Williston Academy 1945 Yearbook

VILLISTOA HONOR

pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all"

WILLISTON'S PART IN WORLD WAR II

The second great world conflict came upon our nation on December 7, 1941. Then, beginning its one hundred and first year as a school, Williston Academy experienced, for the fifth time, the start of dreaded warfare. Since that time, Williston has realized, accepted, and carried through her wartime duties.

In spite of a great shortage of manpower, supplies of all kinds, various foodstuffs, and equipment, the school has been able to continue its work of educating the citizens of tomorrow, its work of building democracy. War has not decreased the educational benefits to be received at Williston. The school in 1942-1943, however, went beyond this important duty. Naval Air Cadets were housed in the Recreation Center. They were taught essential subjects in the evening by members of the Williston faculty who had already had a full day's work behind them. In this way, Williston contributed directly to the war effort by training men for specialized warfare.

The school is more than proud of her hundreds of graduates who are now fighting so that democracy and such schools as Williston may live on. To such men as Lt. Robert A. Richardson '44, Lt. Clarence E. Gittens '40, Lt. Frank D. Derouin '40, and others who have made the greatest sacrifice of all, Williston can only express its humblest gratitude; Williston can only promise them that it will maintain always the high ideals for which they died. The school knows that heroic men such as Commander Lawson P.Ramage'26, winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor, will continue to battle all over the world until the war is won. Today, more than ever before,"the world is in need of men." Williston Academy has proved that she is capable of producing the kind of men which the world so desperately needs.

FOREWORD

What does the year 1945 hold for American Youth? Never be fore in the history of our country has this question been more acute, more uncertain than it is today. Thousands of boys in their 'teens have already made the supreme sacrifice; there will be many more. To those who are not serving, the road is mysterious and obscure.

The young men graduating from Williston Academy are a representative group of the vast number of those who know not what lies ahead for them. Many will enter the service of their country; some will go on to college, but these are apt to be a definite minority. Whatever they do, wherever they go, these boys will be well prepared. From Williston they will have gained the finest education, the finest training to combat the obstacles of this uncertain world.

Therefore, in respect to the graduating class and to Williston, we have attempted to compile as fine a year book as possible. Several innovations have been introduced to accomplish this end. These include having informal as well as formal senior pictures, an athletic section with a novel background, and a great many campus views spread throughout the book.

So to Williston we proudly doff our hats; to her we dedicate the theme of our book. Long may she linger, bringing the greatest gifts to her students.

Recently, the Seniors voted for their favorite Dream Girl; the vote showed Jane Russell to be the unanimous winner. Therefore, her picture was immediately requested, and above is seen Miss Russell's reply.

Senior Protrt

It is the duty of the Senior Prom Committee to organize and present one of the most important events of the year, the Senior Prom. This group of boys, with the able assistance of Mr. Granniss, obtains an orchestra for the Prom, is in charge of the refreshments and decoration of the gym, and is responsible for the success of this dance.

This year's Prom Committee has done exceptionally good work in arranging for the Prom. In spite of war-time shortages, the committee has given the senior class a promenade which will not soon be forgotten.

A very important part of one's education in any secondary school is extracurricular activities. Williston has realized this and, as a result, has endeavored to impress work in outside activities upon her students. Under Headmaster Galbraith, especially, have outside interests been stressed, thereby offering to every Williston student an opportunity for a broad and wellrounded education.

DOUBLE QUARTET

The 1944-1945 Glee Club displayed as excellent a group of singers as Messrs. Rouse and Hyde have ever coached at Williston. Using twenty-one members of last year's club as a nucleus, they built up the group to seventy boys, who were well received at the four concerts which they held throughout the year.

The first concert held in the recreation center was heard by a great number of students, townspeople, parents, and faculty. The double quartet sang "Ave Maria," soloist William O'Brien sang "Where 'er you walk," while accordianist Anthony Lavelli was forced to give two encores. Most popular with the audience were such spirituals as "Go Down Moses," and "De Wind Blow Over My Shoulder," as well as such songs as "0 Bone Jesu" and "On Great Lone Hills" which gave the second bass section a chance to show what it had.

The concert which the Glee Club itself enjoyed most was the annual concert with the Northampton School for Girls held at the recreation center and the subsequent party for all those who had participated. As usual, it was thoroughlr enjoyed by all.

"The Gondaliers," presented May 11th ar.d 12th was the hit of the year. Leading principles were Grant, Rourke, and Germaine of last year's club and a newcomer, William O'Brien. The Northampton School for Girls, with which we collaborated in this production, was most valuable with such excellent singers as Mary Brooks and Sue Ricken. The choruses of "The Gundaliers" provided an excellent background for the show.

Much of the credit of the club's success belongs to the officers and also to the directors, Mr. Rouse and Mr. Hyde.It was through their long, hard work that the Glee Club remained in its position as one of the important Williston extracurricular activities.

The Dramatic Club's call at the beginning of the school year for new stage enthusiasts was answered by much new talent.

Three one-act plays were planned for the fall season to reveal what this group had to offer in the way of dramatic talent. One of these plays, "The Valiant," had to be called off because of an accident to the president of the club, John Seiler. The other two, however,"Ario di Capo" and "Dress Rehearsal," pleased the audience greatly.

The spring production was the celebrated "The Man Who Came To Dinner," presented in collaboration with the Northampton School for Girls. Outstanding performances in this play were given by John Seiler, Gretchen Schoonmaker, Dave Hepworth, Persis Brown, Mr. Robert V. Burdick, Bob Kienle, Edith Potterfield, Fran Lucier, L;(.1 Call, Lucy Jobson, and Gene Berman. This was one of the most successful plays ever presented at Williston and was wonderfully received.

Messrs. Boardman and Burdick of Williston and Mrs. Firman of Northampton School provided the splendid direction for the production. The stage crew was ably headed by Jeff Hardy. The multitude of properties was well taken care of by Ed Robins and his property men,and all the lighting was well supplied by Dick Hoyt and his electricians.

SCHOOL PAPER OFFERS

OPPORTUNITIES

Opportunities for experience in fields such as writing, business, photography,and art are offered the members of the staff of The Willistonian. The main function of this important organization is to report the school news in its ten yearly issues, but other material also appears in this publication, such as editorials, which may be submitted by alumni, the faculty, or students, special columns, cartoons, and photographs.

Once a month on a Sunday morning, the staff of The Willistonian gathers in the Dodge Room to turn submitted material into the next edition of the paper. For putting together a newspaper such as this, all the credit cannot be given to any one person or any group of persons. Although all the editors have been

NEW PLAN FOR LITERARY STAFF

This year, a new policy has been introduced for the literary staff of "THE WILLISTONIAN." In previous years, the officials of the school paper included the Editorin-chief,the News Editor,the Sports Editor, the Copy Editor, and an executive committee composed of two or three boys whose duties were a bit indefinite. By this new system, the executive committee was done away with, and associate editors were appointed to aid the various editors, thereby making the staff helpers' duties more definite.

This plan went into effect with the new staff who turned out the last three issues of "THE WILLISTONIAN"for the 1944-1945 school year. This plan has already proved its worth, and will probably continue to be used in future years.

WILLISTONIAN EDITORIALS DEMAND CONSIDERATION; SEVERAL CHANGES FOR SCHOOL BROUGHT ABOUT

(Continued from Page 84) invaluable to the paper, their task could not have been done without the assistance of the Executive Committee, the Business Staff, and all of the many assistants and associates. We, however, must not forget the paper's faculty advisers, Messrs. Burdick and Johnston, to whom The Willistonian owes a debt of gratitude. The paper was fortunate to be able to publish numerous pictures and to conclude the year with a well-received banquet.

That this year's Willistonian has been a forward-looking paper no one can deny. Following a policy of more active and more effective editorials, the paper has been a leader in the demand for many changes at Williston. The new breakfast-absence system is a result of a Willistonian editorial; the Student Council produced a new constitution for the benefit of the school after demands in the paper had been made for it. Many letters to the editor and editorials have been published which aroused interest.

LOG

Into the publication of a book such as "The Log" goes a great deal of time and effort. It involves the work of many departments such as the literary, managing, business, photography, and art. In addition to this, workers such as printers and engravers are necessary to the actual issuing of "The Log." It is due to the fine and tireless efforts of all these people that the publication of a "Log" is at all possible in times of war. Credit for this year book is also due Mr. Johnston, the faculty adviser, whose ability and experience in publishing annuals has been invaluable.

"The Log" staff is a competent one and has been responsible for the present book. Herbert Fisher,editorin-chief, has had capable workers as heads of the different departments. Each of these staff leaders has, in turn, received excellent co-operation and capable workmanship from those boys under him.

Adviser

Earl N. Johnston

The purpose of a school yearbook is to serve as a bond between graduates and the years they have spent at Williston. To all students who leave Williston this year, "The Log" must act as a strong link with their lives at school. It is certain that the annual has lived up to its responsibilities and has maintained the high standard set by previous Williston yearbooks.

Williston BULLETIN

EASTHAMPTON : MASSACHUSETTS : JULY : 1944

The Williston Bulletin is an important school publication which is issued four times annually. Containing interesting information about Williston and its alumni, the Bulletin is eagerly read by over 3,000 alumni to whom it is regularly sent.

Recently, the Bulletin has been largely devoted to alumni in the service. Who's Who in the armed forces and the addresses of the various Williston graduates serving have been features of the booklet.

Although the Bulletin has been in publication for the last few years only, it will doubtless continue as a steady Williston issuance because of the wide interest displayed in it by Williston alumni.

STUDENT

Every organization must expand or be consumed in the outmoded convention. The growth of the Student Council, since its formation in 1917, has well proved this truth. Every year new projects are put into effect to strengthen it and make it more efficient. The Student Council of 1944-45 has lived up to and surpassed the expectations imposed upon it by such a worthy tradition.

This year, a revived interest in the Council by both student body and Council members has brought forth several items of improvement that have long needed attention. A formal constitution has been drawn up stating methods of procedure and aims of the council. A further measure has been taken up in this line by publishing a list of rules and corresponding disciplinary attention. Such a report places disciplinary action taken by the Council on a fair basis for everyone concerned.

The Student Council members have, also, certain duties to perform, many of which have been brought on by war conditions. The supervision of the gymnasium on Sunday afternoons, milk line, bed checking, and late Saturday night senior privileges number among these and help to lessen the burden of a school during war time.

The Student Council, however,is not an entirely disciplinary body. Two dances, one in the fall and one in the winter term were presented by the Council and the Y Cabinet.

This year's Council has done all in its power to round out its activities and put itself on a more solid footing for those Student Councils that will follow it for years to come.

A CABINET

Of much fame is the Williston "Y" Cabinet, one of the school's oldest organizations. Under the able supervision of its faculty adviser, Mr. Lincoln D. Granniss, it is the duty of this organization to maintain good fellowship among the students and to see that charitable organizations of all types are provided for. To accomplish these tasks, the "Y" Cabinet collects old clothes, books, and money from the student body. This year a total of approximately four hundred dollars was collected by this charitable organization.

Every Sunday at twelve noon the members of this organization can be found discussing a matter of interest to the cabinet in Mr. Granniss' room in North Hall, over a box of candy. A great deal of credit goes to Mr. Granniss, the faculty advisor of many Williston "Y" Cabinets, who has devoted much of his time and energy in work for the organization.

The Cabinet is the Williston chapter of the world-wide Y.M.C.A. The tasks of sponsoring the first school get-to-gether in the fall, the "Y" Reception, all the end-of-season smokers, the dances, and the Golden Rule Sunday dinners are among the many duties of this group. The members are President Hunter, Vice President Ellsworth, Secretary H.Fisher, and Donaldson, Hoar,Riedel, Hoyt, and Whitcomb.

The school cabin, as well as the common room in North Hall, is under the care of the society. These are but a few of the numerous things which the "Y" Cabinet does to bring about the ideal of good fellowship for which it was originally founded.

A GAMMA SIGMA

L. D.Granniss

W. Sterling

The Adelphi Gamma Sigma, Williston's debating club, was originally composed of two distinctly separate organizations, the Adelphi and the Gamma Sigma debating circles. These two were united as one in 1937, and have remained thus ever since.

Under the experienced guidance of Messrs. Granniss and Sterling, many absorbing problems have been intelligently discussed. The club was appreciably enlarged this year, partly because of the numerous pressing issues afforded by the times, and partly because of the enthusiastic leadership for the first half year by Richard Fitzgerald and for the second by Edward Genn.

At the regular Friday evening meetings,to which guests are invited, reports are made by different committees, and, after the discussion of the old and new business, the principal debate begins. For the previous week, the debators have been looking up material, and at the meeting they present their topic of debate. Following the rebuttal, the entire society discusses the question in an orderly fashion.

RADIO

Last year a radio club was organized at Williston for the first time since 1935.The purpose of the club was to give students who were interested in radio a chance to study and build in this field.

Under the supervision of Mr. Babcock, the club's faculty adviser, and Jim Rogers, the president of the organization, the club has been able to get under way.

The club meets every Saturday morning in Payson Hall. The members study and build radios. In this way, they become acquainted with radio and all its mechanisms through a gradual process. Although they do not claim to be radio experts, they do gain a fundamental knowledge about radios that is very valuable.

Although the radio club is an organization with a small membership, it will inevitably grow and develop, because radio has such an important part in this war and in the future.

To develop the body as well as the mind has always been a primary objective of Williston Academy. In keeping with this policy, athletics have been made compulsory for every able-bodied student. The following section is devoted to athletics at Williston, and the fine purpose they serve.

Atha,AdviJory Roar,/

Every year, the four student representatives of the Athletic Advisory Board, in conjunction with the four faculty members,do much in guiding the athletic activities during our school year. The four student members are boys who are usually prominent in athletics. Three are chosen by their respective dorms,and the fourth by the day students. The faculty representatives are present to voice opinions in the different branches of Williston sports, and thus aid the student members in making wise decisions.

At the close of the three athletic seasons, the board performs its two principal duties: it awards athletic letters to those boys who have shown creditable and satisfactory performances in one of the seven major sports, and then chooses the managers for the next year.

Representing the faculty on this year's board are Coaches Lash, Babcock, Putnam, and Lossone. The student members are Herbert Fisher from North Hall, Cornelius O'Brien from South Hall, Richard Maine, Ford Hall, and David Hepworth representing the day students.

An entirely unproven and untested football team took the field for Williston at the start of the '44 season. The team boasted only three returning lettermen, Maine, Liebman, and Whitcomb, but these three boys held the team together throughout the season. Co-captains Maine and Liebman often made decisions which aided the outcome of the games.

The first game of the season was played against Suffield Academy. The Suffield lads could not stop the onrushing Wildcats and were finally overpowered, 19-0.

The following week a fast, hard-hitting Wilbraham squad came to Easthampton with the idea of an easy victory. The visitors, however, left our campus in low spirits, after being on the lower end of a 12-6 score.

After bowing to a powerful Agawam High team by a 20-0 count, the boys took their bitterness out the following week on the rough and ready Classical gridders. The passing combination of Maine to Fisher clicked for the first score, and several plays later, Gottlieb ripped off a fifty yard run,leaving the ball on the Classical three yard line. Pete Whitcomb then crashed through for another six points. Herb Fisher kicked the extra point, and the game closed with the Blue and Gold carrying a 13-0 victory.

The fast Green and White combination of Deerfield defeated the Wildcats the following week, 20-0.Two touchdowns were scored on Williston in the first quarter. The boys then held the second and third periods, but despite a brilliant tendown stand on the one yard line, Deerfield managed to score their final touchdown in the last quarter.

The final game of the season with Mt. Hermon was not the ideal ending fc hard fighting boys,as they were downed 26-0 in four thrill-laden quarters.

The season was closed with a final standing of three wins and three losses. Coach Lash deserves great credit for turning out an excellent squad who gave their best throughout the season.

Coach Babcock again turned out a soccer team which had a very successful season. Hp deserves much credit, for he had only three returning veterans, and many of the positions were filled by some young or inexperienced boys. But whatever they lacked in size or skill, they certainly made up by fight, spirit, and teamwork. The forward line, built around Captain Jeff Hardy and Manuel Nessim, was the dread of many a goalie. They averaged four goals a game. The defense, built around "Duke" Hunter, did well in stopping opponents' drives.

Monson was beaten soundly in the Wildcats' first game, 7-1, Nessim and Hardy playing brilliantly for Williston. Then came victory after victory, but they were not so easy as the scores seem to indicate; it was the superb play of the defense that kept the opponents' scores down.

Williston showed what teamwork really is when they played the first Wilbraham game. Nessim got four goals during short rallies in the first and third quarters. Wilbraham returned and came close to tying the Blue and Gold in the second game, but Williston came through to win.

The greatest achievement of the year was the defeat of Deerfield, something that had not been done by Williston for over a decade. Under a pouring rain, Captain Jeff Hardy shot three goals into the net. The Green and White, however, came back fighting the next time and nosed out the Wildcats in a very tough game.

The hardest-fought game was against Easthampton High. Here the desire to win and determination of the team, with Hardy's extra-period penalty kick, pulled Williston through

The closing game against Mt. Hermon was a thriller. The Wildcats managed to nose out a speedy Red and White eleven. Werner's goal in the second period was the only score. The brilliant defensive play of goalie Hess saved the day.

Nessim and Hardy each made twelve goals during the season and were held scoreless in only two games apiece, but they would not have been able to do that without the complete support of the rest of the team. The team worked together for a common purpose, and that purpose was achieved. Williston has good reason to be proud of its soccer team and Coach Babcock.

BASKETBALL REVIEW

It is difficult to know where to begin in describing Williston's 1945 basketball team. As Coach Lash said,"It was probably the greatest team in Williston's basketball history." This can be attributed to several factors—accurate shooting, aggressive team play, smart ball handling, and especially to a certain chap by the name of Tony Lavelli. Tony's marvelous team play and sparkling leadership'helped the Lashmen tremendously as Williston produced its first undefeated basketball team in thirtyLfive years.

The team's record speaks for itself. Led by Captain Lavelli, who compiled a total of 307 points for the season, the undefeated five rolled over opponent after opponent meeting serious opposition in only two or three games. The true fight and ability of the squad was severely tested at Kingswood where Williston trailed 23—loin the middle of the secondyeriod.However,by constant plugging and some miraculous shooting by 1.avalleethe Wildcat quintet won going away, 53-41.

The climax of the season came in the two Deerfield games. Up at Deerfield, the team came through with a 37-29 victory after leading at the half by a 25-8 score. The second game at Williston also ended with the Lashmen on the long end of a 28-21 score. In this game, smart and heads-up play were the deciding factors. Along with these two first team victories over Deerfield, the second team and the Junior School both came through with double wins over the Green and White second and junior teams respectively.

To Coach Lash, whose wide basketball experience and skill in instilling a fighting spirit in his ball clubs were instrumental in producing this team,go our heartiest congratulations. To the players who produced the victories—Captain Lavelli, Neil O'Brien, Herb Fisher, Dick Showalter, and Dave Hepworth—goes credit for their great play. To the substitutes, who plugged hard every day, and to the entire student body, go orchids for their help in making this one of the worthiest of Williston basketball teams.

HOCKEY REVIEW

With three returning lettermen—Hovey, Liebman, and Stevens—the hockey team completed a season in which they won three games and lost four. Coach Lossone placed Rigney in the cage and stood Hart beside Hale for his two defensemen. For its forward line, the Wildcat sextet had Liebman at center flanked by Stevens and Hovey.

The first three games ended with the Blue and Gold on the short end of the scores. The initial contest was dropped to a powerful Athol aggregate, 2-1. The Lossonemen lost to Athol again at Athol by a 4-0 count after bowing to Mt. Hermon,4-1.

The latter four games of the season showed a decided improvement, however, with Williston winning three and losing one. The first Westfield game was won by a 1-0 score in which Liebman made the winning goal. The Deerfield game was the most exciting game of the season, for Williston was trailing in the third quarter,4-0, when the first line scored two successive goals. The game was finally won by Deerfield, 4-2. The last game of the season was a well-earned victory for Williston, as Wilbraham was trounced, 4-1. Stevens came through with three goals and Hovey with one.

During the course of the season, the defense for the Wildcat six was well-filled by Hart and Hale. Hart also had a goodly number of assists to his credit. The goal was exceptionally well-guarded by Rigney who stopped many goals from entering.

During this past year, much has been done in the way of developing Williston's facilities for skiing. Under the capable direction of Mr. Babcock, an energetic group of boys spent the entire fall on Mt. Tom clearing a ski trail. This trail has proved to be worthy of the work put into it, for it has shown itself to be very successful during this winter.

Having spent so much time on the clearing of a trail, the boys did not allow this trail to go unused. Ski meets were held with Mt. Hermon and Deerfield. Although the Williston team was unable to defeat its opponents, the forming of the team showed that some advance had been made in the field which has yet to be developed fully.

There were a great number of boys who, before this year had never had a chance to take part in skiing, a sport which interests many people. The Ski group and Mr. Babcock deserve a great deal of credit for their part in developing the interest in skiing at Williston.

VARSITY BASEBALL SQUAD

BASEBALL

As this year's Log goes to press before the beginning of the baseball season, it is possible to give only the prospects and outlook for the Williston nine. Coach Lash, although limited by war-time restrictions, intends to put on the diamond this spring the best possible team, a team that will win ball games.

The Wildcat infield will include Dave Hepworth at first base, Bob Werner at second, John Rypysc at short stop, Bill Roberts at third base, and Dick Showalter as utility infielder. Hepworth is the only returning veteran, but the infield as a whole shows promise.

The boys who will be doing the work in the outfield are John Anthony, this year's captain, "Nick" Giangrasso and Blair Duncan. Anthony is the only outfielder who was a letterman last year.

The hurlers and catchers for this spring's team have had some experience. On the mound will be Dick Maine, "Lefty" Donaldson, both lettermen last year, and Bob Phelan, who pitched at Andover last year. The catchers, Meryll Hess and Ed Genn, both show much promise. Hess caught for the summer school team, and Genn was the Williston second-string catcher last spring.

All in all, the prospects for the Williston nine are excellent. Although the team lacks experience in some departments, it should have a good spring season and should win some ball games.

TENNIS

As this article goes to press, Mr. Burdick and Mr. Thorner, coaches, have expressed the prediction that the tennis material on hand is capable of being molded into a better company of courtmen than graduating classes have seen during the past few years.

The returning lettermen are Captain Herb Fisher and Bill Grant. Both of these men can be relied upon to be a backbone to this year's team, having played some very good tennis in last year's matches. There is a very promising group of newcomers that can very competently fill out the quota of six men.Langbehn,Brenner, Coleburn, and LaveIli have been immediately spotted as the men for the job. Brewer, with his two assistants, Bull and Harrington, is taking care of the managerial end of the team very well.

The second team is, as yet,in an unorganized state. Some may go on to the first team, others may drop out. As they stand now, they are Seiler, Call, Whitney, Higgins, Duncan,and Dunham. Most of these boys will probably not get into "the big league" this year, but their training now prepares them for next year's squad.

It is hoped that eight matches will be scheduled for this season. At this time, however, only four have been definitely arranged; two with Mr. Hermon and two with Wilbraham. Those yet to be arranged are one with Deerfield, one or two with Classical High, and one with Tech High. Whatever the schedule may finally turn out to be, the tennis season this year is bound to be unusually successful.

TRACK

This year's track squad is ideal in that a great many boys are distinguishing themselves as versatile track men who can lead a track team. Co-captains Griffin and Stevens, together with Hunter, Liebman and Gottlieb, the returning lettermen, form a sturdy backbone around which Coach Putnam is building an outstanding group.

Numan Williams and Bill Oppenheim have joined the javelin throwers. Liebman and Oppenheim have combined their efforts to produce a strong nucleus for the shot-putters. Whitcomb and Liebman are throwing the discus. These boys are all excellent in their events and are displaying good form in their respective specialties under the fine tutelage of Mr. Babcock.

Hunter and . Gottlieb are running the low hurdles as is A. Smith. Stevens, S. Hughes, Minty, and Anderson are all capable distance men. These runners are highlighted by a splendid relay team consisting of Griffin, Hardy, Lyman and Gruttemeyer.

As "The Log" goes to press, the track team has had no meets, but everyone is confident of a successful track season.

Minor Athletics

In past years a very important and fundamental part of the school life under the present system at Williston has been the compulsory participation of every boy in athletics. Since every student cannot be on the first teams, minor athletics have come into being. These teams are all equipped with uniforms, are handled by trained coaches, and have their own schedules, playing with just as much enthusiasm as the first teams.

Although it is impossible here, due to lack of space, to summarize the records of these teams in their individual contests, it should be stated that Williston underteams as a whole, continually show a superb record, and for this reason the fellows playing on them deserve a great deal of praise which is usually not given them.

Assuring every fellow in school a chance to enter into athletics, these ten different squads play at various times during their respective seasons. They are, namely: Canary Football, Lightweight Football, Fencebuster Soccer, Tong Basketball, League Basketball, Special Exercise, Canary Hockey, Second Tennis, Canary Baseball, and Lightweight Baseball.

Also at this time should be mentioned the inter-dormitory contests held in the spring each year, and participated in by each student. This is a contest between the three dormitories for a banner which is presented to the winning team.

THE WILLISTON CALENDAR

This year the Log staff published the eighth edition of the Williston Calendar, and judging from the sales and demand, it was by far the most popular calendar yet presented.

Five hundred and fifty calendars were sold to students, faculty, parents and friends of the school, and many orders which came in late had to be cancelled.

The picture above is a reproduction of the front cover of the calendar, which also contains twelve other views of buildings and beautiful scenes about the campuses.

Written for the Semi-Centennial in 1891 by Irving Bruce, Class of 1878

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.

Soni WittWon

Arise, sons of Williston!

The world is in need of men Who still, for the right cause, Will fight with the strength of ten. To win the good day When all men can say Now justice and right are here, Go forward with power And work for that hour With prophet, and poet, and seer.

Arise, sons of Williston!

With body and mind prepared. Arise, and press onward Where men in their strength have fared. The world is in strife It needs all young life To work for the happier day. May justice be won And all 'neath the sun As brothers pursue their way.

Arise, sons of Williston!

Arise in the strength of youth And march with the valiant Who fight in the ranks of truth. With hearts all on fire, With zeal none can tire, With minds still alert and gay, Go forward with might To work for the right And bring forth the brave new day.

School Songi

Sammy, my Sammy, my heart yearns for thee Yearns for your campus

And your old elm tree.

Long may we cherish in years yet to come, Long may we cherish Williston.

Come down and fight, fight, fight for Williston, For the team in Blue and Gold. For naught avails the strength of Deerfield, As against their line we hold, Rah, Rah.

Come down and fight, fight, fight for Williston, As they march on down the field.

Touchdown, touchdown, Williston, for Deerfield's strength must yield. Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah.

As the backs go tearing by, On the way to do or die, Many sighs and many tears

Mingle with the (Deerfield) cheers,

As the backs go tearing by, Making gain on steady gain, Echo swells the sweet refrain, "Williston's going to win today, Williston's sure to win today,"

As the backs go tearing by.

March, march on down the field, Fighting for Williston.

We're her sons so staunch and true

On whom she'll rely

To cheer for her and exalt her name, Fight for old Williston, (Deerfield's) team may fight to the end, But we will win.

'Neath the shadow of our mountain With its scarp so sheer, By the shores of Nashawannuck Stands our school most dear.

Chorus

Sing her praises, guard and cherish, Friendship here begun. Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Hail, oh Williston.

Here upon the school's wide playfields, In her halls serene, Forge we now the strength of manhood For life's battle keen.

Chorus

'Mid the turmoil of our striving Sounds thy voice anew, Calling us to rise and conquer In thy service true.

Hit the line for Williston, for victory today; We'll show the sons of (Deerfield) That the Blue and Gold holds sway. Up the field we sweep along, victory or die, And we'll give the team a cheer, boys, As old Williston goes by.

Hand me down my bonnett; Hand me down my shawl; Hand me down my calico dress, I'm going to a calico ball. First she gave me honey, Then she gave me cake, Then she gave me ginger bread For kissing her at the gate. Oh, as we go marching And the band begins to P-L-A-Y, You can hear the people shouting, "Old Williston is out to win today!"

May 27. Graduation

The Williston Junior School, an entirely separate unit from the Academy, prepares the students for Williston and other preparatory schools. Instruction is rendered to boys ranging from ten to fifteen years of age.

Training in athletics and other extracurricular activities is given each boy in addition to his scholastic training. It can truthfully be said that a Junior School graduate will make a success of himself in the upper school.

THE JUNIOR SCHOOL

Although the Junior School is a separate unit from the upper school, it nevertheless provides an important step in the training of boys for the Academy, or for any other preparatory school. The boys there are under the supervision of a competent faculty whose job it is to supply them with a thorough education, much the same as that of an advanced school.

The boys are taught a great variety of subjects, with emphasis placed on a practical but liberal education which will aid the student both academically and socially. Besides the usual "Readin', writing, and 'rithmetic," there are classes in Latin, music, drawing, manual training, and dancing. In line with the policy of helping a boy achieve a well-balanced education, there is also a very competent athletic department.

The attention given a Junior School boy is not confined to merely his education scholastically. In the words of Headmaster Clare,"We act in the dual capacity of teacher and foster-parent—for ours is a home as well as a school, and in the home life we act 'in loco parentis'." Thus the Junior School boy not only receives a good scholastic education, but also the care and guidance he needs.

Since its inception in 1916, the Williston Junior School has grown from barely twenty boys to the present enrollment of sixty-five. All of Payson Hall in addition to the dormitories on their own campus is now occupied by them. The Junior School was started as an experiment, and it has entirely justified the confidence with which the experiment was undertaken. It is now an excellent primary school and a firm foundation for all aspects of a graduate's life.

Until 1901,the entire campus of Williston Academy was concentrated in what is now the old campus. In that year,however,Sawyer Field was completed and in 1914 Ford Hall was built; then, in 1931 the new gymnasium was erected and in 1939 Galbraith Field was completed. In 1941 the school purchased about 150 acres of land near the Cabin,so that,now Williston Academy owns well over one hundred and fifty acres of land and ten buildings used for school purposes.

YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

Years of experience in outfitting boys for many of the best-known schools in the country have given us an unsurpassed knowledge of what is required, what is approved, what is most desired. And looking at it the other way— we also know what you don't need. It saves time and trouble to come to Brooks, and—in many instances—costly disappointments.
