THE WILLISTON LOG

Foreword

For the past eighteen years the Senior Class of Williston has published a record of their own and the school's accounts. The "Log," as the publication is called, has always been favorably received, and we hope that the 1919 "Log" is worthy of the same reception, and of its predecessors. We have spent much time and thought upon it, in order to make it what it should be, a real memento of the school. Overlook and petty faults, and see in the "Log," not itself, but for what it stands.—The Board.

To Prof. Johnston and to him alone, the credit and praise is due for the complete success of the Glee Club concert.

THE WILLISTON LOG Faculty

DCTOR JOSEPH HENRY SAWYER was a graduate of the class of 1865 at Amherst, where he received the A. B. degree. From Amherst he also received his A. M., in 1808 and the degree of L. H. D. in 1902. He is a member of the Phi Beta, Kappa (Mass. Sigma) and the Alpha Delta Phi (Amherst Chap - ter) fraternities.

In 1888, he was ordained clergyman. He has been elected a member of the following associations: Hampshire Association of Congregational Ministers; Connecticut Valley Congregational Club; New England Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools; Headmasters' Association of the United States.

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 "Frustees.

He takes an active interest in local affairs and is President of the • 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 adore him, but also hold , him in respectful esteem as they pass into the broader paths of life?

THE WILLISTON LOG

IN the fall of 1915 when the class of 1919 first entered Williston's portals, considerable comment was aroused as to how much 1919 would eclipse all other classes. Now in June, 1919, considerable comment is aroused over the realization of this prophecy.

The Senior Class has truly held up the traditions of Williston, taking the major part in all of the activities of the school. The character of the class is well portrayed in that twenty--seven of our number entered the service of Uncle Sam, and that one, Leo Martin Hannan, has paid the supreme sacrifice. To keep faith with him and with them has been the ambition of 1919, to become honorable, loyal, trustworthy men.

In this endeavor we should never have succeeded but for the guidance of Dr. Sawyer, and the teachers. To them and to Williston we owe a debt we can never hope to repay, for their kindness, patience, and forbearance. They have been our friends as well as our teachers. We part from them with profound regret, and leave to travel the road of life, made easier for us by them,

One is a bust of President 'Wilson and the other a relief entitled "The Spirit of 1917." Both are particularly fitting at this time, since President Wilson has gained his great point of democracy through the spirit of 1917.

Musical Club

, In accordance with the usual custom the musical clubs of Williston gave an annual Glee Club concert. This year the concert was given in the form of an original "pot-pourri" by Sergt. A. E. Graham. This novel concert was a decided success.

To much credit cannot be given to Prof. JoHnston, who had charge of the Glee Club, for the fine performance. The orchestra, under Barnes' leadership, is claimed to be the best Williston ever had.

FFRIENDS, teachers, schoolmates, lend me your cars; I come to sing the expoits of the Class of 1920. Among our number all are honorable men, many and ambitious, who hail from Panama, Louisiana, and—Holyoke, Massachusetts.

Our ambition to be students , has met with success. "Ned" Lynch, whose worth is not measured by inches, and "Fritz" Schwerin are unexcelled as mathematicians. There's "Joe" Russo, who knows ancient history from A to Z, while Ullman's chief forte is in writing short compositions. And then again the wonderful forensic power of Chester Glenn, whose oratorical abilities have shaken the foundations of Payson Church, is well known to us all.

In athletics we are the premier class of the school. Those who have won the coveted "W" in football include Captain "Neal" Moylan, Bader and "Bud" Strait. Basketball attracted among our number Westervelt and Reidy; tennis boasts of Capt. Rumrill and Strait, both Middlers ; track claims Dorr Lewis and Johnny Corsa, who trotted over from Amherst with his mile and his smile. In baseball "Howie" Shea and Thomas McGrath O'Brien are able representatives of our class. But here let me mention the most notable of the Holyoke contingent, "Scribe" Mahoney, who sits high in all his classmates' hearts.

Have patience,'dear readers; I must not write longer. But so gentle is our life, and the elements so mix'd in us that our teachers might stand up and say to all the world,"This was a class!"

The Junior Middle Class

ANOTHER momentous year has passed, and the Class of 1921 has completed the second year of its four years' course. So it is fitting that this class should give an account of its adivities and achievements which it has occupied itself with in the past year.

In football we had two letter men, Clark and Dale. Although only one, Bombard, played on the varsity basketball team he waR wel) able to represent his class, for he played a stellar game in all contests and was elected captain for next year's team. In baseball our honor was upheld by "Howie" Shea, Vincent Bombard and John O'Loughlin, all outfielders. In track Midge Miller and Clark distinguished themselves.

We are no less honored in recitation room than in athletics, for our class is blessed with Wall, who received first honors, Judd, whose French is superb, and by Severance and Smith, who receive second honors. As wielders of pen and ink are Wall and Smtih, who hold the two highest positions on the Willistonian.

As this is but our second year the best is yet to come, for as we expand in maturity our activities and accomplishments shall be opened to a wide era.—Smith.

The Junior Class

0..1.: bright September morning, when the bell in South Hall tower rang for the first time in the school year of 1918-19, a group of Juniors stood anxiously awaiting the time when they should enter historic old Williston. When they first met as a class in 30 North Hall for an hour devoted to Mathematics, little did they know what shining lights were among them.

Toward the close of the Fall term the "flu" was very popular with the class, and we were saddened by the death of one of our most respected members, Conrad Styczynski.

The class has not only been studious, but some of its members have been- active in class athletics. The Junior team, thanks to the crack shot of Lyman, twice defeated the Middlers in basketball. We have also had a part in school teams, furnishing Monahan for basketball and baseball and "Shorty" Waterous for sub quarter-back in football and sub in baseball.

During the Winter and Spring terms, the members of the Junior class have been active in both the orchestra and glee club. Some have joined the literary societies and have shown their ability as debaters.

Thus, as June draws near, the class of 1922 looks back over its first year at Williston with much pleasure and looks forward with the hope that it may be as successful as some of its predecessors and make its mark in the history of Williston.—Kienle.

The Gym

Football

Pi,IIE team of 1918 has had many difficulties to face. In the first 1 place only light material was available and then they had no second team to play against to get in practice. On account of the "flu" most of the games were cancelled and it was hard for them ta practice faithfully with no games in sight,—for same time at least. However,the team was gritty and all nerve if not heavy. When they met the Y. M. C. A. Seconds they showed they could play, in spite of adverse circumstances, and easily made three touchdowns. However,in the Worcester game strength and weight prevailed, and they were defeated. The final game, played on a wet and slippery field, resulted in a tie, although Cushing's goal was near many times.

The team this year owes much of its success to Captain "Neal" Moylan and "Eddie" Schlesinger, for it was they who steadied the new players on the line and enabled the team to cross Worcester's goal twice.

Basketball

1)ROSPECTS looked bad for a good basket-ball team at the begin' ning of the season. At that time there was only one regular back from last year's team, and two other- men who were on the squad last year.

•However, after Christmas the whole school was rejoicing, for "Eddie" Stiles and Jenkinson had both returned. Things now began to appear brighter and it looked as if we were to have a championship team.

The team started off in fine shape, winning the first five games. However,down at Cushing the team was destined to lose and also the next game with the Y. M. C. A. College seconds. Then after picking up and winning the next game the last one went to our bitter rival, Worcester.

On the whole it was a very successful season and much credit is due to Captain "Eddie" Stiles.

THIS year has been a most successful year for baseball. Plenty of new material showed up, together with some stars of last year's team, and a fine nine was chosen. The team showed its wor.th and ability by defeating the fast Cushing Academy team, Williams Freshmen and Worcester Academy; but the team met defeat at the hands of the Suffield School and Dean Academy.

The Track Team

THE WILLISTON LOG Track

I1! the prospects of a successful track season depended on the material at hand at the opening of school, there would indeed have been little hope for a winning team last year, the majority of the years' before point winners having graduated But through constant training in the Fall term, several likely looking candidates were developed. In the Yale Interscholastic Meet we won fourth place in the 100 yards dash, and at the Brown Meet we took 17 points and secured third place among all the schools competing. The team participated in a number of important meets, making an excellent showing in each. On the whole the season was .a suecessful one, and high commendation is due to team, captain, and coach.

The Student Council

Tke Student Council

TT-IE Student Council has had a very successful year. They began their work this year by putting through very creditably • their annual "Pow wow" in the "gm."

They have assisted in various ways during the school year the athletic association and always given the best they had for Williston.

To end up the year properly the Student Council gave a dance in the "gym." This was carried off very smoothly and was a success from beginning to end.

The Student Council has become a more and more important factor, here at Williston, each succeeding year. Much good can come from this, and we hope it will always be in the hands of the most competent men in school.

Adelphi Society

A delfiki

ADELPHI entered upon the sixty.-seventh year of her activities with a fairly large enrollment. It has ever been the purpose of this .ociety to give inspiration, self-control and oratorical excellence to her members. This she has done most successfully in the past, and still continues to do. Former members, on their return, say that Adelphi was one of the most important phases of Williston life to them, and but for their training within her walls they should have been harp'pered in their work.

Each year a joint debate is held with Gamma Sigma. Adelphi was the victor this year in a well-fought contest. This offsets her loss last year and puts her ahead in the race for the Cup, which is offered by the F. C. fraternity.

Williston Hymns

Writtenfor the Semi-Centennial in 1831 by 1rring Bruce, class of 1878

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 Eccleslic. That, where'er our welfare 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!

My love for you Will ever be So staunch, so true. I love youi 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.

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,

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 for 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.

Ring out, ring out, old South I I all bell, Let Alma Mater's triumph tell

To those who love your name so well, Williston, my Williston.
