THE '40 LOG


THE '40 LOG
THE LOG, Williston Academy's senior year book, serves a double purpose: to give the departing students a memento of the fruitful years spent in the shadow of Mount Tom, and to keep the outside world acquainted with events on "Sammy's" campus. Every year, in order to carry out these aims, there is an effort to improve upon the previous volumes. Last year's revival of student sketches has proved successful and will be continued.
At the approach of our Centennial, to be celebrated in 1941, it is most natural to recall the past and take stock of our heritage and traditions. Accordingly, we have chosen "Tradition" as our theme, and have inserted throughout the book maps of Massachusetts and historic events leading up through the founding of the school to the present time.
Thus the 1940"Log Board" respectfully submits this book for your perusal in the fond hope that henceforth the name of Williston may mean something to you.
How very much more animate thou art, Than any man that lives by single heart. Not through one organ does your life-blood course; Nor single voice expound your every thought. But myriad tongues and hearts do you possess To prove the truth of your own vitalness. And life you give unto your boundless brood In flesh of knowledge; blood of brotherhood. But greater gift than any man can see Is yours in aim of immortality.

The LOG is not only of great interest at the time of its publication but as the years pass by it gains in value as the best,—possibly the sole,—authentic record of the life of the school.
To those who are responsible for the excellence of its production the thanks of the school are due. To them I offer my congratulations.
To the Class of 1940, who in it make their last appearance as undergraduates, I offer my friendliest best wishes.

MR. 11 ‘1"ARD G. BOARDMAN, Alumni Secretary
WILLISTON ACADEMY'S •CENTENNIAL occurs in 1941. For it, preparations have been very elaborate during the last year. Mr. Herbert B. Howe '01, the Executive Secretary of the Trustees' Committee on the Centennial, has been very active in this work. He has had a series of Alumni dinners to discuss various phases of the Centennial program, he has assembled much memorabilia: old athletic teams' pictures and the score, also the Logs and Willistonians of importance; he has arranged a tentative program for the extensive commencement exercises in June of 1941; and,in cooperation with the Alumni Secretary, Mr. Howard G. Boardman, has begun the organization of inactive classes and directed the assistance of the active ones, the most prominent of which is the"Sammy" class-1905, towards making the Centennial a success. The ceremonies in question will take place on June 6, 7, 8, 1941. There will, however, be a secondary school conference here on May 16, 1941 at which four prominent educators will speak, and to which representatives from the neighboring colleges and schools will come. The Commencement period itself will open on the sixth of June with an Alumni dinner of welcome, followed by a dramatic presentation of the founding of the school. The next morning four members of the faculty will give talks on the present work of the school. Then there will be a parade from the Old Campus through Easthampton's Blueand Gold decorated streets to the New Campus, with luncheon in the Recreation Center. In the afternoon there will be a varsity game on Sawyer Field, with Galbraith Field and the Southampton Golf Links open to the Alumni; refreshments and entertainment will be had at the Junior School and Payson Hall. In the evening a Commencement dinner and dance will take place, with fireworks terminating the day. On the next morning, Sunday the eighth, the Baccalaureate Service will be held at the Congregational Church. Shortly after, luncheon will be served on the lawn of the Homestead, followed by the unveiling of a Williston Memorial Placque on the New Campus. The Commencement exercises, to take place in the Gymnasium, will themselves have some interesting features.
It is hoped that the class of 1940, now joining the ranks of Alumni as the 99th class, will play an important part in this program for the celebration of Williston Academy's 100th Anniversary.

•"JACK" is a well-known fellow in the gym pool. His excellent diving has won him the plaudits of the entire school. Not only is he a swimmer par excellence, but he also participates in many other sports. "Jack" is one of the few who are devoted slaves to "Hamp" School. Best of luck at Brown!
•"WELL, of all things," as Eddie Fields would say, "here is 'Sad Sam'." We have finally uncovered the Willistonian mystery writer who gave us wisdom versus satire in his biweekly column. "Sam" is also a writer of humorous poetry, a well-known exponent of moustache-raising, and a Boston Herald fan. See you at Harvard.
•THIS smooth apple is Yonkers' "Bob" Arbuckle, a Spanish athlete with a doughnut complex. His wit is unsurpassed; he knows more gals than the rest of the class combined. Let us hope that "Smooth Robert" is as successful with hotels as he is with doughnuts and papers.
•"FRITZ" is one of our most ardent photography fiends. An honor student, he has gained many friends here at Williston. He plans to scoot about the country this summer on his motorcycle. If "Fritz" keeps up the good work, he will surely be a success at R.P.I.

•"JACK," the "Tam o' Shanter Kid," is a sincere fellow who has gained himself many friends. He will always be remembered for his Frank Medicoes and a room continually loaded with edibles. A soccer ace, a big man in the Glee Club, a good student, John Emile has proven his worth again by aiding in publishing this Lou.
•"AL," the school's lone Canadian, has proven his nationality by his skill on the ice. He is also a track star of no mean ability, and he was an elusive 'back on the football team. His cheerful disposition and good nature made "Al" one of the most popular fellows in North Hall.
•"CHICK" is a charter member of the South Hall muscle trust. He is a cheerful fellow, always playing his victrola, rearranging someone's room, or holding conversations with his neighbors. After two years in the East,"Chick" is returning to his home state to go to the University of Michigan.
•"BERT," South Hall's man with a woman for every occasion, can be seen toddling down toward the railroad tracks on any fine evening. In wrestling, he is the best man in his weight class. Many are the hours we have spent sitting around, listening to "Bert" tell of his numerous exploits.

•"MILT," hailing from over the mountain at Holyoke, was the center and one of the mainstays of the crack Canary Football Team. For two years he has been a prominent member of the Glee Club. An excellent proof of his ability as a poet can be seen on page six.
•"RAY" is one of the few day students in the senior class. He is also one of the few four-year men in school. "Ray" was famous as one of "Put's" best Fencebusters, and also made an excellent manager for the track team. "Ray" was probably, best known for his savoir faire as a genial host at cracker 'n' milk period.
•"BUFF," a great athlete, in the one year he was here, was able to make football, basketball, and baseball. His handsome features surmounted "Granny's" tux at the Glee Club concerts. "Buff" held down the hardest job in school, namely, waiting on Mrs. Harper's table. He also was a good student.
•"BUDD'S" laugh may be still heard ringing through the ivy-enclosed walls of Ford Hall. Unnoticed at the beginning of the season, he soon won recognition on the soccer team. As a member of the Dramatic Club and the Student Council,"Budd" has won the respect of his many friends. He is sure to do well at Amherst.

•"BILL" is another of Ford Hall's blond glamor boys. He was a star on the famed Fencebusters this last fall. He was especially noted as a patrolman of the pastures on the baseball team and as a garnerer of a mere ninety on his thesis. More power to you, "Bill."
•"TEED" was an ace goalie on the soccer team and captain of tennis. His deep delvings into the intricacies of synthetic chemistry were a source of consternation to his lesser fellows, and his cavortings on the courts were bloodthirsty in his will to win. "Teed" will grace the Wesleyan campus with his fair form next year.
•"GUS," who is the vice president of the Senior Class, is a well-known figure hereabouts. He was in the Glee Club for three years, and played the part of Samuel in the "Pirates of Penzance." His skill is not limited to his voice, for he was on the football squad three years and was active on the Loa.
•"EL," a fast man on the cinders, does not slow down when off the track. His stretch of bounds has rarely been surpassed. As a dancer, he is thinking of going into competition with Bill Robinson."El" is also known for his cockney accent, southern style.

•"CHUCK" nonchalantly appears not to have studied, but he will stand extremely high when the final tabulations are taken. Active in many extra-curricular activities, the genial, nocturnal host of Room 23, North has won many friends both old and young, throughout the school. His amazing perseverance will carry him far.
•"BOB" has gained fame for his prowess on the soccer field, although injuries dogged him all season. He proved his worth as a mathematician when he won the geometry prize last year. "Bob's" voice boomed forth out of the first bass section of the Glee Club again after a long absence. Good luck at Wesleyan!
•"BUZZ," one of the few lucky fellows appointed to West Point, is one of the best-natured lads in the school. He won Coach Putnam's regard by his hurdling and high-jumping. Frank seemed to understand nothing about his subjects, but he knew everything. He will be quite the boy when wrapped up in a Cadet's uniform.
•"SENATOR MARSH DOWE" came to school in September, fresh from a delightful vacation. In three months he was a letterman in football and an honor student. His place in the class was assured at the discovery of his devastating wit. "Casanova" will slay them at Brown.

•"DROZZIE" is one of the few day students from Northampton. He was Manager of this year's Canary Football Team. Incidentally he is the proud possessor of a G. & P. (Get out and Push) limousine, vintage of 1897 or so, in which he makes his daily trek from 'Hamp.
•"ESBY" is noted for his excellent play in football, as well as in track and basketball. One of the "North Hall Raiders," his escapades have brought him fame and quite a few sentences to the Saturday Night Club. He is also a fireman of note.
•"DIAMOND DON" is one of those guys you can't help liking. His rare wit and pleasing personality make him a friend to all and foe to none. As if this weren't enough, "Don" is the basketball captain who never let his team down, the ace high jumper of the track team, and a fine soccer goalie. Wherever he goes, we know "Don" will have plenty of friends.
•"WILLIE'S" activity in the Glee Club and in track has made him very popular among his fellow students. For a fellow who entered Williston just before the half year, he has done very well in his work and is sure to succeed at Union next year.

•"WILL" is the outstanding athlete in school. His net-minding in hockey, and backfield play in football, combined with his unbeaten record as a halfmiler on the cinders, have won him renown. His work as a Sports Editor on the Willistonian, and his general all-around good fellowship have won him many friends.
•"BUD'S" marvelous singing voice has long been a feature of the Glee Club. He is not, however, a one-activity man, holding varsity letters in soccer and baseball. He also had a leading role in the school operetta "Pirates of Penzance" produced in conjunction with the Northampton School for Girls.
•"ABBIE," the hard working head of the Loa's Literary Department, is known around South as an outstanding student of literature, especially in the "Superman" field. It is a rare night when one can find "Abbie" perusing his text books. Nevertheless be has shown himself to be an outstanding student obtaining honors throughout his scholastic career. Keep that pipe burning.
•"LARRY" is the head of the Business Department of this year's Lou, and • he has been an outstanding worker. He is a Glee Clubber of note, and a member of the double quartet. His scholastic abilities have kept him on the honor roll throughout the greater part of the year.

•WHO'S that Latin from Easthampton? Our old political boss and athletic advisor, "Rod" Halphen, answers, of course. He may come from south of the border, but he certainly gets around up here. A sincere student and capable athlete,"Rod" is sure to be successful when he enters Duke next fall.
•"MIKE'S" capable game of soccer for Boardy's team this fall, and the strains of his voice in the Glee Club concerts will long be remembered. More than that, there is one fair damsel at the Burnham School whose palpitating heart bears eloquent testimony to his standing as a romeo.
•"BIG RALPH" was a large reason why the Blue and Gold rarely met defeat on the basketball court this winter. His prowess as a footballer also raised him in our esteem. He is especially beloved for his "Ratchester" accent, and stories of hair-raising adventures over Spring Vacation.
•John Arthur is chiefly noted for his beautiful script with which he adorns all his written papers. Since the departure of certain boys, "Hymie" has managed to keep his scalplock intact. The "Duke" has considerable talent as a secret agent and cowboy.

•AND now we come to that little man they call the "Mighty Molecule," the weight man. Many a happy "jam" he has started with his faithful drum. Genial and ever "hard working," we can expect any one of a number of accomplishments from our friend. He may find himself in either aviation or dentistry. At least we're sure to hear of "Jaggard and His Jammer's."
•"BIG BOB" is one of North Hall's famous fourth floor boys. His satire, which permeates this edition of the Loa, has won him renown. On the football field, Bob is a flashy end. He is the foremost member of the bounds list. He also simply loves dancing class.
•"JOHNNY" is probably the most outstanding member of the senior class. On the soccer varsity for four years, he has developed into the best prep school soccer player in the v nity, and his ability on the basketball court is not far behind. He is Presider of the Senior Class, and has been on the honor roll consistently.
•FROM 'Hamp give arrives every morning in a flashy Plymouth convertible a noisy, lot (two) ofeday lads. The leader of this mob is "Rog" Kellogg. He has achieved a reputation as a quiet, studious scholar and an amiable fellow-student.

•"BIG DAVE" will be remembered for his card playing. Coming from Vermont he is naturally a fine skier and has shown it in many instances. Here is for bigger and better Williston reunions.
•"BIG BRUCE" came from Worcester Academy and was straightaway appointed captain of football. He was a tower of strength on the defense. His pugilistic combats with "Mike" Silin were gruesome and bloody. Taking after his brother Dave, Bruce is really a swell and popular fellow. Too bad that M.I.T. does not have a football team.
•"RAY" is probably the best prep school basketball player in New England, averaging about fifteen points a game and sparking the team to its best season in years. He is also a baseball and a football star. "Ray" is one of North Hall's elite between the hours of 11 P. M. and 2 A. M.
• BLACKIE" is a fellow who is in everything. His work on the Willistonian and on the LOG has developed him into no mean essayist. As a villain in the Dramatic Club production, "Curse You! Jack Dalton," he could not be surpassed. "Blackie" has joined, in fact has started, many of the South Hall fads. His sideburns, developed with the help of Gladys, were the pride of the hall.

•"SLY JOHN," the cowboy artist from Maine and New York, hopes to be a forest ranger. If John works as hard at that as he does at smoking his pipe and studying, he will be Chief Ranger some day. In the meantime he plunks his banjo, acts as a charming escort at dances, and is a swell guy in general.
•WHENEVER we think of hockey, we think of Captain "Weenie" Logie. "Bill" is also a star performer on the football and golf teams, and is a foremost authority on how to escort young women to dances and basketball games."Will" is sure to win friends and success wherever he goes.
• `JIM" is one of the Williston intelligentsia. His lofty intellectual discussions with Fred Mahan and Mr. Hyde will be long remembered, as will that striped cutaway he wore one fair Easter morning. He seems well on the road to becoming another Lucius Beebe.
•"BUD" is a wrestler of no mean note. Although he looks like a hard case, his voice is one of the best in school. He is a member of the double quartet, singing first bass. "Bud" is another fellow who picks his "queenie" from the "Hamp" School. The screeching of his violin, heard all over South, has driven many fellows to serious thoughts of mayhem.

•"FRED," a member of the Double Quartet as well as an outstanding soloist, has been the President and mainstay of the Glee Club for the past year. He is also a conscientious student, devoting much of his time to his studies. His voice will be remembered for many years.
•"SIL" was one of the most versatile entertainers of the school. A group was always to be found in his room listening to "Sil" pluck out his inimitable renditions of popular ballads on his banjo and his guitar. The boys will surely find a warm place for him at Syracuse.
•"BOB" was one of "Put's" Fencebuster Soccer aces and the mainstay of the Canary Hockey sextet. Although Mr. Thomas has yet to find him awake during study periods,"Bob" easily keeps his name high on the honor list. In fact, M.I.T. should be glad to get such a student.
•WHO is the possessor of the famous "Smile of Beauty"? Who is the idol of thousands of college girls? Who is a star on the football field, basketball court, and Captain of Williston's 1939 Baseball Team? Who is the Editor of the Willistonian, honor student, and brain-truster of the Student Council? None other than our boy-wonder, Carey Matthews.

•"DAVE," Ford Hall's gay cavalier with the fairer sex, is known far and wide as a swing addict. "Dave" is by far the most conscientious student in the school. His work often finds him keeping late hours in his closet studiously perusing his books. "Dave" can be seen from a distance, ,due to his Harlem fashions, straight from Rutland's flashiest clothiers.
•"MONTY," one of South Hall's better athletes, is also a well-known figure in the Glee Club. He has kept up a high scholastic average, and is especially known for his history marks. There isn't a sport "Monty" can't play.
•"MONTY" is especially known for his ability on the ping pong table, and his enthusiasm in the affairs of the LOG. He is also quite popular with the fair sex. In fact, he returns from the post office each morning laden down with perfumed stationery. May he be as successful later as he was at Williston.
•HERE is President Morse, or Quasimodo, as he is more popularly known. "Lew" is the proud owner of a dilatory ticker which drags the scholars, one and all, to classes. This lad, from "East Cupcake," Conn., has distinguished himself athletically and scholastically at Williston and leaves many friends behind.

•"BOB," the Photographic Editor of the Lou, has done much to insure the success of this year's edition. The son of the Williams' swimming coach, "Bob" is one of the best aquatic athletes in the school.
•"LARRY," one of Easthampton's outstanding citizens, is also a prominent actor. His performance in this year's Dramatic Club production of "Journey's End" was one of the best in the play. He was a star of "Plumbie's" Canary Football Team, and his shot-putting has long been a feature of Williston track meets.
•"BIG BEN," Holyoke's gift to the civilized world, is one of the school's best Chemistry students. Also an outstanding member of North Hall's infamous fourth floor club, "Ben," in his quiet way, is quite a man with the women and is a smooth dancer. Headed for R.P.I., "Ben's" mathematical mind is sure to carry him far in his chosen field of Chemical Engineering.
•TO those who know him well, "Stretch" Norton is one of the best all-around fellows at school this year. A rabid swing fan, he is the foremost authority in school on the subject. During the basketball season, he gained the name of "Pointed" because of his consistent scoring. We hope that he will do as well at Yale next year.

•"KUSA" is North Hall's seasoned explorer. Having seen a large section of the world, he settled down and became an outstanding member of the Williston student body. His skill in jiu-jitsu is outstanding as is his wide popularity.
• DON," one of Ford Hall's card players, is known for his taste in clothes. He is also the owner of a very smooth car, which is often seen drifting over Mt. Tom with some very pretty furnishings. His good natured comradery is one of the backbones of Ford Hall.
•"RED"turned out to be an all-around athlete during the interdorm competition. He is quite the boy at any dance which may occur. Red is a great help to "Hodgie," and with diligent work on the Model T motor may have the old junk heap turning over by graduation.

The Cum Laude Society is not merely a school honorary society, but a chapter of a national society with chapters in most of the preparatory schools in the country. At Williston this society stands for more than merely an excellent scholastic standing, since the members are appointed for character and ability in other fields as well. The members of this society are exceptional, but representative of the school's high-grade work, and these men may be sure to carry on through life their excellent intellectual curiosity and the character for which Williston is responsible.

Since the Senior Promenade is t he outstanding social event of the school year, the Prom Committee which is responsible for it has long been an organization of importance. This year's committee is no exception. It is made up of Norton, the chairman, Ortel, Hurst, Begole, and Baxter.
The committee deserves special commendation this year for one of the best "Proms" in the history of the school. Largely through the good offices of chairman Norton, they were able to secure one of the country's better dance bands in the person of the Mal Hallett orchestra.
The Prom Committee was also in charge of the decorations put up in the gymnasium, where the "Prom" is always held. This year the central item was a golden bell with blue and gold streamers, augmented by banks of fir trees set up along the walls.
More than seventy couples attended the "Prom". They were received by Mr. Galbraith and members of the faculty, who acted as hosts. In summation, many thanks are due to the Prom Committee for its able management of the best "Prom" this school has enjoyed for many years.
The Senior Promenade, the outstanding social event of the school year, was particularly successful this year. Its success was largely due to the excellent music of Mal Hallett and his Orchestra, who held forth from eight until one o'clock. The school was especially fortunate this year in securing the services of such a fine orchestra. Much credit is owed the Prom Committee, both for its superb decorating of the gymnasium in blue and gold, and for its careful and well-planned arrangements for the entire weekend. Seniors and underclassmen alike had a most enjoyable evening.
Patrons and Patronesses: Mr. and Mrs. Archibald V. Galbraith, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Cunningham, Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Cook, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Putnam, Mr. and Mrs. W. W.'Watters, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Rouse, Mr. and Mrs. A. L.

The Student Council is one of the older student organizations in school. Its members, formerly chosen from class and organization presidents, are now elected by the Council itself from year to year from the school at large. There were six boys elected during this school year.
The Council is an essential part of the student body in its supervisory function over morals and general good conduct. It is employed to express the feelings of the majority of the students to the faculty when necessary. This year's Council presidency was held for the first half-year by John F. Keller, and for the second half-year by Charles C. Matthews.
The most important activity of the Student Council was the planning of the dances which followed several of the home football and basketball games. In addition to this, it also enforced the honor system which was established by last year's "Y" Cabinet and Student Council.
Ably acting as faculty advisor was Mr. William J. Lossone, who has, for a number of years, counselled the organization at its meetings.

One of the oldest, most active, and most beneficial organizations in the school is the Y.M.C.A. Cabinet. It exists to promote contentment and companionship among the students, to lend the school in assisting welfare groups, and to keep up good relations with Y.M.C.A. organizations in other schools.
This year the Cabinet initiated its regular program with a successful reception and party for the new students. At the end of the fall athletic season, as at the end of the spring season, there was the friendly smoker for presentation of awards, during which several interesting talks were given, and after which refreshments were served to terminate the evening.
At the Deerfield game, the idea of a large gold "W"on the grandstand enclosed in a blue field was carried through and proved quite colorful.
As a special feature, the Cabinet maintains a cabin about three miles from the Old Campus, where the boys may relax a little from their studies tad find opportunities for camping or hiking. In the fall of 1939, the school bought this cabin plus thirty-five acres of land. The "Y" Room in North Hall is also accredited to the Cabinet, which originally created and maintained it.
By way of carrying on its assistance in welfare work, the Cabinet collects clothing and donations for the benefit of the Welfare Fund and for distribution to other welfare organizations, and at times it holds Golden Rule dinners for charity.
Under the leadership of Mr. Lincoln D. Grannies, the faculty advisor, and Lewis Morse, the student president, the Y.M.C.A. Cabinet has had a good year and has fulfilled its dui les well.

From each of the dormitories and from the group of day students, there are elected each year five boys who are the student members of the Athletic Advisory Board. In conjunction with four faculty members, this group determines the courses of the athletic year.
At the close of each athletic season, the Board awards letters for satisfactory participation in varsity sports, and at that time it names the managers in the particular sports for the following year.

The Adelphi-Gamma Sigma, debating society of the school, was originally two societies, Adelphi and Gamma Sigma. In 1933 these combined under the title of Belles Lettres, but in the succeeding year it took its present name, a combination of the two old ones.
Every Friday evening at nine o'clock the society holds a meeting in Middle Hall. At the meeting the members take up the business matters of the club,. assign talks for the next week, and give prepared discussions on various subjects. When these discussions are over, a forum is held in which current topics are reviewed and considered.
This year a major improvement was made in the society when a new constitution was drawn up by President George Hashim. This is the first time in over twenty years that any change in policy has taken place in the society, as the chief clause in the new constitution requires higher standards for entrance and membership in the organization.
Under the capable direction of Mr. David Thomas and the club officials much commendable work was done by the society this year, and the entire society is deserving of credit.

The Glee Club has once again proved to be one of the finest organizations in the school. Not only does it provide an excellent chance to train young voices, but it is also quite a social organization. This is one organization which has proved to be invaluable to fellows going into college singing:
Mr. Rouse, the director, chose a large repertoire of songs, including works by such composers as Bach, Handel, Haydn, and Gilbert and Sullivan. The custom of including Negro spirituals has been continued, and one new spiritual has been introduced,"Ain't Gonna Study War No More." The repertoire as a whole has had many additions which replaced some of the oft sung melodies of past years.
The double quartet has been an outstanding feature of all the concerts. Their renditions of such songs as "My Bonnie Lass" and "To All You Ladies Now On Land" has earned them much applause. The members of this group are: Mahan and Regole, first tenors; Cleveland and Gittins, second tenors; Lovett and Graham, first basses; Tench and Tedeschi, second basses. Bud Gittins also sang several solos, all of which were excellently rendered.
The combined concert with the Northampton School for Girls was held at the gymnasium, and it proved to be a great success. This concert was followed by a dance, as was the concert with the MaeDuffle School of Springfield, both of which proved to be very pleasant. The usual trips were made to surrounding cities. The concerts, as a whole, were well presented and greatly appreciated.
Following last year's precedent, the club gave a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta in conjunction with the Northampton School for Girls. The production this year was the uproarious comedy, "Pirates of Penzance." Janet Jenkins and Jean Malcolm were given the feminine leads, and performed in a virtually
professional manner. Frederick Mahan, Clarence Griffins, and Donald Tench, the three leading male characters, also acted in a style which drew the applause of all spectators. The performances were given in the Williston gymnasium on the evenings of May 3 and May 4. Both were attended by large and highly appreciative audiences. It is sincerely hoped that the custom, started in 1939 and continued in 1940, of giving these operettas will long be followed.
A large part of the Glee Club's success can be traced to Mr. Rouse and Mr. Hyde, the director and accompanist respectively, who devoted much of their time to the betterment of the organization.

For the fifty-nine years that the Willistonian has been in existence, it has given its thorough support to the various activities of the school. Through its editorial column, the paper has played its part in establishing improvements of athletics, curriculum, and moral nature. It has kept the school well up on •current news as well as on subjects of historical interest. The Willistonian has always realized its responsible position as an organ of the school; it has appreciated the fact that its columns may be of future use as a record of events and of student opinion.
For 1939-1940 the Willistonian has enjoyed a very successful season. Its prosperity and improvements are due primarily to the able Editor-in-Chief, Carey Matthews. Due to Matthews, the paper was given more photographs illustrating current events; it received more samples of Miles Eddy's cartoons satirizing student problems and faults; the paper included a number of articles of historical interest, as well as a new humor column. More attention was given the alumni and various student organizations, and a new exchange column was added.
Donald Evans, capable business manager, ran his department well and had a successful financial year. For assistance in his duties, an associate manager was added.
The entire staff should receive credit for its cooperative work of the past year.
To the remaining members of the staff, the class of 1940 wishes good luck in the perpetuation of the upward trend shown in the Willistonian these last two seasons.

For thirty-seven years the LOG has presented a concise résumé of all the events of the school year and of all the activities of the many teams and organizations. This year again the Loa has been published to bring to the students a book to be kept for the future, to, perhaps, at intervals, refresh the reader's memory of the formative years of his life.
Because the staff is so large, it is impossible to commend each individual worker, but it is possible to thank everyone as a group, for the production of a book with some interesting things on every page, varying from the class grouch to the class friend, and from candid camera shots to serious editorials.
Many of those who read the Loa are probably not cognizant of the tremendous amount of work which is done to publish it. The cooperation of the entire student body, as well as the members of the staff itself is essential. Much time is expended on the compiling of such material as sports reviews, senior write-ups, underclasses, Glee Club, only to mention a few. We must remember, however, that the work of arranging the book falls on the heads of departments, and due credit should be given to them. But not only is internal cooperation needed but also that of the printers, engravers, professional photographers, advertisers, all doing their parts in cooperating with the Board.
Over the Lou Board there is a steadying influence in the person of Mr. Johnston, who advises and aids, in every possible way, in bettering the book. To him the Board extends its heartiest appreciation for his much needed advice and encouragement.

Directors: MR. H. G. BOARDMAN, MR. L. H. PALMER, MR. H. L. SMITH
The Dramatic Club gave its annual performance at the gymnasium on March 8. The play, II. C. Sherriff's "Journey's End," was given previously by the club in 1935. The acting was especially good in the closing acts. The scenery, designed by Mr. Boardman, was very good, in view of the exiguity of material with which to work.
Jay Quinn, as Captain Stanhope, was more than adequate in the leading role, the other actors following his example of poise and naturalness. We were all well satisfied with Jay's performance. Mr. Boardman portrayed a very human Lieutenant Osborne and was a prime factor in the general quality of the acting. Lindsay Collins, the raw Lieutenant Raleigh, was excellently cast in his part. His scene after the death of Osborne was easily the best isolated bit of acting in the whole play. If he continues to do as well, he should be a worthy companion for Quinn in next year's productions.
Among the lesser characters, one stood out like a fat man in a famine. Mutter, the affable, stolid Second Lieutenant Trotter, came far closer than anyone else to stealing the show. He curbed his cockney accent cleverly, and his whole performance was a source of much enjoyment. Sears, the cowardly Hibbert, turned in his usual good performance as a terror-stricken, spineless officer who was continually trying to get out of the war. Krafsur portrayed a war-hardened Colonel who sacrificed anything, including lives, to keep up his reputation. Newman was a young German soldier of about fourteen, and he looked the part. Hyman, as cook Mason, smiled his way through the acts. The other minor characters were Arbuckle, who toasted his stockings over candles, Hurst, a big, burly Sergeant-Major, and Simpson, a soldier-messenger.
The preliminary work for the winter performance was the production of three one act plays. These were O'Neill's "In the Zone," Wilbur Brawn's "Curse You, Jack Dalton!" and "Dust of the Road," by Kenneth Sawyer Goodman.
The first play."1 n the Zone," was a story of the nervous strain to which men are subjected during war times. The scene was the forecastle of a munitions
ship on its way to England during the war. The acting was of a high standard, and no single actor can be singled out as being the best without doing an injustice to the rest of the cast. Credit for this smooth-running performance must go to Mr. Boardman, the director.
After a short intermission, "Curse You, Jack Dalton!" a melodrama a la 1850, was hilariously presented by a well-rounded cast. The actors were spiritually aided by a most cooperative audience which booed, hissed, and cheered with amazing abandon, warning the defenseless heroine, cheering the "well-tailored" hero, and expressing vehement disapproval of the shady dealings of the play's shady characters. Mr. Smith directed this affair.
After another intermission to give the audience a chance to catch its breath and equanimity, the final play, "Dust of the Road," a Christmas Story, was presented, in which Goodman combines realistic writing with an idealistic theme. Quinn's portrayal of Judas Iscariot, who was forever trying to atone for his treachery, was definitely the high spot of the evening. His restrained, but highly emotional, characterization enthralled the audience and proved his mettle as leader of the Club. Mutter's acting as a man returned from the ways of honesty aided to make this the outstanding play of the evening. No small credit is due to Mr. Palmer for the quality of the performance.

• Unfortunately the '39 football season did not live up to pre-season expectations. Although the team record shows five defeats, the season can nevertheless be regarded as successful due to the defeat of our ancient rival Deerfield. The fate of the team was obviously due to "Old Lady Luck" and not to the sound potential ability of the team nor to the fine coaching recognized in Messrs. Atwell, Wafters, and Bell.
The season opened October 14th with the lop-sided Suffield game, for Williston truly outplayed her opponents everywhere but on the scoring side, as she rolled up thirteen first downs to Suffield's two. Suffield managed to get into actual scoring position only once during the entire afternoon, but turned the tide through a lucky pass after an unfortunate fumble on our part over the goal line. Everybody played the real game that day. Matthews and Ring put in excellent defensive work with Clare and Gaylor coming through with the real offensive play.
The next week, October 21st, saw the Sammy Boys at a one-sided Wilbraham tilt. Williston was not helped any by a long series of penalties which cost her over fifty yards. Williston was truly outplayed by a fine Wilbraham outfit who showed superior ability both in the air and on the ground. Stellar in their performances were Art Murray and Ed Clare. October 28th Albany journeyed our way and managed to take home a 14-7 defeat over Williston. The scoring opened in the first quarter w ti Albany tallying on a well-executed pass play. Williston retaliated in the third quarter with Vin Polley taking the ball over on an end-around play behind perfect blocking. Soon after, Albany tied the game up with six points on a line buck. The extra points were converted by both teams. Highlights in ability that day could be seen in Gaylor, Esbjornson and Matthews—the former two in a pass play.
The climax of the season came with Williston's trouncing victory over her old, rival Deerfield. The night before the game, as you remember, we had a spirited and determined rally. This enthusiastic feeling the Wildcats carried over into Parents' Day and really put on a fast, colorful show loafing the supposedly superior Deerfield team by a score of 12 to 7. Deserving of especial praise in this game were Adam, Clare, and Esbjornson, who, because of their strong offensive play, helped set up the scores.
Armistice Day saw Kingswood chalk up a 20-12 victory over the Blue and Gold in the first game played between the two schools. Although Sammy's men fought hard and well the entire game, it was simply another case of Lady Luck giving the nod to our opponents. In the final game of the season Williston failed to exhibit the drive shown in the Deerfield game, and a well-balanced Mt. Hermon club nosed out the Blue and Gold by a 6-0 score.
This year we wish to thank the school as a whole for the fine spirit and support they showed the team. In closing may we extend our best wishes to the team which will wear the Williston colors in the fall of 1940.
With six returning lettermen as the basis of a prosperous-looking squad, Coaches Test, Boardman, and Palmer started building a team up to the heavy schedule looming ahead. Hart and Morse on the line were backed by Captain John Keller, Simpson, and Baxter. Clarke again played his steady game in front of the goal. Quentin Browne, Cunningham, and Gittins completed the line, and Silin, Callman, Porter, and Powers rounded out the backfield. Evans was added for the goal, and Mancebo acted as a good utility man.
After extensive training, the season opened at the dedication of Galbraith Field. This was a clash with a speedy Hopkins aggregation, which resulted in a margin loss of one goal. Again the booters lost, although they were superior to their Monsonite opponents. They tied Wilbraham and Mount Hermon, and in a hard-fought match with the most solid Deerfield team in that school's history, lost 1-0. Against five college freshmen teams during the season two victories were secured, one against Massachusetts State and the other against an undefeated,'untied, and unscored upon Springfield College eleven.
This last game proved the boys' ability to work together and really click, showing much team spirit at the same time. It was not only a numerical triumph but a demonstration to the school that the team was composed of winning material. Our only regret is that this will did not occur earlier in the season, for the team seemed to have tremendous "send" both offensively and defensively.
Especial praise should go to the coaches, who were energetic and loyal in their efforts to turn out a good team, to Clarke's excellent work in the goal, and to Simpson's at halfback, to the fine improvement shown by the new men, and finally to the inspiration given, and the example set by John Keller, four years on the team, captain the last two, and now graduating. To his successor, Captain Simpson, and the rest of the 1940 team, we wish the best of luck for the coming season.

The 1939-1940 basketball season is something to be remembered. Only two lettermen returned, but the team was greatly enriched.by much new talent, Kneeland, Adam and Dowe, three flashy forwards. "Vitt" Forkey, center, a local boy who made good, and Ralph Hurst, dead-eye guard, combined with Captain "Don" Evans and John Keller, the veterans, to form a unit surpassing all basketball teams of the last few years.
The secret of success of the "Wildcats" was the general attitude of the players. Every man on the starting lineup would doubtless have been a star on a lesser team. They worked as a team, however, and although there was much individual scoring, most of the points were earned wholly through teamwork. The starting forwards, Kneeland and Adam, each seemed to know where the other was by instinct, and hence their pass-work was nearly startling in its smoothness and accuracy. At times one player would pass to another, even when the former had a fairly sure shot of his own. Captain Evans proved himself level-headed and self-sacrificing.
Much credit goes to the remainder of the players. Hurst had the most accurate shots; Foilu' played well offensively and defensively; Keller played truly excellent defensive basketball; and Dowe sank many a one-handed shot from the corners, making the spectators gasp.
The team's winning column was an object of pride for all. Of the sixteen games played, the "Wildcats" won fourteen, losing to Deerfield and to the Amherst Frosh. However, the team defeated Deerfield at Deerfield, thus gaining satisfaction. The last game of the season was with White Plains High School, champions of Westchester County. Their team, a group of physical giants, was beaten in the last quarter. Much credit goes to Coach Bell who moulded the team into a very flashy outfit. We wish that the coach, and Forkey and Adam, next year's co-captains, have all the good fortune to do as well as they did this year, and that they do so with as fine a group of boys.
With holdovers Gaylor, Captain Logic, Hart, and Simpson from last year's team, Coach Lossone set about trying to find a winning combination. The coach was aided,by finding many capable newcomers in Hopkins, Brown, Arnold, Ring, Symington, Clare, and Beaton.
Although the records give a slight advantage to its opponents in scoring, the team, led by its fast, and clever captain, Logic, was scrappy and in the game to win until the last whistle was blown.
The season opened with a 1-0 victory over the Holyoke High School. This was followed with two hard fought ties with Stockbridge, 0-0, and with Suffield, 1-1. Then came the traditional Deerfield game which, though the team showed a whirlwind offense and a tight defense, was lost by the narrow margin of 3-2. Following the Deerfield game came a wellplayed 5-2 triumph over Monson, which was the high spot of the season. From then on, although playing good hockey and fighting hard, there were four defeats handed out by Worcester North high School (2-1), Mount Hermon (4-1), Wilbraham (3-0), and Worcester Academy (5--3).
Although the statistics show two wins, two ties, and five defeats, they do not show the fighting spirit of the team. All the games were contested all the way, and some of the opponents' scores came as surprises. It is truthfully said that the games were not won until the closing whist les. Captain Logic and Beaton were outstanding on the offense in every game, while Ring and Symington were excellent on the defense. Coach Lossone may look forward with anticipation of a good season next year, for he will have six or seven lettermen returning, around which as a nucleus he can build his next year's team. Next year's team will, however, miss the sterling play of Bill Gaylor, who minded the nets this year and proved himself a master of the art. The whole second line is returning, so the Blue Devils may look forward to a season marred by few, if any, defeats.

The Williston Academy baseball team, with. but four members of last year's varsity nine returning to the line-up, got off to a good start on the twenty-fourth of April by blanking their arch rival Deerfield 5-0. With Arnold giving but five hits, striking out eleven, and making nine assists, the Deerfield contingent was never out of hand, while the Williston nine continued to hit and score in the pinches.
On the twenty-seventh of April the team journeyed to Albany to hand them a shut out, 4-0. The boys from Easthampton collected only one hit, but loose playing spelled defeat for Albany. Lange started on the mound and was relieved in the third by Arnold, who continued to lengthen his innings of shut out pitching to fourteen.
Williston's next victory was eked out on Daley field at the expense of Suffield Academy on May first. A four run rally in the ninth inning was nipped by Williston to give the latter club a 10-9 victory.
In the next game, the Blue and Gold had the ill fortune to face a superior Kingswood nine The Williston batters were completely baffled as the team went down to a 10 to 0 defeat. Making a rapid comeback, Williston showed vast improvement in overwhelming Massachusetts State Freshmen by a 9 to 5 score. With seven games still on the schedule as this is written, the Blue and Gold batsmen seem well started towards a victorious season.
Since only one infielder and three outfielders will be lost to the team by graduation, the prospects for 1941 seem definitely encouraging. Just as 1940 has been vastly better than the previous season, it is to be expected that 1941 will prove even more successful.
The% varsity line-up is: Montague, c.f.; Miller, 2b.; Forkey, lb.; Captain Matthews, 1.1.; Cary, r.f.; Kneeland, s.s.; Card, 3b.; Clare, e.; Arnold, p.; Lange, p.

With only three lettermen returning from last year's weak team, the Williston 1940 tennis team faced a dismal season. This prospect, however, was soon to change. An improved and much steadier Captain Clarke in the number one spot has made a good leader for the team. The other players, all Middlers, are McClelland, Symington, Benham, Richmond, and Van de Carr. Siegrist, a Senior, plays doubles, and David Miller has shown himself to be a capable and energetic manager. The first three games on the schedule could not be played on account of unfavorable weather.
The season opened April 24th with an easy win over Suffield Academy, which was followed by another over Albany. Suffield met defeat to the tune of 7-2, and Albany 5-2. A strong Deerfield team then swept over the team by an 8-1 margin. The Williston play continued to improve, but Mount Hermon's well-balanced outfit defeated the Blue and Gold 6-3. Those are all the matches played as this article goes to press, but it is hoped—as well as expected—that the year 1940 will stand out as another victorious year for the Williston courtmen.
This year Mr. Hepworth resumed his duties as tennis coach, being ably assisted by coaches Lossone, Hodgkinson, and Smith.
Since five of this year's team's lettermen are Middlers, and the second team is also nearly completely made up of boys in this same class, next year should see an excellent tennis team here in Williston. This year's team is fairly good and ought to get better. Hence next year's team should be made up of seasoned veterans, and thus should be nearly invincible.

The Spring Track season opened with the formation of a team from the Winter Track group. The coaches had a chance to test its value in the annual Kennedy Meet. Besides awarding medals for track and field achievement, the meet showed that the 1940 team would have a good season. Watson won the high scorer's medal, and Captain Gaylor, Crawford, and Esbjornson showed up well.
The season opened, as last year, with Albany Academy. The meet was a walkaway-89 - 33, because of insufficient training of the opponents. The relay team was outstanding in the meet, with other prominent firsts garnered by Cohen and Murray.
The tracksters went to Suffield next to compete triangularly with Wilbraham and Suffield. The meet was taken easily by Williston as the score on the opposite page will show. The meet was distinguished with a 46 foot shot'-put by Kingsbury and two firsts by McNaughton, one being a 13.7 in the low hurdles. Gaylor, Buckingham, Crawford, and Spaulding further proved their ability.
As this book goes to press, there are two meets in addition to individual competition at the Amherst Interscholastics remaining. The first, at home with Vermont Academy, will be a hard test for the team, but on the basis of its present record, should prove a Williston success. The second meet, also here, is a triangular with Deerfield and Loomis; it will be the most severe test of the team's abilities.
The trackmen on the 1940 team have among them an outstanding group of athletes. Bill Gaylor, completing his third year as captain, is still on the upswing in the 880 and discus, winning on nearly all occasions. Murray runs the 440 in 54 seconds. Arbuckle, Beaton, Crawford, and Hart make an exceptional relay team. MacNaughton is a new hurdler who has made excellent performances all season. Watson is strong at the pole vault, discus, and broad jump. Evans does five feet ten inches in the high jump. Many of these men, incidentally, are in the graduating class.
Especially deserving of credit and praise is Head Coach Frank Putnam. He and his associates, Messrs. Test, Hyde, and Plumb, have developed the best in ability and good spirit from this track team. They and the team deserve commendation for their work this spring.

For several years the Williston Junior School has prepared boys for Williston and many other preparatory schools. Under its capable faculty and headmaster, Mr. Edward Clare, young boys from ten to fifteen years of age are coached in those subjects needed for admittance to secondary schools. The governing body of the school, however, is the Williston Board of Trustees, and Mr. Galbraith is the director.
For diversion, the young boys enjoy various activities such as baseball, hockey, football, skiing, soccer and basketball. Every Thursday they meet in the gymnasium for a dancing class in preparation for the bigger and better dances in the Academy. In the winter, they as well as the Williston boys, use their hill for skiing. They have their own building and classrooms, but their meals are eaten at Payson Hall, and they use the Academy gymnasium.
It has been an established fact throughout the years that those boys graduated from the Williston Junior School have been always the best liked in the Upper School. They receive special training in character and scholarship which holds them in good stead wherever they may go.

In 1937 the first Williston pictorial calendar came from the press. The calendar, published by the Loa Board, was inaugurated to pay for part of the expenses of the Hundredth Anniversary Loa which will be printed in 1941. Again this year the 1940 LOG Board has presented this calendar and, as in the three previous years, the profit will be recorded as a contribution of the present Loa Staff.
The calendar has a brilliant cover of blue and gold and contains twelve pictures of scenes of the new and old campuses, laboratories, and athletic activities. These pictures will undoubtedly be appreciated by the students in later years, for each one will bring back a cherished memory.
The Loa Board heartily thanks those boys who gave their time and energy in making the calendar. Not often does one see a school calendar as good as that put out by the Williston LOG.

• The Log Board hereby expresses thanks and appreciation to the photographers, the engravers, the printers, the patrons, the advertisers and to all others who have assisted in making this work a pleasure and a success.
