Each year the "Black Night" in Ivanhoe has been brought graphically to life, and interest in The Tale of Two Cities has been aroused by the magnificent description of London and Paris from one who has been there numerous times. As a Junior passes to his next year, he appreciates more and more the warm, living qualities that Mr. Lawrence Tucker Winship puts into English Literature and the excellent grammatical base that this same teacher has imparted to him.
Although "Winnie" has been advisor for our youngest class since he has been here, as well as teaching French for ten years and English for twenty-one, this distinguished faculty member has found time to be advisor of The Willistonian from 1926-1933, and The Log for 1927 and 1928, head of Ford Hall for several years, and to make twelve trips to Europe. Having crossed the Atlantic thirty-four times, Mr. Winship has not only enriched his own life but also those of his many admiring associates.
It is with the utmost pride that the Senior Class dedicates its yearbook to this outstanding member of Williston's faculty, and with regret says "good bye" to its true friend.

The school year, 1946-1947, has gone into history. It contained the reconstruction and replanning of a war-torn globe in which the older generation was correcting its errors, and the offspring were learning to create, with a mind led by determination, a world forever free from disastrous conflicts. We,the graduates of Williston, are now passing into that world.
The theme of this book is "Doors." Success is accomplished by passing through doors—the portals of progress. The world, and ourselves, are currently passing into problems with the American spirit predominate. Drawings of familiar doorways around the campus will introduce each divisional page.
This book is a humble effort to recapture the many memories now settling into the oblivion of the past. It is our hope to recreate the pleasures received from the many varied athletic contests, the laughs and the fun in the dorms, the interesting activities of the clubs, and especially the many friends made who have shared the enjoyment of campus life and who will remain comrades for a lifetime. We hope we have done all that; we have honestly tried.

William G. O'Brien, Jr.
To all of us there will come a period of retrospect filled with reminiscences of a swell fun-making fellow. The fellow will be Bill O'Brien; and the memories will be of his gay, easy play, heartfelt singing, and enthusiastic talk. He could not fail to make one and all his loyal friend and admirer. It is therefore to these many friends that his death makes even more vivid thoughts of Bill himself and of the qualities which put him out front. Bill, ever growing as he passed along, continually was willing to give to Williston not only all his talents and all his energies, but of greatest importance, his heart and spirit. Williston, having the facilities to use and foster this talent and having sensed his lively spirit, readily responded with its Glee Club, ''Y" Cabinet, and student body to let Bill's best qualities work both for himself and for the school. The best was given, and the best was received.
And so while we attempt to fill the gap, trying to create with others the deadened spark, there remain memories of good times and of a truly great fellow—things which cannot be taken away.

RICHARD M. AUSTIN "Dick"
Airport Road
Dudley,Mass.
Entered 1944; Student Council 4; Glee Club 4; Band 3; Football 3; Basketball 3; Baseball 3(W) •
Dick was a member of that "select" group of boys in North Hall known as the "Upper Four Hundred." He was not only an earnest student, but also a crack athlete, excelling as pitcher on the baseball team. Each semester he almost always managed to take both weekends, and it was said that he had a "lulu" of a time. On the basketball court, Dick played center with the "seconds" and proved to be a valuable point-getter. Because of his generosity and fun-loving nature, Dick was one of the most popular fellows on the campus.
26 Ward Street
Rockville,Conn.
Entered 1945; Soccer 3, 4(W), Baseball 3.
In his two years at Williston, Al has distinguished himself as both a hard-working student and a good athlete. He put his athletic ability to good use in the soccer field and the baseball diamond. To his closer friends, Al was known as "the boy with the Vaughan Monroe tones," and it was with pride that he gave them "free samples" of his golden technique. It was, however, in history class that Al excelled. With seemingly little or no effort at all, he would come out of a test in that subject with an eighty-five or ninety, much to his classmates' dismay. Because of his fun-loving spirit, he was always a good fellow to have around.
ALBERT H. BACKOFEN "Al"
ROBERT L. BAKER "Bake"
61 Norwood Terrace Holyoke,Mass.
Entered 1945; Dramatic Club 3; Glee Club 3, 4; Double Quartet 4; Band 4; Football 3;Soccer 4;Hockey 3, 4.
"Smile and the world smiles with you." When one associates with "Bake," these smiles often turn to laughter. From U. S. History class until bed at 10:15 (?), he continually amused his schoolmates and often upset a recitation period with a light and appropriate quip. A bundle of energy, his bouncing style of piano playing and his Cheshire grin have given rallies a necessarily humorous touch. Although small in body,Bob is great in spirit and determination as was shown by the way he came up with a smile whenever some huge opposing player checked him hard in a hockey game. Such a boy can not help being extremely popular, and "Bake" will always be remembered for his friendliness as well as his clowning.
Coming to Williston shortly after the beginning of the 1945 season, Tony quickly gained the friendship of everyone. His faith in Burnham School for Girls was utterly destroyed early in the year. He then turned to "stags," and he was sure to be the life of the party. An ardent card player,Tony was very often seen pondering over an involved game of bridge. He proved his athletic ability by earning his letter in soccer, a game which he had never played before. Truly a likable fellow, Tony is sure to distinguish himself as a good sport wherever he goes.
ANTHONY A. BARNETT "Tony".
KENNETH
H. BARRATT "Ken"
109 Johnson Street Naugatuck,Conn.
Entered 1944; Student Council 4, Secretary 4; Glee Club 2, 3,4, VicePresident 4; Double Quartet 3, 4; Log 4, Literary Editor 4; Class Secretary 4; Soccer 3, 4; Track 3.
What is a man worth? He is worth what he earns, and so the ceiling is off for Ken Barratr. With his quiet, modest manner; easy, sincere laugh; and ever-ready bundle of compressed energy; he has touched enviable fame by holding offices in many activities. Best even beyond this testification to Ken's ability and popularity, there is the friendly fellow who can always be seen hitting the ivories at something over 44 feet per second and pounding the track at about the same speed. After Williston, Ken will surely use his never failing "let's go" and modest manner to find much deserved success.
If Williston awarded a prize for the most clever punster, it would undoubtedly go to Beenie. Even during the most difficult and tedious occasions he never lost his sense of humor. He was often referred to as a "mathematical brain," having won or shared both algebra and geometry prizes. His knowledge of English grammar did not go unnoticed either, for after one year of work on the Willistonian, he was appointed Copy Editor. On the track, Beeny prided himself on being on a different level from other runners, for while they were trying to run a four-minute mile, he was trying to run a five-minute mile.
JOHN BELCK, II "Jack"
Goshen,Mass.
Entered 1944; Dramatic Club 4; Glee Club 3; Willistonian 2, 3, 4.
One of those few fellows with a quick wit, an almost inexhaustible vocabulary, and a sharp sense of humor, Jack is well-known for his hilarious puns and humorous musical concoctions. His witty personality did not go to waste, for he not only wrote some very amusing essays and poems for the Willistonian, but he also drew a host of cartoons for that publication during his three years. His portrayal of Caesar's wife in the Dramatic Club's first play was indeed authentic, save for the deep voice. Quite strongly opinionated, sometimes to the degree of a non-conformist, Jack stood as a bulwark against any form of socialism.
27 Girard Avenue
Hartford,Conn.
Entered 1945; Glee Club 3, 4; Double Quartet 3,4.
Harry is the type of fellow whom one enjoys having around. His pleasant smile and his polite manners are never absent. A member of the Double Quartet for two years and of the choruses of the Mikado and lolanthe, he distinguished himself as an excellent singer. His second tenor voice was also a valuable asset to the Glee Club. His annual birthday parties, during which a host of hungry Gold Coasters set about gorging themselves with soda, home-made cookies, and cake, will long be remembered and missed. With his jovial smile and politeness, he is sure to be popular wherever he goes.
HARRY H. BROWNE, JR. "Brownie"
LESTER L. BURDICK, JR.
"Les"
84 Richardson Road Belmont,Mass.
Entered 1943; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Willistonian 2, 3; Log 2, 3, 4; Adelphi-Gamma Sigma 1; Photography Club 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Track 3.
Every now and then, one meets an individual whose sheer determination to do better in a certain field shines far above the rather lackadaisical efforts of those about him. Four years ago, when Les came to Williston he entered Dramatics, a field unknown to him, and proceeded to strive diligently in order to improve himself. Always the first to learn his lines, always eager for suggestions, he performed more and more ably all the time until finally he took two leading roles in his senior year and handled them extremely well. Into his studies Lester puts the same effort, determined to get to college and ahead in life.
STEPHEN R. BURTT "Steve"
159 Brushmead
Hollidaysburg,Penna.
• Entered 1946; Football 4(W); Basketball 4.
Steve is one of those talented Willistonites who can make a host of friends without making a lot of noise. A very quiet, modest, hard-working person, Steve has proven himself to be a staunch upholder of the contention that "a still tongue shows the wise head."
As the football squad's placement kicker he was tops, and his classmates felt the same towards Steve himself. Although only a one-year man at Williston, Steve, in his own quiet way,has gained the warm admiration and respect of his friends,fellow students,and teachers.
GEORGE T. CHASE, III "Chasey" Patterson Road
Pawling,N.Y.
Entered 1943; U. S. Army 1945-46; Willistonian 2, 3; Log 2, 3; Photography Club 3.
George entered at mid-year after serving as a very well-liked M.P. in the service. He could be often heard comparing stories with "Frankie" on the "Battle of the P.X." or the "Skirmish at Fort Knox." Someone said he was good natured—when asleep; but truthfully he was noted for his jolly smile and his sparkling eyes. Often calling North Hall his "second home," this South Hall boy liked Payson food so much that he ate at Ling's. An enthusiastic man on the track, we all know he will also go places in later life.
117 Blackhall Street
New London,Conn.
Entered 1946; Football 4(W ).
"Thy modesty is a candle to thy merit." Walt is surely an example of this maxim As left tackle on the football team, he thwarted many an opponent's attempt at yardage. In spite of his excellent athletic prowess, Walt still remained quiet, reserved, and modest. This quietness, however, did not keep Walt from joining in the fun. His pet ego was to take part in a wild bull session. Off the athletic field he was a most unassuming and goodnatured fellow,and judging from his activities here, Walt should have no trouble in college sports and campus life.
WALTER H. CLEMENS 'Walt"
FRANK CUMMINGS "Frank"
39 South Drive Great Neck,N.Y.
Entered 1945; Glee Club 3, 4; Band 3, 4; Tennis 3.
Hailing from "Long Guiland," Frank was probably the most argumentive person in the Senior Class. His arguments, however, were usually backed up by clear facts, although at times they were inclined to be a trifle prejudiced. Aside from this propensity to discussion, Frank augmented the school band with his tenor sax and the Glee Club with his tenor voice. At one time during the year, the boys working with him in Chem Lab felt.dizzy. When they questioned him as to what experiment he was doing, he innocently replied, "Chlorine." We hope he can continue successfully on his way to college.
A. CZELUSNIAK
48 Franklin Street
Easthampton,Mass.
Entered 1942; U. S. Army 1943-46; Class President 4; Football 3(W), 4(W); Basketball 3(W), 4(W); Baseball 3(W).
Another "old boy" who returned to Williston after going into the service before graduation,"Buddy" came back to a greater degree of popularity, more athletic glory, and the Presidency of the Senior Class. Modesty being one of his noblest virtues, he was pleasantly surprised upon receiving the aforementioned honor and equally thankful to be so warmly congratulated by so many on his marriage in February. His steadiness was observed by the entire student body when he showed great calm as quarterback on the football team and dependable work as guard on the basketball five as well as at second base on the '43 baseball squad. An average student as well as a good athlete, "Buddy" is one of those rare all-around individuals who can be serious and popular at the same time.
WALTER
"Buddy"
FREDERIC V. D. DEDERICK, JR.
"Fred"
39 Blake Street
Keen;N.H.
Entered 1943; U. S. Navy 1944-46; Student Council 4; Dramatic Club 3; Willistonian 3, 4, Business Manager 4; Log 3; Track 3, 4.
Underneath his dry New Hampshire humor Fred hides a vein of seriousness that seldom is noticed by any but his most intimate friends. His unceasing effort in his studies has brought respect from students and faculty alike; yet he finds time enough for play, to which a local girl's school will testify. Extremely popular around the campus and welcome to many a gathering, this President of the "Upper 400" has often livened dull classroom discussions and sagging bull sessions with an appropriate, clever, and humorous quip. Returning to Williston after leaving to serve in the Navy as a pharmacist's mate, he has continued as a medical man, being a morale booster first class.
53 Taylor Avenue
Brockton, Mass.
Entered 1946; Football 4(W),Captain 4.
A gleaming, friendly smile eminated from Mario Di Marzo's countenance at any and all times. He was well known around Sammy's campus, not only for his athletic prowess, but also for his commendable scholarship; he was not, howevera grind. Mario knew well how to intermingle sports and school work with a perfect balance. "D's" popularity with his fellow football players showed up when they elected him captain for the 1946 season. Now,as the day when Mario will leave these hallowed portals draws near, his class mates feel sure that he will succeed, for he has that unyielding spirit necessary for worldly success.
One of Easthampton's noteworthy contributions to the Williston World of Sports, "Long John," in his two years on Sammy's campus, was never lacking in his good-natured disposition, and was always on hand to add life to any group whether it was in class or on the athletic fields. Putting his lanky frame to good use, "Long John" garnered six W's in two years by starring in three sports. The many friends he won during his stay on the campus are a testimony that he is the type of boy one cannot help liking whether one be a classmate, team-mate, or athletic opponent.
South Hall's genial Ted Duncan is one of those fellows with a sparkling personality who cannot help but be liked by all. Sportsmanship has guided Ted in his three years at Williston in every activity in which he has participated from Galbraith Field to the Glee Club. His appreciative classmates have elected him to numerous posts, and by his own characteristic loyalty and perseverance Ted has gained many more as indicated by his statistics. Ted's overwhelming popularity stems from his innermost nature—his sincere cordiality and his ever-present modesty. After three years such as he has spent here, Ted Duncan is sure to go on as successfully as ever.
GREGORY S. EATON "Pico"
16 Cedar Lane Way Boston,Mass.
Entered 1941; U. S. Navy 1944-46; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3,, 4; Willistonian 1, 2,3,4; Log 1,2,3,4; AdelphiGamma Sigma 2, 3, 4, President 3, 4; Cheerleaders 3; Football 4; Basketball 3; Baseball 3.
After leaving Williston in order to serve a term in the Navy, Greg returned to school and launched forth from where he left off. He was able to embark into school life as he had done previously, leading the Adelphi, participating with the Dramatic Club, and generally making life pleasant for those around him. Pico, as many called him, always held a joke or pun ready not only one at a time, but a continuous stream of them. Some students only knew him as an orator, but that was enough to show them how clever, witty and, above all, consciencious Greg was. His platform manner,free and relaxed, at once drew him into the student's favor. When he goes on to study speaking as he has planned, Greg will not falter, because he has always finished well what he once began.
WILLIAM S. ELLSWORTH "Bill"
Massaco Street
Simsbury,Conn.
Entered 1943; Log 4; Football Manager 4(W).
If there was anyone in the Senior Class who could be called "a friend of the human race," it is Bill. He was ready at all times to help his friends in anyway he could. During his second year, he took over as laundry agent at Ford, and later this enterprise came to be known as "Ike Ellsworth's laundry business." He was an excellent skier and took part in several meets in the slolam and downhill events. Anyone passing his door might hear a heated discussion about cars of the day, and undoubtedly he would have been challenging someone to a race, his choice being either a Chrysler or a DeSoto. Bill has the qualities of a true friend, and in exercising them to full advantage, he has become as popular as he truly deserves.
DAVID B. FENN "Dave"
1394 Highland Avenue Rochester,N.Y.
Entered 1946; Glee Club 4.
A broad smile, an unusually humorous pun, and an imitation of Red Skelton accompanied Dave wherever he went. Though this was Dave's only year at Williston, his goodnaturedness nevertheless acquired him a•multitude of friends. He was a strong second bass with the Glee Club, which probably explains why he was never able to reach those high notes in a chapel hymn. In the academic field, Dave's main interest was with the sciences. Planning to enter Harvard upon his completion of work at school, he will undoubtedly do well in furthering these interests, for when there is a will, there is a way.
In four years at Williston, Lew exhibited many outstanding qualities of character, not the least of which was loyalty. Loyal to his school, he participated in numerous extra-curricular activities, never shirked a single duty, and diligently applied himself to his work.
An immaculate dresser, Lew could always be seen slowly tearing between classes with his loud ties fluttering in the breeze. Matter-of-fact Lew will also be remembered for his thoroughness in his studies and the dogged perseverance with which he set about on all his tasks, whether they were merely articles for the Willistonian or a position in a soccer game.
PAUL V. GABEL
"Pablo"
201 Beakspear Road
Syracuse,N.Y.
Entered 1946; Glee Club 4; Radio Club 4.
When "Pablo" was not doing anything else, he was usually found pestering his friends for a date. As "Clark" Gabel under the hockey coach ("check back and skate hard"), he acted as an efficient manager for the varsity hockey team after the fall season's hearty try at Canary football. He was also a member of the exclusive "cookie-factory" radio club whose motto was "North Hall or bust." All in all, Paul was an extremely likeable fellow with whom it was a pleasure to be at all times. He will surely be remembered by all who know him for his humor and eheery smile.
96 Glendale Street
Easthampton,Mass.
Entered 1946; Football 4(W); Basketball 4.
Here is a boy "trained for either camp or court, skillful in each manly sport." Noted around the campus for his love of sports,"Tony" is widely known for his "easy-go" manner. Considered one of the best players on the town's high school team last year, "Tony" brought with him great ability to our "Wildcat Five" in the form of swiftness and agility. He has shown the campus how a local boy can'make good, and we all hope he will go forward into life with the same perseverance and determination.
ANTHONY S. GOLAS "Tony"
JEFFREY A. GORE
"Jeff" Box 155
Granby,Col.
Entered 1944; Glee Club 2; Track 3.
Moving just recently to Colorado, Jeff has not acquired as yet the accustomed drawl of the West. He has, however, a great many interesting stories to tell of his experiences in that state, in spite of the fact that he has actually only lived there two or three months. He is probably best known for his almost inexhaustible supply of jokes. A climax arrived one day at track practice when someone promised him a pack of Chesterfields if he won his race. Because of his jovial personality, Jeff is always sure to be accompanied by laughter and fun.
RICHARD J. GOWDY "Gowds"
178 Holmes Road
Pittsfield, Mass.
Entered 1943; Glee Club 1; Willistonian 3,4; Log 3,4, Associate Business Manager 4; Adelphi-Gamma Sigma 3; Radio Club 1.
"Gee, who's that good-looking little kid?" Dick Gowdy, that is who he is.'Unfortunately, or fortunately, "Gowds" has a face that makes him seem, on the first meeting, much younger than he is; but, in reality, it hides a rather mischievous but personable young man. Popular and easy-going without a noticeable care in the world, Pittsfield's gift to the three W's (Williston, world, and women) is always seen with a friendly grin and never seems to get discouraged, no matter what happens. It is this trait which we often call guts that will always keep Dick on the top of one's admiration and friendly list.
DAVID B. HALL
"Dave"
41 Thornton Park Winthrop,Mass.
Entered 1943; Dramatic Club 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3,4; Double Quartet 4; Willistonian 3, 4; Log 3, 4, Art Editor 4; Radio Club 1, 2, 3,4; Soccer 4.
Dave took his four years in stride without making much ado about it. Because of this seemingly reserved manner,few in school knew of the delightful humor which he possesses. Perhaps his Willistonian cartoons and his sparkling vibrance during the Double Quartet selections help reveal some of Dave's "inner-self." His gifted appreciation of art, and his skill at it, are not to pass unnoticed. Dave had taken a strong hold in Williston life before his graduation, and judging from his activities here he should have no trouble in college work and campus life.
55 West Street
Northampton,Mass.
Entered 1945; Dramatic Club 3; Glee Club 4; Willistonian 4.
Hard-working Thad is one of the more intellectual members of the student body. In both of his school years he possessed a dogged determination to do any assigned task thoroughly. Such determination will help him to make his mark at Haverford or any other college of his choice. Noted for his ability to perform his feat of writing Willistonian book reviews for those bored with writing their own, and to send his French class into convulsions by his "they-must-be-planned-that-way" translations, Thad was the campus "wonderboy." Those who were in The Atomic Energy will never forget the perplexing questions which Thad constantly offered prior to tests in which he batted constant eighties.
A big, friendly boy, Dick is another one who is loyal to his many comrades and trustworthy in any responsibility given to him. As he has been captain of the hockey team two years in a row, one can see that he is respected as a leader also. Determined to be an end on the football team last season,Dick worked hard on the fundamentals of this position, new to him, until he became the most dependable offensive and defensive wingman. As he has the inherent quality of making friends easily, Dick will never have to worry overly much if 01 Man Trouble comes around.
RICHARD S. HOWLAND "Dick"
Entered 1945; Soccer 3(W ),4(W ).
From the Southland a few miles below Williston has come Dick Howland every day for the past two years in that vehicle he affectionately calls a car. Dick's easy-going manner has given him the ability to take things as they come—which he does, whether they be math classes or soccer balls. Dick is an airplane enthusiast, but the way he soars down Mt. Tom on a pair of Hickories indicates that he still has his feet on the ground. He has won himself a place in the French class as consultant on every kind of engine known to French authors.
RAYMOND B. JONES "Ray"
Route 1,Box 984
Tucson,Ariz.
Entered 1946; Dramatic Club 4; Glee Club 4; Willistonian 4; Radio Club 4; Hockey 4.
One of our "foreign" students from Toronto, Canada, Ray has shown himself to be one of the better students during the year. His job as a custodian of the South Hall common room (Room No. 1) occupied much of his time. When he was not sweeping out the dirt and the "Ya gotta Butt?" boys, he found time to lend his excellent voice to the Glee Club and play for the Canary Hockey and football teams. Already accepted to Amherst next fall, he will, we are sure, prove himself the friendly, intelligent, witty fellow he showed himself to be in his year at Williston.
48 Crandall Street
Adams,Mass.
Entered 1943; Dramatic Club 4; Adelphi-Gamma Sigma 1.
Doug is one of those fellows who is always joking. Besides being able to use his witty personality, they tell us he has a peculiar alertness for making flashing cartoons. In the realm of sports Doug has distinguished himself as a member of the famous "Un-coordinated five" and as an excellent skier. Although the bounds list testified quite often to the fact that Doug was always in the thick of the fun, he could be found diligently at work in between lights out and card games. He had a keen sense of humor which went well with his even temper and easy disposition, all of which made him one of the best-natured boys at Williston.
If the seniors were to tag each member with a title, Jack "Oo-Mah" Keough would undoubtedly be "The Lover." Jack, in his three years at Williston, has proved himself quite versatile in picking "his women." His title of "The Manager" stems from the fact that he likes to be in,or help out with,all school activities. Those who attended the Student Council dance will remember Jack's valiant efforts in its behalf. Through these actions, he showed two of his best qualities, those of perserverance and well-meant enthusiasm. "Oo-Mah' combined these extra-curricular activities with others, such as the "Y" Cabinet and the "Upper 400." Jack Keough was well liked around the school, and those who knew him well realize that he has the mettle of which Williston men are made.
WILLIAM F. KRUSELL "Bill"
19 Gilbert Street North Brookfield, Mass.
Entered 1945; Dramatic Club 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Willistonian 4; Log 4; Student Federalists 4; Radio Club 3, 4, President 4.
Bill is a staunch advocate of the time worn theory that "if a thing will not work, then fix it,- and seldom has anything been able to stump him. With a sound knowledge of both radio and electricity among his accomplishments, he has been able to lead the Radio Club for two years. Though he has an appearance of quietness about him, his friends know how thin this appearance really is. Bill has always been ready and willing to start on some new scheme and has worked in almost evsrything from studying handwriting to manufacturing candy. When he enters Amherst and continues studying with his hobby of radio, Bill will go far if the same calm determination he has shown at school prevails with him.
HORACE E. LAPRADE "Frenchy"
1 Pomeroy Place
Easthampton,Mass.
Entered 1946; Band 4; Soccer 4(W); Hockey 4.
Although only a day student, Horace in his one year at school succeeded in making himself an integral part of Williston. A humorist of distinction, he could always be called upon to add subtle witticisms to a class discussion. It is said that patience can compass anything, and Horace certainly had patience. Everything he did was done with calm determination. His soccer playing and outstanding team spirit characterized him in all his efforts. The numerous friend he has made off and on the campus present a fitting indication of his ability to be sincere at all times and to proceed "wisely and slowly, for they stumble that run fast."
WARREN E. LINDBERG "Lindy"
32 Howard Street
Arlington,Mass.
Entered 1945; Dramatic Club 3, 4, Chief Electrician 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Band 3, 4; Senior Prom Committee 4; Football 3; Track 3.
As the headwaiter of Payson Hall Lindy was a conscientious worker, as a student he was a steady struggler, and as a friend he was a fun-loving, likeable boy. Lindy had a great task cut out for him when he tried to be the headwaiter of the school and a popular student at the same time. However, with the aid of his beaming smile and a slight blush every student immediately became attached to him. On the athletic fields he had as much fighting spirit as the best players. Particularly noticeable were his accomplishments on the track, for he developed into a very fast and valuable runner. Quite active in the Dramatic Club and an essential part of the Glee Club, Lindy lent his talents readily to both. Let us hope that future schooling will be as eventful for Lindy as his two years at Williston have been.
HOWARD A. LOGAN
"Howie"
60 Sherwood Road
New Britain,Conn.
Entered 1945; Dramatic Club 3; Glee Club 3, 4; Willistonian 3, 4, Executive Editor 4; Log 3,4, Editorin-Chief 4; Adelphi-Gamma Sigma 3; Student Federalists 4; Ring Cornmittee 4.
Howie's well-deserved claim to fame stems from his innate ability to take an intensely active part in everything he undertakes and to treat those about him with sincere cordiality. These desirable traits have not gone unnoticed by his classmates who have entrusted him with several responsible positions, not the least of which was the Editorship of the Log. This position coupled with an editorship on the Willistonian gave his roommate and corridor neighbors a good excuse for having insomnia, as the machine gun-like noise of his faithful typewriter chattered on into the wee hours of the morning. This poet's winning personality and undying loyalty to his friends and school make him one of Williston's best.
38 Sequams Lane
Babylon,L. I., N.Y.
Entered 1945; Student Council 4; Dramatic Club 3,4; Gift Committee 4; Football 3, 4; Track 3.
During the past two years many a late-arriving teacher has found his class room in extraordinarily good humor. A few minutes before the arrival "Mac," no doubt, was cleverly, amusingly, but never maliciously, taking his place and depicting the faculty member's mild eccentricities."All the world's a stage."—and this actor loves to mimic his fellow players— picking out the weaknesses and good-naturedly emphazing them in such a way that even the one characterized is amused. Thanks to his beautiful ocean scenes, his great talent with water colors is well appreciated by those that have seen the results. Quiet, popular, and sincere,''Mac" has that finess of character that will keep him surrounded by loyal friends and trusted by associates throughout his life.
"Gosh, I wish that bell would ring" was the remark of many a boy toward the end of a sagging or difficult class session. The bell would ring but always on time, never early, never late. This same admirable quality has been shown by Bayley's prompt and excellent work in his studies as well as in his many extra-curricular activities. Plunging wholeheartedly into every task that he undertakes, he is a welcome asset to any organization of which he becomes a member, for he is loyal to his duties. Bay has often said, "I'll do it myself," instead of giving a difficult job to one of his associates. As a result, he is respected and trusted by faculty and students alike.
NORMAN A. MINTY "Nuzzle"
Southern Foreshore Belize, British Honduras
Entered 1943; Class President 1; Student Council 3, 4, President 4; Glee Club 4; Adelphi-Gamma Sigma 4, Secretary 4; Student Federalists 4, Secretary 4; Soccer 3(W), 4(W),Co-Captain 4; Track 2(W), 3(W),4(W), Captain 4.
If one were to look for the best boy to represent the school at some conference or meeting,"Norm" probably would be the choice. His election to the Student Council presidency attests to that fact. A good athlete, average student, and one who is intensely loyal to the school and all it stands for, he has gained the respect not only of the faculty and the student body, but also of the other schools that have met him on the playing fields and in mutual conferences. Norman is a good leader, on whom those who elected him can always depend and who has that quality of sportsmanship that has always been an excellent example for his teammates. Although he is rather reserved, "Nuzzie" is a loyal friend and true comrade; and his perservering adherence to his just and honest principles is an admirable quality that will always command respect and trust.
JUDD D. MOTT "Judd"
303 Ridgewood Road West Hartford,Conn.
Entered 1943; Dramatic Club 3, 4, Assistant Stage Manager 4; Willistonian 2, 3, 4, Assistant Business Manager 3, Business Manager 4; Log 3, 4, Associate Business Manager 4; Soccer 1, 2, 3.
Judd, in his four years at Williston, although not a public image, has made a small group of fast friends. To those who know him less, his many escapades have been a source of secret delight and awesome respect. His friends remember him best for his fantastic wit, his loyalty, and his steady companionship. Others have noticed him as a natty dresser, and a denizen of Herb Lang's. Soft-spoken Judd was also quite adept at playing the role of business man on Mr. Johnson's two publications. Hard working and dependable, he could be trusted to carry through thoroughly any work which came to him.
196 Hawthorne Road
Braintree,Mass.
Entered 1946; Dramatic Club 4; Football 4(W); Hockey 4(W).
Although Jack does not live on the campus, he is well-known, especially for his excellent taste in clothes and the neat way that he wears them. Although quiet, he has a delicate sense of humor as can be noticed by the friendly smile that flickers around the corners of his mouth. His classmates and teachers have noticed a sincerity about him,a fact which gives to him a deserved respect and added dignity. For his size, Jack is one of the best all-around athletes in school this year. After playing ably every position at one time or the other in the line of the football team, he further proved his worth as an excellent goalie in hockey. To all, he is generous and willing to do even the smallest favor if it will convenience the handicapped one.
1 A0 Zag
JOHN H. MOYE "Jack"
JOHN D. PLANT, JR.
"Rosebud"
46 Oliver Road
New Haven,Conn.
Entered 1944; Student Council 3, 4, Vice-President 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Willistonian 2, 3,4, Assistant Sports Editor 3, Sports Editor 4; Log 3, 4; Cheerleaders 3,4, Head Cheerleader 4; Ring Committee 4; Soccer 4; Basketball 2; Tennis 3.
If there is anything in the proverb that,"A light heart lives long," then Johnny is sure to live to a ripe old age. As Head Cheerleader, he used his humor to good advantage. One Saturday morning as the cheering was suffering a lull, he cried out,"Aw c'mon fellaz!" He was an extremely competent sports writer and wrote the Sports Notes column for the Willistonian and several write-ups for this yearbook. Whenever "Rose Bud" entered a room, there seemed to be more light, which was probably due to those perennial "white" pants that he wore. Johnny will undoubtedly have a future true to his style.
JOHN H. RING "Johnie"
163 Hillside Avenue Arlington,Mass.
Entered 1945; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Glee Club 3, 4, Manager 4; Double Quartet 3,4; Willistonian 4; Log 4; Photography Editor 4; AdelphiGamma Sigma 3, 4, Secretary 4; Band 3, 4; Gift Committee 4; Football 3(W), 4(W); Hockey 3, 4(W); Track 3(W).
Williston's answer to the Sinatra craze is Johnny Ring, another of the good-looking Seniors from South Hall. John, as a Glee Club soloist, wooed many a young girl by proxy as he sang before the numerous and varied crowds of Glee Club fans. Many were the Saturday nights when he could be seen on the Burnham dance floor. His two "W's" are standing proof of his football ability and prowess. His classmates will long remember him as Marc Anthony in the Julius Caesar production. Johnny, who could be truly summed up as "versatile," was and will continue to be a good friend and a definite asset to one's list of classmates.
GORDON S. ROSS
"Skinny"
55 Litchfield Avenue
Rutland,Vt.
Entered 1945; Student Council 4; Honor Board 4; Glee Club 4; Willistonian 4, Assistant Business Manager 4; Basketball 4; Tennis 3.
Evidently Rutland, Vt., was not content with showing off only one of its sons, so it sent a very welcome double present. "Gordy," one half of "Ross and Ross" has easily kept up his part of the bargain by not only doing well in his studies and fully participating in .school life, but by becoming, in the minds of all his fellows, an indispensable requisite for life on Sammy's campus. With modesty and high purpose as a key to his many positions in school life, Gordy has always continued, despite even such things as fame on the basketball court, to be an easily-knowable fellow. There can be no doubt that wherever Gordy may go in life, he will make for himself an enviable record.
JAMES D. ROSS
55 Litchfield Avenue Rutland,Vt.
Entered 1945;"Y"Cabinet 4; Honor Board 4; Glee Club 4; Class Secretary 4; Flag Committee 4; Basketball 3(W),4(W).
Vermont really gave Sammy a welcome present when it sent Jim Ross. One of Ford's terrific triumvirate of Ross, Baker,and Ross, he always provides his own share of the smiles and friendship generated by that combine. They tell us that sometime when Jim's mail from the "upper five" element hits the six per day rate, he modestly requests that fan to cut it maybe to only five. Some of the popularity can be traced to Jim's operation as forward on Williston's famous Wildcats, but still more of it is directly due to a very sincere nature. Wherever he may go, there can be no doubt that there will always be.welcome room for Jim Ross.
"Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance" is a phrase applicable to Bob. His four years have been plentiful with scholastic and academic promise. A prodigious scholar, he made for himself an excellent record through sheer determination to be one step ahead of his studies. In fact, in many classes he would spout forth the answers before his instructors. This same perseverance he carried to the athletic fields where he made steady performances in soccer and to the mountain slopes where he shusshed down the hill. Bob also possesses an unfailing generosity and would Willingly carry out any job assigned him as capably as he helped administer the Dodge Room library:Never one to be spectacular Bob is the type of fellow always ready to lend,a helping hand.
330 Nehoiden Street
Needham,Mass.
Entered 1946; Glee Club 4; Hockey 4(W).
Although this was Shep's first year at Williston, he showed up both as an honor student and a good,clean athlete. As a member of the forward line on the hockey rink, he proved to be a valuable scorer in spite of his small size. Photography held another interest for him, in which he was particularly talented. He was a member of the Glee Club and was an excellent piano player. Bob came to Williston to prepare himself more efficiently for college, and he has completed another job well done.
ROBERT H. SHEPHERDSON "Shep"
EDWIN C. SHUTTLEWORTH,jR.
317 Guy Park Avenue
Amsterdam,N.Y.
Entered 1945; Band 4; Soccer 4.
Ed Shuttleworth was a quiet fellow, but inside that quiet person was a generous heart. He was well-known for his Pepsi-Cola, pretzels, cookies, and apples, which he inevitably brought back with him from a weekend at home. His name was almost always on the honor list, which was proof enough of his industrious character. Eddy's favorite day was Wednesday, when he could gleefully look forward to phsics lab. His hair-raising, death-defying experiments kept the entire class on edge ready to grab a fire extinguisher or throw open a window. But after two such strenuous hours weekly, Eddy calmly settled down to normal and displayed his customary soft-spoken voice and friendly countenance.
419 Lincoln Street New Britain,Conn.
Entered 1945; Student Council 4; "Y" Cabinet 4, Secretary 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Soccer 4(W); Track 3.
Peter Smart was one of the most well-known boys. In popularity as well as intelligence, Pete ranked among the top ones. He did a good job on the Student Council and was the secretary of the esteemed "Y" Cabinet. None of the South Hall residents will ever deny that Pete was anything but an asset in any activity, whether a bull session, class-room discussion, or an athletic contest. It will be a long time, if that time will ever come, before anyone will forget this member of South Hall's Seniors.
PETER W. SMART "Pete"
EDWARD T. SMITH"Snuffy"
87 Holyoke Street
Easthampton,Mass.
Entered 1944; Glee Club 2, 3.
Anyone looking down the long cracker line would inevitably see Smitty's bobbing red-head moving from cracker box to open hands. This genial host of hungry Willistonites was easily recognized not only by his top-knot, but by his cheery smile and bright "Hi!"
Smitty also brought his babbling brightness into his Spanish class where his Bop Hopish translations maintained a Bull-Fight atmosphere. For his size Ed was an athlete par excellence, as his soccer opponents will testify; in the winter he was the "terror of the slopes."
An earnest student, Ed applied his pent-up energy quite frequently to his studies. Although a day student, fun-loving, generous Ed won a host of friends.
Old Mill Road
Middletown,Conn.
Entered 1945; Glee Club 3, 4; Log 3, 4; Football 3, 4; Basketball 3; Hockey 4; Baseball 3.
"Not afraid of work, but not in sympathy with it," describes Steve's attitude towards his studies. Always ready to help the next guy, Steve was morale booster first class. Often seen in a rousing card game with "Da Fellaz," his contagious smile was always present along with his boisterous spirit. Seeming to possess a sixth sense, the "Hacker" was often seen heading the group in making a bee-line toward whatever food parcels which came to the dorm. He seemed to have the trait of enjoying whatever activity he participated in. Many times willing to show his biological knowledge, he relieved any monotony that might have come into his classes. Well liked and respected by his dorm-mates, Steve was one of the most genial personalities in South Hall.
Perfection has been George's keynote to success at Willisfon,Always striving for this ultimate goal, versatile George has made for himself a most enviable school record. One need only to glance at his statistics to find the height to which he steadily rose in four years. There is hardly an activity in school in which he does not participate. Although talented in every field, his rapid rise to Editor-in-Chief of the Willistonian typifies the persistency and perfection of his efforts. Yet he still found time to lead his class scholastically through four years. What his statistics and school record do not show, however, are his straightforwardness and his keen sense of human values which have enabled him to accomplish so much for himself, classmates, and school.
35 Maynard Road
Northampton,Mass.
Entered 1946; Glee Club 4.
Dick was another,one of the many Senior Gold-Coasters this year. Hailing from Northampton, he could be recognized from any angle by his habitual cap with the red hair around the edges. Although he was probably the most quiet person on the campus, he was by far not the least abundant in humor and friendliness. His favorite pastime was to sit by at a bull session and enjoy the humor that, at times, prevailed. Early in the morning, Tarsh could always be seen trudging down the walk with books in each hand. Although maintaining his detached position, Tarsh was well-liked by everyone who knew him.
Joe came from the west to try his hand at New England Prep Schools, and judging from his accomplishments, he has truly succeeded. Always quiet and easy-going, Joe would never turn down an offer to type for either of the publications or to debate in the Adelphi. For half an hour every week in the debating club he would violently show his original theories, then he would quiet down and go back to his studies. He always tried and did his very best with whatever endeavor he started. If one were to try to put flowery phrases into this summary he would defeat his purpose. The best thing to say is that Joe is a swell all'round guy—one of the best.
146 Wallace Street
Freeport,L. I., N.Y.
Entered 1945; Glee Club 3,4, President 4; Double Quartet 4; Flag Cornmi,tee 4; Football 3; Track 3.
"He who sings frightens away his ills." Van was evidently a strong supporter of this proverb, for from morning to night his booming bass voice was heard resounding through the corridors of Ford Hall. He was an outstanding member of the Glee Club, being its president, a member of the Double Quartet, and playing the role of The Mikado in the annual operetta. This was proof of his singing and acting ability. His readiness to attend the proverbial bull-sessions was the cause of many Saturday nights spent in his room. Van was by no means a poor student, standing out as an excellent English pupil. No one will ever forget his shock of hair, and his ever-ready and infectious grin.
CORNELIUS S. VAN REES "Van"
FREDERICK R. WALL
"Dick"
14 Hancock Street Northampton,Mass.
Entered 1946.
Dick is another of the talented 'Hamp boys. Most of this abundant talent was evident in his antics in the Chem Lab where one could always trace a noxious and obtrusive stench to Dick's desk. Many are the times when Dick has provided much appreciated transportation to'Hamp for lucky week-enders. He could always be found in Room 30 North enjoying his crackers-and-milk butt and exchanging witty remarks with anyone foolish enough to think that he could be out-done. A winning personality and amiable nature made Dick a friend of all who knew him.
6 Van Dyke Avenue
Entered 1945; Student Council 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Willistonian 3, 4, News Editor 4; Log 4, Associate Literary Editor 4; Senior Prom Committee 4; Football 3.
Host emeritus of the Upper 400, administrator of several literary posts, musical braintrust, and a person whom nobody can accuse of anti-sociability are some of the phrases which describe Tom Weyl. During his two-year sojourn Tom was ready to rise to any occasion whether it was a role in a Dramatic Club production, an editorship on the Willistonian or a position on the Student Council. Tom did not spend all his time "Around the Campus," however, as he spent his Saturday nights in fairer company. "As unchangeable as the hills, but not as green," Tom contributed much to life on Sammy's fair campus, and he leaves, taking with him and leaving behind him some very pleasant memories.
THOMAS J. WEYL, II "Tom"
FREDRIC WISE "Fred"
131 Elizabeth Street Hartford,Conn.
Entered 1944; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Soccer 4.
Fred was one of the more quiet and reserved of the Gold Coasters. A conscientious student, he excelled in mathematics and science. A friendly smile and a cheerful greeting awaited those who encountered Fred. Though rather quiet and reserved, he was always pleasant company for any group, for he had the.necessary patter for a ready conversation. Anybody upon meeting him could tell that here was a sincere person. Fred's whole attitude seemed open and frank with an uttermost of sincerity. He never made much noise around the school, but still he was known by most of the students.
Anyone passing through North's third floor could see a pair of red silk pajamas and blue smoking jackets dashing across the hall. Their proud possessor, Bim Young, indeed is an embodiment of vim, vigor, and vitality which could release itself any time, any place, from baseball fields to bouts with Knofla. Well-liked by his classmates Bim could always be sure of having an audience for his quick wit and poignant expressions, as his room had a club-like atmosphere, constantly filled with students. Appreciated by his friends for his complete frankness and fun-loving nature, Bim-was known to all the campus for his beaming smile.
CHARLES F. YOUNG, JR. "Bim"
RICHARD C. AQUADRO "Dick"
33 Wilson Avenue
Northampton,Mass.
Entered 1946.
Another of the boys from'Hamp is Dick Aquadro, whose means of locomotion to and from that fair city remains a big question. Seemingly reserved on the surface, Dick has plenty of that boundless exuberance possessed only by those genial gents from across the Manhan.Evidence of this was shown by Dick this fall when he sparked the Atom Smashers in their daily skirmishes on Galbraith Field. But like his'Hamp colleagues he had one great fault; he was a day student, and the rest of the school never had the chance to see Dick as his fun-loving, sincerely good-natured self.
8 Hudson Street
Easthampton,Mass,
Entered 1946; Flag Committee 4; Football 4; Basketball 3(W), 4(W), Captain 4; Baseball 3(W), 4(W),Captain 4.
John in his too-short stay at Williston has been associated with excellence in athletics and sportsmanship. Good-looking John possesses a finesse which few students can match. It is this characteristic coupled with his calm determination which has given him so many triumphs on the basketball court and baseball fields. John was always willing to match shots on the court and usually won. Deservedly popular with the student body, teammates, and opponents alike, soft-spoken John was recognized as a lasting friend and a true sportsman in every way. One of the most quiet and collected students on the campus, John never attempted to force himself on to any person or into any game but let his capabilities prove themselves.
JOHN F. DIGNAM "Ducie"
GUY
V. DYER, JR. "Tookie" 161 Boulevard West Hartford,Conn.
Entered 1942; U. S. Navy 1944-46; Glee Club 2,3,4; Football 2,3(W), 4(W); Basketball 2, 3; Baseball 2(W), 3(W).
A joke, a burst of raucous laughter—the first by anyone, the second, of course, from "Tookie," often dubbed the boy with the laugh. After a two year "vacation" with the Navy, the "king of South Hall" re-entered Williston and plunged into his studies with an -effort and eagerness that was never noticed before. An excellent athlete for his size, he has stood out more for his stamina and his sportsmanship than for his fine playing. A good and loyal friend to all, especially those that need one,"Eikoot" is another who seems to appear whenever there is an emergency. Much credit must also be given him for the fact that he can always find humor in any situation. Williston is going to miss that infectious grin.
East Templeton,Mass.
Entered 1940; U. S. Army 1943-46; Dramatic Club 4; Student Federalists 4.
One reason why articles for the various school publications came out so promptly was the fact that "Ziggy" was so generous with his typewriter. His pet hobby was collecting stamps,and he worked diligently at this pastime in between card games and studies. Ziggy's loyalty to his friends and to a certain individual at home was an excellent characteristic that was admired by his comrades. A very capable waiter, he used this talent professionally in waiting on for various boys who had the customary fee. Boston University is getting a representative of which Williston can be proud.
WARREN E. HAYES "Ziggie"
RICHARD M. HUNTER
79 Dartmouth Road
Manhasset,N.Y.
Entered 1946; Glee Club 4.
An excellent student and undoubtably a more enthusiastic pinochle player, Dick was well liked by those who knew him for his unassuming and friendly ways. Though quiet, one could rest assured that when "Dick," "Clem," and "Took" got together, he would be right in there at the lead working on "El Diablo's" nerves. Dick, though a big fellow, liked the easy going sports best, and so played in the "leagues" and in Canary football. He was also an active member of the Glee Club and struggled into his "tux" with the rest before concerts. Dick will go places in his quiet way—we wish him the best of luck.
"Dick"
217 Hampton Road
Syracuse,N.Y.
Entered 1946; Band 4; Football 4, Hockey 4.
Playing a "mellow saxophone" and harping on his favorite sport of golf, Bob has, no doubt,often annoyed his roommate Steve Burtt, as well as his acquaintances almost beyond endurance; yet this likeable and musically talented young man makes friends easily with his broad sense of humor and flashy smile. "Mills" is one of those people who will do anything for anyone in trouble; and, when one associates with him, one feels that here one can find a loyal pal. A professional bandleader when only in his middle teens,"Bob" looks like a sure bet to be up there with the Dorseys and Goodmans some day. We'll be listening and applauding, Bob.
ROBERT D. MILLINGTON "Mi//s"
JOHN F. MURPHY
224 State Street
Northampton,Mass.
Entered 1946; Football 4(W ).
If in an important football game this past fall a pass was completed, the chances are fifty-fifty that the receiver was Big Jack Murphy, the varsity end. An ex-navy man, and newly enrolled at the school this year,"Murph" soon became a well known and liked figure on the campus. An engaging grin and a perpetually bright disposition made "Murph" stand out both in class and on the athletic fields. Possibly many will remember him as the "demon scientist" of the last period physics class, or a constant participant in the 11:05 A.M.literary club in 30 North, but in whatever capacity one remembers him, one will agree that he has proved to be a very likeable chap.
"Murphy"
THOMAS M. PENDERGAST "Penny"
8 Emerald Place
Easthampton,Mass.
Entered 1946; Radio Club 4; Football 4.
A long, boisterous, infectious laugh has been the calling card and trademark of Tom Pendergast during the past year. "Penny" seemed to understand, or at least interpretate, a great deal of humor in most any statement, yet his serious side also was unfolded in many ways. On the football field, "Penny" was always willing to crash any size line, no matter whether his helmet was on or not; most likely it was not, yet "Penny" did not stop. As a driver, he strove to have the narrowest escapes one could imagine, and still he kept his job as the Ford-Hall Taxi driver. The ability to gain success will undoubtably carry him far in the "outer" world.
JOHN D. M. P. RODRIGUES
"Johnny"
Rua Fernao Lopes
Lisbon,Portugal
Entered 1946.
A prominent member of Williston's International Set is Portugal's delegate, John Rodrigues. Although bewildered at first by American slang, John soon developed his version of how to speak the language and now speaks English about as badly as the rest of the students. Calm,ever-polite, and hard-working, Johnny never tried to attract much of attention to himself, but with his subtle sense of humor, and remarkable persistency carved for himself a steady place in Williston's student world. John, who wanted to be known as a student not as a delegate, has added a lot of flavor to Williston life, and may take with him back to Portugal some very pleasant memories.
KENNETH G. ROUKEY "Rook"
2 Winter Street
Easthampton,Mass.
Entered 1946.
A Navy veteran and .another of Easthampton's gifts to Williston,'Rook" could always be seen on mornings both wet and cold awaiting the arrival of some of torch's more degenerated population. This ability of Ken's to mix in with all the boys on the campus has made for him a reputation as a very sincere, good-humored friend, and it is even rumored that a rather efficient Rouke Date Agency exists. In the class room, Ken's quiet, receptive behavior marked him as a willing student whose mental attitude should do much toward making his later life a success.
If one passes by Pork's room he is confronted with the inevitable "got a butt." Pork's four years were spent, as was said of Disraeli, "in the audience as well as on the stage" for he was forever playing the role of the perpetual pessimist, but beneath the griping surface was a jovial fellow making the best out of life. A veritable bundle of energy, Porky gave power-plus to every task he undertook, from soccer games to school publications. He enlivened any bull session he attended, thanks to his unbelievably large store of anecdotes concerning every personage in school.
WALTER J. GNACEK "Walt" 9 Exeter Street
Easthampton,Mass.
Entered as Post Graduate 1946; in U. S. Service 1943-46.
Pod-glaaluda
HUBERT H. CADLE "Hubie" 65 Western Avenue Westfield,Mass.
Entered 1940; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Willistonian 2; Track 3(W), 4(W); in U. S. Service 1943-46; Post Graduate 1947.

Upon the Senior Prom Committee falls the duty of making arrangements for the Promenade held in May. After weeks of hard labor taken in decorating the gym with shrubbery, banners and lights, printing the programs, and hiring an orchestra, the committee sees their final glorious creation go in a few short hours. If it is a success, as it always has been, their plans are worthwhile and through them every student and his partner experience the best in festive occasions. The seniors in particular, and all the classes in general, agree to the amount of credit due to such a committee with such an undertaking. Mr. Granniss, with his capable direction, also helps immeasurably these boys in tuxes and bow-ties to plan a fitting climax of dance and music to a year of school at Williston.

By HOWARD A. LOGAN,'47
Emerging from a square in Florence old,
A tower grew and rose above the trees.
An artist's plan placed firm the bricks and stone
To form the Strazzi Palace bathed in sun.
The beams and ribs were placed by long thought plans.
A youth was born, a spirit was instilled,
Which, like a statue, stood for life's high goal.
This spirit strong, still loved by reverent hearts,
Traversed a path through ocean's surging tide
And flourished newly on a puritan shore.
A lofty mast rose like the youth of old;
An emblem tall, a torso passion-made,
A force matured from out an artist's heart.
Like Atlas holding high the pulsing globe,
The Tower firmly stands with shoulders square.
Its feet, like roots, hold close the Valley's sod;
A fertile soil made by God's warm smile.
The stony chambers of the mammouth lungs
Are strongly seeping rich with Yankee air.
Its solid chest and back of stalwart stone
Stand straight with rigor 'gainst entwining gales.
The forehead firm, the brow with tempest lashed, Is clasped with warmth and scents of clover blooms.
The Town has spread around the tower's feet;
The School finds guidance in the stalwart theme.
Now planted firmly at the mountain's base
There is a symbol of a hard-fought past.
—A spirit, too, of strength for future men.

Just as Willistonites change from year to year so does the Willistonian. This year the writing has expressed a more objective and expansive outlook toward its material.
Largely responsible for this, George Stolz, Editor-in-Chief, has worked hard to make the paper a better example of journalistic writing. With Bayley Mason, Feature Editor, John Plant, Sports Editor, Owen Beenhouwer, Copy Editor, and Thomas Weyl, News Editor, he has assumed for the paper's policy an encouragement of the finer aspects of Williston spirit and traditions.

Adviser William H. Hawley
This year under Howard Logan, Executive Editor, the paper has greatly expanded its outside coverage. The Willistonian now covers the school's events for eight newspapers.
Throughout the last year the Willistonian has carefully reported events in the school and their sidelights. The paper has mixed with its straight reporting a lighter, more humorous strain. To keep a balance in the paper there have also been several more serious columns.
Under the leadership of Business Manager Judd Mott, the Willistonian Business Staff has collected more advertisements than in the last few years. As a result, the Willistonian ended its year with extra money in spite of its six-page issues and rising prices.

There are very few people who realize the enormous amount of time and effort that goes into the publication of a yearbook. Each year,although there is a great deal of response, only a few boys carry the complete responsibility.
This year's "Log" is the forty-fifth edition put out by the Senior classes of Willston. Started in 1902, the "Log" has undergone a great many beneficial improvements. This year the Underclassmen's page has been changed, a view section has been reintroduced, and much more art work is present.
The five departments, namely literary, business, managing, photography, and art, have tried to turn out a yearbook superior to those of other years. The literary department has done a large job, the senior and activity write-ups being one of their accomplishments. The business staff has worked diligently and for their untiring efforts they have made possible the publishing of a better yearbook. The managing department did very well in the lay-outs of every page,and in collecting the many statistics needed in almost every division of the book. Photography has been better, and with clearer and larger pictures, this department has added immeasurably to the prsentation of scenes and events in the volume. The art department, though small, has produced excellent drawings which illustrate the theme.with originality.
All these editors are headed by an editor-in-chief, whose duty it is to see that each article, picture, or drawing is handed in on time and sent to the printer. This year's "Log" was fortunate in having Howard Logan as the editor. He fulfilled all of his regular assignments plus doing many small but important things to assure the perfection in the work of the departments.
A great deal of appreciation is also due the faculty adviser, Mr. Johnston, whose untiring effort and invaluable experience made the yearbook possible. We sincerely hope that this year's "Log" will carry on the shining record of all its predecessors.

Howard G. Boardman Director
Hesse President
ama/ic ok
For several reasons it seems very unlikely that this year's Dramatic Club will ever lose its prodigious reputation. One reason was the returning host of experienced players with whom Mr. Boardman had to work. Another no doubt was the spirited acting that "Boardy" was well able to draw from his proteges.
President Bill Hesse, a four year member,Greg Eaton, a returned veteran, Grant MacMackin, Lester Durdick, Dick Hovey, John Ring, John MacElwee, Tony Barnett, Bob Burrows, John Belck, and many others all worked together for a very successful season with 'Julius Caesar" in the fall and Thornton Wilder's "Our Town" in the spring.
Before considering the Club further, the difficulties it labored under should be viewed. With the Fire Commissioner making short work of the use of such things as scenery, curtains, and movable chairs, the club was hard put in an unusual environment. A fewer than usual number of rehearsals for "Our Town" also added to difficulties.
Despite all these harassing troubles, Thornton Wilder's story of small town life and the great beauty of living was impeccably performed in conjunction with the Northampton School for Girl's "Mask and Wig" club. Gregory Eaton and Bill Hesse turned in especially commendable performances along with Les Burdick, Grant MacMackin, Bob Burrows, and John MacElwee. The whole play, combined with the wonder brought forth by the Production Staff in lights and effects, was a great credit to the Club.

SAMMY Stand-Up Song of WILLISTON ACADEMY, Easthampton; Mass. Words and Music by Paul H. Johnson, Class of 1905. Arrangement by C. E. Rouse and F. B. Hyde of Williston Faculty.
Under the able leadership of Mr. Rouse, the Glee Club of 1946-47 was molded into a fine, smooth-running organization. Most of the available talent was that which returned from last year, but the new students also supplied a good deal.
In its first concert, the Glee Club performed excellently at Southampton. This performance was the culmination of many weeks of hard work.Joe Stevens and Bob Millington each rendered creditable instrumental solos, and the Double Quartet appeared twice.
The following two Sundays found the club participating in church services in Easthampton. The first of these concerts was at the Providence Methodist Church and the second at Saint Philip's Episcopal Church.
Acclaimed by all present as the best concert of the year was that given at Hopkins Academy. Even the best singers of the club excelled that night, and it will be long remembered for its excellence. Almost at an equal was the concert given at the Jones Library in Amherst the following Sunday afternoon.
On Saturday night, March 15th, the Glee Club had the annual combined concert with the Northampton School for Girls. This concert had been cancelled last year because of sickness, so it was a new and pleasant experience for most of the boys.
The Double Quartet, which affordedethe audiences a great deal of pleasure, consisted of Ring, Elliot, Browne,B. Mason,Baker, Hall, Van Rees, and Barratt.

aza Banal
The Williston Band has, under the direction of Mr. Curtiss, helped greatly in arousing the spirit of the school. During the past few years, the Band has gradually come to occupy one of the most interesting and important places in Williston life. This year the Band played at all Saturday morning rallies, at many home football games, and at most of the home basketball games.
Since many of last year's members returned, Mr. Curtiss had an excellent foundation around which to build the group. Among these old boys were Dave Beach, a drummer; Warren Lindberg and Gordon Prochnow, clarinetists, and Bob Ceely, a trumpeter. Johnny Ring on the trombone and Frank Cummings on the sax were also veteran band members. To this were added several new musicians. Bob Gardiner, Horace Laprade, and Joe Stevens strengthened the trumpet section, while George Liss and Dalton McClelland added their flute playing talents. Besides Tookie Dyer and Rees Eaby on the clarinet, Ed Shuttleworth and Bob Millington contributed greatly to the saxophone corps. Last, but not least, was Bob Baker on the piano.
Much of the credit for the success of this year's organization goes to the capable director, Mr. Curtiss, who willingly gave much of his time and efforts in arranging music and in conducting frequent rehearsals. Although the Band is still in its early stages of development towards a full-fledged school organization, it has already won an important and valuable position in school life.
Adviser William J. Lossone of the rules.
Skied Council
The Student Council is one of the most important organizations in the school and, for this reason, its members are chosen with a great deal of care. They are boys who are not only popular with the student body, but who also stand highest in qualities of leadership and responsibility.
The duties of the Council are many and varied. Supervision of the milk line at crackers and milk period,the checking of beds in the morning,and the checking in of seniors on Saturday nights are some of the more important duties, although it is the purpose of the Council to see that all the school laws are carried out. Each Monday night this group meets to discuss current problems and to punish any violators
This year's Council, under the leadership of Norm Minty, president; John Plant, vicepresident, and Ken Barratt, secretary, instituted the newest organization in the school; that is, the Honor Board. Besides this, the group amended the Constitution to appoint new members directly after the Spring vacation, instead of two weeks before the end of the school year, the reason being to acquaint the successors more thoroughly with the requirements of the position. The Council was also responsible for a very successful dance which was held on February 22nd. Early in the year Senior privileges were secured for all veterans in the school.
Such improvements as these speak well for the success of the Student Council at Williston. Through this organization, the student body is able to voice its opinion, and steps can be taken to build up a closer relationship between faculty and students.

As in many previous years the Williston "Y" Cabinet again proved itself capable of fulfilling its tasks, that of helping the needy and sponsoring the school's entertainment. Founded as a religious organization, the "Y" Cabinet spent most of its span doing a large proportion of the charitable work done by Williston. It is the school's chapter of the 'world-renown Y.M.C.A.
Most of the charitable work done by the "Y" Cabinet consisted of the sending of money,food,and supplies to the Lycee Malherbe in Caen,France.Besides helping this school, the "Y" Cabinet also sent supplies to the students of many of the other European countries whose scholastic systems have been profoundly injured by the war. Much of the money, old clothes, and books that were sent to Europe were collected by the "Y" members from the Williston students.
For the student entertainment the "Y" Cabinet sponsored the "Y" reception at the beginning of the year so that the old and the new students might become acquainted. It was also responsible for school dances, the athletic smokers, and the serving of cocoa after the games. For the out-of-door lovers it supervised the cabin, and for those who enjoyed ping-pong and reading, it sponsored the Common Room in North Hall.
Also for the first time since the war the Williston "Y" Cabinet sent members to the
Y.M.C.A. meeting in Northfield to which schools from all over New England sent delegates to discuss the problems of the schools and the duties of the "Y" Cabinets.

Four seniors, two elected by the Student Council and two by the "Y" Cabinet,compose the newly-formed Honor Board, a subsidiary committee,of the Student Council. Created to treat serious misconduct individually without disciplinary measures, the Board's small membership enables student problems to be thrashed out informally free from the parliamentary procedure of the Student Council. The result is a promotion of self-discipline as opposed to punishment inflicted by the school authorities.
The Board was introduced to the school last fall by the "Y" Cabinet delegates to the New England Preparatory School Conference where the idea originated. Although a novel idea to Williston, such a Board functions at several other preparatory schools where it is very effective in straightening out problems of misconduct particularly with younger boys. At Williston as at other schools cases which cannot be dealt with satisfactorily can be referred to the Student Council or Faculty.

Through the year Adelphi's members have filled the air with important pro and con thoughts over our world's aches and pains. Their formally presented ponderings have done a great deal toward opening their minds to many current outside controversies.
Mr. Thomas, directing the Club with much experience, presided over weekly meetings in the Adelphi-Gamma Sigma room in Middle Hall. Although the Club did not have any formal outside debates with other schools it was truly felt. that invaluable experience gained in public speaking and controversial writing alone were sufficient reason for proclaiming a highly well-used year.
With George Stolz, Eddy Young, and John Ring, officers for the first half-year as president,secretary,and vice-president respectively, the Adelphi was well started. Switching at mid-stream, as is customary, the officerships were transferred to Greg Eaton, Norm Minty, and Joe Thorn, who are to be congratulated along with their fellow team-mates for carrying on the second lap as successfully as the first.

During 1946-47, the Radio Club finished one of its most successful seasons in recent years. With the active leadership of President Bill Kruse11 and Secretary-Treasurer Peter Dunk,and the capable guidance of Mr. Bray, the club has doubled its membership, and a busy schedule has been followed.
Meetings were held for one hour every Sunday morning. The meeting place was changed from Payson Hall to the physics Lab, thus enabling the club to make use of much of the physics equipment. Code practice was held before every meeting, and many beginners first became acquainted with Morse code in this manner. A series of lectures on radio theory was given by Mr. Bray, beginning with fundamentals and progressing in the course of the year, to advanced topics. The remaining time during the meetings was spent in work and experimenting with the club's equipment.
The club was extremely fortunate this year in receiving a complete army surplus radio station, consisting of a transformer and two receivers, with complete accessories. The receivers were put into immediate service; several members began to work towards amateur licenses, so that the club hopes to establish its own station sometime next year.
A high point in the year's activity was reached when Mr. Bray and a group from the club went to Springfield to hear a lecture on "Radar and Micro-waves." Such opportunities as this offer a chance for technically-minded boys to keep abreast of the rapidly-developing field of radio, and to help prepare themselves for a future career.

Although they make up one of the smallest groups in school, the cheerleaders are not the least important. All during the year these boys led the traditional spirited cheering that prevails at Williston.
Under the leadership of Johnny Plant, Saturday morning rallies built up the school's enthusiasm and edged on the competitive spirit. Between cheers the captains and coaches of the teams spoke a few words, and following this some songs which were terminated by the singing of "Sammy."
This year's cheerleaders all did an impressive job, for more than one visiting team was known to comment on the cheering.

FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

Captain Mario Di Marzo
d'atadail
Returning to post-war football,the Wildcats sunk slightly under the .500 mark in compiling a record of two victories, one tie, and three losses against the keener brand of football displayed by the Williston opponents. Head Coach Lash WS ably assisted by Pete O'Kulsky and Bill Hawley.
Traveling to Vermont Academy for the season's opener, the football team battled in the rain for four scoreless stanzas. The soggy turf which stalled the Williston ball carriers and passers plus the stalwart defensive play of the opponents' line-backers accounted for the absence of Wildcat scoring. In the second game a great-charging,scrappy Mount Hermon line stopped the Blue and Gold from crossing into pay-dirt, while Mount Hermon recovered a Wildcat fumble on the 35, passed to the 12, and then smashed the remaining yards on power plunges. The running of Lindy Hanson and Jim O'Brien highlighted the offense. Walt Clemens and John Murphy excelled at the tackle and end posts, respectively.
The full fury of the previously potential potent pointproducing attack became a reality against Cranwell. Buddy Czelusniak tossed to Dick Hovey for the first score of the season. From this point Lindy Hanson dominated the scoring, counting on an end run, passing to Jim O'Brien for another, and scampering 55 yards with an interception. The line work of Eddie Young, Grant MacMackin, and Johnny Ring was exceptional and deserved much credit.
The outcome of the traditional game with Deerfield saw a Williston victory break the long string of successive decisions the Green and White possessed over the Wildcats. Mario DiMarzo capped off a first period 45-yard march by scoring from the 3. The second marker was the result of a 15-yard pass from Buddy Czelusniak to Lindy Hanson. Boop-
er Laprade's kick offs, at the opening of the game and after the first tally, placed Deerfield deep in their own territory, an important factor in the first period touchdowns.
Facing the strongest offensive and defensive opponent, the Wildcats bowed to the Suffield powerhouse 14-0. The Black and Orange rolled 90 yards for their first score in the opening minutes of the contest, while later in the second half they moved from the center stripe for the final score. Lindy Hanson performed spectacularly in running back kicks with the aid of timely blocks thrown by Mario DiMarzo, Johnny Ring and Dick Hovey. In the season's final Wilbraham squeezed out an 8-7 victory,although the Wildcats dominated the play a major part of the game. On the third play from scrimmage by Williston,Lindy Hanson skirted the right flank and galloped 55 yards down the side lines. Steve Burtt place kicked for the extra point. Denied a touchdown when Grant MacMackin intercepted a Wilbraham pass, they trapped a stray Wildcat in pay-dirt for a safety, making it 7-2. Late in the last quarter Wilbraham passed for a score. The Blue and Gold frantically raced to the opponents' 12-yard marker before the final gun sounded. Bob O'Connell and Walt Clemens starred in the line.
After the close of the campaign Mario DiMarzo was elected Captain of the team which had been playing under various acting captains including Eddie Young, Buddy Czelusniak, Walt Clemens, Grant MacMackin, and Mario DiMarzo.The Mills Kicking Contest was won by Lifidy Hanson, while Mario DiMarzo was the recipient of the gold football awarded to the most;aluable player. Looking ahead to next fall Lindy Hanson and Grant MacMackin are co-captains elect.

Coach
Wilmot S. Babcock

Once again, the Williston soccer team, coached by Messieurs Babcock, Boardman, and McIntyre, and led by co-captains Duncan and Minty, turned in a rather successful record, winning six and losing four.
Their first two contests were defeats owing to a lack of experience, but the team soon snapped back to win the next two by shutting out their opponents.
Perhaps the most surprising victory of the season was the 1-0 Blue and Gold win over Wilbraham, who previously had defeated Deerfield, 2-1. Deerfield in turn smothered Williston 5-1. Another encounter turned up when Williston won over Mt. Hermon 1-0.
High scorer of the season was Captain Minty, who scored seven. Captain-elect Beach came second with five goals to his credit.
Probably the best combine in the forward line was the inside trio of Stolz, Minty, and Beach. The passwork between them was indeed difficult for the opposition to thwart. But it was not passwork alone that made them click. Stolz's powerful kick was a triple threat to any goalie. It was also their clever heading that scored a number of points. Many a high bounding ball from the wings was directed into the net by this maneuver.
When the forward line of any opponent attempted to drive the ball to pay dirt, they came up against a hard-fighting and well-organized defense composed of such players as Barnett, H. Laprade, and Prochnow at half-back, Duncan and Backofen at full-back, and Donahue in the goal.
Backofen played his best the day of the Deerfield game, when he continually repulsed the attack of their forward line and drove the ball deep into the opponents' territory.
Captain Ed Duncan played an outstanding game of soccer. In five games out of the ten played the opposition was held to no score. Between Eddy and Al Backofen, coupled with the half-backs, many an opposing team was stopped short at the midfield stripe.
A great deal of credit goes to the coaches for the type of record that the team turned in. With only four returning lettermen, Coach Babcock molded an admirable team, who, whether they were winning or losing,fought tirelessly to the final whistle. But a team will not function unless it works together as one, and this year's team certainly did just that. The afore-mentioned trio was fed by such wing-players as Gedney, Beenhouwer, Howland and Porter.

A sometimes brilliant, fast but often erratic basketball team emerged from a rather difficult schedule with a better than average record of nine wins and five losses.
Opening the season by trouncing Vermont Academy, Williston, led by John Donahue, Jim Ross, and Captain Dignam, proceeded to roll up two other easy victories over the Amherst Freshmen and Stockbridge. At Suffield on January 22nd, this string was finally broken by a powerful Suffield squad that completely ran over the visitors, the victors being paced by Bartinski, one of New England's best schoolboy centers.
The Blue and Gold returned to the victory column by successive wins over Cranwell and Mount Hermon, victories that saw "Long John" Donahue garner a total of thirty-one points. Traveling to Deerfield to engage their traditional rivals, the Wildcats played one of the most exciting games of the season. With the lead changing hands five times and the score tied seven, the home team put on a last-minute surge and won by five points in spite of the magnificent all-around work of Lindy Hanson.
On the following Wednesday, Hanson, continuing in his same starring role, sparked Williston to an upset victory over a highly rated Monson quintet. In the second game of the home and home series with Deer-
field, however, the Lashmen found themselves at the short end of the score once more as a fast-breaking, sharp-shooting visiting five scored thirty-eight points in the second half to walk away with an easy victory.
Although dropping the next game to Loomis, Williston began to show signs of its brilliance once again as it downed the hosts Mount Hermon on a last-minute basket by Jim Ross and trounced its old nemesis,Kingswood,on the latter's own court. Behind for almost the entire game at Wilbraham, the Blue and Gold finally won this most thrilling game of the year in a desparation heave by Stan Kedney and a winning set shot by John Donahue.
On the following Saturday the losers of the previous heart-breaking game met the Lashmen in the final engagement of the season and, paced by Charbonneau, broke loose from the even scoring that had marked the game and went home with a well-earned victory.
An enjoyable post-season game with the Alumni was held on March 12th with the Old-timers winning 64-61 due principally to the fine work of Leon Waskiewicz and Ray Kuceland while Johnny Dignam, who had played excellently in the two previous games,continued his good work.

"Check back and skate hard," lazily vibrated across the rink as head hockey coach Lossone gathered together his star-studded squad for another season. As the season rolled on it was evident that this year's team was far superior to those of recent years. Proof of this may be found in the one-point margin separating the sextets in the Deerfield scrap which is usually dominated by the Green.
With the exception of Kip Chace who left for college after the first four games, the personnel of the starting combine remained the same. Bob Doolittle and Red Glaze played the wings, figuring in many scoring plays both in tallying and assisting. Bob Shepardson rounded out the "punch line" at center. Captain Hovey was moved from his forward position of last year to a defensive slot from which he, nevertheless, made a good share of the squad's goals. Sharing the defensive chores with the 60-minute caption was Grant MacMackin, a returning letter man.
Goal tending was divided between two very capable and alert men in the persons of Jack Moye and John Ring. Bob Millington and Red Duncan were capable substitutes, the former starting several games. Looking ahead to next year Bob Doolittle was elected captain.

An unexperienced and essentially untried ski team took to the mountain this year and surprised everyone, including themselves, by winning three out of four meets.
The returning members of last year's team consisting of Gowdy, Rouse, Beach, Smart, and Heath, bolstered by three new members, Curran, Brown, and Mainzer, took their only loss from a strong Deerfield team, 200 to 184.
Skiing on their home grounds, the Williston team swamped an inexperienced Easthampton Outing Club 200-140.
Mr. Hermon fell almost as easily by a score of 285-256.1. However, they took most of the honors in. cross-country.
The Williston team had a hey-day with an almost completely inexperienced Loomis team. However, Loomis competitors placed first in the slalom. Williston received all the rest of the honors, ending by drubbing Loomis 194-155.
Besides winning meets, the team and all other skiers pitched in and widened trails, took away obstacles,and made a new trail. Also, under the able guidance of Coach Babcock, lessons were given to those who needed them.
In spite of the very changeable weather and lack of snow at times, the ski group enjoyed themselves thoroughly and the ski team had a very successful season.

At the time of this writing, the baseball team has yet to play its first game; the squad, nevertheless, appears to be a harder hitting, better fielding, and certainly more experienced group than last year's successful nine.
Returning letterman Richard Austin is slated to be number one pitcher, with Captain Dignam and Robert Schuler ready to give him able assistance. In the outfield are Grant MacMakin, last year's leading batsman, Spencer Warnick, and John Donahue. When not pitching,John Dignam will play the outfield as will one of the two capable receivers, Mario DiMarzo and Robert O'Connell.
Rounding out the infield are Walter Czelusniak at third base, Lindy Hanson at short, Curt Richards at second, and Bob Ryan at the initial sack.
Reserves such as utility infielder and pitcher Robert Shepherdson and outfielder Guy Dyer strengthen the team immeasurably, and a good second team is being made from the many other talented members of the Varsity squad.
To the nucleus of last year's lettermen, Austin, Dignam, MacMakin, and Donahue, have been added the speed, power,and experience of such men as O'Connell, who has played on a Champion American Legion team; Hanson, Richards, and Ryan, who played considerably in High School and summer leagues; and Dyer and Czelusniak, returning veterans and former lettermen at Williston.

This year, upon returning from the war, Coach Hepworth finds an inexperienced group into which he will have to mold a team. It is not probable that the squad will be able to equal the spotless record of last spring's netmen, but it is hoped that they will improve throughout the season.
Returning from last year's squad are Ted Duncan, John Plant, and Frank Cummings. These boys played second team tennis last year, making a varsity appearance in the season's finale with Worchester. Tony Barnett, switching from baseball, displays good form and shows promise. The same might be said for Bob Doolittle and Dick Hovey, who are both track converts.
The above mentioned, with the exception of Doolittle, are all seniors. Therefore, special attention will have to be paid to promising young players so that a situation such as exists this year will not reoccur. Among these players Gerry Shaw and Chester Andrews stand out.
Since there are not any returning emblem winners, there is no captain. He will, however, be chosen later in the season. John Belck will manage the team.

Returning to its large pre-war schedule, the Williston track team faces a program of six meets with strong opponents and new rivals. Undefeated last year, the Blue and Gold hopes to continue the streak but is unfortunately short of experienced men.
Captain Norman Minty, the leading Williston half-miler, heads a group of returning lettermen and veterans of last year's squad, among whom are George Stolz, and Fred Hochberger, both runners and high jumpers; Alan Carter, dashmen and pole vaulter; Peter Smart, pole vaulter; Ed Porter, dashman; David Beach, hurdler; and Warren Lindberg and Jeffery Gore,dashmen. The field event department will be handled by Lester Burdick, John Keough, Norman Minty, and newcomer Stephen Burtt. In addition to the aforementioned is Phil Lyman,ex-marine and holder of the school's 220 record.
While not a large group it is a good base on which to build this year's team and set an example for next season's squad.
Coach Putman is ably assisted by Messrs. Babcock, Hawley, and Jenkins, all of whom have had considerable experience with track teams.

One of the most important steps in a boy's education is his ability to compete in some sport. It teaches him sportsmanship, which entails being a good loser as well as a modest winner, very necessary to him in college and later life.
Although they do not receive the praise due them, a minor athletic team represents the school as well as a major team. There are a variety of teams at Williston ranging from lightweight football up to canary baseball. Each team plays a schedule of games with other teams of their own size and ability. During the entire school year every boy is given a chance to compete in some athletic contest.
There is also an inter-dorm contest in which the three dormitories, North, Ford, and South compete for a banner, given to the highest scoring dorm. Here again, each boy can have a chance to win glory for his dorm with the ability achieved on the many Minor Athletic teams.

The Athletic Advisory,Board is one of the most important organizations because it contributes greatly to the functioning of sports at Williston. This group,although they meet only three times a year, undertakes two important jobs; these are determining the lettermen of each sport and selecting the seven first-team managers for the following year. This year's board consisted of four students and four coaches. The students were Dick Hovey of Ford Hall, Lindy Hanson of South Hall, Grant MacMackin of North Hall, and John Dignam from the day boys. The four coaches were Messrs. Putnam, Babcock, Lash, and Lossone. The four student members were, because of their outstanding athletic ability, elected by the boys to represent their respective dormitories.
This board is run in such a manner that the boys have the greater part of the decisions with help from the coaches. Because lettermen and managers are elected by unanimous vote only, the amount is kept to a minimum which bestows a great deal of honor to all recipients.
Seated, Left to Right: Mr. Lossone, Mr. Putnam, Mr. Lash. Standing, Left to Right: Hanson, MacMackin, Hovey, Dignam. Missing: Mr. Babcock.

A fitting ending to any book—a collection of snaps of the Williston Log Cabin. Sponsored by the "Y" Cabinet, the Cabin brings forth many memories to members of the student body. Picnics—including steaks and all the trimmings, over-night camping, building swimming pools, and an enjoyment of escaping the general run of the school for a few very happy hours in only a few minutes, were all enjoyed at this place in the woods.
Equipped with eleven beds, stove, and a complete array of cooking utensils, the Log Cabin, the personal pride and joy of Mr. Granniss, will never fade from those memories acquired in these few enjoyable years.
