THE WILLISTON LOG

Norritinril

RIP,PRESENTING the class of nineteen hundred twelve, we present this, the eleventh edition of The Log, to all who are interested in Williston. May it prove a valuable souvenir of school life, and in later years arouse the half-forgotten memories of these youthful irres- ponsible days.

In the preparation of an issue of the school annual which it is felt Will make a special appeal by reason of its many new and interesting features, the editors have found their work greatly simplified by the hearty co-operation of all those engaged in the task of publication, as well as by the kind suggestions and assistance of students, alumni, and teachers. To G. T.Short, Forbes Rickard, and Professor Gleason, for their drawings; to Professor Snowden for his copies of old Williston prints, and his photograph of the observatory; to R. W. Porteus for his photograph of the hockey team; to C. Howland,'81, for his photographs of the '-78 baseball team and the '79 football team; to Dr. Sawyer for his sketch of Samuel Williston, to the authors of the class editorials, and to the immortal if anonymous contributors to the comic supple- ment, are here extended the especial thanks of

THE BOARD.

ROFESSOR CHARLES A. BUFFUM, was graduated from Amherst in the year 1875, having prepared for college at the Salem High School. As he had always manifested a deep interest in the ancient languages and had pursued a classical course in college, he naturally tended toward the teaching of Latin, a circumstance which led to his accepting an offer to become head of the department in Williston in 1878. For this position, which he has so ably filled for many years, his scholarly tastes and culture, his extensive knowledge of the subject in all its varied phases, his love of literature, ancient and modern, peculiarly adapted him from the first. Desiring to continue the pursuit of his studies, he spent the years 1894 and 1895 in the University of Berlin. Upon his return to Williston it was with renewed vigor and zeal that he resumed his work.

For a number of years he was treasurer of the Athletic Association, in which capacity he gained the further esteem and regard of all by his faithful and untiring efforts for the welfare of the organization.

As instructor and advisor of the Seniors he will be best remembered by each graduating class. The weekly hour which is devoted to the reading of English Literature has been enriched by his unlimited fund of knowledge and amusing anecdotes of the famous men of literary history.

Prof. Buffum has for many years been conducting extensive summer tours in Southern and Western Europe and is a skilled conductor as well as an excellent authority in matters pertaining to continental travel. The results of his many tours have been woven into most instructive and refreshing lectures, with which be often entertains the Senior class.

A travelled, cultured, genial man of letters, a firm consistent instructor, a sympathetic friend who has always a kindly word to the discouraged, and one whose door is always hospitably ajar, Prof. Buffum has also a scope of influence which is not confined to the school alone, but reaches forth and is felt by all with whom he comes in contact.

By Dr.J. H. Sawyer

EASTHAMPTON became a town in 1785, when, according to the law of this state, it was able to maintain a church. To the pastorate of this church, Rev. Payson Williston, then a young man, and a recent graduate of Yale, was called. He remained the pastor of this church until his death, a period of service exceeding fifty years. Samuel Williston was the oldest child born in the home of this pastor. He may, therefore, be said to have belonged to the aristocracy of New England, for his mother was a member of the Birdseye family, a noted family of Connecticut. This New England aristocracy was an aristocracy of birth and character, both intellectual and moral. Mr. Samuel Williston fully realized the honor of the family to which he belonged. He respected it, and he sought to augment it. He was born poor, and by hard toil and careful saving, he became a rich man, as men in the first half of the last century were reputed, but a business career was not his first choice. His father wished him to have a college education and become, like himself, a clergyman. This he attempted to do. He began his preparation with his father as a teacher, and then, to complete that preparation, he went to Andover, and entered Phillips Academyi that had then been in existence only a short time. There were no

Page fifteen

THE WILLISTON LOG

railroads at that time, and the expense of travelling in the public coach was too great for his slender purse, so with his clothing tied in a bundle and slung by a stick over his shoulder, he walked from Easthampton to Andover, a distance of more than one hundred miles. He was obliged to labor for his self-support while pursuing his studies, and this made such a heavy burden, because of long study at night, with very poor artificial light, that his eyes failed him, and he was obliged to return home, again walking the whole distance. He never recovered the free use cf his eyes. These were always weak, and in order to spare them for use in his business, he had newspapers and books read to him.

Mr. Williston became a business man, first a farmer, owning land, a part of which now belongs to Williston Seminary, and on which our athletic field is located. He married Miss Emily Graves of Williamsburg. She proved a most valuable helpmate. Before marriage she had made buttons after the manner of that time and locality. This consisted in covering wooden molds with cloth. A guest once came to the home of Rev. Payson Williston on whose overcoat Mrs. Samuel observed a style of button which was new to her. During the night, she studied this button by taking one of them to pieces and then re-making it. After that she began making buttons after this pattern, using at first her silk wedding dress for the outer coverings. She was successful in her venture, and therefore Mr. Samuel Williston turned his attention from farming to manufacturing.

The buttons were first made by hand,the materials being distributed by teams through the countryside, and the finished buttons gathered in. The business increased until he employed one thousand families, scattered throughout western Massachusetts, in this industry. The beginning of the manufacture by machinery and the development of the factory system resulted from the accidental meeting with an Englishman in New York, a man who had worked in the button factories in England, and knew about the machines there used. This man entered Mr. Williston's employ, and with the aid of Mr. Williston's brother-inlaw, Joel Hayden, for whom the village of Haydenville is named, a machine was constructed. Mr. Hayden was an expert mechanic, and he could put the ideas of this operative into practical form. The manfacture by machine began in Haydenville, but was afterwards moved to Easthampton, and located where the button mill now is. What was at first a partnership, became afterwards a stock corporation, and for a long time was the leader in the manufacture of cloth covered buttons in America.

Finding that the water power which he had developed was more than be needed for his button mill, Mr. Williston looked about for another industry.

Page sixteen

THE WILLISTON LOG

The experiments of Goodyear had resulted in making the raw rubber gum, which was brought from South America, useful by changing it into sheets and threads and yet retaining its elasticity. Mr. Williston chose it should be the business of woven elastic goods. This led to the establishment of the Nashawannuck, the Rubber Thread, and the Glendale. Later in his life he made a venture in the manufacture of cotton yarn and cotton thread, utilizing a second water power on the stream which is known as Broad Brook.

Mr. Williston was early interested in the cause of education. In 1841 he established Williston Seminary. In this work he had the advice and co-operation of Professor William S.Tyler of Amherst College. In the beginning, the foundation was so small that it seems to us today that the.school was founded on faith more than on works, for $25,000 was all that Mr. Williston could give it in 1840, but as the demands of education increased he increased his gifts. In the plan for the school, he had a long look ahead, for at the time when the study of Latin and Greek overshadowed everything else in the colleges, he planned for Williston Seminary a school in which the study of mathematics, science, and English should be especially prominent. The educational world has swung in its orbit until it has arrived at the place where Mr. Williston sought to establish his foundation. He was also a generous giver to other educational institutions,—to Iowa College, then in its infancy, now a strong institution, to the Perkins Institute for the Blind, still at work in Boston doing noble service for the unfortunate, to Mt. Holyoke College, then a seminary, now grown to be one of the leading colleges for women in the land, but most prominently was he a friend and helper of Amherst college in the years of its early struggle. There was a time in the presidency of Dr. Humphrey when it seemed that Amherst must die. The attendance was small, and the endowment smaller yet. At last it came to pass that the suggestion to close the college was seriously made. Then Mr. Williston, who had for some time been on the Board of Trustees, undertook to be personally responsible for the maintenance of the college. This he did when his fortune was not large, and he trusted to earning the money as fast as it was wanted. He succeeded in doing this, and Amherst began to find other friends. Now it is a strong institution with an endowment of two millions or more.

Mr. Williston was a man of strong religious character, a most devout man. All the churches in this town that were established during his lifetime, received most generous aid from him. Nearly forty years have passed since his death. The town has changed somewhat, the people have changed very much. It is difficult, therefore, to realize how large a place he filled in this town while living. It is not too much to say that for many years he was it, and yet through it all, a wise, courageous, generous, sympathetic, leader.

By Henry S. Gere, 1842

(From the Willistonian of December 15, 1908

MY recollection of Williston Seminary dates back to December 1841, When, a lad of years I entered its portals and was inscribed as one of its pupils. I was then attending the Wesleyan Academy at Wilbraham, and as Williston Seminary Was nearer my home, I was, with my elder brother,Edward,tranferred to the Easthampton school. I was at an age when conception of the advantages of an education was not very pronounced and my realization of it was not very deep or lasting. I was there two terms, and again for another term a year or two later.

REV. LUTHER WRIGHT

We were established in the boarding-house of Dr. Atherton Clark, who resided in the, house that stood nearly opposite the school building.

My first room-mate was the boy who afterward became the President of the State Agricultural College at Amherst, William S. Clark, son of Dr. Clark. William afterward married the adopted daughter of Mr. Williston. My room-mate had something to do with the construction of the school building-. His interest in it was such that he was permitted to wash the windows of the institution. He used to narrate with manifest pleasure how he performed the work. He received two shillings for each window. He was an expert fisherman and used to catch great numbers of pickerel from the ponds and streams. One'of these places was the old canal that was still in fair condition.

THE WILLISTON LOG

Easthampton was at that time a place of small importance compared with its present conditions. Its population was about 700. There were two stores in the town, one kept by Captain Ebenezer Ferry, and the other by Luther Clapp. Captain Ferry's store was at the top of the Manhan hill and Mr. Clapp's was near Manhan bridge. Mr. Clapp's father, an elderly gentleman, was postmaster and kept the office at his house, which stood at the top of the west rise of the bridge. The postage rates were six, twelve and twenty-four cents; according to distance.

The town was simply agricUltural, and would probably have remained such, with a population at the present time not much greater than that of the neighboring towns, had not Mr. Williston entered upon his career of expanding his business enterprises.

WILLISTON SEMINARS' IN 184i

(From a lithograph published in the first catalog.)

The Seminary was included in a single building and was as well under the control of its teachers as it could be. Rev. Luther Wright, the principal, was no ordinary man. He was stern and held fast to the doctrine of good discipline. In his later years, after leaving the institution, he became more mellow,—time had fastened its tendrils upon him with telling effect, and I found in him a man very pleasant to meet.

My recollection of Mr. Wright as principal of the school is quite vivid. He was called "Boss" Wright; not because that vas an opprobrious term, but because it indicated more clearly than any other that

Page twenty-one

THE WILLISTON LOG

he was "boss." He was, in fact, the typical boss. When he gave orders he expected them to be obeyed.

A man of large frame, stout, broad shouldered with quick firm elastic step and face that seldom wore a smile, (at least not one that a boy could see) strong will, relentless in purpose, he bore down upon the boys under his supervision with a pressure that was of Puritanic origin and power. The boys had little love for him, and he evidently had but little for them which they could see. He invariably wore a large swallowtailed coat with high stiff collar, the conventional garment of the times and in full keeping with his character; a genuine old-school coat,fitted for an old-school man. I can see him now after the lapse of 68 years, as, a few minutes before nine o'Clock in the morning, he came out of his house, where the first church now stands, and marched in a straight line across the common to the Seminary building; and woe to the boy who was not there promptly on time to begin the educational advantages of the day.

An incident occurred one day in the winter season. William Clark and I had set some hooks in the ice on the canal opposite the Seminary. It was a considerable distance from the school, but we could distinctly see from the back window of the school-room, one of the tips sticking up. It stood up so long and apparently so stiff that we instinctively assumed that there must be a large fish attached to the line. This so excited me that I thought of nothing else during the recess time than going over to see what caused the tip to stand. So over I went, across the Manhan meadows, and was repaid by finding on the ice a pickerel weighing about a pound and a half. The standing tip had been seen

Page twenty-two

CAMPUS IN THE 50's

THE WILLISTON LOG

by a passer-by, who attended to it and left the fish on the ice where I found it. Returning to the school-room after recess time, of course I attempted to show to William the size of the fish. His seat was some distance away and I was obliged to measure off with my hands about the extent of its length. Mr. Wright saw what was going on and calmly inquired, "I-Tow long was it ?" This ended the incident, but it made a deeper impression upon my mind than any thing else that I had learned at the Seminary. It showed that there was in Mr. Wright's mind a sense of the humorous that was quite illuminating. I was at the Seminary two terms, and and afterward one term. My boarding place the second time was with Mr. E. S. Snow, on the south corner of Pleasant and Main streets. I was full of fun, and I doubt if any attendance at the school had any other effect upon my after life than would have come from my attendance at the school at my home in Williamsburg, yet I have always been impressed with a sense of honor that I was one of the first pupils of Williston Seminary.

MIDDLE HALL

PAYSON

#rniur Ebiturial

F0 R three years we have been eagerly watching the increasing importance of 1912, -as each new Log devoted more space to us and each Senior class realized our growing power. The Log of 1909 was the first to contain any account of the "Pee Wees" and the editors even condescended to predict a "bright future" for us.

On a memorable September morning the members of 1912 stood before the yawning chapel doors. The educational path stretched before them, while a sneaking desire to return to the "pareutial hearth stone" busied their youthful brains. Many of those pioneers of our class have been eliminated by the policy "survival of the fittest." Of their number we have Gaus, with his vast fund of . information, and Kienle, whose voice has long echoed down the corridors of South Hall with regular inflection.

As Juniors we did not come into the calcium in athletics, but we were impatiently waiting until we could don long trousers and smoke a pipe. We were constantly being reinforced by members from every corner of the globe until our class reached its height during middle year. This was when we shone in athletics and when honors came our way unbidden. Brockton sent us two "steam engines in trousers" in the shape of "Pat" Casey and "Bill" Shinnick. Grumbach had dropped up from Rockville for a two years' football captaincy, while Wood and Little were spreading broadcast the seeds of learning. Moreover, several felt timorous about entering life's great white way at their tender age, and thought the class of 1912 would be a better craft for their voyage into space than the former class had been. Many having too, other calls—perhaps the voice of the faculty—left our ranks which were sadly decreased by Senior year.

To endeavor to relate all the achievements of our class and to describe all our athletes and "sharks" would require a whole volume, and it is almost time for us to give way to the howling mob of lower class men. As we glance back on the friendships we have formed and the pleasures which have been ours, we feel sure that the years spent in Williston have brought us only profit and joy.

THE class of 1912 chose as its parting gift to the school, one of the masterpieces of Greek statuary, Thalia the Muse of Comedy, the original of which is in the Hall of the Muses in the Vatican sculpture gallery. It was found at Tivoli, Italy, in 1774, but the .name of the sculptor is unknown. The muse is represented sitting in a languid posture on a stone seat, a grotesque mask with drooping mustaches by her side. In her right hand she holds a shepherd's staff and in her left a tympanum or tambourine. The statue is prized especially for its beauty and grace. Page forty

THE WILLISTON LO(; Prontruabr

OWING to the fact that Lent began so late this year, the Senior Promenade was held at an earlier date. The evening of February ninth found all in preparation for the event. The town hall, decorated in the national colors with the Senior Flag adorning one side and the booths of the fraternities, luxuriously furnished for the occasion, occupying the corners of the room presented a most inviting appearance.

Shortly after eight o'clock a concert was rendered by Atkins' orchestra, which was followed by the grand march. A programme of twenty-eight dances was enjoyed by all, while a delicious supper was served during intermission. The Prom. was one that will long be remembered by all for it was a grand success, not only from a social, but also from a financial standpoint.

_ 411,11thtitlIV,:"

0NE September morning in 1909, there came strolling across the campus, hand in hand, two little boys. They had not travel(d far, but it was evidently their first time away from home.

"Aw brace up, `Deak,' piped the smaller one as they turned toward the chapel. Can't you go a few rods from home without 'snivlin ?"

"0, shut up ! Spot,'" lisped ''peak," as he pushed a red handkerchief across his jaw. "I'm as brave as you are, and I will show you too." And they disappeared into the chapel.

This is the mythical origin of the class of 1913. Soon others came to join the infants. Among them was Chung, thrown out of Corea by a volcanic upheaval. Also Friel, an illustrious youth whose trade- mark is "silence." And Arnold who came seeking a place where he could have freedom of speech. Likewise many others hastened to cast their lot with the "Peewees," until about thirty made up the class of "1913," the class that was destined to blaze a path of glory at Williston as bright as the tail of Halley's comet. .

To attempt to narrate the many victories of this Classiest of classes over the upper class men in athletic contests, and to describe the plie- nominal progress made in their studies during the year, would be consuming too much valuable space, so I quickly pass on to the opening of the second year—the year which is marked by the arrival of many of the famous athletes and other celebrities of the class.

About this time little Arthur Mulligan was tearfully leaving the old home that he might come to Williston and demonstrate a few things on the cinder track.

"Oh !"you say. "Why continue this silly talk ? Never mind how the Others arrived, but tell us something of your athletes and their victories." Well, here goeg.

In basketball the Middlers humbled the Seniors and outclassed the little Juniors. In baseball we could find no rival worthy of out calibre. In football we were the undisputed champions for two whole years. Although we have furnished invincible class teams, we can also boast of individual stars. Athletes like McCormick, Carter, Mulligan, Nugent and Rivers; "Sharks" like Porteus and Munn; "Grinds" like Edwards and Burke; Historians like Mahoney and Treslian; Strong men like Payne and Gillan; "Fussers" like "Atlas" :1rmstrong and "Huk" Potvin; Orators like Johnson and Valasquez.

In part, every member of the Middle Class excels in some particu- lar, even though every case is not given mention here. It may appear that this record of the class of 1913 is a little unusual in its brilliancy. And so it is, and I think not one bit exaggerated. If you think that it is impossible to improve on this record, as you very possibly may, just wait until next year and you will see the senior class do things that will eclipse all past deeds.—Mooney.

JUNIOR MIDDLE CLASS

‘COME in" was the loud response to the knock of the Editor, who was in quest of information concerning the class of 1915. No I'm not especially busy, but I'm not used to being interviewed," was the answer to the first question, as the reprsentative of'15 removed his feet from a table, cluttered with books, and offered his visitor a chair.

"Of course we have a larger number of members this year than last and they are of all ages and sizes, from big "Sikes" Ryan and long "Digger" Sands to Norton and "Bobby" Van Iderstine. Have you heard about our Math. Shark? Why Bodin, they say, he had Prof. Cook guessing all last term. We have a number of celebrities; there's Wiggin who's steering a straight course for Yale, Coleman who startled us all by his marvelous "gym" stunts, Howard, the music charmer, Garvin, who gained his wonderful development by spending "seven years in a gymnasium," and West, whose room is full of trophies of the chase. We have our share of athletes also, in fact, they are so numerous that I'll only mention a few: Lind and "Sikes" Ryan, who both sport varsity "W's." Yes, and Sands, who has a fine chance of making varsity baseball, if he sticks to it. "Dave" Soder you know spends a large share of his literary ability in the publication of the Willislonian; but I'm rambling from studies to athletics—suppose you don't mind, you know I'm rather inexperienced in this work.

"That picture at your left? Oh, that's the illustrious '15 basketball that defeated the middlers last term. Certainly it was a fine team, but just a true sample of our class," continued the rapid talker with pride.

"Isn't there anything else I can tell you?" he asked as the editor rose to leave. "Remember, as a parting remark, that we are increasing and growing stronger every year and we hope to make the faculty sit up and take notice when we are old and learned enough to wear Senior Hats—So-long."

BECAUSE "Pee-Wees" are generally considered so young and unable to handle their own affairs, it was with a certain foreboding that the editors intrusted this editorial to one of their number. Here is the result:

When the members of this class assembled in 30 North Hall for their first class exercise, little did the upper class men realize the hidden sparks of genius which were later to burst into flame.

Among the notables of this class stands McLaughlin, to whom we look to win fame for 1915 in the baseball world. "Bouncer"Stebbins and Hull tie for second place, the former already famous on the cinder track, and the latter in the words of his class mates,' A Learned Gentlemen." The state of Washington sent us a worthy delegate in Merrick, whose appearance and manners are those of a gentleman more used to a scalping knife than a Latin Grammar. Hopedale, the metropolis of Massachusetts, sent us the illustrious Piper, who, in spite of his brogue, hopes to make varsity baseball before leaving Williston.

At the commencement of the Winter term the class was enhanced by the appearance of Broderick, the jumper of fame, and Graham the Math. shark.

The class showed its advancement on the principles of liberty and equality by putting down the despotic sway of Professor Fairbanks and creating a Constitution, which rivals that of 1787. Our laws are executed by the following officers:

President, McLaughlin; Vice-President, Stebbins; Secretary of State, Kellett; Secretary of Treasury,—Disputed.

The order which has followed in the class, reflects great credit on the magistrates, the only trouble being that Knox, Barnett and Bader are strong abolitionists, but with the paternal care of Hull an insurrection is not feared.

Such is the brief record of the class of 1915, which hopes to make its mark in the history of Williston.—Kellett

Ear1.11 AtIlletirg

urriiE game has been popular here from the beginning of the I school. It was played for years without many rules, and perhaps without method. But all enjoyed it. In 1860, we find a regular organization, known as the Williston Football Club, with president, secretary, treasurer and corresponding secretary. If any organization existed before that, it has not come to our knowledge. Games with other schools followed. In May 1864, a team of 17 went down to Springfield and played Wilbraham Academy on Hampden Park. Williston Met a Waterloo, being beaten 11 to 2. Baseball,soon came into prominence, and football was elbowed off the campus, except for occasional school games. In 1878 the interest in the game was revived. The school organized chose an eleven and studied the rules. Three games were played,one with Amherst,and two with Hopkins Grammar School. Amherst won, Williston and Hopkins each won a game."

The very first game played was with Hopkins Grammar,at New Haven, Conn: in November 1878, Williston losing by a very close score. The members of the team in 1878 were as follows: Rushes; Ames, Judd, Pierce, Hillard, Seidel, Winton. Halfbacks; Hyde (capt.), Gardner, Edwards. Backs; Foote, Barrows.

The following account of the football season of 1879 has been kindly sent to The Log-by Mr. Charles J. Winton,'80, who was captain of the team of that year.

"The first game of the season was played with Amherst College. The game was given to us, because one of the Amherst men wore spikes in his shoes, which was contrary to the rules of the game. The next game of importance was with the Hopkins Grammar School eleven, which our eleven won by five goals and three touchdowns to nothing.

The playing of Winton, Edwards, Williams, and Lawrance was noticeable. All five goals were kicked by Follansbee.

On Wednesday, the ninteenth of November, a game was played with the Freshman eleven of Yale, which, though hotly contested, resulted in a victory for the Freshmen—the score standing three goals and

Page seventy

THE WILLISTON LOG

one touchdown to nothing. The noticeable plays were made by Hull of the Freshmen, Howland and Williams of the Williston's. Because of a misunderstanding the Aggies arrived a short time after the Freshmen, but the Freshmen having the first challenge the game was played with them.''

The members of the '79 team, whose picture appears with this article, were as follows: Forwards; Thompkins, Howland, Richards, Judd, Couch, Sawyer. Halfbacks; Winton (capt.), Lawrance, Edwards. Backs; Williams, Follansbee.

This list and that of the '78 team may be somewhat puzzling to present day football enthusiasts,owing both to the difference of nomencla-

ture of the position, and also to the fact that a man did not always hold the same position all through the season. The following second list of the '79 teams, kindly furnished by another member of that team, may serve to throw some light on the subject.

Ends—Couch,'80; E. H.Sawyer,'80. Tackles—G. F. Edwards,'80; J. G. Lawrance,'80. Guards—Ray Thotnpkins,'80; C. Howland,'81. Center—W. B. Judd,'80. Halfbacks—C. J. Winton,'80, capt.; F. T. Richards,'81. Fullbacks—B. T. Williams,'80; J. G. Follansbee, '81. Manager—H. D. J. Gardner,'80.

OLD FOOTBALL TEAM OF '79

?Baseball

Alumni speak of round ball in the years '50-'60. Baseball is the scientific outgrowth of this. Each game is played with a small ball and runs are made to bases. In round ball, however, there are fewer rules, and more can engage in the game. The Harvard-Yale contests in baseball date from 1865, and Williston cannot be said to have done much in the sport until 1866 or 1867. Since then it has been the central organization in our school life, and some boys have seemed to prefer an appointment on the nine to any other school honor attainable. There were few good local organizations'until six years ago. The first local

nine which proved a formidable opponent for Williston was the Unas of Northampton, who took two out of three games from our team. The Clippers was the first Easthampton club Williston feared and they have feared no town club since.

In 1878 the team whose picture appears here, consisted of the following:—Hull, c; Billings, p; Nichols, 1st; Hand, 2nd.; Platt, 3rd., (capt.); Hebard, s.s.; Gardner, 1.f.; McBride, c.f.; Williams, r.f. The games with their scores were Williston 8, Clippers 9; W. S. 6, Mutuals 3; W. S. 14. Aggies 6; W. S. 5, Aggies 13.

1578 TEAM

Boating

Nearly all of the statements inclosed in quotations which appear above in the articles on football and baseball were taken directly from a paper published in the Fall of 1879 entitled Williston Campus and Hall. From that source we obtain also the following information in regard to a sport which no longer has any official existence here; namely, boating.

During the years 1858 or '59 three boat clubs came into existence and took respectively the names of the "Iris," the "Nereid" and the "Undine." Of these we know more of the "Iris," which was the organization in the English or Scientific Department. In June 1859, the proposition of this organization was discussed to such an extent that a meeting was called on the 17th of that month. A sufficient number responded to encourage the forming of a club, and in due time a constitution and by-laws were adopted and funds collected. The officers consisted of a captain,who was also president, three coxswains,a secretary and a treasurer. The names of thirty-four members appear signed to the constitution—two of whom were teachers.

An attempt was made to purchase the boat "Olympia" from Yale, but was of no avail. Subsequently the boat "Sabrina," a shell forty feet long which had been used in the Yale-Harvard race the preceding year, was bought from Harvard for $75, brought to Easthampton at an expense of $30 and launched with great ceremony, after it had been re-christened the Iris."

In due time a picked crew appeared, and the"Nereid" and the "Iris" met in a regatta. The unkind muse of history has carelessly lost the record of the match, but inasmuch as The Williston Shari,shooter, November 1860, contains a list of the crews of the "Undine" and the"Iris" only, it appears that the race killed the classical crew of the "Nereid." The "townies" did not know how to behave in those days and on a night of November 1860, broke into the boat-house of the Williston Navy and smashed the boats, destroying thereby $400 or $500 of the property. This was a staggering blow. The organization languished for a while and gave up the ghost in the following year. An attempt was made to revive the sport here in 1877, but was unsuccessful.

PERHAPS Williston never entered upon a football season with prospects so far from being bright, as was experienced in the season of 1911. When the call for candidates was issued by Coach Wight only one back field man, three line men and a few second string men of last year's team responded. The new material was decidedly green. Thus efforts of Coach Wight and Captain Grumbach were centered for the first two weeks on teaching the rudiments of the game. This necessitated a late beginning in team work. By the earnest efforts of Coach Wight the team developed rapidly, but it was evident that a wealth of good second string men, so necessary for a successful season, was lacking.

In the early part of the season the team suffered two defeats, inflicted by Dartmouth Freshman and Yale Freshman, Dartmouth winning by a touchdown and Yale by a field goal. The next few games were won easily by Williston, among which there was a game with Powder Point, a team new to Williston followers. The last two games of the season were lost by Williston to Dean and Worcester. In the Dean game the team went to pieces in the third period after winning the first half by 2-0. The final score was 19-2. The Worcester game, played at Worcester on a field of mud and water, was lost 5-0, the score resulting in a fumble by one of the backs. Of the eight games played we won four and lost four, thus ending the season evenly, as to games. The school backed the team in every game and their cheering aided the members greatly.

THE Basketball season of 1912 was one that may rightfully hold a prominent place among the many successful seasons of the past. At the call for candidates by Captain Whalen three Varsity men of last year and a wealth of good new material responded. By hard, consistent work on the part of Coach Hicks and. Captain Whalen a fast aggregation was rounded into form that had no peers among the preprepatory school.

When Casey left the position of right forward, Dinn of last year's team again appeared on the floor and played an excellent game in the remaining contests. Nugent, as center, put up a fine article of ball, while captain Whalen played the position of right guard in fine style. In fact the individual playing of all the members was very good, but the team work was the main factor in gaining the victories.

The season was a great success theteam defeating such quintets as Turners Falls, C. L. I. and Dean. The home games were closed by defeating Dean. After the contest a bonfire on the Campus celebrated the Victory. The team won six games of a schedule of eight and the good work was due as much to the loyal support of the school as to the skill of the players.

THE Baseball season opened up with a large number of the former team's stars in their old positions. A large squad reported at the call for candidates and abundant material was furnished for both first and second nines. Practise was begun early and at the time of the first game the team was rounded into fine shape. The first defeat showed where the possible weak points of the team were. These were at once strengthened and an almost unbroken line of victories followed.

A schedule of fourteen games which contained many strong nines of the preparatory schools and college freshmen, was arranged by Manager Green. Only four contests were lost and ten were won. Much credit is due to the bard work of Captain Mayforth and the excellent coaching of Prof. Wight in making this season a grand success, and one that will give the nine its place among the best of Williston base ball teams.

TRACK is fast becoming one of Williston's leading sports. The team i is growing in numbers and strength each year and reflects great credit on the coaching of Prof. Hicks. The team has won many laurels in the meets in the past two years, and has a general place among the fast preparatory schools in this sport. Captain Brown of this year's team has shown fine form in the quarter and several records have been broken in other events.

Contrary to the customs of previous years, the records of the meets in Which Willi,,ston has been entered this year as well as those of last year, are given on the following pages.

The season has been a great success and nothing but words of commendation are due to the coach and the members.

ANOTHER of the increasingly popular sports is Hockey. A moderately cold winter allowed the Hockey team to play 'all the scheduled games, as the ice was in fine condition. By the courtesy of Smith College, the team was allowed to play the home games on Paradise Pond, The Season opened with only two veterans and with these as a nucleus, Coach Fairbank and Captain Vaughan moulded a fast aggregation of players. The games were well attended and the enthusiasm of the student body aided the players to do their best work.

THE best proof that tennis is a popular sport at Williston, is the fact that the courts are in use all the time when the weather permits. Not only do the members of the team enjoy the sport, but tournanients are held for other members of the school. The team played six games, winning from Berkshire Hills School and breaking even with Holyoke Canoe Club in the two gatnes played. The game with the Connecticut "Aggies" resulted in a tie, while the contests with Amherst "Aggies" and Andover were lost. The team played well but needed more experience to meet their rivals with better success.

ATHLETICS

51itter-(1t1atitiAthtrtiri

ATHLETIC contests between the class teams are one of the most interesting and profitable branches of athletics in the school. Everyone who does not hold a position on a varsity team, has an opportunity to take part in these games, consequently, although the playing is.by no means of the highest order, it affords much enjoyment to all the classes. The football games between the Seniors and Middlers were played late in the season and the other games of the series were cancelled on account of the rather icy condition of the field. The first game resulted in a tie, butthe Middlers carried off the victory in the latter contest. During the latter part of the Winter term, the class basketball claimed our attention and the managers arranged a schedule for the series. The games were played and the result was a tie, which, owing to the coming of Easter vacation was not played off. The contests were well played and interesting. As this book is going to press, the class baseball season is opening, managers have been elected and practise begun; the series promises to be a warmly contested one, and as enjoyable as the football and basketball.

NORTH HAI.I.

FIFTY-NINE years have rolled away since Adelphi first came into being as a literary society—years of progress and of success. It is a significant fact that when an alumnus, and especially one of the older men, returns to the school, one of his requests, if he has been a member of Adelphi, is to be taken up to the old, familiar room, that he may gaze once more upon the spot in which he received the training that helped him to excel in his chosen walk ,of life.

The weekly meetings of Adelphi, with their debates on timely topics are still training men to stand squarely before their fellows and express clearly and concisely their ideas. The open debate, and the annual joint debate with Gamma Sigma, held in the winter term—and won this year by Adelphi—give added zest to the work of the society. Moreover by membership in it one becomes eligible to compete for prizes in declamation other than those open to the whole School.

It is with just pride that Adelphi contemplates the long and prosperous career which she has already enjoyed; and as she looks forward into the future, it is not with anxiety, but instead with the expectation of a prosperity equaling Ind even exceeding that of the past.

THE debating societies are one of. the valuable assets of the student life at Williston. Gamma Sigma bears an enviable reputation as such.

The training that Gamma Sigma gives its members has borne excellent results as is shown by the men who compete for the various oratorical prizes offered by the school. At least half of those receiving Senior appointments are Gamma Sigma men. Five of the eight who competed for the J. P. Williston prizes were Gamma Sigma men:—and the first prize was awarded to a Gamma Sigma man. In the Joint Debate the individual cup came to Gamma Sigma although the F. C. trophy after a close decision of the judges was awarded to our opponents. The instruction and training which are obtained from the society are greatly appreciated by its members, Who will use them to advantage in years to come.

To promote the interest in debating in Williston, Judge Edwards of Easthampton has offered a prize to the best debater in the school. The contest began in the Fall term, when each member of the four classes debated on timely subjects during the class exercise hour. The best debaters were chosen from each class and competed for places in the semi-final debate. The subject was announced and the debaters, after a given time for preparation, selected the side on which they desired to debate. Through the process of elimination the number has been reduced to seven men, who will debate for the prize. Great interest has been aroused in public speaking by this prize and Judge Edwards was instrumental in creating the enthusiasm.

THE WILLISTORIAN BOARD

iltiotantatt

WHEN the members of .Gamma Sigma were furnishing their rooms in the early history of Williston, they published a paper called Campus and Hall, which appeared two or three times a year until the expenses of the rooms were defrayed, and then ceased to exist. In 1830 Adelphi published the Oracle and about the same time Gamma Sigma was issuing the Mirror. At length the two societies decided to publish a weekly paper jointly. Adelphi had been editing the Willislonian at that time, so the two literary societies co-operated for the support of this paper.

The Willisionian is prospering both in a literary and financial way. This year an Alumni edition was issued in the Winter Term and at intervals pictures have appeared in its pages. The weekly events of the school are chronicled and interesting news, gleaned from the college papers also appear in its columns. It is not only self supporting, but a surplus of funds is generally divided between the members of the Board, thus increasing the interest of the students in literary work.

hr 4huiiral Atitioriation

THE musical clubs have never experienced a more successful year than the organization of this year has just passed through. The annual concert, given in the town hall on the evening of March eighth, was far ahead of any Williston has ever produced, and was attended by an unusually large audience. It was a success from the financial standpoint as well, bringing more profits than any of the previous concerts. The glee and mandolin clubs were composed of a large number of members and the excellent training of Prof. Roberts, who gladly gave his time and talent to producing efficiency in the clubs, was instrumental in the great success. The combined clubs have given several other concerts besides the one in Easthampton, and the quartet has taken a large number of trips.

The singing of the glee club and the playing of the mandolin club were excellent, but the selections rendered by individual members of the quartet met with the greatest approval. A new feature of the organization this year was the string quartet. Leaders Dinn and Newell of the glee and mandolin clubs respectively aided much in making the season a success.

Informal smokers are held once or twice a term tp bring the members in closer touch and promote interest and good fellowship.

THE WILLISTON LQG

Writtenfor the Semi-Centennial in 1891 by Irving Bruce, Class of1878

(Air Austria)

God preserve our Alma Mater Williston, forever more; In the sunshine of Thy favor Guard her, keep her, we implore. Crown her still with strength and honor By Thy grace renew her youth; In the light that never faileth Lead her on from truth to truth.

May her foster children ever Loyal service yield to Thee. Minding still her ancient watchword, Christo et Ecclesiae. That, whereter our warfare lead us, Though the battle bear us down, And we 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, forever more; In the sunshine of Thy favor, Guard her, keep her, we implore.

Oh! Williston, My love for you, Will ever be, So staunch, so true. I love your halls, Your ivy walls, And we are out to fight for glory, Then shout and sing, Let echoes ring, To proclaim the name of Sammy, Old Gold and Blue, We'll fight for you And for dear old Williston.

THE WILLISTON LOG

THE CLIFFS AT WILLISTON

The largest and the most dangerous precipices to be found at Williston are in Professor Blank's class-room. These cliffs are not always in sight but they are always there for you to play on if you want to.

After Professor Blank gets through explaining a lesson, the road seems to be level enough to suit anyone, but when you start down this road you come to a little hill, and the farther you go the steeper it gets until before you know it you are hanging onto the edge of one these cliffs.

You go to class in the morning still hanging on for dear life, and yours are not the only set of fingers just showing over the edge. Soon you hear a voice above you, and then a club is brought down on your fingers, you let go and fall, but you are jerked back to safety and you hear a voice say, "Do you understand my English sentence?"

Sleep no more, for Mudge doth murder sleep. (4 a. m.)

Hearken ye to my words and give ear to my understanding, and I will putye wise.

1. The buck who walketh around the campus without his hat or coat is like unto the man who sitteth upon a red hot stove, for he shall eat from a mantlepeice the rest of,his days.

2. The buck who smoketh a pipe upon the street is like unto a man who taketh a mad dog by the tail.

3. Verily I say unto you, the buck who slappeth an old man between the blades and yelleth "Old Boy" in his ear, monkeyeth with his destiny.

4. And it shall come to pass that when an old man requesteth of thee to carry water, thou shall concede to his desires even as did your forefathers before you.

5. And if in the first year ot thy reign in Williston it should happen that an "Old Man" telleth thee to hike, thou shalt not spend thy time in chewing the rag, but thou shall hike.

6 He who jumpeth from the window of a ten-story building or pitcheth himself in front of a locomotive or rideth a motor cycle is like unto the buck who carryeth the cane to church.

7 Verily I say that the buck is bequeathed with much wisdom who sitteth on a bunch of tacks rather than sit upon the campus fence.

8 He who, being a buck, squatteth himself in a box in the Academy of Music and gazeth upon his elder brethren in the gallery is like unto him who goeth to Prof. Tibbet's class with a vacuum in his cranium.

9. He who cometh here and puffeth out his chest and telleth of his strength in other lands shall find himself disliked by.the multitude.

10. Buck. Thy name is dust until ye bring thy sprinkling cart of freshness along and then thy name is . mud.

Northampton Commercial College

" The School of Thoroughness"

This school is representative of the new type of business education aimed at by leaders in vocational training. It prepares students, not merely to secure subordinate positions, but to comprehend and assimilate the experience that comes with employment in business, so that they can rise to positions of responsibility and influence.

While it has been uniformly successful in training competent young people for the better grade of business positions, it has won exceptional results in two lines, namely, the training of business teachers and of male stenographers for the U. S. Government. In both these fields the demand for competent persons is such that ability to do the work insures appointment. Entrance salaries range from $700 to $1,500 a year. Two young men from Williston who secured their technical training at Northampton Commercial College, are receiving $1,800 a year in the government service as stenographers, and a third, $9,500. In commercial teaching also, Williston men of our training are holding excellent positions.

An illustrated catalogue of the college and full information about opportunities in any line of commercial work will be sent free on request.
