MOM CHOW ASANI

Bangkok, Siam

Entered third year; Soccer (3).

Harvard

When Asani arrived a little before the middle of last year, he was a newcomer not only to Williston but to the United States as well, his not over-plentiful supply of ready English having been acquired from a British tutor. Although volumes on volumes inches thick could be written about his demeanour, necessarily naive at first, it will be enough to say that without him the senior class would not be quite the same.

ALLAN P. AYERS, JR.

Al

710 Jefferson Avenue, Elizabeth, New Jersey

Entered fourth year; Glee Club (4); Dramatic Club (4).

Rutgers University

What is behind those masterful grey eyes? Why, of course, Ayers. This is a man who is by habit silent, but when he talks, as those in his English class are well aware, he talks. In spite of those other qualities of his, qualities which are the topic of many envious discussions among those who happen to have extreme good fortune to be acquainted with him, his chief claim to renown is his dramatic talent.

PERCY ORMOND BANKS

Ormy

in Liberty Street, Newburgh, New York

Entered second year.

Wesleyan

Since September, 1920, the only appreciably loud noise heard from Ormy was the clumping of his crutches on South Hall stairs as warily he approached his classes. At the beginning of his senior year he was reduced to this inefficient method of locomotion by reason of his football endeavours, the accident being more than a purely personal loss. He has been withal a throroughly acceptable chap and beyond all possibility of doubt a good listener.

JOHN MORTON BARNABY

Jack Oradell, New Jersey

Entered fourth year; Adelphi (4); WorcesterWilliston Debating Team (4); Glee Club (4); Chairman of the Flag Committee.

Harvard

We can say with a conviction born of long acquaintance that Jack is a mighty good fellow. He has an intelligence, a perceptiveness, a sympathy, and a good nature that have made him markedly popular. We have always noticed that his response was quick and satisfying to the cry of'Got a butt?' A debater of ability, and a tennis player of more ability, he ought to be a liked and known man at Harvard.

H. STOCKTON BOYD

Socks

Enterprise, Oregon

Entered fourth year; Football (4); Secretary of Adelphi; Gift Committee. Pi Beta Pi.

Wesleyan

Rather short but with the strength almost of Atlas, as game as a she-tiger defending her cubs, endowed with a happy smile that is spared on practically no occasion, energetic, and red haired —this is a portrait of Socks complete save for an engaging personality that cannot be caught in mere words. The man has made friends right and left, and of them not one has viewed with pleasure the inevitable separation in June.

GYSBERT

Patterson, New Jersey

Entered fourth year.

Yale

Here is a man, who no matter what he may choose to do in the world will succeed. Some day We expect to see him owning the Kresge chain stores. He has kept practically to himself, been quiet and unassuming. His name, which was written upon the Friday and Sunday list at the beginning of the year, has been there so frequently that it has become as much a fixture as Gamma ' Sigma.

BOUMA

FREDERIC

M. BRODIE, JR. Steve

309 Guy Park Avenue, Amsterdam, New York

Entered fourth year; Adelphi (4); Flag Committee.

Harvard

Steve's one and inseparable companion is the Easthampton town library, that last resting place of defunct pseudo-literature. If the hours he has spent there were totalled, they would bridge the gap between now and the death of Ulysses S.(rant and be of as much avail. His English mark, has been raised no inconsiderable amount through this self-culture, and we may prophesy that some day he will be a raging success.

CHARLES VAN WYCK BROOKS

Chili Brooksie Charley

87 King Street, Westport, Connecticut

Entered second year; Willistonian (2)(3)(4); Editor-in-Chief (4); Adelphi(2)(3); Manager of Soccer (4); Hockey Squad (3) (4); North Hall House Committee (4); Student Council (3) (4); Log Board. Pi Beta Pi.

Harvard

To speak of Brooksie without waxing panegyrical is an impossibility; frustrated by the inadequacy of superlatives, one lapses hopelessly into haplography. Whether he be participating in a vehmgericht of the Student Council, or superintending the conglutination of the Willistonian, one is always conscious of his compelling presence—and always pleasantly conscious. When some fellows graduate we are conscious that a hole is left; when 13rooksie leaves us, the place will seem like a Swiss cheese.

WILLIAM PELHAM BROWN Pel

740 Webster Street, Needham, Massachusetts

Entered third year; Football (3)(4); Adelphi (3) (4); Student Council (4); Chairman of the Prom Committee. Iota Zota.

Colgate

This big boy is so utterly unassuming that one would scarcely believe him to be one of our very best football men; such, however is the case. In fact, it would not be a bit surprising some day to find his name among the all-American choices. This prowess, to be sure, is not all that recommends him: his personality is such that of all the men at Ford he has the largest circle of friends.

EMMONS BRYANT, JR. Em

528 North Broadway, Yonkers, New York

Entered second year; Tennis (2) (3) (4); Hockey Squad (4); Y Cabinet(3)(4); Dramatic Club (3) (4); Gamma Sigma (3) (4); Athletic Advisory Board (3); Prom Committee; Log Board. Pi Beta Pi. Amherst

Under the rather short cognomen of'Em' goes the man in the senior class the most interested in others and the most willing to lend a wholehearted helping hand. Ever since his arrival three years ago he has been not only a wholly admired fellow but also one who has under a conditions shown the utmost consideration toward others. It is to be hoped that frequently he will return to see his old friends.

CHAMRAS CHAYABONGSE

Chay Bangkok, Siam

Entered third year; Soccer (3) (4); Adelphi (3) (4); Willistonian (4); Log Board.

M. I. T.

It has always been taken for granted that we of America are outstanding in personality and ability; ('hay, however, is a Siamese boy who has surpassed all save one or two of us. Along with a certain ingenuity and knack of writing well there is in him an unusual frankness and friendliness which have given him an especial place in our hearts and memories. We wish him all the success and joy there is in life.

FRANK W. CIMINI

Frankie Pittsfield, Massachusetts

Entered fourth year. Gamma Sigma. Williams

Frank is a strong and silent man from Pittsfield; the first two facts are to his undeniable credit, but as to the third some say yes, some say no. His major successes have been scholastic, so successful and so scholastic that the Friday and Sunday list has been almost continuously honored by his name. This is one more man whose departure cannot conceivably be more a gain to his college than a loss to us.

The 1 0 2 8

SPENCER CLAYTON

Spence

Yonkers, New York

Entered third year; Tennis (3) (4); Flag Committee. Pi Beta Pi.

Yale

Spence is the most valued member of the Yonkers contingent, and saying that, we do not fail to bear in mind that the others are of no mean rank. Through the whole of two years he has done his work with consistent capability but in comparative silence; his tennis is of a grade superior to any displayed here in many summers. Those who know him know him as an interesting companion and a loyal friend.

PHILIP A. COLEMAN

Phil

104 Sargent Street, Melrose, Massachusetts

Entered third year; Glee Club (4); Soccer (4); Hockey (4); Log Board. Iota Zeta.

M. I. T.

Phil's introduction to the limelight was in the role of heroine of a blood and thunder melodrama. He is, nevertheless, better known as the other Melrose twin, one of two able supporters of their home town. A whisper to the effect that the performance of the Melrose hockey team just fails to attain its reputed finesse is the practical equivalent of a death warrant. Melrose or not, however, his departure will cause no few pangs.

KENNETH CLIFFORD COSTINE

Ken

15 Green Street, Lebanon, New Hampshire

Entered fourth year; Dramatics (4).

Worcester Tech

Ken, may it be noticed, is the type of careful person who is never able to speak his mind without first making sure of his ground, certainly a thing that is greatly to his credit. In spite of those other qualities of his, qualities which are the topic of Knany envious discussions among those who happen to have the extreme good fortune to be acquainted with him, his chief claim to renown is rooming with Ayres.

TRACY DARLING

Trace

411 East Broadway, Port Jefferson, New York

Entered fourth year; Winter Track (4). Baseball (4).

Yale

Tracy is a man about whom it is hard to say much of anything. Being somewhat a recluse, his characteristics are in the main recondite. By the spark of genius directly beneath the fourteenth eyelash of his left eye, however, we can tell he is rather an intellectual; of more we are uncertain. At any rate, Trace is an all-around mighty good fellow, and we are proud to have him in the class of 't8.

ROLAND J. DesROCHES

Dee Charlestown, New Hampshire

Entered third year; Soccer (4); Baseball (3) (4); Adelphi (3) (4); Student Council (4); South Hall House Committee (4); Log Board. Sigma Eta Delta.

Harvard

Dee was certainly confronted with a herculean task in keeping up the exemplary record of his illustrious brother. That he did this is evidenced by his varied list of achievements. He is one of those rare men who is equally proficient on the athletic field and in the classroom, not forgetting his extra-curriculum activities. Dee will matriculate at Harvard along with several other Williston luminaries of which he will be one of the outstanding.

JOHN E. DEE

Johnny

186 Pleasant Street, Brockton, Massachusetts

Entered third year; Football (3)(4); Hockey (3) (4); Baseball (3)(4); Captain (4); Student Council (4); Charm Committee; Vice-President of the Senior Class. Sigma Eta Delta.

Brown

Regarding Johnny's local career his activity list alone is sufficiently emphatic to render such minor paeans of praise as this distinctly superfluous. From Brockton he emigrated with recommendations fatal to the average performer, but his utterly brilliant successes in three diverse fields of athletics have fulfilled even the most sanguine prophecies. Since loyalty, uprightness, and good-naturedness are among his further qualities, we cannot but hope Williston gets more of his type—if it can.

WILLIAM S. DILLON

Palmer Bill

30 Squier Street, Palmer, Massachusetts

Entered third year; Glee Club (3)(4); Charm Committee.

Yale

In the whole of these Vereinigten Staaten but one town counts: Palmer. Bill must be the foremost exponent of Palmerism at large, for with the aid of his gift for publicity he has made us all cognizant of if not in accord with his major premise given severl lines above. Partisanship aside, however, Bill is one of these men whom by virtue of their humour and consideration it is a blessing to have as neighbours.

JAMES M. DUNLAP

Jim

135 West Fifth Street, Oswego, New York

Entered fourth year; Adelphi (4); Log Board, Art Editor.

M. I. T.

'Great things,' once said Paul Whiteman,come in small packages: Look at me.' Except for the final statement this is quite true of Jimmy. No one will doubt his deficiency in physical structure—a deficiency, let us add, that in no way minimizes his attractiveness and charm— but at the same time those who know him cannot with a clear conscience deny the capability and thoroughness with which he does whatever work is given him.

EDMUND L. EVELETH

Skip

111 l'arkwood Boulevard,Schenectady,New York

Entered second year; Dramatic Club (3) (4); Gamma Sigma (3) (4); Willistonian (3) (4); Baseball Manager (4); North Hall House Committee (4). Pi Beta Pi. Log Board.

Yale

It may be because of the man himself, it may be because he comes from Schenectady—since all the fellows here from that district have been of an excellent sort—but at any rate Skip is one of the most popular figures about school. His outstanding business ability, capitalized by three major organizations, and his distinct likeability together with this popularity of his, have made him the senior whose departure will occasion the most regrets. h

RAYMOND FERNANDES

Ray

South Dartmouth, Massachusetts

Entered third year; Football (3) (4); Track Squad (3) (4); Adelphi (3) (4); Glee Club (4); Chairman of the Charm Committee. Iota Zeta.

Brown

Silence, despite its proverbial worthiness, has in the case of Ray forestalled any reading of his inner character. There is yet, however, a great deal we might mention. His football performances are infinitely above reproach and only less infinitely above comparison. Football, nevertheless, really does not seem to be the all-important factor in his life; he has had the time, inclination, and ability to join divers organizations and to acquire many and true friends.

PRESTON GRANT

Pres

27 Union Street, Easthampton, Massachusetts

Entered fourth year; Adelphi (4).

Brown

Brown will receive a scholar and a hard worker when Pres, tearing himself away from this happy home, arrives at Providence at the end of this next summer. Only a year has he been among us; but we know him well, quiet, modest, and not like some, unobtrusive. His distinguishing characteristic is his walk, which is putting it mildly, rapid. This is a man whose memory will not die out soon: he is a gentleman.

PAUL A. HAMEL'

Paul

503 State Street, Springfield, Massachusetts

Entered third year; Football (3) (4); Track (3) (4); Captain (4); Harvard Book Prize (3); Glee Club (3) (4); Orchestra (3) (4); Gamma Sigma (3) (4); Athletic Advistory Board (4); Y Cabinet (4); South Hall Council (4); Student Council (4); Prom Committee; Log Board. Iota Zeta.

Wesleyan

Versatility personified: that's Paul. His apparent gift is to win universal honours. Apart from a surpassingly large number of conquests he has been the while the very best of fellows cheerful, companionable, reassuring. His membership in the Y, the South Hall Council, and the Student Council is but corroboration of the fact that he is reliable and trustworthy. It is men of his stamp that have kept the school activities and organizations alive and going.

ALBION GIFFORD HART

Al

198 Calvin Street, Fall River, Massachusetts

Entered third year; Dramatic Club (3) (4); Glee Club (4); Adelphi (3) (4); Secretary (3); President (4); Willistonian (3)(4); Prom Committee; Log Board. Pi Beta Pi.

Dartmouth

Al is a poet—and what a poet!—but because of certain other qualities most of us have been able to forgive him freely. He is indisputably the smoothest of the smooth, and, as we know, it is only the smooth that win the fair—no matter who deserve to. Al is a person whose very presence creates envy in the rest of us who can lay no such claims as his to universal attractiveness.

NORVAL R. HOUSTON

Venus Norm 35 Dartmouth Road, Mountain Lakes, New Jersey

Entered first year; Glee Club (2) (3) (4); Gamma Sigma (1)(2)(3)(4); Track (2)(3)(4); Soccer (4); Charm Committee. Carnegie Tech

Venus—and we speak with the irrefutable voice of authority—is beyond question the most delightfully good-looking boy in school. Not only that, he is a tenor of distinct superiority, never at a loss musically whether with the Glee Club before a New York audience or in a shower quite alone. By virtue of an engaging personality he has probably done during his four years incalculable good in making his fellows' lives a pleasure.

FRANCIS S. HOWE

Pedro

t41 I3uckminster Road, Brookline, Massachusetts

Entered fourth year; Soccer (4); Track (4). Harvard

Pedro is a magician. Set before him the most abstruse problem in physics, and at his thaumaturgic touch the figures seemingly arrange themselves into a clarified path to the answer. In other words, someone needs come to the aid of Mr. Putnam's notorious examinations. Although the distinction of being the one 'And How' is not his, the combined air of omniscience and amiability which is held to emanate from his person is nowise impaired.

T e j,c)

WARREN KELLOG

Kel

14 Eaton Court, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts

Entered fourth year.

Harvard

This youth has blue eyes and curly hair, qualifications which render him no less than wholly acceptable to the supposedly fairer sex. Not on these alone, however, is based his indisputable popularity with a majority of his hall-mates: when at about midnight two or three are gathered together and a footstep is heard coming down the corridor, it is none other than Kel who suggests that the light be turned out. Resourcefulness, that's it.

CARLTON EDWARD KNIGHT

Carl

141 Moraine Street, Brockton, Massachusetts

Entered fourth year; Track (4); Glee Club (4); Flag Committee.

Dartmouth

At the start of the year Carl came into our midst from Andover. He has, ever since, shown himself to be worthy of the tradition of that school: he is a gentleman. His presence is a sure addition. Who has not seen him clearing those hurdles to finish with a margin that has made opponents sad? He has, furthermore, a good voice and can play an organ with ability.

BENJAMIN de T. LAMBERT

Ben

70 Wannalancit Street, Lowell, Massachusetts

Entered fourth year; Gamma Sigma (4).

Boston University

Ben is not an athlete of a superior type; we admit that. He can, nevertheless, render most of the others wholly blotto when it comes to achieving a slightly higher mark in any one or, as far as that matters, every class. At few times of the year has his name been a stranger to the Friday and Sunday list, an honour higher than which only the creme de la crème of the intelligentsia can climb.

CHARLES N. LITTLE

Charlie Stickey Gneius

70 Orchard Street, Rockville, Connecticut

Entered third year; Soccer Squad (3) (4); North Hall House Committee (4); Log Board, Treasurer.

Yale

When a man is delegated the position of treasurer to this opulent publication, one may rest assured that his honesty is above suspicion. Gneius is obviously the incumbent referred to. Still more, however, can we say. Although not a born advertiser he has accomplished the admirable feat of drawing local attention to Rockville. His path will be a continued rise if his behaviour elsewhere is as exemplary as here. Yale's gain is surely our loss.

JAMES MERRILL MACFARLAND

Mac McPush

95 Ball Road, Mountain Lakes, New Jersey

Entered first year; Glee Club (1) (i) (3); Willistonian (1) (%) (3); Y Cabinet (3) (4); Delegation to Blairstown Conference (t)(3)(4); Delegate to Amherst Conference (4); Hockey Manager (3) (4); Athletic Advisory Board (3); Gift Committee. Gamma Sigma.

Princeton

'Ha! Sir!' No one in the world ever has said or could say this with just that effect attained by J. Merrill Macfarland. Mac's true vocation, unfortunately, is lost; that of king's jester. His supply of wit and funny noises is positively unlimited. For or in spite of this as the case may be we all love him like a babe in arms, and his absence will leave a crying vacancy in our hearts. 'Ha!'

ROBERT ROWLAND MATHEWS

Bob

153 Hemenway Street, Boston, Massachusetts

Entered first year; Willistonian (1)(i)(3) (4); Sporting Editor (3); Associate Editor (4); Birchall Prize (e); Log Board, Editor-in-Chief.

Yale

Bob has got more out of Williston than any other student. In making this apparently rash statement we bear in mind more than his reputed scholastic attainments. His work on the Willistonian—not to mention the Log—has given him a style equalled only by the highest grade of newspaper sports writers, and it is his accounts of games in Boston and Springfield journals that have done much toward making Williston a well-known school.

ARNOLD MELBYE

Reddy

138 Cliff Road, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts

Entered fourth year; Gamma Sigma (4); Hockey (4); Flag Committee. Pi Beta Pi.

Middlebury

Reddy's eternal cheerfulness and fellowship make him the sort of person without which life at school, or for that matter anywhere, would be incomplete. On the ice he is a dream, a Lindbergh on skates as it were; a puck entrusted to him is in the majority of cases a puck kept from the opponents. We might wish him the best of luck at Middlebury, but such is the man that it is quite unnecessary.

STEWART L. MORSE

Stewie

Woodstock, Connecticut

Entered third year; Football (3) (4); Track (3) (4); Dramatic Club (3)(4); Gamma Sigma (3) (4); South Hall Council (4); Gift Committee.

Boston University

A welcome addition is Stewie to the small crowd of South Hall men who can be classed not only as smooth but also as helpful. Our word may be taken for the first statement—not to mention his picture, itself a persuasive argu- ment—and a well-rounded activity list for the second. We have less hesitation in saying it of him than we would of anyone else: he is and always will be an asset.

PETER O'KULSKY

Pete

Easthampton, Massachusetts

Entered third year; Baseball Squad (3) (4); Basketball (3) (4); Football (3) (4). •

Colgate

Sempiternal fame among the Easthamptonites is Pete's reward for yielding himself to Mr. Crowther's football team as a human battering ram. Whenever it was imperative to gain several yards in a down, this boy rushed through with the ball, puncturing the hostile defence for all the world as a child would a large pink balloon. His time, nevertheless, has not always been occupied thus; the great number of his school friends proves the fact. 1 2 8

FRANK E. O'NEIL

Hank

143 East Main Street, Rockville, Connecticut

Entered first year; Soccer (I); Gamma Sigma (1)(i)(3)(4); Secretary (1) (i); President (3) (4); Gift Committee, Chairman.

Colgate

Hank is one of the older boys and consequently has something frequently omitted in a student's make-up, namely, a level head. No childish pranks for him,—that is, pas souvent—for he is among the few really trusted. About the campus he has been noted for his general air of good humour, and throughout his four years' stay he has been that not quite altogether usual variety of person, an exponent of fair play.

ANDREW W. ORLOWSKI

Bud

Rockville, Connecticut

Entered fourth year; Gamma Sigma (4); South Hall Council (4).

Yale

Bud is one of the most distinguished members of the Rockville delegation. This is, no doubt, partially because he has the most pleasing personality and partially because his studies are with one exception the highest in school. He has been always agreeable, ready for a laugh; never has he been caught in a recalcitrant mood. With these indicated qualities we may be confident that his course in life will be a smooth and rising one.

BURTON POWERS

Pouvoir

Northampton, Massachusetts

Entered third year; Winter Sports (3) (4); Captain (4); Dramatics (3) (4); Adelphi (3) (4); Log Board, Williston-Worcester Debating

Harvard

Burt is par excellence the foremost undergraduate speaker and actor at Williston; he has a smoothness in these lines that is possessed by no other speaker in debates; in fact, it is only his speeches that make attendance worthy of anticipation; in dramatics he is the premier attraction. Someday his name will be in large electric letters over a theatre doorway—and in the meantime we must not forget his splendid work in arousing a victorious spirit in the Winter Sports team.

STANLEY RIMMER

Stan

123 Minden Street,Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts

Entered fourth year; Soccer (4); Gamma Sigma (4).

Cornell

Aha! What have we but an Englishman! It is really, a positive relief to hear English as it should be spoken. Aside from his linguistic talent, Stan is a man from whom little is heard, that little, however, meaning far more than much from others. We feel that he has something above the ordinary tucked away in that Sphinx-like brain of his, and we wish him the best of luck in bringing it forth.

FRED CARL ROESSLER

Fred Carl 910 State Street, New Haven, Connecticut

Entered fourth year; Track (4).

Yale

New Haven's gift to Mr. Putnam is Fred. Certainly in this instance the partial home of the N. Y., N. H. & H. has shown itself to be no niggard. Carl's prowess at track, his ability to run numberless times around a wooden ellipse for the glory of the alma mater, is paralleled only by his renowned talent in the clean, hard, and vicious game of touch-football—a talent that has more or less endeared him to the school.

JAMES BURRILL ROUSE

Jim Jimmy 49 Glendale Avenue, South Peabody, Massachusetts

Entered second year; Secretary of the JuniorMiddle Class (2); President of the Middle Class (3); President of the Senior Class (4); Football (2) (9) (4); Captain (4); Glee Club (2) (3) (4); Y Cabinet (3) (4); Vice-President (4); Y Delegation to Wesleyan (3); Student Council (3)(4); President (4). Iota Zeta.

Jim is indubitably the big man at Williston. His presidency of the Student Council and of the Senior Class is a definite indication of the respect and admiration accorded him by every person in school. From the very day he entered as a junior-middler his path has been marked on all hands by noteworthy achievements; during his years here he has done more to uphold the proper Williston tradition than any other single man.

Pede

Wayland, Massachusetts

Entered fourth year; Football Squad (4); Track (4); Glee Club (4); Flag Committee. Wesleyan

In certain instances Williston has had marvellous good fortune in its selection of students. Paul is not the least whose very presence honours the school. He has an exceptionally capable voice advantageous to the Glee Club, and his athletic prowess as shown in football and particularly in track is no matter for scoffing. His personal attractiveness (versatile, this boy is) has made him liked by many friends and not a small number of Smith girls.

E. WELDON SCHUMACHER

Sunny Schu

Southbridge, Massachusetts

Entered third year; Football (3)(4); Basketball (3)(4); Baseball (3)(4); Athletic Advisory Board (4); Gift Committee; Log Board. Iota Zeta.

Carnegie Tech.

During two years Sunny has proved well-nigh unbeatable in whatever field he has eared to enter Squint an eye upward, reader, and remark his athletic achievements; it is rather a shame that such enviable ability as his should be condensed into a few words and a sprinkling of numbers. That, however, becomes nothing when the fact is known that Schu has been admittedly one of the few utterly reliable and wholly liked men in school.

LEWIS A. SEYBOLT

Larry

Longmeadow, Massachusetts

Entered third year; Willistonian (3) (4); Glee Club (4); Orchestra (3) (4); Adelphi (3) (4); Prom Committee; Log Board, Associate Eidtor. Pi Beta Pi. Wesleyan

Here is a versatile man, gets Friday marks, has decided literary and musical inclinations—nay, more than inclinations: he is Local Editor of the Willistonian, a prominent member of the Glee Club,and the prominent member of theOrchestra. How,besides, he has managed to be an extremely active member of the Smith Club and has gathered about him an extraordinary large number of friends,it would be indeed hard to say,but he has.

HENRY M. SHELDON Hurley

Easthampton, Massachusetts

Entered third year; Soccer (3) (4); Captain (4); Dramatic Club (3); Baseball (3) (4).

Worcester Tech.

Together with Pete O'Kulsky of sempiternal fame, Hurley has the delightful advantage of being able to combine home and school life in one glorious admixture. His athletic attainments it is, however, that have made him a man known to the rest of us, he being not only captain of soccer, but also a baseball player of repute.

DOUGLAS HOLDEN THAYER

Doug 17 Greenvale Avenue, Yonkers, New York

Entered fourth year; Tennis (4); Flag Committee.

Williams

One more Yonkers man has made himself an addition to Williston in spite of the fact that he is not of the stamp that would lay down their lives for members of the Williston Faculty. A leading luminary of the Commons Room, pool player extraordinary, a frequent ornament to the Friday and Sunday list, and invariably recognized as a good fellow, he will not be forgotten immediately he departs to a successful career at Williams.

Wesleyan

Although Pop has always been a shy, shy boy, he nevertheless has many and surpassing qualities more than sufficient to counteract this one defect. Not since his arrival has a major team at Williston been without him, a fact which, when one studies our recent successes, is no less than deeply significant. It is one of our sincere hopes that his college gains from his presence as much as we shall lose by his absence.

West Point

Mark is a splendid conception of the ideal preparatory school type; not only is he a threeletter man and as good-looking as they make 'em, but also he is unusually well endowed with a great number of quite charming characteristics. It would seem difficult indeed for him to accomplish as much as his brother, Pop, but, considering that Mark has been here but one year, he has— and that infers a great deal.

HENRY GAULT VOORHIS

Henney

River Edge Road, River Edge, New Jersey

Entered third year; Glee Club (3) (4); Dramatic Club (3) (4); Willistonian (3); Log Board.

Dartmouth

In the portrayal of feminine roles Henry stands without a compeer in Williston. Many a happy Dramatic Club presentation has been enhanced by his charming features reinforced, albeit, with a layer of make-up. His hall-mates have frequently been the better for his timely aid in mathematics and English: his dictated themes are certain winners. Not only this latter consideration but also his indisputable personality make his graduation a real loss to the school.

Voorny Bill

Entered third year; Adelphi (4).

Amherst

At frequent intervals Voorny has braved the ocean waves to come to us and—equally—to get away from us. His residence is—well, it can be seen above; there is no reason for mentioning it more times than necessary. Bill says, nevertheless, that it is an ideal spot, and who knows better? His may not be old fisherman stock, but as a staunch friend and ready companion few of us indeed would ask better.

RAYMOND H. VUNK

Ray

Amsterdam, New York

Entered fourth year; Soccer Squad (4); Track (4).

Union

Ray is a happy-faced boy yet at the same time —who could have the extraneous acumen to guess it?—he is one of the most serious occupants of South Hall. Just how this paradoxical state of affairs is achieved would be a matter of interest; perhaps rooming with Rowan has given him that pleasant expression. The least we can say is that Ray will sooner or later be an undeniable credit to the school.

ELIOT WEBSTER

Webby

Channel Road, South Portland, Maine

Entered third year; Dramatic Club (3); Track Squad (3) (4); Football Manager (4). Bowdoin

Know me, know my pipe. The two of them are fast companions. Webby arrived with his native corn-cob but has since had the sagacity to shed it for a slightly more aristocratic Milano. Immersed in football helmets no end, he is familiar to all as manager of that sport. His work during his incumbency augurs well for the future. and certainly his classmates will deny no probability of his marked success in later life.

Norris is that admirable type of fellow who, although quiet and reserved, has made any number of friends. In certain lines he has an extraordinary ability: tennis, for instance, and playing the piano. It is his facility on the keys that has in the main made the orchestra the valuable organization that it is. There can be no uncertainty that his graduation will cause, if not the most, at least the sincerest regrets of many. 1 2 8

Inimitable wit, sparkling intellect, effulgent brilliancy—what have we but Phillip Huntley Woodbridge, for three years acclaimed as the foremost of the many eminent literati of dear old Williston and—perhaps of even greater import— secretary of the undefeated Winter Sports team. Phil has this year done nobly on the Log and Willistonian, and in the Electrical Department of the Dramatic Club. We expect great things from him in this as in the execution of his other propensities next year in the City of the Dead.

GOOD coach is known not by the number of wins and losses but by the spirit of the team.

The 1927 Williston eleven will go down in history not as the best team that ever wore the Blue and Gold colors, but rather as the hardest fighting eleven in years. Coach Crowther painstakingly began at the bottom, drilling his men in the fundamentals, with the ultimate idea of molding them into a compact unit. After a few weeks' practice the line-up of the first eleven soon began to evidence itself.

Big Pel Brown, a bulwark of strength, again held down the snapperback position. Captain Rouse and Perini took the guards. This trio turned out to be the strongest part of the line, exhibiting an unassailable front to opposing line-smashers. The tackles were well taken care of by Churchill and Tyler, both of whom exhibited alert play all season. Dee, a reliable veteran end, and Paine, new to Williston football, held down the wings in exemplary style. Among the line substitutes who saw a good deal of service were Brady, Boothby, and Clark.

Hamel and Fernandes were again available for the half backs. O'Kulsky, a human battering ram, resumed the fullback position. Bob Munroe, brother of Toots, Williston's famous four-letter man, stepped into the quarterback berth. Skrowonek, J. Morse, S. Boyd, and S. Morse all took part in different games in relief roles.

Led by the redoubtable Nick Nickiewitz,the M.A. C.Junior Varsity invaded Sawyer Field for the opening game. After a hard struggle Williston took a twelve point decision, relying mainly on straight football to put across the two scores. Two facts were evidenced from this contest: first, that Williston had no dependable punter, and second, that there was no accurate short passer who could take advantage of the new rule regarding lateral passes. The next week saw Amherst Freshmen, represented by their best eleven in years, crush the Blue and Gold, twenty-six to nothing. Amherst had a better team and was aided by ragged play on the part of the visitors. Such a defeat as this would have broken the morale of most elevens. Coach Crowther, undismayed, started building all over again. A startling reversal of form was shown the next Saturday. The M.A. C. Two-Year men were absolutely outclassed and swamped, thirty-three to nothing. The next week was devoted to intensive preparation for the Deerfield game. Schumacher, a lanky Southbridge lad, had risen from the Canaries to the first team. He was a fine defensive man, and the best punter on the squad. Deerfield, with a veteran team, and an impressive record, was a pre-game favorite. The first quarter was but three minutes old, when Williston scored. Recovering a fumble at midfield, the Blue and Gold cohorts exhibited an unstopable attack. A thrust, a sweep, a pass; on they swept,coldly precise and deadly perfect. The Williston stands were in a delirium. In just five plays Munroe took the ball over. Fernandes kicked the extra point. Deerfield came back fighting. Relentlessly they pushed forward to the Williston three-yard line. First down, and three to go! Pierce smashed through to the Blue and Gold one-yard line. Warner made two feet, Third down, and twelve inches to go, Greenley was thrown for no gain. There was an awful silence as Deerfield lined up for their last try. Captain Warner hit the line with terrific force. It bent but it would not break and Williston took the ball on downs. A short kick gave the visitors still another chance. Again they pushed forth to the one foot line and again the staunch Blue and Gold cohorts refused to yield. Early in the second quarter the Green managed to take it over. Williston elected to kick off. Paine sent a long high twister into the end zone. Monroe was down fast and fell on it for a touchdown. Deerfield tied the score in the last quarter and the teams remained deadlocked at thirteen apiece. But it was a costly tie. Hamel and Munroe were both injured so as to keep them on the sidelines for the rest of the season.

Again Coach Crowther rejuvenated the team. Dee was shifted to the backfield, and Clark took Dee's place at end. The Blue and Gold easily took Suffield, thirty to nothing. But it was a different proposition in the Worcester game. The Red and Black had their best eleven in years, unscored-on, and undefeated. Led by their scintillating quarterback, Hewitt,they tallied four touchdowns and a field goal.

The record of the 1927 football eleven goes down as three victories, two defeats, and a tie. But there are some things which the records fail to show. The Blue and Gold had but one major penalty inflicted on them all season. The offside penalties totaled no more than six or eight. Clean playing and a fighting spirit such as this are more to be desired than innumerable victories.

40SING their final game of the season to Worcester, 2-1, the Soccer team completed its schedule with a record of two victories, one tie, and six defeats. This record is not deplorable, however, for despite the most chagrinning and disappointing of reverses, in every new contest, apparently inexorably predestined to defeat, the team came cheerfully forth, imbued with an unquenchable determination to win. Any team that, after losing five consecutive games to opponents of but mediocre calibre, could without warning, hand defeat to a far more experienced Deerfield eleven, and trail the strong Worcester aggregation by but a single point is surely possessed of some impelling force not indicated by the scores. When the call for candidates was issued, a large number of aspirants turned out. Mr. Ivor Birge, a Springfield college man, who formerly coached soccer in Australia, was engaged as the 1927 mentor. A thorough gentleman and a clean sportsman, he soon won the confidence and friendship of the entire squad, not to mention members of the student body with whom he came in contact. Captain Sheldon, Olsen and Monterosso were the only veterans. Practically all of the new men were inexperienced, and before the merits of the different players

COACH BIRGE

The 3 1 2 8

could be definitely ascertained, the first game took place. Holyoke High,represented by a powerful veteran team, crushed the Blue and Gold 4-1, and defeats by Deerfield 1-0, and the American International College, 4-2, followed in quick succession, interupted by a tie, 3-3, with Springfield Tech High. In this game the team exhibited a grim determination which helped them score the tieing goal in the last few minutes of play, and subsequently fight the Springfield lads to a standstill in the two overtime periods. The Springfield College Freshmen next visited Easthampton to bear away a 5-1 victory, and were followed by the Junior Varsity, who won 3-2 in an overtime game. By this time the Williston eleven, whose previous defeats had lain mainly in ragged co-ordination and lack of experience, had begun to find itself. From Deerfield they garnered a 2-1 victory, improving on this by overwhelming Smith Academy 9-1 for by far the largest score of the season.

At this auspicious moment they were halted in their fervor by a ten-day lapse before the crucial encounter with Worcester. Undismayed, however, they entered the final contest with an insuperable spirit, and at half time led their ancient rivals, 1-0. In the second half, despite the unyielding and obdurate efforts of the Williston men, size, weight, and experience began to tell, and the Red and Black, continually forcing the issue, finally scored on a penalty kick, following this, a moment before the final whistle, by a second and winning tally.

COACH HEPWORTH

Igasketbatt

BASKETBALL proved to be the cynosure of all eyes this winter. With the loss of three stars from last year's extraordinary quintet, and the departure of Coach J. J. Hance, many were the queries as to the development of the team, and whether or not it would measure up to the standard set by the 1927 five. Mr. A. L. Hepworth, a man widely experienced in all branches of athletics, assumed the coaching duties. Difficulties cropped up before the season began. Teams which had been badly defeated the previous year refused to play us. This led directly to the formation of a schedule which was without question the most difficult ever undertaken by a Blue and Gold team; in fact out of the twelve contests, only one resulted in a sweeping victory. Thus, it is greatly to the credit of both the quintet and the coach that such a schedule should have been completed with seven victories and five losses; earlier wins over two of the schools which vanquished the Blue and Gold more than compensated for these setbacks. Without detracting from the victory attained by Northampton High, Valley League Champions, it might be remembered that Williston played minus the services of her two star forwards.

George Crutch,Elmer Schumacher,John Tyler,Peter O'Kulsky,and Dudley Clarke reported from last year's squad. Among the new men who came to the fore were: William Doyle, George Gore, Mark Tyler, and Curtis Scott. Showing -63

an improvement over his past brilliant work, Crutch again garnered a forward position, and proved to be the most valuable man on the floor by virtue of his unexcelled shooting, brilliant dribbling, and sensational floor-work. Doyle, his former Litchfield teammate, worked smoothly with him in the other fore-court, and was ably supplanted by Gore at necessary times. Shu again held down the pivot position, and turned out to be the best defensive cog in the team. Every good quintet must have a scoring threat, not only in the fore-court, but in the defense, in the person of a running guard. Captain Pop Tyler filled this requisite to perfection, exhibiting sound defensive play and a knack for scoring at opportune moments. His running mate, Peter 9'Kulsky appeared as an invincible stationary guard, and featured his play with shifty dribbling and quick passing. Mark Tyler and Curt Scott filled in at various positions during the season, and proved very capable substitutes. A strong second team, composed of Shufelt, Clayton, Tupper, D. Clark, Churchill, Boothby, Fenn, H. Clark, Brodie, and Munroe, furnished the regulars with plenty of opposition in practice games.

The opening game, with Northampton High, showed the team in the experimental stage, without the services of either Crutch or Doyle. They gave the veteran Valley League quintet a hard battle before succumbing, 34-18. The next contest, only a week away, resulted in a victory for the powerful Dartmouth Freshmen five; a notable achievement was registered in Williston's outscoring the yearlings in the second half, after becoming acclimated to playing conditions.

The outstanding victories of the season were registered at the expense of Deerfield, Springfield College Freshmen, and Worcester. The contests in which Williston proved her superiority over Amherst Freshmen, Northampton Commercial College, and Vermont Academy vied closely with the three previously mentioned for closeness and sensations. Wesleyan Freshmen, Deerfield, and Springfield College Freshmen all registered close victories over the Blue and Gold, but each on her home floor.

The first of the annual two-game series with the Springfield yearlings proved to be the tightest contest of the year. At no time during the forty minutes of play did either team get away to more than a two point lead. A swift rally in the last two minutes of play gave Williston a two point margin of victory. 2,5-23. The Blue and Gold broke Deerfield's five-game winning streak two weeks later, pinning a 41-30 defeat on them. Crutch was at his best during that contest, tossing in ten baskets and three fouls while holding Deerfield's high-scoring captain down.

Worcester Academy brought up their best team in recent year for the annual battle, a team which had lost but three games in the face of the strongest opposition. The Red and Black drew away to a 10-4 lead in the first sixteen minutes of play. During the dying stages of the half, Williston piled up seven points in rapid succession to hold a one point lead at the conclusion of the half. The third quarter saw a continuance of the close conservative play, but towards the middle of the period the Blue and Gold opened up with an irresistible attack which left Worcester completely bewildered. From then on it was only a question of how high the score could be, the final result being forty-four to twentythree. Williston had no individual star in this all-important contest; rather it was the effect of flawless teamwork acquired only by long hours of practice and conscientious coaching.

rrHE 198 hockey season may be set down in the annals of that sport as being the most successful in years, for despite adverse weather conditions thirteen games were played, and of these eleven were victories for Williston. Manager Macfarland displayed an acumen above the ordinary not only in choosing at the start an utterly satisfying schedule but also in arranging later for postponed games; were it not for him the team, as many other teams were, would have been in the matter of outside opponents rather lacking. Taft and Loomis were the only ones to beat us, but those were minor defeats easily offset by our triumphs, to mention only two, over Deerfield and Worcester.

Although Captain Charles Jenkins and Dee were the only veterans, with the aid of a surprising amount of new and good material and several old men of recently developed talent Coach Galbraith was able to build up a team which was of a patent superiority. At the very beginning of the season it was apparent that the team would be a well-rounded one if an able net-guardian could be found, as later one was. Emmons Bryant, Arnold Melbye, Charles Granniss, and Philip Coleman were the aspirants for the position, the misfortune being that none had

played it before. Coleman it was who finally developed a form making him a mainstay of the team. Because of the fact that there were six excellentforwards, it was possible to have two lines equally fast and equally efficient. Charley Jenkins, Willie Jenkins, and Pete Cary made up the first; Red Melbye, Tommy Cordis, and Dee the second. The defence, Nichols, Sands, and Parker, proved almost invulnerable, while behind them all was Coleman, who, were he to be perpetually, would obviate forever any expense for new nets. His average was slightly less than a goal a game for opponents. Brooks, Bryant, and Bailey were capable substitutes.

After several postponements because of an undue torridness of the weather, the first game, a victory of two to one, occurred on the Ford Hall rink with Commerce High of Springfield. The next, with Hartford High, was a facile victory: four to nothing. By this time the individual players were well on the way towards acquiring, under the tutelage of Mr. Galbraith and Mr. Lossone, a perfect co-ordination.

About this time it got warm again, so the subsequent two games took place in the Springfield Arena; the Springfield College Freshmen were beaten by the bare score of three to two, and within several days Loomis achieved over us the first victory although the score, to be sure, was no more than one to nothing, largely due to the sensationally efficient work of Coleman.

The next week the team commenced an uninterrupted winning streak. Deerfield was the first to bow; an extremely hard game resulting in a one to nothing triumph for us, the goal being Charlie Jenkins. The hitherto undefeated Mass. Aggie players, boasting a record of six straight wins, were turned back three to one. Kent was to be our following opponent, but because of an epidemic, something that even Macfarland was unable to circumvent, our game with them was called off.

A sizable delegation accompanied the team to the Arena for the Worcester game. The outcome appeared to be rather doubtful for us since our rivals were fresh from a hard-fought tie with the Holy Cross varsity. In spite of this, however, they were from the beginning outskated and outplayed in every department of the game. The Easthampton team scored one goal in the first minutes of play and after that increased the lead every period. The final score was four to one. Springfield College Freshmen came to town the following Wednesday, seeking revenge. The game resembled a shinney contest, and left the yearlings on the short end of an eight to nothing score. For the first time in the history of the two institutions, Williston and Taft met on the rink. The long train journey seemed to sap the vitality of the Blue and Gold,for they played raggedly, and lost five to nothing. Once again the team staged a comeback. The last two games both played in the Springfield Arena resulted in decisive victories. Deerfield suffered a three to one defeat, and Tech High, champions of Springfield went down two to one.

COACH CROWTHER

ISafsebatt

FOR the first time in many years Coach Crowther had several letter men as a nucleus to form a baseball team. Captain Dee, Schumacher, and Crutch. were the infield veterans, while DesRoches and Sheldon had both seen a good deal of service in the outfield. There were several good prospects among the new men—Ballou at third, Monroe in center field, Gore and Howe at catch,and Doyle, Darling, and Callender on the mound, early showed indications of past experience.

Bad weather hampered practice and the Williston nine trotted out for their first game with only nine days of practice. Heavy hitting by the Blue and Gold resulted in a strong Holyoke High being defeated 9-5. Bay Path proved the next victim, last year's debacle being avenged by a six to four defeat. The annual Prom game with Deerfield was a thriller from start to finish. Deerfield jumped out to an early lead but a Williston rally tied the score. The Green and Grey tied the score again in the ninth, only to see Williston squeeze over the winning counter on Monroe's bunt. The next game, that with Palmer High, eclipsed all contests of years standing from a scoring standpoint, the final score being Palmer 26, Williston 10.

The next game, with the Holy Cross Freshmen, resulted in a victory for the hard-hitting Crusaders, 9-3. A four run rally with two out in the ninth sent Amherst Freshmen down to defeat, 6-3. The return game with Deerfield was featured by the superb.pitching of Doyle, who fanned fourteen, and allowed only five widely scattered hits.

Track

ANEW track coach, Mr. W. J. MacDonald, had much to do with the success of the team this year. He and Mr. Putnam succeeded in turning out one of the strongest track squads in years. Sickness and ineligibility cost several sure point winners at crucial moments, but in spite of these handicaps, the team, as has been said, made a fine showing.

Among the veterans who showed a return of form the previous year were—Captain Hamel, Houston, J. Tyler, and S. Morse. A goodly number of men turned out for the first practise, and of the newcomers the dashmen were especially prominent—Knight, Roessler, Lippman. Monroe, and Howe, Rowen, Churchill, and Clarke, in the hurdles, Herwig and Grant in the half, Vunk,Bailey,and Boyd in the mile, M.Tyler in the broad jump, Lewis and Cordis in the pole vault, and Perini, Boothby, Skill, and Hamilton in the weights were the outstanding.

The Kennedy Meet proved to be a nip-and-tuck affair from start to finish. Captain Hamel and Roessler finally tied for first with thirteen points each, Knight being only a point behind. Each event was hard-fought, a matter of inches determining every race.

The team got off to an auspicious start by nosing out Springfield Tech High, 633- to 53i. Lewis and J. Tyler each took two first places. Rowen and Houston were the other Williston men to take firsts in the meet.

The Deerfield-Loomis-Williston meet, the culmination of the season, looms as a close contest with no team having a decided advantage.

rrHIS year's tennis season will undoubtedly go I down as one of the most successful in the history of the school. Such excellent material in such numbers had never before presented itself at the beginning of the spring term. Two players, John Barnaby and Douglas Thayer, had been captains and first men on high school teams in large cities; Spencer Clayton, Emmons Bryant, and Peter Cary, who was unable to come back till the middle of the season, were returning veterans of the highest grade. What further could be desired? Mr.Galbraith turned agroupofsuperb players into a yet more superb team. One may speculate upon the renown they would have achieved had the schedule been a trifle broader; their showing, nevertheless, was distinctly superior.

Of the individual players Spencer Clayton was easily the most experienced. His performance was a brilliant combination of adept net-work and an accurate, steady, all-court game that ever ensured an appreciative audience. A reliable back-court game coupled with a tendency to take net on forcing shots characterized the almost as capable play of John Barnaby; backhand slices and smashes were with him constant point gainers. Douglas Thayer and Fredrick Tupper were exceptionally strong, the one in service and the other in forcing ground strokes. Thayer's service was of special advantage in doubles no less than under all circumstances was his back court game. At net Tupper was slightly erratic, but he proved to be one of the most valuable members of the team. Accurate volleying at net, a strong forehand drive, and a dependable backhand slice are, one might say, Norris Whitbeck's points of outstanding excellence, but in addition his game is invariably a calm and unruffled one. Emmons Bryant, his doubles partner, is marked chiefly by his steady backcourt game and by his occasional yet certain shots at net. Mr. Galbraith's coaching was of immense value.

THE Y Cabinet has done much in making our school year a happier and more enjoyable one. Ever since September the Cabinet has taken its duties seriously and has labored hard for the betterment of the general morale, and for the development of the mind and body of the individual boy. Its aim has been to uplift the spiritual and social tone of the student body and to develop in it a strong and genuine school spirit.

The Cabinet began its functions with a most hearty reception of the new boys at the Williston homestead. The newcomers were welcomed with an undeniable sincerity and were urged to join the different activities

MR. GRANNISS of the school. Then followed a well arranged program of entertainments; the annual Buck Party was an acknowledged success; and the Hallowe'en Pow Wow marked an enthusiastic spirit of cooperation.

The Y Cabinet fostered banquets which were given in honour of different athletic teams were responsible for the splendid spirit of co-ordination, sportsmanship, and good will shown throughout the year.

In its religious work, the Y not only continued but tremendously improved the group discussions instituted the season before. These gatherings were purely informal, thus giving to every boy an unusual opportunity to discuss whatever subject or problem that might interest him. Social and religious tangles, school life, morals, and the Bible were among the topics touched upon. These groups proved to be a wholesome clearing house for mental uncertainties, and were of distinct advantage to those boys who were in whole-hearted accord with their aim.

To achieve a new vision and a new inspiration, to do its best in developing the spirit, mind, and body of every student, several delegates were sent in the winter term to the preparatory school conference held at Amherst.

The"Y" Cabinet also deserved no small amount of credit for its charity work. Its subscriptions to help the homeless after the flood in the Connecticut valley, and its contributions to the Near-East Relief, and to various organizations and institutions, although small individually, were indeed helpful and deserving of major eulogies.

Vie 6tubent Council

THEStudent Council is one of the integral organizations of our school. No community is perfect without a representative bodyswhich can wisely and gently direct its affairs; and Williston is no excepton. Without the Student Council the undeniably superior co-Ordination and co-operation shown by the whole school body throughout the year could hardly be possible.

The Council consists of students in whom one finds refinement of conduct, uprightness, generosity, and all the better qualities of manhood. Their field of activity during the past year has been, as we should expect it to be, largely constructive and preventive .rather than destructive. Minor cases of discipline and advice, and the correction of the outlook of some students have become their real work. Many instances of minor infraction of rules which occasionally escape the attention of the faculty have been handled so successfully by the Council that teachers and students are brought together in a more common bond of understanding and fellowship than would otherwise be probable. Advice, discipline, and censure have been meted out in a just and decisive yet sympathetic manner. As much has been done by the Student Council in the way of maintaining the general high standard of social and moral life judged worthy of Williston tradition as in uplifting it by attention to individual weak spots.

The attitude of the boys, by and large, in supporting the rulings of their Council has been excellent during the past nine months, and their co-operation has been appreciated to a degree unimaginable by one unacquainted with the real situation. It is true, however, that the Council has been criticized; but no representative organization is flawlessly perfect. The Council has tried hard to perform smoothly and to the best advantage of everybody in school.

To those men who follow after, the Student Council urges that any student honored by membership in that group, go about his work wholeheartedly and conscientiously, with the same spirit of generosity and helpfulness that the members of the past year have done their best to show. Let every member think sanely and act sympathetically for the further advancement of the welfare of Williston.

ice DEBATING

2betpbi

ADELPHI began the season with a membership composed almost entirely of new and inexperienced men. The only returning man of last year's Worcester-Williston Debating team was Powers. The year began with a good attendance, but gradually decreased through the year. Outstanding among the new men was Evans. Others prominent during the year were Barnaby, Brodie, Des Roches, S. Boyd and Marx. Debating during the past year fell decidedly below the standard of the previous year, due to the loss of Emil Des Roches, Rand, Mitchell, and Foster, in spite of the direction of Mr. MacDonald whose ability as a debater and coach needs no further introduction. Representatives of Adelphi in the M. A. C. debate were: Barnaby,Powers and Evans.,

MR. MORSE

anima it•ignita

GAMMA SIGMA faired very much as Adelphi during the past year, for the skill and interest with which debating was stimulated by Mr. Ross, was not replaced. Gamma Sigma had a small group of interested debaters. These, as the result of ardent practice, prepared themselves for the annual joint debate with Adelphi. Their most active workers have been Van den Heuval and Hayden; the latter was the Gamma Sigma representative in the M. A. C. debate. Both the Williston teams were unanimously victorious here and at Amherst.

Though the past season gave evidence of little interest upon the part of the student body as a whole, no reason exists why debating should not find reviving acclaim in the very near future. The tendency to neglect it need not, with proper stimulation, be a permanent one.

DESPITE all that has been written and spoken about them, Adelphi and Gamma Sigma are organizations the popularity of which is undeniably secure. Of their activities, however, no phase attracts so much general interest as the annual debate with Worcester. Inasmuch as neither school has even one more victory to its credit than the other, there was, naturally, an intense spirit of rivalry. Here, six men that are not only prominent but worthy, are chosen to enter the contest. Selected with care, trained with care, and self-prepared with care, they are bound to make a showing excellent in every way. The question, "Resolved, that Alfred E. Smith is eminently qualified to be president of the United States", was one which our two cleverest debaters lost the negative, while the other two won the affirmative.

Burton Powers, in everyone's judgment the finest speaker in school for two years, and John Barnaby, whose excellence in debate was a matter of common knowledge, made up, with Stockton Boyd as alternative, the team that debated at Worcester. At home was Raymond Black, most popular in a difficult field, Stanwood Evans, the most brilliant debater in school, and, alternative, Fredrick Brodie, who twisted every point of the opponents into meaningless verbiage. Coach MacDonald gave to all a training that made them effective arguers.

IN spite of the fact that the Advisory Board is rather a recondite organization little known to the school at large, one can easily imagine it as the guiding spirit of Williston athletics. The membership is cleverly made up not only of members of the faculty, all save one, Mr. George Hero, an adept arbitrator, being directors of some sport, but also of those undergraduates who are possessed both of physical ability and of understanding in such nice matters. Its functions are two: To award letters and to select managers. These are both important duties, and the fact that the Board performs them to the satisfaction of all proves that its inception marked a forward step in Williston progress.

DRAMATICS

IT WAS the evening of December the ninth that 1- the Dramatic Club presented these three one-act plays: The Trysting Place by Booth Tarkington, The Ghost of Jerry Bundler by W. W. Jacobs and Charles Rock, and Swimmin' Pools by Belford Forrest. A better selection could hardly have been made; there is, as anyone can tell who has seen it, exactly the right admixture of the amusing, the dramatic, and the the romantic. Although one may very easily say "Ah, of course. Quite true," it is by no means with such facility that the plays were actually chosen. Imagine, if you can, a long list of them, and try, just try to pick out the three that not only will have among them all the qualities recommending them to a schoolboy audience of uncertain intellectual and emotional response but also will have not too great a number of difficult roles; that is the problem that confronted the director.

MR. S. C. COBB

The precise degree of hard work on the part of Mr.Sumner Cobb that it took to train a group of boys largely inexperienced; the amount of labour expended (with results, we agree) not only by the casts themselves but also by the other directors Mr. Lincoln Granniss and Mr. Edwin Cranston; the,strain of hurried preparation on the production staff—all this is nobody's business. The outcome however, is in quite a different category. Who is it will deny that Jerry Bundler, to choose a salient example, was played with a technical finesse and a dramatic sense which more than rendered it a superior note in the annals of preparatory school presentation, in fact even made it worthy of the profession itself? The first play on the programme, Booth Tarkington's altogether charming little comedy, was put on with an excellence the inferiority of which to that of Jerry was scarcely noticeable. Swimmin' Pools, with the natural exception of The End of the Rope, was distinguished over the rest by the fact that the cast contained no player whose performance was not utterly above reproach or criticism, no player whose every line and action did not blend with those of the others to form a surpassingly smooth and well constructed entity. Between Raymond Black and Paul Riabouchinsky there was mighty little difference in the quality of technique, force, and feeling.

2 8

If the fall presentations belonged to an indisputably high species of excellence, as indeed they did, those of the winter—the twenty-fourth, to be precise, of February—were, save for The Day That Lincoln Died, which was as good certainly as The Beautiful Rose of last season, done with such a dazzling show of intrinsic talent that they were way and above the heads even of a more perceptive audience than the actual one characterized by the Willistonian as stultitious. 'Lijah, a piece of work wherein Valentine Smith attained near to perfection in a way he never has or will in the line of fiction, was lifted to undreamed of heights of effectiveness by the incomparable acting of Burton Powers—acting which will forever be the zenith undergraduate ability. Partially due to the art of Lloyd Thanhouser but more to the ineffably superb acting of Mr. Cobb, The End of the Rope was, like the final sprint of a winning runner, the crowning touch to a gloriously successful year. It possessed a tragic intensity which fostered by Mr. Cobb and only a little less by Henry Gault Voorhis, the other character, held the whole hall bound in a state of mingled suspense and anticipation up to within half a minute of the curtain. While it is a matter of considerable dubiety, it might be said to have excelled even The Valiant of a year ago, rated then as the most intensely absorbing play seen in the hotel de ville in many years. Of Mr. Cobb's acting nothing can be said which would be too laudatory; long training coupled with an irrefutably connate flair has given him adeptness and a sincerety that any actor might envy.

The jeune premiere, Frederick R. Ramage, deserves because of his virtue, a word all to himself. For three years he has had an important place in every presentation, playing his parts with the uttermost fidelity possible to a man. In spite of the fact that in a great number of similar cases of reversed sex upon the stage an odd note of masculinity is apt to creep in unawares, somehow he seems to be above defects of this nature. A faithful and hard worker and an actor of pleasing capability, he has been of inestimable value to the Club.

Of all the undergraduate performers—in other words, excepting Mr. Cobb—Burton Powers is the sole one whose talent is really art. While there is no doubt that the others have at one time or another shown an aptitude which, albeit far short of his, has still been of a notable grade, yet he is the only man who can be relied upon, no matter what the conditions, always to do a definitely superb piece of acting. As also exhibited in his debates, he has an amazing clarity of speech; it is nothing to say of him that not a single word of his part is lost to the audience. His specialty

BURTON l'()wERS

FREDERICK RAMAGE

is playing old men—fairly old that is: anything above sixty-five. He does, in truth, nothing but this, and does it with a convincingness hard to credit without hearing. Not only has his voice that proper and so rare resonant quality which stamps him at once as an actor either of long practice or inherent feeling, but also he has at the very same time a marvellously distinct underlying enunciation. In fact, it would seem to any experienced observer that in the main—nay, altogether—he has cast aside all traces of the amateur no less completely than Browning his syntax.

CLUB

FIRMLY ensconced in the heartsof thestudent body lies the Glee Club. Of all the extra-curriculum activities, outside of athletics, none is more zealously striven for than this club. It stands as an apex in the musical life of the school.

From a group of over sixty recruits, with only eight of last year men among them, Mr. Rouse had the sizable task of acquiring thirty trainable voices, thirty voices for the most part, unskilled and untaught. Out of the chaos was to arise a club fit to uphold the reputation of the school and in proper condition to compete in the Interscholastic Glee Club Competition held in New York. The ordinary routine of half learning a piece had to be dropped immediately. Long hours of hard work spent with infinite pains were required to instruct the club in some of the rudiments and the technique of singing. The study of the interepretation was necessary as only by a deep understanding of the work could the full, real, intrinsic merits of the song be truthfully reproduced. It was with these things in mind that the club passed many evenings at concentrated work.

A new plan had been adopted this year whereby instead of there being only one prize song, there were three, one of which would be chosen on the night of the concert for rendition. This naturally tripled the amount of work for the club. The songs were Lo How a Rose e'er Blooming by Praetorius; Gypsy Song by Mendessohn; Shenandoah arranged by Bartholomew. Each song was taken up individually and laborously worked upon. Aside from these pieces, the choice song On the Sea had to be learnt. But above all, it was necessary for a new school song to be written. One of the requirements was that the school song should be original. Mr. Rouse spent a good deal of time and energy in writing a very fitting and proper song to the words of the original Alma Mater. This song is indeed a very important addition to the school and will remain an integral part of the life here for many years to come. Just before the New York trip, 90

Mr. Gorokoff, the Glee Club and Choir Director of Smith College, came over and gave the club the final smoothness so necessary to success. His aid was invaluable as also was his attitude. He felt that the club was the best that this school has as yet produced.

On February 4, 1928 everything was in readiness for the crucial test. Those who made the trip were as follows:

First Tenors, Houston, Isham, C. B. Clark, Sturdevent, Marx, Bodge; Second Tenors, Black, Seybolt, Rowen, Fernandes, Knight, H. Clark; First Basses, Rouse, J. Tyler, Hamel, C. W. Churchill, Hart, Shufelt, Howard; Second Basses, Lewis, Barnaby, Coleman, Rees.

Accompanist, Voorhis

The concert was held before a capacity house in the Town Hall. Lo How a Rose was the song picked for the prize song. As club after club sang this song and their own choice song, one was able to see instantly the general excellence of the music. Each club seemed aimed for the first place. While the final decision was being reckoned, all the clubs sang the two unsung prize songs. After this the verdict was rendered. Great was the disappointment in the Williston Section when the cup was given to Deerfield. However, she was somewhat comforted on learning that she had taken fourth place. This in consideration of the quality of the singing was indeed no disgrace. The club had done its best and that was all that could be asked. follows: The comparative results of the twelve schools was as

Through the further and yet more diligent co-operation on the part of each separate individual and even to a greater extent through the beneficent direction of Mr. Rouse, the Club achieved a distrinct triumph in its annual concert held in the Town Hall May the twenty-fifth. A simple affair it was, but in its lack of all that would be ornately schoolboyish lay its charm. The admirable selection and grouping of the dozen or more songs, the outstanding excellence with which those songs were sung, the gratifying combination of vigour and nicety of modulation, made it an event that need take second place to none.

MR. W. J. MACDONALD

UNLIKE last year's Orchestra, which was limited in capability to tuneless albeit pleasing noise, a gratifyingly rhythmic syncopation, as it were, of nothing, music which one could scarcely restrain one's feet from dancing to but which one was reciprocally unable to recognize, or if so only in parts, as anything one had chanced to hear before, the Orchestra this year could perform in such a fortunate manner that it had tune and harmony, could play so that it was a distinct attraction wherever it chose to go, so that it merited the admiration of all who understood the things one ought if one lays a claim however small to a comprehension however slight of music. Their success, a success of which none can have the unparalleled boldness, the unfounded mendaciousness to doubt the validity, is made more a thing to be remarked, admired, commented upon, by the fact that because out of the six ultimate members, three (Larry Seybolt, saxophone, Paul Hamel, saxophone,and Ray Black, violin) were old boys who had been in last year's orchestra, and three (Norris Whitbeck, piano, Donald Lewis, traps, and the leader, Mr. McDonald, cornet) were new not only to the school but, of course, equally to this particular organization, because of this division in experience, because three had worked together times beyond count while the other three had never before even seen either them or each other, it was a matter of unusual difficulty to secure coordination, to attain that perfect timing without which no band of musicians is what it should be, to get each individual into a feeling of musical sympathy both with every other individual and with the total effect created in its entirety by himself and by everyone else.

Since with a rarity beyond belief it has befallen that no particular player can be selected from the whole group as being able to play his especial instrument with a noticeable superiority, since no one can be said to be markedly more adept than anyone else, since the component parts are no more than component parts, since, to be brief, this is a six-man orchestra with no predominating figure save, naturally, Mr. McDonald, who has been to the trouble of moulding it into its present incomparable shape, who has accomplished the not easy feat of securing an undivided group consciousness, since all share alike in the praise which irrefutably they deserve, one cannot mention, one finds it a physical impossibility to mention aught that would not be in laud of the Orchestra as a unit, the Orchestra as an integral part of school life, an organization that in spite of the fact that it was originally intended to act as a complement of the Glee Club,in spite of the fact that its other appearances are but at the two performances of the Dramatic Club and at two or three dances, bids fair to become an attention-compelling factor in the daily routine, has, in fact, assumed a position well among the foremost activities.

BECAUSE one is apt to wax egotistical in a review of such a character as this, it would be well for the reader to note that all praise and credit herein given is purely relative and that while it is undeniably the sincere belief of the Board that this Log is equalled by no similar publication, the members have in reality done no better than their best. It has been their endeavour to present the facts of the year 1928 in such a light that the result will be not only a temporary record of achievement but also a permanent memorial of old days.

The most vital part of this book, the personals, one of which is opposite the photograph of every senior, Roszam R. MATHEWS, Editor was written in the main by Albion Hart and Lewis Seybolt. These two men have exerted their utmost capability with the effect that every seventy-five words is approximately the cross-section of a man's personality. To Chamras Chayabongse and to Henry Voorhis goes reasonable credit for a majority of the organization reports. Debating, however, in all its divers classifications was written by Burton Powers, and the Orchestra by Huntley Woodbridge, who both for that and for his quite indispensible revision work deserves laud in no small degree. The extremely facile drawings, adornments without which this Log could have in no manner attained even its present grade, are from the clever pens of James Dunlap, Wayne Tichenor, and Charles Crosby Allen, three men Whose art has ever been readily available for the common good. It is impossible to say over-much in their favour; to work with them has been a pleasure and an honour. To the Business Managers, Paul Hamel and Eric Russell, and to the Treasurer, Charles Little, the financial success of this book is entirely owing; no reparation can be made for the time and effort they have expended with such an ineffably pleasing out-come.

Robert Mathews, as Editor-in-Chief, has shouldered throughout the year a major portion of the unbelievable burden necessarily attendant and has done it with a willingness and efficiency that are more than commendable. To Mr. Stanley MacConnell, the best of Faculty Advisers, the entire Board extends its thanks in appreciation of his inspirational powers and his genius for co-operation.

THIS year, more than ever before, the staff of the Willistonian have taken upon themselves the responsibility of writing, editing and publishing their own paper. Under the untiring efforts of the Editor-in-Chief, Charles V. Brooks,and his thoroughly efficient staff of assistants, the paper has become one of the most distinctive, preparatory school news organs in New England. It has undertaken the task to set forth the genuine sentiment and the popular opinion of all matters pertaining to school life. On all questions, the facts have been clearly and concisely expounded, and both sides of the questions have always been fairly presented.

EDMUND L. EVELETH Business Manager

As in all previous years, the high literary standards of the paper have been kept. Clever or dull, brilliant or pedantic, verbose or concise, as the articles may have happened to be, they have never been written in anything but the choicest style. The write-ups of the various lectures, games, meets, social events, and extra-curriculum activities have always been refreshing and have made a very convenient and interesting diary of the school life. The special features of the various Hall Notes and "The Gentleman with the Spyglass" have added materially to. the originality of the paper.

MR. CRANSTON

The new plan of procedure, having two faculty advisors, has worked out most admirably. Mr. Cranston has carefully followed up the literary end while Mr. Johnson has efficiently overseen the financial part, with the result of our thoroughly effective sheet.

'THE progress of the Williston Junior School has been in no way more perfectly indicated than in the results of the past year's work. Under the conscientious and able direction of Mr. Cunningham the school is still a growing and progressing institution. During the past year the enrollment was the largest in the history of the school.

This year was marked by the addition of the Williston Cottage to the present equipment. The Cottage is a large and attractive building situated a short distance from the Campus. The necessary alterations and renovations were completed in time for occupancy in September. The unusual number of sleeping porches, the modern and efficient heating plant, the large baths all speak well for the standards of comfort followed in renovating the house. In addition to fifteen boys, a Master and Housemother are in residence. With its charming situation, the ideal grounds surrounding the house, and the toboggan slide, the new dormitory is perhaps the most attractive building of the whole Academy. Its acquisition was a most commendable step in the growth of the school.

The excellent training of the lower school is clearly shown by those members of the upper school who graduated from it. The Junior school is making a splendid reputation for itself in its work of preparing boys for the upper school. At t he present time many of these boys who prepared in the Junior School are prominent in the upper school. The advantages of a complete grammar school and college preparation in two such closely connected schools as the Williston Upper and Junior School are many. The growth and enlargement of the Junior School is inevitable; it is only to be hoped that the school's future growth will be consistent with its growth of the past year.

God preserve our Alma Mater Williston, forevermore; 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 service yield to Thee; Minding still her ancient watchword, Christo et Ecclesiae. That, where'er our 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, forevermore; In the sunshine of Thy favor, Guard her, keep her, we implore.
