E, the Board of this, The 19:22 Log, in assembling the material for your perusal in this volume, have found it necessary to discard a great many of the interesting things that have happened during the school year. We have been loath to do this, for we realize that The Log is the chronicle of events between September and June, but the limited extent of our time and space have made the step necessary. To make up for this, we have endeavored to portray the most important and interesting side of school life and activities, and we hope that you will read with pleasure and appreciation the contents of this,

Williston Log
composite picture of the Class of 1922 would show with what interest we have taken to our studies, with what success we have entered athletics, and with what loyalty we have served our school in all its varied activities.
Small as we were when we entered Williston, our presence has been more ard more felt as the .year 1922 drew nearer and nearer. The high scholastic standard has been upheld by such members of the class as Shaw, Nelson, Ganahl, and Kienle. We have been represented on the gridiron by Captain Galbraith, Lane, Putney, and Mohor ; in basketball by Armitage; on the diamond by Armitage; and in. track by Duncan, Low, and Outterson. We have a fine representation in the Glee Club, the "Y", and the two debating societies, Adelphi and Gamma Sigma. In all that we have done to better ourselves mentally and physically, and to reach our various objectives, we have been advised and encouraged by the faculty. We hope that in later life we may partially repay their hard work by success that will be a credit and an honor to our school. We do feel, however, that no matter how far our class goes in the world it will always be remembered in Williston, and in turn will always remember and cherish Williston.

Chosen by the Class to present the Class Gift—Andrew Philip Hartmann Jr.
We of the Class of 1922 present as a memorable and useful gift a beautiful etching of Rheims Cathedral.
This stately cathedral was undoubtedly one of the most imposing structures of architectural beauty in existence. In 1914 when the great guns of the Germans ruthlessly wrought destruction, Rheims Cathedral served as one of their unwarranted targets.
It was during this bombardment that a renowned American artist, Lewis Orr, was authorized by the French Government to make the etching. It is needless to say how invaluable this work is and what great significance it represents. We therefore considcr it a most worthy gift for our presentation.

jI,,,.... T was said last year that the 1921 Prom would never be surpassed. How short a time it has been since that statement was made, and yet in that one short year the seemingly impossible has been done, as all who had the pleasure of attending the 1921 and 1922 Proms will declare.
The Williams College Orchestra, led by Harry Leudeke, was engaged, and such music was never before heard in Ye Olde Towne Halle. The decorations were extremely effective, and as for the young ladies, they speak for themselves—always.

—Chips of Jade.
HEN the Middle Class entered Williston three years ago, it had a limited vision even as the frog in the Chinese proverb. but unlike the amphibian its horizon has broadened with each successive year. The Middle Class has just completed a glorious year with its members active in every branch of sport and activity in the school. It is a splendid record.
The niost prominent men of the class who have been active in two or more sports are Mayher, Whitham, •Strong, Pike, Wright, and Bouteiller. Mayher won his "W" in football, made a hit in Dramatics as a red headed wash woman, and was on the baseball team. "Hep" makes a strong bid for the athletic honors of the class as he was Captain of the basketball team, ran on the track team, and is captain-elect of next year's football team. Whitham was the editor-in-chief of the Willistonian, secretary of the Student Council, a member of the Y. M. C. A. cabinet, vice-president of Adelphi, and active in Dramatics. In the Spring term he wrote a one-act play,"The Quarry," given by the Dramatic Club. Wright was president of the Student Council, president of the Y. M. C. A. cabinet and an honor man. Pike excelled on the stage as well as on the gridiron and is one of the best liked men of the class. Bouteiller was active in athletics and played on the football, basketball and baseball teams,

OW - AST year when the Class of 1924 gathered in front of 34 North Hall
Ir for their first recitation, they were merely a group of "striplings," but now they present a very different appearance. their class is noted chiefly for its athletes. The football team was largely composed of men from our class: "Jack" Starrett, "Bentley" Lewandowski, "Herb" Telfeyan, "Jerry" Meade and "Hank" Barrett. M eade also starred on the basketball team, while our noted track and cross-country runner is "Bud" Kilner. This Spring we are looking forward to seeing "Pat" Landers and "Bill" Morrissey shine on the diamond.
Next in line, we have a few sharks. There is Wells, our Algebra shark, who Stands high in the esteem of Mr. Tibbets, and Lyman, our Latin and English shark. "Jerry" Meade, and Warner, the class grind, rank high in all their subjects. .
Note the progress we have made in the past year, then just imagine what we'll be when we're Seniors.

f u AbAii O f famous nyears i Willistonhas hasproduced. dubceeedn lt t ote,dil lmaintains for i ts hight that t i scholarship h and scholarship the en t and is producing men who in time will become famous. If there ever was or ever will be a class that will hold high those good old qualities, it is the Junior Class, the Class of 1925.
When we came here, all of us were "bucks," and did not amount to much in the eyes of the upperclassmen, who classed us as "just youngsters." We were, therefore, held down by them as much as possible until after the Worcester game, when we were given full privileges. It was then that we began to show what we were made of.
We were told that the debating societies were not as strong as they once were, and that they needed new blood. The call was heeded, and the meetings of both Adelphi and Gamma Sigma now have a strong representation of Junior men.
It was soon noticed that every man of us was full of "pep" and energy, and wanted to boost the school. Oftimes it happens that fellows having so much "pep" are low in their studies, but such was not the case in our class, for of the first honor students, two were Juniors; in "second honors" we had three; and out of the ten highest in the school we were represented by two. We may be only Juniors now, but at the rate we are going the graduating class of 1925 will be a class that Williston can be proud of.

HE 1921 football season opened with seemingly excellent prospects. Six of the men of the 1920 squad were to return. They were Captainelect Chartier, a good end, Starrett and Galbraith, husky guards, Jancey, another good end, Telfeyan, substitute center, and Strong, a substitute end. Besides there were several good men from the last year's second team, and much promising material among the new men.
None of the new men had had any real experience except W. Johnson, who had played an end, so it was necessary to develop an entirely new set of backs.
Captain-elect Chartier did not return to school, and F. W. Galbraith III was elected in his stead.
In the first game of the season Williston had its strongest line-up of the year, and if it could have been kept the same the school would have made a much better showing. W. Johnson, who was playing a wonderful game at halfback, broke his ankle in this game. A few days later, Jancey left school to enter Fordham College. A general reorganization of the team was necessary and just as things were beginning to run smoothly, Lewandowski, a wonderful punter and a strong fullback, broke his collarbone and was out for the rest.of the season. This meant another reorganization and we found ourselves with an extraordinarily light backfield.
In spite of all this hard luck the team never lost heart and fought gamely, but was not successful in winning games. The team was simply outclassed not as individuals but as a machine. The summary of the scores is rather discouraging, but the amount of experience gained and the fine spirit shown will be a great asset next year.

Afew days after the Thanksgiving recess the call for basketball candidates was sent out and about thirty men reported. Among them was Captain Strong, Macaulay and Armitage of last year's squad. After a week's drill Coach Denman divided the squad into two divisions and took charge of the fifteen most promising men. Mr. Hance took those that were left and started shaping up a second team. The squads practiced diligently and when the Christmas vacation came the weeding out process was well under way.
The first team was picked out shortly after the opening of the Winter term. They had a misfortune in the loss of I3outeiller, who broke his shoulder in one of the early scrimmages. His shoulder mended, however, during the Christmas holidays and he played a very creditable game at forward all season.
The season started off with a defeat at the hands.of the Springfield College Freshmen on the first Saturday of the Winter term. The schedule did not open up as well as it might have, but toward the middle of it the team found itself and started to play real basketball. They won from our great rival, Worcester Academy, in an exciting game, by the score of 19-18.
Mr. Hance turned out a very good second team and they decisively defeated the town high school team in their only game. He also managed Inter-Class and Fraternity games which afforded the students a great deal of amusement. The Seniors won the Class games, but an epidemic of grippe prevented the fraternities from finishing out their series. The students took a very keen interest in basketball this year and the games were well attended.

HE tale of our 1921 baseball season is a sad one, but it is not so surprising when the circumstances are known. Coach Denman started the schedule with only two players of the year before to build his team around: O'Loughlin and Clark. Jones, who had been elected captain, did not return to school, and O'Loughlin was elected in his place. Russler, a good hitter, and a pitcher of no mean ability, broke his leg in one of the first practice games. About a week later, Magner, one of the first string pitchers, developed blood poisoning and had to stay out of the game the rest of the season. Soon after that, Captain O'Loughlin broke his ankle and was unable to play again. Heydt took O'Loughlin's place, played well all season and starred in the Worcester game. Our last misfortune was the loss of Payne, a fine outfielder and excellent hitter, who contracted appendicitis and had to undergo an operation. These untimely injuries, together with an almost entirely green lot of material, are a good explanation of such a bad season.
In spite of all this hard luck the game with Worcester was very exciting, the last inning starting with a tie score. Only exceptionally good fielding on the part of the Worcester third baseman prevented Williston from overcoming the two run lead that its opponents gained in that inning.'
A second squad practised daily under the coaching of Mr. Stevenson. A few outside games were played in order to give these men experience in actual contests, and from this squad we hope to get some good material in the future.

HE 1921 track squad was coached by Mr. Gerrish, a former Dartmouth Cross Country runner. Mr. Gerrish turned out a championship Cross Country team in the fall, but was not as successful with Spring Track owing to the lack of available material: and to the fact that the Winter season was not properly used for practice because the majority of the track men took up other forms of exercise during that time.
Although the Springfield College Interscholastic Meet was won by the team, it was composed largely of events not included in out of door meets. The Senior Prom came the night before the M. A. C. Meet and, this was disastrous to a good showing. In the Trinity and Brown Interscholastic Meets only a few points were scored. In the annual dual meet with Worcester Academy, Williston was outclassed and defeated by a large score.
Captain Severance worked conscientiously to get more men out for track, but many good men preferred baseball or tennis. We hope that the 1922 season will show greater and more continuous interest in this branch of athletics, and this, coupled with careful and painstaking coaching is sure to bring success.
The cross country squad started off last fall with about twenty-five men under the coaching of Mr. Moore of Springfield College. Captain Sullivan, Sitterley, Duncan, and Kilner of last year's championship team were back at school and the prospects for a successful season looked bright. We suffered an unlooked for misfortune, however, in the loss of Captain Sullivan, who was troubled with fallen arches and had to drop out of the running, but Kilner was appointed acting captain and the practice went on as usual. That we were not disappointed in our hopes for a successful season the following schedule will show. At the Yale Interscholastic Meet, in which about twenty high and prep schools were represented, we took first place. At the Rensselaer Interscholastic Meet we took second place against a hotly contested field. Numerous other victories were added to our credit, and our only defeats were suffered at the hands of the Springfield College Freshmen, the Springfield College Second Team and our old rival, Worcester.

Our hockey season started in the early part of the winter under the coaching of Mr. Galbraith. The winter allowed a few practices toward the end of the Fall Term and when we returned after the Christmas recess the squad was pretty well sorted out. Captain Hartmann at center and Pitcher at goal, both of last year's team, played a creditable game all season. Of the new men, Mohor, a former Newton High star, made a very good showing.
Weather conditions held up the schedule somewhat but in spite of this hindrance the team had a fairly successful season, winning four out of six games. A great deal of interest was shown in the sport and about twenty-five men reported for the first practice. A few of them dropped out and after the schedule was finished eight of them were awarded "W's" with crossed sticks. Quite a few of the other men selected skating for their Winter exercise and Williston Pond was crowded every afternoon.

HE success of the 1921 tennis season was very gratifying and commendable. Three men of the ycar before were back at school, including Captain Hartmann and Ex-Captain Smith. These two men had played together for three consecutive years and they went through the entire season without being defeated. The other members of the team were Slack, Gilman and F. W. Galbraith III, all good tennis players of long experience.
In the last three contests, including the Worcester contest, the team won all of its six matches, and among other victories we have to our credit the decisive defeat of the Northampton Country Club for the first time. It was the most successful tennis season that the school has ever had, for besides winning all of their regular matches they took second place in the Yale Interscholastic Tennis Meet.
Interest in tennis as a sport has greatly increased, which is shown by the fact that more than fifty fellows were out for it. The trustees have realized that eight courts were not enough, and four new oncs will be ready for this season.

HEN the first semblance of a Student Ccuncil appeared in this school, it appeared in the form of an inter-fraternity council, one which had the power to settle and remark only upon business which passed between the different fraternities, and one which was composed of two members of each fraternity. Later this group came to possess more power and to be known as the Student Council, although it was still made up of two members of each fraternity. Of late' years the faculty had come to practically disregard this Council entirely, and to curtail its power, for they felt, and felt rightly, that it was not representative of the school.
In view of this, that Council was abolished by its own unanimous vote and a new Council has been formed which is fully representative of the minor things as well as of the major things in the school, and which is worthy of the name "Student Council." It is this Council that you see here, and we hope that it and its succeeding Councils will fulfill our expectations.

ROFESSOR Laurence J. Smith, formerly our dramatic coach did not return to Williston this year, but he has a worthy successor in Professor Howard G. Boardman.
The excellent work which Mr. Smith started two years ago has been carried on this year with a zest and has proved equally successful.
Three one-act plays were presented in the Fall Term, namely: "Who Kissed Barbara?"; "The Highland Legacy"; and "The Boob", which were received with enthusiasm by the audience of students and town people in the Payson Parish House.
"Jane," the principal show of the year, was given on February 24, in the Town Hall, which was almost filled by the audience. It was a great successs, and the members of the Dramatic Club have every right to be highly pleased with the year's work.

CI iE Williston Radio Club was organized in 1920 under the direction 1 of Professor Cook to give students who were interested in electricity and radio an opportunity to become more efficient in the art
Although the number of members who know wireless have been comparatively few, progress has been made in the installation of apparatus to transmit and receive messages.
In 1921 a license to operate a transmitting set was obtained by Philip Wainwright '23, and a synehronus spark was installed in the station. The results obtained, from this set have been very satisfactory, communications with parties as far distant as six hundred miles having been carried on. The receiving set consists of a Chicago Laboratory regenerative tuner with audion detector. During the winter the broadcasts from Westinghouse Radio stations were received.
Eventually the club will install a radio telephone set in order to be able to talk with the stations at the various schools and colleges in the Connecticut Valley.
The officers of the school are as follows:
Philip Wainwright--President
Kenneth Shaw—Vice-President
Prof. M. J. Cook—Treasurer

I I E Willistonian was infused with new blood this year and set a high standard for academic weeklies. The editorial board which was elected in September served for the entire scholastic year.
The first change the paper underwent was the breaking up of the dull uniformity of the front sheet; a double column heading featuring the event of the week was used, many cuts brightened the Paper, and a snappy, newsy style was preserved throughout.
Two new departments were added—the Campus Canary, a column of breezy chatter, and At the Foot of Parnasus, the poet's corner.
The editorials were praised in the exchange columns of our contemporaries. The entire board is to be congratulated on its achievement, especially Mr. Godfrey.

ALTHOUGH the year which has just passed has not been one of crowning honors in the way of competition, still it has been one which every member of the society has a right to be proud of. Although the debating team bowed to the Gamma Sigma team, still it was one of the best debates held in Williston in a good many years and was a hard earned victory for the winner. Beginning the year with small numbers, through the efforts and conscientious work of some of the older members, the attendance and membership have grown considerably and some really good debates were held.
It Was especially noticeable throughout the year that the mainstay of the society lay in the Junior Class. Although • young and inexperienced, the Juniors could always be depended upon and showed remarkable improvement in debating. If these future Seniors and school activity leaders will but carry on, no one but they will reap the golden harvest of success that has always been predominant in Adelphi, and no one but they will give &bating the place which it deserves in the activities of Williston.

AMMA Sigma opened its season with a bang! After much campaigning and many ballots it was finally decided that Leslie A. Outterson should be President; James Morrow sl.ould be Vice-President; and Cyril Blomfield Secertary and Trcasurer for the Fall Term.
Throughout the whole year there was always an enthusiastic bunch of debaters crowding the Gamma Sigma room in Middlc Hall. The culmination of the season's activities was reached when, in the debate with Adelphi, the Gamma Sigma team, composed of Outterson, Boyd, and Lane, won.
The officers for the Winter Term were: John Wild, President; Theodore Zavorski, Vice President, and Willrich K Oiler, Secretary and Treasurer.
Owing to the rush of business in the Spring Term these officers continued in office.

(Written for the Semi-Centennial in 1891, by Irving Bruce,'78)
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 Ecclesiae. 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, my Sammy, My heart yearns for thee; Years for your campus, And your old elm tree. Long may we cherish, In years yet to come, Long may we cherish WILLISTON.
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 the 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! 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.
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.
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 the Blue.
Drink a high-ball at night fall, Be good fellows while you may; For tomorrow may bring sorrow So tonight let's all be gay. Tell the story of glory And of battles fought•and won; May this high-ball make us happy, When we drink to Williston.

I'll sing you a song of Prep School Days, And tell you where to go, To Lawrence ville for your knowledge, Cascadilla to learn to row, Andover for your high-toned swells, But Williston for your men, For riches go to Exeter, And hard luck Wilbraham.

Said a student after reading the jokes in the Log:"Well, I'm stumped."
"Hello, is this the weather bureau? "Uh-huh."
"How about a shower this afternoon?" "I dunno. If you need one, take it."
Rats are found everywhere in the world except in the polar regions, which is due, no doubt, to the extraordinary activity of the pole cats.
"What's all the row?"
"Just the advertising manager and the art editor scrapping about who does all the literary work on this book."
Prof:"You talk like an idiot."
Stude:"Well, I have to talk so you can understand me."
In days of old
When knights were bold And Fords were uninvented They wore iron suits And old tin boots And rattled on contented.
Prof: "Young man, how is it you are coming into class so late?"
Stude: "Sorry, sir, but I just found out that the fellow with the voice similar to mine is sick."

"Have you had your iron today?" said the murderer, as he•stuck his knife into the rich banker.
I don't like the air in here."
"Shall I open the window or kill the orchestra leader?"
"Wat ho, old spook! I say, old plug! What in the world are you doing on the side of the road such a beautiful awfternoon? Eh, wat?"
"'Why, really, old goof! You see, old spiffer! I have neglected to supply my new caw with Sprelly-Kingfields."
"Robert! Robert! Here's another car rounding the corner. How shall I steer ?"
"Try to hit it, Mother. Try to hit it."

"How much is mine?" asked a customer in the rapid-fire rcstaurant.
"You didn't gimme no check."
"Lez see," queried Heloise, the waitress. "What did you have?"
"Lord knows. I ordered corned beef hash."
"What's that clinking noise I hear in that basket?"
"A bottle of ink and a half dozen glass eyes, honest to God."
Prof: "Do we import any raw material from France?"
Wit:"Only plays."

Overheard at the ball game:"Oh, Paul, isn't our pitcher just grand? He hits their bats no matter where they hold them."
The Williston Log ill
Did it ever occur to you that a man's life is just full of cussedness? He comes into the world without his consent; goes out against his will, and the trip between is exceedingly rocky.
When he is little the big girls kiss him, and when he is big the little girls kiss him. If he is poor, he's a bad manager; if he is rich, he's a crook. If he is prosperous, everyone sponges on him; if he needs credit, they hand him a lemon.
If he is in politics, it's for graft; if out of politics, he's no good to his country. If he doesn't give to charity, he's a tightwad; if he does, its for show. If he is actively religious, he's a hypocrite; if he isn't, he's a heathen.
If he is affectionate, he's a soft mark; if he cares for nobody, he's cold blooded. If he dies young, there was a great future for him; if he lives to old age, he missed his calling.
If he doesn't fight, he's yellow; if he does, he's a brute.
If he saves his money, he's a miser; if he spends it, he's a loafer; if he gets it, he's a grafter; if he doesn't, he's a bum.
Motorist: "Is there a William Jones around here?"
Villager: "Yep."
"Where can I find him ?"
"Jes' beyond the bridge thar."
"Isn't that the cemetery?"
"Yep. He's dead."
He "I could dance like this forever."
She: "I'm sure you don't mean it. You're bound to improve."
Williston Log
An Easthampton church recently posted the following announcement on its bulletin board: Herbert Howells will sing next Sunday at the morning service, Oh, Lord, Have Mercy.
"Does your wife object when you stay out late nights?" "Does she? She couldn't file more objections if she were a corporation attorney."
Customer: "That clock seems to run well."
Clockmaker: "Of course it runs well. In fact it only takes that clock forty minutes to run an hour."
"Are you out for anything at school?"
"Yeh. Out for good."
"Do you know that college girl smokers have doubled in the last year?"
"Yes, and I know some that double up ten minutes after their smoke."
WILLISTON: What can you really do?,,
WORCESTER: Do you come from an jankocratic family?
DEAN: How much are they paying you?
CUSHING: Are you in favor of co-education?
MILFORD: How much can you hold?
LAWRENCEVILLE: What were your marks last term?

(After reading the advertisements)
He found himself at a fire. A terribly pretty girl started to rush into the smoke which was pouring from the door. "My baby," she screamed, "my baby." Suddenly an older woman ran to her side. "Be careful dearie," she cried. "Keep that schoolgirl complexion."
They were walking together, he and she, along a winding road which was bathed in moonlight. She lifted her face to gaze at the havens, blazing with myriads of stars. As she stood thus his face drew close to hers. How he longed to taste those scarlet lips. He looked up suddenly. At the side of the road stood a sign, and on the sign were the words, "Eventually, why not now."
He was watching a beam being hauled into place up in a new building. Suddenly he saw it start to fall; he was directly under it. Amid shouting he started to run.. Something struck him on the shoulder; he fell and all went black. In the hospital an hour later, as he regained consciousness, he heard a voice say,"Have you had your iron today ?"
He was next transported to a dance. With a beautiful girl in his arms he swung around the room to the strains of wonderful music. The music ceased. "Let's go for a little walk." "I'm sorry," she said, "but I'm 99 44-100% pure."

"Do you know that an assassin at one dollar a head could make eighteen thousand dollars at Smith?"
"How come?"
"Well, every cat has nine lives."
ro go or not to go; that is the question
Whether 'tis nobler in the ensuing weeks to suffer
The thirsts and starvations of an overdrawn allowance,
Or to draw a check against the pile of bills
And dragging a jane—forget them. To dance; to shake;
Oh ecstasy; and by a dance to say we end the thought of studies and the thousand classes
A student's heir to; 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To dance, to shake, To toddle, perchance to shimmy, ay—there's the rub. For in the moonlight fox-trot what shocks can thrill.
Enough, enough of all this babbling foolishness, I'll end it go.

We notice that most of the modern restaurants are located either on the roof or in the cellar. The roof is certainly nearer the moonshine, but we wonder if the cellar is farther from it.
