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.

WHILE making no attempt to assuage the stings of defeat this year, nevertheless, the losses are mitigated by the fact that rarely, if ever, have we had a team which has shown better sportsmanship, more fight and pluck than this year's team. Although the score was against us in most of the games, we may feel secure in the belief that we have established a reputation for cleanhanded fighting among the surrounding schools.
Although the prospect of having only three lettermen back might well discourage a new coach, Mr.MacDonald, having assumed the duties of head coach for the first time, was not disheartened. Immediately, he sent out a call for football men. He had several of the previous year's second squad to choose from, besides the new candidates. It was soon seen that this year's squad was some fifteen or twenty pounds lighter than that of last year. There was no outstanding star to build the team around. Coach MacDonald bent every effort to make the team work as smoothly as possible. He placed the line in charge of Assistant Coach Peterson; Mr. Peterson efficiently instructed the team in blocking, tackling, and charging.
The first few weeks were employed in learning fundamentals and in building up material. Before the first game a few simple plays were rehearsed, involving
only line plunges and one or two passes. Coach MacDonald continually emphasized teamwork, since there could be little done in the more complicated plays if every man did not do his part in the simple ones. As the season advanced, he employed passes more and more. This was the most effective offensive that our team had.
On Saturday, October ninth, the team played its first game against Holyoke High School. The game ended in a scoreless tie. The team fought hard, but failed to watch its opportunities. Nevertheless, the game had failed to reveal any pronounced scoring power. In this game, "Gid" was injured and was out most of the year. Tracy and Giacomini did splendid work at the ends.
The game on the following Saturday was a distinct setback. Wilbraham, with its first team in years, was expected to prove a fairly easy conquest. Sammy's men, however, returned home on the short end of a 1e-6 score. Again the team had fought hard, but with the same fault as before. The greatest ground-gainer that Wilbraham employed was an off-tackle slant used very effectively. In the last few minutes of the game, Melbye received a punt on his own ten-yard line and ran through the entire field for a touchdown. This run in the closing minutes of the game brought hope to the hearts of the Williston rooters, but the team failed to gain effectively again.
Williston suffered its second defeat at the hands of Cushing Academy by the score of 19-0. Williston, time and again, threatened Cushing's goal line, but could not find the necessary punch to go over. Stoddard at fullback and Tracy at the end played a sterling game.
After two defeats one might think the team would be discouraged. But against Trinity Freshmen the team glowed the brand of football it could play. The line charged hard, fast, and low. The secondary defense effectively stopped the fast Trinity backs. The best player offensively and defensively was Dexter. Clark showed a really fine example of line-plunging. Captain Rapson and Powell,tackles,charged fast to break up end runs.
The play of the next week fell below par. The line sagged and was pushed off its feet by the fast, snappy Deerfield team. In the first few minutes of the game, Deerfield pushed over its first tally. In the second quarter came the second and final score. The work of the ends, Dervin and Tracy, was the bright spot of the game. Shurtleff at center did his best to hold the shreds of the line together.
The next Friday, Amherst Freshmen administered a sound drubbing to the team. Outweighed, outplayed, and outmanned, the team fought spiritedly against an overwhelming offense.
On the next Saturday came the final disaster, the defeat at the hands of Worcester Academy, our traditional rivals. The Worcester team, known as the best team in a large area, literally swamped us by a score of 67-0. While Williston naturally fought pluckily, it did little good, as Worcester, with their powerful eleven,scored at will.
At the close of the season, the following men were awarded their letters: Gwiazda, Shurtleff, Johnson, (Captain) R,apson, Tracy, Dervin, Gaudette, Melbye, Clark, Dexter, Turner, Powell, Rathbone, Wasserscheid, Stoddard and Manager Howe.
"Gid" Gaudette was elected captain for the 1930 season and Manager Howe was re-elected to his position.

ITHE Williston 1929 soccer team completed a successful season by winning seven out of the ten games of a difficult schedule. Two games resulted in defeats and one was tied. Our "booters" compiled a splendid early season record. The first six starts were victories, all by decisive margins, thereby ranking Williston, in midseason, as one of the outstanding New England prep school aggregations. The sixth game, which was with the strong Springfield Freshman team, proved a most expensive victory. Captain John McEwan received an injury to his ankle which kept him out of all the remaining encounters. He had been the ablest player on the squad and it is doubtful COACH DUNN whether any prep school p'ayer in the country showed a superior brand of soccer. His loss left the team without their leader and scoring ace. Although it fought earnestly, the team was defeated by both Quincy High School and Worcester Academy in late season contests. However the early success of the team, which included among its victims such powerful elevens as the Springfield and Williams Freshmen and the American International College, overshadowed the later setbacks.
Of the squad that reported to Coach Dunn on December 19, John McEwan was the only veteran regular of last year's team. With the exception of W. Mc-
Ewan and Toon the new candidates had little previous experience. Coach Dunn soon organized a potential team with a forward line that showed much promise. W. McEwan and Parker played the wing positions, Daley and Higgins were the inside men and Captain McEwan was at center. Toon showed up well at center halfback in a doubtful backfield that lacked experience. Budd Spence was given the berth at goal.
This team started against Easthampton High School in the opening game of the season, on the campus field. The forward line showed much ability, the backfield put up a game far above expectations, and as a result Williston applied the "white wash brush" with a 4 to 0 count. After this game Coach Dunn is quoted as saying, "Williston should have a good season".
In the next encounter Williston defeated Holyoke High School 7 to 0. The McEwan brothers proved themselves a hard combination to stop and they again scored most of the goals. Daley was injured and was replaced by Willie Jenkins. Many of our substitutes were given a chance to show their worth in this game.
Williston continued her string of victories by beating Deerfield on Saturday, Oct. 12, 10 to 3. Although the first goals this season were scored against Williston by her opponents the team, displayed excellent soccer. Again the McEwan brothers starred. The work of Parker, Toon, and Sporbert also featured this contest.
In a hard fought game on the campus field Williston defeated the American International College, 2 to 0. The Blue and Gold booters played below their usual form. However, the work of the backfield was more substantial than in previous games.
Playing her first game away, Williston added the strong Williams Freshman aggregation to her list of victims by a 4 to 2 score. Williston lost no time and scored three goals in the first quarter against one for Williams. The rest of the game was closely contested.
A reorganized Williston team won the hardest fought contest of the season from the reputable Springfield Freshmen booters. In the last quarter John McEwan made the lone tally of the game. Parker was lost to the team because of midseason eligibility rules and Toon replacd him at right wing. Sporbert moved over to center halfback and Kingsbury played his first game at left half. In this victory Williston was in the peak of form. Incidently this game proved to be the climax and turning point of the season.
With Captain McEwan out of the lineup Williston only succeeded in tying the Amherst Freshmen at Amherst,2 to 2. Coach Dunn again shifted the line-up, Toon moving over to center forward and Brown replacing him at wing.
In the next fray Williston suffered her first defeat of the season at the hands of the superior Quincy High School team. The score was 2 to 0. Although Williston displayed good defensive soccer, the offensive punch of the team was weak. Budd Spence made a series of splendid saves. Kingsbury took Hurd's place at fullback, and Tom Sargent played his first game at left halfback.
A slow uninteresting midweek game was played on the campus, in which Williston outclassed Hopkins Academy, 1 to 0. Williston was much superior, but the team seemed to have lost the usual animation.
For the last scheduled game of the season Williston journeyed to Worcester Academy and met defeat in the annual classic. The Williston men couldn't seem to cooperate and the fast Worcester forward line pushed through five goals while they held Williston scoreless. Clayton, Henry Sargent and Hurd showed individual form.
For his first season at Williston Coach Dunn had a rather hard assignment. To him, ably assisted by Captain McEwan, goes a good part of the credit for molding, out of rather raw and inexperienced material, a team which showed a development and gradual improvement in soccer skill, and compiled a satisfactory season's record.

AS the 1930 Basketball season drew near prospects seemed unusually bright, and a good season was anticipated. However, at the end of the fall term eligibility rules claimed several of the squad; among them "Duke" Wasserscheid, one of last year's veterans. Handicapped by the loss of some of the more experienced players the Blue and Gold got off to a poor start, and rarely was able to pull out of the rut.
The individual play of the team members was much better than the scores indicate. Captain "Giddy" Gaudette was the mainstay of the team, and in every game displayed a good brand of basketball and sportmanship. While he was playing a bang up game at guard he was also a big factor on the offense, and compiled the best scoring record of the squad. Because of the general inconsistency of many of the players on the squad it was impossible to keep one regular team which could work effectively as a unit. Notwithstanding this, there were several games in which the team did work smoothly and played on a par with the best of the teams contested during the season. In these games Williston turned the tables on the well rated Deerfield Academy and Berkshire Business College quintets.
To start the season Williston played two games with Easthampton team: each team won a victory. These games provided a good opportunity to try out material before the official schedule was opened. On Wednesday January 15, 1930, the "Blue and Gold" lost the first game on record to the strong Baypath quintet by a score of 43-23. The game was rather dull, and only the stellar defense play of Captain Gaudette and the splendid team work of the Springfield Institute served to furnish a little excitement.
In the next contest the team came back to give the Springfield Freshmen a hard, fast game which the visitors finally won by a margin of three baskets. Williston was leading at half time, but the Freshmen staged a scoring rally, to pull away in the last few minutes of the game. Williamson, a former Williston player, starred for the winners.
After dropping the first two games, our team rallied to win from the American International College five by a score of 27-19. The game, although not over-fast, furnished much excitement. Captain Gaudette again starred for Williston Following this contest Williston travelled to Hartford to meet the Kingswood team, and was defeated after a hard fight.
With another defeat, at the hands of Vermont Academy, chalked up against us, the Amherst Freshmen quintet invaded the old gym on the following Wednesday to win by a score of 34-26, in a game marked by many spurts and I; t
starts. Matson and Kingsbury played the best for us. Here again Williston was leading at half time, only to lose in the final minutes.
There was no game scheduled for the following Saturday and the team passed a week of hard practice. The so-called "Ironheads" had again become eligible and a general revision was being made in the squad. This reorganized team lost to the Northampton High School on the next Wednesday, by a score of 60-28. Kingsbury and Wasserscheid played the best for Williston. In the game with Cushing this team could not get started and as a result lost another encounter.
The Deerfield Academy quintet journeyed to Williston on Wednesday, February 19 only to be defeated by the decisive score of 9-14. With rejuvenated spirit and excellent teamwork our courtmen led by "Gid", Wasserscheid and Matson, dominated their rivals from the start, up until the final whistle. In the last period Williston started a wild scoring spree in which Clarkie, Kingsbury and Giddy ran up half the total score of the game.
Hoping to turn the tables on the fast Northampton Commercial College Basketeers, our five entered the contest with lots of fight and determination; but the final score was in favor of the visitors. Clark and "Gid" played well for Williston.
With visions of duplicating the result of the first game with our established rivals, the squad journeyed to Deerfield to play the second game of the series. Our men displayed gameness and spirit, but the opponents snatched the game, with five baskets to spare. Duke Wasserscheid turned in the high score for the Blue and Gold. The honors for Deerfield were well divided.
In the next start we thoroughly trounced the Berkshire Business College in a fast,lively battle. There was little individual starring; the entire team working with almost perfect coordination. The high spots of this game were the efforts of Gaudette, Clark,and Wasserscheid. The final score was 38-19.
According to tradition, the annual game with Worcester was played in the old gym on Saturday, March 8th. In the first half the Williston five put up a splendid game, featured by the work of Kingsbury and Guadette. At the end of the half the score was 14-10 in favor of the visitors, giving evidence as to closeness of play. In the second half, however, the sudden spurt of Edwards, the Worcester star, to score a half dozen quick baskets put the visitors well ahead to win 39-19. This marked the last game to be played in the old gym, and although it was the first time in over twenty years that Williston had lost to Worcester on its own floor, it was a hard-fought, clean game and was a good climax for the permanent close of regular squad basketball in the gym.
The following received their letters at the close of the season: Captain Gaudette, Captain-elect Wasserscheid, Kingsbury, Clark, Morse, Matson, Hall, Hawk,Alderman, Hardman,and Manager Emerson.

AT the beginning of the season hockey prospects were very high, and the ensuing season proved the soundness of these expectations. Of last year's veterans there remained a small, but excellent, nucleus around which to build a new team. It was composed of Captain Willy Jenkins, the brother of Charles Jenkins who captained Williston's hockey team for the two previous seasons, and Dervin in the forward line, with MacKenney at defence. In the way of new material Williston likewise was well equipped. In answer to Mr. Galbraith's call at the start of the hockey season a large number of candidates for the first squad were present. It was a difficult job to pick the best from such a promising aggregation. However, after some fine judging on part of the coaches, the best few were chosen, underwent some expert coaching,and were molded into a well rounded sextet,one of the best in Williston's history.
Thanks to the quantity of excellent material, Coaches Galbraith and Lassone were able to use two forward lines equally advantageously. The first line was composed of Melbye and Dervin, at wings and Captain Jenkins, at center, while the other consisted of Murphy, Loughlin and Dexter. In the defence Williston had two fine players in MacKenney and Toon. There was a long, hard-fought competition for the position of goal-guard, which was finally won by
"Skippy" Gwiazda, who proved, during the rest of the season, to be worthy of the responsibility of this position.
The first game of the season was against Holyoke High School. Just as last year's game, this proved to be nothing more than a practice scrimmage for our team. Williston easily defeated their opponents by a score of le-o. The next game likewise was a victory for us. Enfield High was defeated in a rough, hard fought game by a score of 6-1. Both of the Williston forward lines showed real form.
At this point Williston suffered its first defeat of the season at the hands of a strong Wilbraham sextet, by the score of e-1. This game, the first one away,
LOSSONE was perhaps the most exciting of the year. It took two overtime periods for Wilbraham's incessantly attacking line to score the winning goal. This contest was marked by the outstanding stops made by "Skippy, at goal, the excellent support given him by both defence men and Murphy's remarkable tally through the entire Wilbraham outfit.
This defeat was followed by another: Deerfield beat us by a lone tally. Throughout the whole game Williston was unable to get started and played considerably below its usual form.
After the Deerfield defeat Williston had a winning streak which started when the Blue and Gold pucksters swamped the Stockbridge outfit 4-1. Melbye's two fast goals from scrimmage were the outstanding plays of the game. The next game was against the Amherst Freshmen. This was won easily, with four for Williston and none for the Sabrina yearlings. Captain "Willy' made the most of his opportunities in this game; he even made the opportunities, and pushed through three tallies.
Once more Williston scores a victory. This time against the Loomis six, with one goal to spare. It was an exciting game, with Dexter and Loughlin adding much to the suspense by their brilliant rushes.
Our next victim was Cushing; the victim of a hard fought battle. Cushing opened the scoring with their lone tally a few seconds after the opening whistle. The rest of the game was made up of the Blue and Gold attempts to score. They succeeded in doing this when Dervin and Dexter each scored one, making the final score 2-1 in our favor. The return game with Stockbridge resulted in another victory for Williston. The whole team ran smoothly.
The last game of the season, and the game we wanted most to win, was with Worcester. Williston lost the game, but it was not because we were a weaker team. In fact, Williston outplayed the Red and Black throughout the fray. Again and again, the Blue and Gold took the puck through the entire Worcester team only to be thwarted from scoring by the brilliant defensive tactics of McHugh, Worcester's stellar coach-captain-goal-guard. Captain Jenkins was the only player to penetrate the Worcester goal; this was when he made our lone tally, in the second period. Gwiazda, at goal for Williston, made some beautiful stops. The three Worcester scores were made as a result of the spasmodic spurts which the Red and Black sextet staged in the last two periods.
At the close of the season the following were awarded their letters: Captain "Willy"Jenkins, Dervin, Melbye,Loughlin, Dexter, Murphy,Toon, MacKenney, Gwiazda and Manager Fowler.
HOCKEY TEAM Left
AT the opening of the spring term, Mr. McDonald issued the call for the baseball candidates. After a number had been weeded out and sent to the second squad,it was soon evident that some excellent material was on hand. Besides Captain Loughlin, Gaudette, Dervin, DesRoches, and De Place, all veterans, there was an abundance of outfielders, enough infielders, and three steady pitchers. In the games played to date, the team has showed an excellent fighting spirit, and our opponents, though some of the games have been lost, have had to stay on their toes considerably.
In the first game, a practice contest, the Blue and Gold was defeated by the score of 8-7. The game was marked by numerous errors on both sides; and only the inability of both teams to capitalize "breaks" prevented a larger score.
On a rather cold and brisk day, the team journeyed to Amherst to defeat the college freshmen to the tune of 8-0. Stoddard, as hurler, besides pitching a shutout, got three hits. Captain Loughlin starred consistently.
On the following Saturday, the home nine met the Springfield College Freshmen only to be beaten by le runs to e. Powell, pitching did very well, but eight errors and some bad breaks lost his game.
The next game was with Deerfield and, after a contest of breaks our rivals finally came out on top of an 8-7 score. Loughlin's fielding was a feature.
In the exciting game, Baypath Institute, by tying up a five run lead in the ninth triumphed over the Williston nine in the twelfth inning.
The following game was played with Amherst High School, and, although handicapped by the loss of three regulars, the high school lads put up a good showing but were defeated by the score of 12-e.
Next we played St. Jerome high school of Holyoke. The paper city club, however, proved too strong for us and defeated us by ten runs.

COACH PUTNAM
In
DESPITE the fact that several of our best trackmen graduated last year, enough letter men remained for Coach Putnam to form a good nucleus for a successful team this year. Among those who secured their letters last year and have turned in good performances this year are: Dole, J. McEwan, Rapson, Hamilton,and W.Post. Several of the new men have done remarkably well. Those who have managed to make a fine showing so far are, W. McEwan, Melbye, R. Turner, Troy, Matson, and Gwiazda. Two men who have been at school before, but who are out for track for the first time are, Wasserschied and Root. These men have indeed turned in remarkable performances. Undoubtedly they will win their letters.
The first two meets of the year resulted in overwhelming victories. M.A.C.freshmen were beaten by a large margin of 8i-34, while Cushing was beaten,69-39. the first meet against M. A. C., Williston won all but three first places. Wasserschied and Rapson tied for honors with two first places apiece. Troy placed first in the broad jump and tied for first in the pole vault. Billy McEwan won the mile in fine style and Melbye took the quarter, closely followed by Riabouchinsky. Dole turned in excellent performances in the 100 and t0-yard dashes, winning both.
Cushing was the next victim in the victorious onslaught of the team. Wasserschied was high scorer with thirteen points. Dole was second with ten. In the javelin Matson heaved 150 feet. McEwan again won the mile,although closely pressed by Root. Post won the half-mile.
With these victories behind them, the members of the team and the school at large look forward to a good showing in the triangular meet,the objective of the season.
UNUSUALLY good weather conditions have helped the tennis team to round into shape rather quickly. Accordingly, despite an initial setback, the team has performed very creditably in the games so far played. Coach Galbraith, ably assisted by Mr. Lossone, has put into shape a team which is fairly certain to win most of its games, although faced by a difficult schedule.
Unfortunately, none of last year's team remained to form a nucleus, about which the coaches might build. Nevertheless, we were very fortunate in having an usual amount of good talent from which to choose. Those men who have proved themselves worthy of a place on the team are Robart, Kerr, R. Parker, Brooks, Troy, T. Sargent, Hall and Howe. These men have all performed very creditably in the first three matches.
The first meet, with the Springfield college yearlings resulted in a very close defeat for Williston, 5-4. Despite the fact that Robart extended his opponent to three sets, he was finally subdued by McCrey of the freshman team. Kerr and Parker were also set back after very exciting and strenuous matches; but Troy defeated his opponent by a fairly large margin 6-1, 6-1. Brookes steadily outplayed his opponent, while Sargent defeated his adversary in a convincing ashion. In the doubles Brookes and Troy won.
The fol:owing week the team met and subdued Suffield Academy. Despite the high wind that blew across the courts, the players performed very well. In the first singles match Robart was subdued, but only after a long struggle. Kerr and Parker took their matches in a decisive way, as did Parker. Howe was given some very stiff opposition, but at last won the match. Tommy Sargent won his first set, but lost the second; nevertheless his determined play won the next set or him. In the doubles, the teams did not work as smoothly, losing two out of the three matches.

ASIDE from the regular first squad representatives in the various branches of athletics, Williston boasts of a large group of enthusiastic muscle-builders, who are organized into what we will call intra-mural or sub-minor sports. There are no rigid qualifications for admittance to this striving multitude; all those fellows not on regular first squads are automatically invited to try their skill. Throughout last year several excellent teams were organized which not only did honor to Williston, by many victories over outside teams, but at the same time enjoyed the competition within their own ranks.
Last Fall the noteworthy "Canary"football squad with its trio of able coaches,(Messrs Hepworth,Lossone,and Putnam),presented two good teams,the"regulars" and the "Lightweights." The "Regulars" had games with Amherst High School and Northampton High. There were also two games with Deerfield; the first, a 13-7 defeat, and the second a hard-fought 6-0 victory.
Along with this group was the sub-minor soccer squad, commonly called "Fencebusters." This outfit built up a first team and played several outside contests. With Mr. Boardman as coach,the minor soccerites experienced a brisk, successful season.
At the close of the Christmas vacation the basketball "Tongs" were organized. The teams assumed team names and played among themselves in a lively schedule, which lasted the entire Basketball season and was finally topped by the "Pirates." Mr. Hepworth and Mr. Hastings had charge of it all.
Coach MacConnell took up, besides his other duties, the task of directing the second hockey squad. Games were played occasionally, and the season was climaxed with a 1-0 victory in the traditional Faculty contest. Although not over-successful, the season did much to awaken a real appreciation of the game among those fellows not sufficiently experienced to make the first squad.
Running parallel with these three winter activities was the Winter track squad, which practiced on the track beside the "Old Gym," under the supervision of Mr. Putnam. The inter-dormitory track meet climaxed this training. Each fellow was required to take part in at least one event daily; and when it was all over, North Hall had come out ahead.
As the Spring drew near, and the baseball season approached, we noticed some excitement and stir on the Campus diamond. Mr. Hepworth's and Mr. Hastings "Ditchdiggers" had organized a team and were playing a lot of games. This same field was used later for the round-robin Dormitory baseball games. It was a warm season; but it was a enjoyable one.
Many of the fellows preferred to play "not too serious" tennis during the Spring term. They made use of both the Campus courts and the extra ones at Ford. Next year some of them will probably graduate to the first squad.
At the beginning of the Spring term the regular outdoor track season was inaugurated, after a week or two of practice, by the Kennedy Meet. Everyone was welcome to compete, including the first team track men. Troy, Rapson and Dole finished in a triple tie for the total number of points scored.

THE Y Cabinet is the most important social agency in Williston. It maintains the Y room, in which are combined the lounging room, recreation hall, the secular libary and reception room for visitors. This room is furnished with all the equipment necessary for a comfortable clubroom. The Cabinet issues membership to the national Y. M. C. A.; provides the school with occasional speakers on pertinent and interesting subjects, and arranges informal Friday discussion groups for those fellows who "have something on their chests". These discussion groups were an innovation this year and have carried out interesting and successful weekly programs. In addition to these important functions the Y Cabinet arranges many of the school social gatherings. At the beginning of the year the reception at the Principal's home is under its supervision. Here the fellows are introduced to one another, and the new students are acquainted with some of the Williston activities. The Fall Buck Party, Hallowe'en Pow Wow, and a banquet each term are also arranged by this organization.
The credit for the excellent results of the Y program this year again goes almost entirely to Mr. Granniss, the faculty adviser of the Cabinet. He has always devoted himself to the development of a sensible, interesting, social calender for the school, and this past season has again marked his efforts. A student representation assists him in the planning and execution of the Y program. Two members of this group, Winton Johnson and Kenneth Brookes, attended the Annual School-to-College Conference of the New England Preparatory Schools, which was held this year at Brown University.
There is no one who would deny that the Y Cabinet has accomplished much toward making this year at Williston a pleasant and enjoyable one.

PrHE Student Council is a representative group of -I. students who act as the student governing board of the Academy. For the past year this group has shown efficiency and effectiveness in its purposes, and has become recognized as the most powerful student organization. It functions quietly, always for the improvement of the entire school body and with the maintainence of Williston rules, standards, and traditions as its objective. Because of the conservative method of operation of this body it often does not gain the praise that it definitely deserves. One must investigate the work of the Council to appreciate it.
The means employed by the Council in accomplishing their aims are of a constructive nature. Occasionally a disciplinary measure is used, but in general it is their purpose to so adjust conditions and individuals that infractions may be as scarce as possible. The members keep a keen watch over student affairs and activities in order to insure a high, school standard by remedying any internal discrepancies. From time to time difficult situations may unavoidably arise. These are dealt with impartially and sincerely by this organization in cooperation with the faculty. Probably the most valuable service rendered is in the constructive advice which is given to fellow students who have in some manner fallen into unfortunate circumstances. By correcting these problems the general atmosphere of the school is made pleasanter and more harmonious.
Membership in the Student Council is one of the highest honors which a student can obtain. The finest qualities of manhood are necessary to gain this coveted position, and one who becomes a member may well count his school life a success. Refinement, magnanimity, and uprightness are some of the essential requirements for candidacy. To these must be added a certain maturity of mind necessary to the responsibilities of government.
The current Student Council has worked faithfully under the competent supervision of its president, William Lamb, and Mr. Lassone, the faculty adviser, and has left many worthy accomplishments as its contribution to the general welfare of Williston. We hope that in the future the work of the Council will become increasingly appreciated. The support and cooperation of the entire student body is necessary to ultimately effect this result.
ITH the closing of another school year, Adelphi looks back with pride over its record of various successes. The meetings were well attended each Friday and proved to be of great interest to all who turned out for them. Although in the annual contest Gamma Sigma captured the votes of the judges, the Adelphian delegates caused the affirmatives not a little trouble. In the annual Worcester debate, Adelphi contributed a very able speaker to the victorious Williston team.
During the course of the past year Adelphi inaugurated a series of dances, open to the student body. These dances grew ever more popular as the series progressed. It was a thing which was not only new in the life of the school, but which also afforded a great deal of enjoyment to the school at large. The organization can indeed look back to the school year with pride.
MR.
DURING the past year this society has continued to increase in activity and attainment. By the efforts of representative members, it has established itself as an important unit of the school curriculum— both scholastically and socially. The newly adopted constitution, providing for a more selective admission has considerably affected the success of this organization. Although Gamma Sigma, independently and in cooperation with Adelphi, has run many dances this year, and has been instrumental in campus government, debating remains the ultimate purpose of the Society. In furtherance of this, the Gamma Sigma debaters won the first debate of a new R. R. Benson Cup series, by defeating Adelphi in the annual intersociety contest again this year; its fourth successive victory. James Mackintosh and Richard Salisian, both very active Gamma Sigmians, won first and second prizes, respectively, in the Annual J.P. Williston Prize Speaking Contest this year.

THE Williston debaters closed a most successful season by defeating the Worcester team both here and at Worcester, thus avenging last year's defeat and tying the score between the two schools. The six men on the team labored with great zeal and enthusiasm in order to win this annual contest. Their main object throughout the year in other debates was to gain experience for this final test of their ability. And at last, by dint of hard work their hope was realized by the favorable decision. The six men chosen were the foremost in the two debating societies, Gamma Sigma and Adelphi. These men were then divided into two teams. Three men, comprising an alternate and two debaters, were sent to Worcester and three men stayed at home.
The home team was comprised of Carl E. Milliken, Jr., Walter L. Post, Jr., and Eugene C. Bienkunski, alternate. The question was one which has been before the public eye very much of late. Resolved: That this assembly favors the principle of a Public censorship of the motion pictures. The debaters at Worcester were Richard A. Salisian, Lester N. Harding, and James F. Mackintosh. As at home, the team was victorious only after a keenly contested struggle.
MR. HERO
BY serving the dual purpose of awarding letters won in organized sports and the appointment of team managers, the Athletic Advisory Board plays.an important role in controlling the various athletic activities. The membership is evenly divided between the faculty and the student body. Those of the faculty, with the exception of Mr. Hero, are all coaches in the various sports, while the representatives chosen from the student body are usually prominent in athletics.
Having Mr. Hero as chairman provides an able and just arbitrator in the Board's decisions, which have always been most satisfactory.

l'HE Fall performance of the Dramatic Club came this year on the twenty-second of November. The entertainment consisted of four plays which were exceptional examples of careful casting, directing, and acting.
The first play on the program aroused a great deal of interest by virtue of the fact that it was written by a member of the present Senior Class, Baldwin Pearson. The action of this play was centered around an incident which was taken from Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables" and gave evidence of a great deal of dramatic appreciation on the part of the author. `Baldy' himself took one of leading roles and did an extremely good piece of work as Jean Valjean. Paul Riabouchinsky also did an excellent piece of work as the Bishop. Paul executed the part of the saintly Bishop with a great deal of attention to the tender and sympathetic nature of the character which he was portraying. Supporting the two leading players, were Chad Brown as Madame Magloire and Walter Post as Mademoiselle Baptisne. Both gave very fine interpretations of their parts.
The second play on the program was "Outclassed." Robert Post and Titus Konther,as the two boys who decided to take up the careers of wild-west bandits, showed a great deal of reality in the parts which they portrayed. Both of them seemed to get as much enjoyment out of playing their parts as the audience derived from watching them. The two supoorting players, Jack Fenney and Dana Devereux, did very well with their small parts and helped a great deal toward making the play a complete success.
The next play to be presented was "The Case of Johnny Walker." This was a most interesting "crook" play, the cast of which was headed by Richard Salisian. Salisian gave an extremely fine interpretation of the hard-boiled police Inspector. Kenneth Brookes showed a great deal of understanding in the acting of a small, but important role, that of "Kid" Walker. In the last play of the evening, the Club presented an hilarious comedy which continually kept the audience laughing. Thus, with "Thank You Doctor," the evening's performance was brought to a close.
MR. THOMAS
Though the Fall productions were excellent and aroused a great deal of interest, it was the Winter production which thoroughly tested and proved the ability of the members of the Club, and climaxed a successful season. After a great amount of consideration Mr. Boardman, shortly after the Fall plays, decided to attempt "The Merchant of Venice," by William Shakespeare. This was the first time that any director of the club had entertained such high hopes since the founding of the club, eleven years ago. Although he was faced with many difficulties Mr. Boardman set out determinedly. The final result of the many weeks of hard work, which he and the members spent, speaks more than anything which may be written on the subject.
As the fierce, bloodthirsty, and finally broken Jewish merchant Mr. Boardman did a marvelous piece of work. When he set foot upon the stage, it was as if an electric shock had passed through the audience. It was immediately realized that all were to see a masterful characterization of "Shylock." Much of the success of the play was a result of Mr. Boardman's acting.
For the first time in the history of the Dramatic Club, the female roles were taken by members of that sex. This was certainly an innovation which proved a great success. The leading lady of the play was Miss Elizabeth Carver, who gave an interpretation of the difficult role of Portia with a singularly delicate finesse. The other two female parts those of Jessica and Nerrissa, were ably taken by Sophie Russin and Mrs. William J. Lassone. Williston is greatly indebted to these three young ladies.
The parts of Antonio, Bassanio, Lorenzo, and Gratiano were taken by Baldwin Pearson, Richard Salisian, Robert Powell, and Henry Gwiazda, respectively. Each of these four did exceptionally well with their parts and showed good dramatic judgment in their interpretations. As much can be said for all the members of the cast.
One of the most interesting features of the performance was the striking scenery which the Club presented. It added much to the effectiveness of the production. The scenery and the general work on the stage was well managed by the stage crew; so that with these finishing touches the play as a whole was on a par with a professional production.
Williston is indeed proud of this year's Dramatic Club and especially proud of its versatile, scene-designing, acting, director Mr. Boardman. To him the school extends its sincerest congratulations and its heartiest wishes for his future success with the histrionic talent at Williston.

the close of the school year, a great deal of pleasure is derived from reviewing the several accomplishments of our separate organizations. Not least among these is our Glee Club. Indeed 1930 has been, perhaps, the most successful and remarkable year of that organization's existence.
In the first part of February, when the semi-final tryouts were held, there was not more than one quartette that knew the music. Prospects were pretty black. There was only one month more in which to learn the music and add the final touches before the Inter-Preparatory School Glee Club Contest was to be held in New York City, where ten other schools— Loomis, Choate, Pawling, Horace Mann, Worcester, Peddie, Tome, Riverdale, Deerfield, and Hill—would compete for honors. With this realization before the Club,a new spirit seemed to surge through the organization. After several weeks of unflagging effort on the part of the members and the Director, the Club was ready to take its place among those of the other schools. Perhaps a word ought to be said concerning the direction of this competition. Four songs were chosen by the committee in New York City to be prepared by all the contestants. One of these, "Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal" by Mark Andrews, a song which requires very delicate shading, was chosen on the final day as the Prize Song. The other three, "Tell Me Not of A Lovely Lass" by Cecil Forsyth,"Morning Hymn" by Isidor Georg Henschel, and "Give A Rouse" by Granville Bantock, were sung in unison by the combined Clubs after the individual contest had been held. A choice song, "The Song of the Western Main" by Protherce, the choice of the Williston Club, was also prepared and given. The Prize Song counted sixty per cent and the Choice Song forty per cent. Three men, all outstanding musical critics of New York City and vicinity, were chosen as judges. They kept their scores individually, each judging on five points, ensemble, interpretation, 94 l'HESIDENT MACKINTOSH

tone, enunciation, and pitch. The remarkable thing was that our Club tied Worcester, our oldest rival, for second place. It was the first time that any two schools had tied for a place in the history of the contests. Out of a possible 300 points both clubs received t48. Deerfield captured the coveted first place with a i6t.4 average. The contest is not only of interest as a competition with other schools, but it is also of great value to those individual members of the club who, when they go to college have aspirations of making the college glee club; for such an event brings with it a lot of experience and training that is invaluable to the candidate.
In its Spring concert, which the club holds annually in May, the Club departed from the usual procedure and invited the Worcester Club to come to Easthampton to give a joint concert one Friday night. On Saturday evening the Williston Club journeyed to Worcester to give a similar concert there. It is highly commendable that the schools should have this added interest, for it fosters a better understanding between them.
During Commencement Week the Club again offered its services to the school on Baccaulaureate Sunday, at the Alumni Dinner, and on Commencement Day.
Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. Rouse, the Director, for it is largely on account of his endless depth of energy and good leadership that the Club has been able to achieve the success of the past year.

/THE school orchestra has experienced justified success during the year 1929-30. Having at hand several experienced members of last year, and a sizable influx of genuine talent among the new members, Mr. MacDonald has succeeded in molding an orchestra of recognized excellence.
This accomplished group of musicians has played itself into fame if not fortune at various school functions throughout the year. Beginning with its initial appearance at the Halloween party, the orchestra has assisted at several events, contributing materially to their success. In every case the performance was in every way highly creditable to the musicians.
Indeed, it may be sincerely stated, that Mr. MacDonald, himself a musician, and a very competent leader, has produced, through unflagging effort on his part, and helpful cooperation of those working with him, an organization in which the school takes great pride.
Following is a list of the members and their respective instruments: Lewis H. Van Cleft, trumpet; Donald C. Sleigh, and Roger W. Felton, saxophones; Gilbert B. Johnson, Charles H. McKenney, and Robert C. Dodge, violins; Kenneth M. Hurd and Russel 0. Green, drums; Charles H. Angell, banjo.

TO adequately summarize, in one brief volume, the varied activities and events of a school year, to record the achievements of the various school organizations, to construct a memorial which the Senior Class may proudly keep through the years as a common bond between scattered friends, and to make the ultimate result an artistic and literary success has been the sincere aim of this year's Log Board. Toward this end the entire staff has faithfully devoted all its energy. At last, the work is done, and it is hoped that the finished product may be considered a worthy fulfillment of these ideals. The success of any such important undertaking is mostly dependent upon the editor. With perfect sincerity, it may be said that the ceaseless, faithful, and sacrificial work of Harry Kingsbury, has been most directly responsible for the success of this publication. He has spent long, arduous hours, has sacrificed many possible pleasures, in order that this best should be the best ever produced. Working cooperatively as a unit, the Assistant Editors have all devoted their efforts toward the good of the cause. It is through their individually doing their part that the satisfactory completion of the work has been achieved.
The artistic quality of this publication is the result of the careful endeavors of the two art editors. Their work is of the highest and most commendable quality.
The business end has been most capably and efficiently upheld by Gordon R. Clayton. This position is a difficult one to fill, and the man who does so successfully is to be complimented.
Thanks are due, also, to several persons not connected with the board, whose suggestions and criticism have been of great help. The Board sincerely appreciatesall this and takes this opportunity to extend its thanks to all those who have in any way assisted.
GORDAN R. CLAYTON Business Manager
All of us unite in extending our thanks to Mr. Stanley MacConnell. His unfailing willingness to assist and his sound advice in all exigencies have been invaluable. Through his guidance we have been able to successfully complete our work.

DURING the past year, the Willistonian, under the direction of its capable editor, Albert Spence, has attained a high • degree of success. Mr. Winship, acting in the capacity of faculty adviser, has devoted much of his time in helping the editor with his work. To Mr. Johnston and the business staff goes the credit for the good all around financial success of the paper. The
ALBERT W. SPENCE, JR. standard of the work has Editor I:een exceptionally high and uniform. It would be difficult to cite any one paper as standing out above the other issues.
The entire editorial staff deserves to be complimented and congratulated for its hard work and for the excellent results it has accomplished. They have worked faithfully and diligently to give the school their best and they have made a great success of their efforts.
The benefit which the school derives from such a publication as the Willistonian is quite evident. The paper is a fine medium through which individuals can appeal to the different elements throughout the school. Many times very good advice is to be found on the editorial page. In this department the Willistonian is very effective and has gained much praise for itself. The Willistonian has also been of great influence in arousing the school spirit of the students. Comments and reports on athletics, social activities, and the general curriculum are always to be found in it. Thus a student is able to have a better appreciation of the work and purpose of the school.
Williston can rightfully be proud of its publication, and we believe there are very few students who do not sincerely agree with this. The class of 1930 wishes the Willistonian an ever increasing degree of success and glory in the years of the future, and extends to the staff its honest appreciation for the good it has done for both the school and the students during the past year.
WINSHIP
THE Junior School, during the past season, under the able guidance of Headmaster Cunningham, has not only equalled its high precedents, but in many ways it has surpassed them. The beginning of the fall term found a new record enrollment in the school of forty-three boys, including five students doing part time work. The majority of these boys are preparing for the Senior school; twelve entered the Senior School last fall and a much larger delegation is expected to enter next September. Two new instructors assumed their positions this year: they are, Milton K. Corbin, an experienced worker with younger boys, and Sanford D. Mosher, who came from the Raymond Riordan School. With these exceptions the faculty is the same as last year's, including all the special teachers.
Mn. CUNNINGHAM
There have been many additions in the school equipment during this last year. Among these was an excellent moving-picture projector which has afforded many entertaining evenings to the boys. There are also some new classrooms, at the present time under construction near the cottages, for use next year.
The fact that many of the Junior School graduates are doing well in the upper school manifests its thorough training and tends to create a closer union of the two Williston units. The growth of the Junior School has been very steady since it was first founded, and without a doubt continued progress will be seen in future years.

Week of May 20—Much more ado about the various "hers." or "shes" is the inevitable subject of sessions—now that the Prom is over. And a fine time was had by all! That regular blue Monday was worse'n ever.
A progressive school with eighty-nine years of solid achievement behind it. Williston is a democratic school for earnest, cleanminded youth who aspire to leadership.
