WILLISTON SEMINARY 1909

Tforewor6

THE editors of this book have aimed to make it a book which every Williston man would be glad to own. They have tried to present in an interesting, accurate way, the various school activities: the athletics, societies, and associations, as well as to give a complete account of the Senior Class. No time or work has been spared in order to have the articles interesting and true to life—no expense that would make the illustrations better has been avoided; but "writeups" cannot give the whole story of life at Williston, and pictures do not always show our schoolmates as we remember them. Take this volume, therefore, as a souvenir; value it, not for itself, but for the memories it will later call to life,—not for what it is, but for what it stands for.

Stoney nelson Morse,

Professor Sidney Nelson Morse is a Williston Alumnus, and graduated as valedictorian of the class of 1886. From Williston he went to Yale, graduating as a commencement speaker in June 1890. He came to Williston as an instructor in the fall of '90. At first he taught elocution, history, and Greek, being especially interested in elocution, as he had himself taken declamation prizes both at Williston and at Yale. When Dr. Gallagher left Williston in 1896, Mr. Morse became head of the Greek department, and in 1905 he was also made head of the English department. His versatility and general usefulness are shown by the fact that he not only occupies these two positions, but is also Librarian and Registrar of Williston, and secretary of the Williston Alumni Association. In the years 1898-99 he spent thirteen months in travel abroad. Six months of this time he was a resident student at the American School for Classical Studies in Athens, Greece. In 1905 he studied for six months at Harvard. Through this splendid training and experience in school work, coupled with his natural ability, Professor Morse has become invaluable to Williston. He has raised the English department in particular to a standard which is equalled by few preparatory schools. His interest in this department makes his personality and teaching felt throughout the school.

We admire some professors for the qualities which make them teachers,—for their knowledge and their ability to impart it to others; we admire others for the qualities which make them gentlemen in the highest sense of the word. We admire Professor Morse for both. As an inspiring teacher; as a sincere friend whose cheery "Are you happy?" forms the keynote of his friendly nature; as a man whose influence throughout the school has always been wholesome and on the side of the good, the manly, and the true,—Sidney Nelson Morse has won the love and respect of all who have come in contact with him.

Senior 1E6itorial

TT was not a train nor an electric car that brought the nucleus of our illustrious class to the shelter of Williston's sacred walls. They came on foot some four years ago. Ward, Venard, Buffum and Smith were waiting at the chapel door long before Mr. Upson had opened the doors on that memorable September morning. Swanson arrived next from the wilds of Southampton, while a little later in the day "Jack" Hartigan and his keeper, Sefton, dropped in together with "Pat" Murphy of Holyoke. O'Neill came a week later This was the beginning of the class.

In the second year of our existence Lathrop, Holland, Brennan, and Whiting came into our midst and dropped their packs before the office door. Mueller shook the dust of the Vaterland from his feet and even Kahan heard of 1909 in far away Russia, and crossed the wild and stormy ocean to come and honor the class by his presence. The greatest additions to our numbers, however, were made in the Middle year, when the total number was seventy-two. We won the football, basketball, and baseball championship in this year quite handily. The class had the majority of men on all the varsity teams and also had its share of scholastic honors. O'Brien left the big village in this year to enter Williston, and was followed by' a few of the natives from Dalton. Holyoke decided to get up a travelers' association, which organized with Richard as general rough-houser. Heinritz as wise guy, and "Bonny" Bonvoloir as all-round sport. Easton came over from Granby High in order to assist Mr. Buffum in the Latin department, and Lucier thought the campus as soft a spot as any on which to have a two year's nap.

The Senior year brought us few new men, while ranks of the preceding year were sadly depleted, almost half of them going either to college or into business. Burbank's airship broke and let him down on the old campus, where he decided to stay awhile. Dain's smile was the next arrival and Crowley waded up the river from Springfield.

As a class we have as proud a record as any preceding class. We have won our athletic championships, had our "Prom," and presented our gift, and now it but remains for us to make room for the anxious "Pee wees" to push up one grade higher.

:Patrick Ifeitry nIttr.pbp

PATRICK Henry Murphy was born in Ireland, and came over to this country when quite young. After attending the Holyoke public schools for some time, he entered the employ of the National Blank Book Co., where he learned the trade of book binding. Having learned his trade well, he went into the business as the Franklin Binding Co. at Holyoke. The business prospered and Murphy decided to reenter school to get an education. The school he selected was Williston. Here, talented and deservedly popular as he was, no office was too good for him. Among the posts he filled were: President and Vice-President of the school, President of his class, a prizewinner in the J. P. Williston contests, Secretary of Adelphi, member of the Adelphi debating team, and Manager of football, besides holding every office up to and including Assistant Editor-in-Chief of the Willistonian. He was also a member of the Easthampton Council of the Knights of Columbus. During his third and middle year at Williston, the disease which proved his death developed. Although he spent the summer in Vermont, striving to regain his health, his malady,a swelling of the glands proved incurable. After filling his duties as football manager, last fall, he went to Worcester for medical treatment and never returned. This is all that we need say here. To those who did not know him, more words would be meaningless; to those who did know him, they would be unnecessary. He was a man worth knowing, a friend worth having, and the world, Williston, and those who knew him were the better for his having lived among them. What more can be said of any man?

SENIOR PROM

obe _Senior 1:Iromenct6e

ON the evening of Friday, February 19, one of the most successful Senior Promenades ever given was held in the Town Hall. The weather was stormy, a dismal down-pour of rain making it difficult to go about, but once inside the doors of the hall there was nothing to remind one of the dreary weather out of doors. The hall was tastefully decorated with red and white streamers and hangings, while a large Japanese lantern hung from the center of the ceiling, The four fraternity booths in the corners were decorated with banners and former class flags, giving a pleasing touch of color to the scene. The all-important Senior flag was not to be seen in its usual place on the stage, as the Middlers had stolen it, but it was returned and raised during the preliminary concert, before the dancing had commenced. A feature of the evening was the flashlight photograph taken by Mr. Cady. The grand march was led by C. M. Burbank, the chairman of the Promenade committee, and Miss Georgia Tait of Springfield. After the march, the line formed for the flashlight photograph, after which dancing was in order. There were thirty numbers in all. About midnight, refreshments were served by Beckman of Northampton. The affair was voted by all present, a huge success.

THE class decided to give the school, as their "class gift," a bust of Lincoln. The gift is peculiarly appropriate in this year of 1909, the centennial of the birth of the great emancipator. The bust represents Lincoln as he appeared during the last years of the Great Rebellion—during the years of his greatest triumphs and sufferings,—and is a fitting tribute to the memory of one of the greatest men that America ever knew. page forty

IT was with difficulty that# 1 he design of the Senior Class Flag was chosen. All the artists of the class brought in their ideas, but until Torian made a pencil sketch similar to that above no pattern seemed to suit. His design was quickly accepted and the contract given to Burgin Bros. The flag is black and gold, the class colors. The day before the#Senior#20Promenade the Middlers managed to steal the flag from the Town Hall, but it was returned just in time to be put up again Promenade night. The Middlers say that they will steal#it once more when the Seniors raise it on the "Gym" tower but the Seniors, convinced that once is quite enough for that sort of thing, are determined to disappoint them.

Obe Nti6oler's Soliloquy

HERE it is half past eight, and not a study touched, and there's a stack of books on the table only a foot shorter than the one Bueso usually ,has. I'd probably know just as much when I leave recitations if I carried a book in each pocket 'a la' Johnson. If I were a "shark" like Hart, or a bluffer like Naufftus, I could get by all right, but I don't see where I'll get off if I don't study more; in which sentiment Mr. Wight agrees with me most heartily, for he told me so to-day.

I went to Poli's this afternoon with Spaulding. That lad is certainly a mark on taking fellows to the show, but as long as he enjoys my company I would not be mean enough to deny it to him. I didn't eat any supper; I guess the cigar Youngs gave me must have made me sick. I can't be friends with a fellow who smokes such bad cigars.

Well, what have I got to do? The more I look at that stack of books the higher it gets. Um-er-a- "read the first ten lessons of Alltagliches in review." Lucky Red Spillane left his "trot" among my books yesterday. "I sing of arms and a man." Fudge, I'd rather hear the Bowery Quartette sing "Give me back my dime."

I guess I'll read this stuff over in the morning when my head is clearer. Funny how a fellow's mind gets tired when he studies. Some people think going to school is easy but it certainly is hard work. I find it so anyway. What next? Trigomometry. Oh, yes, do the first thirty problems on page 573, or was it 375? I guess page forty-five

THE WILLISTON LOG

it was 375. Anyway, the fellow who had this book last year wrote in the answers of all the problems on :375. If I have to explain any of them I'll borrow Croteau's paper. He's got a book with all the work printed right out. Cinch!

Carhart's "Physics" looks real wistful there. I certainly won't get a "call-down" for bringing that book into class in an unduly worn condition, but nobody ever recited physics without reading it over at least once, except a fellow in Naughty-nine, and he had classified physical graphophone records. He used to lie on the divan in a graceful attitude, press the button, and the clockwork did the rest. I heard he was on the Willistonian or Log Board,I don't know which— I wonder if he writes his grinds that way. Physics can go until 10.30. Now for English. That's what always sticks me, unless I hide behind Neeld and so escape being called upon to recite. Another general review of all we've had so far. I copied some questions into my note book; here they are. I took them down in the Altizer system of shorthand. Maybe I can read them; "How did Bassanio press his suit?" Why, of course he stood up against the Flatiron building or else he put it under the mattress the way Howe does. "Who wrote the 'Ancient Mariner,' and what are two characteristics of his style?" Probably either Milton or George Reuben Burleigh wrote it, with its dactylic pentameter and heroic triplet. My, but I am tired, and that light hurts my eyes. I'd better turn it down a little. I'll lie back in my chair for a minute or two and rest. What! Half-past twelve? I must have been asleep. Not a lesson learned. It's twenty-three for me to-morrow and a good deal of "plugging" besides.

-3untor Mio6le -E6ttorial

LONG after I had graduated from Williston and my worthy class had passed from her portals, carrying diplomas, prizes, and honors with them, and leaving behind a trail of envy and emulation; after many years had passed away from the protection and fellowship of my prep school Alma Mater; I one night slept. And as I slept, I dreamed a dream. And in the substance of it, this was my vision. I stood again on the green campus of Williston, beneath her stately elms—and behold, there passed before me, in solemn procession, shadowy forms, which I at first failed to recognize; yet they seemed vaguely familiar, after much effort I recognized here and there in the long line, the face or form of an old friend. And as I watched the prodigy, astonished, I at length came to the conclusion that, here before me were the members of what once was the class of 1911 in Williston.

Sam Cottrell's stout form loomed prominent before me; the tremendous height and girth of two gigantic monstrosities followed closely after, in whom I recognized without difficulty the persOns of Big Lea and MacNeil. The procession faded, and I suddenly saw again the old diamond on Sawyer field; for passing along with the same alertness as of yore, were Buster Brown, Ty Cobb, Billy Granfield, Dukes Nordeen and Mex Zaldivar. Again I saw the procession. Of a sudden a very active little man left the line and took his place at my side. I knew him to be Tree Spaulding, old second bass on the Quartette Speciale, and a member in good standing of the Baskers. He volunteered a little information concerning the men who were now passing by. Fritz Cronecker waved a merry greeting, and from Tree I learned that Fritz had never succeeded in finding his pipe, which was lost some time ago.

page forty-nine

THE WILLISTON LOG

Behind a lofty banner, upon which was inscribed "Payson Hall," was a motley assembly in whose ranks, with the pride of their hall stamped on their brows, were Pfeiffer, Hubbard, Piles, and Rich. Tree informed me that these men were "still livin'," and more he would not say. I was suprised to note the presence of Fitzsimmons, inasmuch as I had heard long since that he had journeyed west. Tresilian, gloomy as ever, stalked along between Kelley and iron man Maglathlin; and Liu, pursued by Ingie Lyon, carrying a large# water pitcher, rushed through the crowd, accompanied by the delighted z-z-z-t's of the others. George Schirch and Peterson, destined to everlasting disappointment in love, came just before Mr. Hannum of Westfield, and who should bring up the rear hut long-eared Magowan, who always thought that just because the proprietor#of the Williston Pharmacy bore his name, he, Mac, was entitled to a graft in the favorite store of Williston. Last, did I say? No,—two others— slight figures to be sure, but men of great promise, came in'the dusky twilight behind the rest. Queen Lathrop and Bob Roberts these, frightened bucks in my day, but since exalted to high positions. This last I learned from Tree, who, after the last of 1911 had gone by, turned, gripped my hand silently, and hastened away to rejoin his clansmen. I looked after them a bit wistfully, I must admit, when I turned away. And when I knew that I was awakening, I told myself that this world is but a stage, and everyone must be, at one time or another, a Junior Middler.

DR. Johnson once said, that big words should be used in speaking of big things. Of course, we found it impossible to follow his advice, because, in trying to find words small enough to talk about the "peewees," we saw that every word in the English language had at least one letter. We have, however, decided to give the class of 1912 a little of our valuable space, as a matter of policy. You see, if we don't put their names into print they won't like it, and may cry. In order to avoid this, we have, after some effort, stilled our conscience, and will now try to say a few nice things about the children.

Good things come in small packages. If this is true, 1912.should be a good—a very good thing indeed. A short mention of the most illustrious of the class will, however, close this article. Professor Kienle and Drury look as though they might, in the course of tine, and providing they grow up, be real "sharks." Kienle also shines as Gamma Sigma's only and original boy debater. The athletic prowess of the class may be inferred from the fact that no one who has gone out for a 1912 class team has been turned down. "Hughy" O'Brien and Mahoney are the all-star athletes. "Eddie" Moran might be called another, but he doesn't play football, basketball, and baseball—he only runs. Let us not look down on the little ones. Who knows but that some day they'll grow up.

"And so, little Junior, don't you cry, You'll be a Senior, bye and bye."

VIllistott Clubs

ON the following pages we have printed a list of as many Williston clubs as we could reach. In as many instances as possible, an outline of the aim and work of the club has been given, often in the words of the members themselves. Williston clubs have a peculiar interest for a graduating class, inasmuch as not a few members of the class will soon belong to one at some college or technical school. It may well be said that Williston clubs and associations represent the largest part of Williston. We think it, therefore, a privilege to be able to devote a few pages to these alumni, who are doing so much toward giving the word "Williston" a deeper, broader significance.

The Vale-Williston Club aims to bring about close friendship between its members, and to keep in touch with the welfare and doings at Williston. Meetings or informal smokers are held once or twice a term to promote good fellowship. In addition to these meetings, the club annually invites one of the Williston faculty down to Yale. Dr. Sawyer was with us this year, and a very pleasant evening was enjoyed.

The Dartmout h -Williston Club was organized in the fall of 1906 with H. E. McAllister, '04, as president. In founding the club the object was to hold the Williston men of Dartmouth in closer fellowship, that a healthy Williston spirit and a lively interest in Williston affairs might be retained among us, and to enable us to take more concerted action in matters pertaining to Williston and Williston men. As far as can be expected the object of the club has been realized. Monthly meetings are held, usually in one of the members' rooms, at which items of interest are discussed and business transacted. In this way Williston news becomes a matter of common knowledge to the members. The meetings are as informal as possible and have proved to be very enjoyable.

15be Villiston Club at nensselaer

The Rensselaer Williston Club was organized in January 1908. Its purpose is, to aid Williston men who come to Rensselaer for the first time, in order that they may be helped and made to feel at home, when they come as strangers among us. It is also a help to the members, as they can keep informed about what is going on in our dear old Alma Mater. We pass many pleasant evenings together, talking of Williston and the old days. This year our second annual banquet was held on Mar. 5, 1909, Prof. Tibbetts representing Williston. All the Williston men at Rensselaer were present, and the banquet was a huge success.

football

WHEN school opened last September, and Captain O'Brien issued his call for football candidates, over 40 men responded. Only two members of last year's team had returned, but many of' the second team men were in evidence. These were quickly moulded into shape by Coach Wight, and a game was played ten days after the team held its first practice. This was the Springfield Training School game, which we won on a drop kick by Capt. O'Brien. The next few games were ours with large scores. The game with Pittsfield High, the first played on Sawyer field, was Williston's to the tune of eleven to four. The team then went to Exeter, and played the most successful game of the season, beating their opponents six to four. After outclassing the Brown Freshmen, Williston's run of good luck seemed to stop. The game with the Yale Freshmen was a hard fought battle between two evenly matched teams, and resulted in a zero tie score.

The final Worcester game was the only game lost by Williston. Worcester's team was one of the strongest opponents our boys had to meet. This, together with the fact that Williston's lineup was in a decidedly crippled condition,caused the defeat. A week before the Worcester game, Walker and Moulton, the two guards, were laid up; the one with tonsilitis, which kept him indoors until the day of the game,—the other with a neck trouble which debarred him from violent exercise. Then, to cap the climax, Thomas, the star tackle, was called home, owing to the death of his father. On the whole, the teams we played were heavier and more experienced than ours. Of the seven games played we won four, tied two, and lost one.

LYNCH

nasketball

THE most successful season Williston has ever had had its climax when Captain Lynch's men defeated Dean and won the "prep" school championship this winter. Never before did Williston have so triumphantly successful a team, and the season which has just ended will be long remembered at Williston. A goodly number of candidates came out at Capt. Lynch's call, including four members of last year's team. Mr. Hicks did the coaching, and to him is due much of the credit for the fine form and team spirit displayed by our men. Every team which we met was defeated by large scores, the five facing such quintets as Worcester "Tech.," Lowell Textile, Turners Falls, and Dean. The Dean games were the hardest fought contests of the winter. The first was played on the Dean floor, and under the eyes of the Dean "co-eds" Williston gave a superb exhibition of basketball. Williston closed its season in a blaze of glory and red fire the next week, by defeating Dean at Easthampton. The campus was illuminated with torches, and the usual bonfire was unusually fine. After the bonfire, refreshments were served, the team "told how they did it," and after a general jollification the crowd broke up.

The individual playing of the team was very good, but their team work was what made them the "champs." O'Brien at guard and Lynch at center were especially in evidence. In closing, let us say that the team deserves all the praise which future loyal Williston men will give it.

naseball

THE baseball season of 1908 was the most successful season since the memorable 1905 team won such honors, not only on preparatory school diamonds, but on college fields as well. The team started the season with a large squad of second men to draw from and with a battery which was hard to meet. Capt. Gibson guarded third base in fine style, and showed himself to be an efficient leader. He proved himself when, in the Easthampton A. C. game, with the bases full, he knocked out a fly for a home run and won the game for Williston. The whole team, in fact, did excellent work. The team was very successful, winning in all, seven games. The most important victory from a Williston standpoint, was the one over Worcester Academy on Sawyer field. The Worcester men did their best but were clearly outclassed by the old gold and blue. The pitching of Nordeen with Doran at the plate was a marked feature of the season's play. The squad was coached by Mr. Rogers and much of its success was due to his untiring efforts to give the school a winning nine.

THE WILLISTON LOG

Arthur N. Smith, who has coached the track team so successfully this year, is himself a crack runner. He went to the High School at Buffalo and holds the Syracuse University interscholastic record for the 220 yard dash. When the American Team went to the Olympic games at Athens, Mr. Smith went on the trip as assistant trainer. He has done wonders with the track men here, and Williston was fortunate in securing his services.

track

THE track season of 1907-8 was successful in many ways, but, because many of the meets which Williston usually enters were held on the same day, the only meet which our men could enter was that at Dartmouth. Here they took fourth place, Lucier and O'Neill being the principal point-winners. This year our track prospects are particularly bright. Under the direction of Trainer Smith, every athlete has been trained to the highest point of efficiency, a board track being very useful in keeping the men in condition during the winter. On February 19, the relay team went to the Hartford Sec. Nay. Div. C. N. A. games and won the "prep" school relay race in a second better than the best college time. Great things are expected of the squad in the coming meets this spring.

ONE of the most popular sports at Williston is tennis. The four well-kept courts side of the gymnasium attract not a few fellows, and offer a kind of exercise much better suited to many men than football, basketball, etc. The advisory board have for the last few years offered a tennis "W" to the man winning the annual tournament; and the contest for this letter brought out many 'crack' players this year. Howe proved to be the best man, and L. S. Roberts reached the semi-finals.

Inter-Class Athletics

WILLISTON LOt;

3nter-Class 7Atblettcs

PERHAPS the most interesting part of school athletics are the inter-class games. These offer a field of sport not as exacting as the varsity games, but with excitement and rivalry enough to make up for lack of expert skill among the players. The first sport for which the rival classes prepared was football, and in the early part of November the various class captains covereA the bulletin-board with their calls to practice. For some reason, however, the arrangement of the schedule was delayed until very late in the term, and the series was not played off until the first part of December, several games being played on a snow-covered field. A beautiful silver trophy cup was awarded to 1910, the winning team. 'Ere long basket-ball became the sport of the hour, and in the shadow of a champion varsity five the classes prepared for battle. The games on the whole were rather one-sided and Hardiman and Sefton led the Senior team to victory. As the "Log" is going to press. the campus is in daily use and the baseball players are getting "their eye on the ball" preparatory to a class series. This article would be incomplete if we did not mention the inter-class track meets. The fall meet went to the Middlers, with Youngs as their principal point winner. The stars of the meet were O'Neill, Moran and Youngs. The great spring meet will not take place until the end of the.year. The meet is expected to "show up" some of Williston's former records, and will undoubtedly prove a memorable one. Last fall the annual cross-country run, open to the whole school, was held and Moran captured the winged." W" awarded for this event.

ROME was not built in a day,"—nor was the Adelphi. Away back in 1853 she made her bow to the world as the first and only literary society at Williston, and for a time she remained without a rival. After a while, however, Gamma Sigma was organized for the scientific side, Adelphi having the classical men. The annual debates between the two societies, which have been held regularly since 1890, have called forth much interest and enthusiasm in the school and town.

Adelphi has a brilliant record. She can point with pride to her illustrious Alumni, whose inspiration and help she was during their "prep" school days. To her belongs the honor of having established the present Willistonian. Upon its being first brought out, Adelphi managed the paper, but at the petition of Gamma Sigma, made the election of the board a school, rather than a society, affair. Remembering her glorious past, and noting her present progress and -prosperity, Adelphi may well look forward to many more years of usefulness and honor.

Oamma Siqma

GAMMA Sigma, the younger of the two debating societies in Williston, was organized in 1870. Starting as it did with a rival already a quarter of a century old, it has been forced to fight an uphill battle,—first for mere existence, then for rivalry, and finally for supremacy. But this struggle has given the society strength—strength which has made its position in Williston secure. It is this strength which has enabled the Gamma Sigma debating team to win the last three joint debates and to win both cups in this year's debate. This is the second year in the history of debating at Williston in which one team won both the individual and the team cup.

But the success of our teams is not the only thing of which we are proud. We are also proud of the fact that each year Gamma Sigma helps an increasingly large number of fellows. We do not develop the three men on the debating team each year at the expense of the other members, but we do benefit each and every member of the society. This year the results have been even more pronounced than usual. There has been an improvement in another direction, which has caused considerable satisfaction. The treasury of the society is now on a substantial basis. This has been accomplished only through the untiring efforts of the treasurer and the hearty co-operation of every member.

Gamma Sigma has an honorable record of which any society might well be proud, but we are not content to stand idle and point to past deeds. We think that we only need point to the glorious present and to hope that in the future the society will maintain the high standard it has reached this year.

F you have spent much time in exploring the corners and cupboards of the school library, you have probably come across a large, very thin folio marked "School Publications." This folder contains copies of papers published at Williston before the present Willistonian was organized. The first weekly newspaper to be issued seems to have been the Campus and Hall, after which the Oracle and Mirror were published by Adelphi and Gamma Sigma respectively. The paper really suited to Williston, however, was the Willistonian, which was organized over a quarter of a century ago by Adelphi. Later, at the request of Gamma Sigma, it was made a school paper, and as such has flourished for many long, successful years.

The past year has been an unusually successful one. During the winter term two more pages were added to the publication, making it a six page paper, and the athletic news, school notes, and an occasional story have made it especially interesting. Its influence has also been felt in the school, having discussed in its columns such matters as the getting of a board track, the opening of the library, and every thing pretaining to the welfare of the school. In fact the ideal of all that a school paper should be, in the line of contents, influence, and general tone, has in no small measure been attained by the Willistonian.

The concert given in the town hall on March tenth was considered by all present to have been the equal of any held in former years.

May her foster-children ever Loyal homage 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.

We present our sacrifice; Though to-morrow widely sundered, Still may this our prayer arise, God preserve our Alma Mater, Williston, forevermore;

In the sunshine of thy favor, Guard her, keep her, we implore.

THE Williston Y. M. C. A. is the students' religious organization. It is managed entirely by students, and has a large membership. Meetings are held every Sunday, and a student is appointed each week to make an address on some religious subject. This winter Bible classes were organized, and they proved highly successful. At times outside speakers were secured and special meetings held. Among the speakers were "Tad" Jones, of Yale, Rev. J. C. Alvord, '81, Kingman Brewster, '02, Harvard Law, '09, and E. F. Jefferson and Frank Scribner, '05—Yale, '09. The association was presented this year with a piano. It is a great improvement over the old organ and will help the society greatly in its work.

Dear Williston, our Alma Mater true, Another class is leaving Thee, Another year rolls over Thee. Ere we begin in life our battle new, This tribute, scant and incomplete, I bring; These words of praise, with feeling accents, sing.

For Thou hast ever been a faithful guide, Since first we met within Thy halls, Since first we saw the ivied walls, Overshadowed by the old elms at Thy side. And ever shall abide with us through all The scenes of life, school days beyond recall.

Soon shall our strength be mingled in the strife, To win triumphant mastery, To win by pluck and bravery, A higher and yet higher place in life. Thy teachings shall our wand'ring footsteps lead, Thy counsel shall direct us in our need.

THE WILLISTON 1,()

In years to come returning here again, Thy campus green in love to greet, A constant throng of memories sweet, Shall crowd the minds of proud victorious men, Who left, when young, to battle with the world Who come back, old, with standards yet unfurled.

Our honors humbly at Thy feet we'll lay, So little in return to Thee, So little of our debt to free, These will we give—the best that we can pay; But proud in this, that we the honor share, Of being fostered by a school so fair.

Upon Thy future fortunes we will look, With ever interested mind, With hearts link'd-loyal, true and kind, And no dishonor to Thee will we brook Williston, farewell! and may forever twine Around Thee, memories of 1909.

E. R. EASTON,

Mr. Tibbetts—I forgot to go to lunch this morning, I was so interested in that Granville Trigonometry.

SUSPICIOUS.

Mr. Hicks, in Botany—Fitzgerald, have you had Botany before? I see you're answering my questions.

A TUNNEL EPISODE.

Maiden seated in the train

Pocket full of money, Down beside her sits a man Maiden think it's funny.

Quickly speeds the train along In the tunnel enters Maiden's thought most anxiously On her pocket centers.

Quietly her little hand Toward the money stealing Finds a hand already there, Robbery revealing.

Fiercely clutches she the hand, On hysterics verging. Waiting till the train shall be From the dark emerging.

Into sunlight now at last Train shoots like a rocket, Maiden finds she has her hand In the stranger's pocket.

The mystery of Prof. Brown's Economics Class:—Who wrote on the board "We love our teacher?"

"IF ,,

Were Linsley short and Gaus were tall, If Drury were large and Whalen were small, If Trench were fat and Rollins were thin We'd never know the school we're in.

If Cook were strong and Terry were weak If Barnett had never learned to speak If Chung would think it fun to read Our Williston would be strange indeed.

If Leahey's lunches e'er were good If teachers sat and pupils stood If Whiting e'er had taken a drink And Hart had never stopped to think.

If the "Promenade" had paid its cost If Seniors ever spit balls tossed If "old men" by the "Bucks" were hazed We certainly would be amazed.

Were Johnson solemn and Easton gay If I had not composed this lay If Lucier never went out of town If books were studied upside down.

If Naufftus ground, and Mueller flunked

If I knew what would rhyme with "bunked" If boys should gossip and girls should scrap If Easthampton were not on the map

WOULDN'T IT BE QUEER?

One evening as Buffum left home

His mother asked him "Whither?"

And being a very truthful lad, He merely answered "With her."

Prof. Hicks.—If you were to make phosphorus with what would you start out?

Heinritz.—With appetite.

Hitchcock and Rollins, in the Fat Men's Race, each took a place. Fat Rollins, however, won by a thickness.
