Williston Academy 1944 Yearbook

PUBLISHED BY

THE SENIOR CLASS OF WILLISTON ACADEMY

EASTHAMPTON MASSACHUSETTS

Foreword

The year 1944 has seen many important historical events. It will undoubtedly witness many more. These events, such as the mass bomber raids, the great battles, the all-important conferences, and the new production records, will decide to whom the fruits of victory will fall. This year, therefore, is a year of destiny for both the Allied countries and the totalitarian states.

Because of this fact, we have chosen for the theme of this year's book "A Year of Destiny." Instead of using events which have occurred this year, however, we have carried out this theme by illustrating past events which have made this year's battles possible. Besides being "A Year of Destiny," 1944 has been a unique one. The first Seniors ever to graduate in January at Williston Academy have received their diplomas and are now either in the armed services or in colleges throughout the country. Another flight of Seniors graduate in May, and still another in August. The "Log" has had to allow for these changes, and several innovations have been necessary. Although the war has caused restrictions in paper, photographic materials, and time, this year's "Log" will have been a success if it accurately tells the story of Williston Academy during 1943 and 1944.

THIS VOLUME IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1944

Sffen in Service

Everyday the Alumni Office receives more letters from Williston graduates in the armed services. Every day more Williston men are undergoing hardship and dangers for us at home. Williston alumni have always added to the honor of the school, whether in peacetime or in war.

Reminders of Williston's contribution to the war are continually brought to the school in the form of alumni in uniform. The most recent reminder of this kind was certainly the most striking. At the mid-term graduation this year many were surprised to see receiving the first diploma a young man—William Armstrong '44—in the uniform of a cadet in the U.S.A.A.C. Bill Armstrong is the first of the graduating class of '44 to be called.

Besides the many former students in the armed services, there are also several members of the Faculty who have answered their country's call. Among these, the most recent was Lieutenant Archibald L. Hepworth of the United States Navy, who is on a leave of absence from the school.

Already Williston has been informed of the death of some alumni and of the capture or wounding of many others. The first to make the supreme sacrifice was Lieutenant Roger P. Warfield '34, U.S.A.A.C. Unfortunately many others will have to follow the same way before victory is ours. We know, however, that these men of Williston are proud to serve their country thus. Moreover, we on the home front who are getting an education to fit us for armed service or any other walk of life, fully realize the sacrifices these former Willistonites are making for us. To them certainly we all wish to show our gratitude.

The staff of the "Log," therefore, feels it a privilege to be able to pay tribute in some small way to the men who are fighting for our right to free speech and education. There are more than eight hundred Williston men in the armed forces of our country today. Space will permit listing of the names of those representing only the classes graduating since Pearl Harbor and also a few of the more recent casualties.

A Quarter of a Century at Williston

This year, 1944, marks the end of twenty-five years of service to Williston Academy by Headmaster Archibald V. Galbraith. In recognition of the fine record he has achieved, the -Log" hits set apart these few pages to give a brief account of his life at Williston.

Elected Headmaster of Williston in 1919, Mr. Galbraith has served the school in that capacity for twenty-five years. Because of the many improvements he has been instrumental in bringing about, Mr. Galbraith has achieved for Williston Academy a standard comparable to that of any New England preparatory school.

Despite the absence of sizeable financial aid, the school has been greatly modernized in the last twenty-five years. Work was started on the new gymnasium May 28, 1929. On Alumni Day, June 12, the site was officially dedicated by Mr. Galbraith in an impressive ceremony. The Recreation Center was officially opened for the use of the students in 1930. Containing a large gym floor which does triple duty as basketball floor, dramatic-club theater, and dance hall, an excellent swimming pool, several squash courts, two shower rooms, several locker rooms, the Dodge Room which serves as a common room, and the Crane and Whitney Rooms where art exhibits are displayed, this handsome building has taken its place as a functioning part of Williston life.

THE HOMESTEAD

The Home of the Principal

It might be mentioned that the Recreation Center, more than any other building, has helped to unify the school, for it is here that athletic contests, dances, concerts, plays, parties, and lectures take place.

Another enlargement which has helped to modernize the school is Galbraith Field. Full credit for the foresight, planning and supervision necessary to complete such a field goes to Headmaster Galbraith, for whom it was well named.

After a year of work, three soccer fields, and two football fields were completed in 1939. On two of the fields baseball diamonds were laid out, making baseball games possible during the spring. The first, second, and fencebusters

soccer teams, the canary and lightweight football teams, and the canary baseball teams have been given the honor of making this their home field.

Also concerning athletics, which Mr. Galbraith has made compulsory, for every student, is the change which Sawyer Field underwent in 1940. The familiar grandstand was taken down, the baseball diamond was seeded down, and a new diamond was constructed at the east end of the field. This was done in order to keep the sun out of the fielders' eyes.

Another example of the expanding school is the "I" Cabin. In 1930 the Cabin with twenty-five surrounding acres was rented. In 1940 this property was purchased, and in 1941 the school bought 150 more acres near the Cabin sight. Under the guidance of Mr. Grannis and the ''Y'' Cabinet, the Cabin has become an ideal place to spend a night and to relax, for it contains eleven bunks, sufficient blankets for any kind of weather, and two stoves.

Several times during the last twenty-five years the buildings have been remodeled and improved. Several walls in North Hall have been taken out to make large rooms and wider hallways. For many years South Hall was the seat of the headmaster's office, but this was changed some time ago, for the

feeling was that Middle Hall, because of its position on the Campus, was more central and thus better suited.

Although Mr. Galbraith has favored extracurricular activities and has made them an important part of the school life, he did away with the fraternities and secret societies which had for so long dominated the Campus life. These Greek letter fraternities at that time took the place of most of the ektracurricular activities. Because of the increase in athletic competition with other schools and the rise of extracurricular activities, there was very little excuse for the continuation of these fraternities, and in 1928 the last of them was discontinued.

Up until about twenty years ago, the Williston students were required to attend the Sunday services of local churches. Now visiting ministers preach to the student body at the seven o'clock chapel service in South Hall.

Principal Galbraith Leads a Commencement Procession

-Open house" is another custom which Headmaster Galbraith has instituted at Williston. At the present time the Homestead, besides being the home of Mr. and Mrs. Galbraith, is best known for this social function on Saturday evenings throughout the school year.

Three years ago, 1941, Mr. Galbraith guided Williston through its onehundreth year. The Centennial Celebration was attended by several thousand alumni and friends of the school.

Thus, the last twenty-five years, as viewed in retrospect, have been meniorabic ones in the history of Williston Academy. The school has become enlarged and put on a high standard scholastically. For all this we wish to offer our congratulations to Mr. Galbraith.

Besides being an extraordinary football player, determined to play despite his knee, Bill was a friend to all. Everyone who has known him will miss his ready smile, his never-ending stories, and his bashful greetings. Bill is off to the Army Air Corps, and we are expecting big things from a swell fellow.

"Bunny" has made quite a name for himself in his four years at Williston. Besides being a stalwart soccer player, he is undoubtedly the best miler this school has seen for a long time. Although "Bunny" is very quiet and modest, he is one of the really well-liked fellows of his class. Good luck, "Bunny"!

A historial event took place at'Williston last summer on June 21. A new type of summer school was opened to take care of men who might soon join the armed forces. In order to finish their secondary education, twenty seniors spent the summer at Williston and completed their first half year of work. During the regular fall and winter term they finished their second half year of work and were graduated in January.

Because the course was cut from sixteen weeks,a usual half-year's time, the schedule of the summer session was very difficult. From 6.45 A.M. till 10.15 P.M. there was not an idle moment. The morning classes started at 8:00 and ended at 1:10 P.M. The afternoon was spent in swimming or playing tennis, baseball or touch football. Study hall at night lasted from 7.30 till 10.00.

During the fall another student joined them, making their total twenty-one. Following graduation on January 23, most of these fellows entered the armed services or college training programs.

Although a man of few words, Bob had many friends in the student body. Let's hope Bob has as much success in the future as he had at Williston.

"Gil" is a non-talkative fellow who likes popular music, as is evidenced by his Glee Club activities, coffee, and good books. We haven't heard much about his love life, but we know he has a girl. Undoubtedly he will succeed in later life, but we wish him luck anyway.

DAVID RUFUS HOWES "Rufe"

45 Yale St., Holyoke, Mass. College: University of Chicago

Now we come to the class philosopher and authority on the fourth dimension. You could always find "Rufe" curled up in an armchair reading an economics book. His wordy vocabulary enabled him to use such expressions as, "Carbon has an extreme propensity to form co-valent compounds." Best of everything, "Rufe."

MONSON SEELEY LANE "Monie"

920 Sylvan Ave., Bridgeport, Conn. College: Dartmouth

"Monie" Lane has made quite a name for himself at the Burnham School. "Lover" Lane, as he is known in South Hall, captures the hearts of all the female species by his athletic prowess and personality, but he is strictly a one girl fellow. Best wishes to a swell guy.

ROBERT BLAKE JACKSON "Jack"

/North Washington St., Belchertown, Mass. College: Amherst

"Jack" came to Williston last summer and became known as a mystic who could pull rabbits out of empty hats. He's quiet on the campus, but in the dorm he really goes to town. When it came to acting "Jack" was more superb than he was as a magician.

Here's another boogie-woogie fan who has more record albums than anyone in Ford. He beats out a pretty mean jive on the ivories, too. Track! Here he comes again, tearing down the mountain on skiis. Excellent handling of the soccer ball made "Rog" a name for himself. Good luck, "Rog"!

Milt's room is one of the quietest in the building, and the same goes for Milt, too. A photography fiend, Milt can be seen on some part of the campus taking someone's photo. He is also a photographer for the Log, one of the reasons for this sterling edition..

Senior Poll

Returns from the annual Williston Senior Poll showed varied answers to the somewhat banal but interesting questions on topics related and unrelated to Williston.

Honors for having Done Most for Williston were bestowed upon Phil Roberts. Harry McClelland gained the title of Most Versatile. Chosen by his classmates as Most Popular, Best Athlete, and Most Modest was Phil Barnhart. Jim Conroy was polled as being Handsomest and Best Dressed. Selection as the Best Non Athlete was given to George Hoar. Dick Ceely was voted Best Natured, while Harve Laitigen came home with Most Humorous.

With ,due consideration to the elites outside Williston, Tommy Dorsey ranked highest in the field of orchestras, and Jane Russell was tabulated as the favorite Williston Pin-Up Girl.

Informal Senior Prom,

To give the seniors graduating in January some form of a prom, the Student Council sponsored a semi-formal dance on November 6, the day of the Deerfield football game. Held at the gymnasium, the dance, a big success with over fifty couples attending, lasted from 8 until 11.45 P.M.

Music was furnished by a Holyoke orchestra led by Bruce Richards, and although the band was small, it was really enjoyed, partly because of it willingness to play many requests.

A photographer was present to take pictures both of the dancers in the gym and of the graduating seniors with their girls in the Dodge Room. The latter pictures appeared on the front page of the winter commencement issue of the WILLISTONIAN.

The decorations were scant but sufficient and in good taste. The usual blue-and-gold Williston blankets were draped over the basketball hoops and the bandstand was decked with fresh-cut evergreens. Divans and easy chairs lined the walls, and the scene was lighted by floor-lamps. To top things off, the Student Council served Coca-Cola.

During the intermission, dancers were entertained by "Bud" Harrison at the drums and Ken Josephson at the piano.

May Senior Prom

As the Log is about to go to press, the outstanding social event of the year, Williston's gala Senior Promenade, is some three weeks distant. Plans for the dance, however, have been completely formulated by the Prom Committee.

The Prom, to be held on May 6, is given principally by and for seniors, but underclassmen are invited and encouraged to attend.

Good fortune was encountered in the engaging of Chappie Arnold and his orchestra. This feature promises enjoyable dancing to excellent music as Chappie made a big hit with the Prom-goers of last year. A bar serving coke and doughnuts will be open during the entire dance, from eight until twelve in the evening. Streamers and colored lights will constitute the central decorations, while flowers and shrubbery will be placed decoratively around the sides of the floor and the bandstand.

Through the efforts of members of the Prom Committee and their helpers, who will put in many hours of hard labor, the Prom cannot be anything but a success.

Atwood, Phinney.

Cum Laude

Dr. Abraham W. Harris was largely responsible for the organization of the Cum Laude Society. He served as President General until his death in 1935, and a great part of the progress which the Society has achieved is attributable to him.

The Cum Laude Society has changed its name (it was previously called the Alpha Delta Tau Fraternity), has made girls eligible to membership, and has opened the way to the institution of chapters in public high schools and preparatory schools, but it remains substantially what its Founders meant it to be. The Founders of the Society realized that the one sort of eminence that was not adequately recognized in the schools was that of scholarship. Many circumstances have combined to work a change in that respect during the course of the last twenty-five years. The growing prestige of the Cum Laude Society has been both a means and a measure of improvement.

Eighty-seven chapters, of which Williston was the nineteenth, and a total membership of 11,101 was the record of the Society in 1936 after three decades of existence. The success which Cum Laude members have had in college has undoubtedly been due in part, at least, to the inspiration which came to them through the Society during the secondary school years.

Mr. Archibald V. Galbraith, Mr. Lincoln D. Grannis, Mr. Melvin J. Cook, Mr. Osborn P, Nash II, and Mr. Robert V. Burdick are members of the society from the Williston faculty. They elect the boys each year who are to be given membership in the Society. Those students of the highest class in any academic course who have had an honor record up to the time of election and stand in the first fifth of. the class arei elected into the Society. Membership in the Society is one of the rarest privileges awarded to any boy for scholastic achievement. It represents continued work and study.

Because of the Coast Guard's very name, most people believe that its chief duty lies in protecting our coasts from invasion. Actually, however, large units of the Coast Guard have been sent overseas to take charge of landing operations. In this way the Coast Guard has contributed to our victories in Africa, Sicily, and Italy, and will play an important part in the forthcoming invasion of Europe, thereby helping to shape the destiny of future European civilization.

During the past season, the Williston Dramatic Club, under the leadership of President John Seiler, has enjoyed exceptional success.

A set of four one-act plays comprised the annual winter program presented on December 10. Mr. H. G. Boardman, directing three of the plays and taking a major part in one of them, did an unusually superb job. His three plays were "Detour," a melodrama of everyday life, "The Ghost of Jerry Bundler," the story of a legend concerning an inn in England, and "If Men Played Cards As Women Do," an hilarious comedy depicting the consequences if men did play cards as women do.

R. V. Burdick

Assistant Director

Concocted and directed by Mr. R. V. Burdick was a melodramatic farce entitled "For Whom the Clock Strikes" or "Who Done Wrong by Our Knell." As is customary with the products of Mr. Burdick's genius. this play went over with a "bang."

Something new came to Williston in March under the head of humor extraordinary. This "something new" was a super-production of "You Can't Take It With You," collaborated on by the Williston Dramatic Club and the Mask and Wig of the Northampton School for Girls. This a very confused story of a very confused family who can't make up their minds about anything. Constituting the befuddlement of this family are a ballet-dancing daughter, who, along with her husband, makes candy and is in constant hot water with the F.B.I., a mother who writes plays, and an old man who has some newfangled firework that will "make millions." Along with these there is a Russian ballet teacher and a conglomeration of other people.

'Hamp School representatives were Rosemary Sprague, playing the important part of Penelope Sycamore, and Betsy Withington who had dual roles, those of Mrs. Kirby and the Grand Duchess.

John Seiler had one of the most difficult roles in his portrayal of the Russian. As the grandfather, Don Soule, demonstrated his acting skill. Dave Hepworth took the romantic lead opposite Penny Brown of 'Hamp School.

MID-TERM GRADUATION BRINGS ALTERATIONS

With the January Graduation went two officers and several Assistants and Associates of The Willistonian. Phil Barnhart, Sports Editor for seven issues, was replaced by Richard Morse, who will continue on with next year's staff. Another early graduating officer was Gleynn Yeaton, Exchange Manager, being replaced in January by Fred Dederick.

Another change coming at the middle of the year was the addition of a Photography Staff. The work of George Chase, Milton Myers, and John Rourke, providing numerous pictures, proved to be valuable toward the success of this year's Willistonian.

WILLISTONIAN OFFERS MANY OPPORTUNITIES

Several Improvements Are Introduced By Staff

The Willistonian is one of the largest and most important organizations at Williston. Opportunity for experience in several different fields, such as literary, business, photography, and art, is offered by it. Also the results of the efforts of its workers are tangible, and much satisfaction and enjoyment is received by all who are a part of it.

One of the main purposes of The Willistonianis to report the school news. Appearing ten times a year, it has always done a-thorough job in recording athletic contests, school activities, and other items of interest to Williston. Other features of it are the editorials and other columns, photographs, and cartoons.

Among the things peculiar to this year's Willistonian is the fact that it contained (Continued on page 83)

The Business Department raised more money through ads and subscriptions than ever before, allowing more photographs to appear than in previous years. There was the War Bond campaign that quadrupled the War Stamp buying of the school. The WillisIonian also joined the Institute of Public Opinion and conducted regular polls of current interest among the students. Toward the end of the year it became a member of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association.

THE LOG

The Log

Probably the organization which felt war-time restrictions more than any other was the Log. Acute shortage of paper, cover material, and labor were over-come with the anticipation of the constant pleasure that may be derived from the Log in the not too distant future.

Several innovations have been introduced into the Log this year. As has been tite custom the last few years, formal pictures have been cut to a minimum, being substituted for by more informal groups. One of the biggest changes is the lay-out design. Throughout the organization and athletic sections each activity and athletic is illustrated in the background by a facsimile of the playing field or some characteristic of the activity. Amohg the new and interesting changes are included a different arrangement of the underclassmen, an enlarged candid-camera sction, and an increase in the number of advertisements.

A theme is usually carried throughout the Log. It is elaborated upon on divisional pages with both drawings and copy. This year's theme, 1944 — A Year of Destiny, was chosen not only because of its present-day importance but also because of its patriotic value. The idea of dedicating the Log to Williston men in service instead of a faculty member further bears out the theme.

The Log has, for many years, been a member of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Numerous medals and awards have been won, the award to last year's Log being First Place.

Although it is impossible to discuss each individual member of the Staff, the Log is deeply grateful for the fine co-operation of each member. Not only this co-operation was needed but also that of printers, engravers, and photographers was conducive to the successful completion of this book.

Acting as the head of the Log was the Log Executive Board. To the Faculty Advisor, whose dispensing of valuable aid was instrumental in effecting the changes in this Log, goes the Board's heart-felt thanks.

Student Council

Each year the students of Williston elect a number of boys from the different dormitories and from among the day students to make up the Student Council. These boys meet every Monday night to discuss school affairs, striving to keep the morale of the school at its best.

The chief aim of the Student Council is to act as mediator between the student body and the faculty. It is sometimes necessary to employ disciplinary measures when it is for the welfare of the student and the school. This group also enforces the honor system, which has proved to be highly successful in the past few years.

During the past year several informal dances have been held under the auspices of the Student Council, in addition to the frequent tea dances following football and basketball games. The late permission on Saturday nights, which was started last year and worked successfully, was continued this year by request of the Student Council.

This year, because of the mid-year graduation, there were two groups of boys composing the Council. The officers were as follows: first half year — Raymond Mason, President; Phil Barnhart, Vice-President; Philip Roberts, Secretary; second half year Richard Ceely, President; Albert Bosworth, Vice-President; Philip Roberts, Secretary.

The Y Cabinet

Among the oldest of all Williston organizations is the important but little known Y Cabinet, supervised by Mr. L. D. Granniss. This year the leadership has fallen to William Armstrong and Philip Roberts, who, with able assistance, have managed to maintain the same fine quality of school spirit and good fellowship that has prevailed at Williston in past years.

Activities began with the annual Y Reception at the beginning of the year, during which new boys and old made and renewed acquaintances. During the athletic seasons various tea dances were held after games and at each season's climax. The Y Cabinet sponsored smokers at which varsity letters were awarded. Our Golden Rule Sunday dinners were given under the auspices of th Y Cabinet.

Aid to numerous welfare organizations has always been one of the Y Cabinet's tasks. This year, besides collecting the usual old clothing and money, the Y Cabinet requested the students to donate any books (not texts) which they felt they could spare for help in the organization of an academy in Greece after the war.

Other duties of the Y Cabinet are maintaining the school cabin, the North Hall common room, and having sheets of school songs and cheers printed.

Adelphi-Gamma Sigma

Another successful year has been completed by the Adelphi-Gamma Sigma. For the first time in four years underclassmen predominated, all the officers being middlers except the Vice-Presidents, one being a senior, the other a junior. Forming the youngest organization since the name was changed from "The Belles Lettres Society" in 1937, the members, nevertheless, showed much intelligence in discussing world affairs and problems. Perhaps one of the most interesting facts about this year's society was that the majority of the Adelphi constituted the group with the highest results in the Time Test.

An interesting debate usually is held every year before the entire school with the audience determining the best debate. This year "Resolved: There should be one year's compulsory military training for men between the ages of seventeen and twenty-one after the war" was the topic chosen. The school was definitely opposed to this measure. Also from this club are chosen the participants in the Carew Debate.

International relations with Russia, Germany, and Japan after the war occupied the main interest during the year, but surprisingly enough, two of the better presentations were on the seemingly frivolous subject, "Williston should be co-educational."

Following the high standard set by previous Williston Glee Clubs, Mr. Charles E. Rouse's organization this year displayed an excellent group of some seventy odd singers. With such leading soloists as Ken Josephson, Clarke Clemmer, Arthur Meyerhoff and Al Nylen from last year, and Bill Sullivan, a new-corner, Mr. Rouse blended some fine voices with a powerful background into a superior Glee Club.

Interest in the organization was especially high this year. It had the largest membership of any of the various school societies, and the great majority of these members were ever faithful in their attendance at rehearsals. Extreme enthusiasm was displayed not only for the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, "The Pirates of Penzance," but also for the concerts.

The opening concert was presented at the Recreation Center before a goodly throng of students, townspeople, and faculty. As several of the older faculty men later said, it was as good an opening performance as any Williston Glee Club has ever rendered. The triple quartet was outstanding in this initial presentation with their renditions of "Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes" and "Old King Cole," while Ken Josephson played two cello solos beautifully. Several new songs were also added to the concert, such as "Adoramus Te," "Concordilae Titia," "For Thee 0 Dear, Dear Country," and some choruses from "Princess Ida."

Mid-year graduation exercises had a place for the Glee Club, both at the Baccalaureate service and at the graduation ce.remony. They followed this with a concert presented for the Easthampton Women's Club on February 18 at the Congregational Church. An added attrattion at this concert was Mr. Boardman's rendering of an entertaining talk about current Broadway plays. The annual concert with the girls from the Northampton School was the next opportunity for the Glee Club to sing. This was primarily a party for the fellows and girls who took part, and, as usual, it was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

The great hit of the year, however, was the "Pirates" operetta, presented in late May, again with the Northampton School for Girls. This is probably the showiest of any of the Gilbert and Sullivan classics, and it certainly went over in grand style. The choruses of policemen and pirates made a strong background for the soloists, who performed nobly.

A great deal of credit for this year's Glee Club success goes to Mr. Rouse and his assistant, Mr. Fred B. Hyde, who worked long and hard for the benefit of the fellows in the club.

The Radio Club

Inaugurated in the middle of February, the Radio Club immediately attracted attention. Under the direction of President George Hoar, Chief Engineer James Rogers, and Faculty Advisor W. S. Babcock, cursory instruction in radio theory was given.

An extensive campaign was planned. Lessons in radio theory were supplemented by the construction of a number of simple radios. The sets were built by the boys under the supervision of Mr. Babcock and Rogers, who holds a Commercial Radio Telephone Operator's License. They proposed to build a good short-wave radio receiver and possibly a carrier-current transmitter to transmit on local power lines. These broadcasts could be picked up on radios in the nearby vicinity with the aid of a special attachment.

The purpose of this organization is to give those interested in radio a practical and theoretical background, which will be invaluable to anyone going into the field of radio. Most colleges have similar organizations, and many of them have a small set-up whereby they can broadcast school events of importance. Although very few secondary schools have such clubs, they are becoming increasingly popular; consequently, after the war such clubs may well be as prominent as Dramatic, and Glee Clubs are now. With such promise for radio clubs, Williston will be proud of the fact that it pioneered in such an enterprise.

O'Brien, G. O'Brien, Meyerhoff, Burdick, Williams,

In this world war of such huge proportions the air transport plays a major role in establishing and maintaining communications and supply lines with our forces wherever they may be. The transport of supplies by air, moreover, makes available for our allies in Russia and China vital Lend-Lease material. With this all-important branch of our air arm in operation, we can feel more certain of our part in helping to shape the destiny of freedom-loving countries.

ATHLETICS

Athletic Advisory Board

Of much influence to the school's athletic activities is the Athletic Advisory Board. This board is comprised of five members of the student body and four members of the faculty. Each dormitory elects a boy to fill a position on the board, while the day students choose the fifth member. By advising the student members, the faculty representatives make this board a very efficient group.

The two main duties of the board are to award varsity letters to those fellows who have shown commendable and satisfactory performances in one of the seven major sports and to choose managers for the next year. These duties are performed at the end of the three athletic sessions in December, March, and May. This board is evidence of the voice the students have in running Williston's athletic system.

Seated (left to right): Mr. Babcock, Mr. Lash, Mr. Putnam, Mr. Lossone. Standing (left to right): Laurent, Maine, Roberts, Olson, Butler.

Cheer Leaders

Without doubt the greatest asset in backing a team is a spirited cheering section. This, however, cannot be realized without an effective organization of sincere and hardworking cheer leaders.

This year our teams were backed to the limit through the efforts of an exceptionally fine group led by James MacFarland during the football season and later by Richard Fitzgerald.

Rallies, consisting of cheers and songs, planned by these cheer leaders usually took place in the Chapel on the Saturday mornings before the games, but on the eve of the annual contest with Deerfield this year, the students held an extra pre-game rally in the Chapel, and put banners up on the buildings. Because of their planning of the rallies and organizing of the cheering at games, these boys deserve much of the credit for the success of our athletic contests.

1943 Football Review

This year's Williston gridmen did not have a sensational record, yet they improved last year's record by a noticeable margin. Two games were won, one was tied, and two were lost. Coach Dale Lash realized the lack of experience of his candidates and depended on speed, good ball handling, and deception. The team responded well to the Coach's practice and scrimmages, which paid dividends throughout the season.

Sammy entertained Suffield for the first contest of the season. Remarkable teamwork and execution of plays crushed the visitors 32-0.

Wilbraham provided the first tough competition. Highlights of this nip and tuck battle included the remarkable passing combination of Yeaton and Barnhart, "Tookie" Dyer's outstanding play at guard, and Phil Barnhart's interception which he carried 85 years for the second tally. For the second year in a row the two teams battled to a deadlock, the final score being 13-13.

The next game was with Springfield's Classical High, a hard-fighting team, which was beaten by the Bule Gold, 16-7, in a close contest.

Sawyer Field was invaded by Deerfield the following Saturday afternoon. The Wildcats just did not click, and Deerfield walked away with a 31-0 victory before a dance-weekend crowd.

A powerful, undefeated Mt. Hermon team marked the closing contest of the season. Williston, although unquestionably the underdog, showed remarkable precision in the working of the plays, ripping through the Hermonites line and flinging passes which put a noticeable fear into the unconquered home team. Although leading 19-12 at the half, the Wildcats lost by the score of 31-19. Dick Maine worked brilliantly all afternooh shooting his unerring passes into the arms of Barnhart, Clemmer, or Nylen. Out. standing performances were given by "Sleepy" Reynolds, Don Butler, and Captain Ray Mason.

Coach Babcock Co-Capts. Bosworth—Laurent

The Soccer Team

The "Cinderella" team of this year was without a doubt the soccer team. Under the combined coaching of Messrs. W. S. Babcock and H. G. Boardman, one of the finest set of "booters" in New England was molded out of an array of unusually green talent. Head Coach Babcock, using Co-Captains Laurent and Bosworth as the nucleus of his .team, put forth what was to be one of the finest soccer teams to come out of Williston in a long time.

To everyone's mutual surprise, Monson was defeated 6-0. This victory saw the return of Harry McClelland, previously declared unfit for competition, to left wing. Success followed success. It was not, however, a case of easy competition. For our boys, it was up-hill sledding all the way.

The team's true ability and fighting courage was superbly displayed in the last minute comeback in the second game against Wilbraham when Jeff Hardy scored four goals to send us to a 6-5 victory.

Again the team's magnificent ability to fight against odds was displayed in the Deerfield game. A heavily favored Green and White was lucky to come away with a 2-2 tie with the Blue and Gold.

Another decisive blow was suffered when a strong Mt. Hermon team was handed a 2-0 defeat. Here, as in previous games, ever-faithful Co-Captain Paul Laurent was the backbone of the team.

This was a real team, not a set of individuals playing for their own benefit. Throughout the season such lads as Ken Josephson, Jim Bryan, in fact, the entire team, showed superb exhibitions of clean, hard soccer. Sammy should be indeed proud of her undefeated 1943 soccer team, with five wins and one tie.

Coach Lash

Captain Barnhart

Basketball

Coach Dale Lash, in his second coaching year at Willistot?, produced a second winning basketball team. His quintet sprinted through a season of fourteen wins and four losses.

Captain Phil Barnhart and Ray Mason were the mainstays of this year's team. Until their graduation in January, the team had gone through nine games with but one defeat. Among the more potent squads that were beaten by the Wildcats were Springfield Tech, Amherst Freshmen, and Deerfield Academy. The Lashmen, however, went down in defeat at the hands of Westfield by a 52-47 score at the Williston gym. This was one of the most exciting games that has been witnessed here for many years. In all' of these nine games, both Captain Barnhart and Mason hit double figures in the scoring column.

Paul Laurent succeeded Barnhart as captain and set the pace for his team. The reorganized quintet met Hopkins Academy in their first outing and thoroughly trounced the boys from Hadley, 36-22. This dispelled.any doubts as to the potency of the untested five who would try to make Williston forget their two stars. From here the boys swept on to six victories, while losing three. One of the wins was over Mount Hermon, 24-22. This again was a thrilling game featured by the fine ball-handling of the Blue and Gold.

To Captain Laurent, Monie Lane, Dave Hepworth, Herb Fisher, Dick Showalter, Bill Sullivan, and Don Soule, along with Barnhart, Mason, and Tom Reynolds, go orchids for playing great basketball games and making this a banner Williston basketball season.

Coach Lossone

Captain Bosworth

Hockey

A head start was gained by our hockey team bec:.use of the return of lettermen Schneider, MacMillan, Pepin, and Yeaton. Coach W. J. Lossone placed Bosworth in the cage and stood Don Butler beside MacMillan for his two defensemen. For its forward line the Wildcats had Schneider at center flanked by Pepin and Yeaton.

With this fast, hard-hitting team, the hockey sextet overcame its first two opponents, Wilbraham and Athol. A spirited Wilbraham team was defeated on January 12 by a score of 3-1, and a strong Athol team traveled to Williston on January 15 to challenge the Wildcats in what proved to be a close and exciting contest resulting in another victory for Lossone's puckmen, 3-2.

With one loss after the mid-winter graduation, the Williston pucksters met a decided defeat at the hands of Deerfield who piled up seven goals, thus blanking the Wildcat six, 7-0. The main reason for this defeat was the large number of penalties called on the Wildcats. At one stage of the game, while Williston had three defensemen in the penalty box, the Deerfield club drove home three goals.

In the first game against the Hermonites on February 9, the score ended in a 2-2 deadlock after a hard and fast game which demanded two overtime periods. The Blue and Gold showed their drive once more in defeating the Hermonites by a 4-2 count on the following Saturday. In this final game of the season, Ceely and MacMillan got their sole goals of the season.

Considering the loss of the first line in January, the team had a comparatively successful season with three wins, a tie, and two defeats. Special mention is due to Captain Schneider, Pepin, and Yeaton; Captain Bosworth, Butler, and MacMillan; and the two determined forward lines.

Baseball

Although the baseball season has just begun, the squad is getting into the swing of things, and the probable starting line-up has been picked. Prospects, at the present, look fairly good. Only three letter men, Bosworth, Dyer, and Morse returned. Several newcomers, therefore, will occupy varsity berths. The most promising of these is Don Butler, who last year had a .400 batting average at Holyoke, and who was All Western Massachusetts.

As the line-up now stands, it is Waite or Hepworth at first, Zundell at second, Captain Bosworth on third, and Morse at short stop. Dyer, Butler, and Anthony are the probable outfielders. Thayer is the utility infielder, and Eaton will probably see action in the outfield. Lane will be behind the bat, with Genn relieving him. Of all the departments, the inexperinced pitching staff seems to be the weakest. Donaldson, left over from last year's varsity, and Waldo are apparantly destined for starting berths, and Maine shows latent ability.

In spite of some apprehension, Coach Dale Lash feels that Captain Bosworth's nine should be able to "bring home the bacon."

Tennis

The Williston tennis team this year will find itself under a new coach, Mr. R. V. Burdick, who succeeds Mr. Archibald Hepworth. Coach Burdick has had wide experience in this sport and is himself an expert player. As instructor, he hopes to turn out a good tennis team. Asisting Mr. Burdick at the coaching helm is Mr. Thorner, who is in his initial year as a teacher at Williston. Mr. Thorner has, in his own right, won several tennis tournaments. He will school the second and third teams in the finer points of the game.

There is but one letterman returning this year, Captain Henry Meagher; the team, therefore, will have to depend primarily for its success upon new arrivals. In early workouts, Herbert Fisher has been uncovered, and Coach Burdick is counting on him. Captain Meagher, who was outstanding last year as number two man on the team, is in fine form and looks forward to another successful season.

A prediction as to the calibre of this year's squad cannot be made. Although the success will depend on new talent, Coach Burdick and Captain Meagher are confident of producing a worthy Williston tennis team.

Track

At the beginning of the 1944 track season, the light-footed members of Williston Academy turned out in force for track coach Mr. Frank W. Putnam. Approximately fifty boys were on hand for the first day's practice, and, from these fifty, "Put" feels that he will be able to round'out quite a good team.

The best prospects so far are Conrad Hunter and Paul Laurent in the hurdles. Clarke Clemmer, who may also do the hurdles, and John T. Griffin, are certain choices to hold down the running end. Griffin is a new boy at Williston, and showed great promise in the winter track, and during the Inter-Dormitory Competition. Sam McMillan, Phil Roberts, Harmon Liebman, and Bill Oppenheim are doing their share of the work down with Coach Wilmot Babcock on the weights. Coming along in the javelin, besides Sam and Harmon, is Dick Hoar. Pole vaulting is still "among the unknown." Hunter is the most likely prospect, as he is the only man on the squad who has previously done any vaulting. Up in the wrestling room the high jumpers have been working on their form, and, at present, Robert Wehrli, Donald Kester; and Donald Greene are showing the most promise.

The merits or demerits of the team, however, depend entirely on the new additions to the squad. Nevertheless, everyone may be certain that "Put," "Babs," and "Bink" will do a fine job in molding the pieces into an able organization.

Built in 1864, the first preparatory school gymnasium in the country, serving the school for sixty-six years, it remains a permanent and pleasant memory in the minds of all who played in it, and its beautiful tower stands today as a guiding landmark.

Minor Athletics

Athletics at Williston offers to every student an equal opportunity to compete. Each boy, whether ne be an outstanding or just a mediocre athlete has this privilege. The several minor teams, such as the Canaries, Lightweights, Fencebusters, and Tongs, are composed of a great majority of the students.

The minor squads are made up primarily of those boys who lack the ability and experience of the varsity squads. Nevertheless, in Tom Reynolds, a speedy halfback, the Canary football team possesed a fine player. His seventy yard gallop against the Deerfield Lightweights, which came on the initial play from scrimmage, sparked his team to a 6-0 victory. This was the outstanding success for any of the minor combines this year. The Fencebreakers and Fencebusters, minor soccer teams, contributed greatly towards the success of this year's varsity soccer team.

What the Tongs lacked in skill, they made up in fight. The league games this year showed few allstars, but the fellows played with a great deal of spirit and fought all the way. The result was a hotly contested Tong League. The Dartmouth team, which won the second of the three races for the league title, was the outstanding quintet of the year. Led by Don Greene, who attained an amazing total of over two-hundred points in ten games, Dartmouth suffered defeat but once.

The minor spring teams, baseball and tennis, also had good seasons. The fellows worked hard and really enjoyed themselves.

Every boy, at one time during the year, has a chance to win for his team as an individual. This is during the inter-Dorm Competition, which is usually held in the spring. In successive meets lasting about ten days, everyone must enter at least one event each day, which again follows Williston's policy of sports for all.

Military experts acknowledge that the factor of most immediate importance in the attack is the tank. For the tank not only crushes enemy opposition in advance of the attack, but, also, it affords invaluable protection for our troops. Together with the thousands of other engines of war made possible by the buying of War Bonds, the tank is one of the vital cogs in the war machine that is deciding the fate of our doctrine of freedom.

YOUR BOY is very precious to you. For him you want the best obtainable opportunity to grow and to develop into a young man who will be a credit to his family.

We hereat Williston Junior School — Mrs.Clare,the faculty, and I — all appreciate our greatresponsibility when we accept your boy into school. He is not just another student. He is a boy with an individuality of his own, his own rate of growth, his own personality problems. He doesn't admit it, but he wantsto be helped,and admired,and loved;he likewise needs to become self-reliant. We guide him in his relations with his chums and with grown-ups. We assist him with his lessons in the classroom and study. We plan for his physical care and development,and for his acquisition of manual skill. All these things are done with an eye on the formation of sound habits of body and mind.

In all these relations with him we act in the dual capacity of teacher and foster parent — for ours is a home as well as a school and in the home life we act "in loco parentis." Indeed, so blended are the two capacities that it is difficult to know where the teacher or where the parent functions. All this is as it should be, for boys ten to fourteen need the affection of a home as well as the discipline of a school. This booklet presents a few views of a boy's life here. They show something of the atmosphere,equipment,and activity of the school. We shall be glad to have you visit Williston yourself to meet the masters and boys and to talk over with us any problems in your boy's education. Sincerely yours,

The Williston Calendar

The Williston Calendar for 1944, published by the Log Board, proved to be as popular as in the past. About five hundred calendars were sold to students, faculty, alumni, and friends of the school. The fine support which The Log Staff has received from the sale of calendars and also from the patrons and advertisers is greatly appreciated. It is this excellent cooperation which makes it possible, each year, to publish a high class, first rate school annual.

As we know from our newspapers, the landing barges have stood foremost in our attacks on the atolls of the South Pacific, and we are aware of their decisive importance to the imminent invasion of Europe.

When the thousands of Allied landing barges cross the Channel to establish a second front, we can be certain that the final step has been made in our reconquest of Europe and in the deciding of the destiny of all captive peoples.

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 yieild to Thee, Minding still her ancient watchword, Christo et Ecclesiae; That, where'er our warfare lead us, Though the battle bear us down, And we win no wreath of laurel, Hers may be the victor's crown.

Here today upon her altars

We present our sacrifice; Though tomorrow widely sundered, Still may this our prayer arise.

God preserve our Alma Mater, Williston, forevermore; In the sunshine of Thy favor, Guard her, keep her, we implore.

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, Go forward with might

To work for the right And bring forth the brave newday.
