FOREWORD

The "Log" Board, through whose efforts this book is published, has attempted to make this year's a different, more beautiful publication. The most outstanding feature of the 1939 "Log" is its distinctive cover of white cloth, on which has been reproduced a photograph of the beautiful doorway of Ford Hall.

For the first. time in several years, various specimens of student art have also been included in the book.

The fundamental purpose of any yearbook, and the "Log" is no exception, is to keep fresh memories of the pleasant and fruitful years spent in school. It is, therefore, the sincere hope of the "Log" Board that each student will, from time to time in later years, open this book and refresh his memories that they may not, as the picked wild flowers, grow withered and lose their savor with the passing of time.

Ii F I) I (;

To FRANK WILLIAM PUTNAM; M.A.

who, as teacher and track coach, has so loyally served Williston, and who, as a friend and counselor of the undergraduate, has earned our affectionate regard

Wision Zoq is respectfully dedicated

THE PRINCIPAL'S VESSAGE

The Log has created an indispensable place for itself in the life of the school, and its value continues indefinitely into the future. Those who contribute to the fulfillment of its purpose may well take pride in their wOrk; to I hem I offer my congratulations.

To the Senior Class, whose memorial it is, I wish the best that lire has to offer.

"Mac," that smooth lad from the iEmpire State, helped enliven the already lively crowd at North. We could always find a dozen or so capering jitterbugs crowded in his room. Taking heavier music with his swing, Mac sang in the Glee Club. A flash in the field and with the femmes, he will be missed by more than the fellows.

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.

THE 1939 SENIOR PROM

The Senior Promenade this year lived up to its usual standard of being the outstanding social event of the year, being attended by seniors and underclassmen alike. The music was ably furnished by Gene Dennis and his orchestra, whose romantic strains and lively tempo produced a lovely atmosphere. The decorations were superb; a beautiful shilling star from which diverged row upon row of blue and gold streamers, combined with flowers and foliage placed decoratively around the sides of the gym. Much credit is due to the Prom Committee, through whose efforts this highly enjoyable occasion was made possible.

ACTIVITIES

The following section describes. and illustrates the activities of the various school organizations, and tells the function of each. These organizations are not only for pleasure, but they tend to give a boy practical knowledge, as well as to contribute to the enjoyment of each participant's career.

STUDENT COUNCIL

F. M. SMITH, '39

J. M. TISDALL, '39

A. R. WENTWORTIT, '39

W. J. LOSSONE, Faculty Advisor

As might be expected, the Student Council is one of the essential activities in the school. Consisting of a group of boys picked for their personality, character and leadership, the council's duty is the correction of student misdemeanors and also the representation of the student body in the faculty. This year's Student Council has done excellent work, furthering the attempts of last year's group in perfecting an honor system, and, with the aid of the "Willistonian", obtaining a welcome long weekend after the midyear examinations, besides performing their routine disciplinary actions.

Carl Hoar, president, and Reynolds Wentworth, clerk, deserve much of the credit for the success of the Council, which with the help of their faculty advisor, Mr. W. J. Lossone, and the cooperation of the student body and the faculty, has had an active and fruitful administration.

"Y" CABINET

F. A. BOARD, President

C. S. HOAR, JR.

P. L. DENNISTON

F. R. Loomis L. S. MORSE

L. D. GRANNISS, Faculty Advisor

Perhaps the organization most benefiting the Students is the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet. Its functions include the promotion of companionship and contentment among the Students, assistance to welfare organizations, and the maintenance of good relations with other Y. M. C. A. schools.

The extensive program of the Cabinet this year was initiated by a very successful reception and school party for the new students early in September. At the end of each of the three athletic seasons, the boys got together at the well-known, well-liked, and wellorganized smokers for the presentation of athletic awards. At each a prominent speaker was chosen to address the boys and Mr. Galbraith acted as Master-of-Ceremonies. The evenings were terminated with refreshments.

At the Cabin about three miles from the Old Campus the boys find relaxation from the monotony of studying and lots of fun camping and hiking. In North Hall is the "Y" room, also maintained by the "Y" Cabinet, where the boys can play ping-pong, listen to the radio, or just browse.

The welfare work of the Cabinet included collection of donations for the Welfare Fund and benefit societies, and collections of old clothes just before vacations for the town welfare. At intervals charity dinners were held.

The annual Y. M. C. A. Prep. School Conference was held this year at Northfield. It is held each year 80 that preparatory schools may have the advantage of sending delegations to discuss current student problems and listen to practical suggestions. Frank Board, president of the Cabinet, was elected chairman of the Student Planning Board. Mr. P. B. Hyde, who was Faculty advisor for the Cabinet the first half year, accompanied the boys on the trip.

The Cabinet has done commendable work this year. The keen interest and capable direction of its Faculty advisors, Mr. F. B. Hyde and Mr. L. D. Grannies, as well as the active work of Frank Board, Bob Riedel, and Ken Lewis have made this a very successful year.

THE ATHLETIC ADVISORY BOARD

Acting as the all important rudder of a ship, the Athletic Advisory Board determines the course of athletics throughout the run of the year. It is composed of four members of the faculty and five students prominent in athletics of whom four are elected by their respective halls, and the fifth by the day students.

Its principal duty is two-fold, the awarding of letters for the successful participation in organized sports, the second, the appointing of managers for the succeeding year. Since its organization the board has played an important part in directing the athletic activities of the school.

FACULTY ADVISORS

DAVID THOMAS LOUIS PALMER

The school debating society, Adelphi-Gamma Sigma, was originally two societies, Adelphi and Gainnut-Signut. In 1933 these combined under the name of Belles Lettres. The following year the club decided upon its present name, a combination of the two old ones.

Meetings are held at nine o'clock every Friday evening in the club's room in Middle Hall. After the business meeting has been held and the talks for the next week assigned, prepared talks on various subjects are given by some of the members. When these talks have been finished, there is an extemporaneous discussion or forum on many current topics.

For the first half of the year, Edward Jacob was president, George Hodapp was vice president, Kendrick Matthews was secretary, and Mr. Thomas was faculty advisor. Since February, Kendrick Matthews has been president, Richard Sears has been vice president, Lawrence Mutter has been secretary, and Mr. Palmer has been faculty advisor in place of Mr. Thomas, who is on his sabbatical leave. Much credit is due to Mr. Palmer for the fine work he has done in this, his first year, and to the club officials for their splendid work in maintaining an organization of this type in the school.

THE DOUBLE QUARTET

COLLARD GITTINS GRAHAM

Under the capable direction of Mr. Rouse, the double quartet performed with outstanding success during its many appearances this season.

Practice makes perfect in many things and with this in mind the hard work and untiring efforts of Mr. Hyde, who as accompanist throughout the year, meant much in putting the season across in fine style.

We wish Mr. Rouse and Mr. Hyde pleasant and successful years to come and shall always remember them as capable and understanding lovers of music and what it has meant to us. SEVENTY-ONE

GLEE CLUB REVIEW

The Glee Club had an excellent foundation on which to build this year, fifty-five boys being chosen out of the multitude who enthusiasti3a11y applied. By rehearsing twice a week very regularly, the club quickly learned the music and perfected it.

Mr. Rouse, the director, chose a very large repertoire of songs. Among the more serious pieces the Glee Club rendered were compositions by Bach, Muthmaninoff, Sibelius, and others. There were also many Negro spirituals ranging from the quiet and slow "De Wind Blow Ober My Shoulder," to the amusing, rollicking "De Animals a'Comin'" which drew smiles from every audience. Eight of the best voices of the club combined to form the double quartet, which added a great deal to the success of the club. The members of the group were: Mahan and Hosmer, first tenors; Collard and Gittins, second tenors; Berry and Graham, first basses; Birnie and Howe, second basses.

The combined concert with the Northampton School for Girls was again held, and it met with great success. This concert was followed by a very enjoyable program dance. The concert which brought the greatest pleasure to the members of the Glee Club was undoubtedly that presented in Flushing, Long Island. The singers journeyed to New York in buses and gave the program in collaboration with the Broadway Women's Chorus, who sponsored the concert. After spending a wild night in Flushing, the club returned to Easthampton.

Under the able direction of Mr. Rouse and Miss Dunham,the law-court satire of Gilbert and Sullivan, "Trial By Jury," was presented this spring with loud acclaim from all who saw it. The cast was composed of various members of the Williston Club and the Northampton School Glee Club. The principal roles were held by Ruxton Birnie, the deep voiced judge who comically flirted with every pretty girl, Frederick Mahan, the defendant, who was also very fickle and the worst of heart-breakers, Gertrude Stevens, the beautiful plaintiff who caused the heart-strings of all the jurymen to twinge as one, Clarence Gittins, the drowsy, humorous usher, Chandler Hosmer, the able and sympathetic attorney, and Ben Berry, the capable foreman of the jury. The winsome bridesmaids were well portrayed by other Northampton School girls, as were part of the spectators. Members of the Williston Club did their uproarious antics in the jury exceptionally well. It is hoped that perhaps a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta may be produced each year by the two clubs in combination.

The Glee Club owes most of its success to Mr. Rouse, the director, and Mr. Hyde, accompanist, who untiringly gave their valuable time and effort to shape the club into a successful unit.

THE WILLISTONIAN

The WILLISTONIAN has long been one of the most important activities in the school, for through its pages it reaches each and every student. This year the paper has been improved upon over previous years, being raised from third to second honor class, in the National Scholastic Press rating.

Through its editorial column, the sheet was the prime factor in attaining the long week-end after the mid-year examinations. It also did much to arouse the student body to support its athletic teams at a time when such support was deplorably weak. Then, of course, there was the concise and able reporting of the athletic contests and all the other important events which have taken place. More student cartooning and photography have also been included in this year's issue.

Much of the credit for the success of the WILLISTONIAN should be given to Reynolds Wentworth, who has most capably filled the position of Editor-inChief. Deserving of much credit also, is Phil Gordon, the Business Manager, who has succeeded in keeping the budget well balanced. A new acquisition of the current Editorial Staff is a very clever and skillful cartoonist, Miles Eddy, who has done much to enrich and enliven the publication. The entire staff deserves recognition as one of the most hard-working and willingly cooperative bodies yet to have handled the WILLISTONIAN.

Each year, the Williston "Log" represents a concise cumulation and resume of a year's memorable events. This year the "Log" successfully repeats itself, hoping that in the inevitable future, its reader may be reminded of the partly inexistent, but happy past, spent at a pleasant occupation.

Although each member of the Staff is not discussed individually, the Board wishes to extend its most profound gratitude to them, for they have been sincere in helping the Board produce a book, varied in content, its pages being festooned with activities from sports to debating, amid a flurry of humorous, candid, campus photography.

To illustrate briefly the work behind the "Log", it is necessary to take into consideration the entire student body. It is their cooperation with the various departments of the "Log" Board that make it possible for the compiling of such activities as sports, senior write-ups, dramatics, the underclasses, and other interesting events that have taken place during the year, and that the "Log" Board alone could not possibly cover thoroughly. Besides this internal cooperation, there is the external cooperation of the printers, engravers, professional photographers, and advertisers, all contributing their specific work which adjusts itself admirably to the "Log" Board's efforts. In actuality, the "Log" Board is like the efficient director who organizes and adds the finishing touches to a mass of information that he receives.

Over the "Log" Board hovers Mr. Johnston whose indispensable direction and helpful hints are always necessary for the success of the "Log", and, in closing, the Board's heartiest thanks are showered upon him for his wellneeded advice.

LOG CALENDAR

In 1941 Williston celebrates its one-hundredth anniversary. In the fall of 1937 the Log Board, in anticipation of this event, issued a pictorial calendar. This project was loyally supported by the student body and the proceeds derived were set aside as a fund to help finance a super-anniversary edition of the Log. Again this year the 1939 Log Board has presented the pictorial calendar and subsequent Boards will continue to do so until 1941. The profit will be recorded each year as a contribution of the Log Staff of that year toward the anniversary book.

The calendar contains twelve large pictures of familiar scenes of the New and Old Campuses which every student will appreciate when he has left school for his battle against the world. The calendar is bound in an attractive style, decorated with the blue and gold of Williston. It makes a beautiful souvenir of our school which is nearly a century old.

The Log Board wishes to thank the fellows who generously gave their time in making the calendar a success.

DRAMATIC CLUB REVIEW

The Dramatic Club performances this year were, as usual, outstanding. Four one-act plays were presented last fall, three of them being presented in a group one evening and the other being given at the fall smoker. The play revealing the most talent was undoubtedly "The Valiant". Carl Hoar, president of this year's club, and Mrs. Mary Test played the starring roles in this production. Hoar vividly portrayed the role of James Dyke, a strong-minded man who had been sentenced to the electric chair for murder and who would not confess his real identity. Mrs. Test was Dyke's sister whom he had not seen for many years. Allen Hubbard capably played the part of the prison warden, distressed because lie could not persuade Dyke to reveal his identity and also his motive for the murder.

"Workhouse Ward", a short comedy, was ably done by James Dunn and James Quinn, who portrayed two bedridden Irishmen who lay beside each other quarreling unceasingly. Both Dunn and Quinn were exceptionally good, shouting at each other in a very natural Irish brogue. "A Night at an Inn" concerned the theft of a sacred jewel by a band of rogues led by Mark Townsend, who commanded John Hyman, George Loomis, and Howard Krafsur. Robert Howarth, the idol whose eye was the jewel, finally gained vengeance by driving the band of brigands mad. The fourth play, "J. Caesar", given at the smoker, was a very short parody of Shakespeare's immortal tragedy. Overbearing Caesar was played by diminutive Fred Fischer. Others who performed in the amusing corruption were Lawrence Mutter, James Simpson, and Robert Arbuckle.

After the major production given on March 10, the curtain was dropped for the year, leaving memories of one of the most successful seasons in many years.

As is essential for a good performance, the backstage crew did their work well. The production manager was Forrest Durkee; stage manager, Reynolds Wentworth; property manager, Thomas Liddle ; and electrician, George Herrick. There were, of course, many others who aided in the production of the plays. The directors, Mr. Howard G. Boardman, Mr. C. Nelson Butler, and Mr. Louis Palmer did a commendable job, as is also necessary for successful productions.

balance between an outward seeming naivete and an inward cleverness. James Dunn, portraying a quiet Scottish missionary, did a splendid piece of Work. Felix Drinlovater, member of Brassbound's band of brigands, was played by Mark Townsend, who did well although his Cockney accent was somewhat overdone. David Kendall as Captain Kearney of the navy, also played well, but spoke so rapidly that many satirical felicities in his part were missed.

The rest of the east also performed well, and the unsung backstage workers were up to every emergency. The scenery was excellent as was the make-up.

The performance certainly set a high standard for other amateur players.

Whenever there was a rally, pep meeting, or any other gathering where cheers were desired, Bud Gittins, J. Quinn, Bruce Hopkins, and Jack Crawford were always ready and waiting. A great deal of the late success of the Soccer and Football teams is also due to the spirit which was aroused by these men.

Since the boys have been so faithful to their duty, it is only fair that they be given a big hand along with a few ''Rah's'' for their untiring work. It is a thankless job but their strenuous efforts have been appreciated.

1938 FOOTBALL REVIEW

The 1938 football season unfortunately cannot be recalled with pride and joy. A record of five defeats, one tie, and no victories casts a rather gloomy shadow over the memory of athletic accomplishments during the past year. There is, however, more to the story than appears in the win and lose column. The primary consideration in sports at Williston is the benefits, mental and physical, derived by the participants.

The unsuccessful season certainly cannot be attributed to the coaches. Messrs. Wafters, Bell, and Plumb comprised one of the most talented coaching staffs seen at school in many years. The obvious cause was the squad's lack of Weight and experience.

In the opening game, against Suffield, a number of unecessary fumbles lost a hard-fought battle. In its next encounter the Blue and Gold eleven was definitely out-weighed and out-classed by a powerful Amherst Freshman team. The following Saturday, however, against Wilbraham, Williston led in everything but the score. Time after time they drove to within the five yard line, but the scoring punch was lacking. Wilbraham, on the other hand, could not get past the Blue and Gold thirty. Worthy of admiration in this game was the fine offensive play of Bill Gaylor, who repeatedly, by brilliant running and passing, set the team up for the score that never came. Against Stockbridge, the team could not get started at all in the first half, and their more spirited performance in the later stages of the game could not offset a second quarter touchdown by Stockbridge.

Up until this stage of the season, the student body had shown a deplorable lack of spirit and an unwillingness to support their team. This very possibly was the cause of the occasional costly failures of the team to rise up and fight when they were on the short end of the score. As you well remember, the night before the game with Deerfield, our traditional "blood rival", there was a great and spirited rally, but even this fine show of support could not stop a fast and experienced Deerfield eleven from romping to a 24-0 win.

The old story of the point after touchdown made the difference between victory and defeat in the Mount Hermon tilt. In this case, Lady Luck gave the nod to Hermon, and Sammy's men came out holding the six points of a 7-6 result. Clem Sharpe went over for Williston's only touchdown of the season.

Appreciation of their sincere effort and competitive spirit should be afforded Captain Fred Smith, Gaylor, Kingsbury, Sharpe, and Matthews. May we close by expressing our best wishes for success to the team that takes the field for -Williston in the fall of 1939.

SOCCER

1938 SOCCER REVIEW

Although faced with a severe shortage of experienced players at the beginning of the soccer season, Coaches Test, Boardman, and Palmer, building about the four returning letter men, Captain Keller, Hart, Morse, and Hoar, got the team off to an excellent start. Despite the decided lack of fullbacks, the team, paced by a fast front line, began by winning a decided victory over Monson Academy, 4-2. They next won a close and hard-fought battle with Amherst College Freshmen 1-0. The season was not as successful after the first two games; the traditional contest with Deerfield was lost by an overwhelming score of 6-0. The final count for the season was three victories, two ties, and four losses.

Next year's team, however, seems destined for greater success. Although Board, Durkee, Riedel, Tansey, and Underwood, forward line players, Howe, fullback, and Hoar, halfback, as well as the outstanding center halfback and mainstay of the team, Ryan, have made their last appearance for Williston, there is an excellent nucleus for next year's team in Keller, captain in 1938 and reelected for 1939, Baxter, Clarke, Morse, Simpson, Santaella, and Hart. The center of the forward line, playing together for the third consecutive year, should be a major factor in the building of a very powerful team.

Since Mr. Boardman could not find sufficient time, he gracefully handed over his position of head coach to Mr. Test after some fifteen years of coaching successful Williston soccer teams. Mr. Palmer, a newcomer this year who played soccer at Oxford, assisted greatly on the coaching staff.

BASKETBALL

BASKETBALL

Although the 1938-39 basket ball season was not outstanding in hoop history, it was not a failure. With only two lettermen of last year, Co-eaptains James Tisdall and Tom Washington, returning, there was little nucleus about which to build a team. The results for the first few games were neutral, even wins and losses. One of the most encouraging jousts was the first game with Deerfield in the Williston gymnasimn in whieh the 13lue and Gold soundly trounced their arch-rivals.

Probably the most thrilling contest was the overt Imo hattle in which Wilbraham squeaked through to will by a count of 39-37. Williston built, up a very large lead early in the game, thanks to long "Don" Evans 14 points, but in the latter part of the tilt, Tisdall was removed for four personal fouls, and Wilbraham then forged ahead to win. The second contest with Deerfield there, although played amid the crash of bands and shouting of multitudes, was lost for the Blue and Gold by a rather one-sided score.

"Jim" Tisdall's left-handed, back-handed shots that invariably went t hrough the net will long be remembered. "Don" Evans also developed into a high scoring forward in the latter part of the season, as did "Butch" Putnam. With the new captain-elect "Don" Evans, John Keller, James Starr, and Esbjornson returning next year, there should be a powerful foundation on which to build.

Much credit is due to Coach Frank Bell, who arrived this year from the University of Illinois, where he had an outstanding athletic career. Through his efforts, a team with poor prospects was molded into a flashy combine.

HOCKEY

In a season marred throughout by consistently bad weather, the Williston stickmen did much better than the weak 1938 outfit. With holdovers Gaylor, Logie, Murphy, and Turner from last year's team, there was a good framework for the successful emallination which finally emerged. These were augmented by Ryan, Captain Raleigh, Smith, and Plagg among others. The team's play was keynoted by speed with a whirlwind first line of Ryan, Raleigh, and Murphy, supported by the adequate defensive play of Flagg, Burr, and Smith and by two capable net-menders, Gaylor and Turner.

Williston's showing at the annual Northwood School Invitation tournament at Lake Placid was very poor because of an almost total lack of practice. After the Christmas vacation, the team was greeted by a spell of warm weather which necessitated the postponement of the first three games on the regular schedule. When, however, the season really got under way, the Willistonians, still faced by that whirlwind first line, overwhelmed all opposition in running up a total score of sixteen points in the first three games, as compared with the meager sum of two for the opposing players. The high spot of the first part of the season was a magnificent seven-to-nothing trouncing that the boys handed to Deerfield.

Then the team finally came to grief at the hands of a well-oiled Worcester Academy sextet, which eked out a four-to-five victory over the gallant Blue and Gold. An unlucky Mt. Hermon aggregation found Williston on the rebound from their defeat and was upset to the tune of two-to-one. The team then ended its season by tying a strong Wilbraham outfit, as the last few games could not be played on account of wet weather conditions.

It must be said that the season's record of four wins, one defeat, and one tie, is undeniably good, and doubly so in a year when games were almost as numerous as practice sessions. Logic was elected Captain and Howarth was chosen Manager for the 1940 season.

BASEBALL

Although immeasurably better than the weak 1938 aggregation, this year's team has quite a distance to go before it can be eonsidered good. The pitehing and the fielding have both been, at the very least, adequate, but the team's hitting is deplorably weak. The bark-stop, Captain Fred Smith, is a tower of strength in the pinches. .1 nm Tisda II, the team's first sacker, would be a standout in any league with his steady hitting and sensational fielding. The rest of the infield, Bud Gittins, Walt Miller, mind Tom Turner resembles a basketball team as the horsehide goes from base to base with the speed of a thunderbolt. The out-fielders, John Keller, Paul Murphy, and Carey Matthews do an adequate job of patrolling the far reaches of Sawyer Field. Two newcomers to the school, Hugh Arnold and Jim Ryan have kept Williston's pitching on a consistently high level.

The team inaugurated the 1939 season with a 1.3-lbeating suffered at the hands of a powerful Wilbraham nine. Then Arnold pitched a nmsterly 3-0 over Albany. A 3-0 heartbreaker was lost to a well-oiled Suffield team. Williston lost another close game 4-1, this time to Monson. In the next game, a stellar Kingswood hurler held the Blue and Gold to two scratch hits, as his teammates piled up four runs. The steadily improving Williston aggregation next lost another game to Wilbraham, this time by a score of only 6-1.

As this article goes to press, there are still seven games left on the schedule. It is to be expected that a team such as Williston's which has been consistently improving in the face of stiff opposition should do better in the last half of the season. We predict a successful finish.

TENNIS REVIEW

In spite of a rather discouraging beginning, the tennis team was soon rounded into six good players. Captain Sharpe played number one position on the team and was usually steady and dependable on the court. The other racquet-wielders ranging from number two position to number six are: Stephen Clarke, Clark Richmond, Jack Raleigh, Robert Symington, and Robert Riedel. This year's capable and obliging manager was Phil Denniston.

The records thus far show that although the matches have been a series of defeats, they have been lost by a smaller margin each time. It is hoped that the steady improvement will prove its worth in the remaining matches. The first match was against Albany Academy, who outplayed the Blue and Gold to the tune of 2-7. Williston was again taken over the bumps when they played an excellent Deerfield team, this time losing by ;{ score of 1-8. The next contest, for which the team had to take an all day jaunt to Schenectady, was played with the Union College Freshmen, by whom the Blue and Gold was again taken 8-1. There was a decided difference, however, in the following two matches, for the scores were much less one-sided. By Mount Hermon the Williston boys were beaten 3-6, and by Worcester North High School they were edged out 3-4.

Coach Carl Ahlstrom is a new man on the coaching staff this year, having come to Williston from Pawling School. He has done a good piece of work, whipping the group gradually into shape,

TRACK REVIEW

With the opening of the spring term, the track team was formed from the nucleus of the Win ter Track group. Coach Putnam, assisted by Mr. Hyde on the long runs, Mr. Plumb on the weights, and Mr. Test on the jumps, soon had the various events organizeil and preparing for the cooling. season.

The Kennedy meet, besides awarding medals for achievement on the track, afforded the coaches a chance to get an idea of the better men in each event in preparation for the coming meet wilt Albany Academy. In the Kennedy meet, Ben Berry was the outstanding at winning the coveted high-point Kennedy meul. al by three firsts. Bill Gaylor, captain of the team, was second. The two Watsons also proved themselves able track men. The highlight of the meet was the close Haylor-Cooley mile.

The Albany meet was a victory for our team with a final score of 64-58. The tracksters showed up well by taking the majority of first places. Burr of Albany was outstanding, while Gaylor, Board, Buckingham, Watson and Berry took two or more plates each.

The squad went to Mass. State to face a formitlahle Preston:in aggregation. The score, which was 66-51 in favor of Mass. State was decided in the hist events of the meet. Evans jumped 5'7" in the high jump, Gaylor took the half mile, Brennan was a fast second in the 100, and Berry took first in the pole vault, tying wit It Mass. State varsity at 11 feet,.

In a triangular meet at home, Wilbraham was the victor wit It 1;2 points, Williston second with 48, and Suffield third with 6. Singular in the meet was Williston's taking of the three places in the mile, with Buckingham breaking the tape. The team was very mueh improved and strengthened since Winter Track's defeat at Wilbraham in March.

Again competing triangularly at home, the team was host to Amherst and Holyoke High Schools. The meet was remarkable in several ways. Berry hurled the javelin 165% feet from the board, M. Watson surpassed all low hurdle times on the track this year,. Cooley and Towler finished first and second in an exception:illy fast 440 yard dash. and the high jump finished in a three way tie for first. Williston captured all firsts but t wo and was first, in the meet with 69% points. Amherst scored 251 / 2, while Holyoke totalled 16.

As this book goes to press there is still one meet, the important Deerfield-Loomis-Williston triangular, to close this so far successful season.

The team loses a score of fine trackmen by graduation. These, the coaches, and the rest of the team we congratulate for their excellent work this Spring.

I II I- NEW ATHLETIC FIELD

JULY, 1938. WORK BEGINS

PLANNING

For several years Williston has been in need of larger Athletic Fields. The old campus field is very inadequate for any kind of a contest. To supply this need the school purchased a large tract of land lying between Daley Athletic Field and Park Street. About a year ago the work of grading and preparing for seeding began and today the field is in fine condition as shown by the pictures below. It is large enough to take care of several football or soccer teams at the same time and will be used for this purpose next fall. This field is easily accessible by way of either Park Street or Garfield Avenue and is at a reasonable distance from the gymnasium.

THE JUNIOR SCHOOL

The Williston Junior School is located on Main Street not far from the new Williston Campus. The Junior School possesses its own athletic facilities, classrooms, and dormitories. It also has its own capable faculty and headmaster, Mr. Edward Clare; but it's governed by the Williston Board of Trustees and Mr. Galbraith, its director.

The attendance of boys at the Junior School this year numbers forty-seven, representing six different states.

Various athletic activities are enjoyed, including baseball, hockey, basketball, soccer, and football. The boys find other opportunity for recreation and relaxation in skiing, hiking, manual training, dancing, music, and art. A new addition has been added this year to the class room building which increases still further the spacious and comfortable atmosphere of school life.

The Williston Junior School has been preparing young boys for Williston and other preparatory schools for many years with special emphasis upon scholarship and character.
