LONG will the day be remembered and recorded in the annals of great events when the class of '20 dawned on this world. Proud was our Alma Mater when it gladdened her sight, and well might she exult over its advent.
Four long years have we been together, and now that the time has come for us to say our "adieus" to Williston, we all realize that the time has been very much too short. The enjoyments Williston affords we have. enjoyed ; and through the mental training and uplift she gives we have Profited. The goal toward which we have striven is in sight, and Ihough we glory in our attainment, we sorrow because it means the everanee of our student relations with Williston.
Glorious are the achievements of our ranks; long will they be re.membered. Capt. Backofen of the football team has the honorable distinction of being the first man in the history of the school to lead any athletic team for three years. We also contributed such men as Moylan, Fulner, Wehner, Bourque, Samuel, Powell, and Latta to the football team; Latta and O'Brien to the basketball team; Powell, Latta and Billings to the baseball team.
Not only do we excel on the field but also in the class-rooms. The names of Moylan, Glenn, Weinberg, Meade, and Schwerin wil: long be held up to succeeding classes as models of perfection.
But in years to come, when we look back over our days spent at Williston, what we have accomplished, singly and together, and the friendships we have made will be to us the most dear. Chiefly do we regret the separation from our instructors, our associations with them having ever been most pleasant.
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.

Class Gift
ri" HE class of 1920 departs somewhat from the custom of its predecessors in the presentation of a class gift to the school. Heretofore, classes had presented the school with a piece of statuary, but the class of 1920, realizing the need of a suitable flag, presents to the school a large silk American flag. This is a fitting gift, as many of the members of the class served during the world war, and the class as a whole is imbued with the national spirit.

NOTHER year has passed, and we Middlerg of yesterday look forward with eagerness to tomorrow, when we shall be Seniors. looking back over that short space of time from September to June—for it does scem short now—we can take pride in the achievements of the class as a whole. I say "class as a whole" because we had no individuals who starred in every sport. The members of the class were interested in every organization in school and on that account all were actively engaged.
Football was taken up by Graves, Miller, Eastwick, Sheldon, Clifford, and Clement, all of whom won their letters. Knox, Sheldon, and Sullivan were members of the varsity basketball team, Knox being elected next year's captain. In track Severance, Holmes, and Clifford daily circled the Sawyer Field oval, while in baseball we comprise a large part of the varsity, as Sheldon, Jones, Sullivan, O'Loughlin, Clement, and Van Nuys have won their places on the team. Lastly in tennis "Eb" Smith and Hartmann continue to win against all opponents.
But do not think we are a class of athletes. Not in the least, as members of the faculty will gladly, and perhaps sadly, affirm. Without mentioning Lynch, who daily grinds out Prof. Tibbets' reviews, and Judd, who manages to stay around the first-honor men. Robbins, too, is usually around ninety: These with Mayher, Briggs, Smith, and Gove, who though not as steady as the first mentioned, still has times of brilliance, hold the scholarship honors for the class.
In the various entertainments given during the year a large portion of the class participated. Several also spoke in the various contests held during this year. In all we are well satisfied with our record. Our only hope is to better it next year, when we shall be Seniors.

Williston Log
IT was with the sincerest appreciation that the school presented .to Miss Loomis on April — a very slight token of its gratitude for her faithful service of eight years at Williston. During the term of her secretaryship this lady introduced into her relations with the students a most sympathetic purpose to aid "her boys" in every way which lay within her kindly power. The achievement of her purpose left its effects on the hearts of many a Williston boy, who now is happy to tender his thanks for her sweet services.

Miss Serafili M.Loomis
THE Junior Class of 1919 with a few additions has completed its second year at Williston, and are now full-fledged JuniorMiddlers.
The class as a whole maintained its high scholarship rank that it was noted for during its existence as the "bucks" of the school. We were well represented on the honor roll as Shaw, Senktacken, Kienle, "Bill" Roberts of Naugatuck fame and "Bob" Smith received second honors in their subjects.
"Joe" Crawley and "Eddie" Magner did their best to keep us, as a class, well informed about the girls of Easthampton. It is tho consensus of opinion that they attained their ends to perfection.
"Bob" Smith repeated his performance of his Junior year by representing us on the varsity football team and track. He was also Captain and centerfielder of the baseball team. "Bill" Senstacken was the only other Junior-Middler to make his letter. "Billie" Roberts was Captain of our class basketball team, which won the school championship after a hard game with the high-browed Seniors. With the same spirit we hope to do better next year.

Ex—Service Men
WHILE the war was in progress there was little thought in the minds of those Williston students who left their studies to shoulder arms against the Germans whether they would ever return again or not. At the conclusion of the war in 1918 many former Williston boys found their way back to Easthampton and enrolled for the remainder of the year. Many of them saw service overseas.
When school opened last :September the boys in the picture above enrolled. It is interesting to note that eight in the picture returned after an absence since 1917 when war was first declared. Nearly all of these eight men saw considerable service both at home and abroad. Since their return to Williston this year they have been leaders in every school activity, and have done much to put Williston among the leading "prep" schools of New England. Our football team was composed largely of service men, as was our basketball team. On our baseball team there are four men with service records Our Glee Club quartet was made up entirely of ex-soldiers, and the Willistonian has been edited by a wearer of the 0. D. The first, fifth, twenty-seventh and other divisions are represented in school this year.
Many of the men are honor men in their studies and are to enter college next September. Williston is doing much for her returned soldiers, and it is hoped that they in return will repay Williston by their good records in college.
The Junior Class
AUSPICIOUSLY starting our first year at the old school as one of the largest classes ever entered we have striven to make our record as exceptional as it started out to be.
Our members have shown an alarming tendency to mix right in. No team was complete without at least one candidate from the Junior class being present. The Adelphi and Gamma Sigma meetings have been thickly populated with future orators from our ranks. Many of the Glee Club's song birds were recruited from among us. Even the honor men cannot escape us; some of our members can look interested when the Principal says, "The following are the names of the first honors."
Our sister republics of the south have done their share and the proud Castilian is no strange sight on the campus of today. Almost before the members were acquainted the class was organized. Frederick E. Chapman was elected president, William F. Cartmill vice-president, Frank Buckley treasurer and Sylvester Chartier secretary.

Football
THE record of the 1919 football team will long be remembered bv Williston men. With eight veterans of former squads as a nucleus, Coach Denman turned out a team which made football history by beating Worcester and thus clinching the "prep" school championship. In the first game the Worcester Trade School was overwhelmingly defeated by the Gold and Blue, and the M. A. C. Short Course men took the same dose. In the Y. M. C. A. Seconds and Cushing games, several men being badly crippled, our eleven came out on the small end of the scores. However, the Dean And M. A. C. Freshmen games furnished two more victories to our credit. The season ended in a blaze of glory, when the Worcester team went down to defeat in one of the best and most sportsmanlike contests ever played on Sawyer Field, and thus, for the 'first time in nine years, Williston conquered her dearest rivals.

Basketball
STANDING head and foremost above every "prep" school hoop shooting five in New England is the Williston team of 1920, the valley champions. This team downed its three greatest rivals, Dean, Cushing and Worcester, the game with Cushing being of the hairraising variety, requiring five minutes of overtime playing before Williston came out on the long end of the score. Had Captain O'Brien played in the three games lost, the team would undoubtedly have had a clean slate.
Knox, because of his brilliant work, deserves especial mention, as his work was nothing short of phenomenal. He was in a class by himself, and together with Captain O'Brien, formed the best pair of school forwards in New England. In the Dean game, a laughable incident occurred. The Dean team, being aware of the prowess of Knox, had both their guards watch him, and neglected O'Brien. By the rapi'd succession with which the latter dropped in twin counters, the Dean five soon realized to their utter consternation and amazement, that they had two men instead of one, to keep from scoring, a task which was too much for their bewildered senses.
The defensive work of the team was always of a steady calibre, and was no mean instrument in keeping down opponents scores.

The Hockey Team Hockey
THIS year marked the resumption of Hockey as a school sport, under the able coaching of Mr.Galbraith. The almostperpetuallv falling snow covered the rink in such a manner as to make Hockey (ntirely out of the question. This resulted in the cancellation of all games with the exception of one played with the Y. M. C. A. College Seconds, and which Williston won, 3-2.

The 1919 Baseball Team

Baseball
THE season of 1919 was a very successful one. Williston's fielding and hitting led the schools of the valley in the percentage column, and several of the team were rated on the mythical all-valley high and "prep" school team. The team seemed to run into hard luck the latter part of the season, losing to Worcester and Easthampton through errors. However, Dean Academy was taken in tow and the speedy Stevens Institute, a college team, of Hoboken, N. J., was held to a 1-0 victory. The team annexed seven out of ten starts.

The 1919 Track Team
Track
\VING to the scarcity of track material, due in a large measure to war-time conditions, the track meets of last spring were not onderfully successful. Nevertheless, the representatives of this sport deserve commendation for the amount of true effort thy put into their work. In the M. A. C. interscholastic meet the Gold and flue won second place, but in the dual meet with Worcester we were forced to bow to our rivals.
Kennedy Meet
The annual Kennedy Track Meet for the Kennedy medals was held Wednesday, May 28th, 1919. The meet was very successful, though no records were broken, for quite a few fellows turned out to participate in the various events. Monahan was the high scorer of the meet, making twenty-five points. To him was awarded the individual medal. The Senior Class won the greatest number of points in the class competition with forty-five points. The Middlers were second with thirty-five, the Juniors third with thirty-two, and the Junior-Middlers last with four.
The officials were as follows: Referee and starter, Coach Denman; field judges, Professors Hero and Knowles; judges at finish, Professors Hero and Knowles; timers, Professors Hicks and Cunningham. The announcer was Sidney Doyle and John Mayher wa, t scorer.

The 1919 Tennis Team
ALTHOUGH the Tennis team played but three matches, two of these were victories. For the first time since Tennis has been played between the two schools, Williston defeated Worcster by four matches to two. This contest was very close, the result being in doubt until the last stroke had been played. The first match of the season was with the Springfield Y. M. C. A. College Second team and was a victory for Williston by the score of five sets to one. The next niatch was played with the Northampton Country Club. Here Williston encountered a stiff resistance and was defeated four to two. 'che steady playing of Hartmann and Smith featured throughout the season.
Those to whom Tennis W's were awarded were: Smith, Hartmann, etc.

Williston Hymn
Written for the Semi-Centennial in 1891 by Irving 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 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 homage yield to Thee; Minding still her ancient watchword, Christo et Ecclesix. That, where'er her warfare lead us, Though the battle bear us down, And we win no wreath 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.
SAMMY
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

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 \ I 10A! 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.
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.

Fulner's Favorite Motto: Seconds all around.
Where can a man buy a cap for his knee, Or a key for a lock of his hair?
Can his eyes be called an academy Because there are pupils there?
In the crown of his head, what gems are found? Who travels the bridge of his nose?
Can he use when shingling the roof of his mouth The nails in the ends of his toes?
Can the crook of his elbow be sent to jail? And if so, what did he do?
How does he sharpen his shoulder-blades? I'll be hanged if I know; do you?
—T. G. C.
