THE Editors of this volume wish to state by way of preface that they design this book to be purely and simply what its name indicates, a "Log." They wish it in after years to be to the alumnus of Williston Seminary what the log of a ship is to her captain, the faithful and detailed record of her cruise. If this book has faults or defects, may the passing years efface the memory of them; if it has merits, may they serve to recall our minds later to our life in school. In conclusion, the board wishes to thank most sincerely all who have assisted them in editing this volume, whether outsider, professor, or fellow-student.

pROFESSOR Hicks, like many of the most successful teachers in Williston's history, is himself a Williston alumnus and is thoroughly full of true Williston spirit and Williston ideals. He came to Williston in 1894 and stayed till 1896, graduating with the class of that year. His life at Williston was characterized by successful scholarship and warm interest in everything connected with the school. From Williston he went to the University of New York City, where he spent four successful years, allying himself not only with studious interests and with athletics, in both of which he was keenly interested, but also in various and diverse activities connected with the institution. After his graduation from New York University in 1900, he accepted a position in a private school in California. He remained teaching in various schools of that state until the fall of 1906, when he accepted the call as instructor in chemistry and biology in Williston Seminary. He is now the sole instructor here in those subjects and has proved himself a most,successful one. His work at Williston during the four years of his stay here has been so successful and so effectual that he is now without doubt among the most able men that the institution possesses on its faculty. During these four years Professor Hicks has assisted Williston activities by lending his aid willingly and cheerfully whenever it has been required. He has acted as coach of basketball, track and tennis; he has helped materially in the successful publication of this Log; he has assisted the Senior classes of Williston in holding their Promenades. His work in all these directions has been valuable, but it is in a higher respect and a nobler one that Professor Hicks deserves the thanks and commendation of Williston students. It is the spirit of earnest interest, both in school work and school activities and the wholesome example which Professor Hicks has always set us that now makes him admired and respected by all his associates. As one reads of Williston and of Williston triumphs at school and in the world, let him recognize, as the man to whom the credit for these must be given, Samuel Wilson Hicks.

F one is so fortunate as to have a copy of that green volume entitled "The 1907 Log," let him open it to the forty-ninth page and he will find a paragraph devoted to the members of the Class of 1910, otherwise known as the "Pee-wees." On the opposite page there is a group picture which portrays the beginnings of our class in all their glory. Barnett, Chung, Corry, Meschicovsky, Riedel, Rust,and Stone represented us in those days. They looked rather young and helpless then, to be sure, but a glance at Barnett's countenance reveals even then those yearnings for oratory which were later to make him famous on the floor of Adelphi, while a survey of Chung's sturdy frame settles all doubt in your mind as to his being the future track athlete of Williston.

Our Junior Middle year brought us a few of the most honored members of our class. The call of Williston was heard far away down in Honduras and soon the voices of "Abe" and Manuel were heard on the campus. The wild and woolly Croteau was then captured in the wilds of Brockton and was persuaded to make Williston his residence for a few years. Granger and Nelson next joined us, and "Joe" Lynch and Bill Whalen decided that we needed some help in the athletic line. "Fat" Rollins, a timid buck crept silently into the second entry of North Hall.

As usual, our Middle Year brought us to our greatest strength. Our number increased to the eighty-mark. When we wanted any honors in school we just took them. We had a lot of illustrious members that year but they could not see the charms of a Senior Year on the campus and only about thirty-two of us returned this year. We thought that we needed a few more members and so we captured a few "bucks" and added them to our ranks. Brewer came in and loafed around; "Puff" Karrmann, of hockey and baseball fame stalked up from somewheres in Connecticut; then the sonorous laugh of "Deac" Northrop was heard and the gentleman himself appeared shortly afterwards and tramped up the street to Payson Hall, asking to be shown to a room. Potter, Tierney, Wendt, and Leighton for some reason came to the conclusion that they would like to join the ranks of 1910. We were surprised to see Burbank in our midst again but he avowed that he could not bear to leave us. Even O'Neill and Ward decided that our charms were too much for them. Our number was not completed, however, till a steamship from far away China brought the members of the Chinese club to the shades of Sammy's elms. Dr. Sawyer ushered ten members into 29 South Hall one Saturday morning and our number finally reached the high-water mark of forty-nine.

We look back now over four years of continued prosperity and in fond reflection we think of the events that those years have marked. We have seen Williston thrice defeat-Worcester in baseball; five times out of six she has defeated Dean in basketball. Now we are the only class in Williston that can recall a Williston defeat over Worcester in football. We are the only class that has witnessed an Adelphi debating team defeat Gamma Sigma. We gaze back over a varied series of experiences and we now express as our firm belief that when 1910 has been weighed in the balance she has not been found wanting.

SEN PROlvk

Orutur tiroturnabr

THE class of 1910, with the determination to be outdone by none of the Senior Classes that had preceded it, began early in the Winter Term to make its arrangements for a Senior Promenade. A committee was chosen and over five weeks were spent in preparation for the event. The success of the "Prom" both financially and socially, fully justified all expectation.

The "Prom," as usual, took place on the evening before Washington's Birthday, February 21. The weather without was somewhat wet and dreary but within the Town Hall all was gaiety. There were about sixty couples on the floor. All day long the friends of the Seniors had been arriving and special accommodations were made for them in Payson Hall and elsewhere. The preliminary concert began shortly after seven o'clock and the "Prom" itself began at eight. The Hall never looked prettier, tastefully decorated with streamers of pink and white, while the luxurious booths of the four fraternities filled the four corners. The large class flag filled the space over the stage, showing the blue and white class colors.

From eight o'clock until two in the morning the floor was covered with the picturesque couples gliding over the surface of the hall. The music was furnished by Atkin's orchestra of Florence, while refreshments were served by Beckmann. Neither could have been improved. As usual a souvenir photograph of the dancers on the floor was taken by flashlight early in the evening. Nothing was lacking to make Williston's one social event a grand success.

Olirr Cam; gift

FOLLOWING the custom of preceding classes,—to donate the school a piece of art in parting,—the class of 1910 decided to give the Diana of Gabii. It is a beautiful and celebrated piece of statuary, and the class hopes that it will be appreciated. It nearly completes the collection of the classical works, of which Williston Seminary is a possessor. This gives rise to one of our most imperious needs—an art gallery. Members of the class of 1910 must never forget that an art gallery is by all means urgently needed.

Tiatio Nag

THE seniors this ycar, after having stolen the flag of the class of 1909, were wide awake as to the fact that seniors' flags can be stolen. We took good care of our class flag, and it stood gloriously and unmolested the whole day of the prom.

The willingness of the fellows, and the untiring efforts of the committee made the flag a success. It was unusually large, 12x20, and of the best of materials. There was some controversy about the design; but it was finally decided that a simple and imposing flag would be best. In consequence of this, the committee chose the design above shown.

It is the strong purpose of the class of 1910 to maintain their unsoiled reputation, and if the middlers attempt a theft they will encounter in every respect, strong resistance.

The foregoing portion of this volume has been devoted almost exclusively to the achievements of the Senior Class of Williston Seminary. But already the Seniors are fast approaching the finish in the last lap of their long race in Williston. When this book is opened to the gaze of the public the time will be drawing near for them to sever their connections with Williston forever. To the members of the school as a whole and to their interest and activities the remaining part of the book will be devoted. In future years the previous portion of the book may serve to awaken memories of one's classmates. May the coming portion serve to recall the glories and successes of old Willis'ton.

A Clitintittuttiration

Dear Mr. Editor:

from a filinst

TT was indeed a surprise to receive your letter, a surprise because we I seldom correspond, and a surprise because of the subject you ask me to treat. I'm no historian, and when I write this account of the class of 1911 and its doings, I'm satisfying one of your whims, Mr. Editor. Do not expect them anything extraordinarily amusing or exceedingly pathetic.

One bright September morning of the year of 1907, a crowd of small boys were waiting at the chapel door for the appearance of Mr. Sweeney. Among these whom I recollect, a lad of dwarfish constitution stood looking into the dark eyes of a lanky youth at the left, while his neighbor on the right bellowed something about Holyoke and its grandeur. In the two persons first mentioned you might recognize Harry Morrison and "Freddie" Frechette, both of sharkish fame; the last mentioned was nobody else but the Immaculate Windiest of the Windiest, "Windy " Wicks, former President of the Conn. Valley Street Railway. From Payson Hall way soon appeared a most striking trio. A bulky person with a foolish face "Sammy" Cottrell, talking with a dark, diminutive, well knitted man, "Little Mex" Zaldivar; on the other side walked a burly, grouchy personage, "Big Mex." They joined the group at South Hall, and became immediately well acquainted. From Payson Church way glided from under the trees, a quiet melancholy youth. He had just left Pa to come to Williston and the unknown world—and was no one else but P. K. Roberts, 1911, a

THE WILLISTON LOG

most quiet and mannerly boy. These few weighty men composed the nucleus of the oncoming class of 1911, which came to life that same morning when the Chapel exercises began. A little later Hannum left Westfield to show us some class as a singer.

That same year, '07-'08 witnessed the spirit of 1911. By putting on the basketball floor a team which gave '09 a close call for the championship, 1911 finishing second; by having on the baseball team "Big" and "Little" Mex; and on the road to learning Morrison, Frechette and Roberts, the Juniors proved that they had life in their bodies.

In the fall of 1908, the class led the school in number, with sixtythree members. Of these there were athletes like "Spike" Lea, "Joe" Doran, and "Duke" Nordeen; illustrious personages like "Pete" Peterson, George Cronecker, and "Queenie" Lathrop; sharks like Neeld, Wood, and "Alphabet" Mott; gentlemen of leisure like "Bobbie" Roberts,"Lewis" Beardsley, and "Baldy" Schlotterbeck; represented on football by Lea,"Mex," and Peterson,in basketball by the "Mexes," and in baseball by "Bill" Granfield, "Ty" Cobb, who both came in the spring, Nordeen, Doran, and others. In studies its men stood high; in oratory Neeld and Hand took prizes; while on school activities in general 1911 stood among the first. This year also marks the arrival, amongst shouts of triumph, of Capt. Rich, originator of the Gun Club.

This year '09-'10 we have reached a climax. Our ranks have been increased. The Stewarts left Pittsfield High followed by a group of admirers; Longley, Speed left Hudson especially to join this class, while many others, among them the Holyoke Delegation with "Pinky" Winkler at its head, arrived to glorify 1911. Members of our class captain and manage the teams; our scholars take leading places; school a ctiviticsare numerously represented. In football Granfield, McNeil, Regan, and Stewart joined the veterans; in basketball Granfield and Stewart helped to win the prep. school Championship; and the baseball team is almost completely composed of 1911 men.

We have a bright future before us, and are determined to make it tell. The only fault to be found with us is that we succeed individually, but seldom together. I am afraid I have been partial in this account, but you must allow for this, that

A Hitherto Unpublished Adventure of Home Lock Shirks by Sir A. Troublesome Boyle. The Adventure of Green or President.

I have been looking over my chronicles of Home Lock Shirks and find a very interesting adventure which befell my friend Home Lock and myself, late in the spring of 1910.

One large evening Shirks and I were lounging in our rooms at 221 Butcher Street. For many days Shirks had been deprived of his usual recreation of running to ground such dangerous criminals as Gaus, Mahoney and Lemmer.

In consequence of this slackness in the field of crime, Shirks was busying himself by indexing his rogues' gallery. He was pondering over the chromo of George Vaughan, when we were both startled by a frantic ring of the door bell. Our landlady promptly admitted the caller and we soon heard timid steps in the hallway, followed by a hesitating knock at our door.

"Ah ha!" said Shirks, "a visitor who is the bearer of news of a vicious crime; you recognize the symptoms, Swottsum, do you not?" In answer to Shirk's recognition of the knock, the welcome client stealthily opened the door and crept in.

"Good evening," said Home Lock," be seated. I see that a weighty matter of importance presses heavily on your mind." ,

"You are right," Mr. Shirks, the weird experiences through which I have just passed would have turned gray the hair of a man with a

pagefifty-two

THE WILLISTON LOG

less balanced mind than mine. I will briefly describe to you the thrilling incidents."

"Pray proceed," cried Home Lock, "be assured that my friend Swottsum can be trusted with the deepest secrets."

"It happened thusly," quoth our visitor. "I am president of the Junior Middle Class of Williston Seminary, and the crime upon which I would consult you occurred during the Junior Middle Class meeting.

"The data on hand, as presented by that pedantic sheet, the Willistonian, second only to the Police Gazette, shows that Grumbach and Moore attempted to present the class with two dollars apiece outright, but failed in this desperate plot, through the clever work of White and Kienle, whose efforts were supplemented by Inspector Sweeney of the Puckertown Detective force. Now I want to use your celebrated talent in discovering the motive of these young men for exhibiting such unheard of generosity. Do I make myself plain, Mr. Shirks?"

"Quite plain, my friend, quite plain," replied Shirks. "Never has fallen into my hands a more complicated plot or one which has called for greater exercise of my brilliant analytic powers?"

At this juncture, Shirks took down his T. D. and proceeded to fill it with the last few grains of Central Union left in the toe of his slipper, which was last refilled during the visit of our frequent client Mayforth. Then he said quietly, "Now, Mr. Green, or President, if you will call at Butcher Street next year at this time, I believe I can assure you I will have your case well in hand."

The figures of time have obscured the many sluggish years which have scrawled their grimy way o'er the sands of time.

Home Lock Shirks has gone his way and many are the tales of unravelled mystery which stand to his credit on the shining tablets of the Hall of Fame.

Yet even he, possessed as he was of supernatural power and uncanny perception, has gone to his grave with the record of this great unsolved mystery hanging as it were, a blot upon his spotless record. Nor will the perpetrators of this dastardly deed ever be unearthed until the last checks have been cashed in and we stand one and all revealed before that allseeing eye of the great dispeller of time, St. Peter, alias Beardsley.

The editor told me I had "got" to write a history of the Junior class but that's a joke, so I thought I'd just nail one of the members and get a few pointers about the crowd. I found one who seemed very willing to impart the necessary information to me so I proceeded to ply him with questions.

"Our class is the brightest that ever entered Williston," said the Junior with an important air; "For instance we have theologians such as "Hughey" O'Brien, who is about to receive his D.D. Then there is Arnold, our renowned class orator: "Pickle" McGrath, who informed us the other day that the Jews were like the Egyptians, for while the Egyptians worshipped the cat, the Jews worshipped the pig; Johnson, who will one day make a star president for the Woman's Suffrage Association; and Spofford, who knows every word of his most cherished friend, the dictionary. Then look at our promising basketball players, Billy Johnston, "Kid" Kendrew and Zubieta.

"And how about the rest of the class?" I inquired with an amused smile.

"Oh! there ain't many more. But now there's Robert Valenzuela, whose favorite maxim is, 'Little boys should be seen and not heard,' and "Mike" Chung who bids fair to make the varsity baseball team some day. Of course there is Freil who can't fail to make the four years in two. Oh, there comes Wallace Reidel," he broke off shortly, "so ta-ta, hope you can make head and tail to what I've said." And leaving me to wonder what kind of an eccentric combination the class of '13 must be, he ran away.

AT the beginning of the Fall Term, Captain O'Neill called together the football candidates, and about 35 men appeared. Three of last year's team were present, Captain O'Neill, Hand, and Whalen. Coach Wight trained up our men to a high standard, and on September 25, we met Pittsfield High on Sawyer Field, holding them to a 0-0 score. Lea then returned and resumed the position of tackle. The score of our second game was 16-0, with the Amherst "Aggie" Reserves on the small end of the count. A week later Wesleyan was beaten by 17-0. Our next victory was won over Exeter on their own grounds —the second in history—by scoring 9 to 5. The last victory was the Dean game. Dean was out-classed in every way, and Williston scored 30, the rival team scoring but three.

Williston lost four games during the season. Springfield Training School won by a score 6-0 at Springfield. Amherst Second beat us on Sawyer Field in a 9-5 game. Harvard Second won from us in the Stadium by a 28-0 score, and two weeks later lost the last game to Worcester by 11-5, our team being greatly. weakened by players injured in this game and the two preceding ones. Of our season's nine games, we won four, lost four, and tied one.

WITHOUT doubt basketball is a sport that Williston has never had to fail in. Since its first establishment, it has succeeded in gaining for itself an unending popularity and triumphant success. This year has in no way fallen short of former records. Teams of no mean ability were defeated, while in the final struggle over Dean Academy the Williston boys won out by only a margin of one point. The final success of the quintet was due quite as much to the energetic training of the members as to the superb playing qualities of the captain and manager. Captain "Joe" Lynch issued a call to candidates for the team shortly after Thanksgiving. After several weeks of practice the squad was reduced to eight men. The team met during the season such teams as the Lowell Textile School, Yale Freshmen, Dartmouth Freshmen and Dean Academy. As usual the two games with Dean were the feature of the season. The first game was played in the Williston gymnasium on March 5th. It was hotly contested but Williston won out by a good margin. The sensational game of the season however was the game played at Franklin, Mass., March 19, which was finally won by Williston by a score of 17 to 16. Lynch, Granfield and Dinn played the strongest game. As usual the victories were celebrated here by the customary jollification, the first being celebrated by the erection of a huge bonfire on the campus around which the school danced and sang with vigor and rejoicing.

ALTHOUGH the success of last season's baseball team did not equal that of 1908,nevertheless the team won five out of the ten games played. They plunged right into the game by playing two Connecticut League Teams, namely, Holyoke and Northampton. Not withstanding the fact that they lost both games, the baseball they played seemed to make other preparatory schools sit up and "take notice." With Capt. Doran at the home plate and Brown pitching, the team indeed had a battery which was hard to meet, in fact, the team as a whole did excellent work. The infielders were always on their toes, ready for whatever came along, and their playing was indeed remarkable. Williston again defeated her greatest rival, Worcester, in a 7 to 2 victory. Among the most notable of the team's victories was the one over Exeter, when they defeated that team by the score of 6 to 5. The team was coached by Mr. Wight, much of its success being due to his all untiring efforts to give to the school a winning nine.

IN the spring of 1909 Williston completed a season, the most successful for many years in track and field work. The crowning success of the season was the Amherst meet on May 15, 1909, which Williston easily won by winning 48 1-2 points. Taking all in all,the work of Trainer A. N. Smith proved a decided benefit to the team. This year Prof. Hicks took charge of the team and has worked hard to make a success of matters. The material, on the whole, has sadly fallen short of last year's standard, both in quality and in quantity. Yet track work this year is far from being an absolute failure. The team has already journeyed to Dartmouth and easily carried away second place. Similar trips are scheduled for the remainder of the year and there should be hope of success.

ENNIS has this year become one of the school sports, the Athletic Association having taken it up,and the best player in the tournaments will receive a cup and also be awarded a tennis "W." Captain Hubbard called for candidates early, about twenty men responding. Although tennis is a new sport for Williston, all indications seem to promise a successful season in the game.

THIS year Williston held a gymnastic meet on Saturday, March 26. The exhibition was creditable from all standpoints, and both the director, Professor Henry Gonsalves, and the students deserve much honor for its success. Professor Gonsalves came to Williston last January, bringing an excellent record as a gymnast. He called his classes together at the beginning of the term, and his untiring efforts combined with those of the students resulted in a successful exhibition. Three Medals were presented at this meet, known as the New York Medals. T. W. Connette received a gold medal, including the title of School Gymnast, for first place in the competition. R. Hamilton won second place, receiving a silver medal. The third medal was a gold one, and awarded to Zubieta for the best physical development from the fall term measurements to the end of the winter term.

S a rule Williston's inter-class athletics are a marked success, and to some extent they were so this year. Although the interesting contest and spirited struggle that has always marked the fall interclass football series was lacking, the close fight for the class basketball cup proved to be fully interesting. The fight for the cup was neck-and-neck; although there was a slight difference in power and ability between the four teams, it was not great enough to make the result certain till the last game had been played. Popular opinion was rather against the Seniors, but by good straight playing in the last games of the series they easily won the cup.

The class of 1910 has now in its possession three cups,—one in football won in its Middle Year, one in baseball likewise won in that year, and one in its Senior Year in basketball. The cups are kept in a cabinet in the Y. M. C. A. room and are often viewed by visitors together with other trophies of the school.

THE WILLISTON LOG

T is the pride of Williston to boast of having supported a literary society through fifty-seven years of prosperous existence—a boast which few preparatory schools or even colleges can make. Since the founding of Adelphi in 1853, she has enjoyed a long and uninterrupted period of prosperity. The society has benefited by its influence, a great number of men, now illustrious, who point to Adelphi as their aid and guide in their Williston days.

The life in Adelphi has many pleasures. The weekly meetings, designed to develop in its members a sound knowledge not only of debating but of sound reasoning, accurate parliamentary practice, and good fellowship, the annual joint debates with Gamma Sigma, a source of warm emulation, and the Annual banquet given by the society to its Seniors prove an unending source of pleasure to those who have seen fit to ally themselves with the ranks of Adelphi. Lastly, it was Adelphi that founded the Willistonian. The members of the society feel that this year has kept up Adelphi's reputation in a worthy manner, and commend their successors to the same.

THE Gamma Sigma debating society was established in 1870, a rival to the old Adelphi Society, established a quarter of a century before. From its birth it had an upward fight; it had to work, work, work until at present we are proud to state that Gamma Sigma has won both the individual and the team cups for two years successively, and the latter for four years.

It is not, of course, the victories over our rivals that constitute our record,—it is what all are able to do for each fellow that joins our Society. Everyone of them repeats over and over the many benefits which they obtain from Gamma Sigma; every one departs with sorrow. Years and years afterwards when our members have tasted the many trials of the world, they assure us that the experience they had while at Williston in the debating societies, helped them in every one of those trials. Let this serve as a memento for every member of the graduating class, and for all those who possess this Log.

Not only does Gamma Sigma help us in after life, but it encourages us; it is the medium by which we approach numerous prizes offered by the school. It serves to make us familiar with current political topics; it stimulates our sense of responsibility; and to crown all it accumulates honors on those members that are willing to work, to sacrifice a few of their minutes of pleasure towards an interesting and instructive labor.

THE Willistonian has completed another successful year, perhaps one of the most successful of its career. The influence of this little publication has been inspiring and helpful in many ways. The aim of the editors was to give quality rather than quantity, and with this in mind they endeavored to touch on everything interesting to school life. Finally, "with malice toward none and charity toward all," the editors of the Willistonian leave their work to the critics of our day and generation, with an earnest hope that after the blue pencil has done its work, there may still be left much that will through coming days bring back to her sons fondest recollections of Old Williston.

GLEE AND MUSICAL CLUBS

THE concerts given by the Williston Musical Association of various years are among the most successful features of Williston's activities. They never prove to be failures and almost invariably prove to be unqualified successes. This year's record in musical lines has proved fully up to the standard. Not only has the association produced by its labor concerts that call forth the approbation of every hearer, but it has proved a paying investment to its backer,the Athletic Association. This year the combined Glee and Mandolin Clubs gave concerts in Easthampton and in Florence beside contributing their assistance to other important occasions. The credit for the success of the clubs belongs largely to Prof. Roberts, whose incessant work and careful supervision did much to secure the final success. The program of the concert given in the town hall, Easthampton on March 11th, 1910 now follows:

F large numbers count for anything the membership of the Williston Y. M. C. A. this year should certainly be large enough to show a favorable year in the school religious work. But it is not only the large membership, but the spirit of enterprising, courageous labor, which is doing much to keep up the prosperity of our school religious organization. That the exercises are interesting and attractive is evident from the fact that non-members of the society are always glad to come up and listen to the weekly services.

No class more loyal to Old Williston's name In all the records of the by-gone days; No class more zealous that her undimmed fame Endure eternal as her children's praise. The fleeting years that now seem all too few Each passing hour makes dearer than before, Enchains our hearts in firmer bonds and true; No class e'er loved their Alma Mater more.

Then as the years wing onward in their flight, Heeding the call of duty may we go, Remembering what we gained in days of youth. Enduring in life's conflict till the flight Ends in a vict'ry won for God and Truth.

May her foster children ever Loyal service yield to Thee. Minding still her ancient watchword, Christo et Ecclesiae. That, where'er our warfare lead us, Though the battle bear us down, And we win no wreath of laurel, Hers may be the victor's crown.

Here today upon her altars We present our sacrifice; Though tomorrow widely sundered, Still may this our prayer arise. God preserve our Alma Mater, Williston, forevermore; In the sunshine of Thy favor, Guard her, keep her, we implore.

THIS year Williston welcomes an addition to its large list of prosperous organizations—the Chinese Students' Club. Early in November Dr. Sawyer announced in Chapel that the government of China was sending a large delegation of Chinese boys to America to be distributed among the important colleges and preparatory schools of the United States. Of these Williston has received twelve. Their names and faces are known to most of us by their earnest labors for success, and now all the members of the school admire them. The Chinese boys,following the custom of their countrymen in other American schools have organized into a club with officers elected at regular intervals. The club holds weekly meetings to keep themselves proficient in speaking English as well as possible, and to secure better friendship between their members. The members of the Club have frequent intercourse with their countrymen in Amherst, Wesleyan and other neighboring institutions. They have allied themselves with the American Association of Chinese students.

LO THE POOR SENIOR

I pored o'er my books at midnight, As the cuckoo was screaming the hour; And the moon rose over the campus Behind the old gym tower.

And in my dreams of the future, Was that lovely night in June; Each Senior on the rostrum Looking paler than the moon.

How often! Oh, how often! In the days that had gone by, I had peered into the future And wondered "how" and "why."

For my head was hot and restless, And my sleep disturbed by dreams, And "exams" for college entrance Covered reams and reams and reams.

I saw the long procession From North Hall to the "Lab." The "learned" hastening gaily, But the stupid slow and sad.

And I thought of all my lessons, And my worries not a few, Till my eyes drooped shut in slumber; No more study could I do.

But forever and forever, As long as Williston stands, As long as teachers scold us, As long as students "cram".

That vision of Commencement, As he burns the midnight oil, Will haunt the mind of the Senior And at length crown all his toil.

NOTHING NEW

Same old studies

Day by Day, Going and returning

In the same old way, Same in old Virginia

Same in Philly too; Same in Easthampton—

Nothing new.

Same old benches

Same men hired Same old pictures

Made us tired; Same old faces

Same all through Same old teachers—

Nothing new.

But when we leave and come again We'll think it often o'er; And wish to live that life again, The same and as before; The same good jolly fellows, The same old teachers, too— With everything just as it was, And nothing new.

Boyle—There's a donkey hitched to a rope six feet long, and eighteen feet away, there's a bale of hay, how does the donkey reach the hay?

Prof. Tibbets—Oh, you want me to say I give it up and then you'll say so did the donkey.

Boyle—No, the donkey walked right over and ate the hay.

Prof. Tibbets—I thought the donkey was hitched to a six foot rope.

Boyle—Well he was, but the rope wasn't hitched to anything.

We always laugh at the teacher's jokes No matter what they be.

Not because they're funny jokes, But because it's policy.

ELEGY IN A WORCESTER CHURCHYARD

The whistle shrills the note of closing play, The roaring crowd winds slowly o'er the lea, The victor wends his wild exuberant way, And leaves the field to doggerel and to me.

Now fades the purple landscape on my sight, And all the air to evening zephyr's tunes, Save where the night hawk wheels its rumbling flight And glassy tinklings rise from far saloons.

Beneath these empty sands, these goal-posts' shade Where heaved the play in many a struggling heap, Each in his red sweater lifeless laid— The vanquished kickers of the pigskin sleep.

The joyous light of glad, victorious morn, The players clamoring from the training shed, The crowd's ovation on the glad tin horn, No more shall rouse them from their lowly bed.

Oft did the tackle to their rusher yield, Their tandems oft the stubborn line have broke. How jocund did they drive their team afield! How bowed Worcester 'neath their sturdy stroke!

Let not Dean mock their bootless toil, Their paltry conquest and their fractured frame,

Perchance in some neglected spot is laid, Some Poe that ended ere he well began, Some mute inglorious Kelly, all dismayed, Some new Bartlett, perchance, who also ran.

For the, who mindful of things passed away

Dost love to leave each dismal doom forlorn— Approach and read (if thou canst read) the lay, Carved on the fence beneath yon aged thorn.

THE EPITAPH

Here rests his head upon the flexible neck, A youth to football and to fame unknown, Fair fortune of his hopes did little reck And melancholy marked him for her own.

No further seek his merits to disclose.

Nor draw his fumbles from oblivion's hand, There they alike in charnel calm repose, Beneath the shadow of the Worcester stand.

Question—"Can you prove that 13 is an unlucky number?"

Weir—"Yes1 Why is it that all the people who lived in the 13th century are dead?"

If you're always broke or busted Just follow out my hint, Study to be an architect And build yourself a mint.

I just love to study I grind an awful lot, I get "A" in all my lessons, Do I ? I do not.

Eggleston—(in telegram to father):"Am sick, have no money." Father (in return):"Am well, have plenty of money."

Talk is cheap—Hamilton.
