Williston Academy 1905 Yearbook

FOREWORD.

.460 ASP

KIN behalf of the class of 1905 we present to the school, and to the W. public, the fourth edition of the Williston Log. Its purpose is not solely to record the history and achievements of that class, but to provide as well an attractive souvenir of Williston and a review of the past year.

We have made many changes from the plans of former years,but we feel satisfied that each change has been an improvement. We hope that everyone has been mentioned as honorably and "roasted" as warmly as he deserves; if we have failed in this, we hope that no one will take offense at a lack of the first or an excess of the second. Our intentions are good and our motives harmless. Finally we wish to thank our classmates, the under classmen, the faculty, and the good friends of the school for their hearty aid and support.

Memories will fade as time goes on, and the pleasures of school life will be replaced by sterner things; but the "Log" will remain unchanged. We like to look into the future and see our great lawyers and doctors, our teachers and statesmen, spending a pleasant hour over its pages, recalling the old school days. Many once familiar faces are seen, but some have drifted far away and others have long since taken their last examination in Life. They discuss the success of one and the failure of another, and how strangely Life has allotted her blanks and prizes. They laugh at the old jokes and grinds, and grow grave over the first acts of tragedies on which the curtain has just been rung down. And, at last, they reluctantly close the covers and Williston again fades from a reality to only a pleasant memory.

AN A 1'1'11E('I ATION.

PEBBLE is thrown into a pool, there is a slight disturbance of the water, a few tiny waves circle outward with ever diminishing impulse and soon the surface of the pool is as smooth and motionless as before. Only the •close student of Nature and her laws could clearly discern or accurately measure the force that has been expended. So it is with the life of a faithful teacher. Very few who observe him in the quiet performance of his daily tasks realize how mighty is the power of the personal contact between him and his pupils, or understand those mysterious emanations and affinities by which virtue goes out from a great strong soul, imparting in circles ever widening and with force never diminishing strength and greatness to others. But if death suddenly intervenes and interrupts the labor of love, its saddening,sobering shock quickens memory and deepens appreciation. For a brief time we stand upon the mount of vision and can measure at its true value the power that lies in a faithful, consecrated life. It is in this sad way that the teachers and pupils of Williston Seminary during the past year have been made to realize the personality and power of the noble man to whom this book is dedicated.

On the nineteenth of January, 1905, Professor Frank Adrian Leach died of pneumonia at the Presbyterian Hospital, New York City. His work at Williston began in September, 1892, during the administration of Dr. William Gallagher. Professor Leach came to Williston directly from Amherst College, where he had gained an enviable reputation both as an athlete and as a scholar. During the first year his work was done in the department of athletics, of which he was practically the responsible director during his entire twelve years' service. In 1893 he was transferred to the Science Department and made professor of Chemistry and Biology. His sweet, sympathetic nature made him a great favorite with his pupils and they found themselves inspired by his enthusiasm. His 8

willingness to labor untiringly in their behalf made them equally untiring in their eagerness to please him. In Biology he used no text book, but following the laboratory method, he taught from notes and drawings which he made himself,revising and improving the manuscript each year. His knowledge of chemical properties was so extensive and so exact and his methods in analysis were so ingenious and so effective that to his pupils he often seemed to possess the magical touch of the enchanter. Students who had enjoyed the benefit of his instruction in Biology and Chemistry rarely failed to forge rapidly to the front in the medical and polytechnic schools.

In athletics his influence was always exerted on the side of clean, manly sport. He loved the rigor of the game and rejoiced in the skilful play of his team, but he never wished to win by roughness, unfairness or indirection. He believed in athletics as a means of moulding men and of developing vigorous and strenuous character. What Williston athletics has owed to him during the past twelve years it would be impossible to estimate.

Professor Leach was great as a teacher, he was great as an athlete and as an organizer and developer of athletic prowess, but he was supremely great as a man. All his work as a teacher was done in the spirit_of devotion and consecration. For the sake of fidelity to his work, to his school, to his boys, he was ever ready to risk everything, even life itself. And at the last it was his sublime and unselfish devotion to the work of the school, at a time when prudence and the united judgment of friend and physician counseled cessation of all work and a prolonged period of rest and recreation,which more than anything else was the cause of his untimely death.

He was a man of the purest moral character, whose ideals were high, whose conversation often turned to the things of the spirit and who by silent influences as well as by direct example, whether on the campus or in the class room,"allured to brighter worlds and led the way."

The memory of such a life is very fragrant, and to those who knew him best and loved him most its grand lessons of self achievement, of unselfish devotion, of unshaken fidelity to trust, of patient endurance, of lingering pain and of firm faith in the life immortal will never cease to counsel, to encourage and to inspire.

WILLISTON SEMINARY.

ILLISTON SEMINARY is situated in the beautiful village of Easthampton, Mass., in the very center of a cluster of educational institutions. The founding of the school originated in the mind of the Hon. Samuel Williston, a man whom hundreds of young men and women have learned to love and respect. After years of thought and deliberation as to the best method of bestowing his charities, Mr. Williston decided to found Williston Seminary for young mei) and women. In February, 1841, work was begun, and in December of the same year the school was opened to students. The institution then consisted of one two-story wooden building. Students remained in the school-room to study under the direction of the principal, Luther Wright. The first building was found to be inadequate for the school was popular from the first and had opened with a roll of ninety names. Hence, in 1844,a second building— the present Middle Hall—was erected. This was a three-story building containing dormitories and recitation rooms. In March, 1857,the original building was destroyed by fire and the present South Hall was erected in its place. The Gymnasium was built in 1864, and North Hall in 1866. Later, the Mansion House was purchased and became Payson Hall, the School Cottage and Dining Hall. In 1872,the Astronomical Observatory was erected, and furnished with a sextant and a five-inch refracting telescope. In 1864, the School ceased to be co-educational, and it has since then been a school for boys.

The laboratories have been fitted with all necessary apparatus at a great expense, and the classical departments have their rooms decorated with famous paintings and works of sculpture.

That the students might have every opportunity for developing strong muscles and healthy bodies, a lot of six acres was lately taken from the

Williston homestead,and has been converted into an athletic field,containing a quarter mile oval track, a straightaway track and football and baseball fields. It also contains a grand-stand and an athletic house. The teachers in every department have always been the best men obtainable, and by association with them the Williston man is led to feel a desire for the brightest and best things of life. Attendance at Church twice each Sunday is required, and devotional exercises are conducted by the principal every morning, except Sunday, in the Seminary chapel. A Y. M. C. A., conducted by students, holds its weekly meetings in the Y. M. C. A. room each Sunday afternoon. A valuable library of many volumes and a reading room containing the leading periodicals and newspapers are found in Middle Hall. The different departments also each contain valuable libraries. Two debating societies, Adelphi and Gamma Sigma, give opportunity for practice in debating.

The School for the past nine years has been under the able management of Rev. Joseph Henry Sawyer, A. M., L. H. D. His ability as Principal is shown by the increased roll of students and the hearty cooperation between students and teachers. The School has been brought to this good condition only by the efforts of its founder and teachers, and every Williston man has a great love for his Alma Mater, a great honor and respect for those who have made it what it is, and each one, remembering that "not failure, but low aim is crime," is striving to bring honor and credit to Williston Seminary.

JOSEPH HENRY S A NV VER.

310sEpil hENRY SAWYER, M. A., L. H. D., was born in Davenport, Delaware County, N. Y., May 29, 1842. He took his preparatory course partly in the local schools and partly in Franklin Academy,at Franklin, N. Y. He entered Amherst College in 1861, and graduated four years later with the highest honors, missing the valedictory only by cast of the lot. The year after graduation he taught in Munson Academy. In 1806, he came to Williston, where he has remained ever since, in various capacities. During his years of teaching here he has taught Mental and Moral Science, English, History, Astronomy,Physics, Surveying and Mathematics.

His services at Williston Seminary have been so various, so invaluable, and so long continued that he ranks only second to Samuel Williston on the School's Roll of Honor. His special care in the school has been the scientific side, and its present flourishing condition speaks well for his efforts. He participated in both the quarter-centennial anniversary in 1866, and the semi-centennial in 1891. He expended much time and trouble in preparing and printing the Alumni Record in 1875,#20 and has since kept up the alumni correspondence to perfect it as much as possible. In 1876, Principal Whiton was late in arriving, and Dr. Sawyer organized and managed the school for him. In the fall of 1878, he rendered a similar service to Dr. Fairbanks. He was Acting Principal from 1884 to 1886. He spent the years 1895-6 in travel and study abroad, and on his return became Principal of the School.

During his residence in Easthampton he has served three years as a member of the Water Board,six years as chairman of the School Board and ten years as chairman of the Sewer Commission. For ten years he was superintendent of the Payson Church Sunday School, and in 1872 he 15

rat,

REV. JOSEPH II. SAWYER, A. M., L. IL 1).

was licensed to preach by the Hampshire Association. He has five times been invited to assume church pamtorates and was once elected superintendent of schools in Portland, Ore.

His management of the school as principal has been in every respect successful. The membership of the school has increased from 104 to about 200. The Sawyer Athletic Field,vith all its equipments, was secured through his own personal influence. And the enthusiastic welcome which the student body gave Dr. and Mrs. Sawyer on their return from a winter spent in Italy in 1904, testified to his popularity throughout the school. The older members of the faculty praise Dr. Sawyer's wise and tactful leadership and all agree that social life at Williston was never so attractive and the moral tone of the school never so high as under his guidance.

SENIOR CLASS.

00 see the reverend Seniors it seems difficult to think of the time when they were peewees, but such a time there once was. Our class may be said to have been born when away back in 1901 a little fellow stepped into the office and asked in Latin if he could secure a room. Ile gave his name as Georgius Hurd,and as soon as an interpreter could be secured lie was accommodated. A few days later John Russel Dexter Campbell appeared followed by Vetterling and some others who have since left school, but on the whole our beginnings were small. Indeed it is quite possible that the faculty never suspected that these few students formed the nucleus of the most important class ever graduated from Williston. The next year, however, any doubts as to our ability were easily dispelled.

Alvin Hubbard walked over from Hamp,refusing to ride because it was too much like using a horse; England sent Wordsworth to be civilized; Soudant wandered up from Collinsville; two or three fellows came up from Brockton to see if what Miles said about the school was true.

Several others came in that year but our largest growth was during thg next when we acquired such men as "Wild 13ill" Paine, Dennie and Hills in athletics; and Colvin, Hitchcock and "Patsy" Flynn in social life. This was the year in which we began to make ourselves felt in athletics, winning the gym meet by a score greater than those of the other classes combined. We then organized the only really successful class baseball team in school that year. In this connection we are moved to express our sympathy to the bucks who never have met our famous manager,"Doc" Willard.

As the spring term progressed till finally we marched out of church last June with our canes over our shoulders, we had a presentiment, which has since been justified, that the school would not lack for a worthy senior class this fall.

As our last year opened we had a few bucks, principally from Unionville high school, where they can't teach algebra, and the usual number of backsliders, foremost among whom is "Pit" Johnson ex '04, ex '03. Otto von Ludwig Henry Martin Lyding decided to stay and repeat a few subjects to show the fellows how well grounded they had been the year before. Fat Seymour who had been waiting for another odd year to come along next got on—but we have already overstepped the space allowed us. A tree is known by its fruits. To know more of '05 read on through these pages.

SENIOR ST.kTISTK15.

AT the beginning of the spring term blanks were passed out to the Seniors on which to vote as to the characteristics of the members of the class and of the faculty. These votes have been counted and tabulated and the results appear in the following pages for the enjoyment of those who got the plums and the contempt of those who got something else.

The men who received the largest totals of votes are P. H. Johnson, Otto Lyding, Paine, Emerson, Dawson and Colvin, so it may be pre- sumed that these are the most distinguished men of the class, although many of the votes that helped swell these totals might not be considered a distinction by those receiving them. In the faculty votes the results were Tibbetts, Morse, Buffum, Calland and Merritt. Prof. Tibbetts easily leads with six firsts and three seconds out of a possible fourteen. The favorite amusements are numerous and include basking, talking, fussing,cutting,watching others work,psychology and shooting craps, but 1905 has always been famous for getting much enjoyment out of life. Feminology was seen to be a very favorite Williston study; quite a few fellows are now taking a post graduate. course in this subject and all are sorry to leave the magnificently furnished laboratories of Easthampton, Northampton and South Hadley. •

The college preferences stand as follows: Yale, 10; Cornell, 6; Williams, 4; Amherst, 4; Princeton,4; Harvard, 3; Leland Stanford, 3; M. I. T., 2; University of Pennsylvania, 2; Dartmouth, 2; Worcester Tech,'2; Michigan, Trinity, Georgetown, Lehigh, Bernarr McFadden and University of Yucatan, 1 each.

The average age is about 193% years; the average height, 5 feet 8.8 inches; the average weight, 155.2 pounds. The oldest man in the class is Jefferson,'25 years; the youngest, G. A. Hurd, 17 years; the tallest is Carpenter,6 feet; the shortest is Quijano, 5 feet 2 inches; the heaviest is Harter, 220 pounds, and the lightest is Simon, 125 pounds.

TIIE DIANA Ole VERSAILLES.

NEITHER the time nor the place of the discovery of this beautiful statue is known. It has been in France for a long time, and is believed to be one of the 184 pieces that Primaticcio brought from Rome for Francis 1, early in the sixteenth century. At first it was kept at Versailles, hence its name. Since 1798 it has been in the Louvre. Critics regard this Diana as the work of the first century A. D. It belongs probably to the same period, and possibly to the same sculptor as the Apollo Belvidere.

FAREWELL OF 1905.

41;0 AO°

ITH these pages we close the section of Lou dedicated to 1905 and turn to the various branches of Williston life as a whole, social, athletic and literary. As Seniors the responsibility of directing the different organizations of the school has fallen largely on our shoulders, and a glance over the following pages will show you how ably we have borne this responsibility. In the fall our men formed the mainstay of the team that tore down the gridiron through all opposition to victory. In the gymnasium they gave a fine exhibition of the violent attraction between the ball and their opponent's basket. And now on the diamond many "young airships" are being punctured and many bats broken in gaining home runs,as college after college goes home defeated. Adelphi, Gamma Sigma, and the WILLISTONIAN have had a very prosperous year and the Lou speaks for itself.

These, Gentlemen of the class of 1906, are the standards which you must maintain next year as the Senior Class of Williston Seminary. You must be wise and dignified as all Seniors are and as we have been ; you must show respect to the faculty and be ready to follow their sage counsels, and you must take great care lest the gay and verdant "bucksto-be" tarnish the good name of the school with their over-exuberance of spirits. And so we regretfully draw off our toga and lay it upon your shoulders, feeling sure that you will bear it manfully and honorably.

We are sure that our place will be well filled, but we are sorry to leave the old school, our friends on the faculty and our brother students. Some of us have been here four years, some only one; but whatever their number they have been the happiest of our lives. We may have learned little or much from our books, but we have gained the experience that is so much more valuable. We have found many pleasures in these years at Williston and many life-long friendships have been formed here, friendships that will flow on and on till they reach the sea, over cliffs and through pleasant valleys, through dark tunnels or under cloudless skies, but always side by side. Our contact with the faculty has given us the companionship of high minded men and has grafted many ideals onto our lives which would otherwise never have found root there. And, as we are about to step out from its sheltering walls, we feel that whatever success we achieve in the future will be firmly built on a Williston foundation and that as time rolls on our Alma Mater will hold an ever dearer place in our hearts.

'1 I IS year the LOG Board has made the venturesome experiment of entrusting the Middlers' Editorial to an '06 man and this is the result:

There is always much interest manifested in the Middle Class here

at Williston. It seems to be the pivot around which the other classes revolve. It generally has the largest number of members and its representatives are the victors in all inter-class contests. And why should it not be so? This class may well be called the potential class of the school for it holds in its grasp the making of the Senior Class of the following year. It is therefore an important factor in Williston. If it is composed of fellows who by their past records and ability will honor the school as Seniors, it is a good sign and inversely it is a bad sign if it lacks such members.

how does 1906 conform to these requirements? Iler work for the past three years is in itself assurance enough. This year she has continued to achieve distinction in all avenues of school activity. The opening of the fall term witnessed the triumph of '06 in the fall track meet. Then followed a series of other victories which culminated in the defeat of the other classes in the "gym" meet. In celebration of this a bonfire was made on the campus,and the class further evinced its prowess when it trounced the '05 and '07 fellows who attempted to interfere with the fire.

A class with such a record must have some remarkable members and '06 has them. In baseball she boasts of Scully, the varsity captain; of Keiber, the school's famous twirler, and of Arias, her popular class

captain. On the football team appeared O'Neil, Keiber, Knight and "Fat" Hersey, all Middlers. On the cinders White and Gaines excel in the dashes, while Beach, Gildersleeve and Baldwin are all good men. Knight's fame at hockey is well known, but her greatest prize is "Joe" Walcott, the tallest man in the school. Pond manages the class teams in great shape and he vies with Whitehead for the distinction of "class fusser." "Jimmy" Keough, the class rough houser, has been of great service in all the rushes of the year. The pet of the class secured a leave of absence early in the year and his departure caused much regret to his friends. "Jack"Harvey must not be forgotten for he is our star gymnast. 64 Bosco" Lynde, who hails from Vermont, supplies the school with maple sugar direct from the Williamston mines. We say farewell to you noble '05. You have had a prosperous existence and you leave behind you an ideal that we shall strive hard to maintain. We feel confident that as Seniors we will in no way lower the standard of that class, but on the contrary we shall raise it higher than ever before.

llEopening of the fall term saw an increased enrollment in the class of 1907. In a few days the class was well organized and a spirit of "get up and get there" aroused.

The class has been well represented in all the phases of the "Rem" life and a very creditable showing has been made. Space will not permit the mention of all the promising men of the class yet the names"Buck" Solari," Irishman"K wong and M U1111 44 Around," the 44 gridiron wonder?" must not remain unsung. The names 44 Bobby" Crowell, captain of the football team, and 44 Jimmy"Scully, basketball captain, speak for themselves, while it is expected that 44 Lanky" Connery,"Big" Porter and 44 Daniel Boone"Preston will startle the "track world "in the coming spring meet. "Shorty" Norris has easily demonstrated his superiority as "school gymnast" and "Risley" Conant easily excels as "fusser." On the diamond"Reggie" Morrissey and "Pete" Taylor are able manipulators of the 64 sphere."

Here the brief history of our class must be drawn to a close and we are assured that this year's achievements will be followed by next year's supremacy.

JUNIOR EI)ITORI1. A

ACCORDING to the usual custom we have decided to devote a page of our valuable book to the Pee-wees. Of course our readers may criticise our act, but we ask you to bear with us, in-as-much-as it will please the children.

There is no doubt that as a class, 1908 has at least equalled any previous Pee-wee class, with the exception of the one of four years ago. Certainly "Bill" Weston has entertained us by his skillful bag-punching, and Funsten, Hunt and McCarthy bid fair to rival some of their 1906 friends in athletic prowess.

The class to be sure is small and its members fresh, but still we have hopes for their future, provided they follow this advice.

"Lend a deaf ear to '06; carfully read this Log, and learn of the noble deeds of the Seniors, and how they reached their exalted position, and maybe,someday, you too may be seniors. Who can tell?"

THE GREEK ROOM.

AT the twenty-fifth anniversary of the L. L. D. society, in Northampton, on May 28, 1904, it was enthusiastically resolved to establish a memorial of the quarter-centennial by renovating and otherwise equipping the Greek recitation room to the full extent of what its necessities might be. Dr. Sawyer and Prof. Morse were pleased with this offer and cheerfully relieved the committee of the details of carrying out the work. The committee's appeals for contributions met with generous responses from all parts of the country, and from members of almost every class, beginning with '79, since the founding of the society.

The work done includes a new steel ceiling of classic design, being a variation of the Greek fret, the favorite conventionalized honey-suckle, the acanthus Bower,and the button and bead,egg and dart moulding. Its resplendent white offers a charming contrast with the dark olive of the wainscotting and the light olive of the walls; and all this color is appreciably brightened by the abundant light which the spacious room enjoys from its eight windows. A new desk of weathered oak, panelled with skill and taste, was furnished for the teacher's platform; also a comfortable chair, finished in dressed leather of a light green tint.

Among the other features of the room is a unique bit of apparatus for class work in the shape of a heavy easel furnished with a glass frame in which photographs may be displayed. Moreover, a new plaster cast of Nike Apteros has been installed,and at the expense of the school, all the pictures that bang upon the walls have been newly framed. Upon the completion of the work Dr. Sawyer wrote as follows:

"I think by common consent the Greek room is now regarded as the best furnished room in the school."

THE WHAAST(..)N CLUB AT VALE.

AWILLISTON man who enters Yale never need feel that be is a stranger in a strange land. Friends he finds at once, some thirty of them, good Williston men, all glad to welcome him and help him in every way in their power. And the place too does not seem wholly strange for Yale typifies among colleges that same spirit of democracy which Williston represents among preparatory schools. Easily he fits into the new world and with new friends—who seem like old friends—to help him; he cannot fail to gain from college life all of power and pleasure that it lies in him to take.

For half a century there has been a Williston Club at Yale,sometimes active, sometimes less in the public eye, but always wholly loyal to its first Alma Mater. Its records have not been kept, but it has always contained men of prominence and ability. Its former members now are known as among the most distinguished and popular members of the faculty, men such as Peck, Bailey, Hawkes and Gale.

And today the club is not behind the standard set in previous years. Its members are active in every branch of college life. In scholarship they prove that in scholarship Williston is second to none. Of the present Junior class not a single Williston man failed to get a "Junior Appointment." Two of tbe entering class received honorable mention for the Chamberlain Greek prize. The Lit., the Dramatic Association, the Musical Clubs, the "Ten Eyck" contest in oratory, Phi Beta Kappa and Sinonia all have representatives from old Williston. But the factor that makes the club dear to its members is the hearty good fellowship that it represents. Informal smokers are held two or three times a term and at them many a good time of preparatory school days is enjoyed once more, and any news of old friends or of the old school is eagerly passed from

man to man. On several occasions members of the Williston faculty have brought down some message in person and it is needless to say with what pleasure the club has entertained them. The present membership is as follows:

AMHERST-WILLISTON CLUB.

0.0

THE history which possesses the most vital interest nowadays is that which is in process of making, the history of the immediate past. In presenting that of the Amherst-Williston club it is not necessary to search for material more ancient than the doings of the current year. The club remembers with pride the record which Williston men have made at Amherst since 1889, when the club was organized according to the only available records, but we believe that the keenest interest, will be felt in our record since we were last presented to the readers of the LOG.

No introduction to an article of this nature could be complete without mention of Dr. Edward Hitchcock, universally beloved at Amherst and known at Williston for his attractive personality. During the past winter Dr. Hitchcock suffered an attack of grip and went south to recover his strength. We were all glad to see him in Amherst again as the spring opened and much improved in health.

Last year the club introduced an innovation by offering a cup to be competed for by members of the Adelphi and Gamma Sigma debating societies in the annual joint debate, the name of the best speaker each year to be inscribed upon the cup. The club has been much gratified to note the interest taken in this contest by the members of the societies and are pleased to know that already both societies have had the names of representatives engraved upon the cup.

In accordance with its constant policy to actively promote the welfare of Old Williston to the utmost of its ability by selecting the objects of greatest need and contributing to them, the club last fall listened with deep interest to a presentation, by the manager of the track team, of the need for medals to be awarded to the winners of events in the fall athletic meet. Feeling that this request was for an excellent object the club gladly furnished the medal.

During the past year Williston men have held their customary high place in the college life. During the past winter four Williston men played upon the Varsity basketball team. The school has also a representative upon the baseball team. Williston men have served upon the junior"prom" committee and the sophomore hop committee, thus keeping at the front in a social way. In debating, two of the eight contestants

for the Xing prize were from the well loved school and one of them was chosen to debate against Bowdoin and was awarded the King prize. We have been represented upon the Student board and the Olio board, while the musical clubs and the college choir would be sadly handicapped if deprived of our services. The Y. M. C. A. has been ably led while under the presidency of a former president of the school Y. M. C. A. and again during the coming year the leadership of the society will be in the hands of a Williston man. The manager of the basketball team for next year and also the business manager of the Olio are of our number.

It is needless to say that we feel the strongest interest in all the doings of our first Alma Mater, and especially in the athletic line. When Williston won from Amherst in basketball and baseball the sentiment among us was that if we Must be beaten we could find much more pleasure in losing to them than to another team. May Williston always be strong enough to win from her rivals and win new lustre for her name.

eilT is with much interest that we watch the increase of spirit between Williams and Williston. In the earlier days of Williston,there were a goodly number of its alumni at Williams. Then there came a lapse when there were few,if any, who could associate the two names together. We hope that the interest which has sprung up again within the last few years may continue to grow, and that it will be a means of stimulating the men to higher ideals both in college and preparatory school.

There is no question but that a club of this kind can be of great benefit not only to its members, but to all who have any intention of entering college. It is often difficult for a man who is preparing for college to decide in what institution he shall pursue his advanced studies; and it is the,purpose of our club to give one such advice and information as we can. We assure the men of Williston that we will be pleased to hear from, and correspond with anyone who has the least idea of coming to Williams.

The alumni of Williston of Williams have much in common with each other. Although not of the same class, the men were more or less acquainted during their preparatory school days. The pleasanter incidents of our Easthampton life are often recalled, and they characterize one of the greatest pleasures that we derive from our meetings. The club was organized in the fall of 1902, with a membership of eight; and although its numbers are still small, we feel sure that the interest has grown steadily. This year we are pleased to have as president of our organization Herbert B. Howe, 1901; vice-president, Frank R. Neild, 1902; secretary, Kenneth S. Domett, 1903, and treasurer, Nathaniel Mills, 1904.

The Williston alumni are well represented in many lines of the college activities. Howe, 1901, is manager of the baseball association ;

Neild, 1902, has maintained his good record and is captain of the basketball team and plays on the 'Varsity baseball; Hobson, 1902,is manager of the basketball association, and member of the board of editors of the "Williams Record "; Wilcox, ex-1903, has held his position on the class football and baseball teams; Moffet, 1903, not only made the class football but also played on the Williams second; Domett, 1903, plays field on the class baseball; and Mills, 1904, is a member of the class football.

THE WILLISTON iVI`lILETIC ASSOCIATION.

0'11E Williston Athletic Association was organized in 1890 and in that year the Constitution and By-Laws of the association were adopted. These remained in force until the year 1904. On the 21st of November, 1904, an important amendment prepared by Principal Joseph H. Sawyer, Edward F. Jefferson, 1905, and Frederick H. MacRobert, 1905, a committee speCially appointed for the purpose, was adopted by a vote of the school. This amendment providing for the selection of an Athletic Advisory Committee and conferring upon them large and important powers, annulled so large a part of the existing Constitution that it became necessary to submit a new draft of the Constitution and By-Laws for the approval of the school. At a school meeting held April, 1905, this new constitution was adopted. The athletic interests of the school have been conducted in the manner prescribed by the Revised • Constitution during almost an entire school year. Under the new regime subscriptions for the support of the several athletic teams have considerably increased, unusually competent and energetic men have been chosen as managers, every captain has been able to report more victories than defeats for his team and every manager has been able to hand over to the treasurer a substantial balance after all the season's bills were paid. It is the universal feeling that Williston athletics were never more wisely directed than they are today and the outlook for the future was never more promising.

FOOTBALL.

Ai' 0

THE football season of 1904, will go down in history as one long to be remembered. Athletically the season was a great success. Financially a still greater success and the greatest of all was the evidence of the old Williston spirit which showed itself in every game.

The season started out with the brightest kospects; IIolyoke High was easily defeated, and Ludlow by a close score, Amherst barely escaped with a single touchdown. Springfield Training School was the only team against which Williston did not have a chance and the heavy Springfield team who afterwards made such a brilliant record said that Williston was one of their hardest opponents. Later the Cambridge Manual Training School, Storrs, Aggie and Williams Fresh teams were easily defeated and Yale Fresh was tied. Then Dean and Worcester academies defeated the Williston team.

The early part of the season, the Williston line was very weak, but later on developed into a tower of strength. The ends were exceptionally strong. The work of the back field was at first very crude, but when the men were rounded into shape it proved to be an almost irresistible combination. The most deplorable part of the work of the whole team was the unnecessary fumbling at critical times, which without doubt lost the day for Williston, in both the Yale Fresh and Worcester games. The tackling at all times was of a high standard and the bunting and goal kicking very good.

Captain Barrett at quarter used fine generalship and kept the team continually on the jump. He set a good example and had the respect and obedience of every man on the squad. Coach Calland and Assistant Coach Merritt come in for a large share of our •commendation. Mr. CaHand, starting with but four of last year's men, rounded the team into the best possible form. Mr. Merritt did fine work in keeping a fast

second team in the field, which proved to be of great aid to the first team. To Manager Keough should be given the praise for his fine schedule and successful engineering of the whole season. A pleasant feture of the whole season was the school cheering, which eclipsed that of any ofthe rival schools.

THE basketball season of 1905, was a glorious one indeed and compared well with all previous successful seasons. The basketball teams which Williston has produced in the last few years have all been in the rank with the best college teams and the crack team of 1905, has compared favorably with any of the former teams. The prospects at the opening of the season were not very bright as only two regular men were back to start the team, but by the hardest kind of work, Captain Raymond developed a five which was a credit to himself and to the school which it represented. The two forwards, Captain Raymond and James Scully, were the fastest pair which have ever been seen in the Williston gymnasium. Each has a most remarkable record. In seventeen games played, Captain Raymond threw seventy baskets to his opponents five. In as many games played, James Scully threw sixty baskets to his opponents ten. As a captain, Raymond was the right man for the place. He was a hard worker, a clean and fast player; and a truer sportsman never captained a Williston basketball team. John Scully and Crowell were two guards who could be relied upon at all times, and both were fighters to the finish." Dingle at center played his first year on the team and his excellent guarding in all of his games is well deserving of mention. He will no doubt make a valuable man for the team next year. The two substitutes, Andrews and Donovan were steady players,and good guards as well as forwards.

The schedule as arranged by Manager Cronecker was the best but the hardest that a Williston team has ever played. The team won twelve games and lost five. We who had the opportunity of seeing the team win and lose are proud of the above record and are likewise doubly proud

of the school who stood behind the team and cheered the men as heartily in the face of defeat as in the anticipation of sure victory. But the last goal has been thrown and the referee's shrill whistle has long been silent; now we are awaiting with confidence, the opening of the next basketball season.

CLASS BASKETBALL.

01t the first time in many years class spirit has again pushed its way to the front and each of the four classes elected a basketball captain and manager. Immediately the candidates for the teams were called forth and began practicing for the coming conflicts. The gymnasium was reserved at special times for each team to practice, which they did very conscientiously until the time arrived for the first of the interclass basketball games. Much enthusiasm was shown in each of the participating classes who turned out to see their team either conquerors or conquered.

The starting game was between the Seniors and the Middlers, which resulted in a victory for the Seniors. That same afternoon the game for the '07 class and '08 class was scheduled and more students joined those who had already become interested in these games. The second game ended in a victory for the '07 class. After a week or two the final games were played for the rank of champions between the Seniors and the '07 class, and the Middlers against the '08 class. Both of these games resulted in victories for the upper class teams, which gave the Seniors strong advantage over the other classes for the Seniors had a clear record of victories and each one of the others had been defeated one game. The next game was an easy victory for the Seniors over the '08 class and gave to the Seniors the title of champions. It must be said that the '07 team gave the champions the hardest game and to win from them was no easy feat. The members of the team representing the Senior class were Dawson, captain, Hutchinson, Brides, Perrin, Dennie and Keough. The following is the record of the games:

E may feel justly proud of the fact that Williston possesses one of the finest athletic fields of any preparatory school in the country. And we are also doubly proud of her track teams. All of Williston's track teams have been of a high order and last year's team was no exception. Coach Rogers and Captain Thomas had a large number of men working on the track during the whole season and under this careful coaching many new men were developed into first-class track men.

Captain Thomas made an ideal leader as his knowledge of all the different events was unlimited. His specialty was the weights but at the Dartmouth meet he surprised many by winning the two hurdle races and also the hundred yard dash. As the age limit barred our team from going to Yale, Captain Thomas took his men to the Dartmouth Interscholastic meet and won first place easily. Captain Thomas alone won twenty-five points.

The interclass gymnastic meet this last winter was one of the best ever held. One record was broken and many were equalled. The class of '06 won the meet and Norris '07 won the title of school gymnast.

URI-NG the past year a sport new to Williston was started in the game of hockey. The season of 1905, was such a pronounced success, and the interest which the game aroused so deep, that we trust the seed which the team of 1905 has sown will grow and in 1900, the hockey team will be recognized as one of the regular athletic teams of the school. The first game was played with the Northampton High School team. Williston had the better team work and won easily. A second game was played and again Williston showed her superiority over the same team by beating it 10 to 0. The Williston team was severely handicapped in all its games by the lack of a suitable place for practice. If this could have been found Williston could have met any of the college teams and given it a first-class game.

One of the best games of the season was played with the fast Springfield High team, the game ending in a tie. Ten minutes overtime was played but as neither team could score the game was called on account of darkness. The final game of the season was played with the invincible Springfield Training School team. Lack of practice showed itself in this game and Williston lost 4 to 0.

Of the individual work little can be said, as in every game team work was the predominating feature. However the two main stays of the team proved to be Captain Davenport and Day. The other two forward positions were played by Whited and Knight and although both were very light men they were in every scrimmage and seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of grit and courage. The position of cover-point was well taken care of by Emerson, who showed aggressiveness and wonderful coolness. The defence was especially strong; Soudant and Bowen were easily stars in their respective positions of point and goal. Johnson as substitute played an unusually steady game. 107

BASEBALL.

LOSE upon the heels of basketball in Williston comes that next important and beloved sport—baseball. It comes next in importance to basketball because Williston is getting to be known throughout the country equally as well through her baseball as basketball victories. Last year was an exceptionally successful season. The outlook at the beginning of the season was especially encouraging and under Coach CaHand's careful coaching, the team was rounded into shape with wonderful rapidity. Coach Calland impressed upon each man that hard and consistent daily training must be observed else a successful season could not be hoped for.

All went into the work with the true Williston spirit, the result being one of the most successful seasons Williston has ever experienced in baseball. The team made an excellent showing against the Springfield Professional team and the next week defeated the Colby College team 5 to 0. The two best games on the schedule were played with the Holy Cross Prep. team and the Holy Cross Second team. The former team beat Williston by one .run but the latter team, although having the same pitcher could not defeat the Gold and Blue, and two runs were scored by Williston in the last inning. Easthampton was beaten twice and the season was a success athletically and financially.

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 fadeth, 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.

AD ELPHI.

NOR over fifty years Adelphi has held a prominent place in Williston Seminary, and during this long history she has in no way degenerated, but to-day stands the pride of all Adelphians. The fact that more members have been added to her roll this year than any previous year, is convincing proof that the society has not outlived her usefulness. Beyond this, the attendance at the weekly meetings, the enthusiasm shown and the character of work offered by the members, has been very encouraging. Consequently when the time came for Adelphi to choose her team for the Annual Joint Debate, the society found so many who were capable of filling the position, that it was with difficulty that she decided upon the three men to represent her. The Joint Debate which took place on March 17, was without doubt the crowning event of the year, and marked an epoch in the history of Adelphi, for it was on this occasion that she defeated her worthy opponent, Gamma Sigma, the fifth time, and thus gave the F. C. trophy cup a permanent place in her hall.

During the first decade, the Adelphi had the following passage for its motto, which was conspicuous in the society ball: "Philosophy, wisdom and liberty support each other. He who will not reason is a bigot; he who cannot is a fool; he who dares not is a slave." Well may Adelphi stand and gaze with pride on the army of men who have passed from her walls during the past half century, many of whom are living witnesses of the benefits of the society.

GAMMA SIGMA.

011E Gamma Sigma Society was founded in 1870. It organized as a fraternity, there being but two such societies in the school at that time. Secret debates were held by the members, but later, in 1874, these debates were made public and the society adapted their present order of business, conducting a public debate, followed by a private business meeting. The membership is restricted to Scientific and Latin Scientific men of the school. In 1880, through the generosity of alumni members, several hundred dollars were raised for the furnishing of a suitable room with a small library.

The society published a small magazine called the "Mirror" and also the 4, Campus and Hall." At the present time the "Mirror" constitutes a part of the public meetings. The social and literary advantages of the society are of great value to the scientific men, as all alumni will testify. Although a younger society than her rival, Adelphi, she has gained an equal footing before the school.

SI"N IN I ARV OF JOINT DEBATES

BETWEEN ADELPIII AND GAMMA SIGMA.

.k7

WOR over fifty years debating has held a prominent place in Williston activities. Adelphi held undisputed sway until 1870, but theu the scientific men organized a debating society under the name of Gamma Sigma. For twenty years the two societies struggled along side by side against the perils which beset such organizations, and soon a spirit of friendly rivalry sprang up between them. In 1890 this culminated in the idea of a joint debate to be held in the seminary chapel. Accordingly each society chose three champions to defend its name and fame. They fought a long but bloodless contest on the battlefield of a twenty word question,and when the smoke of the fiery eloquence cleared Gamma Sigma was declared victor. Ever since this the annual joint debate has been a firmly established Williston institution and grows more important every year.

Up to 1897 Melphi had won five of these contests and Gamma Sigma two. That year the F.C.society brought debating into still greater prominence by offering a handsome silver cup as a trophy. This cup was to be debated for every year, to be the property for one year of the winning society and to remain permanently in the possession of the society which first won it five times. For two years it stayed with Gamma Sigma. Adelphi captured it in 1899, but was forced to yield it to Gamma Sigma twice more. Since then the classical men have won it every year and by virtue of the result of the debate of 1905—generally considered the best of the series—the cup will find its final resting place in old Adelphi, an everlasting tribute to the .ability of the fifteen men who placed it there. And now that the struggle is over a new one is opened to ambitious debaters, for the F. C. society has generously offered a second cup even more handsome than the first, subject to the same conditions. May the same spirit of friendly rivalry continue and may the best man win.

As an additional stimulus the Williston Club of Amherst College offered two years ago a fine sterling silver cup to be awarded each year to the man who,in the opinion of the judges, gives the best individual

debate. His name is engraved thereon and the cup remains for one year in the possession of the society to which be belongs. In 1904 Charles N. Harmon won it for Adelphi, and in 1905 George H. Colvin for Gamma Sigma. We give here the records of the.debates of the past and express the hope that those of the future will be as successful, as interesting and as warmly contested.

THE WILLISTONIAN.

N athletics and along scholastic as well as social lines the past year, the school has never been more prosperous, and safe to say the WILLISTONIAN has shared in the general prosperity.

Previous to the publication of the WILLISTONIAN, the Adelphi and Gamma Sigma debating societies each published a monthly paper, but the school felt the need of a weekly paper and hence the two societies joined in the attempt to give to the school the WiLusTorriArr. The standard set by the founders was high; the board the past year have tried to maintain this standard by conducting the publication along the same lines as laid down by their predecessors. The school as a whole supported the paper loyally and the past board take's this opportunity of publicly thanking the faculty and the entire student body who have co-operated in making the WILLISTONIAN the success which it really has been.

In editing the WILLISTONIAN it has been the endeavors of the past board to present to the school, in as readable and interesting a form as possible, the most important events in the life of the school, and through its editorial columns to touch adequately yet concisely upon matters of interest, to suggest improvements and never lose sight of the fact that each one is here to work for Williston and not for self.

#INCE the founding of the Young Men's Christian Association in the year 1880, it has been a thriving and influential organization. It was established for the purpose of joining the students of Williston, as one family in Christian fellowship, and for the purpose of broadening the Christian life of the school. The work of the past year has been very encouraging. The weekly meetings which have been addressed by the students as well as by delegates from various colleges, have been well attended. The membership roll shows a favorable increase, and the competent and sincere men, who were recently elected to guide the organization through the coming year are a sufficient guarantee of future success. The Bible Class, which was started in connection with the Y. M. C. A. last year, has been carried on with increased interest, and much good has resulted. One of the social features of the year is the annual reception given at the opening of the school year by the Association. At this gathering one cannot but be impressed by the good fellowship which exists in the School, and every new man is made to feel that he is a member of one harmonious family. Bearing in mind the past usefulness of the organization, we feel confident that as long as Williston stands,the Y. M. C. A. will continue to bold a place in the School.

GLEE CLUB.

THE social event of the year is without question the Senior Promenade, but the annual Glee Club concert has an undisputed right to come next in importance. The Glee Club concert this year was an unquestioned success both socially and financially. All worked together in perfect harmony with Director Munn and Leader Barrett to make the concert a success and those who were instrumental in formulating and carrying out the plans deserve all the praise and commendation which we can bestow upon them.

The first number on the programme was the "Stein Song." This ever popular piece was well sung and the parts were exceedingly well balanced. The next number was a banjo solo by Stoughton, '06. He showed himself to be an artist on this instrument and responded to an encore. The Williston quartette then made their appearance and their presence was greeted with loud applause. Prof. Weeks' solo, "The Clang of the Forge," was the next number and the song was well received

'111'1

by the audience as the piece seemed to be well suited to his rich voice. To dwell in detail upon each of the remaining numbers on the program would entail a wearisome repetition of laudatory adjectives. Dawson's whistling solo *deserves special mention as also does Johnson's stump speech together with Day's solo. But if one number on the program is to receive mention above another, it is that which held the place and attention of every person in the audience—Leader Barrett's violin solo. His first selection received unlimited applause and when he responded to an encore and played "Ave Maria," its familiarity was at once evident and those wonderfully harmonious chords were produced as only such an artist can produce them. The Williston Hymn was sung as the final number on the program and all expressed their sentiments in a way that left no doubt in the minds of those who took part, that the concert of 1905 was the best ever given by a Williston Glee Club.

TIIE FIRE IN NORTH HALL.

.62

EIE unusually quiet course of last term was disturbed in February by one of the most exciting events which had happened in Williston for many years. At about nine o'clock on the night of the 6th Professor Kirkland smelled smoke and going down found the fire in progress. The blaze was in the Pi Beta Pi rooms and in spite of his efforts with an extinguisher the flames speedily got beyond his control. Porter, who occupied the room, was found unconscious and was carried out. By this time the smoke had risen to the floor above to such an extent as to prevent any goods being saved. A bucket brigade was formed but before they had gotten down to work the company arrived. Some delay was experienced in getting the hose attached but at last they were ready. At first they seemed to be doing little but by attacking the fire from all sides at once they soon put it out.

The students rooming on the third and fourth floors of "Senior End" saved very little. The heaviest losers were Professor Kirkland, Dawson '05, Paine '05, Emerson . '05, Porter '05, Hirst'06 and Natanson '05. But with all the loss that it inflicted the fire had its humorous side. Professor Morse coming down stairs with a bust of Homer, like Aeneas fleeing from Troy with his household gods,and Professor Weeks as lulus following "non passibus aequis" were perhaps the most: notable examples of this. Of course there was the usual crowd removing valuables from the rooms, carrying down bedclothes and pillows and throwing out mirrors and pictures; everybody giving orders and very busy doing nothing, and in the background Billy Sanger explaining bow "we could have put that fire out if we had had a few more destinguishers."

But while these may be called humorous the really pleasant part of the disaster has appeared later in the present condition of the burned section of the building. The rooms are of course all new and a much needed bath has been put in, but the crowning improvement is in the mathematics room. The old walls have been tinted a pleasing shade, the woodwork painted and a steel ceiling put in. This is the third recitation room fitted within the past two years. May we have more in the future —provided that it doesn't call for another fire.

SENROR PROM [1805

rIjfl SENIOR PROMENADE.

ON Washington's Birthday eve in 1899, the graduating class of that year held the first Senior Promenade, and judging from the way the custom has been perpetuated, must have been very favorably received. Thus an odd class gave the first prom, and strangely enough it was left for another odd class to give the best prom. And undeniably the verdict of the alumni and" old men" who witnessed this year's affair was "the best Prom Williston ever had." The Easthampton town hall was very tastily decorated with light blue and white, with the Hags and streamers of by-gone classes draped from the middle of the ceiling to the sides. The squareness of the hall was 143

greatly relieved by the six booths, whose unique and appropriate decoration were an object of admiration to all.

Promptly at 9 o'clock the grand march beaded by Mr. A. W. Hills, with Miss Barber of Smith College,started to the strains of the orchestra, half hidden behind a small forest of beautifully arranged palms, and the promenade had begun. After Mr. Hills followed Mr. H.IL Keough with Miss Delaney of Holyoke, Mr. Otto Lyding with Miss Kuhfuss of Easthampton, Mr. H. F. Barrett with Miss Sears of Mt. IIolyoke, and Mr. G. S. Emerson with Miss Green of Smith, who were the remaining members of the committee.

At 12.30 the assembly proceeded to the supper room where refreshments were served, and then the dancing went on until the morning was far advanced. Mesdames Sawyer, Bruce, Clough and Miss Pelissier acted as patronesses and assisted in receiving the guests.

But while some things may happen by chance we feel sure that it requires much tact and forethought to make a successful social event, and we think that the senior class, with their committee and their treasurer, deserve great commendation for the masterly way in which they handled that event, which is perhaps the pleasantest of the school year and the most fraught with happy memories.

IIEN I was asked in the interests of the Lou to interview the Hon. 13111 Sanger A. J., it was with reluctance that I consented, well knowing the high station Bill held and his unapproachable nature, but I am pleased to say my visit was successful and below I give our readers the benefit of our valuable conversation.

I found the notable in his sanctum in Middle Hall and greeted him with a meek "Good Morning." "What in thunder do you want here?" said the monarch of the furnace room, and quickly I made my errand known. ." Well," said he,"I've already driven fifteen reviewers away this week." I assured him that I was no common newspaper gossip gatherer but represented that book of which so much had been said and written in the newspapers, namely the 1905 Lou. This, together with a five-cent cigar, changed Bill's spirits and he talked freely.

"Is it right Bill that Williston could not be run without you?" I inquired. "Well there's thtuu truth in that, I'm not exthackly one of th' faculty but sthill I've got ma thay."

"You must have a lot of anxiety attending to such a host of healthy fellows."

"Well,I should thay! In winter the fellahs complain cause ther raderators don't raderate, and in thummah they smath the windows to let in air, but sthill it gives me great pleasure to thay the Williston boys is good boys."

"Many changes have taken place during your life in Williston I suppose."

"Yeth there has I prethume, and now after much adjectation we are havin' the campeth fixth."

CLASS OF 1900.

01-Ili class of 1900 was, to put it mildly, one of the greatest aggregations of men that had ever entered Williston. Its genius marked an epoch in the history of the school; its exodus was a spectacle which left an indelible impression on the minds of the seminary's sympathizers.

When,in 1896, it came upon the scene of action Dr. Sawyer had just returned from Europe to assume the tedious and all absorbing responsibilities of the principalship under circumstances which were far from encouraging. The school was scarcely half so large as it is at present and the outlook for the future was by no means one in which any but the most optimistic would dare to anchor his hope. Deep, ominous gratings of disintegration were heard on every side. The class of '97 were accusing the trustees of callous indifference and blatant delinquency; the boys of '98 were lamenting the fact that the "Williston spirit was sick unto death" with no hope of recovery; the class of'99 might be described as an entity on the border line between two worlds, dead to one and powerless to be born into the other. The faculty,,a rare combination of dignity, wisdom and fortitude, sat betimes to give advice on questions which arose out the untoward conditions of barbaric customs, such as "flag raising" by the Middle Class. Knowledge herself stood motionless under the impending calamity like a maiden fresh from the hand of her Creator and waiting for the breath of life.

That breath came with the class of 1900. It was a beautiful September morning, the sun had risen high enough in an azure sky to send its slanting beams over the tallest peaks of Mt. Tom into the bustling little town of Easthampton,the trees had not yet begun to put on their sober autumn garb and the birds were vying with each other in manifestation of their happiness. Indeed the whole town seemed to be conscious of a presence that disturbed its being with a joy of elevated thought.

As we entered the chapel and took our seats in the rear of the hall a gleam of hope seemed to brighten the faces of the faculty. Tibbets smiled benignly on our advent, for his keen eye bad already fixed itself

Upon the man who was destined to discover the "fourth dimension." Then after a long and painful pause the venerable principal mustered up sufficient courage to announce the Williston hymn, and while disaffected Seniors looked askance and the whole school held back its soul from eternity to listen, we sang "God Preserve Our Alma Mater." I am not positive whether we sang it to the tune of "Duke Street" or to some other, but this assertion defies contradiction, there never was but one occasion on which it was sung with so much fervor and that was when the class of 1900 sang it for the last time as a component of the school. What we did while in Williston would require a universe of space and an eternity of time to tell. The briefest possible sketch must therefore suffice.

When we arrived on the scene of action we found that it had been an important part of "Proxy's" correspondence to explain to parents why their sons went home so frequently during the first term of the school year, with fractured skulls, broken arms and minus those pearls so useful in fight when a man is on his back and his hands bound to his sides. Our class, instinct with common sense in an uncommon degree and actuated by an overwhelming sense of the eternal fitness of things, found it difficult to explain the philosophy of this complex situation. But we felt that something must be done and quickly; consequently a delegation of our bravest and best was appointed to offer the administration our assistance. When this committee reached the executive headquarters, the Principal began to take a more hopeful view of things. It suddenly dawned upon his mind that this complex problem which had puzzled his predecessors might not be impossible of solution after all, and so there leaped from his lips the characteristic response,"Why yes, boys, you can help me; but how are you going to do it?" here for the first time in its history the class of 1900 had a chance to show the real stuff of which it was made.

The class of '99, had on the day previous, declared its intention of raising its flag in the face of whatever opposition the Junior Middle Class might see fit to offer. To fail of resistance would be, in the opinion of the school, a departure from what had been dubbed "sacred tradition ;" more than that it would be a humiliating confession, by the Junior Middle class, of its own physical weakness. But our class was composed

of men who cared little for reputation based on an inane conception of what children of circumstance call "tradition," or for the esteem of those members of the school whose perverted ideas of conduct might lead them to point at us the finger of shame. We were destined to be epoch makers and here was our first chance. There had come to us the call of what we conceived to be our duty,—and through the strident cries of the braggart and the knave, there rang out to the ear of the school and to the hearts of a waiting faculty the calm, clear answer of the class that knew how to set the times aright. On the morning following the interview with"Prexy," there appeared on the bulletin the following notice: "To all whom it may concern, be it known that the class of 1900 has resolved; (1) not to offer any resistance to the flag-raising by the Middle Class;(2) not to raise a flag until senior year and then not without the permission of the faculty;(3) not to permit any subsequent class to raise a flag until senior year." Our right to pass and enforce these resolutions was protested only by the class of 1901 ; but a combination of argument and force on the campus shortly after midnight, one November morning, led this wayward class to acquiesce in a rule of conduct laid down by a superior, and which an inferior is usually bound to obey. Here ended the barbarous custom of "flag raising." "Prexy"is still alive and Morse is no longer robbed of his peaceful slumber by intrusive quarrels on the campus. It would be impossible to relate here what the class of 1900 has contributed to the social,:esthetic, religious and intellectual life of the school; all this the casual observer knows by heart. There is the"Senior Prom," the first master-piece of art, the V. M. C. A., the WILLISTOXIAN, Adelphi and Gamma Sigma; and there they will stand as silent witnesses of the broad sympathies and wide affinities which characterized the class that stands out in Williston's history as a fitting monument of her progress in the nineteenth century, and as an example from which those who begin with the new century may well copy.

I have said that the exodus of the class was a spectacle which left an indelible impression on the minds of those who in any way identified themselves with the life of the school. But, in view of what I have already disclosed, it is unnecessary to give an exhaustive description of that last appearance before the Easthampton public. If it is true that man grows into the likeness of that which he contemplates, we had every

reason to be proud of our last appearance in Payson Church; and it must, perforce, stand out in the memories of our admirers as a fitting climax to all the glory we had already achieved. When we had told the audience how we had discovered Wireless Telegraphy, demonstrated wherein Cicero failed of compirison with the modern orator, outlined the future policy of the United States with reference to her recent acquisitions, a solemn silence seized the vast assemblage, as Eddie Rice proceeded to impress upon the minds of the trustees (there was only one present) how it was incumbent upon them to carry forward the great work which the class of 1900 had so nobly begun. Finally, when the young orator bad admonished us all to keep before our imagination, as hitherto, the deeds of brave men; to continue to thrill our hearts with the victorious struggles of the hero and the death-defying passion of the lover, we considered our mission at Williston fulfilled. The clock struck two;"Prexy" grew deadly pale and Tibbets wiped an eye unused to flow, while our gallant class, bent on making its mark in the world, sent a delegation to Northampton to buy out a small paint-making establishment.

A Member of 1900.

WILLISTON IN 1S77.

C. II. JOHNSON,'VS.

ar this hasty sketch I am asked to say a few things of life at Williston thirty years ago. Well, the daily routine of a member of the class of '75, varied considerably from that of '05. There were two chapel exercises per day, at 9 a. m. and at 5 p. m. Everyone was bound to be there, and woe to the boy who came in late, for the eyes of 64 Prex" Ilenshaw glared over those gold bowed glasses, and then there was an explanatory office call in order at once. Himself a very prompt man, he taught it to us. Dr. Henshaw always officiated at morning chapel and never offered two prayers alike. Evening chapel was conducted by the teachers in turn. At each, the roll was called#by Capt. Hill and it took up considerable time for 230 boys to answer "here" as their names were called off in alphabetical order by classes twice a day. There are dozens of '75 men who will#to-day string off a long list beginning, Allen, Bakewell, Ball, Choliar, Cornish, Darling, Decker, Dyer, from hearing it so often then.

The Classical Department occupied the north half of chapel, the Scientific and English Departments the south half. It was#a bare and an uninviting room as compared with chapel of to-day. All the upper stories and rear of Middle Hall were. used as dormitories and the top floor was known as "Nigger Heaven."

Every man took care of his own room, bought his own coal or wood, tended to the fire, if he had one in winter, or shivered miserably if too lazy to build his own. There was no reading room except for society members and no library that was used, but there were two#prayer meetings a week. The younger boys studied in 66 Middle Hall called "The English," and as# penalty for many a prank or flunk by the rest of us compulsory servitude within it walls was the punishment. The honor

rather higher prices than others and was a most popular landlord as well as public spirited man.

Dr. Sawyer is the only one of the faculty now serving at Williston. "Poppy" Wright (to distinguish him from a previous instructor called "Grandpa" Wright) occupied the Mathematical recitation room in North IIall and gave chemistry lectures in an ill smelling laboratory, now used for the library in Middle Hall. Capt. Alvord and Capt. Hill both received their titles by service in the rebellion and the latter carried a shattered right hand, which however he managed to use vigorously when occasion served. Dr. Hensbaw taught senior classics and gave most instructive lectures in philosophy and astronomy.

All these men have passed away but their memory remains green with '75, and while conditions were rather crude, good work was done and loyal sons of old Williston are plenty.

THE FIRE.

After the noise of the day the campus returned to the quiet, Quiet that may be described by dwellers in Paradise entry. Gone was the toil of the battle, the stress of the harrowing conflict, When do the warriors of Raymond the mighty commander of heroes, Forth to the combat fare, to bury their foes 'neath the whitewash.

Bright in the windows burned the lights of the studious inmates.

Busy with stories of old, of the days of heroic Nick Carter; Peaceful the scene and still, no thought of destruction was present. Sudden a glow appeared in the room of the mighty Bill Porter, Porter—the loyal attendant at service divine every Sunday—

Five times each day is be there and safely we may imagine, Five times more would he go, would the maids of Easthampton be present. Porter, who spread the alarm that awful night, long remembered When all but he had fled, alone he called to the rescue

Easthampton's valiant corps of firemen mighty with hose-pipe. Porter, whose feeble health, exhausted by midnight study, Bracing night air restored, the salubrious breath of the country. Nightly the way he sought to Easthampton's driving park leading. Truly a shining mark destruction selects for her victim.

Thus the lurid flames streamed forth in a blaze from his window, Such as a watcher sees, in a city beleaguered by foemen, When in a circle around the fires of the army are lighted; Loud the alarm clangs awakening the ranks of the students. One it cannot awake—the mighty young hero lies senseless. What! Shall he die unhelped ? Nay,nay,through the smoke and the terror, Natanson,famed for his nerve and mighty in brass above thousands, Bears in his terrible arms the prostrate form of the hero.

Water! the cry is raised by the crowds pressing up to the rescue; Sad the reply returns,"It never is drunk in this building."

Where were the chiefs of the hosts, the corps of the valiant professors?

Woe! Woe! Truth must be told; still clasped in the arms of Morpheus Slumbered they through the night nor knew they the awful disaster. Yet were a faithful few directing the deeds of the army.

Foremost among them all was he who delighteth with mighty Strokes of his powerful foot to send upon high the pigskin,

Likewise the Chemistry Lab, with liquids terrific he ruleth. Soon an electric car, that happy conveyer of. students, Comes to the scene of the fire, forth steppeth the well-beloved figure Known to e:ch lover of Math. 'Tis Tibbets, the strong at the call down Straight through the ranks he strides; the army makes way for him quickly. Straight to the door of his room. Alas! all his fears have been realized, For by the fiend's red hands, plucked down from their places of honor, Every eraser lies low, and gathers the dust of.the schoolroom. Time suffers not to tell of the actions heroic of rescue; How that a dynamite charge dislodged quite enough of a window

So that the corpulent Hersey could find his way out to safety; How that a bucket brigade, with hearts by danger undaunted Forced their laborious way Smyth's tooth-brush to save from the fire; How,swarming up the stairs the myriad numbers of students Cast endangered mirrors to safety below on the asphalt; [Low pillows, mattresses, rugs and bedclothes were skilfully carried Out to the open air—not one, we can say, was broken. hark! What noise is this? the pavements resound with the clatter

As of the chariot swift of a dago scissors grinder. At last they sweep into view—we are saved. E. F. D. to the rescue. Swiftly the hose they uncoil, like lightning raise they their ladders.

Straight a debate begins surpassing in interest the fire— "Turn on the water," says one. "Nay, nay, turn it off," saith his fellow. Finally the first prevails, the water pours forth in a deluge, Rivers descend on the flames—but oceans descend on the people. What could the fire fiend do? Right soon his hold is relinquished.

Let him seek other towns where fire protection is absent. Slowly the crowd departs, again quiet reigns on the campus. Goddess, inspire my pen to- tell of the cause, heart shaking, Through which the castle lies low, by which many lives were endangered, Jupiter, was it thy bolt? or Phwbus, the flame of thy anger? Nay, nay, the muse replies, go ask of you Boston Journal, For by the cowardly hand of a felon thirsting for slaughter, Thus were the terrible flames applied to the couch of the victim.

Not unwarned of his fate was the large souled hero assaulted, Nay, on his blotter he finds a note giving news of his peril.

"Will," thus it ran,"my dear, stay not in your room for a fortnight."

Why do the mighty forget how much on discretion hangs valor?

Caesar in scorn of Spurinna his way to the senate housemaking, Foully was struck to the earth and died at the height of his glory. Thus our hero himself, were rescue delayed but a moment Might now be lying dead, struck down in the prime of his manhood. Now,ere this song is complete, what things has the fire accomplished?

Au ! as the Phenix arises from the funeral pyre that consumes it, Thus do the lofty towers again raise themselves toward the heavens; And that never again disaster may hold sway destructive, Dwellers in Senior end enjoy now the luxury of water.

Why should theWork stop here—North Hall hasthree other broad entries ; South Hall likewise stands dry deprived of the blessing abundant. Need we another fire ere this we obtain for our comfort?

Ah! the time will come when,flowing in streams never slackened, Water shall cleanse us all, nor need the bucks labor to fetch it.

Then let the Bucks beware, the Sheenies betake themselves elsewhere, Lest in a shower descending the baths may be free and abundant.

Then will our campus at last be worthy the pride of the student.
