IN presenting this publication the editors have endeavored to make it purely and simply what its name indicates, a "Log", a faithful and detailed record of the past year.

The task of preparing and publishing this school annual has been greatly simplified by the hearty co-operation of those on the board as well as by the kind suggestions and assistance of students, alumni and teachers. We here extend our especial thanks to those who have in anyway aided us in our task.

It has been our purpose to make the book representative of every phase pertaining to school life and we hope that it may prove a source of interest and enjoyment to every Williston man.—The Board.

pROFESSOR HENRY PRESTON

KELLEY prepared for college at Roxbury Latin School. He graduated from Dartmouth in the class of 1910. He is a member of the Gamma Upsilon Fraternity. After two years' work in the Harvard Summer School Prof. Kelley came to Williston in 1913, as instructor in French and Spanish. As Master of East Entry, North Hall, he has proved his sterling qualities by his patience with the boys, by his ready response to those seeking his aid, and by his many acts of kindness which we all so appreciate. Prof. Kelley is one with us. Many a vesper service has been made sweeter by the dulcet strains of Prof. Kelley's violin. To Lim belongs the praise for the successful orchestra which has been developed and whose music has enlivened the Basketball games of the past season. Formerly he had charge of the Glee Club, the performance of which, thanks to his 'pains, does not need our praise. Professor Kelley is respected and admired by all for his ability, and his own winning personality; a gentleman to whose virtues and accomplishments no words of ours can render full justice.

Of national societies, he is a member of the National Geographical Society; the American Academy of Political and Social Science; the American Philological Society ; the American Institute of Civics. He is a trustee of the American International College and has been for a number of years Secretary of the Williston Seminary Board of Trustees.

He takes an active interest in local affairs and is President of tl:e Easthampton Public Library Association and a member of the \Tillage Improvement Society.

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 of life?

BUT of the din and the uproar with which the Mt. Tom Special tore into Easthampton one fine September morn four years ago, there was seen to emerge ten or eleven intrepid adventurers. These noble youths were members of the Junior Class of that year. Sad to relate, in the course of time, many of them found the call for further exploration outside the halls of learning too strong for their daring spirits to resist and they decamped. Thus it happens that out of that classic foot-ball number but one remains, Lindsay, our wizard racket wielder.

But with this small nucleus the fame of '17 spread far and wide; others soon hastened to Lindsay's side. Foremost among them was Lewandowski whom both upper and lower classmen extol as Williston's great punter. Originally of '1916","Lavy," foreseeing "1917's" superiority over all classes of Williston, past, present or future and Proudly accepting the encore of the Faculty, determined to forget his former coMrades and enter the ranks of a notable class. The'wisdom of "Lavy's" move became at once apparent, for with him .that year entered a strong contingent of new men, "Joe" Berry, Grange, Hayes, Janssen, Luce,"Jack" Morris, Norton, Shay, Wallace, Warren, and a host of others, as great a ,group of invincibles as was ever brought together under the beneficent gaze of "Old Sammy!'

Middle year brought us additional strength, in fact a veritable avalanche of promising material swelled our ranks. "Mike" Fallon fought his way up from Hartford ; the Kirwans, a redoubtable battery, feeling they needed Williston's fostering care, wise youths that they were, cast in their lot with us; Harvey Gale, swift of foot, blew up from Schenectady to give us the pleasure of his mile and smile: Tompkins decided that Washington was no place for him, and that Congress could spare him for a brief five months ; "Doc" Knight with deep prophetic insight foreseeing the time when he should be able to blow up the chemistry "Lab" or at least make a good attempt at hurriedly left his beloved Peekskill and journeyed EasthamptonWard with theutmost speed. Time fails us to tell of Hayes, and Berry and Janssen and Dunbar, and other lights of the class. Suffice it to say that "17" forged along with a success that knocked other classes into stunned inaction.

By Senior year Williston and 1917 were synonymous, witness Brady, Lewis, and Keefe, who found the attractions of our brilliant Page nineteen

TIIE WILLISTON LOG

gathering so great that th(•\ decided to stay over another year to deepen their friendship for NV illiston's'courses. Many and numerous were the eleventh hour "Bucks" joining this fall,—notably Finn, Murphy, Prickitt, McGrath, McKay, Bavier, Storrs, Thrall and Wildner. We regret to say that now and then some of our former comrades left us as quietly as the Arab who silently folds his tent( for further particulars apply to the Faculty).

With the above wealth of athletic, social and scholastic material, it is small wonder that things hummed. Honors were ours for the taking. Represented in foot-ball by Lewandowski, Collins, Swan, and Wallace, in basket-ball by Johnston, J. Kirwan, Sullivan and Murphy, in base-ball by the Kirwans, Berry and Finn, in track by Lewis, Keefe, Gale and Thrall, we are, athletically speaking, a la top notch. But meanwhile our scholars have not been idle. Read the records of Finn, Grange, Weinberg, Wallace, Hayes, McGrath and Thrall, and you will read but to admire and sigh, for old friends must part and all too soon the memories of our life here at Williston may, be but pleasant dreams. We part, however, with the satisfaction of having made progress toward the goal for which we have been striving through steady, persistent, intelligent, courageous work.

The Class of 1917, following the custom of preceding classes, presents to the school in parting from her portals, a piece of statuary, the Capitoline Museum statue of Antinous.

"In all figures of Antinous," says Winklemann, "the face has a rather melancholy expression; the profile is gently sloped downwards, and the mouth and chin are especially beautiful."

In the attempts of sculptors to produce idealized representations o Antinous, art received a great stimulous.

Prom.

THAT such a large amount of enjoyment could be experienced in such a few short hours was a revelation to all who attended the Nineteen Hundred and Seventeen Promenade, held in the Town Hall, February sixteenth. To say that the "Prom" was a success would be stating it mildly. It was a most perfect occasion. From eight until nine o'clock, the orchestra, nearly hidden by banks of palms and potted plants, played several merry selections. • The music was indeed unique. Even the music of Orpheus could not have charmed his audience more than the gay "punk, punk" of the banjoes charmed the listeners sitting cozily among the cushions in the artistically arranged fraternity booths.

At nine o'clock the Grand March was formed, led by John J. Shay and Miss Cuttle, followed by the members of the "Prom Committee" and about seventy-five couples.

Dancing was continued until twelve-thirty when luncheon was served, after which Prof. BulIum and other members of the faculty spoke. Our Williston Spirit was strongly demonstrated in the hearty cheering and singing led by Townsend during the lunch, after which dancing was resumed.

The souveniers, card cases having the Williston Seal stamped on the front, were agreed upon by all as being superb.

The customary faculty tea was held in the reception room at Ford Hall. This event proved as successful as that following it.

For the painstaking efforts which made this most successful From possible, the Senior Class wishes to express its appreciation to Prof. Buffum and the Prom Committee.

FOR many years the Middle Class has been the banner class of the school, first in studies, first in sports, and first in all phases of Williston life. Our teachers look upon us with pride, and well they may, for in us they find that they have someone to whom they can look forward to in solving the problems that will benefit teachers and students alike.

Not only are we first in the life of the school, but also in proving our love and patriotism for our country, as shown by the number who have already enlisted, and of those who will enlist at the close of the school year, in the service of our land.

In the crass rooms we have such men as O'Toole, Shaw,'Ventres, and Walsh, Who make even our estimable friend, Prof. Tibbets, sit up and take notice. Hawkins is a shark in French and Latin, while Kane, Fitzgibbons, Laroque, and Irving keep us. all on edge when they recite. Durant has discovered what electricity is, but refuses to impart the knowledge to the rest of us.

In athletics we are supreme. Capt. Backofen, Kane, Caine, Mullen, and Bogigian contributed their efforts to the football team ; Dunn and Caine were the mainstays of the basket-ball team. Fulner and Joseph represent us in track, and in baseball we have Bradshaw, Parks, Bogigian, Laroque, and Dunn. With these men as a nucleus, we are sure to gain name and fame as Seniors.

S'PRONG and undaunted, the Class of 1919 has triumphantly reached another milestone on the broad highway it is traveling. The mile was longer than many miles are, but the extra length was not resented, for all enjoyed it.

Glorious are the achievements of our ranks, and long will they be remembered. We are ably represented, both on the athletic field, and in the classrooms. "Mal" Gormley, and "Buck" Graves, better known as Hercules and Goliath, who played left tackle and center, on the football team, were from our ranks. "Jim" Barry, who is a scientific expert in caging baskets, represented us in basket ball.

In the classroom we are equally pre-eminent. We have gone through Prof: Tibbets' fearful elimination, and while a few hesitated and were lost, most of us came through. For sharks we have "Hank" Hillenbrand,"Bus" Barnett,"Vic" Powers and a host of others. We have orators in our midst, too, W. W. Blanchfield, alias Thomas B. Macaulay, and Chester Glenn, the famous speaker from Brockton.

Great promise does this illustrious class show, the best class in the annals of Williston, a class whose members reveal in themselves past achievements and the prophecy of high attainment in the mature age of middlehood and seniorhood.

View on Campus

FOR seventy-five years Williston has waited for the Class of 1920 which is now in its first stages of development, comparatively small in numbers, but not lacking in representatives from different parts of the globe. There are boys from England, Panama, Florida, and—Chicopee, Massachusetts.

The class organized early in the Fall term and the officers have done their utmost to keep alive an interest in school and class actiN ities. The formation of the inter-dormitory league in a way • cut short the class athletic prospects in basketball, although the class team played the Easthampton Grammar School. But even if the class has not shown brilliantly in this line, it has some Members that deserve honorable mention. "Bob" Smith with his "track W" is by far our most versatile athlete, winning for himself places on the football squad, track and baseball tcams. Next to "Bob" is "Kid" Moylan, who made the second team in football, the track team, and the baseball squad. "Bob" and "Kid" are by no means the only ones in athletics as we have some very promising material in "Ned" Lynch and "Legs" Hupfer. In the class is one "Jerry", who although not an athlete manifests a tendency to make history for himself. In the affairs of the school he figures as a "pillar" of the beloved Study

But our scholastic record must not be overlooked. It seems strange that in the Fall term we had no honor men, though two boys received honor rank in one study and the "credit" column contained five names. The class braced up in the Winter term, and "Bob" Smith and "Chink" Hicks• got second honors--the "credit" column doubling. Related to our studies is another phase of school life, debating. One fifth of our number is enrolled in either Gamma Sigma or Adelphi.

The Juniors have at least one great thing to their credit—"School Spirit," and as they go on through Williston this spirit will grow With the class.—Mayher.

THE foot-ball team of 1916 made a record which deserves a high place in the annals of Williston's athletic history. With seven veterans of the 1915 team as a nucleus, Coach Denman whipped into shape the fastest eleven that has represented the school in a number of years.

The team defeated the Churchills of Holyoke, Suffield School and Holy; Cross Seconds in order, but met defeat at Dean. They came back strong, however, and secured victories over Cushing Academy and Springfield College Seconds. Then came the all important Worcester game. Williston led their rivals until near the close of the first half when Worcester evened matters up. In the last half a sensational field goal by the Worcester quarterback put his team in the lead—a lead which Williston was unable to overcome in spite of the fact that they worked the ball down to within a few feet of the Worcester gcal line when the final whistle blew.

THERE is little doubt that the basketball team of 1916-17 would have made an enviable record had they not been followed by that well-known jinx, Hard-Luck. Of the original quintet only one man, Dunn, was left at the close of the season ; of the remaining four, Johnston and Hawkins were forced to quit early in the season because (,1 illness, while Collins and Sias left school. These vacancies, coming at different t: mes throughout the season, made necessary a constant shaking-up of the team, which was a great hindrance to a successful season.

LAST Spring 'Williston was undoubtedly represented by the fastest nine that has graced Sawyer Field in years. Beside the three veterans of the 1915 team there was a great wealth of talent among the new material.

The team won nine games, lost three and tied one. The tie was with our old rivals, Worcester, the game being called in the sixth inning because of rain.

ANT ILLISTON was represented at only two of the inter-scholastic track meets last Spring, and in both of these meets the team scored points. This winter the indoor season proved unusually successful, since we not only defeated Dean, our old rivals, in the mile relay at the Naval Meet at Hartford, but also won the interscholastic team trophy for the highest number of points scored.

THE lack of a favorable winter forced all the hockey matches to be cancelled. The first date on the schedule was with the Massachusetts Agricultural College Freshmen, but as the ice was in poor condition, the game was called off.

There was some promising material displayed in the preliminary practice. This gave rise to expectations of a successful season had the weather permitted.

CLASS football aroused the usual enthusiasm among the students and the plan of inter-dormitory athletics met with equal success. The class football championship was not decided as the Seniors and Middlers battled to a scoreless tie in what would have been the deciding game.

THE Fraternities of Williston, recognizing that there was a pressing need of an active, organized co-operation on the part of all the students towards a common end—the best interests of Williston--met together early last fall to discuss 'ways and Means of arriving at this result.

It seemed advisable to form .a working nucleus made up of those 1 ,1,sent ; two from each of the Fraternities. This repreentative body it was agreed to call "The Williston Student Council."

The purpose of this Council has been to discuss affairs of interest to the school, and to formulate plans to refer back to the stut body on any matter where united action is desirable; in general, Pt take an active part in the school life and to work for all that is Lest in Williston.

The project has met with great success and is already filling a most important Place in the life of the school.

Adelphi Society

THE WILLISTON LOG

Aititi

AWAY back in 1853, Adelphi made her bow to the world as the first and only literary society at Williston, and for a time she was without a rival. Then, a good many years later, Gamma Sigma was organized for the scientific side of the school, Adelphi taking the classical.

Adelphi's past history has been a brilliant one. To her belongs the honor of'having established the present Willistonian. She can point with pride to her illustrious alumni and to the prominent place she has always taken in school life. The current year has been a continuance of her good record. For the sixth consecutive time shc has defeated Gamma Sigma in the annual debate and also captured the individual cup. Remembering her glorious past and noting her present progress and prosperity, Adelphi may well look forward to many more years of usefulness and honor.

GAMMA SIGMA made unusually good progress during the past year and although defeated by Adelphi in the Annual Joint Debate she put up a very creditable performance. The contest was conceded to have been one of the most spirited yet held between the two societies. The membership of the society has, to a large extent, been taken from the new men who entered school this fall and during the course of the year many of this number have developed into good debaters. The meetings have, as in former years, been held on Friday evenings and have been much better attended than has generally been the rule.

The society can with just pride look back on a career of success and it is with no feeling of anxiety, but rather one of expectation that she looks forward to the future.

THE WILLISTON LOG

Olits r;

THE WILLISTONIAN has just completed its 35th anniversary, thus making it one of the oldest weekly preparatory school papers in the East.

The aim of The Willistonian has been to give an account of all of the various events of the year, to reflect and arouse school spirit, to keep in touch with the alumni, and to present to the students the opportunity for valuable literary training.

The year has been a successful one for the paper, from a financial point of view as well as from a literary. lhe responsibility for the publication's success has been almost entirely on the students themselves this year and for - that reason the high standard attained is all the more noteworthy.

THIS branch of the religious life of Williston has enjoyed a pronounced success in its years work. Under the capable direction of Mr. Wilder the association has introduced several radical changes in its work and has considerably widened its field of action. Accompanying this change were a few unavoidable complications, but by next year it is expected the new system will be well under way.

One of the most noteworthy features of the year's work is the excellent program of addresses which have been delivered at the weekly devotional services. These have been highly instructive and profitable and have met with the most gratifying response. The association is to be particularly commended for its efforts in this phase of its activity.

Vale Cub at Miami

THE interest shown in the Yale Club this year has been somewhat less than that of former years, yet the year has been by no means unsuccessful. Many a pleasant as well as an instructive evening has been spent at its monthly gatherings. The organization has (lone, much towards bringing those interested in Yale, together and in helping them prepare for a full participation in Yale life. Much of the credit for the club's prosperity belongs to Professors Granniss and Morse who have always taken active parts in its work since its organization five years ago.

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 Ecclesix. 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.

OLD WILLISTON

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

SAMMY

Sammy, my Sammy, My heart yearns for thee; Yearns for your campus, Arid your old elm tree, Long may we cherish, In years yet to come, Long may we cherish WILLISTON.

CHEERING FOR SAMMY

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 "Cap" Backofen's men They're out to win again, The Worcester men may fight to the end, But we will win.

JEFF DAVIS

Hang Jeff Davis to a sour apple tree, Down went McGinty to the bottom of the sea, She's my Annie and I'm her Joe, Listen to my tale of WHOA! Can Worcester Acad. play football? NO! Get ap!

Glory, glory to old Williston, Glory, glory to old Williston, Glory, glory to old Williston, Hurrah for the Gold and Blue.

AS WE GO MARCHING

Oh! Hand me down my bonnet, Oh! Hand me down my shawl, Oh! Hand me down my calico dress, I'm going to a calico ball. Oh! First she gave me honey, And then she gave me cake, And then she gave me ginger bread, For kissing her at the gate. Oh! As we go marching, When the band begins to p-l-a-y,

You can hear the people shouting, Williston Sem. is out to win today.

HIT THE LINE

Williston is e'er victorious On the gridiron, field and track, Play the game, boys, play together And we'll bring the victory back. Ring the bells of old South Hall, Paint the town as ne'er before, Play the game, boys, play together, Score once more, boys, score once more.

STAND UP MEN

Stand up men and fight fcr Sammy, As the Gold and Blue appears; Naught avails the strength of Worcester, When they hear our mighty cheers; Rah! Rah! Rah! Fight! Fight! Fight! for Sammy Plunge on down the field; Touchdown, touchdown, Williston, Fair Worcester's strength must yield.

WILLISTON, MY WILLISTON

Oh, hear thy sons in happy song, Williston, my Williston, Thy sons are loyal, true and strong, Williston, my Williston, tRing out, ring out, old South Hall bell, Let Alma Mater's triumph tell, To those who love your name so well, Williston, my Williston.

Zip Parting

The time has come for us, dear friends, . To pack our trunks and odds and ends, And say good-bye to Williston And all our friends in Easthampton.

To big George Lang, who's "coffee and" Is sure the best in all the land, To Mac and Pete and Tony, too, With weeping eyes we say "Adieu ;"

To all the gang in the "P. O.," Frank and Louis and Ed and Joe, Who smilingly told us. "Not today," When "her's" was due, to cheer the way;

To Mr. Taintor and his clerk Who sold us books to do our work; To the Majestic and Mascot, Whose shows begin at eight o'clock;

To all the pretty high school girls, Who wear their hair in pugs and curls; To friends in Smith and Holyoke; To Fritz whose sodas kept us broke.

From all that's dear in school and town, From all who did or did not frown Upon us and our escapades, 'We part,—to wield the guns or spades.

AND YOU felt shivery ALL OVER 'TILL YOU hit your oatmeal OR WHATEVER it was YOU HAD. AND WHEN chapel came YOU DIDN'T go in LIKE YOU'D always done, BUT WENT down in front WHERE THEY all stared at you. AND DURING the singing YOU GOT shivering again,

AND KEPT wondering IF THE kids COULD SEE HOW SCARED you were. AND KEPT saying YOUR THING TO YOURSELF, OVER AND OVER. AND THEN the singing stopped. AND YOU FELT weak, AND SCARED blue, AND INSTEAD of going up careless YOU TRIPPED ON THE step. AND SOMEBODY LAUGHED. AND THE WHOLE school laughed. AND WHEN you got up ON THE platform ALL WAS quiet. AND YOU couldn't SEE A FRIENDLY face AN YWHERE IN THE audience, BECAUSE IT WAS all blurry LIKE AN OCEAN of foam. AND WHEN you tried TO SPEAK YOU WHISPERED, AND MUMBLED UNDER YOUR breath. AND YOU started AT THE end of your piece, AND FORGOT the first, AND STOPPED, AND WENT "Er" and "Ah". AND THAT somebody LAUGHED again. AND THE whole school laughed AGAIN.

AND YOUR knees STARTED TO wobble. AND YOUR tongue dried up. BUT YOU muttered SOMETHING, AND RAN off AND FORGOT to bow AND EVERYTHING. BUT YOU sat down, AND SMILED, AND WERE GLAD IT WAS OVER. BE GOOD.

DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT?

Dr. Sawyer blames it on us all.

North has a strong suspicion that South Hall is to blame.

South puts it up to the town fellows.

Others say Ford Hall knows something about it.

But will somebody kindly tell us positively who copped the ice cream?

"Not yet. Give me time."

Hearken 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 hat or coat is like unto the man who sitteth upon a red hot stove, for he shall eat from a mantlepiece 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 shalt 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, but thou shalt 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 a 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.
