ALTHOUGH this issue of the "Log", the fifteenth annual publication of the school activities at Williston, is essentially a Senior Class book, we have endeavored to make the book one in which all classes may be interested.
We wish to extend our thanks to all who have assisted us in any way, to Morse for his poems, to the Editors of the Class Editorials, to those who have furnished the "Grinds", and to the printers who have made the book so neat and pleasing in appearance.
We hope that when you turn the pages of this book in future years, you may remember the many joys and friendships formed here, that you may he satisfied with what the 1916 board has endeavored to make a pleasing souvenir for the year.—The Board.

ROFESSOR WATSON WORDSWORTH prepared for college at Williston, graduating in the class of 1905. In 1909 he graduated from Amherst College. For a year he was in business, then entered Hartford theological seminary, graduating in 1913. He was pastor of a church in Vermont for one year. Previous to coming to Williston he had arranged to go to Mexico as a missionary, having received an appointment from the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. As he was about to start, complications with Mexico began. Serious trouble was threatened and Americans were advised by Pres. Wilson to leave Mexico. He was recalled by those appointing him and came to Williston in September, 1914,. as instructor in social sciences and public speaking. His training and genius have made him invaluable to Williston in the public speaking department where his teaching has been a source of uplift and inspiration to all his students. The debating societies, too, have prospered under his guiding influence. By all, Prof Wordsworth is respected for his ability, admired for his Christian character and upright life, and loved for his own kind and considerate self. No words of ours can overestimate the respect and regard that are his everywhere.

A kind-hearted, sympathetic, cultured gentleman, one who understands boys thoroughly, and can overlook their faults and shortcomings, a true friend and adviser of all. He is deeply interested in all school affairs and does everything in his power to promote the well-being of the school. Therefore, is it at all surprising that all the boys not only admire him, but also hold him in respectful esteem as they pass into the broader paths ollife?

ONCE more four busy years have rolled away, bringing us as seniors in the class of 1916 to the fore. They have been years of pleasure, profit, and remarkable development. The enjoyments Williston affords we have enjoyed; through the mental training and uplift she gives we have profited; and now we rejoice at our development. The goal toward which we have so long expectantly striven is in sight, and, although we glory in our attainment, we sorrow because it means the severance of our student relations with Williston. As students we have lived together as brothers and have made friendships which will long endure. What we have accomplished, singly and together, arc harbingers, promising future accomplishments, and are, therefore, most dear. Chiefly we regret the separation from our instructors. Our associations with them have ever been most pleasant. They have been our confidants and advisors as well as our instructors. Nowhere can we hope to find men better fitted to instruct, more willing to advise, more attentive in providing for our needs and supplying us with the opportunity to satisfy our desires and aspirati°ns. As we now depart from these associations and enter upon other endeavors we know that experiences found here and lessons here learned will aid and help to guide us in our path through life. And as we take up new duties and become engrossed in them it will be a satisfaction to close our eyes and in imagination view that firmament that was so full of the shining stars of Williston experiences.

In accordance with the custom prevailing for many years at Williston, the class of 1916 presents a piece of statuary as a remembrance. The choice this year is the famous Nike of Samothrace. The original is in the Louvre in Paris. The piece represents a goddess alighting on the prow of a ship in token of a coming victory. May it be a token of a coming victory for Williston.

1916 Prom.
ONCE each year, on the occasion of the Senior Promenade, books and pencils are laid aside, studies are forgotten, and the whole school turns its efforts toward making this event a beautiful and thoroughly enjoyable social function. This year, the evening of the 18th of February found everything in readiness for the Nineteen Hundred and Sixteen Promenade—an event which proved to be one of the most successful ever held in Williston. The Town Hall, which in the morning had been the scene of much chaos and disorder, had become a vvonderful ballroom. The sweet strains of music from the almost hidden orchestra floated through the banks of palms and potted Plants, and lost themselves again among the soft furnishings of the artistically arranged fraternity booths.
Shortly before nine o'clock the guests began to arrive, and not long after the grand march started led by W. J. Donovan and Miss Coffrey, followed by the members of the Prom Committee and about fifty couples.
There was not a single hitch in the proceedings, a fact which tes tifies to the painstaking efforts of Prof. Buffum and the committee. Dancing continued until twelve-thirty A. M., when a luncheon was served by Prof. Hero, after which the dancing was resumed.
An innovation this year which received the approbation of all the ladies was the substitution of dainty ivory fans for the usual card case souvenirs.
As has been the custom the past few years, an afternoon tea was held at the home of Prof. Buffum which was enjoyed by many despite the dampening effects of a disagreeable. snowstorm.

"Is there no way in which we can suppress this powerful class?" timidly inquired a Junior Middler who is looking toward the Future:
"I fear that the other classes are helpless," replied the aged Prophet, "for within the ranks of this year's Middle class are men With the strength of Samson and the brains of Socrates. You unfortunates can scarcely hope to surpass them on the athletic field, while as for out-shining their class-room records, that would be well-nigh impossible. Why only a day or two ago my friend, Prof. Tibbets, informed me that the aptness with which the Middlers solve the most diabolical of Trigonometry problems is truly astonishing."
From the fore-going one may obtain an idea of what at least 'Inc great mind thinks of the Middle'class.
"Who are the men who have brought their class so high in the estimation of the Sage?" you ask.
Very well, I will give you a brief account of the achievements of some of our most noted individuals. In the athletic line 1917 is Well represented. Foremost among our athletes is "Sledge" Collins, Who has won letters in all four major sports. I.ewandowski, Wallace, and Spagna all made varsity foot-ball, while the fine work of Johnston was indispensable to the basket-ball team. "Jack" Morris IS captain of the track team and great things are expected of him this spring. In all probability the Middlers will be well represented on• the base-ball nine as Fallon, Johnstone, C. Kirwan, J. Kirwan, Sullivan, Happenny, Mann and Lynch are all men of high calibre and should make good bids for regular positions.
But 1917 is a versatile class, for we shine in studies as well as in athletics. Weinberg is a shark in Latin and German. Wallace, Rayes, Grange and Johnstone are all sharks and the rest of us sit up and take notice when they recite. Morris, Happenny and J. J. Shay are getting high marks in Physics. Morris has set his mind on becoming a noted physicist but he has not as yet decided just what Phenomenon he would like to discover.
With men like these in its ranks the class of 1917 seems almost ,Ceitain to have still another successful year before it.

Elias Yarrows, Secretary
Long will the day be remembered and recorded in the annals of great events when the class of '18 dawned on this world. Proud was our Alma Mater, when it gladdened her sight, and well might she exult over its advent.
Much of our success is due to the watching eye and helping hand of the class of '16. Members of the classes of '16 and '18 were always much in evidence.
In our class we have men of name and fame, including Henry Jobin, the "Senator of Maine" who is leader of the Glee Club;"Wee Willie" Bebe11, the "would-be" athlete; Backofen, the "Rockville Bearcat", and Kane, the "Holyoke Marvel," who have hopes of becoming All-American ends; and last, but not least, "Jim" Bradshaw, the "Pride of Naugatuck."
Our class has given the 'varsity teams a number of men this year, besides having a large number on the school's honor roll. Our "sharks" include Bebell, Francis, O'Brien, Bond, and others, too numerous to mention.
Such is the character of this illustrious class, exalted, pure and noble; with a high ideal, a broad and generous view; indifferent to the petty storms and struggles of life, and above those who would enviously detract from her fair name; equally incapable of a base thought or a simple deduction; for her character contains in itself both the assurance of past achievements and the prophecy of high attainments to come, in the mature age of seniorhood.

The Junior Class
THE WILLISTON LOG
Every year a new class takes possession of 30 North Hall. The class of 1919 is in this room at present and is surely keeping up the record of by-gone days both as athletes and as students.
The varsity's best tackle, a husky youth named Gormley, is a meml-,er of our class. "Jim" Barry, who can cage a basket from any angle, is our representative in basketball. We also furnished one of the mainstays of the soccer team, Frodyma.
The scholar§ are many and varied. There's Parker. He knows all there is to be known about ancient history, while Mitchell excels in writing short compositions. Marks' chief forte is seeing the funny side of.everything that happens in class. Edwards is a natural born artist and is known as the "Bud Fisher" of the class. If honors were to be had for gum chewing, Bennett would capture them all.
There. are seven Easthampton boys among our number. This fact shows the esteem in which Williston is held in her home town. They are all talented—some excel in one subject and some in another. If the prophecy of our class officer proves true, we may furnish an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Harold Lincoln Barnett.
We are here to accomplish great things. Watch us!

WHEN the call for football candidates was issued shortly after the opening of school last September,. more than thirty-five men responded, and of this number, only one was a veteran. Coach Denman soon moulded from this material, a snappy, aggressive team. There were seven games on the schedule, including the practice game with Holyoke High, but this game was cancelled by Holyoke. The other six games resulted in one victory, four defeats and one tie. Taking everything into consideration, the most satisfactory game, although it• was a defeat for Williston, was the game against Worcester. Our men were in good condition and, although greatly out-weighed, put up a stubborn fight, making Worcester work hard for all their points.

COUNTING the pre-season game with the Springfield Turn Verein, there were eleven games on the schedule. The game with the Turners was played soon after practice began and Williston was not in shape, for such a hard game. It was played then, simply to afford opportunity to try out the team and naturally resulted in a loss.
The team first was composed of Collins and Osborne as guards, Hawkins and O'Connell forwards, and Mercure center. Osborne, however, left school soon after the opening of the winter term. This brought about a change in the line up. Hawkins was moved to guard, and Johnston was put in forward.
There were no easy teams on the schedule and taking this into consideration, together with the fact that the team was new, except for one man, the winning of four and losing of seven games, including the pre-season game, was not a bad record.
Two defeats were administered by the V. M. C. A. College Seconds, and one apiece by Wilbraham, Monson, Cushing and Dean, most of which were by close scores. On the cither hand our victories were over the strong Dartmouth Freshmen, Dean, Vernon A. C., and Wilbraham teams.

ALTHOUGH but three men of the preceding year's nine returned to school, there was plenty of new material to fill the vacancies, and it soon became evident that Williston was to be represented in baseball by a snappy, aggressive team. The team showed its worth by defeating the fast Yale Freshmen team, Dean academy, and the Northampton team of the "Three-H" league, and by holding the Vermont University team for nine innings, Vermont winning by two runs in the tenth. The team met defeat at the hands of Worcester Academy and Springfield Training School Seconds. •

IF the prospects for a successful track season depended on the material on hand at the opening of school, there would indeed have been little hope for a winning team last year, all of the year's before point winners having graduated. But through the inter-class meets held in the Fall term several likely looking candidates were developed, from whom a good cross country team and a fast relay team were made up in addition to a squad of men for other events. Of the two races run by the cross country team one was lost to Worcester, the other won from the M. A. C. freshmen. The relay team also made a creditable showing.
The team participated in a number of important meets, making n excellent showing in each. On the whole the season was a sucessful one and high commendation is due to team, captain, and coach.

ALTHOUGH soccer is the youngest of athletic games in Williston, the showing this year was very creditable. With but four men left from last year's squad, a fast team was molded out of the material on hand. Three games were played. The first game was with Holyoke High. In this game Williston came out victorious. The second game was with Springfield College seconds, and resulted in a defeat for the Seminary boys, only after playing over-time to play off a tie. The game with the fast West Boylston team resulted in another defeat for us, but when one takes into consideration the fact that the West Boylston team was composed of men with wide experience in the game, the 3-2 score was a very good showing indeed.

N past years the Kennedy meet was one of the features of Commencement Week. Owing to the lack of interest taken in the meet at this time, it was held earlier this year, on May 2:4th, and proved to be a big success. The Middle Class won the meet with 45 points, followed by the Seniors with 41. H. F. Lewis of the Senior class scored 19 points and received the individual medal for high score.
The meet was closely contested throughout and was very interesting. It is hoped that in future years the medals will be as enthusiastically contested for as they were this year.

THERE was considerable interest shown in inter-class sports during the year. In the deciding football game, the Seniors triumphed easily over the confident Middle team, beating them 19-0, thereby winning the class football championship.
During the winter term four track meets were held. These were exceedingly interesting, owing to the keen competition which existed between the classes, especially between the Junior Middle and Middle classes. The Middlers just nosed the Junior Middlers out of first place by a half point.
The class basket-ball games were played on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons during the Winter term. There was a schedule of 36 games and much friendly rivalry and enthusiasm was roused. The Middlers won the class championship with little trouble.

FOR sixty-three consecutive years Adelphi has been a gleaming star in the dome of Williston activities. Proud we are of the successes and attainments of her glorious past; but prouder still of her victory this year. For the fifth time, consecutively, we have triumphed over Gamma Sigma and now obtain permanent possession of the cup. This year Williston revived inter-collegiate debating relations and Adelphi sent a representatix'e team to Massachusetts Agricultural College to debate the freshman team at Amherst. Although defeated, the members of the team acquitted themselves very creditably.
As each year rolls by, we Adelphians, with enthusiasm, rejoice to support our debating society and with her motto: Perge Sequor ever upon our lips, joy to lead her on to victory and renown.

GAMMA SIGMA still holds its usual important place.- In the course of this year several inexperienced men have become debaters of whom Williston may well be proud.
Although the Gamma Sigma team lost in the joint debate, still the team gave Adelphi one of the best fights in years.
The meetings have been a source of much pleasure to the members and the thought of the Friday nights will linger long in our memories.

The Musical Club
S in former years, the Musical Clubs have made this year one to be remembered in after years. The music was well up to the standard of former years and many in the audience said it was "the best ever." The leading newspapers of Springfield and Northampton joined in their praise of the club's accomplishments.
A concert was given at Florence previous to the annual concert in the Easthampton Town Hall. The program consisted of fourteen numbers which were given excellently at both concerts.
The numbers given by the Glee Club were well received and the solos by the members of the quartet were repeatedly encored. The quartet was on a par with those of preceding years. The orchestra performed creditably also.
Too much praise cannot be given to Prof. Kelley, whose energy and perserverance were responsible in a large measure for the superb successes.

This year has been particularly successful, both from religious and social standpoints. 'Professor Wordsworth, who is the director, has devoted much of his time to this organization and the interesting talks, the encouragement received and the general good accomplished in the school, speaks well for his efforts.
The annual "Pow-wow" or student assembly was held in the Gymnasium, and was most successful indeed.
The Cabinet has been very fortunate in securing good speakers in abundance.
Three members of next year's cabinet were sent to the Preparatory School Y. M. C. A. conference at Wilbraham, and it is expected that a good157 number will be present at Northfield this summer.

AT the close of its fourth' year of sticcessful mirk; the Yale Club at Williston bids fair to become one,of the most progressive and up-to-date societies of the school. Much of this success is due to Professor Granniss, whose untiring efforts have brought the club to its present standing.
Numerous informal talks bY former students now at Yale and stereopticon views have added grcatly to the enjoyment and also given the members knowledge of \vim Yale life is like.

Writtenfar the Semi-tientennial in 1891 by Irving Bruce, chute of 1878 (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, Christ° et Ecclesix. That, where'cr 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 prayey arise. God preserve our Alma Mater, Williston, forever more; In the sunshine of Thy favor, Guard her, keep her, we implore.

MR. GRANNISS
Mr. Granniss conies a-hopping and a-leaping clown the stairs
To see if he can hear a noise in North Hall anywheres. He glides along the corridor, and if he sees a light, He pops his head inside the door to see if all is right.
And even if tbe surface of affairs appears to be All quiet, still on further he always looks to see If anyone's concealed beneath a bed or chhir Or hidden in the furnishings or curtains anyvThere.
If anything is going wrong he tells us what to do
And if we're sick he nurses us and sympathizes too.
But if there's any roughing it a going on the while, He always says: "Betake yourself unto your domicile."
Sometimes he stops to argue—I meant to say converse Upon the "suffrage question" or something still far worse
And many is the pleasant hour spent in old North Hall Debating with Herr Granniss as he leans against the wall.
But when school days are over and we think back over them We'll never stop to censure or even to condemn Our Proctor and Professor, who lived in old North Hall For despite his eccentricities we love him for them all.

THE WILLISTON Y. M. C. A. POW WOW
On November twenty-third, Up to the Gym's athletic hall, Came our warriors for their Pow Wow; Old men, teachers, buckwheats, all.
There in numbers near one hundred, Seated 'round in deepest awe, Listened they to trap-drum beat And heard the fiddle creak and saw.
Then "little" Spagna and "Jack" Morris Tripped some steps with truest grace, While e'en the most dejected warrior Watched with mirth and smiling face.
But now the chief of all the warriors, "Heap big" Hero, from the crowd Was advancing gravely forward. Haughty, calm, and very proud.
And his words of sanest wisdom Teemed with thanks for all the past, While he looked on towards the future For great things that e'er should last.
When he'd ended with his speaking Loud applause rang thru the air After which toastmaster Sherwood Loud proclaimed the bill-of-fare.
Then 'twas Simmons' squash pie vanished Geo. Lang's doughnuts vanished too, And sweet cider ran in courses Aided by the happy crew.
But of good things there's an ending So the warriors paid their fees Singing praise to dear old "Sammie," While Joe Brady played the keys.
