THE WILLISTON LOG

For 1934

PUBLISHED BY

THE SENIOR CLASS OF WILLISTON ACADEMY

EASTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS

Respectfully Dedicated To

Whose inspiration, advice, and understanding have made him esteemed by all.

FOREWORD

These last few years have been red-letter years in this country. A new spirit is in the land under the leadership of President Roosevelt; the people have had to throw out some mistaken pre-depression conceptions and start in anew. These have been trying years, but the whole-heartedness and the patriotism of our countrymen, who have not feared work, have brought us out from depression into a world of security and hope.

Keeping in step with the times, the "Log" has not failed.

This year, the editors have carefully studied new ideas, trying to find the newest and latest improvements in publishing, adding those which seemed the best, and discarding entirely many of the old ideas. The reader will find a new style of design throughout, a style which has never been used in the "Log" before, a style modern and revolutionary; but he will also find the pictures and descriptions of school life and activities so arranged that all the important facts and figures are immediately discernible.

Therefore, the editors, keeping faith with President Roosevelt's great work, have tried to publish an original "Log", a "Log" which keeps pace with this new and modern world.

SONNET OF '34

Now we the parting class of '34

Have taken one more step along Life's Way; We face the dawning of another day, And that which future holds for us in store. Of knowledge we have gained a little more; We've made true friends we'll cherish, day by day, And though tomorrow's skies be fair or grey, We'll guard and keep thine honor as of yore.

But in our hearts dear memories we'll hold Of friends and places we have learned to love; And so until we're gathered in His fold, Praise Alma Mater to the heavens above; And to the end let still our watchword be:

All hail to "Christo et Ecclesiae!"

GLEE CLUB

When the call was made for candidates for the Glee Club, some fifty boys responded. With this material the director, Mr. Rouse, succeeded in creating one of the best clubs Williston has ever had. This year, as a result of the earnest efforts of Mr. Rouse, the club has had more concerts than ever before. Although the unusually large number of concerts took a considerable amount of extra time, the boys all enjoyed singing, a fact which added greatly to the spirit that was put into the concerts.

Another reason for the Glee Club's remarkable success is the fact that the group knew a large variety of songs. They had religious songs for certain occasions, and they had negro spirituals and humorous sea chanteys for less formal presentations. In this respect the club is very thankful to Mr. Rouse for preparing them a variety of songs for all occasions.

The first presentations of the season were given in Easthampton and surrounding cities. These appearances served as a preparation for the more important ones that followed. The first important concert was given in the Jones Library at Amherst, where, although the self confidence of the club was a little lacking, the boys made a creditable showing. The next and most important was the annual Williston-Worcester combined concert, held at Worcester cn Saturday evening, April twentyfirst, and in Easthampton on Friday evening, April twenty-seventh. Needless 'to say, the home club far outclassed the Worcester Club both in the numbers sung jointly and in those sung individually. Following this, was a very successful concert in the Unitarian Church at Gardner. The last appearance of the year until Commencement week was in the Benjamin Franklin School at Holyoke. Here again the Club was well received and applauded.

The remaining appearances of the year come at commencement time; one in the Congregational Church on Baccalaureate Sunday, another at the Alumni-Senior Banquet, and the last one of the year at the graduation exercises. The whole Club looks forward to an enjoyable climax of a successful year.

Some of the particulars for which the Club has been praised are the wonderful balance of tone and the perfect harmony. In addition to the Club as a whole the quartet, composed of J. Reed Alexander, Richard Hawkins, William Coates, and John Taylor, sang several selections adding a great deal to the program. Another feature of the program was the soloist Donald Lippman who showed very exceptional talent. All in all, the Club has had a very successful year and no little credit for its success is due to the efforts of Mr. Hyde, the accompanist, and Mr. Rouse, the inspiring director.

THE DRAMATIC CLUB

Under the able direction of Mr. Boardman and Mr. Cobb, the Dramatic Club completed its fifteenth year of increasing successes. Mr. Boardman and Mr. Cobb coached the fall plays together, but owing to Mr. Cobb's sabbatical, on which he left in mid-winter, Mr. Boardman coached the the winter play alone, with the added burden of playing the leading role.

In the fall, the Club presented the following one-act plays: "Swimmin' Pools", by Belford Forrest; "God Winks", by Katherine Burgess; and "Copy", by Kendall Banning.

The winter production, the most important of the Dramatic Club's efforts, was Porter Emerson Brown's "The Bad Man". Through the winter months, the Club worked quietly but tirelessly, and on March 16th, this play was presented, being received as one of the most popular plays the Club has presented in many years.

Highest acting honors went justly to Mr. Boardman, playing the title role of "The Bad Man", Pancho Lopez, the modern Robin Hood of Mexico. The remaining leading parts were filled by Ralph Plumb, playing capably the role of Gilbert Jones, the hero; Malcolm Creighton, the leading lady, Lucia Pell; Herbert Reiner, Jr., Lucia's husband, who is the villain; and Richard Carland, whose interpretation of the eccentric old man, Uncle Henry, was received with great acclaim.

THE ORCHESTRA

The orchestra this year was comprised of a rather quiet group of musicians. Rehearsals were started early in the year under the proficient direction of Mr. Hodgkinson, but little could be done because certain indispensable instruments, such as drums and clarinets, were lacking. Progress was made, however, with the available instrumentation despite the need for a well-rounded tonal equilibration.

The efforts of the orchestra are always appreciated. Its work is to play at tea-dances and other school functions. The orchestra members will recall how they worked together and enjoyed the resulting harmony and friendship. For this our musicians should not be forgotten, for they collaborated in earnest desire to produce something beautiful which has shown them, after all, not only the purpose of music and art alone, but one of the important principles of life itself.

THE "Y" CABINET

This past year the Williston "Y" Cabinet has been more active than ever before. It has undertaken a great many activities, and under the leadership of Mr. Granniss has succeeded admirably in every one.

There are two important functions which this organization carries out. First of all it is the chief social agency of the school and sponsors such activities as the Buck Party, "Y" Reception, and some of the dances. The second and most important function of this group is the welfare work that it carries on. Last winter the "Y" Cabinet, by means of "Golden Rule" dinners, succeeded in raising money which was distributed among needy families in the community. As usual a collection was also made to collect funds for a school in the south.

In addition to these activities the "Y" also benefits the student by providing national membership in the Y. M. C. A. It is also responsible for the maintenance of the "Y" room which has recently been redecorated and equipped with a radio.

Another duty of the organization is to send representatives to the various prep schools conferences. Last December the "Y" Cabinet was represented at the Northfield Conference by Paul Thorpe and John Treadway, and in June it will send delegates to the Blairstown Conference. 1 9 3 4

BELLES LETTRES LITERARY SOCIETY

This year the Adelphi and Gamma Sigma societies combined after over sixty years of independent existence. The merger was effected by a 7-5 vote. The combined societies formed the one Belles Lettres Society, and immediately there was a great deal of interest in it. Throughout the school year the new society was under the faculty advisement of Mr. David Thomas. Under his direction many interesting debates were held. The Belles Lettres Society also sponsored a wellattended dance during the winter term.

The first officers of the society were elected in the fall term when James Moffett was elected president and Freeman Frost vice-president. During the winter term Freeman Frost and Glenn Zwiebel were elected president and vice-president respectively. Glenn Zwiebel was made president for the third term, and under him William Sleeper, class of 1935, was elected president for the fall term of next year.

WI LL I STON-WORCESTER SYMPOSIUM

The fourteenth annual Williston-Worcester Symposium was held with its usual success this year on the resolution: "The Fundamental Principles of the N. R. A. Should be a permanent Part of Our Government."

After an informal meeting with Deerfield Academy on the same question, our debators met the Worcester team simultaneously both here and at Worcester on Friday night, April 13.

The affirmative team which remained in Easthampton consisted of Richard Scanlon, Alexander Streloff, and Paul C. Sullivan.

The negative team which spoke at Worcester was made up of Reed Alexander, Harry B. Sanderson, and Penn Parker Pillsbury.

As the purpose of the Symposium was to find the truth in the problem, the decision of the audience was based on the personal opinion and not on the presentation of arguments by the debators. The vote in both cases was exceptionally close. At Worcester sympathy for the affirmative seemed to dominate, while here the opinion of the audience tended toward the negative.

It is hoped that future relations with Worcestor in the Symposium, as in all activities, will be as pleasant and successful as they have been in the past.

THE WILLISTONIAN

Back in 1879, Adelphi was printing The Oracle, and Gamma Sigma was issuing The Mirror. At length, those two old debating societies decided to edit jointly a weekly paper, and the next year, 1880, The Willistonian appeared. Now in its fifty-third year, The Willistonian is one of the oldest preparatory school papers in the country, and Williston may take justifiable pride in the history of its paper.

Although the Willistonian is an old tradition, it is also an active and vital part of our school life. Its purpose has been twofold: To present an opportunity for experience to the editors and managers, and to preserve a record of school life. The training that The Willistonian affords is of inestimable value to those who take advantage of this opportunity. The accounts of school news and sports activities review the life of the week and preserve the history of Williston for the future.

To Mr. Winship and Mr. Johnston as faculty advisers the School expresses its sincere appreciation and gratitude for their aid and sympathy.

Harry Sanderson, as editor-in-chief, has worked untiringly and faithfully in the production of the paper. He deserves great credit for his devotion to his task, and for his efforts in preserving the standards of the Willistonian.

Paul C. Halstead, the able and energetic business manager, also deserves a vote of thanks for his success in managing his staff and the business of the paper.

To the rest of the staff is extended the appreciation of the School for their efforts throughout the year in both departments of the paper.

Through periods of unavoidable trials, The Willistonian has progressed and carried on its traditions. Those editors and managers who will not return next year extend their sincere good wishes to those who are to carry on this work of building a newspaper.

THE LOG BOARD

The Log Board is proud to announce the successful completion of this annual,for it has been their endeavor to present the facts of the year in such a light that the result will be not only a temporary record of achievement but also a permanent memorial of old days. This was the incentive which encouraged the board to work with diligence and proficiency. We wish to express our gratitude to the entire school and to pay tribute particularly to the outstanding members of the board for their faithful services.

Our managing editor, Clement P. Gilchrist, has spent a great amount of time and effort in organizing the material and compiling the book. His assistant, Malcolm L. Creighton, has worked with a willing efficiency that is more than commendable.

As literary editor of the Log, James B. Pond has supervised the written work with great care and intelligence. He, and his associate, Ralph H. Plumb, should feel justly satisfied with such an ineffably pleasing outcome.

The business department, headed by Peter R. Paladino and associate managers, Phillip F. Groesbeck and James C. Moffett, has been very successful with its work this year. It was only through a great deal of labor and perseverance that the financial backing for this annual was obtained.

As you may readily see, the Log depends to a great extent upon photography for vividness throughout the book. We speak specifically of the interesting snapshots concerning the everyday school life. Freeman W. Frost and his group of assistants have very successfully portrayed, occasionally with a humorous touch, the highlights of the various activities throughout the year.

Although we have not space to discuss in particular the work done by every member of the log staff, we wish to inform the reader that the production of this book could hardly have been achieved without their assistance. The heads of the various departments outlined and dispensed the work among the large group of assistants who, in reality, should receive as much credit as the officers of the board.

Finally, we wish to have you join us in expressing a heartfelt tribute to a very benevolent and competent member of the faculty, Mr. Earl N. Johnston, who has constantly given his time as supervisor over the entire Log staff. May we add further that it was through his advice that the general plan of the annual Log has been altered in this issue for the purpose of making our 1934 Log a still nobler achievement as well as a milestone in the ever-growing history of Williston Academy.

THE ATHLETIC ADVISORY BOARD

The Athletic Advisory Board, which performs throughout the year the difficult task of planning and directing the activity of the many athletic teams in school, has also two other important duties. One is to award letters to the students who have excelled in any one of the sports, and the other is to appoint team managers.

The student members of the Board are chosen each year to represent the different halls and the day students. The Chairman, Mr. Hero, the only faculty member who is not a coach, holds a position which will be almost impossible to fill in the years to come.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL

The Student Council is a group of students, selected because of their high character and integrity, who act as the student governing board of the school. It is their duty to help maintain high standards of school life at Williston.

The greatest part of the Council's activity is in attempting to prevent misdemeanors by those students who might be inclined to commit them. Minor penalties are occasionally imposed in order that serious difficulties may be averted.

This year, however, due to the excellent cooperation of the majority of the members of the student body, the Council has found it unnecessary to reprimand many students. But it has, under the able leadership of President James B. Pond and the helpful advice of Mr. W. J. Lossone, the faculty adviser, done much to improve the general morale of school life.

THE RADIO CLUB

Last February,two students, John Frey and George Hanchett, both very much interested in radios, obtained permission from Mr. Galbraith to form a Williston Radio Club. A call was issued to all boys who might be interested, and ten responded. This club, although not very large, proved to be very active, for within two months of its founding, a three stage, crystal control transmitter with a fifty watt input to the final stage, and a three tube all-electric receiver were both in successful operation.

While awaiting a club license, which has recently been applied for, the station has been operating under the call letters of John Frey, WIAK, and successful communications have been held with amateur operators in twenty states, including such distant ones as California, Texas and Florida.

The officers of the club are John Frey, president; George Hanchett, vice president; Colton Halstead, treasurer; and Gordon Halstead, secretary. Frederick B. Hyde is the acting faculty adviser.

It is hoped that next year many new members will join the club to make it even more interesting.

ATHLETICS

FOOTBALL

The 1933 football season was the most successful that Williston experienced during the past decade. Our powerful machine finished with six games won, and one lost, and that to Cushing by one touchdown.

The season opened against Suffield, and the Blue and Gold, although lacking team play, had little difficulty in winning 13-0. Todd was the outstanding player of this game, his smart passing and running bewildering the opposition to the point of distraction.

Trinity Freshmen came next, and Williston walked away with a 61-0 victory under her belt. Plumb excelled in this game, crashing through the enemy line time and again, and Welch, with his pass-receiving, ran him a close second.

Williams Freshmen put up a stiff fight, and Williston had difficulty in edging them out by a 14-6 score. The yearlings pushed over a touchdown in the first minute of play, and it was only with a maximum of effort that Williston eked out a victory.

In the Wilbraham game, the Williston gridsters began scoring in the first minute of play, and continued to do so till the end of the contest. The Wilbraham boys deserved great

credit for putting their heart into every play, even with the score looming up against them. The final count was 29-0.

Cushing turned back our powerful team by a score of 13-7. Plumb scored the lone Williston touchdown, and Todd added the extra point.

Deerfield was defeated by the close score of 6-0. Davey Todd scored the touchdown on a beautiful plunge off tackle.

Mt. Hermon and Williston renewed athletic relationships, after thirty-five years, on a snow covered field. The 12-0 score completed our season with victory.

Plumb led the scorers for the season with 46 points, Todd 36, Welch 26, Wentworth 24, Taylor, Hawkins, and Kendall 6 apiece, Bob Smith 2, and Murray 1.

Our fine coach shaped a splendid team out of a limited amount of material. Captain Bill McNeil and Bob Smith at the tackles formed a skeleton line. Captain-elect Ray Manning and Shadow Moffett were both dependable ends. Dick Hawkins at center had on either side of him a sturdy guard in John Taylor and Frank Swanson. Ralph Plumb starred at quarterback with his generalship and running ability. Dave Todd was an ideal triple-threat man at half back. Paul Welch at the other proved to be a fine pass receiver. Whitey Jamrog and Phil Wentworth alternating at fullback proved valuable both offensively and defensively.

SOCCER

The 1933 soccer team, although handicapped by the loss of several letter men including William McEwan, star center forward of the valley, nevertheless turned in a creditable record by winning five games, losing five, and tying none. At the beginning of the season, Coach Boardman was faced with the almost impossible problem of moulding a team up to the Williston standard out of, with the exception of a few men, comparatively new men. The fine result of Mr. Boardman's efforts was not particularly in the record of games won or lost but in the exceptional amount of teamwork and coordination which made this year's team stand out.

The Blue and Gold booters opened the season with a hardfought, 1-0 victory over Smith Academy. Rod Bent was responsible for the scoring, and both Captain Pond and Clark Raynor played sterling games. In the next encounter the team

lost to Hopkins Academy, 6-2, in a raggedly played contest, and dropped a close decision to Holyoke High, 2-0. The Springfield College Frosh was the next team to defeat our soccer combine, but the squad showed marked improvement and gave promise of developing into a winning combination.

The season's climax was reached when, after losing a 4-2 game to a sturdy A. I. C. team, a famous Worcester Academy combination was blanked through the superb cooperation of the whole team. The season closed with two easy victories over Massachusetts State Jayvees and the Mount Hermon School, 6-1 and 3-0 respectively.

Throughout the entire season the team possessed a fine sense of sportsmanship and fighting ability. A great deal of credit is due to Mr. Boardman for his almost superhuman efforts in training a winning and hard-fighting combination from nearly green material. 1 9 3 4

HOCKEY

When this year's hockey squad started its practice for the oncoming season they had hopes of continuing a three year undefeated record into its fourth year. The squad did not turn out to be over plentiful with material, but in Captain Dave Todd, Bill McNeil, Paul Welch, and Frank Swanson, Coaches Galbraith and Lossone had a reliable quartet about which to construct a team. We were also faced with the handicap of inexperienced goalies. The first game showed an evidence of weakness in the forward line, although our undefeated record was still intact at the end of this game. The next week saw a general revision throughout the lineup. Paul Welch was shifted to center forward from his usual defense position. John Taylor was moved into the vacant defense position. These two with Todd and Swanson as the wings, McNeil as the other defense, Ray Merrick in the goal made up the first sextet. This combination with Ralph Plumb, Roger Warfield. and Emery Whipple as the alternating forward line continued the season in which fortune favored to have Williston halt in its string of victories to be subdued by Deerfield, Mt. Hermon, and in the final game by Yale Freshmen.

A fighting Deerfield Sextet subdued Williston only after they had come from behind to tie the score in the third period and sink the winning goal in an overtime period. Our flashy captain, Dave Todd, peppered the Deerfield goalie with shot after shot, but he could not seem to slip one into the net. McNeil, our sturdy defenseman, put up a great battle throughout the contest, scoring one of our goals and assisting Dave in the other. In the Mt. Hermon game, which was nip and tuck throughout, Paul Welch, the Wellesley flash, starred for Williston with Todd and McNeil performing in their usual brilliant manner. Wyman, the visitor's star, proved to be a marvel on ice. He was undoubtedly one of the best center forwards our team faced this year.

Considering the fact that there was a limited supply of material out of which to construct a well balanced team we should feel justified in giving this year's team as much praise as we have given any of the undefeated teams in the past.

BASKETBALL

The basketball team of 1934 completed a season even more brilliant than that of last year's quintet. Eddie Jamrog, who possesses the combined qualities of excellent leadership and playing ability, conducted the team in every game.

The team, of which only two members had ever played for Williston previous to this year, displayed a distinguished brand of basketball throughout the season. Captain Jamrog and Mike Baranowski, who, according to Mr. Hepworth, is one of the steadiest players he ever coached, filled the guard positions. Don Murray played an indefatigable game as forward. His speedy footwork, accurate passing, and "eagle" eye are qualities which were largely responsible for the team's success. Fran Corkery, and Rod Bent shared honors as the other forward. Both of these boys showed speed and steadiness, and Fan scored many points on long shots. Last, but not least, we have much praise for our worthy center, Bob Smith. On the tip-off, he did his part so that the team might gain possession of the ball from the first. Despite his great size, he moved about the floor with surprising agility, and his long shots tallied many a point for Williston.

Little more need be said about the team, for the honors heaped upon it speak for themselves. Smith earned the title of high-scorer among Western Mass. Prep Schools. Jamrog, Murray, Smith and Corkery were selected as members of the All-Western Mass. team, while Bent and Baranowski received honorable mention.

The Five won all but one of the sixteen games. This single defeat was the result of a very close and thrilling contest with Bay Path Institute. The rest of the games, which were equally as good, included two victories over Deerfield Academy, one of the school's traditional rivals.

The climax of the season saw a very exciting game with Worcester Academy. This struggle was probably one of the most sensational ever to take place on Williston's floor. With Worcester leading 28-22 at the beginning of the fourth period, Williston crashed through to a 48-34 victory.

Mr. Hepworth's conscientious coaching was largely responsible for the brilliant showing of the quintet.

TRACK

The track team has, as usual, had its full share in maintaining the high degree of athletic prestige that consistently successful teams bring to the school. Brilliant individual performances by the members of the team, aided by the careful and capable coaching of Mr. Putnam, along with his assistants, Mr. Hyde and Mr. Cobb, have resulted in two decisive meet victories so far this season, over Cushing, and Suffield and Wilbraham.

The trackmen faced in their first dual meet a Cushing team that was highly favored to win. Yet, in spite of this, Sammy's men scored firsts in ten out of thirteen events and won 75-41. Bailey was first in the broad jump and pole vault, while Reiner won the javelin and half mile. In the dashes and hurdles, Ryan, Giovanazzi and Wakelin starred, scoring eight points apiece. 1 9 3 4 Page forty

Reiner, Todd, and Plumb each won two firsts and a second for a 13 point total. Swan and W. Bailey tallied 8 apiece, Ryan 6, and J. Moffett and Warfield each 5.

The Suffield-Williston-Wilbraham meet turned into an unusually close contest between Suffield and Williston, with the Blue and Gold finally pulling away for an impressive win, by virtue of wins in all of the weight events and in the high jump and broad jump. Bailey and Todd gained 10 points apiece and Wakelin 8. The final score of the meet was Williston 60 1/2, Suffield 45, Wilbraham 7 1/2.

One more triangular meet is scheduled with Loomis and Deerfield on May 26, and the season will close with the Amherst Interscholastics on May 30. 1 9 3 4

TENNIS

This year the tennis team, captained by Clement Gilchrist, has done remarkably well. With only two veterans, Captain Gilchrist and Pillsbury, and a hard schedule to face, the squad started practice very soon after the Easter vacation. So far eight matches have been played off, and out of them, five have been won, two lost, and one tied. Gilchrist and Brookes played in first and second positions and exhibited many exciting matches. The third and fourth positions were occupied by Sibley and Pond, while Treadway and Pillsbury filled the two remaining places. Bria played in the doubles and acquitted himself very well whenever called upon to play in the singles.

The weather, being moderately good, permitted the team to prepare for its coming matches. The first match with Worcester South High School was played on April 14 and resulted in a decisive 7-1 victory for the Blue and Gold.

Encouraged and confident, the team faced the Suffield school and had little difficulty in winning the 4-2 match. But the following match proved to be stiff.

Traveling to Westminster, the team found a strong opponent, and in a hard-fought match the teams came to a tie. Sibley, Pillsbury, and Pond won their matches, and the strong combination of Sibley and Treadway gave Williston its fourth point.

The last game to date was against Worcester North High Wilbraham Academy School, resulting in a 8-0 win for the Blue and Gold. This Loomis was the third consecutive victory, and it shows that the team aims to finish its season with an excellent record.

The matches yet to be played are against Worcester Academy, Wilbraham, and Loomis. With Mr. Galbraith's expert coaching and the cooperation of the team, the Williston netmen look forward to a successful season. 1 9 3 4

BASEBALL

The 1934 baseball nine has had an unusually successful season this spring under the supervision of Coach Watters, winning eight out of the first ten games on their schedule and outscoring opposing teams by a count of 133 to 68.

In their first game, the team lost to Springfield Freshmen, 14-9, in a loosely-played contest in which they displayed strong offensive power only to lose as a result of ragged work in the field. The following week they made up for it by winning a smashing, 12-6 victory over Connecticut State Freshmen and scoring a 19-9 win against Westminster School.

Williams Freshmen were the next to fall before the powerful Blue and Gold onslaught, losing 14-5 as Williston rallied in the fourth and eighth innings. Welch starred on the mound, fanning 14 batters.

The next tilt against Deerfield Academy, proved to be one of the most exciting and well-played games of the season, in which Williston lost 6-5 because of a trio of fielding errors at crucial points.

Then followed an easy 26-7 triumph over Albany Academy. Albany showed good form at times, but were unable to compete with Williston's superior offense.

Two more victories followed in the annual two-game series with Suffield School, the first 13-6, the second 10-7.

The game with Cushing was one of the main highlights of the season. Since Cushing always has a strong team, the fans expected a close, exciting game, only to see Williston take matters in their own hands to win 11-1. Welch pitched a sterling game and received unusual support in the field.

The last contest up to this writing was played against Wilbraham, with the Blue and Gold winning handily by a 14-7 count. Four more games are scheduled against Worcester, Loomis, Mt. Hermon, and Deerfield.

Much to the credit for the success of the team is due Paul Welch and Don Murray, who turned in consistently stellar performances throughout the season as first string pitchers and catcher, respectively. The fielding gems contributed by outfielders Baronowski and Wentworth, and the heavy hitting of Todd, Welch, and Corkery also were important factors in many a victory. The team as a whole may well feel proud of the record so far chalked up and bids fair to make this record even more impressive before the close of the season.

THE CHEERING SQUAD

This year the cheering squad, under the able guidance of Captain Penn Pillsbury, the only veteran of the squad, accomplished its purpose with great success. For the few years that the squad has been in existence, a noticeable imprcvement in the morale and spirit of the school has resulted.

At the first of the year try-outs were conducted, the result of which was the appointment of three fellows to the squad. They are T. Moffett, A. Spaulding, and G. Bradley. The excellent work of the captain and the cooperation of the other members helped to make the squad successful.

The squad helps tremendously by conducting "Pep rallies", and during athletic contests the squad backs up the team and encourages the school at the same time. The spirit shown at rallies and athletic games is so enthusiastic and whole-hearted that it speaks well for the work of the cheering squad.

Much credit is to be given to the cheering squad for its splendid work, and it is a worth while organization for the school to have. 1 9 3 4

"Phil" in his three years at Williston has made a good record. No other Williston student in the same length of time has taken part successfully in such a wide and varied program of school activities. "Phil" is not afraid of work—a fine quality in any young man. In going from Williston he will leave many friends within the school and among the towns people. He has done his work here, and we wish him success in every enterprise he undertakes while at Union.

He played on the basketball team and was one of the best captains that Williston has ever had. He also played a stellar game on both the football and baseball teams. He is a member of the Athletic Advisory Board, and as a student he is a hard worker. Next year Williston will miss "Jamie", for he has done a great deal for the school.

Along with his brother, Lindsay entered Williston three years ago and won a position on the soccer team. He has also participated in other sports and has proven himself an able athlete. Lindsay has many friends, and no wonder, for he is cheerful, good-natured, and good-looking. How can he help being a success at M. S. C. next year?

Without doubt "Tom" proved to be one of the most valuable players on the soccer team this year. For three years he has been on the soccer squad, and this fall he surpris- ed everyone by his speedy, clever playing and his high-scoring ability. He sings in the Glee Club, and is popular among his friends. He expects to enter M. S. C. this fall.

M. Whitelock McKinney, a product of Wellesley, appeared at Ford Hall four years ago. It did not take him long to make many friends all over school. Then he moved up to South, where he became a great pal. He has a great liking for going to Northampton, was basketball manager, and an all-round dependable fellow. Best of luck at Middlebury.

Wellesley sent another of her famous sons to Williston last year, and it was not long before "Mac" became one of the most popular fellows in school. Football, Hockey, and Baseball have been his forte but he has always found time to make honor lists. Dartmouth is his next step and every one knows "Mac" will succeed.

"Shadow" "Pete" "Doc"

"Shadow's" interest in many activities goes to show that he is one of the fellows who keeps things rolling in a school. His efforts and suggestions contributed, in no small degree to the overwhelming success of our Prom this year. We know that Williams will be honored by his presence in its student body if he continues to be so active.

"Pete" is one of the most conscientious fellows in school. He seems to be endowed with a ready hand and an active will. Few fellows can claim a popularity equal to "Pete's". We know that Williston will suffer a great loss when he leaves, but may his success continue at Yale and through the future so that Williston may regard him as one of her greatest productions.

Penn is primarily noted for his eloquence in public speaking. For the past two years he has won the J. P. Williston Prize Speaking Contest. Penn is also an excellent tap dancer, and he has performed at many of our school dances. A sense of humor is a good thing to have, but when it is as effervescent as Pill's it causes a little trouble now and then.

"Plumbie" well deserves the honor of having been chosen by his classmates as the senior who has done most for Williston. He is President of the senior class, associate editor of the Log, a member of the Student Council, and an excellent actor in the Dramatic Club. As an athlete he ranks as one of the best in school, being a three letter man for the two years that he has been in Williston. "Plumbie" has the ambition of accomplishing great deals, and we feel sure that he will be a great success.

There are few fellows who could maintain a record equal to "Ducky's". He is our Valedictorian, a distinction which speaks for his scholastic attainments. He has seen three years of service in varsity soccer and captained this year's aggregation. The long list of extra-curricular activities exemplify versatility and popularity of the nth degree. May success live with him through college and life as it has through Williston. He will enter Yale this fall. 1 9 3 4

The Dramatic Club found him very valuable, for he played one of the leading roles in the club's major production. Amherst is "Tom's" chosen college, and we feel sure that he will be a success there.

Henry came to us last fall from that place called Turners Falls.

His cheerful conversation and quiet manners have made him well-liked by everyone, and he certainly has made many strong friends.

He is undecided as to where he is going next year, but wherever he goes we are sure he'll be a success.

"Dave's" achievements seem to run in music, and we can truthfully say that there are many who envy such talent."Dave" tries hard in athletics but he does not seem to possess that certain something to pull through. He seems to enjoy Williston life, and may Middlebury have something in store for this fair-faced Vermonter.

He was president of the middle class, and this year, vice president of the senior class. Seldom have we had a more versatile fellow. He plans to enter Harvard where we know he will stand high in athletics as well as in scholastics. In losing "Dave" the school is losing one of its most valuable assets. Success to you,"Dave", in the years to come!

"Dave" Turpisch, famed cow-boy of Williston, artist, dramatic critic, will long be remembered as that cheerful fellow who always had a smile for everyone. When he gets way out in the wilds of the wild West, we are sure that he will be a great success.

He is a fine athlete, being on the football squad and a very valuable member of the track team. "Ed" is a great friend of everyone, and though he is undecided as to his college, he should prove a success wherever he goes.

If there is anyone that wants to know the what, why, and how of things, it's Roger. That, however, is one way of finding out the facts of life, that is, providing you believe only half of what you hear. "Rog" is one of that group of boys that keeps the school carpenter busy repairing North Hall. But what is school life without a little deviltry? Good luck at Dartmouth, "Rog".

THE PROM COMMITTEE

The 1934 Prom Committee deserves much credit and praise for the excellent piece of work they did in planning the prom. Many people were justified in saying that in every respect it was one of the most successful proms ever held.

The Prom Committee, who made the plans for the dance, consisted of James Moffett, Chairman, Phillip Groesbeck, Glenn Zwiebel, Robert Sibley, Willard McNeil, and Penn Pillsbury. The committee was under the faculty advisement of Mr. Lincoln D. Granniss.

THE SENIOR PROMENADE

The Senior Promenade, the most colorful social affair of the entire school year, was held on Friday evening of May eleventh. The new gymnasium, where the formal dance was held, was attractively decorated with blue and gold streamers running from the center to the four walls. Beautiful sprays of apple blossoms and evergreens were also attractively placed around the walls. At one end of the floor the stage was set, and from here came the delightful strains of Ed Murphy's sophisticated rhythm. At the opposite end of the floor the hostesses received.

The promenade was very well attended by more than fifty couples, in which number both seniors and undergraduates were represented. The girls were from many of the neighboring schools and colleges.

CUM LAUDE SOCIETY

For the past thirteen years there has been in existence at Williston a chapter of the Cum Laude Society, whose purpose like that of the Phi Beta Kappa Society in colleges, is to encourage and reward high scholastic attainment among students in secondary schools. The faculty members of the Williston chapter are Mr. George H. Hero, president, Mr. Lincoln D. Granniss, Vice-President, Mr. Melvin J. Cook, Secretary-Treasurer, Mr. C. A. Buffum, Mr. A. V. Galbraith, and Mr. S. N. Morse.

In April of the past year two seniors were elected to the society; James B. Pond and Peter Paladino. Five more were announced in May. These honored were Gifford Griffin, Edmund Anderson, Paul Welch, Lewis Benton, and Robert Sibley.

Of these men the highest in scholastic achievement was chosen as the Valedictorian of the class of 1934. James B. Pond, because of his brilliant record, was given this honor. 1 9 3 4

THE LOG

THE JUNIOR SCHOOL

The Williston Academy Junior School, which is located only a short distance from the Academy Campus, has for many years thrived and developed under the expert guidance of Mr. Cunningham. The Junior School was founded by Dr. Sawyer, and with its own classrooms and dormitories it offers students all possible advantages for scholastic accomplishments.

The education at the school prepares the boys for their coming studies, which they will undoubtedly encounter at Williston Academy. The outside activities, which the boys take great interest in, include manual training, dancing, music, and drawing. The day is not complete unless the boys engage in some sport which is directed under able supervision, and the school is usually represented by athletic teams which compete with outside groups.

MR. CUNNINGHAM,

Much credit is due Mr. Cunningham who for a number of years has successfully carried out the aims of the school. His assistants are people who are especially interested in the training of young boys and who give individual attention to each student. The purpose of the school is to prepare boys for secondary schools, and judging by the remarkable standings which Junior school boys later obtained in the Academy, the education in the school ought to equal the best of any school of its kind.

It is hoped that in the years to come The Junior School will continue to grow and keep up its excellent record in preparing younger boys for the next step in higher education.
