With world conditions as they are today it is only fitting that the theme of this year's "Log" should be democracy. This war is the supreme test to discover whether a government of this type shall live or crumble into decay and ruin as did the Greek and Roman civilizations. We believe that it will not only survive, but also will continue to survive for many years to come. One component part of democracy is represented on each of the divisional pages throughout the book.
A democracy may be slow. It may be corrupt. It may be inefficient. A country, however, populated by free men with free minds more than compensates for these failings. America is now armed for the great battle. The torch of liberty must not be extinguished!
DANIEL D. TEST, JR., M. A.
This book is respectfully dedicated to Daniel D. Test in sincere admiration of a true friend, honest adviser, loyal teacher, and inspiring coach
Williston in the War
Williston Academy has always been justly proud of its graduates. This present crisis is no exception. There are Williston men in every branch of our armed forces, all helping to defend the American way of life. We know that they will hold up the honor of our school and of themselves.
During World War I there were over four hundred Williston alumni in the various services. Many of them saw duty in France, while others remained in service here. A plaque has been placed in Chapel commemorating the deaths of twenty Williston men in World War I.
At the present time there are approximately two hundred alumni in the service of their government. About the middle of April our headmaster was informed of the death of the first Williston alumni in the present conflict. He was Lieutenant Roger P. Warfield of the class of 1933, killed in action in Java. He is the first; there cannot help but be more.
On these pages there are a few pictures of Williston men in uniform. Because they are all in far-off places, we were unable to obtain more pictures.

Statesmanship
In these perilous times, the safety of our country lies in the hands of a few men—the statesmen of the United States. They guide the destiny of our glorious land. It is their judgment which often means the difference between success and defeat; and we loyal Americans must trust and uphold their decisions, for these states, men arc all working for the victory of democracy.
Principal A. V. GALBRAITH, A. B.
THE "LOG" presents personal data about the school nowhere else available. That fact makes it invaluable in ordinary times. Under wartime conditions its value and interest are greater than ever. Those responsible for its production deserve the gratitude and support of the school. To them I offer my congratulations. To the Senior Class go my best wishes for the future.

Citizenship
Good citizenship throughout our land is an essential factor for a successful finish of this war. It is not only needed in every community hut also in schools, in army camps, in all walks of life. To live righteously, to labor diligently, to work for humanity's betterment are all parts of good citizenship. Be a good citizen, and victory will be assured.
BRIDGES
A MESSAGE:
In times of international disorder, Williston has never failed to participate in the fullest degree possible. She has this time sent three of her seniors and three instructors to the war. I urge you, the undergraduate body of the school, to carry the patriotism of Williston forward for the duration, until our country smashes on to victory. This cannot be done by simple wishful thinking, as you know, but by concentrated effort in co-operating with the war aim. Buy defense stamps and bonds; save paper; co-operate with the air raid wardens cheerfully; accept rationing without objection. In this way will you be able to aid your country in its fight for freedom!

HONORARY MEMBERS
Dr. Richard M. Gummerc, Harvard College: Mr. Roy B. Chamberlin, Dartmouth College.
The Cum Laude Society was founded at the Jacob Tome Institute in 1906. The success of the society can be largely accredited to Dr. Abram W. Harris, founder and president general until 1935. The society completed the first three decades of its existence in 1936 with eighty-seven chapters in both public and private secondary schools and a membership of 11,100.
Here at Williston the Cum Laude Society was founded in 1921. The faculty members for this year are: Mr. Lincoln D. Grannis, Mr. Osborne Nash, Mr. Robert Burdick, and Headmaster Archibald V. Galbraith. Their choice this year, as in other years, has proved to be a wise one.
Fisher, Ricsman, H. Mason, Cooke
The Senior Promenade
The Senior Prom has always been Williston's largest and most popular social event, and this year proved to be no exception. The Prom Committee was fortunate enough to be able to engage the youthful and rapidly rising "Dartmouth Barbary Coast" orches, tra. The rhythmic strains of this undergraduate organization captivated all who were present at the Prom.
The novel lighting effect, "The Storm of Colors," which was praised so widely last year, was again installed and, if it is possible, received even more acclaim than before. The problem caused by the enforced absence of all paper streamers because of the paper shortage was handily surmounted. An abundance of cleverly arranged shrubs and plants easily made up for the lack of streamers.
The combination of these three, the music of the "Barbary Coast," the "Storm of Colors," and the attractive floral decorations, was the basis of a Prom that future classes will have a hard time equaling.
Much credit must he given to the Prom Committee and Mr. L. D. Granniss, our invaluable Senior Master, who worked tirelessly so that the Prom might be a success.
It is our earnest hope that, despite the condition of affairs existing in this country today, future senior classes will he able to enjoy nights such as we enjoyed May 8.

Freedom
In many parts of the world today there is no freedom of any kind. To write, to speak, even to think against the governments of these countries means death. We are now fighting a war in order to preserve the freedom which is ours and to return to the world's oppressed and suffering the freedom which was once theirs. We ought all to recall the words of Abraham Lincoln that the dead who died for American freedom "shall not have died in vain."

Following the general tendency in the "Log" for more pictures and less write-ups, the staff has composed the year• book with the views and candid shots divided into sections to coincide with the subdivisions of each major topic. Write-ups for the seniors have been omitted, giving way to an appropriate quotation for each. Informal pictures of all activities have taken the place of the portraits of each member. And, finally, a directory of each member of the school is run throughout the advertising section with a note as to every page on which he is mentioned.
Its theme, Democracy, is symbolized by the Statue of Liberty on the padded cover, followed on each divisional page by other emblems of Democracy.
FACULTY ADVISER
Earl N.Johnston
The work which goes to make a book like this is enormous. The paste-ups, articles, pictures, and managing give no material rewards, only the personal satisfaction of having taken a part in recording the accomplishments of the school year. It is the senior's book, and to the senior class must we extend our thanks.
Under the leadership of Alan Denslow, and under the valuable guidance of our faculty adviser, Mr. Earl N. Johnston, who is celebrating his tenth anniversary in putting out this book, the 1942 "Log" may well expect to attain the glories of previous "Logs" and again to be a worthy representative of Williston.

Student Council
Woodrow Wilson has said, "Human freedom consists in perfect adjustments of human interests and human activities and human energies." This might well serve as a motto of the Williston Academy Student Council. When the council was first formed, back in the war days of 1917, its method of organization was impractical; a generation of experience has brought about a truly efficient and noteworthy way of carrying on affairs. The council is far from perfect, hut it has come a long way and continues to progress. The chief purpose of the council is to provide a medium between the faculty and student body and to maintain high standards of honor among that body. Any disciplinary action taken is merely a means to that end.
This year the council has carried on its usual duties of overseeing the general conduct of the school, particularly the honor system, well. In regard to promoting good fellow, ship, it has sponsored several tea dances and Saturday night dances as well as the Buck party. It has also enforced the honor system, which is fast becoming a Williston tradition. It has also enforced the many unwritten laws which form the code of any school.
The boys are not chosen merely because of outstanding abilities or high moral standards. They are the ones who seem best able to cope with the difficult situations that arise. The council has done its job well; we hope that next year's council may do so. The experience which these boys receive, guided by Mr. William J. Lossone, will help them in the many difficulties which lie before the youth of today.

Glee Club
Once again the Williston Glee Club has completed a very successful season, probably one of the best in the history of this club. More than ever before, this organization has produced some of the finest group singing, based on the effects and quality of tone, that Williston has had the fortunate opportunity of hearing. This combined with the musical as well as the social benefits has made the Glee Club one of the most popular and beneficial activities of the school.
As has been the custom for the past few years, the club held its meetings on almost every Tuesday and Friday evening, during which time it practiced its splendid repertoire of songs ranging from the classic and spiritual numbers of Bach, da Palestrina, and Sibelius to the lighter songs of Morley, Barnby, and Arthur Hall. As an added feature to the regular program, the club featured several talented soloists and the usual double quartet, one of the finest ever to be formed. The soloists were as follows: William Baker, Accordion; Kenneth Josephson, 'Cello; John Poilion, Tenor; and John Glaze, Trumpet.
After many diligent rehearsals, the Williston Glee Club was well prepared for its first and biggest concert at the Technical High School in Springfield. As were the nine following concerts in the neighboring towns and Easthampton, this concert was an overwhelming success. Worthy of mention also was the combined concert and dance with the Northampton School for Girls, which was not only a musical but also a social success.
This year, again, the Williston and Northampton Glee Clubs combined to produce the annual Gilbert and Sullivan presentation. The operetta chosen was "Iolanthe," one quite different in the beauty and color of music and set from the ones the clubs have been accustomed to produce. Nevertheless, the operetta proved to he the best one ever performed on the Williston stage. After many weeks of prodigious practicing, the cast presented the show on May 22, and also on the following day, Parents' Day.
Turning in outstanding performances for the girls were Barbara Purrington as Phyllis, Margaret Purtell as Iolanthe, Evelyn Coolidge as the Queen, and Diana Leslie, Anne Nichol Smith, and Elizabeth Tucker as Celia, Leila, and Pieta respectively. Doing
equally as well were Robert Sanders as the Chancellor, David Sinclair as Strephon, William Peters as Lord Mountararat, Richard Szewczynski as Lord ToBoller, and John Prescott as Private Willis. The chorus of Peers and Fairies was also better than usual.
The credit of such a successful year goes to Mr. Charles E. Rouse, who worked ceaselessly for the benefit of the club. Credit must also be given to Mrs. Nathaniel Rand and Mr. H. L. Harvey, as accompanist and assistant respectively, and to Miss Mabel Dunham of Northampton School and Mrs. Charles Rouse for their help in the operetta.

This year the Williston Dramatic Club has been exceptionally active, giving in all five plays which met with universal approval from the student body and faculty alike. It is especially noteworthy to recognize the very good talent shown by the younger members this year.
On December 21st, the Dramatic Club presented four plays intended to discover talent for later productions.
John Tea11, Frank Cole, and Sewell Faulkner stood out in Nerves, directed by Mr. R. V. Burdick. Pirate's Revenge, supervised by Mr. S. C. Cobb, was a comedy featuring the antics of Alan Guilloton and Erving Arnold. Scene VII of Abe Lincoln in Illinois, produced by Mr. H. G. Boardman, starred Alan Denslow as the Great Emancipator. Club President Martin Riesman, Henry Liss, Theodore Whitney,Edward White,and Emmett Hess played well in No Curtain Calls, directed by Mr. H. W.Smith.
This year witnessed the successful collaboration of the Williston Dramatic Club and Mask and Wig of the Northampton School for' Girls. Supervised by Mr. Howard Boardman and Miss Emily Deans, the innovation of having boys and girls acting together on the Recreation Center stage proved to be popular with the audience who attended, on March sixth, the performance of Out of the Frying Pan.
A play that recently enjoyed a long engagement on Broadway, Frying Pan capers through the droll adventures of a half-dozen young people who arc trying to demonstrate their histrionic talents to Arthur Kenny, a renowned producer whose apartment is under theirs. Obstacles in their efforts to win jobs together are Dottie's volatile father, the insistent, rent-seeking landlady, and a brace of imaginative cops. In a jubilant finale Dottie gets her man, and the youthful thespians receive roles in Mr. Kenny's new road-company.
The partnership of the two dramatic groups was a happy one for this play. The feminine lead, Jill Turner, as Dottie, did an admirable job. The other girls were President Juanita De011oqui as Kate, Charlotte Hall as Marge, and Joan Tobin in the part of Muriel. Leaving the distaff side, we have Walt Van Cott as the serious, energetic Norman, in which role Walt was the sparkplug of the whole show. Supporting him in fine, noble fashion were Erv Arnold, Dick Pickett, Emmett Hess, Ted Whitney, the latter two as patrolmen, and Micky Riesman, who played the father.
A splendid finale to the theatre season were Refund, performed by Tea11, Guilloton, Seiler, Eaton, Hunter, Bernhard, and Cooke; and Wurzel-Flummery, the faculty play. Refund, pleasing all with its hilarious situations and facile acting, dealt with the vulgar attempts of the seedy Wasserkopf to get back his college tuition. Wurzel-Flummery headlined Mrs. George Chisholm, Mrs. John Adie, and Messrs. Boardman, Burdick and Smith, and Conrad Hunter. Two famous politicians will each receive a .£50,000 legacy upon adopting the name of Wurzel-Flummery. Top-notch, professional acting made Wurzel-Flummery a feature in Williston Dramatic Club annals.
The Y Cabinet
The Y Cabinet, guided by Mr. Lincoln D. Granniss, has many important duties to perform, although it is one of the least-heard-of organizations in school. The first duty is to make for good-will and to see that charitable organizations are provided for.
At the beginning of each year the Y Cabinet sponsors a party which enables the new students to get acquainted. The smokers terminating each athletic season are made possible through Mr. Granniss and the committee. Another activity in which the Y Cabinet has been especially active this year is the sponsoring of several very popular informal dances on Saturday evenings. It also maintains the school cabin as well as the common room in North Hall.
Athletic Advisory Board
These five student representatives are chosen by their fellow students: four represent their respective dormitories and the fifth represents the day students. They collaborate with four members of the faculty.
The two principal duties are the awarding of varsity letters to those fellows who have performed creditably in one of the major sports, and the selection of managers for the succeeding year. This is done in December, March, and June at the close of each athletic season.

"Willistonian"
Every third Sunday after a ten o'clock breakfast a group of earnest young men can be seen industriously piecing together the next edition of the "Willistonian" in tho Whitney Room.
Since 1881 this extra-curricular activity, instituted by the Adelphi Society, has been a most salient factor in bringing the school life to the student. Not only does the "Willistonian" present the school news, but it also submits editorials to the students that they may better understand and solve the problems which confront the Academy.
Pictures accompanying many of the articles which appear in the "Willistonian" pertaining to athletic teams, coaches, masters, and activities have enlivened its pages.
Much of the credit for the excellence of the "Willistonian" belongs to its Editor-inChief Eldon Crowell, News Editor Theodore Fisher, and Sports Editor George Leary, but without Business Manager Andrew Peters, who handles the advertising, the "Willistonian" would have to depend upon the Academy entirely for its support. The assistant editors, editorial staff, and circulation department have helped tremendously in putting out the paper.
To its faculty advisers, Mr. Daniel D. Test and Mr. Earl N. Johnston, goes the eternal thanks of the "Willistonian" board for their unselfish co-operation in supervising the preparation and finances, thus making it a newspaper of which Williston may well be proud.

Adelphi-Gamma Sigma
The Adelphi-Gamma Sigma Debating Society was organized as it is today in 1937. At that time it was called the Belles Lettres Society, the result of a merger between two old rival debating clubs.
The meetings are held every Friday evening at nine o'clock in Middle Hall. They consist of reports by various committees within the club, facts concerning old and new business, and the main center of attraction, of course, being the debate itself. Each week a speaker volunteers to lead one side of the question under discussion, and another person agrees to lead the other side of the question. During the week they do research on that particular subject and present the evidence at the next meeting. After the rebuttals, the club argues the topic under the rules of parliamentary procedure.
During 1941-42 the Adelphi-Gamma Sigma has achieved a new high in popularity. This improvement may be credited to the attraction which this organization holds in the eyes of the school. This enviable reputation has been achieved mainly through the experienced leadership of their faculty adviser, Mr. David Thomas. For the first half-year Mr. Thomas was aided by officers Curran, Riesman, and Cooke. For the last half of the year the club was led by Crowell, Curran, and Riesman.

Loyalty
In the words of Stephen Decatur,"My Country Right or Wrong," lie the true meaning and significance of loyalty. To stand by one's nation in defeat as well as in victory, to cooperate in every possible way with one's government is the type of loyalty that will eventu, ally bring victory.

Football
A starting team that included hut four of last year's lettermen took the field in its first encounter against Suffield Academy on October 11. It was a comparatively green squad which entertained Suffield that day, but Captain Johnny Newton's eleven picked up experience as it went along.
For almost three periods the Wildcats appeared to be headed for victory, but a pair of Suffield touchdowns in the last two perio4s offset Waskicwicz' 58-yard scoring dash.
One of the most potent prep school outfits in New England, Wilbraham Academy, buried Williston under a 37-0 count the following Saturday. The well-chosen Wilbraham team scored three touchdowns in the opening quarter and were never headed after that. In defeat, Van Cott and Burnett played a bruising defensive game.
Albany Academy invaded Sawyer Field on October 25, and it was at the visitors' expense that "Sammy's Boys" garnered their initial triumph. Each club tallied two touchdowns, but Williston converted its extra points and Albany did not. Bridges' 15yard end run for the deciding touchdown and Cliff Zundell's placement kick for the extra point featured the day's play.
The traditional Deerfield-Williston tilt was played on a muddy Sawyer Field, November 3. It was to have been played two days earlier, Fathers' Day, but a continuous heavy downpour caused its postpone-
merit. A Deerfield field goal was the margin between the two teams in the first half; two touchdowns in the second half assured the visitors of victory, 16-6. A pass, Skurnik to Waskiewicz, accounted for the Wildcats' lone score.
The Blue and Gold footballers journeyed to East Hartford on November 8, where they edged a stubborn Kingswood contingent, 7-0. Before winning the game, however, Williston had to stave off a second-period drive that carried Kingswood to the one-yard line. Late in the third period, Waskiewicz rifled off-tackle for 23 yards and the touchdown that won the game. Zundell's perfect dropkick that split the uprights added the extra point.
The team closed its season in disappointing fashion, bowing to a heretofore victory-less Mount Hermon eleven, 20-6. "Sammy's- team started fast, ripping through to score an early touchdown. The Wildcat attack, however, petered out at this point, and Mount Hermon opened up with a dazzling passing attack that netted three touchdowns and victory. Skurnik scored Williston's lone touchdown on a one-yard cross buck off-tackle.
As can be seen by the record, the team started slowly. It was a case of an inexperienced team that needed competition to show its mettle. Not for a minute during the entire season did the team stop fighting.

Led by its newly-elected captain, diminutive Bob Gittins, Williston's 1941 soccer contingent opened its season against Suffield Academy on October 8. Coach Test's team took command from the very outset, Captain Gittins and Quentin Browne booting in goals during the first minute of play. Gittins and George Howe found the nets in the second quarter, and Williston's second team operated during most of the second half.
The team journeyed to New Haven on October 11, where, in addition to giving the Yale Freshmen a keen battle before bowing out 2-1, the squad saw the Yale-Pennsylvania football struggle. A quick Yale breakaway in the final quarter sent Williston under after they had played what proved to he one of their finest games of the season.
Sparked by Gittins and Browne, the WildCats got back on the victory trail by downing Wilbraham on October 15. With the score tied 1•1 at the end of the third period, the Blue and Gold put on the pressure and sent three goals flying past the Wilbraham goalie.
"Sammy's" booters inflicted a 5-0 whitewashing on the Amherst Freshmen on October 18. Quentin Browne's two tallies paced Williston to its victory. Claude Miguellc played a brilliant game both offensively and defensively.
Goalie Emmett Hess shone brightly in the team's next game, against Mass. State, as the Wildcats won via the shutout route, 2-0. Captain Bobby Gittins' first-half goal assured his mates of victory.
Worcester Academy became the Wildcats' fifth victim in six starts as they steamrollered on to a 5-2 triumph. Paul Laurent and Dick Messenger played stellar games, thwarting enemy offenses as well as scoring one goal apiece. Williston's halftime lead of 4-0 was never threatened.
Williston trounced Monson Academy, 4-0, on November 5, as Quentin Browne copped honors by rifling home three goals. A thrilling moment came when Captain Gittins scored by heading the ball into the nets.
In their next game the booters were buried under an eight-goal assault by the Springfield College Freshmen. The victors were paced by Pedro Ricardo, an all-star Venezuelan soccer halfback.
The traditional game with Deerfield's powerful team was played on November 12, and the Greenshirts whipped the Wildcats to the tune of 5-0. Midway in the initial period Simmons' successful penalty kick started Deerfield on its victorious path.
Mount Hermon added a sour note by shutting out Williston in its finale, 3-0. The game was much closer than the score indicates, but tough breaks prevented the Wildcats from scoring.
It can be said that the team's record of six victories and four losses consummates one of the best seasons the team has had in several years. In every game, win or lose. Coach Test's combatants made a good battle of it.

Coach Frank Bell's 1942 Williston basketball contingent, composed of only one first-string holdover from last year, notched ten triumphs in fifteen starts in compiling a highly successful seakm. A little green at the start, the many new regulars caught on to Coach Bell's style of play and had scored four straight victories when the season closed.
In their initial game, "Sammy's- basketeers dropped a 23-20 verdict to Stockbridge School. The visitors rallied in the closing minutes to win.
Picking up experience and court savvy, Williston looped victories over Amherst and A.I.C. Freshmen fives by scores of 37-24 and 41-36, respectively. Captain Leon Waskiewicz paced the victors in both contests.
Next the Blue and Gold journeyed to Wilbraham a!Id received its worst defeat of the year, 37-24. Williston matched the winner basket for basket during the first half, hut were helpless before Wilbraham's onslaught of hoops in the second half.
Williston entertained its arch rival, Deerfield, in a Golden Jubilee basketball game. It was nip and tuck all the way, but a last second basket gave Deerfield the game, 26-24.
The Deerfield victory did not daunt Wildcat spirits, for Monson and Suffield were easily downed in the following games. Wasky and clever guard, Ray Mason, led Williston's offense in these games.
Hess Skurnik Waskiewicz, Captain
Phil Barnhart and Ed Tisdall, subbing for the injured Wasky, headed Williston's offense in its 29-20 triumph over the Alumni. Although loaded with star players from yesteryear, teamwork was niissing in the Alumni's victory efforts.
A heartbreaking loss by 30-28 was next on tap for the Wildcats, Wilbraham again administering defeat on Coach Bell's team. Ray Mason hopped eleven points in supporting a losing cause.
The Wildcats had their best day against Mass. State Freshmen, routing the Staters by 57-23. Wasky hit a new high, chalking up 27 points.
Williston continued on its scoring spree, piling up 42 markers against Deerfield. The Deerfield attack was even more potent, however, for they rallied to eke out a 43-42 triumph.
The Wildcats made it a successful season by whipping Suffield, Mount Hermon, Loomis, and Worcester Academy in their last four tilts. The Worcester victory stood out as the most formidable, for the Worcesterites were previously rated as one of New England's top prep school outfits.
Williston's record of ten victories against five defeats marks a successful season. The team was even better than its fine record indicates, for in only one game did it lose by more than three points. With five lettermen returning, Coach Bell has an abundance of seasoned material with which to have another successful season.

When the Williston sextet embarked on their annual Lake Placid trip this year, the outlook on the team's chances for success were none too bright. The boys had practiced as a unit but twice and the only returning men of proven ability were co-captains Leary and Bridges. But Coach Lossone, with these two as a nucleus,. built a team that "Sammy" has every right to be proud of. Although two of the three games played in the Placid tourney had to be placed on the wrong side of the ledger, much practical experience, so necessary for success in the regular season, was gained. And, of course, all the fellows enjoyed the trip tremendously and took advantage of every bit of entertainment that they could get.
In the first regularly scheduled game of the year, the "Wildcats" completely outskated and outscored Albany Academy, 3-0. Despite the rivalry between the two schools that was born at Placid, the game was cleanly, although roughly, played. Continuing with the same winning brand of hockey, we next defeated a strong Springfield Technical High School sextet, 6-5. The goal-getting abilities of both Leary and Bridges were the factors that enabled us to be the first team to inflict defeat upon Tech in two years.
Our next two victories were gained at the expense of Monson and Wilbraham and both by identical scores of 4-1. Poor ice slowed both games, but "Sammy's" men easily showed their superiority.
The less said about the next two games the better. For some unknown reason the team fell apart. The passing was ragged and there were defensive lapses. The defeats inflicted by Worcester and our traditional rival, Deerfield, were the only blots on an otherwise perfect record.
Recovering from their slump with a bang, the team handed Mount Hermon its only defeat of the year, 5-4, and set down a perennially strong Worcester North High School outfit, 3-2, both contests being decided in overtime periods. Closing their season in grand style, the boys swamped a hapless Holyoke High School varsity, 12-2.
Much credit for the team's success during the year must be given to the team's sturdy defense. The stellar defensemen, Cole, Parker, and Leo, backed by Bob Steiger in the nets, made a strong barrier against enemy attacks.
In closing we must extol "Jew" and Ralph for their leading parts in making the year's team a success and extend our best wishes to Mr. Lossone (and "Bob") for the success of next year's team.

With only four regulars returning, this year's baseball team did not seem to have a victorious season before it. A sparkling set of newcomers, however, consisting of Ray Mason, Cliff Zundell, Jeff Leary, Bob Gittins, and Dick Waite, changed this dismal outlook into a season which thus far has been marred by hut one defeat.
The Williston nine started the season on April 15, defeating Wilbraham by a decisive 8-1 score. The effective hurling of Capt. Phil Shumway and timely hitting by Mason, Waite, and Skurnik proved the main factors in victory.
Traveling to Amherst for the second game, the Wildcats encountered the Amherst Freshman Club. The college boys, however, were not as powerful as last year, and the Blue and Gold again emerged victorious 8-6. Capt. Shumway was the winning pitcher, aided by Al Skurnik. Mason again led the hatters.
Fresh from two straight victories, our lads bumped into a disastrous 12-2 defeat at the hands of Deerfield. Errors and weak hitting plagued the team, but a second game with Deerfield later in the season is expected to end in a very different manner.

Hoping to get back into the victory column again, the nine journeyed to Albany, N. Y., where a weak Albany Academy team was defeted 14-2. John Prescott took care of the hurling department and did a fine job, allowing only two hits. The batting punch had returned to the boys, and twelve hits were registered, the majority of which were gathered by Bridges and Wasky.
Still hitting the ball strongly, the team defeated Suffield Academy in its next game 17-3. Capt. Shumway again pitched a fine game, and Bridges', Skurnik's, and Wasky's bats were extremely potent.
A disappointing Mass. State Freshman nine came to Sawyer Field next and was trounced 19-7. The Wildcats' batting was sensational, and Bridges, Skurnik, Wasky, and Zundell each gathered two or more hits. John Prescott won his second game, pitching fine ball.
Having five victories and but one defeat to its credit, the Williston nine is in the process of having a very successful season. With many more strong teams to face, however, the boys will have to keep playing and fighting hard in order to remain in the winning column. As this goes to press, prospects arc good for an unusually successful season.

The varsity track team began its 1942 season with what appears to be another undefeated team. In addition to last year's returning lettermen—Captain Keith Kingsbury, Williams, Camp,Howe,Van Cott, Miguelle, and Zink—there are several newcomers to bolster up the team's prospects. Among these are Crowell, Adams, Baker, Laurent, and Jay.
The annual Kennedy meet held on April 16 and 18 resulted in several impressive times and distances. Gill Camp won the high scorer's medal with two first places in the hurdles and a first place in the broad jump. "Swede" Williams did a fine job with two first places in 100-yd. and 220-yd. dashes and a second in the javelin throw. Coach Frank W.Putnam was well satisfied with the results of only twoweeks' practice.
The first outside meet was held with Albany Academy. Due to present transportation problems,
a telegraphic meet was held. The meet proved, because of its novelty, to be popularly received. The final score showed an overwhelming victory for the Putnam men of 92-30.
The next meet with Mass. State was another suessful day. The team won easily and decisively with a score of 94-2/3 to 30-1/3. Gil Camp established a new school record for the 100-yd. high hurdles of 9:35 seconds. Kingsbury and Howe won their field events easily and Van Cott and Baker did well on the track.
The rest of the schedule consists of meets with Wilbraham, Vermont, a triangular meet with Loomis and Deerfield, and the Interscholastics at Mt. Hermon. Whatever the results are, the team, Mr. Putnam, and his assistants all deserve a great deal of credit for living up to the fine record of previous Williston track teams.

This year Coach A. L. Hepworth was confronted with a serious problem; there was not a single holdover from last year's team around which to form a new combine. As time went on, however, a team was formed from members of last year's second team and also from some newcomers who have played high school tennis.
At present, Bill Peters is holding the No. 1 position. Dick Anthony, Bob Steiger, Mort Catok, Dick Grant, and Kip Chace follow in the rankings in that order. Pat Meany and Alex Henderson also are first team members who play mainly in the doubles matches.
The team opened its season successfully against Springfield Classical High, winning by 6-2. Heppy's inexperienced team played good steady tennis throughout.
Next came an expected reverse at the hands of strong Amherst College Freshmen, 7-2. Grant played well in winning our lone singles match, while the

smooth-working Steiger-Anthony duo racked up the other victory in doubles.
'Sweeping victories were next on tap, as the team routed Suffield and Albany Academies, both by 9-0. Anthony and Steiger played a fine brand of tennis in coming through for the Wildcats.
Deerfield's star-laden contingent, without doubt onc of the most formidable prep school outfits, handed Williston its second setback, winning every one of the nine matches. The winners were backed by two of the East's junior doubles titleholders, and were so loaded with talent that their co-captains did not even get a chance to play.
An effective Mt. Hermon team overwhelmed the Wildcats, 8-1, in their last match to date. The experienced Hermonites played steady tennis in downing Coach Hepworth's greenhorns.
At present, with over half the schedule yet to he played, Anthony, Steiger, and Catok lead the team in total victories. More experience should make the team's future destinies brighter.
Minor Teams
CANARY FOOTBALL
This year Canary football upheld the fine tradition of Williston's minor teams. Coach Hepworth's eleven went through six games without being defeated or scored upon. Other fall teams included light-weight football and fence-buster soccer.
Tong and league basketball took care of the cage season for the "minors." Over fifty boys participated in the daily league basketball games. The best players from this league formed the Tongs, who played outside games. Canary hockey, winter track, and skiing completed a busy winter of activitiy. Both these first two teams had competition; the Canaries gained fine success against stiff competition.
At this writing the minor spring teams are not as yet completely organized. A large group of baseballers are practicing daily on Galbraith Field, but the division of Canary and light-weight teams has yet to be made. Boys representing the second tennis team have been chosen, but no definite ranking of the players has yet been made. The team is to play a schedule of about seven matches.
In this way Williston has developed, not only the student's mental capacities, hut also his physical prowess.

Not only must we he victorious in this war hut also in the peace that is to follow; and justice for all, weak and strong, must be the means by which the peace is to be won. The same misfortunes that came forth after the Treaty of Versailles must not rise again. It is essential that we do not forget that our enemies arc human beings, with the same emotions, thc same feelings as we.
Junior School
The Williston Junior School, during the past season under the able guidance of Headmaster Edward R. Clare, has not only equaled its past high precedents but even in many ways surpassed them. Mr. Clare's assistants are all genuinely interested in the future of the boys that come under their guidance, and from the first day of the fall term the teachers are instilled with the true Williston spirit and convey it to their young friends.
Situated a short distance from the new campus of the Academy and having its own private dormitories and classrooms, the Junior School gives to its students every chance for perfect development in scholastic attainments and ability to get along with other fellows. It prepares the younger boys for their future studies. The majority of these boys are planning to enter the Academy, and the fact that so many of its graduates are doing so well at Williston manifests its thorough training and ability to develop fine ideals and manly characteristics.
The Williston Junior School not only prepares boys in academic studies but also in outside activities, such as wood,working, dancing, and drawing as well as the outdoor sports on its own grounds.
This year the Junior School has felt the pressure of the war because one of its teachers, Mr. Edward Barrett, has been inducted into the army. This loss, however, has been compensated by the appointment of Mr. H. Robert Eckhardt and Mr. Arne Gronning, sitter to the faculty. With these exceptions the faculty is the same as last year including all the special teachers.

Williston Hymn
Written for the Semi-Centennial in 1891 by Irving Bruce. Class of 1878
God preserve our Alma Mater, Williston, forevermore; In the sunshine of Thy favor, Guard her, keep her, we implore. Crown her still with strength and honor, By Thy grace renew her youth; In the light that never faileth Lead her on from truth to truth
May her foster children ever Loyal service yield to Thee, Minding still her ancient watchword, Christ() et Ecclesiae; That, where'er our warfare lead us, Though the battle bear us down, And we win no wreath of laurel, Hers may be the victor's crown.
Here today upon her altars
We present our sacrifice; Though tomorrow widely sundered, Still may this our prayer arise. God preserve our Alma Mater, Williston, forevermore; In the sunshine of Thy favor, Guard her, keep her, we implore.
Williston Fight Songs
Come down and fight, fight, fight for Williston, For the team in Blue and Gold. For naught avails the strength of (Deerfield) As against their line we hold, Rah, Rah. Come down and fight, fight, fight for Williston, As they march on down the field. Touchdown, touchdown, Williston, For (Deerfield's) strength must yield. Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah.
As the backs go tearing by On the way to do or die, Many sighs and many tears Mingle with the (Deerfield) cheers As the backs go tearing by, Making gain on steady gain, Echo swells the sweet refrain, "Williston's going to win today, Williston's sure to win today," As the backs go tearing by.
March, march on down the field, Fighting for Williston.
We're her sons so staunch and true On whom she'll rely To cheer for her and exalt her name. Fight for old Williston. (Deerfield's) team may fight to the end, But we will win.
The Sons of our Sammy Oh, hear, they are calling, The young sons—the true sons, They come on the run. And when they are gathered To cheer on their comrades, They make their songs ring out, ring out For Williston.
Hit the line for Williston, for victory today; We'll show the sons of (Deerfield) That the Blue and Gold holds sway. Up the field we sweep along, victory or die, And we'll give the team a cheer, boys, As old Williston goes by.
'Neath the shadow of our mountain 'With its scarp so sheer, By the shores of Nashawannuck Stands our school most dear.
Chorus
Sing her praises, guard and cherish Friendship here begun. Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Hail, oh Williston.
Here upon the school's wide play fields, In her halls serene, Forge we now the strength of manhood For life's battle keen.
Chorus
'Mid the turmoil of our striving Sounds thy voice anew, Calling us to rise and conquer In thy service true.
Sing, sing, sing for old Williston's honor and fame. Sing, sing, voices are ringing with her fair name. Sing, sing, whate'er betide you; Sing for the joy of the song that's inside you; Sing for old Williston.
Bringing love to her service, we'll sing, sing, sing.
Come, come, come to old Williston's campus and hall. Come, come, voices are answering her strong call. Come, come, yield to her pleasure; Come for the memories happy you treasure; Come to old Williston.
Loyal still in her service, oh, come, come, come.

Arise, Sons of Williston
Arise, sons of Williston!
The world is in need of men Who still, for the right cause, Will fight with the strength of ten. To win the good day And bring forth the brave new day. When all men can say Now justice and right are here, Go forward with power And work for that hour With prophet, and poet, and seer.
Arise, sons of Williston!
With body and mind prepared. Arise, and press onward Where men in their strength have fared. The world is in strife. It needs all young life To work for the happier day. May justice be won And all 'neath the sun As brothers pursue their way.
Arise, sons of Williston!
Arise in the strength of youth And march with the valiant Who fight in the ranks of truth. With hearts all on fire, With zeal none can tire, With minds still alert and gay, To work for the right Go forward with might
