THE WILLISTON LOG

ifforritiorb

NI 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 and one which every Williston man would be glad to own. No time or work has been spared in order to have the articles interesting and true to life—no expense that would make the illustrations better has been avoidea ; but "write ups" cannot give the whole story of life at Williston, and pictures do not always show our class mates as we remember them. Take this volume, therefore, as a souvenir; value it, not for itself, but for the memories it will later call to mind,—not for what it is, but for what it stands.—THE BOARD.

ROFESSOR DAVID COWAN McALLISTER prepared for college at Walton High School. He graduated from Amherst in the .class of 1894 and is a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity: He has served as qicector of Athletics and Head of the Junior School at Peekskill Military Academy, Director of Athletics and Head of the junior School at Groff County School and as Principal of McAllister School, Asbury Park, N. J. In 1916 Prof. McAllister came to Williston as Headmaster of tlfe Junior School. Even though we have not come into close association with him in the class room, he is one with us. Many are the words of advice and encouragement which he has given on the athletic field. To Prof. and Mrs. McAllister, and to them alone, is due the credit and praise for the complete success of the Glee Club Concert. And surely, no better example of a man's ability as a leader of men can be found than the way the students answered Prof, McAllister's every request during the Glee Club rehearsals.

Some teachers are admired for theii- qualities as teachers; others for the qualities which make them gentlemen in,the'finest sense of the word. We admire Prof. McAllister for both,—David Cowan McAllister has won the love and respect of all who have come into contact with him.

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 al they pass into the broader paths of life?

ONCE more four busy years, years of pleasure, profit and remarkable development, have rolled away, and the time has come for the Class of 1918 to say its last farewell ; for the goal toward which we have so long expectantly striven is in sight. Many and valuable are the lessons which we have learned at Williston, but paramount to all others is the lesson of -self-sacrifice and obedience and well does the Class of 1918 know the meaning of these words. Last Fall saw a class of thirtysix men starting on the last lap of their Then came the call of the Nation, the call of at the first summons, ten of our class-mates hopes and ambitions and answered the call.

preparation for college. Supreme Sacrifice, and left their studies, their We few who still remain, have tried to "do our bit" by forgetting our pleasures and by working as one to uphold the traditions set by previous glasses. Bard as we might have tried, we would never have succeeded without the unfaltering aid of our instructors and greatly do we regret our separation from them. They have been our friends and advisors as well as our instructors; eager to aid and slow to reprove. And, as we depart from these associations and enter upon our diverse paths, we know that the lessons learned here and the friendships we have made, always remaining clear in our minds, will help to ease our journey through life.

FOLLOWING the custom of preceding years, the Class of 1918 presents, as its parting gift to the school, two pieces of statuary ; the "Idolino" and the "Spinario." Both are replicas of well-known Greek originals in bronze; the "Idolino" is from the archeological museum in Florence, and the "Spinario" from the Palace of the Conservatoroi in Rome.

TO make up for the concert we did not have last year, the Williston Glee Club gave one this year that was at least on a par, and according to many in the audience "the best ever", of any ever before held in the history of the school.

The proceeds of the concert were used *to buy a "Comfort-Kit" for every Williston man in the Service and this patriotic motive so increased the enthusiasm of the school that rehearsal nights always found every member at hand. The Student Council took charge of the sale of tickets, while the.Drawing Department furnished numerous posters to advertise the concert.

Mr. and Mrs. McAllister, of the Junior School, had charge of the Glee Club and Prof. Dickinson trained the orchestra and mandolin club. Too great praise cannot be given them, for their untiring efforts and perserverance were largely responsible for the success of the concert.

ONCE more a busy year has roliod around and it behooves the Class of 1919 to render an account of its stewardship. In all school activities we have been in the van, setting the pace for the underclassmen.

In the recitation room are such stars as Hillenbrand, whose work in "Trig" will never be surpassed; Seidel, who will soon be teaching the Physics class; while the English of Bourque and "Al" Wehner is unsurpassable. On the gridiron, track and diamond we have made history. As pigskin chasers none can compare with Bourque, Hodgkins, Schlesin7er and Wehner; while on the cinders we are ably represented by Hadley, Dryhurst, Shaw and Captain Doyle. As wielders of the ash, short-stop "Chic" Denham and pitcher Herbert Berquist, whose record of strike-outs has never been equalled in the annals of "prep" school baseball, have won fame for Williston. Before los4lancing accounts we must pass upon those who have entered a greater, nobler field of activity; those who have given themselves to the service of their country—Dexter H. Craig, 2d, Thomas P. Bradshaw, Chester L. Glenn, Clifford C. Graves, Guy E. Lyman and Lawrence Mullaney. Verily the Class of 1919 has measured up to the highest ideals of manhood.—Blanchfield.

FATHER TIME has run.another lap and also the Class of 1920.

No more are we Junior Middlers; that is past, but the passing held triumphs for all and some of these triumphs should be committed to History. The class, represented by its members in every activity, has made itself strongly felt during the past year.

Athletics embraced our class-mates as did all social functions and scholarship records. In football Moylan, Rollins, Swentor and Judge all made creditable showings; Moylan being elected captain of next year's team while in basket-ball Swentor more than made good at center. The Glee Club had a goodly share of the class combing their hair, straightening their ties and eating "Life Savers" on the evening of March 9. In baseball Swentor represenis us behind the hat, while Moylan, Rumri11, Judge and Kissel] are sure of upholding the honor of the class in track. In the class room, Nelson, Hicks, Mayher, Lynch and Moylan, who "sharks" the algebra set forth so sharply by our friend Prof. Tibbets, are the shilling lights of the class.

Surely the Class of 1920 has been active in school affairs during the past year and for the present let it suffice to say that for the next two years we will do our utmost to uphold the traditions of Williston set so long ago by men so far our superiors.—Strunz.

The Junior Class

THE JUNIOR CLASS OF 1921 has certainly lived up to, if not surpassed, all records, bo:h in athletics and scholarship for many years past. Although we . may be considered the "Pee-Wees" of the school, we are sure to make an enviable record during the next three years, for in turn, we must take the place of the graduating Seniors.

In football we had two letter men ; "Lew" Smith and "Hoover" Murphy. Although none of our classmates played on the varsity basketball team, Bombard, O'Loughlin and "Grover" Cleveland did fine work in the "inter-dorm" games. On the diamond we were ably represented by Murphy at first and by O'Loughlin,.who distinguished himself as a heavy hitter. Cleveland is our track man and judging from what he says, he will win every meet without any assistance. "EV Smith is a wonder at tennis and will surely win his place on this year's team. Last, but not least, comes scholarship, and in the classrooms our star man Wall always gels "A", while Smith and Severance, his close rivals, received second honors in both the Fall and Winter Terms.

We Juniors all hope to be Junior Middlers before long and we are determined to carry with us, during our remaining years at Williston, the same school spirit which prevailed this year.—Severance.

THE record of the football teain ot is one that deserves great praise, especially since an entire new team was our gridiron representative. Soon after the opening of the Fall Term, Coach Denman had a promising squad to pick from and a fast team was quickly organized.

After the first game, which resulted in a complete 'victory over Holy Cross Seconds, the outlook was one of great favor. The next two games Saw the team at the smaller end of the score, but such victories as nineteen to nothing over. Dean, seven to nothing over Cushing and one hundred-three to nothing over Tufts Freshmen, showed that the only team that stood in the way of the New England Prep School Championship was our old rival Worcester. It was thus that during the week of November twelfth the entire school waited With eagerness for the coming event and it was thus, too, that the eleven put itself through hard practice. But when the Gold and Blue and the Red and Black faced each other, the unexpected 'happened and Williston was defeated fourteen to nothing.

The Basketball Team

Vatikethall

WITHOUT a doubt, the basketball team of IN T-18, under the competent leadership of "Mike" Dunn, passed through a most creditable season, winning six out of eight ..z ames.

With two victories over the Springfield College Seconds as a starter, the outlook for a successful year was indeed bright; but the team, handicapped by the loss of Jenkinson and Mitchell, lost the next two contests with Dartmouth Freshmen aid Wilbraham.

The team, after hard practice, soon recovered itself and ended the season in a blaze of glory by winning four decisive victories over Cushing, Wilbraham, Springfield College Seconds and Worcester.

Vatiphatt

LAST Spring Williston was represented by a fast, hard-working team. In addition to the live veterans of 1916, there was an abundance of talented material at hand and a speedy nine soon covered the diamond.

The season opened with six successive victories, Which were followed by two defeats at the hands of Cushing and Dean. However, the team gained, for the. first time in some years, a decisive victory over our old rivals, Worcester, by a score of six to two and this victory more than made up for the contests lost.

GREAT interest and enthusiasm was shown in inter-class sports during the year and many spirited contests took place. In the deciding football game, the Seniors easily triumphed over the confident Middle team, thereby winning the class football championship. During the winter months, interest was centered on the "dorm" and class basket-ball games, the "dorm" championship going to the Day students, while the Seniors were victorious in the class league.

TAKING up the work where the founders left it, and carrying it successfully through the second year of its existence, the Student Connell has played an important part in the school life, always keeping in mind its motto—to work for the best interests of Williston.

When it was decided to give to the Williston boys in the service the proceeds of the Glee Club Concert in the form of "Comfort Kits," the Council took charge of the selling of tickets and carried out its task in a very creditable manner. The ushers for the lecture course during the winter term were provided by the Council ; the athletic association was helped in nuinerous ways and the dances held in the gymnasium under the Council's management added greatly to the social life of the school.

It is hoped that in the years to come the Council, continuing to live up to the purpose for which it was founded, will meet with great success .

THAT Gamma Sigma has enjoyed an unusually successful year is proved by the sweeping victory she scored over Adelphi in the Annual Joint Debate. The contest was spirited, but at no time did the representatives of Adelphi have the advantage over Gamma Sigma, A large proportion of last year's members returned this year and formed a substantial nucleus around which to build up the excellent membership from the new men who entered school this fall. Some very able debaters have been developed from their numbers and next year is looked forward to with great expectations. The meetings have, as in previous years, been held on Friday evenings and have been well attended.

Gamma Sigma has an honorable record of which any society might well be proud, but we are not content to stand idle and point to past deeds, but hope that in the future we will maintain the high standard reached this year.

IfT was back in the year I hat a few of the Williston students, realizing the pressing need of a debating organization, formed the present society of Adelphi. All things need time to mature, and so it is that for over sixty years Adelphi has been maturing to her present high standing.

Last Fall saw several loyal Adelphians back and with them as a nucleus, a very Strong society was developed, but, sad to relate, this last winter witnessed the first defeat Adelphi has suffered at the hands of Gamma Sigma in many years. But of course if Adelphi always won, all the excitement would die down, so every once in a .while she doesn't bother to win.

After noting Adelphi's past history it is with no feeling of anxiety, but rather with one of expectation that we look forward to the future.

THIS month completes the 3Gth year of the Willistonian ; making it one of the oldest and, we believe, one of the best weekly preparatory school papers in the country.

It has always been the aim of the Willistonian to render an account of all the events of our school life, to maintain the school spirit at its height, to keep in close touch with the alumni and to present to the students the opportunity for valuable literary training.

The past year has been a most successful one both from a literary and financial standpoint. The success is due to the students alone; to those who gave their time and talent, to those who loyally supported it and for these reasons the high standard maintained is all the more noteworthy.

Written/or the Semi-Centennial in 1891 by Irving Bruce, claim 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 grace 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.

We'll give a long cheer for "Cap" Knight'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.

Rah! Rah! Rah! For dear old Williston, Rah! Rah! Rah! For dear old Williston, Rah! Rah! Rah! For dear old Williston, Hurrah for the Gold and Blue.

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!

HIT THE LINE

Williston is e'er victorious

The action of potassium iodide on sulphu.r is expressed: KI plus 2S equals KISS. We've heard that the action takes place best in the absence of light, and is generally accompanied by a small crackling noise, probably caused by the formation of H 2 0 about the points of contact.

The three Latin verbs that constitute the students' course in that language are "fecit","gessit" and "missit."

DON'T YOU FEEL THAT THE WORLD'S BUILT WRONG?

When, in the Exam. room, the fellow next to you has a rubber neck, And stretches it ever and anon to look at your paper, And you tell him to look in another direction, But he seems to like your paper better than any other fellow's, And you call him stupid, And tell him he ought to be ashamed of himself if he could not pass that easy exam without copying, But he doesn't mind you and continues to glance at your paper, And later, when the marks are read, you find out that you got 70 and he 85!

Don't you feel it's all wrong—this old world?

"Buck"—Do horses bray? Haughty Senior—Neigh, neigh, my child.

Professor—Parse "Kiss".

Student—Kiss is a noun, generally used as a conjunction. It is never declined. It is not singular and is usually used in the plural. It agrees with "me". It is more common than "proper".

Sung to the Tune: "I Got More Than My Share"

God gives the teacher his wisdom; The teacher gives us the exam;

. But I never studied, And I never worried; never knew just how to tram. I thought that I was a goner;— The exam was a stiff, hard affair; But God thought of me too,— When I got sixty-two, I know I got more than my share!

iltuIrti for

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.
