The year 1946 holds a great significance in the life of Williston Academy, for in this year a fund-raising drive for new buildings marked the tangible beginning of Williston's eventual movement to the New Campys, where new buildings will be erected in future years. The theme of our yearbook is concerned with the buildings that have been in use by its students and faculty for many years. After each divisional page may be found pictures and histories of the present buildings.
With the end of the war the world was confronted with a new era of developments. Williston starts its improvements with the raising of funds this year. In years to come the famed buildings, North, South, and Middle, with their traditional dormitories, offices, laboratories, and classrooms will not be a part of Williston any more, but will be long remembered.
Inasmuch as the purpose of a yearbook is to review and record the memories of that year to the students, this year, in respect to Williston, to the campaign, and to the Senior Class, we have tried to bring together the memories of the year 1945-1946. With this in mind we have attempted to compile as fine a yearbook as possible. We take this opportunity to thank the faculty, the students, and others for their cooperation. In addition, we wish the best of luck to the campaign for raising funds so that in later years the new Williston may bestow the gift of knowledge as liberally upon future 'students as it has on the Senior Class.

HOWARD GILKEY BOARDMAN -9ra Actication
There is no teacher now at Williston who has been as versatile or who has been as much of an all-around part of school life as Mr. Boardman, who has completed his twenty-fifth year as a Williston faculty member. His innumerable contributions to Williston life since his election in 1921 have included his being Alumni Secretary, the chief link between the school and its graduates; our foremost French teacher, in which capacity he earnestly but often fruitlessly attempted to instill the rudiments of that language into our craniums; Dramatic Club-coach, over a period of years the hair-tearing actor and producer of all our successful plays; soccer coach, the developer of invincible teams; housemaster of Ford Hall, the smiling disciplinarian; and finally, in recognition of his capabilities in yet another field: he has been made director of the schools Second Century fund raising campaign, a-job worthy of his ability.
It is because of his keen wit, versatility, and friendliness that "Boardy" has attained the popularity which he well deserves. The Log Executive Committee and the Senior Class realized his worth and unanimously chose to dedicate this Log to Howard Gilkey Boardman.

The Homestead, oldest and most traditional building of the existing Williston estate, is perhaps the one building that will linger longest in the memories of graduating Seniors.
Prior to 1843 Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Williston, founders of the Academy, resided at 31 Park Street with Mr. Williston's father. However, with four adopted children, Mr. Williston found his father's house too congested; therefore, in 1843 a Georgian-styled house was built on twenty-three acres of land situated at what is now the New Campus. The house was embellished with statues, gardens, a conservatory, and a private water supply. It was very fashionable and modern, and for a while it was considered the showplace of Easthampton.
After Mr. Williston's death in 1874, Mrs. Samuel Williston continued to live there for eleven years. When on her deathbed, she willed the Homestead to the school for the residence of future headquarters. Since that time Dr. William Gallagher,Dr.Joseph Sawyer, and Dr. Archibald V. Galbraith have made it their home.
Among the many customs that have been initiated or carried over by Dr. Galbraith are those of "open house," of holding receptions and giving dinners at the Homestead. Dr. Galbraith was the first to begin open house. On Saturday nights the house is open to all boys; there are refreshments, games, and dancing with the invited girls. The Senior Prom dinner, Commencement dinner, and also numerous ,faculty and outside receptions are given in its spacious rooms. With these events the Homestead has taken on new meaning as a part of Williston, for the good times had within its doors have helped to establish it as a traditional building of the Academy.

Situated in the middle of the old campus is Middle Hall. With its irregular form of architecture it remains the most important building of the school, because here is housed the administrative center of the school.
Middle was erected in 1844, when Mr. Williston decided its building was necessary to further the progress of the then new Williston Seminary. In order to furnish the Hall's various classrooms with modern equipment, the extra sum of twenty thousand dollars was appropriated for this purpose.
The Principals office, the secretarys office, the business office, the bookstore, and the teachers' office all lie on the first floor of the Hall facing the entrance. Besides the various classrooms, physics, biology, and chemistry laboratories, there is a study hall for students. The Adelphi-Gamma Sigma, the school's oldest organization, also occupies one of its rooms. In comparative importance Middle Hall excels all other buildings.
Entered 1945; Soccer 4, Log 4; Glee Club 4, Double Quartet 4; Band 4; Gift Committee 4.
When an English teacher innocently asked,"What part in 'Othello' would you prefer to play?," it was Stu Andrews who, with grim visage and set jaw, answered "Desdemona." Aside from his ingenuous interjections, he is noted for his perennial red cap. "Tootie" easily became indoctrinated in the traditions of North Hall's fourth floor, and soon proved to be a likable humorist who added life to any grokip, either in class or at a "bull session." An incomparable musician, he is an ardent member of the Double Quartet, and his trombone renditions have sparked the band immeasurably.

HERBERT BEENHOUWER "Beenie"
New York, N. Y. College: Williams
Entered 1944; Soccer 4(W), Baseball 3.
"Beenie" again proved himself an asset to the school this last year. His valuable work on the soccer field earned him many praises and thanks, and his league basketball record will long be remembered. Successfully varying his constant flow of speech, he augmented the Glee Club. On the academic side he was particularly proficient in mathematics, and Mr. Cook's class was often as not a proving-ground for some of his garrulous but good-natured wit. He will be remembered for his inspiring jokes.
FREDERICK DUNCAN BERKELEY, JR. "Fred"
415 Lexington Avenue
College: Cornell
Entered: 1944; Soccer 3,4(W); Hockey 3(W),4(W); Willistonian 4; Y Cabinet 4; Student Council 4, President; Glee Club 4, President; Double Quartet 4; Senior Prom Committee 4; Band 3,4; Class Vice-President 4.
"Still water runs deep" is certainly a phrase applicable to Fred Berkeley. Quiet and modest in spite of his enviable record, he was admired greatly by his masters and fellow-students. He was on the soccer and hockey squads; his extra-curricular activities include executive posts in the school's leading organizations, which testifies to his ability and popularity. Williston will always remember him as a boy who was everybody's friend and certainly treated everyone as such. A fine student and a true friend, Fred will undoubtedly have a future true to his style.

EUGENE BRUCE BERMAN "Uje"
College: Undecided
Holyoke, Mass.
Entered 1942; Soccer 3,4(W); Adelphi-Gamma Sigma 1,3,4, President 4; Debating Team 4; Dramatics 1,2,3,4, Executive Committee 4; Willistonian 2,3,4, Editor-in-chief 4; Log 2,3,4; Radio Club 2.
In his four years at Williston Gene Berman has shown many outstanding qualities. He has participated in nearly all forms of extra-curricular activity and has achieved high positions in most of them; through his dogged perseverance he gained in his final year a letter in soccer; this persistence characterizes all of his efforts. He is also one of the very few boys who can seriously concentrate on German passages while a battle royal rages in his room. Finally,"Uje" has the qualities of a true friend, and in exercising them to full advantage he has become as popular as he truly deserves.
Scientific and precise, John Blake has done well at Williston both scholastically and academically. One of the few individuals who can be classified a mathematical genius, John uses his powers to advantage in advanced math and chemistry. An earnest and conscientious student, his industry is reflected in his honor record. Outside the classrooms he has been an invaluable member of the soccer, hockey, and tennis squads. John's free Friday nights were often spent at the Easthampton High gym or at the Majestic Theater.
Little Paul Brenner has proved to be another upholder of the contention that "good things come in small packages." Untiring application to his studies have kept his grades up, although he is not a confirmed "grind." In athletics he surprised everyone by not only becoming a leading league basketball player, but also starring as one of the first tennis team's most valuable netmen. Paul's other activities were widely varied, taking in work on two publications as well as the "Y"-Cabinet and Adelphi. His potent clarinet was heard with the band, rounding out his noteworthy record at Williston.
"The keeper of the wit," Ken is another one of those boys who always adds a lot to a crowd. His quick instinctive way of doing things and unyielding management of "Club Payson" will undoubtedly be remembered by everyone. He also served wisely and well on the Student Council, using an iron hand on all offenders. One of the reasons that Ken did not participate more thoroughly in extra-curricular activities is his intense interest in building model airplanes, which will help him in designing the real ones later.
Eddy Call, the most popular boy in school, has displayed the excellent qualities of personality and ability which helped him to two years of leadership. This is best shown by the simple fact that he has been an executive of nearly every major organization in Williston. His athletic record in soccer, basketball, and tennis is also notable but not surprising to those who have seen him in action. Ed's popularity stems from his innermost nature; anyone who even hears him expound the virtues of "Worshington" cannot help liking him. After two years such as he has spent here, Ed Call will surely go on as successfully as ever.
KIP INGERSOL CHACE, JR. "Kip"
College: Undecided
Entered 1941; Football 2,3; Hockey 2,3,4; Tennis 1,2; On leave to Navy: 1943-1946.
Kip is another boy who interrupted a successful career at Williston by a sojourn in the Armed Forces. While he was here he compiled a terrific record in athletics, starring in many first teams. After an absence during which he did an impressive job in the Marines, he came back this year to graduate. He followed his previous bent by starring in the hockey team, and was an asset to the school for the remainder of his stay here.
In South Hall resides the genial Mr. Coleburn,chemistry fiend, closet hermit, humanitarian. Ken's other interests include tennis, people, and Northfield. Hailing from Norwalk, he is always the man for a long talk or a Monday evening chat, brief and to the point. Outstanding member of the Dramatic Club, Photography Editor of the Log, member of the Student Council and the "Y" Cabinet, he takes a keen•interest in student activities. Ken is also a two-year letterman in tennis, being one of the squad's outstanding players. Well liked and respected by his dorm-mates, Ken is one of the most genial personalities in Williston.

JAMES
North Adams, Mass. College: Holy Cross
Entered 1945; Football 4(W);Skiing 4;Baseball4(W);Ring Committee 4.
Jim Curran, a new spark on this year's football team, was not confined in his ability to his work in the line, for the passing combination of Foley and Curran worked like a charm for more yardage. His superlative work at end received much praise. In winter sports he was also an invaluable aid to the ski team, and his baseball ability was a thing of note. Out of playing togs he was a most unassuming and good-natured boy, and judging from his activities here,Big Jim should have no trouble in college sports and campus life.
WILLIAM CURRAN "Big Jim"
JAMES ROBERT DUMKE "Jim"
202 Highbrook Avenue Pelham, N. Y.
College: Harvard
Entered 1944; Football 4; Dramatics 3,4, Chief Electrician 4; Log 4, Associate Business Manager 4; Glee Club 3,4; Gift Committee 4.
Jim Dumke could easily be found by searching the campus for the biggest smile. It is probably this amazing ability of being ready to put you in the same jovial state as his own that endeared him to everyone, for he was one of the best-liked figures in the school. A prodigious skier in his own right, Jim was extremely capable as the advertising manager of this Log. Incidentally, this electrical and mathematical genius was consistently good in his studies, which adds more proof that he will be missed upon graduating.
325 Main Street Easthampton, Mass. College: R. P. I.
Entered 1944; Soccer 4(W); Hockey 3(W),4(W); Baseball 3,4.
The Easthampton red-head who always has a smile on his face, Blair is one of those athletically-minded boys who is also a very good student. Having succeeded in making a name for himself in soccer, hockey, and baseball, he also has obtained high marks in his studies with extraordinary precision. Incidentally, Red has a sparkling personality. He is planning to enter some special field of engineering, and without a doubt we are sure he will have a worthy reputation there.
BLAIR ROBERTSON DUNCAN "Red"

WILLIAM BURDETT DUNHAM
"Bulbous"
Dudley, Mass. College: Harvard
Entered 1944; Dramatic Club 4; Log 3,4, Assistant Managing Editor.-4; Glee Club 3,4.
"Jelly Roll" Dunham, whose Ford Hall abode became the swing music mecca throughout the school, was. himself no mean impresario on the piano. Aside from his numerous records and renditions of the sweet and hot, Bill was noted for his ever-present sardonic humor. His life-like portrayal of a gin-embittered cynic endeared him to our dramatic critics, while his scholastic feats were the envy of many a student. His all-around personality made him a decided asset to Sammy's campus.
844 Mercer Street
RICHARD BERRYMAN ELLIS "Dick"
Albany, N. Y. College: Hamilton College
Entered 1945; Dramatics 4; Willistonian 4; Log 4, Associate Literary Editor 4; Glee Club 4; Band 4.
Dick made his first appearance at Summer School, and word soon got around that we were honored by a jazz critic par excellence. An experienced virtuoso on the clarinet, his superb record collection indicates his taste as well as his well-versed knowledge of anything pertaining to the sweet and the hot. Aside from his music,Dick showed interest in the Willistonian, the Log, and also in the Dramatic Club, where his portrayal of a Cockney aroused many favorable comments. Someday we may see maestro Ellis at the head of a successful band, but more likely he will have spent his savings on rare records.
11 Blodgett Street
DAVID SCOTT FOOTE "Dave"
Springfield, Mass. U.S. Navy
Entered 1943; Football 3,4; Hockey 3; Track 4(W); Adelphi-Gamma Sigma 3,4; Dramatics 3,4; Willistonian 3; Glee Club 2,3,4.
One of the notorious "baker's dozen" of South Hall, Dave is renowned for his dormitory activities. Outside the hall he has made his presence felt on the athletic fields, being an ardent participant in football, hockey and track. He has rendered valuable aid as assistant property manager on the stage crew, and his bass voice has for three years been a backbone of the Glee Club. Persistent in his arguments in Adelphi, Dave will surely use that quality to good advantage in the Navy.
49 Rosemary Street
HOBART CLIVE GOTTLIEB "Hobey"
College: Yale
Norwood, Mass.
Entered 1943; Football 1,3(W),4(W); Skiing 1; Hockey 3(W),4(W); Track 1(W),3(W),4(W),Captain 4; Adelphi-Gamma Sigma 1; Willistonian 1,3; Log 1,3,4, Assistant Literary Editor 4; Glee Club 1,4; Senior Prom Committee 4.
Hobey Gottlieb has distinguished himself in many ways while at Williston. His athletic prowess is testified to by his numerous letters and awards,among which is the gold football for the most outstanding player. His intellectual side contains many honor periods. He always seems to spend his Saturday nights in fairer company—no amateur he! Above all, he is very popular and well-liked both in sports and in the rest of school life. Hobey has shown unconquerable intestinal fortitude, and it is because of this perseverance that he is destined to succeed in his undertakings.
York Street Canton, Mass. U. S. Navy
Entered 1942; Radio Club 2; Band 3,4; Willistonian 3,4.
Almost universally acclaimed as "the most humorous," Buzz has gone through Williston wielding a wide grin and a large vocabulary as effective laugh-producing weapons. It is strange how many boys of lesser knowledge of etymology have brightened when referred to as the "officious one," or scowled when accused by Mr. Groden of being overweeningly perspicacious. The resounding of thumps of his bass drum have paced the band's recitals and driven some poor souls crazy for the last two years. His literary efforts on the Willistonian caused surprising reactions among various parties, but on the whole they, like Buzz himself, were the object of affectionate teeth-gnashing.
EUGENE RICHARD GRODEN "Buzz"
131 Joralemon Street
Brooklyn, N. Y. College: Massachusetts State (U. S. Navy)
Entered 1944; Football 3,4(W); Track 2,3(W),4(W);Student Council 4; Glee Club 2,3,4, Vice-President 4; Ring Committee 4.
Dick Gruttemeyer is usually associated with the fearsome phrase two days extra waiting," for he is well-known as the capable but strict headwaiter of Payson Hall. Since Dick entered Williston three years ago, he has distinguished himself in all branches of school life. As one of South Hall's Student Council members he has become the nemesis of underage smokers; he has an enviable record in football and track; in addition, he is a prominent member of the Double Quartet and also of Mr. Putnam's German III trio.
RICHARD GORDON GRUTTEMEYER "Grutt"
DAVID WHITMAN HEPWORTH "Heppie"
College: DaitmOuth
Easthampton, Mass.
Entered 1942; Football 2,3(W ),4(W); Basketball 1,2(W),3(W),4(W), Co-Captain 4; Baseball 2(W ),3(W ),4(W), Captain 4; Dramatics 2,3,4, President 4; Willistonian 1,2,3; Log 4, Assistant Business Manager 4; "Y" Cabinet 4, President 4; Student Council 4; Athletic Advisory Board 3,4; Class President 1,2,3,4.
Following in the footsteps of the late FDR,Dave Hepworth was elected class president in each of his four years at Williston—only one proof of his proven ability and popularity. A local boy who has immeasurably made good, "Heppie" is certainly one of the most versatile boys in school. He is President of the "Y" Cabinet and Dramatic Club, on the Student Council and Athletic Advisory Board, Assistant Business Manager of the Log, and, as an added attraction, a three-letter man in football, basketball, and baseball Truly one of Williston's favorite sons, Dave Hepworth has achieved an enviable record in his four years here.
88 View Street New Haven, Conn. College: Yale
Entered 1945; Football 4; Track 4(W); Glee Club 4.
A newcomer to Williston this year, Hugh Kennedy was soon recognized as one of the most fleet-footed boys in school. He used his great speed on the football gridiron to great advantage, and was a very important addition to the track team. A thoroughly likable fellow, his friendly open attitude has made him many friends in the short time he has been here. Hugh had expected to continue a successful career at Yale next year, but the Army unfortunately interrupted his hopes.
HUGH ANTHONY KENNEDY, JR. "Hugh"
321 Locust Street
Entered 1945.
THOMAS HOPPER KENNEY, JR.
College: Undecided
Florence, Mass.
Another of the day boys. Each and every morning the battered cars would pull up in front of Middle Hall, and one of the passengers disgorged would be Mr. Kenney,quiet but recep- tive. Although not as athletic as some of his fellow townsmen, Tom made up for it by being a conscientious and sincere student. He was a very able worker who took pride in finishing whatever he set out to do. He came to Williston to be prepared for college, and he should be congratulated for achieving his goal.
"Tom"
RICHARD GRANT KNOWLAND, JR. "Dick"
College: Williams
Entered 1943; Willistonian 3; Log 3.
Goshen, Mass.
One of Dick Knowland's hobbies at Williston comes under the heading of "little known facts about students," for he is one of the few boys to come here who can claim painting for an avocation. For extra-curricular activities he was in the Glee Club and also on the Willistonian staff. He was always quiet and unobtrusive during his stay here, but was well liked in his own circle of friends. If that hobby of his ever develops, there will be many of us happy to say that "we knew Dick when."

KENNETH PETER LANGBEHN "Ken"
College: Undecided
Vero Beach, Florida
Entered 1944; Tennis 3(W),4(W),Captain 4; Football 3,4(W); Basketball 3,4; Glee Club 3.
From the sunny South in Florida came Ken Langbehn to grace the corridors of South Hall. A very conscientious student, athlete, and easily one of the most modest boys at school, he has remained aloof, descending only to make friends and to receive honors in athletics. Captain of the tennis team, he is also very skilled in football and basketball; he enjoys all forms of athletics and holds his good friend Tony Lavelli as an ideal sportsman. Although maintaining his detached position, Ken is respected and liked by everyone.
476 Farmington Avenue
Hartford, Conn.
Armed Service
Entered 1944; Football 3,4(W); Hockey 3,4(W); Dramatics 4; Willistonian 3,4; Log 3,4.
Jack Leonard's room at Ford Hall is decorated with some good paintings rather than the usually prevalent pin-ups. This provides an interesting insight into the serious side of Jack's character, for, though he is always full of fun, he has a sober side also. A chief outlet for his energy is athletics—he has played first string football, hockey, and baseball. He was also a sports writer for the Willistonian. Liked by everyone with whom he has come in contact, Jack will have no trouble in acquiring new friends.
JOHN KEENAN LEONARD "Jack"
106 Linden Street
THOMAS JAMES LYNCH
"Thos"
College: Holy Cross
Entered 1943; Baseball 3,4; Glee Club 2,3,4.
Holyoke, Mass.
"Big Thos" Lynch was a quite lovable Irishman from Holyoke, the best of cities. Not an enemy in the world—his ultra-happy-go-lucky attitude made him a friend to everyone. Tom really tried hard to be a good student, but there were times when his love of fun superseded the grind; but somehow he survived the academic ordeals of the Senior year. He will be remembered as a devoted member of the Glee Club, where his presence was really felt. People like "Thos" add flavor to life.
64 Harvard Street Holyoke, Mass. College: Undecided
Entered 1945; Football 4; Dramatics 4; Glee Club 4.
Another worthy representative of the "Paper City" is Don McNaught from across the mountain. He is a quiet, unassuming fellow with a morbid proclivity for card-playing, and can usually be found in a "pitch" game in South Hall. Like most Holyoke boys, Mac is a good athlete. He did well in his chosen sports, football and hockey. The stage crew and the Glee Club have also made good use of his services. Don seems to have acquired the same jovial nature as other Holyoke boys, for his popularity has come as a result of his agreeable personality.
DONALD CLARK MCNAUGHT "Mac"
FRANCIS GARRETT MAHER
"Frannie"
199 Crescent Street
Northampton, Mass.
Entered 1945; Football 4(W); Basketball 4(W); Baseball 4; Glee Club 4.
One of the more rollicking members of the host from Hamp is Fran Maher, a humorist of distinction. Wherever Fran goes his smile is sure to follow, whether it's on a date, in the classroom, or on the athletic field; his ever-present briefcase is another distinguished trade mark. He is a very promising athlete, for he distinguished himself on the football field and then on the basketball court as a good team player. His many friends are a testimony that he is the type of boy you can't help liking.
211 May Street
BRUCE BUTTLER MARBLE "Marblehead"
College: Brown
Entered 1942; Dramatics 2,3,4; Glee Club 2,3,4.
Worcester, Mass.
Bruce's outfit, both summer and winter, was perhaps his most outstanding feature. His natty rider's clothes and old checked shirts placed him whenever he approached. Usually his face was decked out in a big grin, and his invariably affable greeting will long be remembered. A member of the Glee Club and Dramatic Club, he worked capably and well in both organizations. Most of the boys will remember Bruce as one who was seldom serious and was always out looking for the fun in life.
Peter Arnold Mensch in his two years at Williston has, like Samuel Johnson, become noted for his literary ability as well as for a certain tendency to "slothfulness and procrastination." Despite this characteristic he has become the envy of every boy in school, for he gets first honor marks without much semblance of grinding. In extra-curricular activities he has been seen in the Glee Club, as Vice-President of Adelphi, Copy Editor of the Willistonian, in the Dramatic Club, and as Literary Editor of this year's Log. He plans to enter Yale, and we wish him the best of luck.
Entered 1944; Football 4; Track 3,4; "Y" Cabinet 4; Student Council 4; Ring Committee 4.
Williston is certainly proud to have a mayor's son, and Neil has undoubtedly maintained a fine record for his family, doing well in his studies and participating in school life. His athletic activities consist of being a very fast and tricky back for varsity football, with a correspondingly good track record in the spring. His Student Council activities are characterized by bursts of "Hey youse guys, cut dat out or it's bounds" at irregular intervals. Neil is wont to take everything in his stride and thinks a lot before speaking. Here is to a swell fellow who should follow in his father's official footsteps.
20 Spring Street
Entered 1945.
RUDOLPH FRANCIS MUTTER, JR. "Rudy"
College: Massachusetts State
Easthampton, Mass.
Although Rudy was a day student this year, he succeeded in making himself part of the school life. He was by nature rather quiet and reserved, but his face always wore a warm smile for any and all. Because he was an Easthampton boy, he had a head start on the home town girls, and his success with the librarian was an example to the rest of the hopeful ones. Rudy was a great fellow to have around, and his easy humor made for convivial companionship.
"When it comes to royalty," said Disraeli, "one should lay it on with a trowel." In this case Joe deserves a steamshovel, for he is certainly a prince of a fellow. A four-year man, Joe has distinguished himself as Property Manager for the Dramatics Club and President of Adelphi; as Editor-in-Chief of this yearbook he has completed one more job well done. This irresistible force of North Hall is hard to get to know and understand, but when you break through this barrier you can see by his personality why he is and will be successful.
JOSEPH PETER PETRUZELO "Joe"
314 Court Street
Keene, N. H. College: Brown
Entered 1944; Track 3,4; Glee Club 3,4; Band 4.
Taking after his namesake,Roy went to work this year with a zest for building real authentic model airplanes. He was rather quiet and reserved, though liked by everyone, and he would often retire to work on his models. One of the few boys who showed an understanding of chemistry, Roy's interests also extended to music, and he proved himself a real asset to the band's trombone section. Although one of the quieter spirits on the New Campus,he nevertheless showed himself capable in school life.
ROY KINGSBURY PIPER "Roy"
39 Main Street
BARRY JAY PURRINGTON "Zip"
College: Undecided
Entered 1945; Skiing 4; Glee Club 4.
Haydenville, Mass.
"The boy from the North"—Haydenville, of course. Although he came from a small town, Barry had all the potentials of a city slicker, as is evidenced by the type of girls he escorted to the dances. Among his other capabilities, he was also a master of chemistry, maintaining the highest average and asking the hardest questions. He was never satisfied with an answer unless he knew it was correct—a good trait which many people lack. Popular among all his classmates, Barry has a great future ahead in Chemical Engineering.
BURTON ELLSWORTH RANDALL, jR. "Burt"
19 McKinley Avenue
Easthampton, Mass.
College: Amherst
Entered 1942; Soccer 4(W).
A first impression of Burt Randall would, in all probability, be a wrong one. Although he seldom forsakes his half-asleep expression and slow, precise gait, his consistent first-honor marks alone would seem to indicate that something must undoubtedly be stirring behind that deceptive, inscrutable mask. After a few years of persistent but unfruitful attempts, he won his letter in soccer for his work as an efficient defenseman. Admittedly one of the most placid and easy-going persons in school, Burt Randall has found how to get ahead by going slowly.
Glen Avenue
ARTHUR LEONARD REED "Art"
College: Undecided
Entered 1945; Hockey 4; Glee Club 4.
Norwalk, Conn.
An infallible method of finding Art Reed is to wander into an obscure corner and produce a package of cigarettes; as if by some personal magic Art will soon appear. Also ambitious in other fields—he daily spouts forth knowledge in English History class. Hard-working, able, clever, he makes a substantial contribution to any group. He is interested in sports, and was a member of the hockey team. Although only a one-year man at Williston, Art has been very successful, in his own quiet way, making a host of friends.
44 Ridgeway Street
ARTHUR WILLIAM SAUNDERS "Art"
College: Dartmouth
Entered 1945; Football 4; Basketball 4; Log 4.
Art was one of the group of sports enthusiasts which graced our campus this year. Though by no means a slouch at sports himself, his true avocation was following the trends, scores, and averages of the outside world of sports. He also will probably be remembered as one of the group to instigate the red cap splurge, which was so nobly aided and abetted by the rest of the school. Although here only one year, Art has surely taken with him and left behind him some very pleasant memories.

CONRAD MAX SCHIROKAUER
"Con"
Baltimore, Maryland College: Yale
Entered 1943; Soccer 4; Adelphi-Gamma Sigma 3,4, Vice-President 4; Debating Team 4; Willistonian 1,3,4, Assistant Copy Editor 4; Log 3,4, Managing Editor 4; Glee Club 1,3,4; Radio Club 3,4, President 4.
North Hall's brain trust is nearly as well-known for his intellectual prowess as for his perennial "Are you crrrazy?" "Connie" Schirokauer has long mystified Williston by his terrific capacity for honor marks; his good-natured grin is usually seen around a stack of books. The Log and the running of the Radio Club, coupled with his other activities, take up much of Conrad's time. His ambition to study philosophy will be furthered when he enters Yale, and we sincerely hope that his three years at Williston will give him a foothold on his many successful years to come.
SEARS
42 Church Street Ware, Mass. College: Dartmouth
Entered 1945; Willistonian 4; Log 4; Glee Club; Band 4.
At any conceivable hour of the day or night the casual visitor to North Hall might be smitten with the strains of anything from "Stardust" to "Walther's Prize Song"; no need for alarm, however—Bob let off some energy as the prize trumpeter in the band; he further exercised his lungs in the Glee Club. In athletics he was a "swishing" league-basketball player, which is high praise indeed. He plans on going to Dartmouth next year,and we wish him the best of luck in his work there.
ROBERT ALLEN
"Bob"
14 Congress Street
Entered 1945.
College: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Al Shaw is another vet who made good at Williston in the short time he was here. Although his athletic record was chiefly concerned with the swimming pool, his excellent high school work gave him a good basis for his good scholastic standing here. Since he was a day student, most of the boys knew him as a quiet, good-natured classmate who was liked by all.
A veteran of the Junior School and of four years at Williston is Bob Shaw, whose decided advancement has become more apparent year by year. Having gained experience on the business staffs of the Willistonian and the Log, Bob has his aim set at Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Finance, where he expects to take a business course. Bob is typified by his strong, deep laugh which follows him around the campus; he has a keen sense of humor which goes well wiih his even temper and easy disposition, all of which makes him one of the best-natured boys at Williston.
ROBERT MURRAY SHAW "Bob"

RICHARD SAVAGE STEWART "Harry"
College: Harvard
Entered 1945; Adelphi-Gamma Sigma 4; Debating Team 4; Glee Club 4.
A new type of spirit to pervade South Hall emanates from Sir R. Stewart, Esq., Williston's foremost proponent of the back-to-nature-by-Socialism idea. He is already very versant in politics; his ambition is to rise slowly but surely to political power. Without doubt the bestread boy in Williston, his avowed favorite sport is "putting the question," though he is readily inclined to supply the answer; his argumentative nature is brought out in the weekly Adelphi meetings. Truly a cynical but scintillant personality, "Harry" has a good time by wishing he were back in Cambridge with his accent. Weston, Mass.
Washington, D. C. College: Purdue
Entered 1940; Football 2,3,4, Co-Captain 4; Basketball 2,3; Track 2,3; Log 2,3; Glee Club 2; Dramatic Club 3,4; "Y" Cabinet 4; Student Council 4. On leave to Navy: 1943-1946.
One of Williston's most versatile and important all-around students, Van Cott was taken by the Navy in the second half of his Senior year in 1943. He had been elected captain of two teams and had an excellent chance of being the Best Athlete for that year. In addition, he was outstanding in other extra-curricular activities. This year he returned after three years in the Navy, and immediately joined the basketball squad. Van is liked by everyone in school; what we call in others "boisterous good nature" is magnified many times in him to good advantage.
WALDEMAR VAN COTT, II "Van"
Mount Carmel Avenue
Mount Carmel, Conn. College: Williams
Entered 1944; Football Manager 4; Willistonian 4; Log 4; Glee Club 3,4; Flag Committee 4.
A good-natured, sarcastic rebuff with a mordacious air of satisfaction is what one would ordinarily receive in a battle of words with Harry Webb. It was hard to put anything over on Harry, a boy well versed in fourth floor doctrines; he was often seen haranguing a group of idlers on one of his favorite topics—either the fundamentals of basketball or a comparison of the marking system of different teachers. His activities included Glee Club, Willistonian, and the Log. We are sure that a promising future awaits Harry at Williams.
DANIEL JOHN HARRY WEBB, JR. "Swisher"

An athlete, a participant in numerous extra-curricular activities, a casanova and an all-round good sport—these are some of the titles that describe Bob Werner. Captain of the soccer team and a letterman in basketball and baseball also, he has an executive position in the Student Council,"Y" Cabinet, Log, and participates in other school activities. Aside from this extensive schedule he somehow finds time for studying, two dates at a time, and for making himself liked by everyone. One of the most all-round popular boys on the campus, Bob has every reason to hope for the continuation of his good luck after leaving Williston.

College: Undecided
Jack Coogan came to Williston in the fall of 1945. His quiet nature did not cause him to be noticed to any great extent by the school at large, but to the boys who knew him, his tranquil outlook on life made him a much-appreciated friend. Being a day boy, he did not participate in extra-curricular activities to any extent. He is another boy who is probably best known for his car.
JOHN SHANNON COOGAN "Jack"
CHARLES PATRICK GLEASON, JR. "Jupe"
95 Washington Avenue
Northampton, Mass.
College: Undecided
Entered 1945; Football 4(W); Basketball 4(W); Baseball 4(W).
Northampton's gift to Williston, "Jupey" Gleason has been associated with excellence in athletics, in sportsmanship, and in all forms of school life. When this inspiring redhead entered Williston last fall, he was an immediate success on the football field, where he was the backbone of many plays, and also with his classmates, with whom he at once became deservedly popular. In addition to being one of our most outstanding basketball players, he has, by his incessantly cheerful countenance and nature, created a pleasant impression that will long remain in our minds.

RICHARD JOSEPH GOWDY "Pequetio"
College: Middlebury
Pittsfield, Mass.
Entered 1943; Soccer 4; Skiing 1,2,4; Adelphi-Gamma Sigma 4; Willistonian 4; Log 4; Glee Club 1; Radio Club 1.
Dick Gowdy has been characterized as the greatest bundle of compressed energy in Williston. For those who have tried to wake him at second bell, this may seem inconsistent, but it is obvious that all the extra power he gains by long sleep is expended on the ski slope, studying in the dormitory, and in varied amusements that one can find in Easthampton. Dick has also distinguished himself in Adelphi and on the business staffs of the two pub- lications. Always good for a laugh, "Pequeno" has supplied many happy moments in his life in North Hall.
274 Bridge Street
EDWARD CHESTER KOSSAKOSKI
College: Massachusetts State
Entered 1945; Football 4(W); Basketball Manager 4.
Northampton, Mass.
"Sock" Kossakoski was one of the most popular boys on the campus this last year. His pleasant manner and easy laugh endeared him to his many friends on the campus. He bolstered this head start by making himself a star in the football line and one of the best basketball managers we have ever had. The great kindheartedness and unfailing good humor which characterized him won him a host of friends on the campus and will undoubtedly secure his position in later life.
One of the many amazing features of Don's personality is his incredible aptitude for learning some of choicer Williston phrases and using them with reckless abandon. This no doubt is connected to his remarkable mentality; his marks have always been in the highest brackets, though Williston was his first experience with American prep schools. His varied interests include the Glee Club; he has been an excellent writer for both the Willistonian and the Log. When Don enters Harvard next year, the same qualities that made him so many friends here will surely give him a good start in college.
15 Beech Street
EDWARD JAMES O'BRIEN "Skitsie"
College: Undecided
Entered 1945; Football 4(W); Band 4.
Keene, N. H.
Most of the school had their first glimpse of Ed when a surprising small ball of fire tore through an opposing line, or when a fast kick exploded out of what seemed to be a muddled heap of bodies. After this forceful introduction to "Skitsie," Williston began seeing a lot of him. In other activities he confined himself mainly to the band, where his ringing trumpet bolstered that organization tremendously. By his quickly gained popularity he became an asset to campus life and contributed much to the school's interest.
10 Boylston Street

"My" Pacosa's claim to fame while at Williston is without a doubt the battered hulk which could usually be seen chugging dutifully around the campus. Being the owner of this relic which he tried to pass off as a car, he was inordinately proud of his possession, and his smiling face was parked almost continually behind the wheel. Liked by all who knew him, he was one of the more popular of the students from Easthampton.
After he came up from the Junior School as a little boy, Dick Showalter was first noticed for his outstanding athletic ability. This year he's a three-letter man in football, basketball, and baseball; he obtained these awards by his persistent and untiring effort, which he applies to everything he does. Dick is recognized as the kind of fellow who would help a friend even to the extent of giving him his best girl. His allergy to walking is typified by his "buggy" that transports many of the day boys. After Williston his next stop is the Army.
ALLYN SMITH "Smitty"
177 Belvidere Street Springfield, Mass. College: Dartmouth (Army)
Entered 1943; Football 2(W),4(W),Captain 4; Hockey 2,4(W); Track 2(W),4(W); Willistonian 4; Glee Club 2; Athletic Advisory Board 4.
Al has been a leading figure on the campus since his entering year, both for his outstanding athletic record and for those personal qualities which make leidership and true friendship. He was chosen to lead the football team in his second year, and carried this honor well from his guard position in spite of a broken hand. His achievements in hockey and track make him an all-around athlete. In addition to the Athletic Advisory Board he was also on the Willistonian and Glee Club. Whether "Smitty" goes to Dartmouth or the Army, he will find his popularity a great asset in whatever he does.
Senior Commitiee3
leing Committee
In any school which has a graduating class, it is traditional to choose and supply the Seniors with rings with possibly a design and the date of their graduation fixed upon it. This task falls to the Ring Committee. They have not only to pick the design of the rings and order them, but also they have to determine the correct finger size of every Senior who desires one.
-Wag Committee
The Flag Committee, each year, following a tradition of the Senior classes of this school, has the duty of purchasing a flag with the date of the graduation of that class upon it and presenting it to the school. This flag serves the purpose not only of leaving a permanent memory of the Senior class behind, but also gives very practical service at class reunions when such an appurtenance is not only welcome, but necessary.
gift Committee
Every graduating class at Williston since before the turn of the century has made it a point to leave a gift in the school as a token of their appreciation and as a memorial to that particular class. A Gift Committee is selected from among the Seniors to pick, order, and arrange for the presentation of the gift. In later years these gifts have usually been of a practical nature, intended to fill some gap in the school's present or future equipment.

5he Senior Prom
On Friday evening, May 10, the first formal Senior Promenade, with all of its traditional glory and splendor, was held in the Recreation Center for the pleasure of Senior Class in particular, but more generally all of the classes. For the first time since the war the Prom was held on a Friday night, which means that the affair extended over the period of a long week-end, during which numerous festivities were held, including an informal dance on Saturday night. As a result of the over-all proportions of this festive occasion, many couples attended and enjoyed the excellent dance music that was provided, as well as the refreshments. The Recreation Center was fittingly decorated with shrubbery and blue and gold ornamentations, which added a great deal to the effect produced by the low lighting and the passing of bright colored evening gowns.
The complete credit for the unparalleled success of this dance goes to the Prom Committee, who, under the capable direction of Mr. Granniss, planned and carried out all the arrangements for the occasion. If the glory and recognition of this small group of fellows comes and goes in one evening, they have seen all of their plans carried out successfully and should be completely satisfied, for they saw the results of their work completely enjoyed and appreciated by all who attended the dance. It was only through the efforts of the Prom Committee and their helpers, who put in many hours of hard labor, that the Prom was such a complete success.
5he Spirit ot-camtny — 1946
We are leaving this school to proceed ahead.
—From the fun of youth to the power of men. We take up the torch, to bear it high. It will never falter, never lower again. We have formed the power to understand, To correct all errors and support all truth. We are going to build a better world With what we've learned in our years of youth.
We've enjoyed the sports—the fun of playing. We've made friendships that will last thru life. We've discovered the pleasure of belonging to clubs, And we've found the way to vanquish strife. The power of kindness and honesty Is a spirit that'll lead us thru thick and thin. Well follow thru each task we start, For we've learned to finish what we begin.
We've sung our songs with added zest, We've cheered at games with gusto strong. We've been good sports ivith outside teams For we know that that spirit endures long. We've loved the form of august Mount Tom And the way it signifies strength and power. Well cherish and keep always the memory Of the stalwart, sturdy old gym tower.
We are going to discover and blaze new trails. We now are proceeding to enrich the earth. Wrong thoughts and ideas will vanish soon, Determination and progress will find new birth. The lives of the present and future men Will benefit from what we've learned and won. We now say farewell to the school we prize —To the good old school named Williston!

Ten years after the construction of Middle Hall, in March, 1857, a fire broke out in the original White Seminary, a wooden building which served for a dormitory and class rooms, and burned it to the ground. Since this structure and Middle Hall constituted the entire class and dormitory facilities, there was an immediate need for a new building to replace it. Thus, with an insurance of ten thousand dollars and some funds of his own, Mr. Williston had a brick building erected in 1858,the building now known as South Hall. In the original structure the Chapel was on the second floor; since then it has been moved to the ground floor, with faculty and class rooms in front. When built, the new hall had a study room for the young lady students on the second floor, the Delta Kappa Sigma Society room, and two recitation rooms. Classrooms have since taken the place of the young ladies' study hall, and the Adelphi room, which formerly was located in South Hall, has been moved to Middle along with the business and headmaster's offices which once occupied the ground floor.
South Hall still remains, however, all-important to Williston. Much of the school life centers there in the way of such extra-curricular activities as the Glee Club and Dramatic Club and the Band. South also houses the Alumni Office and the Chapel, the former a link between the school and the graduates,and the latter a tie between the old and new campuses. Lastly, South Hall is the home of about thirty boarding students. However small, this dormitory plays a prominent role in the prestige of the school.

North Hall was built in 1866 when, due to the increasing enrollment of students, it was necessary to build another building besides the two then existing buildings, Middle Hall and the old South Hall. It is situated on the right side of the old campus. The building is now chiefly used as a dormitory. There are altogether sixty-five rooms, accommodating more than sixty-five boys and five masters. Besides being a pure dormitory there are some rooms used for other purposes. A large room at the front of the first floor is assigned as a mathematics classroom. There is another room on the fourth floor used as a classroom for art courses and mechanical drawing class. For the use of its own members there is a common room on the first floor equipped with a sofa, armchairs, a piano, a ping-pong table, and other conveniences. The English room on the second floor has a large collection of both books of literature and reference. These books are donated by various teachers to benefit the interested students.

Many boys and parents idly glancing through a copy of some school yearbook do not realize how much time and effort are put into it by, usually, a small percentage of the pupils in the school. The "Log," each year, is put together by the senior class of Williston Academy,with the able aid of their faculty adviser, Earl N.Johnston. The staff was divided into five departments, literary, management, business, photography and art. The work of the literary department entails writing every word that is to appear in the finished product, not only the writeups of the Seniors, buildings, sports and other features, but also all the picture captions and incidentals which are so necessary to the success of a yearbook. The work of other departments is the actual setting up of the yearbook itself. They must supervise the taking and printing of all pictures, any art work needed, selection of material from the vast qualit); submitted, and then arrange all this in a pleasing and interesting format for the actual printing, with specific instructions for the printer and binder. It is their responsibility that the pages come in order, and that everything appears in the right place in the final version. The principal duty of the business department is the handling of any of the "Log" work concerning money. Under their jurisdiction comes arranging for the actual printing and binding of the book and the payment of the firms involved, contacting businesses and securing ads for the yearbook to help substantially in paying for it, and taking care of all the details of the orders for, and distribution of, the finished book. All of this work is coordinated and carried through with precision and alacrity by the editor-in-chief. This year Petruzelo has done an excellent job. What you are seeing now is the finished product of all this coordinated work. We sincerely hope you enjoy it.

with great success; more and better photographs were used extensively. In addition, whereas other staffs had been content with four-page issues, the profusion of six- and eight-page issues meant more work but resulted in a better-appreciated school paper.
This year the Willistonian joined the Columbia Scholastic Press Association after a decade's lapse of membership. The criticism received from that organization was helpful in improving the publication. This can best be shown by the honors that the Willistonian received at the C.S.P.A. convention in New York, which we attended during spring vacation. A written report of this may be found in the April issue of the Willistonian.

The Williston Bulletin is a comparatively new but important school publication which is issued four times each year. This publication, edited by Mr. Boardman, is eagerly read by over 3,000 alumni to whom it is regularly sent.
During the last war the Bulletin was largely devoted to keeping the boys overseas in touch with their classmates. This year it again has been effective as a means of liaison between the alumni and the school. Not only does this publication deal with alumni, but also it is the means by which the school keeps the alumni in touch with the building program. It has been of great assistance in this cause, and Mr.Boardman,as editor, deserves much of the credit.

When the "Y" Cabinet first originated, it was solely a religious organization, but for most of its span it has been the nucleus of most of the charitable work done by Williston as the school's chapter of the Y.M.C.A.During the past year the "Y" has canvassed the dormitories for old clothes and discarded books to send to a French school which Williston is supporting. In the early part of the year one may see a Cabinet member trudging through North, South, and Ford Halls in an endeavor to persuade the students to denote generously to the fund which is used to aid those who have been struck by tragedy.
Not all of this organization's work, however, is devoted to outside activities. At the beginning of the year it sponsors the "Y" reception. It also sponsors the athletic smokers and the school dances, and is responsible for the serving of cocoa after games. Besides these things the "Y" Cabinet supervises the cabin, to which many of the out-of-doors lovers journey on their free,days, and the Common Room, in which many students spend their free hours playing ping pong or reading.
The meeting place of the "Y" Cabinet is Mr. Granniss' room in North Hall, where the members may be seen every Sunday noon, discussing the possibility of a dance, who will serve cocoa after the next game, how much money has been given to some charitable organization, or some of its many other duties. Members of the Cabinet are: President Hepworth, Vice-President Call, Secretary Werner, E. Duncan, J. Keough, Coleburn, C. Moylan, Berkeley, and Brenner. The faculty advisor is Mr. Granniss, to whom much credit should be given for the great amount of time and energy that he devotes to the organization. Besides doing much work for the society he sees to it that the "Y" Cabinet is not all work and no play; he provides candy for the meetings and treats the members to a steak dinner earlier in the year, for which they are humbly grateful.
The work done by the "Y" Cabinet to help others is indeed a very commendable one and one for which many people are thankful.

The Dramatic Club was unusually fortunate this year in that much of last year's talent was•back, including such regular performers as Ken Coleburn,President Dave Hepworth,Ed Call,Gene Berman and Bill Hesse. A large turnout of new aspirants made Mr. Boardman quite hopeful for the season.
The three one-act plays which ended the fall term not only gave practice to the veterans, but also were the basis for an evaluation of the material available for the Spring three-act production. "Copy," a farcial melodrama about a newspaper office; "Submerged," a perennial heavy drama of a stranded submarine; and "Romeo and Juliet," consisting of some excerpts from that classic slightly altered by Mr. Boardman's modern
touch, supplied the bill of fare that was much enjoyed by the audience."Submerged" was under the direction of Mr.Curtiss,the new assistant director.
The Spring play in conjunction with Northampton School's "Mask and Wig Club," was "The Night of January Sixteenth," an ingenuous murder mystery, the action throughout the play being in the courtroom. The male stars were Coleburn and Hepworth in the roles of the D. A. and the defense attorney, Call as a gangster,Hesse taking the part of a Swedish ex-convict and Bernard, who starred in "Submerged," playing a financier. MacMackin, Burrows, MacElwee, Mensch, and Harris, all of whom were discovered in the fall plays, also turned in very commendable performances.

This year's Glee Club was extremely fortunate in its abundance of material, since a surprising number of new vocalists supplemented the big group of returning singers. Many new soloists entered at the beginning of the year and found high positions in the club.
After much practice and many changes and reductions in the club, the first concert given was the long-awaitedl performance at Southampton on the night of January 18. The muchappreciated presentation was varied by songs by the Glee Club, Double Quartet, and soloists, and trumpet solos by Bob Sears.
Two weeks later a similar program was presented to the army patients at the Leeds Hospital. Although the boys were unable to give this concert last year, the enthusiastic reception made the delay seem inconsequential. The following week the club entertained the Easthampton Women's Club. The Glee Club and Double Quartet songs were interspersed with trumpet solos and Mr. Hyde's clavichord. Welcome refreshments were served afterwards.
On Friday night, February 15, the Westfield Women's Club was the recipient of the Glee Club's fourth successful concert. The usual program was well received and appreciated.
This year's operetta was "The Mikado." Leading roles were taken by W.O'Brien, Ring, Rigney, and Andrews. The Double Quartet, standby of many concerts and composed of the best singers in the Club, contained Andrews, Rigney, W. O'Brien, Ring, H. Brown; Gruttemeyer, Dunham, and Barratt.

5he Band
The Williston Band under the direction of Mr. Hyde, has, during the past few years, risen to be one of the most interesting and popular organizations of the school. With several old players from last year forming the nucleus, a number of new players joined, and with a little practice and work, has become a very important factor in school spirit. The players returning from last year were Gordon Prochnow and Paul Brenner as clarinetists, Roy Piper and Fred Berkeley on trombones, and Dave Beach on the drums. The new members of the organization were Frank Cummings on the sax, Stuart Andrews and John Ring on trombones, Bob Ceely, Ed O'Brien, Don McNaught and Bob Sears on the trumpets and Bud Brown and Buzz Groden on the drums.
During the football season the Band played at Chapel rallies and at football games. The traditional football songs which were played added immensely to the team and school spirit.
Last year the band dissembled after the football season, but this year Mr. Hyde was able to carry on throughout the basketball season, during which they played at almost all the home games.
Much of the credit of these performances is due to the director Mr. Hyde who spent valuable time in arranging and organizing rehearsals. Because of Mr. Hyde's many other duties, he was unable to direct the Band during the baseball season.
Although the Band is a comparatively young organization, it has done exceptionally well and we are looking forward to having it as one of the leading organizations in the school life both in its value to the school and also for the pleasure and satisfaction the players derive from it.

The Student Council has long been one of the most important student offices in the school. Composed of boys elected by classmates, the Council seeks to keep the students aware of the rules and the regulations of the school, and in some cases punishments for infractions of the rules. The most important job of the Council is, however, that of serving as contact between students and teachers. The Thanksgiving vacation, the long weekend following mid-year examinations, and the hiring of the bus transporting the students to the games at other schools are conveniences that were secured because of the influence of the Student Council.
Besides these major occupations, the Council has responsibilities of less magnitude but great necessity, including keeping order in the milk line, the checking of beds in the dormitories, and the late checking of Seniors on Saturday nights.
To be elected to the Student Council is one of the highest honors a student can receive at Williston. The result, therefore, is that the Council, comprised as it is of the worthiest pupils in school, is one of the integral parts of the school's organization.

Adelphi's 1945-1946 season was marked by many changes and improvements in the society. Mr. Thomas returned to the school from the Army and took over his old position as the faculty adviser, replacing Mr. Granniss and Mr. Sterling, who had done a good job of keeping the meetings in order.
The most important new development this year, however, was the formation of a debating team for the first time in several years. This tearrkconsists of Stewart, Mensch, Schirokauer, and Berman. They had several debates planned with other schools; shortly after Spring Vacation a debate was staged against Mount Hermon on the topic,"Resolved: that Congress should approve of the proposed loan to Britain," and another was scheduled on the atomic bomb and world government. These debates contributed to the enlivening of the club; the tryout for the team added much to the interest and many new members at a time when enthusiasm seemed to be waning.
Another innovation was the buying of club pins by the members, a custom that will probably be continued in the future. All in all, this year has been a very successful one for Adelphi-Gamma Sigma. The officers for the first half-year—Petruzelo, Schirokauer, and Woodhouse—as well as their successors—Berman, Mensch, and Stolz—did a very commendable job, and are to be congratulated.

Radio at
In its third consecutive year of existence since its disbandment in 1935, the Radio Club of 1945-46 has expanded somewhat over last year in both membership and achievements. The club is under the able supervision of Mr. Babcock,the faculty adviser, who was instrumental in the rebirth of the organization two years ago and whose untiring interest and expert guidance have made this year's fine club possible.
Under the direction of Conrad Schirokauer, president of the club, and Charles Reid, the chief engineer, both veterans of last year's club, a carrier-current transmitter has been completed and put into use. Among the organization's notable achievements has been the repair of the Ford Hall radio. Looking into the future, the members of the club hope to be able to transmit to the dormitories when the necessary equipment is again readily available.
The club has changed its weekly meetings from Saturday morning to the more convenient hours of Sunday afternoon. The members study the entire field of radio, and from the knowledge thus acquired, they are enabled to construct some of the fundamental radio mechanisms. For those interested in this field the experience should prove invaluable in later life, as the increasing importance of radio in our daily life, combined with the almost unlimited opportunities for discoveries and improvements along this line, make the field alluring to the scientifically inclined person.

The Photography Club is an organization whose importance is often not fully recognized. The club supplies most of the pictorial work of both the school publications, the "Willistonian," and the "Log." It covers all aspects of school life, action shots of sports, campus scenes, and indoor portraits.
The members of the 1945-'46 club are Burdick, Dewhurst, Rockwell, Heylmun, and Sargent. The darkroom work, consisting mainly of printing, developing, and enlarging, is handled by Rockwell, Dewhurst, and Heylmun. The indoor photography is taken by Rockwell and Burdick, with the latter also responsible for all new campus work. Heylmun and Sargent account for many of the outdoor pictures with Dewhurst.
Some of the more important equipment of the Photography Club at present consists of an automatic contact printer and a new enlarger. The darkroom is as yet incomplete in all details, but under the able faculty supervision of Mr. Babcock many new devices are to be added. Among these are an improved enlarger complete with a masking platform and new developing tanks for special types of film.
At present there are not any officers in the club, but elections will be held shortly for both this year and the following. The club of 1945-'46 has considerably enlivened Willis. ton's student publications and is fast becoming one of the more important organizations.

After its inception in 1864 as one of the first and best-equipped preparatory school gymnasiums in the country, the old gym served the school faithfully and well for sixty-five years. In 1929, however, it became obvious that a more modern and thoroughly equipped building was not only a necessity for school athletics, but would also be of incalculable benefit to school life as a whole. The use of Sawyer Field for more than a quarter-century had established the necessity for an athletic building on the new campus; Mr. Sidney N. Morse pointed out the logic of constructing it there, for even at that early date there were thoughts of an eventual complete exodus to the new campus.
Accordingly, work was begun near the end of the school year in 1929. The Recreation Center as we know it today was completed in 1930 and opened for the use of the student body at that time.
The very generous contributions that made the building possible were responsible for its degree of perfection. In addition to having a very spacious wooden floor of excellent quality that is used alternately as a basketball court, auditorium, concert hall, dance floor, and theater, the Recreation Center has a good swimming pool, locker rooms, offices, art exhibition rooms, and reading or relaxation rooms. Its tremendous scope for activities is the main reason that the Recreation Center is so prominent in school life.

The Athletic Advisory Board is composed of four boys chosen by their respective dormitories and by the day students. These boys decide to whom the athletic awards should be given. The student members of the Athletic Advisory Board work in conjunction with four faculty members who are coaches of the major sports. The faculty members leave the decision to the students, but are present to voice an opinion The student members are chosen because they are outstanding in athletics.
At the close of each of the three seasons, the board fulfills its job capably, leaving in mind everything that would have an influence on the case. They also choose a manager for the teams of the following year.
Representing the faculty in this year's board are Coaches Lash, Babcock, Putnam, and Lossone. The student members are Al Smith from South Hall, Dick Hovey from Ford Hall, Bob Werner from North Hall, and Dave Hepworth representing the day students.

One of the most important organizations in the school is the Cheer Leaders. These boys are a select few who are exceptional in their ability to pep up morale. Ed Call, Bob Rouse, and John Plant have done a good job in arousing the spirit of the school with their snake dances, posters, and cheers. These three boys have worked hard and not in vain, for the coaches have more than once praised them for their contributions in creating spirit and determination.

FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
"The best football team I've coached since I came to Williston" said Coach Lash in one of his pep talks. This year's football team is indeed worthy of praise in spite of its rather mediocre record.
The first game of the year against Suffield Academy proved to be a detriment instead of an advantage; the reason being that it did not afford keen competition for the team. This lack of competition resulted in a heartbreaking loss to Wilbraham. In the following contest with Cranwell, Williston edged out their opponents by one touchdown, which was made by Hobey Gottlieb. Another feature of this game was a spectacular pass interception and runback of 60 yards by Red Gleason.
According to the newspapers the Blue and Gold was the underdog in the Classical High game, but with Hobey Gottlieb's fleet running and downfield blocking, Williston added another win, beating Classical with three touchdowns. Eddy Young and Johnny Ring on one side of the line and Dick Hovey and Dave Hepworth on the other made openings difficult for Springfield. Mulvaney's tackling and Jim Curran's end runs were starlight features; Grant MacMackin also played an exceptional game. In the backfield Jud Rigney did very well calling plays; moreover,Charley Gleason and Ed O'Brien gained yardage easily.
The Wildcats remained on the defensive throughout most of the badly lost Deerfield game. Deerfield took advantage of Williston's attitude and compiled a three-touchdown shutout. The last game was lost to Mt. Hermon. Ed O'Brien was the feature of this engagement, running fifteen yards on a pass and following that by another fifteen yards for a touchdown.
Al Smith, the captain, deserves much credit for his consistent playing and his ability to maintain unity among the team.Credit also goes to Hobey Gottlieb and Ed O'Brien, who won the Gold Football and Mills Kicking contest respectively. The "Log" wishes to extend best of luck to next year's team and Co-captains, Gleason and Rigney.

Soccer
Formed by coaches W.S. Babcock and R. McIntyre and led by Captain Bob Werner,the 1945 Williston soccer team turned in a final tally of two victories against four losses. The team started as a group of green individuals, but using the returning lettermen,Bob Werner and George Stolz, as a nucleus, and with the added support of talented players such as Norman Minty,"Hank" Ayala, and Ted Duncan,the squad improved continually through- out the season, a fact which nearly overshadows the poor record of wins and losses.
The season began with a victory over Monson, which, however, showed that the squad lacked experience and scoring power. The following game,the first game against Deerfield, showed a decided improvement in the team, for it worked as a unit. Donahue in the goal proved to be invaluable to the team,for he stopped all but one of the thirty-nine shots that the opposition peppered at him. Norman Minty played an unparalleled defensive game, tying up the bulk of the Deerfield offensive.
With the experience of the Deerfield game behind them, the squad faced Wilbraham. Again the team went down before a powerful and hard-fighting team. Wilbraham won the game in the last few seconds,following a break-through in our defense. The Wildcats regis- tered their second victory over Monson.Herb Beenhouwer and George Stolz paced the team to a victory, scoring one goal apiece. The discovery of Bill Roberts in this game proved valuable.
The Blue and Gold next faced the Deerfield team again. With the addition of "Hank" Ayala to the line, and with Ed Call playing unusually well in the half-back position, the squad outplayed the opposition during the first half. After an extremely hard-fought and skillfully-played game,during which the team reached the apex of its excellence, Williston was finally beaten. With a hopeful spirit the squad journeyed to Mount Hermon for their last game.
Bob Werner was high-scorer for the year, scoring two. The other goals were scored by Stolz, H. Beenhouwer, Minty, and Prochnow. The great deal of improvement shown by the squad is indeed a tribute to the coaches and the captain.
BASKETBALL SCHEDULE
For the second consecutive season the Williston basketball team compiled a very impres sive record, winning eleven of their twelve contests and amassing twenty-four successivf wins in two years.
Co-captains Showalter and Hepworth were the only returning members of last year's first team,but Bob Werner,from last year's squad,as well as Red Gleason,"Long John" Donahue, John Dignam, and many new boys formed the core of a winning combination.
Most of the games were fairly easy wins. Our quintet romped to almost uncontested cuccessive victories over Vermont Academy, Northampton High School and then defeated Kingswood School with no difficulty, 44-30. The lauet game was Kingswood's first defeat; John Donahue tossed in 21 points from his center position, and the entire second team was substituted in the second quarter.
Loomis next fell to the Lashmen by a substantial margin, the score being 22-3 at the half. The next game, our first game away from home, was an overwhelming victory over the Wilbraham five. In this encounter our second team again played to great advantage, and Donahue was again our high-scorer.
The first Deerfield game was very close—the first game in which we had any close competition. Williston surged ahead slightly to take a six-point lead at the half. In the third quarter we broadened our lead to thirteen points and then coasted to a 45-34 victory. Four days later another victory was chalked up against Monson Academy.
The second Deerfield game was probably the best of the season. The school cheered hoarsely as an exceedingly spirited contest unfolded between two determined teams. As the final period ended,Williston had beaten their rivals 45-41 in our closest game of the season.
It was four days after this triumph that our only defeat, to Kingswood, cut short a 24game winning streak. Two more victories followed this one-point loss w end the season.

The 1946 Williston hockey sextet terminated its season with one win, two ties, and three losses. The team had bad luck throughout, for though they did play Mt. Hermon and Deerfield, on the days scheduled for Cranwell and Wilbraham,squads of Williston's calibre, it rained, cancelling possible victories. The three losses went to Deerfield once and to Mt. Hermon twice. The first Hermon game was lost 7-0, and the second game 9-1. During these contests Williston fought with high mettle but was incapable to thwart the formidable attack of the Hermonites. The Deerfield game, played on very unpropitious ice, was lost 8-0.
The two ties Williston chalked up were against Holyoke twice 4-4, 3-3. In the first game Hobey Gottlieb scored two goals, Captain Hovey one, and Grant MacMackin one. In the second game Al Smith, Kip Chace, and Dick Hovey scored one apiece.
The last game of the season was won against Mass. State College, 4-2. During this game Williston finally hit her rightful stride, employing tricky plays and well-executed passes. Al Smith, Hovey, and Fred Berkeley secured the goals, Hovey being the highscorer with two.

The two most interest* developments of this year's skiing season were the construction of an excellent ski tow and the winning of some meets by a vastly improved team.
The ski tow was constructed by members of the team under Mr. Babcock, the coach, on the land that he has leased for the team's use. Several ski slopes and trails have been cleared by dint of arduous work, and the building of the ski tow did much to facilitate the pleasure and enjoyment of those runs. Bus transportation to the runs also helped the skiers to get more practice time.
The first meet was on February 2 against Mt. Hermon, our boys losing by the close score of 286-269. Gowdy, Rouse, and Curran placed high, and, although Hermon won every event, the races were close. Our team gained valuable experience.
The following week the team went to Eaglebrook. This meet consisted of a giant slalom race and a jumping contest. Eaglebrook, more familiar with the course took first place in slalom, but Smart, Gowdy, Rouse, and Lavallee captured the next four. Although most of the Williston candidates had not done much jumping before, we came out well and won the meet 17-13.
Our last meet was a triangular one with Deerfield and Eaglebrook which we lost to Deerfield by 6.5 points. Curran, Beach, Lavallee, Smart, and Elliot placed for Williston. Having achieved a successful season, the ski team made plans for a trip to Mt. Mansfield during the vacation.

Baseball was another sport which was spared any worries over lack of good material. Although many positions were shifted around, many of last year's best players were again on hand this season; they were supplemented by a copious amount of skilled ballplayers new to the school this year.
Because of this wealth of talent many positions were changed during the course of the season, but at the beginning the positions were Donahue as our capable first baseman; Werner or Rigney at second base; Maher, a fairly steady shortstop; Roberts or Backofen at third base, with Rigney alternating in various infield spots.
The battery was our main strong point; Dignam, a veteran league pitcher, was a tireless and accurate hurler. Any assistance necessary was ably supplied by relief pitchers Austin and Young. MacMackin and Reed were our two strong-armed catchers.
The fielding was well handled by Captain Hepworth, Showalter, and MacDonald.
After an inauspicious beginning with a heavy defeat, the Lashmen acquired some muchneeded practice and soon were winning their quota of games. Although the first few encounters were characterized by too many errors, this difficulty was soon relieved and the team went on to a successful season.

The tennis squad was more fortunate than many other teams inasmuch as there four top men of previous years and many improved second team players returning to the courts this year. From last year's first squad came Captain Langbehn, Coleburn, and Brenner, to turn in excellent performances in all matches; with them was Kip Chace, star of the Williston netmen a few years ago. Among the outstanding talent gleaned from new material and former second line were Blake, Call, Leonard, and Duncan.
Tennis coaching was greatly revised. In place of Mr. Burdick, the former first coach, Messrs. Doleva and Tompkins trained the boys. Mr. Doleva is a very capable instructor and player recently discharged from the Navy and now teaching at Springfield College; Mr. Tompkins, a seasoned player, offered too severe competition to our Summer School team. These two men were brought into the coaching staff for the first time, and certainly justified their selection by the high calibre team they turned out. Mr. Thorner, former second coach; helped improve the games of those who were anxious to play but were not, however, first string material.
The consistent good weather this Spring made possible the constant use of all twelve courts, and hence the team acquired much useful practice. The four courts on the Old Campus were conditioned and used by the non-varsity players.
The competition afforded by rival schools was on the whole more rigid than in other years, but due to the quality and quantity of material, practice, and coaching, the tennis team acquitted itself well.

Once again this Spring the call went out for boys desiring to join the track team. Many boys responded eagerly, and before long a track team was formed. Led by Hobey Gottlieb, the team fought throughout the season to carry on the standard of last year's undefeated squad.
At first there was a great deal of doubt as to who could qualify for a shot-putter, but Van Cott's return to the campus after mid-years solved the problem. He has been outstanding in that capacity as well as in running; Kennedy also proved to be a shot-putter of some merit. Smith again proved his versatility in the field and on the hurdles. Minty carried on his track ability and excelled in the half-mile and other races; Moylan also made himself valuable to the squad in that fashion. After much practice Gruttemeyer developed into an extraordinarily fine miler and distance runner. Stolz was one of many who excelled in the high jump.
This year the winter track team produced some boys who had not previously run for Williston. Kennedy proved to be one of the fleetest shorter-distance runners and a mainstay of the team. Foote, who had previously played baseball, came out for track this year and made a fine hurdler. Beach was or the winter track team when not skiing; he was another hurdler. Last but far from least was the team's versatile captain, Hobey Gottlieb. He tried every event in which there was a possibility of his doing well and made himself an outstanding competitor in all of them.
The credit for developing this fine track team goes to Coach Putnam and his two able assistants, Mr. Babcock and Mr. Hyde. Mr. Babcock coached the weight men, Mr. Hyde the distance runners, and Mr. Putnam handled all the rest.

Minor AthieticJ
There is in existence at Williston a most admirable system of minor athletics that few other schools or colleges can boast. This system consists of compulsory athletics for every student throughout the school year, with equipment being supplied by the school. These teams are all handled by expert coaches, and they all have their own schedules for games with other schools, which means that every student in school has an opportunity to take part in outside competition. There are numerous benefits derived from this system, for they offer students valuable training and experience in participating in athletic competition, provide healthful exercise, develop a sense of sportsmanship, and they develop future candidates for varsity teams.
Another sub-division of this policy of compulsory athletics for all is the exciting Inter. Dorm Competition, in which each student participates in his respective class in order to win points for his dormitory. The dormitory with the highest number of points wins the competition and a representative pennant. Thus, in the present system, every student has a chance to win valuable points, for students participate only against members of their own class, and each class is rated equally. For this reason a competitive feeling is established, for students realize that they always have a chance while striving against their equals.

The first Junior School building acquired was Payson Hall, which became the original home of that school in 1916. Since that time the building has been in constant use as a dormitory and dining hall. Recently, however, the Junior School purchased the Lynch estate, adjoining the present campus, which will serve as student quarters for about fifteen boys, thus Payson Hall will shortly cease to be a Junior School dormitory.
In 1928, a new dormitory, the Williston Cottage, became part of the institution. This new dormitory accommodating ten boys, formed the nucleus of the school's campus. In the following year, a new building, housing thirteen students, became Sawyer House in honor of the school's founder. Lately, both of these buildings have had remodeling and additions made to increase their capacity and efficiency.
In the thirties a small school house was built back of the Cottage in order to complete the grounds. The present campus is well situated on the top of a small hill set back from the street.

The Junior School,as a separate unit from the Upper School,takes on the important task of training younger boys for the Academy or other preparatory schools. The younger boys are under the supervision of Mr. Edward R. Clare and a competent faculty. They receive a well balanced education similar in its curriculum to that of the Academy.
The boys are taught a great variety of subjects, with emphasis placed on a practical but liberal education, which will aid the student both academically and socially. Besides the usual courses there are classes in music, drawing, manual training, and dancing. The Junior School develops each boy physically also. The
younger boy goes through the same body-building plan of the upper school, only on a smaller scale. The boys have competitions with other boys their own size and age. This develops sportsmanship as well as the body, which is essential in later years.
Since its founding in 1916, which was intended as an experiment started by Joseph Sawyer, the Junior School has expanded from twenty boys to the present enrollment of seventy. This experiment has entirely justified itself. It is now an excellent primary school, which supplies a firm foundation for future preparatory work.

During the early part of this century the number of students attending Williston increased until all available housing space had been utilized. In 1915 North Hall was fifty years old and South fifty-eight; the trustees and the headmaster, Dr. Joseph H.Sawyer, felt the need of a new dormitory.
A successful fund-raising campaign was instituted, and the raising of nearly $100,000 made it possible to begin work on the construction of a dormitory in 1915. The building took its name from Mr. John H. Ford, through whose philanthropy most of the funds was obtained. Thus Ford Hall, a modern residence for about fifty boys, was the first building to be erected on that portion of the Williston estate now called the new campus.
Now in the thirtieth year of use, Ford Hall is more modern than the other dormitories, its rooms more ornate, and the conveniently built-in dining hall is kept spotlessly clean under the austere eye of its matron. Joined to the building is the kitchen, the school infirmary, and living quarters for the Ford Hall house mother and the resident nurses.
Although it lacks the years of tradition that the other dormitories have, it nonetheless carries prestige with its fifty boarders and three masters. Center of the new campus and the building project, Ford Hall has more to be grateful for in the future than in the past.
