TO WILLIAM JORDAN LOSSONE

THE SENIOR CLASS RESPECTFULLY

Since his arrival at Williston twenty-five years ago, William Jordan Lossone has constantly been one of the most popular and best-liked instructors. However, his ability as a teacher does not terminate here, for through his patience and skill he has become a successful coach of football, hockey, and baseball. Familiarly known for his "Ca va" and terse statements, sudden outbursts of laughter often are heard pouring forth from his classroom because of one of "Von's" witty anecdotes. He is an authority on many subjects which include politics and world affairs. His activities have not only been as French, Latin, Spanish, and German instructor and athletic coach, but for several years he has acted as faculty adviser to the Student Council and has been a prominent member of the Athletic Advisory Board.

CHARLES EDWARD ROUSE

I J-4

Because of his willingness to complete any task which is either for the good of the students or for the good of the school, Charles Edward Rouse has gained the respect of all who have been associated with him. For the past twenty-five years, with his ready smile and understanding nature, "Chuck" has undertaken successfully a great many difficult and arduous tasks.

His accomplishments include his success as head of the English department, former adviser to both the Log and the Willistonian, director of the Glee Club and of the Gilbert and Sullivan Operettas. One of the founders of Mount Tom Summer School, he has been director of Williston Academy Summer School since its opening in 1943.

Preface

The school year of 1947-1948 will remain a memorable one for all students, but especially for the seniors who have striven to gain admittance to college in order to secure the education needed to help them in some way to straighten out a world filled with conflicting problems. After almost three years of peace, the world problems have not diminished. Therefore, it is necessary for the young men of today who will be the world leaders of tomorrow to gain a better knowledge of a world full of error and misunderstanding.

However, in our college preparation here at Williston, there have been many hours of happiness, fun, and general congeniality — things which can never be taken from us, come what may. It is the purpose of this book, therefore, to help to store in our memories the joyous life which has been ours while here. We have essayed to recapture the pleasures afforded us by life in the dormitories with fun-loving fellows who will remain our lifelong friends, feelings of pride in our athletics, and pride in our fully successful clubs and organizations. We, the seniors of 1948, heartily thank the students, faculty, and those associated with the school for helping to make our life at Williston one of happiness and future success.

GRACE E. BASCOME

As school nurse at Williston for the past twenty-five years, Miss Grace E. Bascome has gained respect for maintaining an untiring and unselfish vigil who has constantly cared for both the students and faculty of the entire academy. Whenever boys have any sickness Miss Bascome is the one to whom the boys first go. Every day she cares for boys whose maladies range from headaches to measles.

Although she is confined to the infirmary much of the time she finds some spare moments in which she can attend various local clubs and organizations, of which she is an ardent member.

It is because of her constant faithfulness during the past years that the Class of 1948 takes this opportunity to thank Miss Bascome for her help and wish her much happiness in the future.

Equipped with determination to do right and to establish an honorable record, Dick accomplished a great deal in his two years at Williston. Effective study made him a continual member of the honor list, and his interest in school affairs gave him the incentive to gain distincton in the Glee Club and on the Willistonian. Showing a quick mind, Dick could discuss intelligently any type of subject. A good conversationalist, he was pleasant company for any group.

ALLEN EMIL ANDERSEN, JR. "Andy"

Harkness Road Amherst, Mass.

Entered 1946; Dramatic Club 4; Radio Club 4; Soccer 4.

Outwardly quiet and unassuming, Andy's select group of comrades, nevertheless, knew him as light-hearted and mischievous. A naturally amiable disposition ranked him as a desired member of any gathering. He was a faithful student in every subject, but chemistry lab furnished, oftentimes, a temptation to experiment on his own which he was not able to resist. As a result of this curiosity, Andy provided harmless amusement for many of his friends.

15 Summer Street Adams, Mass.

Entered 1945; United States Army 2 years; Student Council 3; Willistonian 2, 3; Log 2, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, Manager 3; Soccer Manager 3 (W).

Frank received the surname "Bull" chiefly because of the largeness of his frame. Never provoked at anyone, he merited the respect of every second-floor resident of North Hall. In many controversial matters, he voiced a valued opinion. Frank was thoroughly acquainted with every known drawing implement, his accuracy with the exacting T-square being well known. Because he possessed a large store of knowledge about everything in school, he proved an eminent conversationalist at all bull sessions.

Pittsfield, Mass.

Entered 1944, Student Council 4; Willistonian 2, 4; Log 2; Glee Club 1; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Soccer 2, 3 (W), 4 (W), Captain 4; Ski 1, 2, 3, 4, Captain 4; Track 2 (W), 3 (W), 4 )w).

In his six years at Williston, "Ducky" has shown true determination, both as a hard-working student and a good athlete. His athletic prowess won him the captaincy of skiing and also of soccer. His duties as a member of the Student Council and head waiter of Payson Hall taxed his ability as a leader to the full extent. Some of his pent-up energy loosed itself on his studies. Since he was constantly in good humor, "Ducky" was welcome everywhere.

R. F. D. 2

Amherst, Mass. varix

Entered 1945; Willistonian 2, 3; Log Literary Editor 4; Glee Club 2, 3; Dramatic Club 4.

An acute keenness of understanding and an unyielding adherence to school life has aggrandized Harry's ability to conclude a successful prep school course. In spite of a retrenchment of privileges, his First Honors gave him enough free time. His eagerness to succeed has rewarded him with an almost unsurpassed record in scholarship. In his spare moments, the soft, delicate tones of Schumann could be heard waxing the wisps of wandering winds. Let us hope that college will not only advance his knowledge, but also help him retain his amiable personality.

JACQUES CHARLES BRABANT "Jack"

K. M. A. Jongshan, Hopei

Entered 1947.

North China

Although Jack entered Williston late in 1947, he distinguished himself as one of the most energetic students on the campus. Not only was he a ball of fire in the dorm, but many of his opponents have vouched for his speed on the tennis court. Like his hard-to-distinguish twin, he has made a commendable scholastic record during this year. Always good for a laugh, Jack has supplied many happy moments for the boys of South Hall.

HAROLD BOHMER, JR. "Bohm"

YVAN EMILE ALBERT BRABANT "John"

K M. A. Jongshan, Hopei

Entered 1947. North China

Although Yvan, with his twin brother, entered Williston in the late fall, his sparkling personality immediately made him popular among all the boys. Characterized by a multitude of practical jokes, Yvan was one of the peppiest of South Hall's representatives. However, aside from all this, he was a conscientious fellow who was on honors during his entire stay, despite the heavy curriculum which he carried. When he enters college in September, the same qualities that won him so many friends and admirers here will surely give him a good start.

1108 Anna Street Elizabeth, N. J.

Entered 1944; Willistonian I, 3; Log 3, 4, Associate Business Manager 4; Adelphi Gamma-Sigma I, 2, 3, 4, Vice President 4; Student Federalists 3, 4.

Self-confidence came to Buck's assistance in all his efforts, with the result that school life has been full for him. While keeping his marks at a respectable level, he has explored every field that seemed interesting. Aggressiveness paved the way for some of his admirable work in numerous activities. His difficulty in distinguishing between the French "mieux" and "meilleur" was illustrative of the language which is peculiar to him and which only he can spell "Buchanese".

WARREN DUNN BUCHANAN "Buck"

ROBERT WARD BURROWS "Bob"

534 Pelham Manor Road Pelham Manor 65, N. 1"

Entered 1945; Glee Club 4; Double Quartet 4; Dramatic Club 2, 3 4; Cheer Leader 3, 4; Band 4; Track 2, 3, 4.

A big noise in Ford Hall usually marked the presence of Bob Burrows. The commotion was inevitably in good humor, however, and everyone in Ford Hall's third floor clique came to enjoy his boisterous nature. He did not sympathize with study but found outlets for his enthusiasm in many organizations. Because of a characteristic exuberance, Bob was eager for a tussle at any time. An endless supply of laughter and carefree view of life have contributed to his unperturbable spirit.

ALAN BOLLES CARTER

98 East Pleasant Street Amherst, Mass.

Entered 1945; "Y" Cabinet 4; Glee Club 2, 3; Cheer Leader 2, 3, 4; Soccer 4 (W); Track 2 (W), 3 (W), 4 (W) Captain 4.

Although in heart a great sportsman, Al has maintained a respectable scholastic average all through his prep school career. His easy-going manner has given him the ability to overcome any impediments, whether they be soccer balls or wrestling opponents. An excellent leader, Al has gained himself the captaincy of the track team and a position on the Athletic Advisory Board. When not employed with the duties of the esteemed "Y" Cabinet, Al was often seen fooling around with "the Gang." Dependable and trustworthy, he could carry through successfully any job that he encountered.

PAIGE CEELY "Bob"

Colonial Village Williamstown, Mass.

Entered 1945; Willistonian 4; Log 4; Student Federalists 3; Band 2, 3, 4; Ski 4.

Progressive and outstanding in many fields at Williston, Bob has also become a friend of nearly everyone. A mellow trumpet, a pair of skis, or a flashy sportcoat are keynotes to his interests outside the curriculum. His faith in the "House of Walsh" was almost a legend. Studies found him a consciencious worker with a steady average. In leisurely hours, one could find Bob in some room of North's fourth floor, performing on his trumpet to the beat of a record or voicing a little of his philosophy of life.

ROBERT CLARE CLEMENTS "Clem"

338 Fern Street West Hartford, Conn.

Entered 1945; Glee Club 2.

Bob's three years at Willision have proved him to be an ideal student as far as study goes. There are few who can say that they applied themselves better than he, and this diligence on his part made him a steady student. Bob found an emotional outlet and valuable pastime in listening to inspiring classical music or by solving problems in current events. Many boys have come to respect him for his ability to study, and he will surely retain this respect in life. 4

DAVID KNOX CONNER "Dave"

57 Holyoke Street

Entered 1946; Willistonien News Editor 4.

Easthampton, Mass.

Easthampton made a welcome gift to Williston in the person of Dave Conner. A serious student, he spent much of his time studying some subject in the Dodge Room, where his amicable disposition served to surround him with friends. Although a day boy, Dave found time to take p part in the extra-curricular side of Williston. The Willistonian made use of his writing ability by making him a News Editor. Because of his dependable work in every undertaking, he will be trusted and liked in any society.

32 Brunswick Street

Pittsfield, Mass.

Entered 1944; Glee Club 1; Adelphi Gam ma-Sig me 4.

As a veteran of several years at Williston, Al proved to be imperturbable under the most trying circumstances and never became agitated in a crisis. From classroom to card game he amused everyone with a quiet and spontaneous humor. Even though he did not agree with homework, Al performed these duties faithfully and without questioning. Because of an easy and inherent friendliness, he was a likeable companion, and it is this quality which accounted for his unquestionable success.

ALAN ROGER COPELAND "Copone"

PETER KNIGHT CRONE "Salt"

Village Hill Williamsburg, Mass.

Entered 1944; Willistonian 3, 4; Dramatic Club 4; Soccer Manager 4 1W).

"Friend to all and enemy to none'' is a statement which characterizes Pete's four years at Williston. An accomplished prankster, his infectious laugh served to relieve the chagrin of his victims. Pete was a recognized wit and never missed an opportunity to voice some terse comment on nearly any subject. He has done much to liven daily life in school. All of his classmates will miss him greatly.

24 South Park Place

Longmeadow, Mass.

Entered 1946; Willistonian 3, 4, Feature Editor 4; Log 4; Adelphi Gamma-Sigma 4; Hobby Club 4; Student Federalists 3, 4; Football 3.4 (W).

One who enjoyed his weekends more than the average person, Dave, nevertheless, found time to delve into his homework and to hold down an influential job as Feature Editor of the Willistonian. At times, he could be found playing poker or borrowing money from the treasury of some friend. By dint of an extensive wardrobe, Dave received a reputation for being a natty dresser. The future holds much in store for him, for he is a conscientious and considerate fellow.

DAVID LOVEJOY CUNLIFFE "Dave"

WILLIAM LOUIS CURRAN, JR. "Bill"

Box 247 North Adams, Mass.

Entered 1946; Log 4; Adelphi Gamma-Sigma 4; Photography Club 4; Football 3, 4; Ski 3, 4.

Easy-going Bill Curran achieved popularity at Williston through his loyalty and good sense of humor. At ease amid any gathering, his voice could often be heard discussing the merits of the Irish or his devotion to, and understanding of, the Bennington girls. Bill became proficient in the art of skiing on the rolling hills of Vermont, and his excellence in this sport helped account for many victories of the ski team. With his inherent quality of blending into any society, Bill cannot fail to be popular anywhere.

JACK HERSH DEUTSCHMANN "J. D."

157 Woodcliff Road Newton Highlands, Mass.

Entered 1946; Willistonian 2; Log 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2; Dramatic Club 3; Adelphi Gamma-Sigma 4; Photography Club 4; Student Federalists 3, 4; Band 4; Tennis 3, 4.

To get an opinion on the Russian situation, Jack was the man to consult. As a matter of fact, he could render a well rounded commentary on practically any debatable question. He was a widely read fellow and enjoyed a good argument, a fact which explained his devotion to Adelphi Gamma-Sigma. Not only did Jack willingly join in verbal contests, but he was also eager to match his skill with any contender on the squash or tennis courts. Always good for a laugh, he could take a ribbing as well as hand one out.

"Scoop", Williston's ace photographer, could be found very often in the darkroom of Payson Hall. He was a familiar sight at all games, moving down the side lines with a purposeful stride, camera in hand. Scoop takes photography seriously, for he founded the Photography Club and held a position as Photography Editor of the Log. Those who have tried to pass a camera shop with him know how interested he is in new equipment.

Yet, with the coming of the winter season, he joined the rough and tumble hockey squad.

He proved himself deserving of honor grades by working assiduously, much of his spare time being spent in diligent study. Trustworthy and serious, Pete excelled also in activities outside the curriculum and held some honorary positions. In his lighter moments, Pete liked as well as anyone a practical joke or an argument over nothing in particular, though his hard-working spirit put business before pleasure.

A quiet person with a generous heart describes Bob Elliot. Bob has devoted his brilliant voice to the double quartet and his athletic prowess to the football, track, and ski teams. A master of the "88 keys", he was heard regularly trying out the latest numbers in the North Hall Common Room. His favorite pastimes were often either reading a novel or typing a paper in order to help out one of his friends.

Most people knew Dave by his efficient and timely bell tolling. An artist par excellence, his cartoons appeared in all the Willistonians, and he completed more serious art work as an editor of the Log. He carried over the deliberate qualities of the artist to everything he did. Though he was often slow, Dave's finished work showed precision and meticulous care. His powerful kick proved to be a help to the soccer team in the fall. Fitting in well with life in a dorm, he enjoyed a good tussle with a friend at any time.

PAUL FREDERICK FORTMILLER "Paul"

I I Jefferson Street Newark, N. Y.

Entered 1946: Willistonian 4: Glee Club 3, 4, Executive Committee 4; Double Quartet 4.

A combination of good nature and serious intention has won Paul many friends. His time at Williston has divided itself between visits to Smith College and the more serious business of study. He lent an excellent voice to the Glee Club and performed admirably as a member of the double quartet. Never one to reject a little fun, Paul was always eager for a good game of cards and usually came out ahead. His pleasant smile and polite manners have merited the esteem and regard of those who knew him.

98 Summer Street North Adams, Mass.

Entered 1943; Willistonian 4; Log 4; Glee Club 3, 4: Football Manager 4 (W); Basketball 2, 3.

During a long five years at Williston, "Gan" has combined diligence with his humorous good-nature to become a dependable student and friend of all. Whenever loud bursts of laughter were heard at Ford Hall bull sessions, he was inevitably there. His glib tongue, numerous facial contortions, and inexhaustible supply of jokes were an unfailing cause of delight. A co-ordinated left hand gave him athletic prowess on the basketball court or pitcher's mound. "Gan's" inherent quick wit will make him the life of any party.

Stan was one of the select little group of students who bore with pride his association with the state of New Jersey. One of the few natural athletes, he could excel in nearly any sport in which he participated for he received awards in four of Williston's major sports. Card games had a magnetic attraction for him, a weakness which at times detracted from his homework. Stan's antics put him in the limelight in the dorm, just as acting ability made his parts in Dramatic Club productions unforgettable.

Box 73, Main Street

Long Hill, Conn.

Entered 1946; Photography Club 4; Football 4 (WI; Track 3 (W), 4 (W).

Somerville, Mass.

Entered 1945; Log 4, Business Manager; Radio Club 4.

Few boys in the five o'clock chemistry class will ever forget the "mad chemist". If not concocting some peculiar gas which contained an unearthly odor, Jack would take pot shots at his fellow scientists with a homemade pop gun. Beneath this apparently carefree nature, however, lies his determination to succeed. He has achieved a reputation for excellence in French and, his forte being mathematics, has never refused the challenge ot a supposedly insolvable problem. Faithful and persevering are terms which best describe Jack, whose capabilities must bring him to success.

The sound of mutterings and rustlings of paper emamated from Austin's room on certain Wednesday afternoons. These noises were part of the periodical little drama which constituted the publication of the Willistonian. Ambitious and industrious, his job as Managing Editor of the paper was only one of the activities in which he participated while maintaining honor averages. Athletically inclined, Austin earned a letter in soccer and was a member of Williston's honored ski team. His ready smile made him known throughout the campus.

Barrington, Ill.

Entered 1945; Willistonian 3, 4, Business Manager 4; Log 3, 4, Associate Business Manager 4; Student Federalists 3; Soccer 3, 4.

George Hill was especially well known for his collection of Stan Kenton records and his translation of English slang into German—for example, "Tropfen Sie tot" which means "drop dead." However, his soccer playing and outstanding team spirit characterized him in all his efforts. Though he had a very quiet appearance, his intimate friends enjoyed his abounding good spirits. George's readiness to attend the always available bull sessions was the cause of many Saturday nights spent in his room. His keen sense of humor and his good nature made him one of the very popular boys at Williston.

Hailing from the deep South, Phil contributed his sparkling exuberance and slight accent to New England's Williston Academy. An advocate of hot jazz, his .verbal stamp of approval was, "That's gone, man." He worked studiously but learned to take things in his stride. A letter in soccer and high position on the Willistonian were proof of his ability along lines outside his studies. When Saturday night came, Phil usually spent his time in fairer company at Smith College. 1 2.1 13 • • •

ROBERT WARREN HISEY "Bob"

Post Office Enstra Via Springs, Transvaal, South Africa

Entered 1947; Willistonian 4; Log 4; Adelphi Gamma-Sigma 4.

Striving to uphold the record of First Honor boys in North Hall, Bob Hisey earned the title of "the brain." After he arrived late from South Africa, it soon became evident that Bob possessed one of the most astute minds at Williston. Since Bob was an accomplished punster, the corners of his mouth were often turned up in a sheepish grin at the expense of someone else. Few will forget the fun-loving little intellectual of North Hall.

20 Whittlesey Road Newton, Mass.

Entered 1944; Log 3, 4; Adelphi Gamma-Sigma I, 2; Soccer 3; Football 2, 4; Hockey 2, 3; Track I, 2, 3 (W), 4 (WI.

"Hoch" was one of the members of the Ford Hall senior group. Although no slouch at obtaining marks, Fred was one of those rare individuals who could obtain good grades with a minimum of effort. Possessed with a quick sense of humor and the gift of fluent speech, "Hoch" was probably best known for his inexhaustible supply of jokes—a quality popular at all bull sessions. Particularly noticeable were his accomplishments on the track, for he developed into a number one high-hurdler. Hailing from Boston, he has given many a fellow student a free pass to his reserved box at the "Old Howard."

FRED HOCHBERGER, JR. "Hoch"

156 Pleasant Street East Longmeadow, Mass.

Entered 1945; "Y" Cabinet 4; Log 4; Adelphi Gamma-Sigma 4; Football 4.

One of the quietest and most modest students, Jack has succeeded in maintaining a high average during the past three years. When he was not studying, he could be found in various South Hall rooms, either discussing some topic of current interest or "making hay" with the boys. His conscientiousness in tasks assigned to him, and his extreme willingness to help those in need, have perhaps been Jack's chief characteristics by which the school knew him.

Ellenham Road

Ruxton 4, Maryland

Entered 1946; Log 4, Associate Managing Editor; Photography Club 4.

Fate hid Pete lsburgh under a mask of a seemingly quiet character. Those who have known him more intimately, though, found an exuberance that was brought out in his ability to enjoy a good joke and burst into a gale of laughter. His room has been a center of activities, sometimes mischievous, but always in good humor, for the past two years. Blessed with six feet three inches and blond hair, he has been sought many times on campuses in nearby towns. Pete has that quietness and perseverance of character which will surely get him ahead in life.

PETER VAN BUREN ISBURG "Boss"

ROBERT WALTER JERZYK "Jerz"

166 Washington Street Wallingford, Conn.

Entered 1945; Willistonian 2, 3; Glee Club 2, 3.

A joke, followed by a high-pitched laugh, would probably lead you to Room 32 in Ford Hall, home of Bob Jerzyk. He has become known as one of the most quick-witted boys on the campus. Famous for many girl friends, his influence stretched from Burnham to Baldwin. Often the mail at Ford Hall could be divided into halves—half for Bob and the other half for the rest of the dorm. His ability lay not only along the lines of a comedian and woman-killer, but also as a student of good repute. In later life, his enthusiasm and wit will surely bring him lasting and deserved friendship.

320 Tolland Turnpike Manchester, Conn.

Entered 1944; Willistonian 4; Log 4, Associate Managing Editor; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Executive Committee 4; Double Quartet 4.

Perhaps Don's foremost interest was the Glee Club, an organization which Don has helped tremendously in his four years at Williston. However, his interests extended to his "Uncle Remus Tales" of many elaborate parties and of Manchester, which, according to Don, is the best little city in existence. He was one of the sharpest dressers in school but looked forward eagerly to a good tussle with any three or four fellows. His generosity and extreme wit, mixed with his fun-loving nature, were rendered to his larger host of friends among both students and faculty.

He dabbled in politics on Good Government Day because of his immense popularity.

Newark, N. J.

Entered 1946; Log 4, Associate Literary Editor; Adelphi GammaSigma 3, 4, President 4; Willistonian 3, 4; Dramatic Club 4; Band 3, 4.

The arrival of the weekly food supply to Room 36 always created a sensation in most of North Hall. George's main weakness was his inability to say "no" to the scavengers of the dorm. Aside from his generosity, helpfulness is one of his outstanding qualities. What time he did not spend in maintaining a good scholastic average was used up in his numerous extra-curricular activities. George was always ready to assume more than his share of a job and has contributed much to the school through good nature and hard work.

Studious, enterprising, and likeable, Mac presented a familiar figure around the campus. He associated himself with many activities, especially those requiring some skill in writing. With a genuine love of music, he added his voice to the Glee Club and increased the force of the band with the shrill tones of the flute. In French class Mac's purposely too liberal translations of the text indicated a playfulness that amused everyone and assured him of having an abundance of companions.

DALTON FINLEY McCLELLAND, JR. "Mac"

835 School Street Webster, Mass.

Entered 1946; Student Council 4: Cabinet Vice President 4; Glee Club 3, 4: Photography Club 41 Football 4.

Two years at Williston have won for Mac the respect and friendship of all his classmates.

By no means limited to the duties of the curriculum, he showed qualities of impartiality and helpfulness on two of the school's most influential organizations, the Student Council and the "Y" Cabinet. Future life holds no barriers for one who can apply himself as well as Mac.

Williamsburg, Mass.

Entered 1944; Log 1; Glee Club I, 2; Band I, 2, 4.

Mac distinguished himself in nearly all phases of Williston life. His profound loyalty to the school made him a logical choice for most of the organizations upon which its welfare depended. Having difficulty only in tying himself down to the rigidity of the curriculum, Mac worked at other activities with a faithfulness and vitality. Proof of his social prominence was the fact that he was present at all Williston dances. He will always be trusted for willingness to accept responsibility.

Millwood-Mt. Kisco Road

Chappacua, N. Y.

Entered 1945; "Y" Cabinet 3, 4; Willistonian 3, 4; Log Assistant Literary Editor 4; Glee Club 2; Hockey 4.

Without excess study Vick Mann has maintained one of the highest scholastic averages in the school. Despite his better than average achievements in everything he attempts, he is quiet and unassuming. Dick's room saw much activity during the year because of a large collection of Stan Kenton records; but he could easily complete an assignment for the Willistonian or other activity amid blaring trumpets. With his extraordinary brain capacity, no teat can be too difficult for him to accomplish.

217 Hampton Road Syracuse, N. Y.

Entered 1946; Class President 4; Willistonian 3, 4; Dramatic Club 4; Band 3, 4; Football 4; Hockey 3, 4 (W).

A boisterous laugh and mellow sax were Bob's familiar trademarks.

12 East Street Adams, Mass.

Entered 1944; Willistonian 3, 4; Log 3, 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Soccer Manager 2 (W). 4; Track 3 (W) 4 (W).

Since he was short, Henry really had to stretch his legs to place in the mile run during the track season. The energy that he put into this sport, however, was evident in all his actions. To school work and dramatic club productions alike, he devoted time and strict attention. Few Ford Hall boys can forget the mischievous Henry, who reigned as a liberal headwaiter. A cheery smile and quick greeting were fundamental to this serious-minded student.

Not hindered by being a day student, Gordon, who was known for his generosity, was always seen helping someone out. One of Gordon's familiar pastimes was hopping aboard firetrucks which whisked him away to the fire. His jovial and fun-loving personality accounted for the numerous friends he had on and off the campus. When not playing his clarinet in the band or blowing up test tubes in the chemistry lab, he was usually seen sporting that infectious grin that truly characterizes him.

To Chuck there was a time and place for everything, and he made sure that work and recreation never interfere() with one another. His ability to succeed in whatever he did made him a successful track man and competent Managing Editor of this year's yearbook.

CURTIS HAMBLETON RICHARDS "Curt"

Chicopee, Mass.

Entered 1946; Student Council 4; Honor Board 4; Baseball 3 (W), 4 (W), Captain 4.

Quiet and resourceful, Curt set an enviable record in honor marks. Shining in studies and on the baseball diamond in the spring, he was, nevertheless, thoroughly modest. He never spoke ill of anyone, and this, coupled with a natural sincerity, accounted for his many friends. Curt spent his time in effective study, but any available week-ends found him at home. As a member of the Student Council and Honor Board, he displayed a fairness and seriousness for which many know him.

Whether studying for an exacting exam or competing in a game of basketball, Jerry Shaw maintained an equanimity and ease which was characteristic of him. This calmness accounted in part for his ability in basketball and his captaincy of the tennis team. Vastly popular with his fellow students, Jerry's room was often the scene of much activity during the period for crackers and milk. Many will long remember Jerry, however, for his very infectious dry wit, a quality which made him much in demand at bull sessions.

Holden, Mass.

Recognized master of guns, bullets, and cars was undisputably Les Spofford. "Trigger's" hair-raising stories of his adventures with guns and automobiles will never be forgotten by members of Ford Hall.

Wherever he may go next fall, he will prove himself the friendly, intelligent fellow he showed himself to be in past years.

Larry, who hides a seriousness of purpose beneath a playful cynicism, has been dubbed "Barrel" in deference to his rather obese frame. He was nearly always associated with any mischievous pranks that might happen in the dorm, but spent enough spare time on homework so that his good scholastic average did not suffer. The Brooklyn Dodgers gave him the greatest concern in the field of sports. The baseball season each year brought him renewed faith in them, and he used his quickness of tongue in a sardonic quip to silence disparagers.

In two years at Williston, quiet Spen gained everyone's friendship with a modest and amiable air. Sports broadcasts intrigued him a great deal, but much of his time was also spent in studying about the kings of England. Native ease and co-ordination made athletics his most successful field. Besides excelling in three major sports, he was elected to a coveted position on the Athletic Advisory Board. On or off the field, Spen's name was synonomous with integrity and friendship.

CHARLES DAVID WESCOTT "Waistcoat"

27 Litchfield Avenue

Southbridge, Mass.

Entered 1945; Student Council President 4; "Y" Cabinet 3, 4, President 4; Honor Board 4; Willistonian 3, 4, Sports Editor 47 Glee Club 2, 3, 4, Vice President 4; Cheer Leader 3, 4.

Foremost in the esteem of his fellow students, Dave won a reputation for being a good citizen. Being President of the Student Council gave him the type of responsibility for which he was suited. He set an example for the student body by his own exemplary conduct. Genuinely faithful and hardworking, he used his ability as Sports Editor on the Willis, tonian. Dave's interest in the organizations to which he belonged typifies a loyal outlook. Despite his being busy, however, he could inevitably find time to drop in on a friend to discuss the relative merits of the Burnham girls.

WILLIAM ERNEST WILDER "Bill"

1027 Main Street Dalton, Mass.

Entered 1946; Dramatic Club 4; Football 3, 4 (W); Baseball 3.

Bill, the man who blows a mean trumpet, was one of the most popular and likeable boys in school. Endowed with great ability, he has proved himself in whatever he has undertaken, whether it be academic or extra-curricular. This year he distinguished himself in the Dramatic Club and has shown great promise in that line. Very versatile, he can play a shrewd game of bridge, golf with the best, and hit the line with skill and power in football. Bill will make out well at Annapolis next year and will be a success in his life's work.

21 Canby Street

JOSEPH WONSIK ''Dick'

Holyoke, Mass.

Entered 1947; Glee Club 4; Adelphi Gamma-Sigma 4; Football 4.

Dick was one of the most outstanding of Williston's hearty body of Holyoke delegates. Through a good sense of humor and generosity, he became extremely popular in a short time. His love of a good joke and willingness to entertain with a witticism of his own made him a welcome addition to any bull session. Dick's serious side was prevalent during study hours, when he applied himself to homework with true zeaL He is an active follower of the doctrine that there is a proper time for everything.

RICHARD

CARLTON FRED WOODHOUSE 'Porky''

19 Benton Street Manchester, Conn.

Entered 1943; Willistonian I, 2, 3, 4, Business Manager 3; Log I, 2, 3, 4, Business Manager 3; Adelphi Gamma-Sigma 1, 2, 3, Secretary 3; Soccer 2, 3 (W), 4 1W); Baseball Manager 2 (W).

The gift of gab and fondness of a joke have secured a number of fast friends for "Porky" Woodhouse. A small group would often assemble in his room where, with goodnatured cynicism, "Porky" offered a native conversational wit and humor. His rise from Atom Smasher soccer to a position on the first team typifies his ability to make good. He has held the position of Business Manager of both the Willistoman and the Log because of a clear business head. His humorous antics have made everyone familiar with him.

BRUCE ALLYN YARBER "Bruce"

28 Liberty Street Holyoke, Mass.

Entered 1945; Willistonian 2, 3, 4, Circulation Manager 3, Assistant Business Manager 4; Log 3, 4, Editor in Chief 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4.

Bruce's room was one of the most frequented in North Hall. Whether studying or not, he could usually spare the time for a chat or to amuse friends with a grotesque imitation of someone, complete with vocal peculiarities. In a more serious vein, his extra-curricular efforts have been marked by success. Maintaining good marks has not been an oppressive task for Bruce, since he completed homework assignments with diligence and attention. Without doubt, he will experience in his career the same gratifying results as at school.

August Graduates

Payman Trading Co., 160 Broadway New York, N.Y.

Entered 1947.

An imperturable spirit was responsible for Joe's bearing disappointment and good fortune with equal composure. Good or poor exam marks aroused only a shrug of his shoulders. Even though Persian was his native tongue, he soon became quite proficient in the use of English slang. The sciences, however, held more interest than other subjects for Joe. With an inherent friendliness, he has amassed a large number of friends and will continue to make more in the future.

2490 Tracy Place Washington, D. C.

Entered 1947; Glee Club 3.

Upon his arrival with a brother from Siam, Nick developed rapidly certain interests that America offers, among these photography and model airplane building. Since then these activities have occupied most of his spare moments. He was usually quiet and reserved amid a gathering, but Nick's group of intimate acquaintances found him humorous. His name was never on the bounds list, because he used the alloted study periods to good advantage. Few will forget his agreeable politeness.

SHAHPOOR FARHADI "Joe"

SNAN NAPASAB "Nick"

22 School Street

Entered 1945; Willistonien 3.

Easthampton, Mass.

During several years at Williston, Neil has become best known for his playful antics and sense of humor. Out of class he was inevitably an eager aspirant to any harmless joke being played on a classmate. In the serious vein, he took care that school work should come before activities of less importance. Through a ready smile that typifies good nature, "Pep" has earned the friendship of everyone.

Afghan American Trading Co., Inc.

226 West 30th Street

Entered 1946; Glee Club 3.

New

York, N. Y.

Abs loyalty and aimiable disposition made his friendship valued during his stay at Williston. Although handicapped by a limited knowledge of English when he arrived from Afganistan, his faithful work kept him apace with his schoolmates. When study hour did not beckon Ab to his room, however, he engaged readily in any sport that might be going on in the dorm. Such a likeable first-floor occupant of North Hall cannot fail to be missed.

Senior Prom Committee

The Senior Prom Committee is one whose importance is often not fully recognized. With Phil Hill as chairman, Al Waite, Bob Dewhurst, Dave Conner, and Phil Lyman aided greatly in arranging the promenade which was held on May seventh this year. Under the capable direction of Mr. Lincoln D. Granniss, they planned and carried out every detail for the occasion.

The dance was held in the Recreation Center which was fittingly decorated with shrubbery and blue and gold ornamentations. Bill Hamilton's famed "Arcadians" supplied the music for the many couples who attended.

This year's Prom Committee should be completely satisfied for they saw their hard work enjoyed and appreciated by all who attended, but especially by the Seniors.

Honor

Formed at Williston only one year ago, the Honor Board coped successfully with problems of serious misconduct. As a small and informal group, the Board can often help settle problems with a boy without inflicting punishment. Habitual offenders are referred to the Student Council or Faculty.

Only seniors who are members of the Student Council or "Y" Cabinet may be selected for the .

Board

Board. Because of these restrictions, only those who are recognized as helpful and serious in purpose hold positions on it.

The idea for such a group originated at the New England Preparatory School Conference of 1946, which several "Y" Cabinet members attended. Many other schools had similar boards working effectively, and Williston found the Honor Board a preventive for the violation of rules.

Student Council

The Student Council has long been one of the most important student organizations in the school. Composed of boys elected by classmates, the group has members whose popularity and integrity make them leaders. It serves as a reminder of the school's regulations and doles out punishment for infractions of the rules.

Council members have varied duties to perform. Supervision of the gymnasium on Sunday afternoons, the bed check in the morning, and maintaining order in the milk line are among these

many obligations.

Although the organization exercises a disciplinary function, its chief purpose is to protect the interests of the student body and to form an understanding between students and faculty.

The Council for the past year has had capable leadership under Dave Wescott, president, Grant MacMackin, vice-president, and Curt Richards, secretary. Mr. Lossone aided greatly in advising the group.

"Y" Cabinet

For the past year the "Y" Cabinet has completed an excellent job, both in providing entertainment for the students and in performing charitable work. This organization promoted the "Y" reception at the beginning of the year, enabling old and new students to become acquainted with each other. It was also responsible for school dances, the athletic smokers, and the serving of cocoa after athletic contests with other schools.

As the school's chapter of the well-known Y.M.C.A., the "Y" Cabinet did a great deal of charitable work. This work consisted of sending money, food, and supplies to schools in France and Greece. Clothes were sent to students of other European countries. The collection of clothes from the student body aided greatly in this help.

Under the leadership of Dave Wescott, president; Donald McEwen, vice-president: and Bob Doolittle, secretary; and because of the active interest taken by Mr. Granniss, the faculty adviser, the "Y" Cabinet was not lacking in leadership.

Glee Club

With a large 1947-1948 turn-out, the Glee Club upheld its record as the most popular extra-curricular activity of the school. Frequent Tuesday and Friday night rehearsals taught the organization to sing in unison and with strength.

The club was seriously handicapped when Mr. Rouse, who had directed it for years, fell ill. In the absence of Mr. Rouse, Mr. Teller assumed the task of superintending the customary concert program. Mr. Curtiss finished his second year of service as accompanist.

Religious chorals, hymns, folk songs, negro spirituals, and selections from lolanthe constituted the

extensive repertoire which the Glee Club rendered to its audiences. The concert season opened at Hopkins Academy, where the boys were received with enthusiasm. A mid-week concert at the Easthampton Congregational Church followed. In Southampton, the group made its final appearance at the Congregational Church.

At each of these concerts, the double quartet sang at intervals during the program. Donald Knofla and Robert Elliot were soloists for the year. Don sang "The Three Grenadiers" and "Wher'er You Walk" while Bob sang a solo called "Go Down, Moses" with the Glee Club.

STANDING: Rosner, Eaby, Pomeroy, J. Stevens, Capece. SEATED: G. Liss, Ceely, Beach, Burrows, Mr. Teller.

The Band

At each Saturday morning rally the Williston band helped to bolster the morale of the school by playing a number of spirited songs. By playing at most fall and winter contests, the band also contributed a great deal of enthusiasm for the teams. Since its origin the band has continued in this way to increase its prominence as a most important organization.

Mr. Teller assumed the direction of the band, and much credit goes to him for its success. The returning members of last year's band, together with some new talent, formed a very potent aggregation. Veteran bandsmen were Burrows, Ceely, Eaby, and Stevens on the trumpets; Beach on the trombone, Prochnow on the clarinet; G. Liss on the piccolo; Millington on the saxophone; and Capece, Deutschmann, Gustafson, and McLeod on the drums. New members were Pomeroy and Rosner on the trumpets, Lunn on the trombone, and Todd on the drums.

From material on this year's band originated a group called the "Syracusans." Mr. Curtiss piano playing was a very important addition to the music of the "Syra,cusans." Besides playing at dances, they even appeared at some games during basketball season.

Adelphi Gamma Sigma

an active gathering

The Adelphi's 1947-1948 season was marked by an interest and co-operation that paved the way to a well-organized discussion group. Under the officerships of George Liss, Warren Buchanan, and Bruce Thomas, the debating club showed a thoughtful consideration of many current world problems. For the second half year, the Adelphi members chose Bruce Thomas, George Liss, and Philip Hill as officers. This last half year proved fully as successful as the first in its goal to maintain of debaters.

The meetings of the Adelphi were held every Friday night in the Adelphi room of Middle Hall. Under the capable guidance of Messrs. Thomas and Lawton, the club was advised on the many difficult and controversial issues.

The Adelphi is a popular organization in Williston and provides an outlet for those boys who desire a means for self-expression. The pitch of enthusiasm reached during many of the debates was unsurpassed by any other club.

Dramatic Club

Most noteworthy of the achievements wrought by Mr. Boardman with the Dramatic Club was his molding a talented group of boys whose acting mettle had not hitherto been tested. With the competent assistance of Mr. Hossman, he directed three short plays in the fall and brought a successful season to a close with the March 5 production of "Janie," put on in conjunction with the Mask and Wig of the Northampton School for Girls.

Bob Millington, Bill Wilder, Scotty Merrow, Lindy Hanson, President Grant MacMackin, and Stan Gedney gave memorable performances in the fall plays. Through the results of these plays, Mr. Boardman ferreted out the type of acting ability that made "Janie" an indisputable hit.

Because of a supposed fire hazard from the scenery at the Recreation Center, the "Janie" production took place in the Northampton High School Auditorium. This very modern stage gave the able electricians an opportunity to display their ability in lighting to the full advantage. Complicated properties were handled efficiently by Paul Marko and Peter Crone.

The greatest surprise performance in acting grace was executed by little Patty Babcock, whose part as a mischievous younger sister gained untold eulogy. Other commendable actors were Bob Millington, Joe Stevens, Scotty Merrow, Ray Wallace, and Grant MacMackin.

The Log

Into the publication of a yearbook like the Log goes a great amount of hard work by the members of the various departments. A Log distinctive from previous years requires much thought and care in the many details that make for originality.

With the aid of the different department heads, Bruce Yarber, Editor-in-Chief of the Log, and Mr. Johnston, faculty advisor, have attempted to improve wherever possible on former publications. At the same time, the staff has striven to maintain the high standards that have characterized the Log after its beginning in 1902.

The Literary Department continued as customary with senior write-ups and reports on extra-curricular activities. In the planning of the yearbook, the Editor-in-Chief has worked closely with the Managing Department for an original lay-out. By managing the funds of the yearbook, the Business Department has made possible the realization of

many ideas. Since photography plays a large part in the success of this volume, the Photography Department has done its best to develop clear and varied scenes of school life. Art in a yearbook has an opportunity to give it a distinctive touch, and many ideas have originated in the Art Department.

There remains something more to be said in praise of the Editor-in-Chief and in explanation of his responsibility. The job of correlating the material of each department and of instructing them in their respective duties falls under his tasks. Bruce Yarber remained faithful to his position in every respect.

Everyone on the Log staff feels appreciation also for the suggestions and experienced effort with which Mr. Johnston helped guide the book to completion.

WILLISTONIAN OFFICIALS

The WILLISTONIAN staff changed quite distinctly during its past year. It shifted not in the respect of policy and caliber of writing so much as C'N• in the functions of the executive staff. The greatest 21/4,0 change was, perhaps, the better distribution of the work.

William H. Hawley

Through hard work by Austin Heath, Managing Editor, the newspaper reached its greatest capacity. Others responsible for the Editorial Board's continuation of good policy were David Wescott, Sports Editor; Richard Alpert, Copy Editor; David Cunliffe, Feature Editor; and Peter Dunk and David Conner, News Editors.

A great advance was made this year in news coverage outside the WILLISTONIAN. The results of all athletic contests were accurately and promptly

received by many newspapers. This job was taken over by the Sports Editor, relieving Philip Hill, Executive Editor, of some work and making it possibe for a better arrangement in the typewriting department.

Through Business Manager Howard Hetzler, the WILLISTONIAN Business Staff greatly increased cdv the quality and profit from advertisements, thus putting the paper's income ahead of last year's publication.

The WILLISTONIAN has tried to do careful and precise work in bringing the news to the students. In each issue, the staff gave original and interesting features combined with the traditional news columns.

Members of the Radio Club, under the leadership of President Headle and Secretary-Treasurer Reid, increased their store of knowledge and the activity of the club. Under the auspices of this organization, the student body also profited by several didatic films on radio. Much credit is due Mr. Bray, whose expert guidance and sound knowledge as faculty adviser made possible as instructive year.

Sunday noon meetings in the Physics laboratory included the building and servicing of radios, a study of the theory of radio, and a course in code. The remainder of the time was employed in gaining practical experience in the use of two round-theworld receiving sets.

Among the numerous improvements of the Radio Club were plans for several members to take exams for the operation of a transmitting set. Valuable experience along this line was afforded the members by a trip to a local radio station.

Photography Club

Williston's newest organization is the Photography Club, which was organized only this year. A large number of boys joined this club and each in his own way has helped to make it a success. Its functions include such divers activities as furnishing pictures for both the Log and the Willistonian. Various contests have been held in order to secure photographs of the highest quality both for our two publications and for the benefit of the members. The meetings were held on Wednesday evenings, and, at various times, the club was fortunate in having outside speakers come in to give interesting talks about the elements of photography.

Thanks to veteran photographers Bob Dewhurst, Al Waite, and Chuck Reid, and to Mr. Luce for his help, the club has become a highly successful organization, and its popularity is certain to increase even more in future years.

Cheerleaders

School spirit plays an important part in the success of a school's athletic teams, and the cheerleaders do an essential job in bolstering enthusiasm. This year's morale boosters were Burrows, P. Hill, Wescott, Abbot, Adelson, Andrews, Alan Carter, Heavens, Jenness, B. Levin, Perkins, and Rouse. Led by this energetic group, students of Williston cheered on the football team to a host of victories which made up an undefeated season. Besides being present at all the first team games possible during the course of the year, the cheerleaders stirred the competitive spirit to a peak of the familiar Saturday morning rallies.

Football

Coached by Messrs. Lash, Gebhard, and Luce the Williston Wildcats finished their first undefeated football season in fifty-two years. The team, with co-captains Lindy Hanson and Grant MacMackin, ended the season with only a tie with Deerfield marring the record.

Opening the season on their home field, the Wildcats met a large aggressive Vermont squad. Early in the game, however, Williston showed its supremacy by shooting Lindy Hanson off to score twice, but each time the tally was called back because of offsides. In the last quarter Hanson intercepted a Vermont pass near mid-field and darted all the way back for his first official tally. Late in the period Williston received the ball on downs at the Vermont forty and Hanson scored in two plays. Al Waite made the placement, and the final score became 13-0. Outstanding that afternoon on the defense was line backing center Jim Ubertalli.

The next Saturday, Williston traveled north to meet a highly-favored Mount Hermon team. Before the first quarter had been going five minutes, fullback Grant MacMackin grabbed a Hermon pass

and chugged down to the Hermon nineteen yard line. From there it was easy for Lindy Hanson to sweep around right end, where Larry Mason was doing some excellent blocking. Throughout the first half, Herman plunged mercilessly down the field but the Williston line always seemed to hold fast when Hermon approached our goal. In the second quarter Hanson hauled down a Hermon toss and scampered eighty yards for Williston's second and last touchdown. For the second half Hermon went back to their line crashing and found that Booper Laprade and Stan Gedney were too much tackle to cope with. Then Hermon tossed more passes. One of these was completed and accounted for a Hermon score.

Back on home grounds again the Wildcats swamped a hard-fighting Monson team 18-6. Hanson scored all -three of Williston's touchdowns with an end run and a pass interception tallying in the first quarter and a twenty yard run in the fourth. Cohen scored Monson's lone touchdown in the fourth period on a sweep around left end. One noticeable factor of the game was the increasing

ease which Wally Novak developed in each game as he handled the ball from the quarterback slot in the "T". Also Tony Giangrasso deserves a lot of credit for his splendid job at fullback against Monson, while MacMackin remained on the bench because of injuries.

In the big game of the year Deerfield was able to chalk up a 7-7 tie against the Wildcats. Jerry O'Toole and Lindy Hanson gained ground steadily throughout the first quarter, but neither one of them could score. Then in the second quarter Bill Wilder got off one of his bullet passes with three men on him to Lindy Hanson, who leaped high in the air to grab the ball. Lindy then completed a pass in the end zone to the glue-fingered end, Scotty Merrow. Hanson converted and the score stood at 7-0 for the Blue and Gold. The ball see-sawed back and forth until the last quarter when Deerfield opened up a terrific passing attack, and Monahan found holes in the Williston line. These combined attacks finally netted Deerfield their touchdown after which they tied the score by kicking the extra point.

Under a steady downpour of rain the Blue and Gold downed a rugged Suffield eleven, 7-0. Hanson scored early in the first stanza on a play through Stan Gedney's tackle and Grant MacMackin bucked the line for the extra point. The remainder of the contest was fairly even with Williston holding a slight edge because of Hanson's superb punting and

running and MacMackin's line bucking.

For the final tilt of the season the Wildcats traveled to Wilbraham and completed the' undefeated season with a 20-6 victory. During the first half neither team showed any scoring power. Jerry O'Toole, however, was injured and had to be taken out of the game. His replacement, Don Ostrander, really was clicking that day and much of the credit of the victory is due Don. In the third period Piscushas of Wilbraham climaxed a sixty yard drive by racing thirty-six yards for the touchdown. The Wilbraham team lined up for the kick off overflowing with confidence after scoring on the undefeated Williston team before Williston itself had scored. Lindy Hanson took the ball on his own seven and galloped with it ninety-three yards for a touchdown. In the fourth quarter Williston had the ball on the Wilbraham twenty-five yard stripe. Ostrander caught a short pass and ran to the three. From thee MacMackin plunged over for the score, and Hanson made good the placement. The Wildcats were out front 13-6. MacMackin eventually made another touchdown, which, with Hanson's conversion, made the last victory of the year.

At the annual smoker Lindy Hanson was awarded the gold football as the most valuable player on the team. Lindy also won first place in the Mills Kicking Contest for the second straight year. Next year co-captains elect Scotty Merrow and Doug Wallace will try to lead the team to another undefeated season.

Soccer

The Soccer Team, handicapped by a nucleus of only Three returning lettermen, garnered a split record for the season, winning four, losing four, and tying one.

Coached by Messrs. Babcock, Boardman, and Laurent, and led by Captain Dave Beach, the squad started well by winning three of its first four games. One of the victories was over a highly skilled Suffield Academy by a score of I-0. The fourth game was a hard-fought 0-0 tie with an expert Monson Team.

The Blue and Gold next lost to a strong Springfield College J.V. group, 2-0, whose age and experience proved formidable. Two more 2-0 games in a row went to Deerfield Academy and Worcester Academy. In the Worcester game Captain Beach booted several kicks which missed tallying by inches. The defensive play of Doolittle and Bruno highlighted the spirit in the Deerfield game.

During the season, the forward line consisted of Beach, Carter, Ekblom, Shuttleworth, and Mainzer at the inside

position, with Handy, Woodhouse, and Tucker on the wings. Despite excellent co-operation and teamwork, scoring power was greatly lacking to the squad.

Credit for much of the team's success goes to the strong defense. Halfbacks were Y. Napasab, G. Hill, lordanopoulos, and Prochnow. The three inner defensemen, Bruno and Doolittle at fullbacks and Spen Warnick in the goal, were newcomers to the game but played effectively to keep scoring against Williston at a minimum.

Of the last two games, the Blue and Gold won one and lost the other.

Wilbraham provided the largest scoring game of the year when the Williston team came out on top by 4-0. The offensive work of Beach and Shuttleworth, who together scored three goals, was supported by Warnick's agility in the goal. A loss was suffered at the hands of Mt. Hermon, who capitalized on a Williston mistake to score a penalty kick.

Basketball

A brilliant basketball club took the floor for Williston for its first game on January 10 and emerged from the season on March 6 with a final record of thirteen wins and one loss. Unbeaten until its last game, the team displayed a speedy, sharp-shooting quintet which well deserved its fine record.

Led by Captain Hanson's excellent offensive and defensive work, Williston rolled over Vermont Academy in its first game, 51-35. Novak, McGrath, Gedney, and Hanson provided power to stop the Amherst Frosh, Stockbridge, Suffield and Cranwell were beaten in rapid succession. The Suffield game was a thriller when Williston just nosed out this school by one point in the last few minutes of the game. Twenty points by Novak were paramount in the defeat of Mount Hermon, whose scrappy five kept the margin of the Williston men down to 4 points.

Deerfield's players, exponents of the fast break, were beaten handily in the first game 60-45. The scoring was dominated by Novak, Laprade, and McGrath, while Monahan played well for Deerfield. In the second game, the accurate shotting of the entire team made the contest a runaway for Williston.

Between the two Deerfield games, the blue and gold trounced a comparatively inexperienced Mon-

son team with Novak racking up twenty points. Loomis then fell prey to the home team partly because of Warnick's stellar performance. Novak and Laprade shared scoring honors when Kingswood took a licking, 46-30.

In one of the best games of the year Williston luckily walked off the Wilbraham court with a hardfought victory 40-38. Over-confidence in the second half cost them many points in the decisive lead as Wilbraham's Charbonneau went to town with his one-handed shots. The following Saturday brought out the strength of the Wilbraham club, for it completely swamped the wildcats in a torrid struggle. Charbonneau and Eldrich supplied Wilbraham's deadly scoring power.

The nearly perfect season speaks itself for the prowess of the basketball team. Led by Novak in the scoring departments, Hanson, Laprade, Warnick, McGrath, and Gedney combined to produce a formidable scoring threat from any position. McGrath accounted for much success through his superior ball handling, play handling, and scoring ability. The sterling defensive play of captain Hanson and Laprade was also a major factor behind Williston's consistent winning. Backed by Shaw and Richards, the team had skilled substitutes on which to call. The results of the 1947-1948 basketball team form a record of which Williston can be proud.

Hockey

To the strains of Coach Lossone's encouraging phrases, the Williston hockey team was formed around a nucleus of only four returning lettermen. This fact did not discourage them from enjoying a fairly good season, though, for every game was well fought, and the victor merited his glory.

With captain Bob Doolittle centering the first line, the team could not ask for more spirit and fight. The shift of MacMackin and Millington after two games from defense to wing rounded out the first line and definitely added to the strength of the group. The second line consisted entirely of boys from last year's second squad, who, although lack-

ing in experience, fought hard at every match.

The most dubious position of the team at the season's beginning was the goalie slot. Two finds, however, in Ekblom, and Robbins saved the day. With Dumke and Duncan in the defensive roles, the inner defense of the team was quite formidable.

A noteworthy occasion of the season was the defeat of Deerfield during a blinding snowstrom. Of all the opponents Williston faced, Wilbraham was undoubtedly the strongest, pouring in five goals in the last ten minutes to win 9-2. The record of the team ended in 3 won-5 lost.

Ski Team

After a month's hard work of clearing the slope and building a jump, the Williston Ski Team daunched its most successful season since skiing became an organized sport at Williston.

Along with the regular cross-country slalom, and down-hill events, the jumping event was added after the completion of the new jump. With little expense, Williston Skiers managed to hold their own in the field against teams of veteran jumpers.

The returning members of last year's team, Captain Beach, Curran, Heath, and Brown strengthened by four new members, D. Wallace, Tremaine, Elliot, and Peterson, went through a season of six meets undefeated. The teams defeated were The University of Massachusetts Freshmen, Deerfield, Mount Hermon, Choate, Kingswood, and Loomis.

Two of the meets, Deerfield and Kingswood, were won by a margin of 2 points. The down-hill and slalom events were the point-winning events for the Williston team. In the Mount Hermon meet all four first places were taken in the cross-country by the

Hermonites, but Williston skiers were strong enough in the down-hill slalom and jumping to win the meet by a large margin. The Loomis and University of Mass, meets were won easily, with Williston taking all of the first places in each event. In the Choate meet, Williston proved the victor by taking all the places in the down-hill and holding strong in the slalom and jumping contests.

Much of the success of the team was due to the coaching of Mr. Babcock, Mr. Hossman, and Mr. Bray, who spent a great deal of their time working with the team and conducting the meets.

The second and third teams also had a fairly successful season, competing along with the first team and also winning one of their two scheduled meets with Eaglebrook. During the past few years Skiing has risen from a minor sport to one of the largest athletic Organizations of the school. Because of the interest the students have shown in skiing, and because of the fine equipment and facilities for skiing, it is hoped that it will become a recognized major sport in the near future.

Athletic Advisory Board

The Athletic Advisory Board consists of eight members—four of them coaches and the remaining four students representing each of Williston's dormitories. The students are selected for their athletic prowess and knowledge of sports.

The chief duty of the Board is the choosing of those who should receive athletic letters. The members must also decide upon the head managers of the major sports. Both of these decisions require

a unanimous vote—a fact which testifies to the merit of one who receives an athletic award.

The faculty members of the Athletic Advisory Board for the past year were Coaches Hepworth, Lash, Lossone, and Putnam. Representing the students were Alan Carter from South Hall, Grant MacMackin from North Hall, Spencer Warnick from Ford Hall, and Robert Laprade representing Payson Hall and the day boys.

Baseball

At the time of this writing the baseball team has not yet seen much action in competition, but the team is shaping up to be as good, if not better, than that of last year.

Among the returning lettermen, Captain Curt Richards is a standout, of course, on second base. Lindy Hanson is the other half of a good second base combination. Converted outfielder Grant MacMackin is due to put in much time on the mound with his ability for throwing a fast ball and pitching a deadly curve.

Although there are only these three lettermen returning to the squad, new material this year is due to help the team immeasurably. In Wally Novak, catcher, and Brad McGrath, pitcher, are

found the most promising of the candidates. The competition for first and third base will be keen, with Stan Gedney and Larry Mason trying out at the initial sack, and Al Shuttleworth, Frank Sheils, and Key Gormley vying for a position at third.

All the outfielders are new on the Williston team, the standouts being Scotty Merrow, Al Ekblom, and Jack Germaine.

With capable reserves on the bench, this team will probably turn in a very favorable record when the season is over. The coaching staff, led by Mr. Lash and strengthened by the addition of Mr. Gebhard, has on its hands a group of spirited players, all eager to win as many games as possible.

The tennis team for this year is due to be formed around the two returning lettermen, Captain Jerry Shaw and Bob Doolittle. These two skilled players can be counted on to inspire the new members of the squad.

John Bruno, who has played much before, is expected to make a praiseworthy showing on the courts. The two Brabant brothers, Jacques and Yvan, promise to bring power to the team, since both show excellent form in pre-season matches. Other aspirants for the sixth position include Dave

Evans, Rick Mainzer, Dalt McClelland, and Perry Ritter. Altogether, Coach Hepworth has a very large and eager group of boys from which to choose the team. Around two, lettermen, he must form a team of twelve, out of which six will play in the coming contests.

Aided by the early availability of the courts, the team has had more time to practice than last year's team, and hence the season's record should display a number of wins.

The Captain Demonstrates Track

The Williston track team is looking forward to a season that will do honor to its three year record of undefeated meets. Although most of the squad is composed of last year's veterans, some new material promises to bring added strength to the team.

Captain Al Carter leads the team in the dashes and low hurdles. "Red" Williams, Dave Beach and Fred Hochberger constitute more strength in these two departments. Joe Stevens and neWcomer Wally Sweet will take care of the half-mile run. There is a lack of experienced men to run the mile race, but Henry Poirier will fortify a group of new candidates in this event. Phil Lyman heads a

formidable array of sprinters for the 220 and 440 yard runs.

Dave Beach, Tony Giangrasso, Fred Hochberger, "Red" Williams, Don Ostrander, and Al Carter are of proven ability in the various field events. In addition, Bob Laprade shows ability in the shot put. Ray CoIler, who is new to the track team, has had previous experience in pole vaulting.

Mr. Putnam has the capable coaching assistance of Messrs. Babcock, Laurent, and Luce in coaching this year's team. With typical enthusiastic training, the Blue and Gold cindermen can not fail to achieve an admirable record.

Minor Athletics

Williston Academy offers a system of minor athletics which is advantageous to both the student and the school. This system is one of compulsory athletics for everyone, with students divided into groups according to size and ability.

All these minor teams receive instruction from competent coaches and are furnished with athletic equipment by the school. Each boy, therefore, has an opportunity to compete with other schools in

his respective sport. These minor teams contribute greatly in establishing the good reputation for sportsmanship of the school. They also help provide first team material by developing athletic skill.

An inter-dorm contest offers a chance for everyone to gain glory for his respective dormitory— North, Ford, or South. The winning dorm receives a banner for the best record in a series of athletic events in which all the students participate.

The Cabin Log Cabin

The Log Cabin, whose upkeep falls under the care of the "Y" Cabinet, is nestled among the trees in the picturesque countryside of Easthampton. Outfitted with eleven beds, a stove, and a plentiful supply of cooking utensils, it provides an ideal place for picnics and camping on weekends.

Many students have accompanied Mr. Granniss on enjoyable hikes to the cabin. In winter the trek is along a well-broken trail for snowshoeing or crosscountry skiing. Spring jaunts to the cabin have instilled in many boys reminisences of the lively brook and sumptuous snacks. Those who have visited it will remember it as a haven of fun and relaxation.

An Appreciation
