cheerful manner around the campus.

Jim is one of the great fraternity of motorboat fanciers and is quite a fan on the subject.

Wherever Jim may go to college, he will be a success because of his stick-to-it-iveness.

Entered third year; Student Council 4; Log Board 4; Managing Editor 4; Orchestra 4; Tennis 4; Flag Committee 4.

f

"Jerry"

•Jerry is a first-class student. While here at Williston, he avoided extra-curricular activities, so that he could apply himself to his studies. The result was that he became one of the Cum Laude boys. He likes to putter around with machinery of all kinds, besides having as his pet hobbies, riding and shooting.

We will hear a lot of Jerry in later years as we know he will work then as hard and faithfully as he has here.

Entered fourth year; Glee Club 4; Cum Laude.

GERALD J. BIBEAULT

5 Smith Street

Putnam, Connecticut College: W. P. I.

BERNARD S. BRINDIS

54 North Avenue

Haverhill, Massachusetts College: Yale

"Red"

•"Red" has a wide range of character. He can be the jolliest, silliest person on earth one minute, and the next be the soberest, most earnest individual ever created. Maybe "Red" can't pull down the marks in English and French but with a ping-pong paddle in his hand, he is as formidable an opponent as can be found. Is there anyone he hasn't taken over? "Red" is a very fast runner too. His most remarkable time was made running from the gym to Room 2, Ford Hall one wintry night.

Entered third year; Glee Club 4; Log 4; Tennis 4.

ROGER S. BRUCE

11 Daskam Place

Stamford, Connecticut

College: Yale

"Brucie"

•Brucie, as Roger is popularly known, has, among other things, been a letter man for two years in soccer. Many a game would have been lost were it not for his steady, driving playing. A capable actor, Brucie played on the boards with the Dramatic Club, having important parts in the big productions. He is another of the great fraternity of amateur photographers and is a very good one.

We all hope you succeed at Yale, Brucie, and may the best of luck go with you.

Entered third year; Dramatic Club 3, 4; "Y" Cabinet 4; Log 4; Soccer 3, 4; Track 3, 4.

CLEMENT F. BURR

289 Main Street

Easthampton, Massachusetts

College: Massachusetts State 4251.

"C/eminy"

•Clem is one of the chief survivors of the small band that started out four years ago. In his first year he displayed unusual scholastic ability and has been on the honor roll throughout his four years here.

He is also one of the best looking boys in school and has a most amiable and friendly disposition. Clem has always been interested in the sea and plans to enter the Coast Guard Service. Doubtless, a uniform will enhance his pleasling countenance until the fair sex find him quite irresistible. He has always been noted for his quiet manner, but since he has received his new "Chevvie," rumor has it that he does considerable batting around.

Entered first year; Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4; Willistonian 2; "Y" Cabinet 3, 4; Log 4; Soccer 3, 4.

"Howie"

• One of the most popular and respected boys in school this year is Howie Cann. Hailing from New Jersey, Howie wields a tennis racquet as though he had been born with one in his hand. He is also a very excellent actor and an all-round athlete. Graduation claims him this June. We're sorry to see him leave. His wide smile and frank personality will long be remembered.

Entered third year; Dramatic Club 4; Tennis 3, 4; Co-Captain 4; Soccer 4; Athletic Advisory Board 4; Chairman Prom Committee 4.

HOWARD W. CANN, JR.

363 Parker Street

Newark, New Jersey

College: Univ. of Pennsylvania

CHARLES E. CHAPMAN

8 Ingraham Road

Wellesley, Massachusetts.

College: Syracuse University

"Charlie"

•A dash of photography; two shakes of a bicycle ride; a pair of track shoes—here is the recipe for a Chapman cocktail. "Chappie" finds untold pleasure in a bicycle ride to "Hamp" or thereabouts, and he and bicycle are practically synonymous. Photography is another hobby of "Chappie's." Who hasn't seen some of his masterpieces at one time or another? As for track, Chapman is a distance runner, and Coach Putnam was very pleased with his work. Possessing his many attributes, "Chappie" will be a success in later life, we are sure.

Entered fourth year; Dramatic Club 4; Track 4.

JOHN L. COLE

56 Engle Street

Tenafly, New Jersey

College: Yale

"Johnny"

•John came here in his senior year and immediately started doing things and going places. Besides being a letter man on the soccer team, he played very creditably with our valley league championship basketball team. As if these accomplishments weren't enough, Jack found enough time to study hard and was elected to the Cum Laude Society. He is generally acknowledged to be the table-tennis champion of North Hall and he certainly lives up to his reputation. We hate to see Jack go, for his good humor and cheerful manner have won him the friendship of many.

Entered fourth year; Soccer 4; Glee Club 4; Basketball 4; Cum Laude; Tennis 4.

HAMLET COMINOLE

54 West 1 1th Avenue

Gloversville, New York

College: U. S. Coast Guard Academy i 27 l^

0 Babe, as this gentleman is known around the campus, met with bad luck right off the bat during the football season. A crack player, he was injured in a game and was forced to withdraw from playing for the rest of the season. This accident, however, did not prevent him from gaining a berth in Cum Laude, which he did very easily. Listening to popular music is one of his pastimes and anyone in North will testify that he has a natural rhythm in his soul.

Babe made many friends in his one year's stay at Williston and we know that he will do the same wherever he may go to college.

Entered fourth year; Glee Club 4; Football 4; Cum Laude.

"Johnny"

•One's first impression of John is that he is a quiet, civil, and courteous boy — probably very serious. Strangely enough your first impression is correct.

"Johnny" is also recognized as one of the outstanding athletes in Williston. His hockey is characterized by hard but clean playing and he did much toward the success of the hockey season. He also plays tennis well above the average coach. Indeed so well that he was a semi-finalist in the Rye Tournament last summer. Here's to hard ice, John!

Entered third year; Hockey 3, 4; Football 4; Tennis 3, 4; Co-Captain 4.

JOHN P. DAVENPORT

40 Edgewood Avenue

Longmeadow, Massachusetts

College: Middlebury

RICHARD K. DEY

17 Mangus Avenue

Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts

College: Undecided

"Dick" - "Wolf"

•Few fellows in the school have a more even temperament than Dick. Despite his various nicknames of Wolf, Killer, and Slugger, he really possesses none of the traits which these appellations connote. He is one of the bulwarks on the gridiron, but his greatest athletic prowess is on the hockey rink. Even on an undefeated hockey sextet, his scoring ability made him prominent. Dick discovered very late in the school year that he didn't have enough credits for graduation; he is determined, however, to get his sheepskin and is returning to Williston for another year.

Entered second year; Hockey 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4.

MAX J. EISNER

69 Commonwealth Ave.

Pittsfield, Massachusetts College: Univ. of Pennsylvania

"Maxie"

•"My Mother calls me John; the boys call me Max, but I like to be called `Bud'." 0. K., "Bud," you certainly have been a swell classmate, being prominent in many school activities. Besides playing varsity baseball and football for his two years here, he was dignified magistrate of the Williston Supreme Court, the Student Council. Hey, "Bud," you've been a swell fellow and a great friend to everyone, and you'll certainly be missed next year. So long and plenty of good luck.

Entered third year; Football 3, 4; Baseball 3, 4; Student Council 4; Belles Lettres 3; Log Board 4; Business Editor 4; Willistonian 3, 4; Chairman Coat Committee 4.

WILLIAM C. FLEMING

11 Revell Avenue

Northampton, Massachusetts College: Amherst

"Bill" - "Midge"

•Midge came to Williston from St. Michael's and soon proved himself to be one of the most versatile athletes in school. Those of us who have seen Midge in action on the soccer field will never forget seeing him stand on the goal line, booting the ball out of danger. He also played basketball and baseball with remarkable skill.

Athletic ability, however, is not his only strong point. Unusual diligence and very creditable intelligence have ranked him high in the scholastic scale of the school. Ample evidence of his popularity is his position as class president which he has maintained for two years.

Entered third year; Basketball 3, 4; Captain 3; Soccer 3, 4; Baseball 3, 4; Class President 3, 4.

•No one will ever forget Ev Foord. He set up an enviable record in extra-curricular activities and is "one of the best." The success of the Dramatic Club may be partially attributed to Ev, for during three years, he was one of the best stage managers that ever came to Williston. Besides this, he is an excellent track man, and is a member of both the "Y" Cabinet and the Student Council, which is a learned body of Seniors who preserve law and order on the campus.

With this fine record back of him, Ev is sure to be a success at Amherst, where he hopes to continue his studies next year.

Entered first year; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; President 4; Student Council 4; Co-President 4; "Y" Cabinet 4; Secretary 4; Willistonian 2; Track 2, 3, 4; Football Manager 2; Prom Committee 4.

EVERETT H. FOORD

South Street

Litchfield, Connecticut

College: Amherst

DANA C. FRANDSEN

35 Lincoln Avenue

Amherst, Massachusetts

College: Massachusetts State

"Franny"

•It was quite a while before Dana Frandsen was known to the school and then it was only because he was a fine backfield man of the varsity football team. He was a very quiet and reserved boy at first, but as the year wore on he became more and more accustomed to the school life. He is another table tennis player of repute and is often seen playing this game in the "Y" room in North, his dormitory.

At Massachusetts State, we know that Dana will succeed and we wish him the best of luck.

Entered fourth year; Football 4; Dramatic Club 4; Track 4.

DOUGLAS H. GALLAGHER

Minerva, New York

College: Undecided

SYLVAN A. GENTHNER

12 High Street

Warren, Massachusetts

College: W. P. I.

"Doug"

• Charles Atlas? Why no!

That's only "Doug" Gallagher. "Doug's" shirt certainly hides a marvelous pair of arms and shoulders. Bigger men than Gallagher have found out, much to their surprise, that it pays to let him pass in peace. If "Doug" doesn't turn professional strongman when he graduates, he'll probably take over the direction of General Motors, Inc., because what he doesn't know about automobiles, especially Buicks, hasn't been written yet. Whatever college he chooses, Minerva will have reason to be proud of him.

Entered fourth year.

"T wo-Gun"

•"Sam" hails from the good old town of Warren. He is greatly interested in mechanics, and has proved his ability by building a midget racer. Because of his collection of tools in his desk, which contains everything from pipe wrenches to jig-saw blades, he is known as Ford Hall's general handy-man. His main hobbies are racing cars and automobiles in general. He sings second bass in the Glee Club and is especially addicted to reading after lights. If the old saying, "Gentlemen prefer blondes," is true,"Sam" is an exception; he prefers the brunettes.

Entered fourth year; Glee Club 4.

•"Eddy" Goodman,one of Williston's many students to hail from the great metropolis of New York, has certainly spent three of the happiest and most profitable years of his life at Williston. He has held a major position in practically every important extra-curricular activity. Three years as a member of the "Willistonian" staff, three years as an outstanding member of the Dramatic Club, and serving meritoriously the "Log" and Adelphi-Gamma Sigma has, combined with his excellent academic record, prepared "Eddy" for Columbia next fall.

Entered second year; Willistonian 2, 3, 4; Adelphi-Gamma Sigma 3, 4; Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4; Log 2, 3, 4; Log Board 4.

EDWARD J. GOODMAN

19 East 88th Street

New York, New York College: Columbia -{ 32 1".

JOHN D. GOULD

2 0 Ocean Avenue

West Haven, Connecticut

College: Massachusetts State

"Red"

•John is one of that small band that started at Williston four years ago. He early chose the Glee Club as his favorite extracurricular activity and through the four years has been one of the mainstays of that organization. That he is well liked is shown by his position on the "Y" Cabinet and the Student Council. But every industrious soul has his moments of pensiveness. Recognizing a long-felt need, "Red" perfected a sure-fire method of getting to "Hamp."

No driver could resist his "Shuffle off to Buffalo." "Red" likes science and will probably major in this field.

Entered first year; Soccer 4; Basketball 3, 4; Track 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Student Council 4; "Y" Cabinet 4; Willistonian 2, 3.

ROBERT W. GRIFFIN

31 High Street

Woods Hole, Massachusetts College: Brown

"Bob"

•"Bob" had a few points to his credit when he entered Williston because his brother came here before him. However, "Bob" may rest on his own laurels. He was a promising end on the Canary football team, and his graduation is quite a loss to it. His favorite resting place is North Hall's room, where he finds relaxation in a few games of pingpong. "Bob" may be proud of himself, for he has rated highly in his German and Chemistry classes. If there are any other Griffins who are as fine students as "Bob," they will be highly welcome.

Entered fourth year.

NATHAN W. HALE

Oxford, Ohio College: Harvard (33).

"Nate" - "Zookie"

•With all the effect of a bomb, "Zookie" burst upon South Hall, four years ago. His reputation for fun and hare-brained schemes was made then and has thrived since. Not for nothing has he been called, "The Mad Monk of South." The Dramatic Club early recognized his abilities, and as a portrayer of character he has not been excelled. He is also one of the few excellent writers of Williston. Tufts or Harvard will welcome him.

Entered first year; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Secretary Class 4; Willistonian 3; Log 3.

"Dana"

•An ardent bicycling fan, Dana will be remembered by his many friends and they will be sorry to see him graduate. Nevertheless, he will make as good a record in college as he made here. He was a good scholar, but also a good athlete. On the soccer team, he performed very well. The "Y" Cabinet found in him a useful member. He is an automobile fiend and he is frequently found over at Smith, for he seems to be as popular with the fair sex as he is with the boys. Dana, good luck!

Entered third year; Willistonian 3, 4; "Y" Cabinet 4; Soccer 4; Track Manager 4; Log 4; Coat Committee 4.

W. HALLETT HODGES

30 Hillcrest Road

East Weymouth, Massachusetts

College: M. I. T.

"Hal"

•Ford's candid camerman, "Hal" Hodges, takes rank with the best of the virtuosos of this art. Hal's subjects cover everything. Landscapes, angle objects, and portraits are only a few of the many fields in which he excels. Besides photography, Hal likes squash and handball, and seldom a day passes that he can't be found in the gymnasium. When he isn't doing those things, he is repairing his means of transportation. We all believe that Hal will turn out to be a six-day bike rider.

Entered fourth year; Orchestra 4; Hockey 4.

7 Union Street Springfield, Vermont

College: Washington University

35 }.

"Jack"

•Next fall Washington University will open wide its portals for a youth who has, for the past three years, helped to make the campus here a happier place to live upon. Although Jack has never aspired to be a "model" student, he has successfully dabbled in many athletic pursuits and made himself well-known in many of the extra-curricula aspects of the school life without ever failing in the ever-present duty of accomplishing an academic foundation. So many have been his associations and so many his pleasing contacts that a prolonged, dolorous sigh will undoubtedly sweep our gymnasium as, with faltering step, he marches forth alone to receive his parchment.

Entered second year; Manager Basketball 3; Track 2, 3; Belles Lettres 2; Wiiiistonian 2, 3; Circulating Manager 3; Log 4; Associate Managing Editor 4; Williston-Worcester Debate 2.

"Red"

This year he moved over to North with his roommate and repeated his athletic achievements, captaining the hockey team also. He piloted the team to an undefeated season this year and contributed greatly to that record.

Springfield College will receive an excellent athlete and a gentleman when Red goes there, and he is certain to maintain a good record.

JOHN M. KELLEY

34 Hall Street

Williamstown, Massachusetts

College: Middlebury

"Johnny" - "Spot"

•A fighting Irishman is Spot Kelley, that little fellow who was a great player on the basketball team for two seasons. Besides this, he kept the baseball team continually on the go by his snappy playing at second base. The soccer team found in him a capable dribbler and fine forward, though the Irish in him was very apparent on some occasions. However, John is not always fighting, as the aforesaid description might lead one to believe. Spot is a likable fellow and many will be sorry to see him graduate this year. At Middlebury he will continue his studies and will surely succeed.

Entered third year; Football 3; Soccer 4; Basketball 3, 4; Baseball 3, 4; Gift Committee 4.

PETER V. KONARY

6 Palm Place

Brockton, Massachusetts

College: Harvard

"Pete"

•Pete's cheerful manner has made him a place in the hearts of many Williston boys. Though here for only a year, he performed creditably on the football and basketball teams.

Many of the pranks which take place in North would be incomplete without Pete. If Pete keeps on in college in the same way he has worked here, we know he will be a great success. Our loss will be the gain of whatever college he chooses to go to.

DONALD LADE

11 Glendale Street

Easthampton, Massachusetts

College: Dartmouth

"Donnie"

• Another town boy with a car is Donnie Lade, but that is hardly the reason for his popularity. He is a soft-spoken chap but his few words carry weight. "Don" is one of the stars of the basketball league and took first honors for scoring. Tennis and baseball may also be counted his strong points. One of the first elected to the honor society, Don is indeed deserving of the honor. "Take it easy, Don."

"Sid"

• Here is one of the boys who toot saxophones and clarinets in the school orchestra. It must be said that he is a very good master of both these instruments, turning out either sweet dance music or Tropic jazz with equal ease. Music does not take up all of his time, however. He worked faithfully during his one year's stay in North and will certainly keep up his fine record whereever he may go. Good luck, Sid.

Entered fourth year; Orchestra 4; Log 4.

JOHN E. LOEB

87 Whitney Avenue

New Haven, Connecticut College: Yale

"Johnny" - "Jake"

•When any mention is ever made of that great universal sport of horse racing and especially of the firm hold it has recently taken in this country, the name of Jake Loeb is distinctly connected in all its sporting gestures. Although Jake has been at Williston one year, he has left a record often envied by many of the four-year men. Taking great interest in the "Log" and "The Willistonian," receiving merit from the Belles Lettres society, and proving himself apt in the competitive sports of football and hockey, Jake will unquestionably depart to wider fields of glory when he enters Yale next fall.

Entered fourth year; Adelphi-Gamma Sigma 4; Vice President 4; Log 4; Willistonian 4.

JAN W. LONG

433 West 21st Street

New York City College: Haverford

JASON H. LOTOW

433 West End Avenue

New York City College: Univ. of Pennsylvania

•Jay did not let the extra-curricular activities at Williston take any time from his studies. He found time to be an honor student for both years of his stay, besides being a good hockey manager.

A fellow as popular as this boy will go far in future life and it is with regret that we see Jay go. However, all good things must come to an end so we wish Jay the best of luck, as we know he will succeed.

- "Bill"

•"Mac" was not unexpected at Williston. He is the third of a long line of McKenneys and has shown himself to be possessed of the usual McKenney characteristics. He soon associated himself with the Glee Club and has enjoyed the presidency of that well liked group. His abilities were not restricted to singing only, for he has contributed frequently to the "Willistonian," and this year has worked unstintedly as Editor-in-Chief. His unfailing good nature and generosity have made him a host of friends. Chemistry fascinates him and he plans to attend M. I. T.

Entered second year; Track 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; President 4; Willistonian 2, 3, 4; Editor-in-Chief 4; Worcester-Williston Debate 2.

College: Princeton

"Bill"

•Who will forget that irrepressible collector of Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey records? "Bill" is always enlarging on the merits of the latest recordings of these two masters of modern swing. His scholastic standing has not been impared by his hobby, however. During his three years here, he has turned in a record which would do credit to anyone. At Princeton he will surely make good and we wish him the best of success.

ROBERT C. MENSEL

319 Elm Street

Northampton, Massachusetts College: Dartmouth

"Bob"•Bob, old boy, there should only be more like you. An excellent student, everybody's friend, and a capable athlete. Bob is classified as one of the best looking fellows in our senior class. His being a "Hamp" boy, his looks, besides his overwhelming personality, has made it possible for him to bring to our dances about the nicest looking girls we have seen. There is no doubt, Bob, that you will be tops at Dartmouth, but everybody sincerely wishes you the best of luck anyway.

Entered third year; Glee Club 3; Basketball 3; Willistonian 3, 4; "Y" Cabinet 3, 4; Prom Committee 4.

"Bob"

•Bob came to Williston during the middle of the year, and he lost no time in proving himself to be a regular fellow. In his favorite hideout—the "Y" room at North Hall—he is content to hear the radio and read the current best sellers. Bob is wellknown for being quite a literary critic; and very often he and Chuck Rouse get together to "talk it over." We know that "Bob" will find no difficulty in forging ahead and so keep your eyes on the book reviews—"Bob" will, no doubt, be found there.

Entered fourth year.

THOMAS MOFFETT

894 Broadway

Brooklyn, New York College: Undecided

"Tom"

•Tom is the third generation of the Moffett family to attend Williston. During his four-year stay here, he was known around the campus for his good nature and excellent sense of humor. His last year here has proven his athletic ability, since he was elected co-captain of football. We were sorry to see Tom leave at mid-years, due to ill-health.

We are sure that you will succeed in the future, Tom, in whatever you may do.

Entered first year; Football 2, 3, 4; Co-Captain 4; Baseball 2; Track 3; Basketball 1, 2, 3; Athletic Advisory Board 3; Prom Committee; Log 4.

JOHN W. O'BRIEN

71 Pomeroy Terrace

Northampton, Massachusetts

College: Dartmouth

"jack"

•"Jack" is one of the best known fellows in school. His cheerfulness and his friendly smile plus the fact that he drives a big LaSalle have made him one of the most popular boys here.

Entered second year; Basketball Manager 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Willistonian 4.

EDWIN F. OSTROWSKI

1095 West Main Street

New Britain, Connecticut College: M. I. T.

"Ozzie"

•"Ozzie" is primarily interested in electricity and chemistry, and he is the source of a great deal of information for students of these difficult subjects. His range of interest, however, does not end here. "Ozzie" has his letter in track, soccer, and as manager of the hockey team. He is the intra-mural handball champion and an extremely good badminton player. "Ozzie" proudly claims the possession of the best victrola in Williston and does not hesitate to allow others to enjoy it. In spite of his knowledge of the sciences, Edwin intends to take up business as a career.

•"Sid" is another of the swing devotees and can tell anyone of the intricacies of the art. He is also considered one of the bestdressed seniors this year and certainly lives up to his reputation.

He, along with the rest of the gang in North, indulges in occasional escapades which are harmless withal. "Sid" can be counted on to keep up his good work and make a name for himself when he goes to college.

Entered fourth year; Willistonian 4; Dramatic Club 4.

FREDERICK W. RIGGS

32 Orleander Street

West Springfield, Massachusetts

College: Cornell

•"Freddy," who is the caveman type, is both physically and mentally well developed. We all know of his prowess as a wrestler, since he has mastered all the grips and holds. At Ford, he actively participated in the many harmless escapades, and so made himself a well-liked personality. "Freddy" sings as a second bass in the Glee Club, and he also has dabbled a bit in the field of Etymology. His good humor and genial personality show that "Freddy" has all the symptoms of being a success wherever he goes.

Entered fourth year; Glee Club 4; Log 4; Football 4; Track 4.

"Speed"

Schenectady, New York

College: University of Michigan

"Runkle"

•"Runkie" will never be forgotten by the teachers and boys alike. In North, he made life almost miserable for the teachers by his pranks and practical jokes. Mischief just seems to be his forte although it is usually of an innocuous nature. Nevertheless, "Runkie" has made at Williston and we hope, wherever ther his studies. "Runkle." many friends will do so, he may furGood luck!

Entered fourth year; Glee Club 4; Willistonian 4.

DAVID H. SEARLE, J.

Housatonic Massachusetts

College: Massachusetts State 4 47 1.

"Prez"

•"Prez" came to Williston at the half year and soon became very well-known. He is in fact the leading exponent of the "Lindy-Hop" and does the step very creditably. Tennis is another of his strong points and the spectacle of "Prez" truckin' around the courts is delightful to behold.

SHELDON B. SHAPIRO

140 Pleasant Street

North Adams, Massachusetts College: Univ. of Pennsylvania

•In spite of the fact that his name is the waiter's synonym for extremely slow eating, Sheldon is just about the best hearted fellow who can be found anywhere. His friendly and understanding nature is readily appreciated by everyone. To try to get him to say a word of malice about a person is positively impossible. He just wasn't born to do anything like that. Sheldon's first-bass voice is a valuable asset to the Glee Club. However, he has one very tiny weakness; he always insists that the Dodge is the car nearest to perfection.

Bill is an all-around athlete and a regular fellow, if there ever was one. "Bill's" well-read too. What he doesn't know about Sinclair Lewis' books, isn't worth knowing. Does "Bill" have enemies?

Someday we'll hire a microbe hunter to find out.

"Tank"

- "Barrel"

•This rotund athlete entered Williston two years ago. His performance on the gridiron immediately excited favorable comment, but that was not all that "Tank" had to show. For his exceptional dribbling and uncanny eye, he has, for two consecutive years, been named guard on the "All Western Mass." basketball team. He is also a tennis player of no mean ability. His place in our esteem is shown by his election to the vice presidency of our class and his position on the student council. Brown is also his choice and they are getting "one of the best."

THE 1937 SENIOR PROMENADE

The Senior Prom, the biggest social event of the year, was well attended by a large number of enthusiastic students. This occasion, as usual, also attracted many alumni.

Never before was the hall more beautifully decorated. The lighting was skillfully worked out with a large light in the center and others distributed about the sides to give a very pleasing effect among the colored streamers and other decorations.

The committee used good judgment in contracting with the Dartmouth Barbary Coast orchestra for this important event and also did a good job in every respect and deserves much credit for making this 1937 Prom one of the most successful in many years.

The Cum Laude Society is not merely a school honorary society, but a chapter of a national society with chapters in most of the preparatory schools in the country. At Williston this society stands for more than merely an excellent scholastic standing, since the members are appointed for their character and ability in other fields as well. The members of this society are not exceptional, but representative of the school's high-grade work, and these men may be sure to carry on through life their excellent intellectual curiosity and the character for which Williston is responsible.

Presidents:

Ey' it TT FOORD SIDNEY POND

JOHN GOULD MAX EISNER

JAMES BELL, JR. FRANCIS WILSON

Faculty Advisor: WILLIAM LOSSONE

The duty of the Student Council is to rectify major and minor offenses by students with the utmost quietude and efficiency. This duty is discharged by the six members of the Student Council, who are elected for the reputations of fairness and integrity. Each council is elected by the preceding one. This is an excellent system, as it insures a group whose standards of character is known.

Under the leadership of Everett Foord and Sidney Pond, the Student Council has done an excellent job in correcting students who have committed misdemeanors. This attempt at correction has often prevented the offender from going on to commit a more serious offense which would hurt his reputation as a student at Williston. The Council has its Faculty Advisor, Mr. William J. Lossone, whose advice has been of incalculable assistance in the making of decisions.

It is earnestly hoped that successive Councils will receive as excellent student cooperation as has this year's. 1937

Faculty Advisor LINCOLN D. GRANNISS

Several years ago the Williston chapter of the Y. M.C. A. was organized. In succeeding years the "Y" cabinet's services have been used to give contributions for relief funds and welfare work, welcome new students, and to promote dances for the benefit of the students, and also to maintain the "Y" cabinet and the recreation room in one of the dormitories.

LINCOLN D. GRANNISS

Within the first few days of school, there is a reception sponsored by the "Y" cabinet in the Williston Homestead, at which new boys are made to feel welcome.

Relief and welfare work is the most important function of the "Y" cabinet. Contributions were solicited from the student body for the Red Cross to be used in relief of flood survivors. As another source of revenue once every five weeks a simple meal is substituted for the usual Sunday dinner, and the difference of the cost of the meal is contributed to various relief emergencies.

To lessen the strain of continual study the "Y" cabinet conducted several informal dances which were heartily endorsed by the students' approval.

At the close of each athletic season "smokers" were held for the presentation of the athletic awards.

Another greatly appreciated action of the cabinet is the maintenance of a cabin situated in a wooded section about four miles from the school. It is very popular with the students because there, over a weekend, students may relax from the routine of school life. Besides the cabin, a recreation room is equipped by the "Y" with a radio and a ping-pong table.

An important action of the "Y" cabinet is participation of its members in various religious conferences held in the Eastern States. With an ever increasing sphere of activities directed by its able president, George N. White, and its faculty advisor, L. D. Granniss, the "Y" cabinet creditably maintains its position as one of the most important groups of students in the school.

Williston Log DRAMATIC CLUB

Probably the hardest-working group in school, the Williston Dramatic Club began its work early in the first semester. In collaboration with the Northampton School for Girls, the Club has produced, as the Fall Production, three or four one-act plays. The four plays presented in the fall were: "Phipps," "Bound East to Cardiff," "Thank You, Doctor," and several scenes from the "Merchant of Venice." Considering the inexperience of the actors, the plays were very well acted and definite successes.

These plays revealed to the director, Mr. Boardman, the talent of the various actors, and enabled him to choose a suitable play for the Spring Production, which was "The Queen's Husband." This play was very difficult to produce because of the multiple characterizations. The title role was excellently portrayed by Nathan W. Hale, whose sympathetic interpretation was the masterpiece of his three years of acting at Williston. The excellent support of the other members of the cast was of such high order that there is little distinction to be made among them. Howard Meunier, however, gave an almost too realistic characterization as the Princess and much of the success of the play was due to his efforts.

Without the work behind the scenes, however, no play is complete. The perspiring efforts of the director, Mr. H. G. Boardman, associate, Mr. C. Nelson Butler, and the stage crew, should not go unapplauded for they take all the abuse and get none of the rewards. Everett Foord, the president of the Club, did an excellent job with the stage effects and has filled his position admirably.

GLEE CLUB

REVIEW

One of the most popular and beneficial extra-curricular activities in school is the Glee Club. Early in the fall, the various singers arrange themselves before Mr. Rouse and Mr. Hyde and go to work.

With practice held at least twice a week, the club soon rounds itself into a very efficient group. The selections have a wide variation, ranging from difficult classics to rollicking college songs. Besides the very real pleasure which the boys get from singing together is the fun of making trips. Having concerts and dancing and ice cream and cake is just about as pleasant as can be.

The president of this year's club is William McKenney who has been a member for three years. His exceptional range and ability have made him the leader of the first tenor section. Another extremely competent member, Robert Arnold, sings second bass and has sung solos at each concert. He also holds the position of vice president of the club. Sidney Pond, as manager, ably assisted by William Horton, was responsible for the excellent schedule which the club enjoyed this year.

For the second year, the Williston Glee Club has united with the Northampton School for Girls and the joint concert was a tremendous success. Perhaps the most successful number was Sibelius' "On Great Lone Hills."

With a turn-out of over ninety students, the director, Mr. Rouse, was confronted with quite a problem. He decided, however, to reduce the membership to some fifty odd who compose the present club. It is scarcely probable that without the able assistance of Mr Hyde, the accompanist, the organization would have achieved the degree of excellence which it did.

The orchestra was started in September by "Dave" McKinney and "Bud" Whittemore and after a month of practice, it made its debut at the first school dance. Since this time, it has improved rapidly, and now boasts of a "smooth" and "swingy" style. The orchestra is highly thought of by the student body and has furnished much entertainment throughout the school year.

THE WILLISTONIAN

In its 56th year of publication the Wn.us-roNIAN enjoyed perhaps the best year in its existence. For the second consecutive year the bi-weekly news-organ placed in the third division for schools of its class in a contest sponsored by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. For many years editorial staffs have been trying to make the WILLISTONIAN an outstanding preparatory school newspaper, and since 1880 it has been published both weekly and bi-weekly, and even for a year in the form of a literary magazine, all in an attempt to establish the best possible publication.

Under the editorship of William McKenney the WILLISTONIAN underwent several successful changes. The keynote of all newspapers is their editorial policy, and that of this year's WILLISTONIAN was one of frank unbiased opinion, dealing both with school topics and those of outside interest. Featured during the year were short stories, a political poll, a campus column, and selections by varsity athletic squads of all-opponent teams.

Supported by a board of more than twenty-five students, the WILLISTONIAN has printed news and sports articles which have been both accurate and interesting. Likewise the business staff has done a noteworthy job and has shown considerable ability in keeping the paper upon a sound financial basis.

From behind the scenes, to the casual observer, come two prominent figures in the success of the 1936-37 WILLISTONIAN. Mr. Test has capably advised the editorial staff while Mr. Johnston has supervised the business department.

Williston Log THE LOG

With the latest issue of the "Log," the Log Board hopes to present a concise resume of the school year, in such a manner that it will be a source of fond recollections and memories in future years. In order to appeal to students and alumni, the "Log" must contain not only actual facts, but also interesting and artistic representations and articles of general interest to all.

This year it has been the Log Board's sincere endeavor to produce a "Log," worthy of the Class of 1937 and its accomplishments. It is also hoped that the readers will enjoy many pleasant moments in perusing the various sections of the book.

The changes effected in last year's "Log" will be continued in this 1937 edition. There will be no more "group pictures," for the composite picture has been substituted. One of the innovations of this year's "Log" is the "underclass feature" of arranging the pictures of the underclasses in the form of the numerals of their classes. Other new and interesting features are, a charcoal drawing of the Principal, increase in pages of pictorial section, the individual write-up of seniors and the addition of much material of general interest.

Although there is not enough space to discuss each individual member of the staff, it is the wish of the Board to inform the readers that each member contributed his bit toward making the "Log" a success. In this one case, the adage "Too many cooks spoil the broth" proved to be entirely false.

The Staff also wishes to express its thanks to the Executive Board which labored long and industriously in order that this edition might be a publication worthy of former "Logs" We wish to express our heart-felt thanks to Mr. Earl N. Johnston, who made this book possible by his untiring efforts and wise judgment.

In closing, the "Log" hopes that it will not only find its way into the hearts of its readers, but that it will be a source of enjoyment in the future.

The Adelphi-Gamma Sigma was created in 1933 under the name of Belles Lettres. This year the name, following the suggestion of the members, was changed to Adelphi-Gamma Sigma. There were originally two separate societies, Gamma Sigma and Adelphi. When the two societies were fused into one it was given the name of Belles Lettres.

Meetings are held once a week on Friday evenings. One or more members give a book review or talk on some interesting topic. After the main topic of the evening, open forum is held in which the news of the week is usually discussed.

In the fall election Joseph Manley was elected president, Mark Ash, vice president and David Treadway, secretary. In the winter election Edward Goodman was president, John Loeb, vice president and James MacCammond, vice president, and Mark Ash, secretary. The Adelphi-Gamma owes much of its success to Mr. Thomas, the faculty advisor of the society.

REVIEW

Forming a team around six of last year's letter men, Williston did not seem, judging from games won and lost, to have such a good football season last fall. The one victory and four defeats do not give the impression of a successful season, but there were many factors which, despite the losses, made the year a good one.

The material that turned out was inexperienced, and Coach Wafters before the end of the season had developed a fighting team which played its best when it was trailing in the fourth quarter. Co-captain Bronislaw Stepczyk did some exceptional running and line-plunging on the offense, while co-captain Thomas Moffett's hard tackling featured the defensive playing.

In the first games of the season Williston went down to Suffield where a hard fought game was dropped 6-0. When the scrappy Springfield Frosh came to Easthampton, the Williston aggregation got going and tripped the college boys, 7-6. On the following Saturday, however, the team from Wilbraham turned the tables on the Blue and Gold team, upsetting them to the tune of 19-7. In the Stockbridge encounter, Coach Watters' gridders met defeat by only one point in a game which might well have been anyone's, but for the Stockbridge conversion which left the score 7-6. In the final game of the season against its biggest rival, Williston held the Deerfield eleven, on their field, to one touchdown, so that the score at the final whistle stood 7-0.

When the final whistle blew at Deerfield, nine senior letter men had fought for Williston for the last time. The positions of co-captains Moffett and Stepczyk, Eisner, Konary, Wilson, Barry, Whittemore, Frandsen, and Kelly are all going to be hard ones to fill, but judging from the improvement shown by the team towards the last part of the season, and with ten letter men slated to come back next year, prospects do not look S3 bad.

At the annual fall smoker it was announced that Hugh Stringer, right guard, and a letter man for two seasons, had been unanimously chosen to lead Williston on the gridiron during the 1937 season.

REVIEW

With only six letter men returning from last year's team, the prospects for an extremely successful season were none too hopeful. Almost every position in the forward line and also the goalie's position had to be filled.

Handicapped by rainy-preseason weather which allowed no practice, an unorganized team suffered a close defeat at the hands of an unusually strong Hopkins squad. This defeat revealed to coaches Boardman and Test the lack of scoring punch and other weaknesses. That our coaches succeeded in strengthening the Williston aggregation is shown by the next two successive wins. Strangely enough, the two best encounters of the season both resulted in defeat. A clever and well-balanced Springfield Frosh crew led by George Soutiere, the Williston soccer captain of the previous year, came out on top in a closely contested struggle. The other highlight of the season was the annual tilt with our friendly rival, Deerfield. The finest brand of soccer displayed throughout the entire season was evident in the Deerfield game. Deerfield early secured a lead, but had to rally desperately, in the closing moments of the game, to eke out a 3-2 victory.

The record of the season shows six wins out of nine games played—a fairly creditable showing. In regard to spirit and cooperation, however, we have a perfect record.

Under the enthusiastic and intelligent leadership of Sidney Pond, and the intelligent direction of Coaches Boardman and Test, the team manifested a friendly feeling of harmony which served to make the season one of the most pleasant. At the annual fall Smoker, it was announced that Harry Thompson would lead Williston's '37 soccer team.

BASKETBALL

REVIEW

The 1937 basketball season was an eminently successful one with the impressive record of 11 games won out of 14 played. The players returned from last year's victorious squad were: Captain Wilson, John Kelley, and William Fleming. These three were well assisted by two new-comers to the school, namely: Stanley Pacocha, and Raymond Lucey. The high spots in the season were two games with Deerfield and the game with Wilbraham. In the first of the annual encounters with Deerfield, the visitors won by the exceedingly close score of 49-46. A highly indignant Williston squad journeyed up to Deerfield, later in the season, and soundly trounced the Green and White hoopsters to the tune of 45-28. The highlight of the game was the tricky ball-handling by the Blue and Gold quintet. The Wilbraham game was snatched from the Red's clutches by the score of 41-33.

Captain Francis Wilson was named guard on the "All-Western Massachusetts" basketball team for the second time in as many years. William Fleming was named utility man on the same team. When the 1937 season ended, the Williston quintet found themselves tied for first place in the valley league championship.

Raymond Lucey, this year's stellar center, and Stanley Pacocha were elected cocaptains for 1938. They are expected to lead their team on to great heights in the forthcoming year. To assist them will be the following returning veterans: Mustard, Lamson, Sessions, and Cantone.

Much of the credit for the fine record hung up by this year's squad must go to Coach Hepworth. He has labored unceasingly to mould together a team that clicked properly. So well did he succeed in this task, that he produced a second team that functioned well-nigh as perfectly as the first team, and did a fine job of relieving the regulars.

The basketball prospects for next year indicate that an excellent season may be expected.

REVIEW

By having an undefeated season, Williston's hockey team for 1937 triumphed over its fine 1936 season of winning eleven games out of twelve. Under the experienced guidance of Coach Lossone, a completely synchronized sextet battled its way through six able opponents. The team began its season by training up at Lake Placid from December 29 to January 2. Up there, the boys reached the semi-finals by defeating Morristown 2 to 0; however, in an overtime game, Albany Academy defeated the Williston team by 3 to 2.

Captain Hutton, assisted by John Davenport, held the defense strongly. He proved himself a dangerous threat to the opposing team by his hard, yet clean, checking. On the forward line, Stepcyzk scored frequently, and he was assisted by Dey, Wheeler, and Stringer with their accurate passing. Dearborn, Whittemore, Stringer, Benton, Chester Baker, Hodges, Pond, Ralph, and Manager Lotow also deserve credit for helping the team in its successful season.

Throughout the season, Stepczyk was the highest scorer with 11 goals to his credit. The second highest scorer was Davenport with 10 goals. When the points were totaled, it was found that the Blue and Gold had scored 25 points against their opponents' 9. Eight games were played in all, and the sextet met Stockbridge and Wilbraham twice.

The first game of the season—against Stockbridge—was played on very soft ice, and many spills added to the excitement of the game. The fastest, and by far the most spectacular game was the one at Mount Hermon. The first three periods were scoreless, but in the last period, Stringer caught the stray puck, and with a snappy thrust, scored the only point of the game.

This year's letter men included Captain Hutton, Whittemore, Stepczyk, Dey, Wheeler, Dearborn, Benton, C. W. Baker, Hodges, Davenport, Pond, Ralph, Stringer, and Manager Lotow. Coach Lossone was pleased with the season, and is looking forward to a similar one next year.

Captain Elect for next year is Dey, who may depend on some fine support from Dearborn, Stringer, Wheeler, and Benton. With this assemblage, Coach Lossone should have little difficulty in putting out another crack team. 1937 1971'

REVIEW

On April eighth, sixty-five enthusiastic candidates greeted Coach Watters' call for baseball men. With material at a premium it was a difficult task to pick a varsity squad, but at length the team was thinned down to thirty versatile ball players. Among these thirty, however, were only two veterans, "Bones" Stepczyk, a fast outfielder, and "Spot" Kelley, a converted shortstop. Coach Watters, with this small nucleus, was forced to build and train a practically new team.

The first game proved to be an exciting and close contest, but Williston's opponents, the Amherst Freshmen, capitalizing on a few errors, pushed over the winning runs, leaving Williston defeated in its 1937 starter.

The next game, with Wilbraham Academy, was a long, gruelling duel which closed at the end of the fourteenth inning with an 8 to 8 tie.

Williston's arch rival, Deerfield Academy, came out the victor in a weird game that was characterized by an overabundance of errors. The Williston boys slugged the offierings of "Smokey Joe" Woods's son all over the field, but lacked the winning punch. The Deerfield team left Easthampton with a 12 to 11 victory under its belt.

On May 1st the Albany Academy squad journeyed to Sawyer field and left with a victory over the Williston lads by the slim margin of one run, the final score being 12 to 11.

In a slugfest here on May 5th our boys went down to a 21 to 13 defeat to a powerful Suffield Academy nine. Hits were rampant and both sides were guilty of errors.

Engaging in its first out of town game at Williamstown, the Williston nine was defeated by a strong Williams club by the close score of 8 to 7.

After two more defeats at the hands of Kingsford School and Worcester Academy, the ball club started its long delayed victory march. Mt. Hermon went down to a 2 to 5 defeat and Loomis suffered their defeat to the tune of a 7 to 14 score.

Although a demon in the form of errors has pursued our club up till now, the season is still young, and the boys feel that they can shake off the curse. There is much to be admired about the team. With Raifstanger and Lamson doing such stellar fielding and batting, and Pacocha and Wilson performing such fine battery work, we can well feel proud of our team. Next year, with such men as Morehouse and Lucey on the mound, and Wray, Sessions, and Hussey in the infield, we can well look forward to a successful season.

REVIEW

Although the prospects for the 1937 tennis season did not appear too hopeful at the outset of the year, coach Galbraith has developed nine dependable men to compose the first squad. The co-captains, Davenport and Cann, are the only veterans of last year's team. Both have won all their single matches to date and it's hoped that they finish the season undefeated. Cole, Treadway, Wray, and Carreer have been playing creditable tennis as have Hill, White, and Halperin.

Williston opened with an easy 8-0 victory over South High of Worcester. Little opposition was given to the Blue and Gold in this match. A week later another victory was chalked up over Suffield, 4-0. Only four matches were played because of threatening weather. Another win, 4-1, over Albany Academy gave Williston a good start for the season with three victories.

The Williston co-captains, Davenport and Cann, were the only ones to win their matches against Deerfield; thus Williston lost 7-2. On May 8th Williston met its second defeat, 4-3, in an upset match with Worcester Classical High School. Another very close match was dropped to Mt. Hermon and then came victories over Worcester and Wilbraham.

The important remaining matches are with Loomis, and Moses Brown School. Although their opponents will provide a great deal of opposition, the Blue and Gold should finish the season very creditably. 1937 103 I.

REVIEW

Shortly after the Easter Recess, Coach Putnam issued his first call for track candidates, with the result that sixty boys reported. Among this large group, there were only six veterans from last year's great team. After two weeks of practice, the Kennedy Meet was held, and from its results, Coach Putnam discovered a vast amount of new material, the most promising being Dick Barry, Dana Frandsen, Maurice Callahan, Parker Teulon, and Win Murray. Although Coach Putnam does miss Captain "Doc" Wharton and many other last year's stars, he has rounded out a powerful team that is led by a fine dashman, Billy O'Hearn.

The first meet was held with Springfield Classical High School. In this meet, Williston won nearly every event and overwhelmed the "Purple and White" by the score of 901/2 to 261/2.

The second meet was held with the Mass. State Freshmen, and again Williston emerged with a victory, the score being 641 / 2 to 521/2.

The Wilbraham-Suffield-Williston triangle meet was another signal victory for Williston with the scores respectively 29, 17 and 70.

For the first time in 12 years, Williston emerged the victor in the annual, Williston, Loomis, Deerfield triangular meet. This was the last official track meet of the season and rings down the curtain on an undefeated team. We predict a good showing for "Put's" men in the Interscholastics at Amherst, May 31st.

JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL

REVIEW

Every fall, one division of the football team goes to Daley Field to practice in obscurity, until the results of their contests reveal the diligence with which they have applied themselves. Just such a team was this year's eleven which, at first diffident of its early successes, became an inspired team and blazed its way through an undefeated season

In a large part, the team's success was due to the excellent leadership of Captain "Ed." Clare and to the careful instruction of the Coaches Hepworth and Lossone.

Williston Log

CHEER LEADERS

Without the support of the student body, the Williston teams would never have accomplished what they did. Bearing this thought in mind, Frank Board, David Miller, David Treadway, and Robert Gabriel assembled the Williston boys in mutual support of their teams.

At every football game these four cheer leaders aroused the spectators to cheer for their team. The small pep rallies in the assemblies also put the students into an enthusiastic frame of mind.

Since the success of many games was in part due to the efforts of these cheer leaders, the school owes them a large and sincere vote of thanks.

THE JUNIOR SCHOOL

REVIEW

Apart from either the old or the new campus is the Williston Junior School with its own faculty, buildings, classrooms, and athletic facilities. Though a unit in itself, the Williston Junior School is a part of Williston Academy and has its own headmaster, Mr. Edward Clare.

The thirty-six boys enrolled in the Junior School this year make up the largest student body in recent years. Besides the students representing six states in this country, there are representatives from the Republic of Panama and Puerto Rico.

Activities throughout the year have been varied on the campus located on Main Street. The Athletic teams have competed in football, soccer, basketball, hockey, and baseball with considerable success. Other features of the school life have been skiing, hiking, manual training, music, art, and dancing.

In founding the Junior School, the late Dr. Sawyer was experimenting with a project to prepare young boys for higher education. Through the efforts of the present principal, Mr. Galbraith, and the present headmaster, Mr. Clare, his hopes have been realized. The Williston Junior School stands high among similar schools in New England.
