George Hop Hero, A.B.
ROFESSOR GEORGE HOYT HERO prepared for college at Worcester Academy. He graduated from Tufts College in the class of 1889. He is a member of Zeta Psi fraternity and the Phi Beta Kappa society. After several years of study abroad, Mr. Hero taught in St. Paul's School, Garden City, L. I. and in Newton High School, Massachusetts. He came to Williston in 1908 as instructor in Latin and Greek and as Master of Payson Hall. In 1917, he took up the position of Master of Ford Hall and about the same time began to teach History. His thorough knowledge of these subjects and ability to impart it to the students made him invaluable to Williston as an instructor. His patience and sympathy with the boys, his ready and capable response to those who seek his aid, have brought him the affectionate respect of those under his charge.
Mr. Hero takes a lively interest in athletics, especially in the games played with Worcester Academy. His clever and enlightening talks at chapel and al various other exercises have won for him the respect and admiration of the entire student body.
A man of magnetic personality, cheerful disposition, a refined, cultured gentleman; is Professor Hero, whom we graciously admire and deeply respect.

HE coming of June brings with it the realization of a long-sought for goal--graduation.
Altho this event is looked upon with joy and pleasure, it is also accompanied by a feeling of sadness, for it means separation from our cherished and beloved Alma Mater and a divergence in the paths of close and happy friendships.
Upon our departure from Williston, we enter a new life, one that will thoroughly test'us for the qualities that our school has instilled in us. We are sure that the true Williston spirit is rooted deep and will ever guide us and keep us worthy of the name—Williston Alumni.
We have much to be proud of in the whole-hearted way in which the members of the graduating class have entered into every department of school activities.

"Al" "Tommy"
Mamaroneck, N. Y.
Entered first year Scientific; Vice-President of Y. M. C. A.

Z.; Intenfraternity Council (4); Representative at Boston Alumni Banquet (4); Representative at Blair (3).
PRINCETON
"Al" is the school canary—"'nuff said." If it were not for "Al" Smith College would certainly be a failure, for it is his presence nearby that attracts girls the country over and brings them to Northampton. We cannot blame them tho', for he surely has a captivating personality. "Al" has been a steady plugger on the various teams throughout his four years here and has succeeded on all of them. This year he made an excellent "barker" on the football team. For three years he has been the mainstay of the tennis team and its captain. He makes an excellent leader and wherever he is, his presence is felt (ask the new I. Z. members). No doubt in years to come we will hear of "Al" as the "Oil King of the World," for he certainly knows how to pull strings.
"Great men are among the best gifts which God bestows upon a people."
Springfield, Mass.
Entered third year classical. Soccer (4).
AMHERST
After having made two futile attempts to gain his Carcasson,"Hank" decided that a bit more preptraining might be advantageous before the third, and proverbially last attack. Of rather quiet nature, he is often found in the near vicinity of a bridge game; but tales are told, and unwise is the person who tries to anger him. This year he enters the lists well equipped and we are confident that he will succeed.
"Speech is great; but silence is greater."
HENRY HARRIS BALLOU "Hank"

JOHN BARRE CUPP "Cuppie"
Philadelphia, Pa.
Entered third year classical. Orchestra (3, 4); Track (3, 4); Head Cheer Leader (3); Class Flag Committee (4); Iota Zeta.
WILLIAMS
Lucubration is not "Cuppie's" main point; but he is a master manipulator of the traps. It was,for the most part, due to this Quaker son that the Orchestra was made one of Sammie's institutions. The track team boasted his membership for the two years he has been with us, and we expect to hear great things of this dash-man when he represents the Purple and Gold.
"Humor is gravity concealed behind the jest."
WARREN PLATT CORDES "Ike"
Florence, Mass.
Entered fourth year classical; Gamma Sigma (4). COLGATE
What a blow-out—hey! that's a mistake—we mean knock-out! "Ike" isn't a blow-out by any means, though he does drive a F— — er—car; and he is quite proficient in ye manly art of self-defence and fisticuffs. Why shouldn't he be? He comes from Florence, owns a roller skate, and has hair on his chest. Besides, he's "one of the gang," a hard plugger, and as true and clean as a hound's tooth.
"A clean tooth never decays."
FREDERICK KIMBALL DAGGETT, JR.
"Ted" "Pansy"
Hartford, Conn.
Entered third year Scientific; Tennis (3, 4); Hockey (4); Editor-in-Chief "Willistonian" (4); Literary Editor "Log"; Student Council (4); F. C. BROWN
"Ted" dropped into Williston during the winter term of '24 completely stocked up with the works of Joe Conrad. No, but "Ted" really is a literary man, as, besides being the widest read fellow in school, he has also the gift of writing, especially poetry. The title of "Busiest Man in School" fits him well, as Editor-in-Chief of the best "Willistonian" ever produced requires considerable time and effort. His mind, however, was not wholly occupied with literary pursuits, for he found time to win his letter in both hockey and tennis. After having spent a year and a half at Williston, "Ted" is leaving for Brown, where a brilliant future is awaiting him.
"It is the glory and merit of some men to write well."
WILLIAM BOWDITCH DERBY "Bill"
Paxton, Mass.
Entered third year Classical; Glee Club (3, 4); Dramatics (3, 4); Adelphi (3, 4).
UNIV. OF MONTANA
Folks, gaze upon the countenance of the pie-eating champion of Williston. At this art "Bill" is unsurpassed. We know his abilities in dramatics, espec- ially in female roles, and he is a member of our famed Glee Club. We will admit that he is a small boy, but he has attained much strength in pumping the organ. No matter what happens "Bill" will get along in this world.
"God made him, therefore let him pass for a man."

ORRIN BERNARD DUNTON "K. 0."
Easthampton, Mass.
Entered first year Scientific; Glee Club (2, 3, 4); Adelphi (1, 2, 3, 4).
DARTMOUTH
Day in and day out "K. 0." is seen about school and town, perhaps more so about the latter. In school, he is so quiet and unobtrusive that he is hardly noticed, but when he clashes around town he is a marked man. In spite of the fact that "K. 0." is quiet, his voice has been heard in the Glee Club for the past three years. If this voice doesn't fail him,"K.0." should conquer all obstacles and succeed in life.
"A gentleman is a Christian product, neat not gawdy."
LAWRENCE GILBERT FARWELL
"Lawrie"
Bridgeport, Conn.
Entered third year Scientific; Soccer (3, 4); Manager of Track (4); Dramatics (3, 4); "Log" Board (4); "Willistonian" Board (4); Athletic Advisory Board (4); Prom Committee (4); Adelphi (3, 4); L. L. D.
YALE
In our minds there is no one in school so energetic and willing to do something than "Lawrie." His untiring efforts aided the dramatic productions a good deal and he has been active in many other fields. He is, in a way, a young "Steinmetz." He might strike some people as a quiet unassuming chap, but such is not "Lawrie." You will find him with the fair sex quite a bit and at other times he is an unsuspicious "devil." "Lawrie" has the world before him and we all know he will attain a high standing place in it.
"There is a deal of mischief under this calm exterior."
JAMES FREDERICK FRAUNFELTER "Doggie"
Canton, Ohio
Entered second year Classical; Football (3, 4); Basketball (3, 4); Captain of Basketball (4); Glee Club (3, 4); Dramatic Club (2);"Y" Cabinet (3, 4); Student Council (4); Gamma Sigma; F. C.
YALE
Williston is proud of its "Doggie," and a great right they have to be, for "Jimmy" is far above the average fellow. Among his greatest achievements were varsity football and basketball for two years. Playing center on the football team, he was the mainstay of the whole Williston line with his eternal fight and grit. Speaking of grit—do you remember the Worcester football game last fall when "Doggie" arose from a sick bed the morning of the game to be in the lineup to fight for Williston. That's the spirit "Doggie" had in everything. In the court where he captained the team his last year, he was an inspiration to his men and it was mainly due to him that the "five" made such a creditable showing. It was a treat to watch "Doggie" in everything he did, but that is over for us now. He's leaving for Yale, from whence, no doubt, we will hear in the future great deeds of his doings.
"I came, I saw, I conquered."
JAMES KENDALL FULLERTON "Ken" "Flannelfeet"
Willimantic, Conn.
Entered fourth year Scientific; Glee Club; Adelphi.
CLARK
When this sandy-haired youth came into our midst last fall, North Hall was blessed with what appeared to be a quiet angel. But as time went on things changed and "Ken" turned out to be a very talkative youngster. By this ability to talk he has upheld the second entry of North against the powerful third entry tribe. His habits are tame and when not found in a bridge game he is romping about the tennis courts. As "Father Time" brings on the new years we expect to see "Ken" well settled in this huge world.

JAMES FRANCIS GARVEY "Jim" "Polack"
Holyoke, Mass.
Entered first year Classical; President Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (4); Student Council (4); Adelphi (1, 2, 3, 4); Williston-Worcester Debating Team (3, 4); Glee Club (3); Dramatics (3, 4); "Willistonian" Board (3); Manager of Baseball (3); Class Photograph Committee; Class Charm Committee; F. C.
COLGATE
"Jim's" silver tongued oratory may be heard at all times floating over our campus. In our estimation he ranks second only to "Dan" Webster, that "grand old man" of years gone by. As the mainstay of many extra curriculum activities, "Jim" has shown his worth in the four years that he has graced Williston with his presence. It is needless to tell you that "Jim" hails from Holyoke. He will tell you that as soon as you come within hailing distance. We also think that the Holyoke Chamber of Commerce must be giving "Jim" a salary to spread the "fine qualities" of this town to the wide world. In losing him, the school loses a mighty good "booster" and we imagine that Colgate will be very glad to have him among its "greenhorns" next fall.
"Much ado about nothing."
WALTER CHESSMAN GUTTERSON "Walt"
Weymouth, Mass.
Entered fourth year Scientific.
DARTMOUTH
"Walt" came up here last fall, looked the place over and decided that this was to be his Alma Mater. During the time that "Ike" Cordes roomed with him, he became an authority on the use of broken-down, decrepit firearms as well as mountaineering. As a result of this, we will probably hear of him some day as an explorer in the wilds of some unknown country. He has attained fame among the student body as the star of Mr. Tibbets' Plane Geometry class, a thing to be proud of. We offer him our best wishes for like success in the business world.

RICHARD D. HOWGATE "Dick"
Schenectady, N. Y.
Entered first year Scientific; Chairman of Prom Committee; Business Manager of the "Log"; Class Charm Committee; Hat Committee; Soccer (3, 4); Cross Country (1, 2); Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4); Student Council (4); Athletic Advisory Board (3); "Y" Cabinet (4); Dramatics (3, 4); Glee Club (2); Adelphi (1, 2, 3, 4); "Willistonian Board (1, 2, 3, 4); Cheer Leader (3, 4); L. L. D.
UNION
You all know "Dick"—he is that fellow who is always telling us what a "grand an' glorious" place Schenectady is. It is not his fault that he lives there and some day, no doubt, he will be able to live it down. "Dick" is noted for many things. Probably, his best known "nom de guerre" is that of "The Man with a Thousand Roommates," for "Dick" certainly has had plenty of them during his sojourn here. As an all-around Willistonian, "Dick" is right there and no branch of activities has escaped him. Athletics, debates, "Willistonian" Board and bridge have all occupied him at some time or another. From the degree of success attained in these, we know that "Dick" will make good in future years.
"The Devil has his elect."
IRVING DURFEE HUMPHREY, JR. "June"
Tiverton, R. I.
Entered fourth year Classical; Glee Club (4); Class Flag Committee (4); F. C. WILLIAMS
When the curtains of our Williston days have descended, and we look back to them for inspiration, certain of our classmates will loom more distinctly than others; not because of their athletic ability, or because they were students, but because they were friends. In this last group comes "June," the man from Rhode Island. Fortunately, or unfortunately, he was assigned a room in the famed third entry and is now a staunch supporter of the Mussolini Club. "June" leaves us for Williams, and in parting we bestow the greatest benison we have—our wishes for success.

WINFIELD FRANKLIN JENNEY "Winnie" "Jen"
New Bedford, Mass.
Entered second year Scientific; Track (2, 3, 4); Captain Track (4); Glee Club (4); Student Council (4); Iota Zeta.
WESLEYAN
A persistent, quiet, unerring, fast slip of a man is "Winnie." No, he isn't such a "sissie" as his name predicts. To hear his yell, which is quite often on the campus, one would think him a cave-man, uttering his war-cry. He has been very faithful to his Alma Mater in sports, for though he did not play as a regular on either the football or the hockey teams, he was untiringly consistent in his help towards them. But, however, he has won honors in the field of track, being on it three years and captaining it his last. His perseverance, together with his good intentions, is bound to bring him happiness in the future.
"Thy modesty's a candle to thy merit."
WILLIAM WYMAN LANOU "Billy"
Pittsfield, Mass.
Entered fourth year Classical. Adelphi (4); Soccer (4); Track (4); Cum Laude; "Willistonian" (4); L. L. D.
McGILL
"Billy" is the "little big boy" of Williston. Featuring in all the "gang fights' between the entries, he is often seen carrying the scars of battles won and lost. He is a fast lad too, often giving Jenney a great deal of trouble in holding his name of "Williston's Foremost Miler." His speed also enabled him to secure a berth on the Soccer 'II" last fall. "Billy" was also one of the four smiling fellows who stood up in front of chapel one May morning and were received into the Cum Laude Society. There is one thing we must tell you before we close—a deep, dark secret: "Billy" comes from Pittsfield! Don't tell anyone for they would surely look down on him and he is not the kind of a fellow for one to look down upon even tho' he does tip the scales at five feet, one inch, and weighs one hundred without his shoes. "Good Things Come in Little Packages."
EDWIN NORBERT LEWANDOWSKI "Eddie" "Lavy"
Huntington Park, Cal.
Entered first year Scientific; Dramatics (2, 4); Gamma Sigma (1, 2, 3, 4); Phi Rho Alpha; Hockey (4); Gift Committee (4); Assistant Athletic Editor "Log."
YALE
Who is this man so young and fair? He is the nephew of the two illustrious "Lavies," John and Henry, who have already won their niches in Williston's hall of fame. But let them look to their laurels! Though "Eddie" hails from Huntington Park, Cal., sunny all the year round, he is now wearing a hockey letter and is famous for his ability in "dramats." Not only is he the neatest man on the campus but also one of the best liked fellows in school; and, if Yale and time cannot finish the success Williston has started, there must be a wrench in the works somewhere.
"For the apparel oft proclaims the man."
SHERMAN LITTLE
"Ichie" "Sherm"
Thiells, N. Y.
Entered first year Scientific; Glee Club (1, 2, 4); Hockey (2, 3, 4); Captain Hockey (4); Charm Committee, chairman (4); Stndent Council (4); "Y" Cabinet; F. C.
DARTMOUTH
"Ichie" certainly does not live up to his "short" name for he is, without a doubt, the tallest member of the class. "Sherm" came to us four years ago,— a lanky, undeveloped "buckling." To look at him now, one could hardly imagine what these years of good, manly training at Williston have done to him. Not only is he an athlete, having earned a berth on the undefeated '23 team, but he is classed among the honor-men. "Sherm" is headed for Dartmouth, and if Dartmouth shall do as much as Williston has done to him, we shall probably see his name in "Who's 'Who" in the future.
"A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the best of men."
JOHN FRANCIS McGRATH
"Mac" "Mugsy" "Squirt"
Amsterdam, N. Y.
Entered third year Scientific; Editor-in-Chief "Log" (4); "Willistonian" Board (3, 4); Gle.e Club (3); Adelphi (3, 4); Secretary Senior Class (4); Class Flag Committee (4); Senior Appointment (4); Interfraternity Council (4); Art Club (4); Manager of Soccer (4); L. L. D.
M. I. T.
When "Mac" came to Williston, nearly all of New England heard indirectly that there was such a place in the country known as Amsterdam. It is so remote that it is referred to as a village. However, this was not his fault, for he wasn't born there and we all have appreciated learning about the place. "Mac" reminds us of the historic Lincoln who arose from the backlands and did wonders. He has been very active here during the past two years and has achieved many honors too numerous to mention. The fact that he is Editor-in-Chief of the "Log" tells us that his fame has just begun and we can expect to find him among the "Who's Who in America" in later years.
"A fountain of youth bubbling over with laughter."
DONALD ROBERT MALLERY "Bull"
Springfield, Mass.
Entered second year Scientific; Track (3, 4); Captain (4); Soccer (3, 4); "Willistonian" Board (3); "Log" Board (4); Prom Committee (4); Beaux Art Club (4); Basketball Manager (4); "Y" Cabinet (4); Flag Committee (4); Glee Club (4); Phi Rho Alpha.
YALE
Although "Bull" was to have graduated last year, he felt the old Williston spirit harping on his soul and could not bear to leave us so soon. If you have any praise coming concerning the cartoons in this edition of the "Log," he is the man responsible, since he holds the respectful position of Art Editor. If you have anything to say to the contrary, he'd feel better if you wouldn't say it. Having captained last year's track team, he is out again this year for high honors. His talent, together with his good looks, should bring him success.
"Not afraid to study, yet not afraid to fail."
FRANCISCO MARCIAL "Frank" "Marcy"
Havana, Cuba
Entered third year Classical; Glee Club (4); Dramatics (3); Gamma Sigma (3, 4); Sigma Eta Delta.
LAFAYETTE
"Frank" is one of our Cuban representatives and we all agree that he is one fine boy. Though not resembling Valentino in looks and physique, he is one man that the damsels fall for and they fall hard. We will admit that "Frank" is rather quiet, but when he and his Cuban delegation meet at "Herbie's," there ensues one grand bedlam. No fellow in school is more popular than "Frank" and his good nature and pleasing personality will win him a host of friends.
"A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing."
JOEL II. REED, 2nd "Joe"
Stafford Springs, Conn.
Entered second year Scientific; Soccer (3, 4); Prom Committee; Glee Club (2); Advisory Board (4); 1. Z.
COLGATE
That quiet, sleek looking boy you have seen strolling around with a truck-load of books under his arm is our friend "Joe." "Joe" comes from a little country village down in Connecticut called Stafford Springs. At various times, especially after weekends or vacations, we hear tales • of "big-doings" down on the farm. We must say that living on a farm is a good thing if "Joe" is an example, for a better and more agreeable fellow would be hard to find. Everything that "Joe" enters into he does heartily and we wish him all the success in the world. •

ELLIOT JONATHAN STEVENS "Tex" "Cowboy"
El Paso, Texas
Entered fourth year Classical; Soccer (4); Basketball (4); Adelphi (4); Prom Committee (4); "Willistonian" Board (4); Iota Zeta.
CORNELL
Here we have our riding, broncho-busting, twogun cowpuncher from Texas. But, strange as it may seem, he is a lady's man and unlike most of us, the fair ones come after him. There is a doubt as to whether this is due to his winning ways or the fact that he is a cowboy, but to our minds it is both. No better lad ever trod the grounds of Williston than this fair son of the South and we can predict success for him in future years.
"One of those welcome faces that brings sunshine to life's shadowed places."
JOSEPH DANIEL SIDLEVICZ
"Joe"
Middleboro, Mass.
Entered first year Scientific; Gamma Sigma (1, 2, 3); Beaux Arts Club (4); Sigma Eta Delta.
M. I. T.
"Joe" may or may not look like a bruiser, but, anyhow, he's a rip-tail roarer from Cape Cod, and can compare verbal fireworks with the roughest, toughest, and ugliest man in Williston or with anybody who thinks he is. Even so, that doesn't keep him from being liked by all the fellows, and from getting his name on the honor list.

GEORGE VAN COTT "Rabbit"
Mt. Vernon, N. Y.
Entered fourth year Scientific; Football (4); Basketball (4); Baseball (4); Literary Editor, "Willistonian" (4); Athletic Editor "Log" (4); Class Gift Committee (4); F. C.
WESLEYAN
"Rabbit" entered these revered halls last Septem- ber. Since that time his accomplishments have been in the nature of a continual conquest. A three "major" man, his athletic activities are not all, for he has worked conscientiously for both of our literary publications. Since Prof. Tibbets states that Van Cott is always on the band wagon, we expect nothing but successful reports from Wesleyan next year.
"True popularity takes deep root and spreads itself wide."
HERBERT THOMAS WALKER "Babe"
Fall River, Mass.
Entered fourth year Scientific; F. C.
Because "Babe" has no great list of activities after his name does not mean he remained idle while at Williston. Far from it—"Babe" was busy working hard, giving his all for the school every moment from his first days as a "Buck" to the present time. He played half-back on the second football team, willingly letting himself be battered around by the varsity, without the prospects of a letter for reward. He also was a scrub on the hockey team and a persistent runner on the track.
"Babe" is rather quiet but his good nature and pleasing personality make him one of the most popular boys on the campus. Williston and the third entry will miss him next year.
"A good name is better than bags of gold."

EDWIN AMBROSE WELLS "Eddie" "Fox"
Waterbury, Conn.
Entered third year Scientific; Track (3, 4); Adelphi (3, 4); Relay Team (4); Glee Club (4); Iota Zeta.
R. P.1.
When the third entry gathers to assert its superiority over some other groups of inhabitants of North Hall, "Eddie" is sure to be seen in the midst hooting like the proverbial owl and making as big a rumpus as possible. No gang fight would be complete without him, for with his nimble "10 sec." feet he is always able to lead the retreat in true "Braddock style." But as an all-around good scout "Eddie" heads the list. His cheerful disposition and winning manner have made him many life-long friends and we wish him the best of luck in college and afterlife.

ALBERT HUBBELL WILLIAMS "Roscoe"
Pittsfield, Mass.
Entered fourth year Scientific. COLGATE
"Roscoe," although a native of Pittsfield, possesses that good quality of congeniality. In fact, everywhere "Roscoe" is present, interesting conversation is not lacking. Aside from the fact that "Roscoe" is popular among his fellow students, he seems to be equally, or more popular—with the fair sex. In all probability "Roscoe" will succeed in life, although ladies and letters may tend to derail him.
"What a spendthrift he is of his tongue."

CHARLES STODDARD WILLISTON, JR. "Stod" "Willie" Chicago, Ill.
Entered second year Scientific; Valedictorian (4); Cum Laude (4); Williston-Worcester Debating Team (3, 4); Class Gift Committee (4); "Willistonian" (2, 3, 4); Adelphi (2, 3, 4); Orchestra (3, 4); Delegate to Connecticut Valley Alumni Banquet (3); Manager Basketball (4); L. L. D. GRINNELL
The machinery of the school could never go on as smoothly as it does if it were not for the oil which this western gentleman spreads so thickly all over the place. Stoddard's gift for oratory has done wonders for the school in all its various debates. From his knowledge of Pullman cars, we rather think that "Willie" will some day grace these vehicles in the capacity of porter. However, we will let that rest for the present. As for scholarly attainments, the aforementioned sleek gentleman has squirmed his way into the Valedictorian's chair and a membership in Cum Laude—'Nuff said!

LAFAYETTE
Little, likable, laughable, Williston will miss this representative from the Orient. Four years ago he approached South Hall staggering under the weight of a large English-Chinese dictionary. Today he may be heard quoting grammar rules to sundry literateurs. Such is the reward of application. "Chas." played forward on the soccer team for two years, and many are the large opponents who have wonder- ingly found themselves on the ground after a bit of roughing. He is a member of Beaux Arts, also, and may be seen wandering around completely shadowed by his drawing board. Lafayette claims "Celes" now, and we wish him the best of luck, perennial luck, in fact.

Easthampton, Mass.
Entered fourth year Scientific; Gamma Sigmi (4); Worcester-Williston Debating Team (4); Senior Appointment; Cum Laude; Honor Man (4); Soccer (4).
HARVARD
A home town product is "Ignatz." Having won for himself the highest honors in the local high school, he came to Williston to capture greater prizes and succeeded. "Be sure you're right, then go ahead," that's "Cue-Ball" all the way through. Not only has he won fame in scholastic ability, but boasts of a position on the soccer team and also plays a consistent game of tennis. He expects to go to Harvard next year, there to conquer greater fields. We wish him success of the best.

BOLESLAW M. NITKIEWICZ "Bill" "Baazlaf"
Holyoke, Mass.
Entered fourth year Scientific; Sigma Eta Delta. M. A. C.
"Bill" is one of the stalwart representatives from Holyoke. He is a quiet, unobserving sort of chap; but when he is riled, he sees nothing and just swings. He is a hard plugger, both in the field of athletics and scholarship. He is quite famous for his name since but one of the faculty can whistle it to the right tune. We hope to hear the best about "Bill" in future years.

Class Prophecy of 1925
A Glance Into the Future for 1925
0 the eastward, several miles but seeming a thousand under the thick heaviness of this wild night, Watch Hill Light periodically gleamed, vague, indistinct, and cold. Around us raced and struggled a legion of bloodthirsty waves; sea serpents fighting to the utterance with each other in their desire to be the first to swamp these three foolish humans who dared challenge the supremacy of the sea. Occasionally one great green creature would tower up for a moment and then thunder aboard, only to have our staunch craft give a sickening lurch, hesitate in indecision, and finally push doggedly on. A heavy nor-east breeze was howling in the rigging, moaning, growling wrathfully. And the three men in a boat beat defiantly to the eastward, toward warmth, shelter, comfort.
It was a night in which the whole of a man's past comes before him. His very thots assume reality, like a far off wish suddenly become true, concrete, claimable. I was hanging desperately to the spokes of our two-foot wheel; alternately looking ahead for a glimpse of our beacon and then at our binnacle. The binnacle-lamp burned fitfully, flared up and was weak again. I must have grown exhausted from my efforts for all at once an enveloping curtain of blackness descended before my eyes, and I saw nothing but the round, shadowy crystal of the binnacle. It grew brilliant under my fixed gaze, and following my thots answered my questions, faithfully, coherently, plausibly. I shall attempt to reproduce for you what I saw, which was as if I had heard it.
A shadowy image appeared in the dial, and as it assumed definite form I recognized Al Aiken. A different Al from the one I had known, however, for he sported a trim vandyke and was garbed in clerical robes. The oracle hastily traced his career: law student, lawyer, judge, jail warden. As he faded from sight a group of striped figures clustered around him.
Hank Ballou drifted in midst a background of test tubes, diabolical looking machines, and the like. I was puzzled, but the binnacle obligingly labelled him "Famed Scientist, propounder of a new theory of `Bugenition.'"
I was shuddenly dazzled by the sight of a man in a bright checked suit. He carried a large case, which, upon being opened disclosed tooth brushes

of an enormous size. Ike Cordes was carrying on the paternal line, it seemed.
A roaring fire, similar to the alumni conflagration, blew to the fore. In the midst of it Johnnie Cupp was industriously banging a bass drum. A circle of Aunt Everythings was dancing gleefully around it singing, "Down. with jazz."
A glasses-adorned erudite replaced the bonfire and by his gesticulations I perceived Ted Daggett. He was trying to sell one of his stories to Bill Derby, who ran a publishing firm. A sign read "W. Derby and Self, Publishers—Sea Stories a Specialty."
A placid scene of the country made mc ponder a moment. Then I saw Orrie Dunton leading a jersey cow into its pasture. "He's a dairyman," said the prophet, "and supplies the Williston Faculty with its buttermilk."
I suddenly looked hard at the glass for I saw a trim chorus of Broadway belles doing their stuff. It was the dance of the seven veils. Lawrie Farwell was directing them, and his appearance hadn't changed much from the time he leaned out of the windows in North to direct feminine pedestrian traffic. Water splashed on the binnacle and obliterated all just after the sixth veil had been cast aside.
I counted ten slowly, sighed and glanced back. A rather short, massively muscled man sat behind the bars of a circus cart. For ten cents everyone could feel of the strong man. Doggie Fraunfelter scowled as one incredulous third entryite dislodged some padding.
J. K. Fullerton marched absent-mindedly past. He was writing on the back of an envelope, and over his shoulder I could see that he was calculating the time of day by solid geometry. He never forgot what Mr. Tibbets had said . . ..
Jim Garvey emerged from the blackness. He was over in Egypt trying to sell some patent medicine, Youth-Restorer, I think it was, to Speed Gutterson. The picture was more or less hazy and I noticed that Jim was emitting steam as he spoke. Gutterson looked decrepit but at these golden words his bent back straightened, his bald head was covered with black hair, and he danced a jig around Jim's covered wagon. After fingering his shekel pensively, he shook his head, called his army, and strutted away.
My thoughts turned to Dick Howgate. The fortune teller acted rather obscurely on this point and then flashed an image of a successful Schenectady business man. The proverbial pencil was behind his ear and he chewed vigorously on a cigar stub. He was dictating a letter, but had paused in the process to tell his mailing clerk a few things. The sermon with, "When I was Circulation Manager of the Willistonian . . . ," here the stenographer
Williston Log
giggled and Dick gave her such a black look that I shuddered and turned away.
The door of a doctor's office stood sullenly at attention. It proclaimed to the world—and Williston that "Dr. Humphrey, B. C." presided within. I debated at length on the title. Obviously B. C. was not an historical period in this case. Oh, Bone Cutter,—very fitting! The.door opened. On a table reposed La Vie Parisienne and the Williston Bulletin. Near the bay window a hod of bricks attracted my attention. To my surprise Conan Doyle's Dr. Watson had come to life and was busily occupied in dropping bricks from the tenth story window on passers-by. He chuckled gleefully; rubbed his hands insiduously, and glanced toward a chest of carpenter's tools each time he made a strike. Merely a new way of drumming up trade, I thought, but what a change!
The glow deepened. In the center, the most lucient spot, I beheld an old, old man feebly rocking a small child in his lap. His tale was interesting, apparently, for the little listener clapped his hands with happiness. As the oracle hurried on I heard, as the ghost of an echo,"Oh, Uncle Jenney, please tell me some more about the days when there was Prohibition."
Bill Lanou must have had an ubiquitous craving for knowledge for he came in a vision garnished with books, and musty garrets. I gathered from the cigarette butts strewn about the room that he must have "oft outwatched the bear."
An unmistakable essence of an effective perfume assailed my nostrils. An artist, with his back toward me, was working industriously at his easel. In the background, perched on a sturdy pedestal nochalantly holding an unlighted Camel in his mouth, Eddie Lewandowski preserved a perfect pose. A few months hence, and he will grace many of our public conveyances as an advertisement for Sparrow Collars. In humorous periodicals the ad. will be reproduced with the heading "Why Girls Leave Home."
It is a bright summer's day at the Polo Grounds. The stands, packed like Graham crackers, are on their feet as one man. Here and there bright bits of color bravely flaunt the breeze; and from time to time a weak heart succumbs to the excitement and its owner crumples up like a castle of dust. On the field pitcher and catcher are holding a consultation. Forty-thousand jaws drop as they part, each to his place. Eighty-thousand fists are clenched as the towering pitcher winds up. Forty-thousand Smith Bros. Cough Drops are swallowed as one when he lets go. Fifteen straw hats are whole as Little, mighty Ichie, strikes him out and saves the game.
One year not so long ago, I happened to be in Saratoga at race time. The
Williston Log
reason I mention this is because a scene that reminded me particularly of the Saratoga races was impressed in the glass. A fils of gayly costumed jockeys formed before the scales to be "weighed in." There were perhaps eight of them, all little fellows. With saddles over their arms and their bright silkstriped suits glistening in the sun like a lost rainbow suddenly became alive, they made an octet of faintastic figures. To my astonishment I recognized number three to be my old friend, John McGrath. As he left the platform several photographers rushed up, and Mac, true to form, immediately assumed his Napoleonic attitude and posed unblinkingly till they drove him away. So, after all, Mac is ponying
The oracle was getting warmed to its work now, and the prophecit-: came in rapid rotation.
Don Mallery, instead of becoming an artist as I supposed, was,shown me broadcasting bedtime stories by radio. He was telling his audience that once upon a time there was a schoolboy, even a you and I; and this schoolboy didn't like his teacher, even . . . . no that's wrong. But anyway he didn't like his teacher. Whether he named him for a famous Garden of Eden character, and what eventually happened, the prophet didn't wait to find out, but hurried on.
The headlines of a New York American captured my eye. They read "Cuban Cavaliero Named as Correspondent." . Frank Marcial apparently believes in that old adage,"More hearts have been lost 'neath a Spanish moon than on the Spanish Main."
On the same page I saw that B. Nitkiewicz, Polish statesman, would arrive at New York on the "Black Shirt," a new transatlantic air liner named in his honor. He was in the country on his yeaVly pilgrimage to advocate the advisability of wearing black shirts. "His first lecture," continued the paper, "was to be delivered before the Associated Coal Heavers' Union."
Joel Reed rolled by in a Chrysler roadster, vintage of 1925. He was headed for the Westchester Biltmore, I was told, where he was going to attend a silver jubilee of the class of '25. He was dressed as a gentlemat farmer—and apparently was hale enough to endure many more vicissitudes in the apple line.
He passed Joe Sidlevicz on the Post Road. Joe was navigating a steam roller with mammoth attached wings, and was having a tough time making it go fast enough to rise. I debated whether or not Joe was devising a new method of entrance into the heavenly house.
I heard that Elliot Stevens was an adventurer. It seems that Texas had become too dry for him, and he had left for Africa several weeks before, in
The Williston Log
search of excitement. Such a shame! The oracle was penitent but could not pick him out of the surrounding darkness sufficiently for me to get a good view. All I saw was a white helmet and a broad smile.
George Van Cott is going to be renowned for many things. Due to the fact that he was a famous college athlete, Rabbit will obtain a position as athletic coach at Blunderbuss Institute. He will have phenomenal success with their cricket team and will open a summer school for chessmen. From there he will go to Iceland, as basketball coach in the Nordic University. The world will remember him as the inventer of non-skid cleats for polo players.
The oracle chuckled when he showed me the interior of one of Smith Houses. A fellow was sitting on an obviously uncomfortable, straightbacked chair. He was quoting some aphorism on "strength," intercalated with numerous nibbles on his fingernails. He was fidgeting and from time to time looked around anxiously. Ah, I recognized him! It was Babe Walker on a blind.
I berated the prophet for showing me this entirely too tender scene. Besides, maybe that was only Babe's ghost....
I saw Eddie Wells all dressed up in blue and gold—that is to say—brass. I immediately thot of a police officer but the oracle inscribed "Salvation Army Hymn Soloist" be neath him. Poor Ed, his bumming of cigarettes had so affected him that he had become slightly demented. His fanakicism was relieved by this worthy occupation.
The oracle now flashed a blackboard, covered with letters and numbers similar to a ouija board chart. A funny elfinlike creature hopped out beside it. I assumed that from now on all questions were to be aldressed to him.
I rather hesitated about asking anything for he seemed to be the representative of some diabolically evil power. However, curiosity finally conquered and I gently said, "Al Williams." Immediately the dervish's lurid phisiognomy lighted up. He spelled several words out slowly. The six remaining strands of hemp on my head stood upright. I felt the blood rising in my cheeks. "No, no," I thought. "It can't be." But the gnome nodded triantly. I shuddered, and passed on, all the while meditating that it was tough on the chaps to come.
Tod Williston, I reiterated, and shivered again. The chimera scratched his noble dome pensively, sighed, and plunged in. "Debating Coach at a School for the Deaf and Dumb," was what he laboriously marked out. From all appearances Will's Williston training had stood him in good stead.
Tired of the evil spirit, I waved him away. The stage was transferred to the Orient. A horde of raving Chinamen, carrying cleavers, spikes and van-
Williston Log
ous other implements reminiscent of the stone age, were banging on the door of a battered mining shack. Allowing a glance inside, the oracle showed me Chas. Yuan warily peeking thru a knothole. From all events Wing was having some real American labor difficulties with his coolies.
As suddenly as it had come on, the scene was whisked off. Edmund Zawacki could be observed trudging wearily along Cottage Street taking the State Census report. He knocked at one door. A strangely familiar feminine face was inserted in the rectangular frame. Just when Zawacki was leaving, two old infirm setter dogs hobbled around the corner to bark at him.
So this was the future of my classmates. The school which they had loved and strived for was but a memory, vague, indistinct, yet always sur- rounded by a halo of soft, happy transluscent light. Yet perhaps their spirits still survive their forms ; perhaps . ..
But the wraiths of decades are living Tenants here about campus and hall And the spirits of past generations Linger and brood over all.
The binnacle lamp lost its welkin lustre and faded slowly down to its dim terrestrial light. We had entered Stonington harbor, and were sheltered from the winds and tritonic wrath. A soft land breeze ruffled the sails as we swung around and let go anchor. The rain had ceased. A few faint stars fluttered high above and seemed reflected in the phosphorescent water like the figures of some impossible dream. Night brooded peacefully over all

The Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class of1925
the Senior Class of Williston Academy, Hampshire County, State of Massachusetts, having the appearance of sound minds and bodies, do hereby publish, manufacture and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament in the manner following, that is to say:
First: We give, devise and bequeath to our trusty Faculty our sincere thanks and appreciation for the terrific pains they have taken to educate us.
Second: We direct that all Middlers strive to attain that brilliance of mind which characterizes our esteemed classmate, Edmund Zawacki.
Third: We do hereby bequeath the right to the Middle Class to edit the "Log" when they shall have acquired the status of Seniors in this Temple of Learning, the following conditions to be observed:
First: That they have a larger and more dignified Editor-inChief than the one appointed for the year 1925.
Second: That not more than 4,000,000 copies be issued in June, 1926, in order that the Saturday Evening Post and Youths' Companion have time to recover from the year of depression caused by this issue.
Fourth: We, the Senior Class of 1925, leave a standing challenge to any member to surpass the bounds record set by our elongated classmate, "Red" Bennett
Fifth: The right to occupy the Post Office Boxes vacated by us is bequeathed to any Middler who shall by the Grace of God and the leniency of the Faculty be admitted to the Senior Class of 1926.
Sixth: The notorious F. A. Aiken, Jr., bequeaths his unequaled voice to that member of the Middle Class who needs it most, namely Galen Hall.
Seventh: Howard Russell Nixon bequeaths four cases of Patooli's Hair Curling Salve (guaranteed not to rust, scratch or tarnish) to Jake Tremper, whose appearance would be enhanced a hundred-fold had he the curly locks of the aforementioned Howard Russell Nixon.
Eighth: We wish to suggest, upon closer observation of the Middle Class, that the study room in Middle Hall be carefully padded and barred,to be used as a study only for those of the Middle Class whose minds have been weakened by incessant study, namely, Robert Moore and Addison Smith.
Ninth: We also wish to suggest that the addition of hot and cold running water in the class rooms with an old-fashioned beer garden in the rear of the room would greatly stimulate both the work and attitude of the students.
Tenth: The Third Entry Quartette, Wells, Little, Jenney and Humphrey, desire to announce that upon the return from their European engagement this summer they will bequeath their sonorous voices to any group capable of producing a like quartette.
Eleventh: We bequeath the high privilege to the Middle Class of making up any unexcused absences left by us.
Twelfth: We hereby appoint Mr. Charles Hart and Mr. W. A. Richardson and Mr. F. W. Bennett as executors to this, our Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former wills made by us.
In witness whereof, I have set my hand and seal on this twentieth day of April in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty-five.

Senior Promenade
,41111r 1' is not due to egotism that we say that the Senior Prom of 1925 was an entire success, socially and otherwise. We can truthfully say that it was equal, if not superior, to any Prom of years gone by.
IiThe Town Hall was transformed into a veritable fairyland with bright colored streamers and cleverly decorated booths. Worthy Hill's Orchestra of Hartford furnished inspiring music for the followers of Terpsichore. An excellent lunch was served during the intermission and then dancing was resumed with more pep and fun thap ever. Three o'clock came much too soon and it was with regret that the couples slowly wende:d their way home, thus ending, as we have said before, a very successful and enjoyable Prom.
Middle Class
As we approach our third milestone, a general retrospect finds us, the Class of 1926, far different from the humble group of Juniors who were banded together nearly three years ago. The passing of this time has increased our size, and, developing year by year, we now find ourselves supporting the burden of the school's affairs in every branch. From amongst ourselves we have prominently upheld Williston in scholarship, athletics, and school activities; and now we feel ready to take the places of those who soon will leave behind them the "campus and the old elm tree."

Junior Middlers
"They stand for all that every Williston man should be."
I-IE Junior Middle Class this year represents a "joyful medium" between fellows of high scholastic ability and excellent athletic worthiness.
We of the Junior Middle Class find in our midst the following list of athletes: "Add" Smith, a fighting football and tennis man ; "Red" McCarthy, a football and basketball player; "Don" Retallick, leader of the orchestra and a line-bucking "slip of a fellow" of two hundred and thirty pounds;"Al" Goodman and MacGregor, hockey; Earl, soccer and track, and Boutillier, Haas and Perry, track men.
"Al" Perry was able to garner First Honors during the year, while Randall, MacGregor, MacFarland, and Sachse received second honors. Kaplan, a convincing, clear, and promising speaker, won the J. P. Williston prize- speaking contest.
Taken as a whole, the Junior Middle Class of this year is going on into the Middle Class, invested with the spirit, enthusiasm, and learning of two years at Williston, determined to do their best as Middlers, to uphold the high standards of the school, and to work ever-upward.

Football
1LLISTON'S 192-1 eleven was the best football team representing the school in recent years. Coach Crowther's first call for men brought out about sixty gridiron warriors, among which were seven of last year's team, namely, Crosby, Aiken, Fraunfelter, Sloan, Bingham, Lockwood and Capt-elect Bunyan. Towards the middle of the season, Bunyan was forced to leave school, but his place as captain was ably filled by "Maj." Crosby. A great quantity of new material also appeared, of which the most promising were Slate, Miller, Nicholson, Brine, Reed and Smith.
Williston, with a very light but fast aggregation, began the season by holding Springfield College Freshmen, a heavier and more experienced team, to a scoreless tie. The following Saturday, in what was perhaps the hardest earned victory of the year, they met and defeated Clark School 13 to, 7.
Throughout the entire season Williston played good, hard, aggressive football against teams all of which outweighed her to a considerable extent. There were no outstanding stars, although Crosby, Captain-elect for 1925, deserves a great deal of credit for the team's excellent showing.
With three victories and three ties out of six games played, the team journeyed to Worcester hoping to take a fall out of their great rivals. However, they were doomed to disappointment, as Worcester was far superior in all departments of the game and we were easily defeated.
Let us hope that next year, with eight letter men and a number of this year's splendid second squad, all under the excellent tutelage of Coaches Crowther and Hance, we will reach our objective by defeating Worcester.

HEN the call for basketball men was issued soon after the Thanksgiving recess, only two letter men, Aiken and Fraunfelter, were among the forty candidates who reported. The team was unfortunate in losing the former of the two, who was forced, because of illness, to drop the game, soon after the start of the season. But, with one regular and a good quantity of new material, Coach Hance soon whipped his squad into shape. "Doggie" Fraunfelter was chosen to lead the 1924-25 team, which, with himself at guard, was composed of Messier, his running mate, Slate at center and Kellogg and Van Cott in the forward positions. Among the available substitutes, who were ever ready to fill a regular's berth, were, Howgate, Lockwood, MacShane, MacCarthy, Stevens and Richardson.
The season opened with a defeat at the hands of the fastest Springfield College Freshman team produced in many years. After this defeat, Williston hit their stride, winning six consecutive battles before again bowing to the Frosh team at Springfield. One of the most impressive victories was the conquering of the hitherto unbeaten Deerfield quintet by the score of 39-27. This turned out to be the only defeat suffered by Deerfield throughout the season, Williston falling a victim to their tall giants later in the year.
A big disappointment was felt throughout the school when Worcester, with a heavier but not a better or more sportsmanlike team, gave us the low end of a 31-26 score in a hard-fought game at Worcester.
Mr. Fiance with the aid of Mr. Rogers turned out an exceptionally good squad and with Kellogg, Messier, Slate and five of the second team back next year, the prospects look bright for a successful court season.
Albert "Babe" Slate of Springfield, high scorer of the year and the leading center in New England Prep. Schools was elected captain for 1925-26.

The Baseball Team
Baseball
jIOb•' N past years, Williston has always boasted of a fairly good baseball nine. It has always had a team that would give practically any New England "Prep" School team a good fight for victory. The fact that the school does not give athletic scholarships presents its teams' standing in higher light. Last year, the team defeated its great rival, Worcester, by the most decisive score of 10 to 3. This year, another such victory, which brought a successful season to a close, was forthcoming.
At the beginning of the season, the outlook for a winning team was not too favorable. Only three regulars and one substitute of last year's team were on hand to take berths while no new players of much repute presented themselves. But, as the days wore on, Coach Crowther, who was, by the way, then coaching baseball at Williston for the first year, rounded out a snappy, dependable infield, while the outfield consisted of some stellar players. At the start of the season, the hurler's position was fairly weak, but during the season, a pitcher by the name of Slate, one of the best that Williston has had and probably the best "prep" school pitcher at the time, showed up. Having this position well taken care of, the team came to its best. But, unfortunate as it was, Slate was forced to leave school about a week before the big game with Worcester. Having lost their pitcher, the team lost confidence and feared the worst at the hands of their old rival. Luckily and happily, the team showed forth with the best performance of the season, and came back with a 2 to 0 win.
The outstanding players of the season were Slate and Somerville, though no praise is lacking the infield as a whole. Since only three men will be lost by graduation, a very successful season for the coming year is hoped and expected.

Track Team
1924 Track
HE 1924 track squad was ably coached by Oosting and Converse, crack sprinters of Springfield College. The first call for candidates brought out but three letter men, Capt. Mallery, star quarter miler; Bermant, a weight thrower, and Sloan, who, because of injuries, could not participate in any of the meets. Besides the letter men, there were three substitutes, Kalasinsky, Jenney and Franklyn. Among the new material who made good were, Wells and McCormick in the dashes, Lassiter in the high jump, Yates, a consistent winner in the hurdles, Reed with the weights, and Lamson in the pole vault and hurdles.
The track season opened with the triangular meet against Loomis and Deerfield at Loomis. It was Williston's first meet, and with very few men, mostly new material, they did not make a very creditable showing, finishing in third place.
The meet with M. A. C. Freshmen was close and exciting, not being decided until the final event, which, although being won by Lamson of Williston, gave the Meet to M. A. C. on second and third places, 50 to 49. The third and final match of the year was against Central High of Springfield, which was won by Williston by a substantial margin.
The 1925 team with Capt.-elect Jenney, Wells, Lamson, Mallery and Reed, sure point winners who are returning to school, should bring greater success to Williston.
On Sawyer Field, May 22, all the athletes of the school turned out for the annual Kennedy Meet. The Class of '25 won first place, while "Buddy" Kilner, '25, all around athlete, scored individual honors by capturing the highest number of points.

Soccer
Astrong group of last year's letter men and first string substitutes, together with a group of about thirty new men, most of whom were inexperienced, was the available material at the outset of the soccer season. Among the letter men were Captain Richardson, Howgate, Farwell, Mallery, Reed, and C. Yuan, about whom Coach McElroy of Springfield College built up a team whose record is well worth mentioning. The team was victorious in six of the seven games played against far more experienced teams. It failed to make a win against the strong Wilbraham team which has not yet been beaten by us in the short time that it has been our opponent. Among the defeated teams were Springfield College Freshmen and Holyoke, both of which hold high soccer honors. Des Roches, Kellogg, Messier, C. Yuan, Richardson, and Zawacki showed up well throughout the season.
Although soccer has just recently been introduced at Williston, it is fast becoming a popular sport. Two years ago when it made its "entree," two games were lost and this year only one. Next year with the expected return of Captain-elect Messier, Des Roches, Kellogg, and Earl, an even better outcome is expected.
Most of the team's success is due to the able coaching of Coach McElroy with the faithful assistance throughout the year of Profs. Boardman and Rogers.

Hockey
AT the beginning of the hockey season, prospects for a winning team looked fairly favorable. Two veterans, Captain Little and Reed, and a few substitutes were all that remained of last year's team. With these few players and some promising new material about which to build his team, Principal Galbraith, with the unceasing aid of Professor Lossonc, soon rounded out a machine-like outfit. Although there turned out to be no outstanding star, it was a strong team in every meaning of the word.
Out of twelve games scheduled, six were played; and of these six, three were performed on soft ice. The team bowed its head only to the undefeated Deerfield sextet. Two games were lost, both by very close scores. Much was due to the lack of practise, caused by soft ice before both games.
Only two men will be lost by graduation, so that much is expected of next year's puck-chasers.

1924 Tennis
AT the outset of the 1924 season prospects seemed rather gloomy. Captain-elect Hogue had left school and Aiken was the only veteran from the previous team. To be sure, there were vague rumors floating around that talented tennis players were in our midst, but rumors, except in this case, never have failed to fail.
From the new material which presented itself, were chosen Every, Lockwood, Smith, Daggett and C. Yuan. Due to almost continual ineligibility, Lockwood, a proficient net-man, was seldom able to play. Every, a southpaw artist, showed excellent form and held number two position throughout the season. Smith, Daggett and C. Yuan were potential powers and alternated as third and fourth men. Fromen, a latecomer, took part in some of the doubles contests during the latter part of the season.
The team, after losing the first scholastic encounter to Loomis, won or tied nine out of the remaining ten matches, the only defeat being administered by Worcester. The brilliant playing of Captain Aiken was the feature of the year.
With only Every and Fromen graduating, and Aiken, Lockwood, Smith, Daggett and C. Yuan returning to school, prospects for an eminently successful 1925 season are in store.

The Student Council
HE Student Council was first organized four years ago, to have an apparent ruling over the student body; to have charge of the social affairs; and to see that the "Bucks" stay within the bounds set for them. At first it was but a name; now it has come to be a powerful factor in our everyday life. Since the "Y" has charge of the social side of activities, it has become part of the Council's work to handle the more significant problems in student and faculty relationship.
The strength of the Council lies in its effort to guide and govern student conduct. Cases of discipline and other similar infractions of school rules have been handled well and sufficiently by this body, and for the first time since its formation, has petty gambling been absolutely stamped out. Evils and waywardness in conduct that are likely to lead to disciplinary action are eradicated before this discipline is required, thereby benefiting both the boy and the school. This does not mean that the Student Council has not the expelling power in its hands, for it has done so twice this year. May it be noted here that the faculty has co-operated with the Council in all of its actions. It is the constant objective of this selected group of boys to keep a fellow student in school by changing his attitude, rather than expel him.
More so this year than ever have the faculty and Student Council combined their forces in the best interests of Williston; and let us sincerely hope that the good work of this vital force will not end with the class of 1925.

The "Y" Cabinet
Williston Log ();
Y.M.C.A.
N every school it is necessary for one body to look after the social activities within the school itself and it is for the purpose of promoting these activities that the "Y" at Williston exists. The work of this organization begins early in the fall when it holds a reception at the principal's home for the entire student body. New and old men become acquainted and the new boy is given his first glimpse of school life. A few days later at the "Buck" party held in the gym, the new fellows formally become members of the student body and from this time on are considered Williston men.
Other social affairs are held at appropriate times throughout the year but the real features of the "Y's" work are the rally-banquets held before each Worcester game and sometimes before the opening game of a season. The cheering is almost incessant; spirit runs high and the athletic teams are given a confidence and support absolutely necessary to assure a victory.
During the past year members of the cabinet attended various prepschool conferences at which schools throughout the country were represented. Problems concerning secondary school life were discussed and ideas and experiences dealing with the same were presented.
Upon considering the work of the year we find that it has been successful. This success is due in great part to the interest of the cabinet and the enthusiasm shown by faculty advisor Prof. C. E. Rouse.
The "Y" cabinet is as follows:
JAMES F. GARVEY—President F. A LBER]' AUK EN—Vice-President

The Drainat
Dramatic Club
HIS year a new program of productions was tried and found successful. In the fall term three "try-out" plays were given in the gym under student management and direction. The respective abilities of the fellows shown in these performances determined the casts for the three one-act performances in that term. "Trash" and "The Man Without a Head," two serious plays, together with "A Late Delivery," the comedy, constituted the fall term work.
The winter term also brought an innovation in the form of the replacement of the usual three-act play by three one-act pieces. The reason for this is explained by the fact that the smaller plays give more chance for perfection and that they are generally of a: better type than the larger ones which usually run into low comedy farces. Thus, the club gave "The Zone Police," "Two Crooks and a Lady," and "The Romancers" as its winter program.
The credit for the success of these plays goes entirely to the two men whose untiring efforts have made a club which is yet to be beaten—Coach Boardman and Asst. Coach White.

The Glee Club
The Glee Club
HE Glee Club has seen one of the most successful and happiest seasons that the academy has had for many a year. A club of thirtyfive fellows with plenty of spirit and co-operation mixed with genuine fun and good sportsmanship has helped to create a better and more wholesome school-spirit, as well as to publish the name of Williston beyond the narrow limits of our own little school-town.
Within the short space of one term—the winter term—this group was so whipped into shape that on March 6th in the town hall, a full program of sixteen numbers was given, each number bringing its share of appreciative applause from the unusually large crowd of townspeople who attended. .
After the concert, the fellows were so proud of themselves that the suggestion was made that we try to arrange for a broadcasting engagement from Springfield. After a trial rehearsal at the radio studio the deal was put through and on June first, the Club is to journey to WBZ in the Hotel Kimball to tell to the world the graces and genius of the finest prep school in the Connecticut Valley—good old Williston.
Besides other small functions for which the Club has given entertainment, the year will be climaxed by . a few selections at the Alumni-Senior banquet, the night before Commencement. Such success this year will certainly make possible an excellent start next year, toward which everyone looks with keen interest because of the promise of the trip to the Interscholastic Competition in New York where we expect to wrest the crown from Worcester.
The Orchestra
The Orchestra and Specialty Numbers
HE "Dream Boys," as our orchestra has fittingly been named, have certainly given their share of enjoyment to the school this year. They gave the "pep" to two of our tea-dances in the gym, and even became so popular as to receive engagements from Smith and Mt. Holyoke for Saturday night dances. With Retallick as the guiding star on the saxophone, Mr. Rogers, Cupp, Hawes, Stetson and Stacy have indeed .created a team that would be a credit to any school.
"Red" Bennett, a reader par excellence, was a most distinctive and entertaining member of our Club: "Al" Aiken, with the sweetest voice in school, Messrs' Retallick and Nixon, with the best wits in school, and the quartette, with all the different kinds of "bull-frogs," helped to put punch and "pep" into the various feature numbers.
As a reward for their co-operation, each member of the entire club was presented with an appropriate Williston charm.

NTEREST in debating at Williston has increased considerably during 7 1.!
the past four years and as a result of this interest the Adelphi society has completed a most successful season. At the regular weekly meetings held every Friday evening during the fall and winter terms, local and national questions were discussed in formal debates and open dis.cussions. The members of Adelphi profited by their experience in the society as is shown by the fact that four of the six men on the debating team were Adelphians.
The society brought its season to a fitting close when it won the annual joint debate with Gamma Sigma thereby gaining another claim on the F. C. cup and winning the athletic association prize of twenty-five dollars.
The officers of Adelphi were as follows:

RIOR to this year the "Log" was handicapped by the lack of some sort of an organization upon which it could rely for its "cuts." Mr. Hance noticed this and chose eight fellows upon whom he could rely to furnish the much-needed drawings. A meeting was held and by a unanimous vote, the organization was named Beaux Arts. Election of officers was held and resulted as follows: McGrath, president, and Mallery, secretary. The working system of the club at present is on a competitive basis.
