WITH the presentation of this, Williston's thirteenth annual "Log,'' the Editors express their sincere hope that every Williston man may be heartily pleased with the work of those who have striven so hard to publish a book which will prove a valued memento of the happy days spent in our beloved Alma Mater.
The object of endeavor and the goal on which our eyes have been set is not to represent merely the Senior class, but all the classes and features pertaining to life at Williston.
We desire especially to give thanks to all who have tended in any way to lighten the burden of publication, to Chester T. Swanson and others for their drawings, to R. E Beckwith and R. N. Hart for for their photographs, to Ivan F. Ahlgren for his poem, to the Editors of the Class Editorials, to the kind friends who have aided us in obtaining the advertising section, to the anonymous, but eternal, contributors to "The Grinds," and to the printers, whose patient, painstaking care has aided in putting the book in its present form.
Hoping that this book may be treasured as a pleasant reminder and a precious relic of many happy days spent together, we respectfully submit "The Log" to the judgment of the school.

ROPESSOR MELVIN JESSE COOK, after preparing for college at Perkiomen Seminary, was graduated from Princeton with the class of 1911.
Having manifested a deep Interest in the mysteries of physics and mathematics, he naturally tended toward the teaching of those highly important lines of study.

A cultured, genial man, whose bountiful store of knowledge and information is free to all who seek it, a firm, consistent instructor, a loyal friend and a staunch upholder of the honor of the school he represents, Prof. Cook is remembered and loved by all with whom he comes in contact.

ON a bright September morn some five years ago, a sturdy little son of the Southland was seen to enter the portals of South Hall, pause at the office door, rap sharply and enter briskly at the summons of our esteemed Principal. Being a somewhat unlearned youth, but nevertheless, one capable of great mental development, he was assigned to what is commonly known as the "Pee Wee" class. He was then a member of the class of 1913, our illustrious predecessors, but, being a youth of superstitious mien, he decided a year later to cast his lot once more with the Juniors and thus became a member of the class of 1914.
Thus was the foundation of what was destined to be the finest of all classes in Williston laid, for the boy was none other than "Chubby" West, our noted nimrod. Others soon came to join him, among them Alvord, a raven-haired lad of wise aspect, Harry Camp, our famous electrician, "Dave" Soder, "Bill" Jennings, Hebert, Nash, Bodin, Morrison and Moriarty, all of whom have successfully withstood the "ravages of time" and the policy of "the .survival of the fittest." Each succeeding ?rear saw our class grow in strength and numbers. In the fall of 1911 'Sykes" Ryan and Oscar Lind, our three-letter men, decided that an education would be highly advantageous to them and, being wise youths, thereupon entered the class of 1914.
'Jim" Campbell journeyed up from Tennessee to lead our baseball men and win three football letters. "Tib" Collins, "Tom" Kiley and "Jay" Early laid aside their cutting knives and joined their comrades from the "Shoe City" and incidentally to obtain some high marks in "math."
"Count" LeOrand swam the Connecticut from South Hadley Falls, while George Short drew his bank account, bought a ticket and a pair of spiked shoes, and joined the merry throng to play baseball for three seasons.
We can boast of our athletes, Ryan, Lind, Campbell, Short, Early, Chapman and Collins, but we are also in the percentage column, for behold our scholarly Morrison, Kiley, our record breaker, Simonds, Camp and Lind, who shines as brightly in Prof. Tibbets' room as he does on the athletic field.
Many volumes would be required to relate the achievements of our greatest of all classes and we must give way to the howling mob of lower class men who are clamoring for recognition. Nevertheless we must tolerate them, for were we not once "Pee Wees" and, were those four long years to be lived over, would we change them?
The answer is unanimously "No" and as such happiness is unattainable we must thank our Alma Mater for the profit and happiness which we have recieved and love her in any and all of our various paths of life. Page tteenty

THE Class of 1914 has chosen, as its parting gift, a statue of an Amazon, or female warrior, the original of which is in the Berlin Museum of Art.
The noble figure is represented leaning upon a pedestal, her right arm above her head and a touch of anguish showing in the beautiful face.
A masterpiece of sculptural art, the statue is most appropriate and is highly prized for its grace and symmetry.

OUR big social event of the school year, the Senior "Prom," was held on Friday evening, February twentieth, following the custom set in the past. The town hall, decorated in the National colors and with the Senior Flag adorning one side, presented a welcome appearance. Fraternity booths, luxuriously furnished for the occasion, filled the corners of the big hall.
Shortly after eight o'clock a concert was rendered by the orchestra and was followed by the grand march. A programme of twenty-six dances served to pass several hours, while the German dance, introduced last year, added a pleasing touch to a most successful climax to the long preparations which had been so thoroughly made by all connected with the event.

WHEN the members of the class of 1915 gathered in 30 North Hall for their initial appearance in the recitation rooms of Williston, there was nothing in the appearance of these striplings which would lead an observer to believe that they were possessed of any innate qualities which later would achieve for them glory on the athletic field and success in the class rooms.
At this time we numbered but few, but in the two succeeding years our little band grew steadily both in numbers and strength. Among the large group that joined our ranks in the autumn of 1913 was the stately Swanson, who left off cutting shoes and journeyed to Easthampton to apply his knife to the more elevating work of cutting up earthworms and cats. Later his mighty arm and bewildering motion won him great fame on the baseball diamond, while his good humor netted him widespread popularity. Among the newcomers to our class are Grady, one of our gridiron stars, "Judge" Egan, the speedy outfielder and "Pat" Garvin, who showed us how they play football ill Hartford.
What would the track team do without Dorsey and I litchcock, the basketball team without Paul Keating and Graney or the hockey team without McGrath? Judging from our boasts of athletic prowess, one might be led to believe that this sort of success was all that we have desired or attained, but a glance at the honor list will convey a different impression.
Of those who have won honors in "math," Thieme and Leonard shine, while Lindblad's English compositions are unsurpassable. There are many others as well, Wagner and Walsh for instance, who, by their consistent plugging are forging away to success. But athletes, sharks, pluggers and all of the class of 1915 join hands in booming anything that stands for a bigger, better and busier Williston.—Leary.

KNOCK! Knock! Knock! Hello! Who is it? I went to the door and opening it found a big senior, who walked in and seated himself in a very business-like manner.
"Now," said he, "rwant you to tell me something about this class of yours. Quick! I have little time to spare."
"Well," said I, beginning to collect my thoughts, "among our noble class we have all sorts or men, from big "Pop" Hinds, who sports a couple of 'Varsity "W's," down to "Archie" Turner and "Kid" Friel.
"I'll start with the athletes. There's "Cupid" Deviney, our football and hockey star, "Sis" Poole and "Eddie" O'Brien, both of whom helped to defeat Dean on the basketball•floor this year. Next in line is "Johnnie" Lewandowski, who is expected to be seen leading the football squad in 1915. But I have forgotten Lee Call, whose marvelous basketball playing startled us all this season."
"That will do for the athletics," said the Senior, "tell me about something else."
"Perhaps you wish to hear of our sharks. Well, there are Connors, Sherwood, Turner and "Jack" Lawless, who are pulling high marks in Algebra and French, McCarthy, our Latin shark, who, it is reported, often puzzles Mr. Buffum.
"Our ranks were mightily increased at the opening of the winter term when J. Edward Taylor decided to take a trolley _ride from "Hatnp," "Red" Sullivan hiked up from Randolph and "Jack" Lawless blew in on a tell o'clock freight from Medford. Sad to relate, he is ruining his constitution by continual plugging."
"Well, I guess that will do," said my visitor, as he arose to go.
I could write a book on our class, but this must suffice. But, remember, we have two years before us, and when we are wearing Senior hats we will make the Faculty sit up and take notice.

ALTHOUGH we "Pee Wees" are unfortunate in not having an "old man" in our class, we are out to bring fame to Williston. Since there are many men of honorable mention in our ranks we wish to give you a brief history of ourselves.
Rhode Island has furnished us with Poole, who will win honor for us on cinder track. Lindsay is our noted tennis player and humorist, while Granfield and Smith are looked upon as future gridiron heroes.
We are fortunate in having Whalen as one of our classmates. Barron and Larrivee, who are both history sharks, and Monat, the famous Nimrod and Latin shark are also on our class roll.
With such men as these, what can stand in the pathway of four years of progress and prosperity.—A. N. D.

THE football team for the season of 1913 had, what might be aptly termed, a very successful season. When the first call for candidates was made by Coach Stevens, seven veterans reported, namely, Captain Ryan, Lind, Finlay, Campbell, Chapman, Early and Deviney. With these men as a nucleus around which to build a team, a light but fast and aggressive aggregation was soon developed.
The team won four games, tied two and lost the final contest to Worcester. Undoubtedly a much better showing would have been made against our old rivals, had the game been on our schedule throughout the season, instead of being added as it was, at the last minute when the season was apparently ended.
Nevertheless, it was a welcome surprise to have Worcester Academy with us again and we hope that the 1914 team will bring us back a victory over our former foes.

THE record made by the Williston basketball team of 1914 is one of which we may justly feel proud. With but two veterans as a nucleus for what was destined to be a championship team, naturally reverses were met with at the opening of the season, This was due, however, to constant changing of combinations by Coach Stevens and later, when the proper combination was discovered, our list of victories show our success.
Springfield College Seconds, the Springfield Turnverein and later a double victory over Dean, the first in four years, tended to close the season in a blaze of glory for Captain Lind and his men who had striven so hard to bring glory to Williston.

SELDOM was the outlook for a suceessful season as bright as when the call for candidates was made by Coach Staff last spring. Two pitchers, an outfielder, a second baseman and a shortstop remained from the team of 1912.
With such a foundation, a team of fine calibre was soon built and for a time it seemed possible to defeat our old rivals, Dean Academy. II-IOW-ever; after winning ten games and losing two, accidents befell our plithing staff and defeat Was inevitable. Captain Dinn ably filled the #fitition left vacant by the passing of Garvan, while Swanson took up burden of pitching when McLaughlin answered the call of a salaried position, and by his fine work ably aided his team-mate Sheldon. Ten games were won and four lost, Williston scoring 96 runs to her opponents 62.
Yale Freshmen, Springfield Training School Seconds, as well as many other good teams, were met and defeated. Much credit is due to the hard work of Captain Dinn and the excellent coaching of Prof. Staff which tended to place Williston among teams of high order and make the season a success.

TRACK athletics at Williston seemed to have reached their height in the previous season when, with a championship team, all records were broken and laurels were gained in abundance. The loss of six good men was a body blow to the track team, notwithstanding the fact that another half dozen valuable point winners remained as the foundation of a new team:
Captain Lange, with Martin, Lind, Ryan, Nash and Mulligan, however, managed to keep their team well up in the race and earned more than one well deserved medal.
As track is an exceedingly popular sport and interest has been aroused by our own recent interscholastic meet on Sawyer Field, a brighter season and more victories are looked for next year.

T,,IS rugged, invigorating out of door sport seems to be increasing in favor by leaps and bounds.and undoubtedly within the space of very few years we will be clashing with the teams of New England's finest preparatory schools. Owing to the lack of ice but three games were played and to the great disappointment of all we were unable to meet our old rivals, Worcester Academy, on the rink. The team seemed to be the best that Williston has ever turned out, and victories in this branch of athletics may well be expected in the near future.

ASSOCIATION football, or Soccer, as it is commonly known, was initiated into full standing as one of our minor athletics this year.
Under the direction of Coach Staff, the game was introduced a year ago and proved very popular, although but one or two games were played. This year, however, being the first real playing season, the scores do not appear particularly brilliant.
A brief review of the teams played may perhaps put a different aspect on the matter. The West Boylston league team was met and held to a 5 to 5 tie. Holyoke High, champions of the High School soccer league, was succumbed to by a score of 3 to 0 after a hard fight. Springfield varsity, 3 to 1 victors over Harvard were met. The score was close for a time, but the college men later tallied 10 points while Williston could not score.
The fourth game, with Springfield College Seconds resulted in a 1 to 1 tie. The same team was beaten previously by the varsity by a score of but 1 to 0. Undoubtedly the game, which has taken such a strong hold throughout the country will continue and flourish in 'Williston.

THE series of games played each season between the different classes is a most admirable method of interesting all, in some branch of athletics. Not only do these games excite much enthusiasm and good-natured rivalry, but they tend to bring nearly every fellow in school, particularly those who are unable to make the varsity teams, into some activity. The football games, played late in the season, brought victory to the middlers.
Captain LeGrand and his men carried away the honors and a beautiful cup in the annual basketball series, while baseball is at present under good headway.
Williston is indeed to be congratulated upon such a beneficial method of interesting her students in athletic activities.

SIXTY-ONE long years have passed away since Adelphi came into existence as a literary society.
The first three-score were so successful that one hardly dared predict that another season of equal prosperity could and would be passed. However, the meetings were well attended during the fall and winter terms, the debates were interesting and so well did our men argue, that Gamma Sigma was once more vanquished by a close margin in the annual joint debate.
It is with just pride that Adelphi contemplates the long and prosperous career that she has enjoyed and it is the hope of her friends that she may thrive for years to come.

NEARLY two score and ten years ago a society, new to Williston, sprang into existence, one whose purpose was to train men to stand before their fellows to express in clear, concise, forcible words their ideas and beliefs. Such was the origin of Gamma Sigma, a society with a purpose worthy of its name.
It is a notable fact that alumni, who are members of this society, gaze reverently upon the old familiar room in which the training, which has aided them to success in business, was so ably impressed and so firmly established.
Gamma Sigma men took both prizes in the J. P. Williston contest and, though the debate with Adelphi was lost, more laurels are expected in the competions to come.
Gamma Sigma has never lacked for members, able speakers and men whose every interest is for the society.
It is with just pride that we look back upon a career of success, nearly half a century in duration, and with no feeling of anxiety, but rather one of expectation that we look into the future.

THE WillisIonian, our weekly school paper, may truthfully be said to have originated in the early seventies although it has been published under its present name but a little over thirty-three years. When the members of Gamma Sigma were furnishing their room, they published a paper called the Camfius and Hall, which appeared three or four times a year, in order to defray their expenses.
A short time later Adelphi published a paper called the Oracle, while Gamma Sigma regularly issued the Mirror. Later, Adelphi undertook the publication of a rival paper, the Willistonian, and, at the advice of the Faculty, the two societies entered into co-operation.
Thelisloitian has achieved success, both literary and financial, and, under the able supervision of Prof. Tibbets, it will undoubtedly continue to flourish. Comparing favorably with similar literary endeavors of other schOols, the paper is always interesting and proves of great value in training those who spend their time upon its columns.

WITH the material that was available to form the Glee and Mandolin clubs this year, the finished product—the result of Prof. Kelley's untiring efforts—deserves considerable praise.
A new and very pleasing feature of this year's concert was the orchestra. Their pieces were well chosen and were executed in such a manner as to leave no hesitancy in pronouncing their work the best of the evening.
The members of the Mandolin Club had to work hard to overcome the difficulty of few members, but in the concert they upheld their parts creditably.
The individual voices of the quartet were especially good and each sal° was particularly well rendered; together, however, the quartet did not blend as well as last year's and for this reason its results did not quite tally up to the exceptionally high standard left by last year's quartet.
A good deal of credit should be given to all concerned with the concert for having produced an acceptable performance, especially when we consider the difficulties which had first to be overcome.

By Edward Payson Guild, '77
THE Williston Musical Association had its birth in the Fall of 1876. It was a natural crystalizing of musical interest which had been growing in the Seminary for sometime. In the previous winter there were several students more or less proficient in playing various instruments but their efforts at harmony had been confined to two or three fellows getting together occasionally and delighting themselves, if not their neighbors, with various instruments, playing college songs, hymns or anything at hand. The effect sometimes must have been lugubrious as for instance one Sunday afternoon when I remember some combination of instruments wailing forth over the campus the strains of "Pading, still fading, the last beam is fading." No doubt more than one listener was anxious that the fading should be more expeditious.
One day came, however, when the boys said they would have a real orchestra, and in one of the early weeks of '76 the first rehearsal took place. The players were as follows:
C. H. Lewis, E. H. Sleight, violins; H. S. Balton, W. H. Harper, flutes; E. P. Guild, L. C. Parkhurst, clarinets; C. H. Norton, cornet; J. P. Woodhull, 'cello; H. L. Ernhaut, pianist.
We had bought some orchestra scores including, I remember, Mendelssohn's "Wedding March," Strauss' "Thousand and One Nights' Waltz," a Schottische, and an arrangement of "The Dearest Spot on Earth is Home"; we ordered music stands from Boston—heavy iron affairs—at $3.50 each; the faculty was kindly and granted use of a recitation room for rehearsals. We started off with great enthusiasm, made progress apace, and ere long (proud day it was) received an official invitation to play at a regular meeting of the Adelphi Society. Memory does not serve as to just how near we approached the Theodore Thomas standard (we used to run down to Springfield to hear Thomas' orchestra, then the finest organization in America) but it is distinctly in mind that there WAS enthusiastic applause; whether in compliment to our artistry or to our nerve is not entirely clear.
With continued practice the little band improved and soon became a popular institution and the mentbz.rs had a lot of fun in playing, especially for the stag dances at the gym.
When the next Pall term opened some of the players had graduated; on the other hand there was considerable new musical blood in the Sent. Just what happened may be told in the following paragraph taken from the "Mirror" of November, 1876:
Page one hundred and serest
"The success of the Williston Orchestra last year has induced its old members, with some new ones, to organize a musical association, hoping thereby to make it a permanent feature of the school. It is intended that, before long,the association shall embrace a good glee club, as well as the orchestra. Mr. Guild has been chosen as the first president of the association, and Mr. Lewis secretary and treasurer. The orchestra bids fair to quite excel the one last year. The members of the orchestra are as follows: F. B. Kellogg, 1st violin; C. H.Lewis, 2nd violin; C. E. Richards, viola; L. M. Higgiuson, 'cello; W. E. Peck, double bass; B. P. Guild, clarinet. T. I). Husted, cornet; ,flute; F. B. Kellogg, leader."
Theorganization includedalso a glee club. Roswell Parish, master in the scientific department, was an enthusiastic musician who gave much encourage-
1876 ment to our work. He was made an honorary member of the Association and was leader ofthe glee club, whose other members were F. B. Kellogg, C. II. Lewis, Theodore Holland, C. A. Twichell, IL S. Ballou, L. C. Hay. The voices were all excellent and the club sang with fine effect. About the same individuals composed the Chapel choir with Guild organist.
As the year went along the orchestra became increasingly ambitious and all the students seemed to take a good deal of pride in it. Kellogg, a new man that year, an accomplished violinist, was an efficient leader. W. A. Semple was pianist for the orchestra and glee club. For a while l'eck used a double bass hired at Northampton but later sent home to Connecticut for his own instrument. It was expected to arrive on a certain train and most of the students were at the station waiting. The train drew in, the baggage car opened, and a tremendous cheer went up as the big viol was tenderly lifted to the platform. Then with it borne on willing shoulders like a returning hero the procession started up the street to the Seminary.
For the prize speaking in Payson Church that term, the new orchestra was engaged to furnish music. In the choir loft of that edifice we might find inspiration from the genius of the venerable noted organist, George Kingsley, composer of many standard church tunes. We used to listen with admiration to his playing at Sunday morning services and note with interest the care with which his always attentive daughter placed the long, heavy cloak over his shoulders as he finished his performance. So we accepted with pride and confidence the invitation and rehearsed with increased ardor. It was necessary to secure a cornetist from outside source for that evening and Guild made a sudden trip to Northampton without pausing for the usual formalities. On his return he reported to Master Parish.
Page (me hundred and eight
"You were absent from class this morning; where were you?"
"I went to Northampton."
"Why did you go to Northampton?"
"To find a cornetist to play with the orchestra this evening."
"Did you get one?"
"Yes, sir, best player in town."
"Good; no demerits this time, Guild."
We played in our very best style that night and received many compliments. One of our pieces, quoted from memory, was Selections from "11 Puritani," Bellini.
The string quartet section of the orchestra worked up some fine music by themselves and in the Spring vacation, I think it was, gave several concerts in various towns with gratifying success.
Such was the first year of the Williston Musical Association. It came into existence because a number of the boys felt an impulse to get together for mutual joy in music, but without very definite plans for future years. To us original members it is certainly gratifying to know that now, more than a third of a century later, the Williston Musical Association is a firmly established, flourishing organization.

THIS branch of religious exercises in Williston is one which is deserving of the attention of all who are interested in school activities. The weekly devotional meetings, held on Sunday afternoons, have been addressed this year by many professors, students and friends of the organization. Two social gatherings and "powwows" were held in Payson Hall, which proved very enjoyable.
Selections from classical authors, music by the glee club and orchestra, informal talks by various professors, followed by "feeds" tended to pass the evenings in an enjoyable manner. The benefit derived from membership in this organization is very great and undoubtedly it will continue to flourish for years to come.

The annual lecture course of the winter term was of considerable interest, and the students were in the end not unsatisfied that attendance had been required. The lecture by Professor Churchill of Amherst on "What do we mean when we call Macbeth a tragedy?" gave many of the fellows a new insight into the importance of literature as a field of study, and the succeeding lecture by Professor Henry M. Tyler of Northampton on the Greek drama, while not so interesting to the majority, was informing and suggestive. The lecture on "Bird Music" by Henry Oldys was probably the most popular of all. Imitations of the lecturer's bird whistling could be heard around school for some days afterwards. The address of the Rev. John Howland, D. D. (Williston '72) of Chihuahua, Mexico, on the day of prayer for schools and colleges, was also notable.

THAT the associations of friendship and good will,which are formed and fostered in Williston, continue in after life is readily seen by a glance over the records of the Clubs at various colleges and universities and the list of alumni associations. Clubs have been formed at Vale, the University of Pennsylvania, Colgate and Renssalaer, while others will soon be added. Williston indeed has reason to be proud of her long list of loyal alumni.
This club, which is entering its sixth decade, is by far the largest and oldest of Williston college clubs. Informal smokers serve to bring the members together and to keep them in touch with all branches of activities in their Alma Mater while a member of the faculty is annually invited to attend a meeting and relate occurrences of interest to all. This year Professor Hero was the guest of the evening and his talk in chapel, following his visit proved that interest in Williston is lifelong.

The Williston Club at the University of Pennsylvania is a young organization but one which bids fair to rival some of the older clubs before many seasons have elapsed. Starting with a membership of eight, the club will be strengthened next year by the advent of several men who intend to enter the universty this year.
This year, Mr. Lovell, a senior,was delegated by the club to speak before the students and the stirring talk which he gave showed that the men who leave Williston never leave its memories behind.

This club, which was formed in February, 1912, is still prospering both in interest and members. Many new men entered from Williston last year and the bond of fellowship and good will which exists among the members is sufficient to show that Williston and its associations are never forgotten.

THE Yale Club at Williston which was organized by Professor Granniss and some men who had intentions of entering the university has now passed its second successful season and bids fair to become a permanent organization. Lectures are given monthly by Yale men accompanied by stereopticon views of scenes in and about New Haven and coupled with informal smokers, many pleasant evenings are passed. Let us hope that the club may prosper and interest in Yale may continue.

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, where'er our warfare lead us, Though the battle bear us down, And we win no wreaths 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.
Page one hundred and eighteen
Sammy, my Sammy, My heart yearns for thee: Yearns for your campus, And your old elm tree. Long may we cherish, In years yet to come, Long may we cherish WILLISTON.
March, march on down the field, Cheering for Sammy: The Worcester men will not survive, When we begin.
We'll give a long cheer for Captain Ryan's men, They're out to win again, The Worcester men may fight to the end, But we will win,

THE curtain falls; another scene In life's great play is acted; Our "Prep" school years behind us lie And cannot be retracted.
The silent night heard many a sigh From hearts with tasks encumbered, As o'er our books we restless worked While others calmly rested.
'Tis true those years were years of toil And hours of tribulation, 'Twas oft a choice between despair And grim determination.
The world lies open to our gaze With all its strife and rigor, Farewell, farewell, dear "Prep" school days Fair days of hope and vigor.

Harken ye to my words and give ear to my understanding, and I will put ye wise.
1. The buck who walketh around the campus without his bat or coat is like unto the man who sitteth upon a red hot stove, for he shall eat from a mantle piece the rest of his days.
2. The buck who smoketh a pipe on 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 of 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 hut 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 motorcycle 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.

"B-I-G B-E-N," promptly answered young Benjamin Franklin Washington.
And the chip of the old cherry tree spake truth.
No oversleeping—no hurried breakfast—nolate marks where there's BIG BEN.
Every morning, exactly on the dot, BIG BEN does his musical stunt—a clear, mellow solo. It takes the form of a persistent ring of full five minutes, or ten short rings at half-minute intervals
lasting ten minutes. Either will rouse you.
All the time he is calling, he is looking pleasant—his hands beckoning, his face bright and shining.
A pat on the back in the shape of a drop of oil a year keeps him up to concert pitch.
He costs $i.5() and nobody ever made a more profitable investment.
"Made in La Salle. Illinois, by Westelox," Is enough to say of any alarm. Come in and let him do his stunt for you.
