For his wholesome sincerity in all things at all times
For his ever willingness to be helpful
For his thorough knowledge of mathematics and ability to impart to others
For his keen sense of humor and inspiration to those in his classes
For his sternness of character and friendly advice
The senior class of 1952 wishes for him many happy years of activity and good health and it is with unbounded admiration that we hereby dedicate this 50th ANNIVERSARY EDITION of THE LOG to Melvin Jesse Cook.
PREFACE
In the year 1902 a group of Williston faculty and students held a meeting to lay plans for publishing a school annual. Contained in the foreword of that yearbook is the following sentence: "Hoping that this book will serve its intended purpose, we submit the first publication of the Log."
Fifty years have passed since that first publication, and during these fifty years a great many changes have been made. As the world has modernized so has the Log. In the first publication, emphasis was more on written editorials and other long articles than on pictures. Gradually, thc tendency has been to increase the number of pictures including many snapshots and other informals combined with rather short concise written articles.
The kind of cover and other features of the Log have kept pace, over the years, with the best tastes in modern yearbooks. This practice, which still continues today, has greatly enhanced the beauty of the Log, which each year becomes a valued treasure of the graduating class.
This year, 1952 is the GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY of THE LOG. On the cover and throughout the pages of the book we have endeavored to portray this fact as the theme of the Log.
All members of the Log staff hereby express their sincere appreciation and thanks to students, faculty and others who have so kindly aided us in our most difficult task. Hoping that this book will serve its intended purpose we submit the fiftieth volume of the LOG.

The weighty burden of the management of the Willistonian never detracted from Larry's humor-loving character. Whether a cider fight or a Willistonian Staff Meeting,Larry's second floor Ford room was a scene of constant activity. An affection for the waxed hickories found him spending a good deal of his winter time on the Mt. Tom slope. His versatility will bring Larry positive success in college.

Dick,a rapid booster of all athletics, will always be remembered at Williston for the wonderful job he did on the rallies before our big sporting events. Fun-loving, Dick was always ready and could always be found at a bull session. It will be quite a while before Williston will be able to find another boy like Dick who is ready, willing, and able to do so much for the school.

Year Entered: 1948
A first honor average, a ready smile, a speedy bicycle trip to school each morning; these are the things for which Tony Berg will be remembered by his classmates. His seemingly phenomenal success with his scholastic standing was always an unending cause of wonder to less-gifted friends. Tony, though a daily commuter, found time to participate in his share of extra-curricular activities. A successful future is predicted for this talented young man.
KLAUS HELMUT BOERNER

Year Entered: 1951
One of the quieter and more friendly boys at Williston, Jerry made good use of his one year at the Academy. His scholastic average was always kept high by diligent application to his work. His 100% English composition is a feat not often duplicated. On the athletic field, in class, or at Glee Club meetings,Jerry was among the foremost to participate.

Ted's graduation from Williston Academy leaves a vacancy that will be hard for any person ever to fill. Besides participating in a maximum of extra-curricular activities during his four years at Williston, he maintained a steady scholastic average. To all privileged to know him, Ted was one of the friendliest and most respected members of the class of 1952.

YMCA Cabinet 4; Headwaiter 4; Dramatic Club 3,4; Willistonian 3,4, Exchange Manager 4; Log 3,4, Business Manager 4; Football 3, 4 (W).
Van entered into the full swing of Williston life as earnestly as any other boy in his class. His work with the Willistonian and Log, accomplished despite frequent weekends to nearby Springfield, did a great deal toward the success of these publications. Van was a very popular boy at Williston, and we feel that his personality and his desire to participate will give him a very successful college career.

Ambition is synonymous with the name of Burt Boyer. Into no matter what he entered, Burt worked to attain the top whether it was with the football team, debating, or the school yearbook. Burt's love of humor was one of his winning characteristics. His hearty laugh was familiar to all of the senior dormitory. For a boy with Burt Boyer's drive, the future need hold no worries.
BRUCE SCOTT BROWN
270 Park Avenue,New York,New York
"SIDEBURNS"
College Choice: University of Virginia Year Entered: 1948
Bruce, one of the most versatile boys in the school, may be seen at any time doing anything. "The apartment" on Park Ave. in New York has already become the place for reunions for the class of'52. His athletic ability ranks him as one of the best at Williston. His three sport participation, his love of Dixieland, and his pantomiming faces make Bruce one of the immortals of the class.
CHARLES STEWART BUFFUM
23 West Webster Street, Manchester,N.H. "BUFF"

Year Entered: 1948
Glee Club 4; Double Quartet 4; Dance Band 2, 3, 4; Game Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Log 4; Willistonian 4; Skiing 1, 2; Track 3,4.
In regard to Buff's musical ability, we can conservatively say that he played a nice trumpet. His dance band was responsible for the success of a good many of our weekend dances. On Saturday nights, when Stew was not busy with a musical program, he could usually be found cheering some young heart in Northampton. The good nature and consideration that Buff showed in his four years at Williston has won him many life-long friendships.
DANIEL J. CHISHOLM
28 Harrison Avenue,Northampton,Mass. "CHIs"
College Choice: St. Xavier University Year Entered: 1948 Football Manager(W)4.
The humorous spirit and good will shown by this bouncy redhead has won a permanent place for Dan Chisholm in the memories of the graduating class. Never was Dan at a loss for speech, whether explaining the failure of a chem experiment,or the intricacies of the defensive play of his "Dartmouth" basketball team. Din's football letter was well-earned.Seldom did one find a manager as willing for work as was Chis. Williston loses a fine boy in Dan Chisholm.
After travelling twenty miles each day to and from classes, Erich could not spend much time with extra-curricular activities. But this jovial, hard-working lad from South Hadley, equally at home with a tennis racket or math book, was able to endure and excel in a five-course senior schedule. Erich's quick appreciation of humor always made him a welcome face in any Ford Hall group.
PETER HARTFORD DUNLOP
20 Arundel Street, Andover,Mass.
"PETE''
College Choice: Bowdoin Year Entered: 1950 Glee Club 3, 4; Willistonian 3, 4; Prom Committee 4; Double Quartet 3,4; Swimming 3,4(W); Tennis 3, 4.
Pete, in his two years at Williston has gained the friendship of all. Because of his musical ability, he has been one of the Glee Club's mainstays. Pete, with his humorous imitations and hard-working qualities, will still be remembered long after he has left Williston.
Thanks to a broken leg, Freddie became a member of the class of '52. Although hampered by this leg, he has played excellent basketball this year. He will always be remembered for the way he stunned the school by appearing with his blond,curly locks snipped in a fashion called Indians' Delight. His readiness for a bull session has made him many friends. Luck will follow Fred wherever he goes and in whatever he does.
CONRAD WILLIAM FISHER 16 Germain Street,Worcester,Mass.

College Choice: Yale Year Entered: 1950
Adelphi Gamma Sigma 3; Glee Club 4; Chess Club 3; Student Council 4, President; Tennis 3 (W),4 (W),Captain 4; Squash 3,4.
Connie distinguished himself in nearly all phases of Williston life. Finding no difficulty with his scholastic work, he was one of the few seniors who consistently achieved first and second honor grades. With a tennis racket in his hand, Connie's prowess was no less clearly defined. The friendliness and ability of leadership that saw Conrad Fisher elected President of the Student Council are going to make a successful future for this boy.

Gaily is one of the few four-year men. During those four years, he has become one of the outstanding members of the senior class. He was the first tenor in the "Six Sons of Sammy" and has held an honor average during his entire time here at Williston. Gally's drive and spirit of competition have made him an asset to the various teams of which he has been a member. He should continue his amazing record at Harvard next year.
Jack, in his quiet manner, has accumulated many friends in his two-year stay at Williston. He served as Captain and sparkplug of Williston's undefeated soccer team and has proved to be the best set shot artist on this year's basketball team. When not seen partici- pating in athletics, Jack may usually be found studying in his room. His sincere attitude in whatever he undertakes will carry him far in later life.
CHARLES GOODYEAR
509 Amsterdam Avenue,New York,N.Y.
"CHUCK"
College Choice: University of Mass. Year Entered: 1948
Glee Club 1, 2, 4; Willistonian 4, Co-executive Editor 4; Chess Club 3; Science Club 4.
Chuck would almost always greet a person by saying, -Got a nickel so I can call Hamp?" He was always an exceedingly dignified and worldly person and had a definite air of sophistication. He resides in the heart of New York City, although during the last six years he has spent most of his time in New England. Chuck will be a desirable representative of our Alma Mater.
A seemingly hard-working boy, but with a mischievous streak of good humor was Pete Guthy. A clever remark and an attempted straight countenance were traits which won fast friends for this young marimba player. When Peter put his mind to a task, there was no stopping him; French class never did. Because of his zestful spirit, he was always a good companion.

Progressive and prominent in many fields at Williston, George was a familiar figure either behind an impressive tome of learning, or fastened to a pair of smooth hickories. At any midnight discussion group on the third floor Ford, he was welcome and usually present. Friendliness and versatility make a bright outlook for George's college career.
JOHN SPIERS HARRINGTON III
40 Fairlee Road,West Hartford,Conn.

One of the most versatile students in the class,Jack has compiled an amazing record at Williston. For three years he has been a member of the Glee Club. For two years a varsity soccer player, and for three years a skiing stalwart. Jack's marks have never suffered in spite of all these and many other activities. Another one of the Six Sons of Sammy leaves Williston to seek his fortune.
SAMUEL
HULL
225 Highland Street,Holden,Mass.
"SAM"
College Choice: University of Maine Year Entered: 1951 Glee Club 4; Science Club 4; Sailing Club 4; Skiing 4.
A ready and infectious laugh has been the calling care of Sam Hull during the past year. Sam,in addition to being able to execute a nice one-handed push shot when he wasn't nervous, was a wizard with a pair of skis beneath him. In fact his afternoon trips to the Mt.Tom ski run were much more pleasurable to him than his daily tussle with a math book. Well-liked and respected by his dormmates, he was one of the most genial personalities in Ford Hall.
DOUGLAS A. JACK
59 Massasoit Street,Northampton,Mass.
"DOUG"
College Choice: University of Mass. Year Entered: 1948 Soccer 4; Tennis 3.
A more industrious and earnest-minded boy was not to be found in the senior class than Douglas Jack. Doug, handicapped though he was, always maintained a creditable scholastic average. His lighter side also was occasionally made evident by some untimely remark in math class, or some witty and unusually derogatory com- ment on someone's grouping grade. Doug's easy and inherent friendliness always made him a likeable companion at Williston.
PETER BOSWORTH JOHNSON 34 Coe Avenue,Portland,Conn.
"PETE"
College Choice: Yale Year Entered: 1950 Glee Club 3,4; YMCA Cabinet 4; Soccer 3,4(W),Hockey 3, 4; Track 3(W),4 (W).
Pete Johnson was one of those few fortunate seniors who did not take a history test each Wednesday morning. Pete, although on occasion his lighter vein burst forth, was usually an earnest, serious-minded individual. He put a lot of interest into track during the springtime, and his letter was well-deserved. His ability for leadership was shown in his appointment to the "Y" cabinet.
BARTON DAVID KAGAN
10 Holmes Street,Malden,Mass.
"RED"
College Choice: Yale
Year Entered: 1949
Chess Club 3,4; Adelphi Gamma Sigma 4; Log 4; Willistonian 3, 4; Track 3,4(W);Soccer 4; Hockey 2, 3.
Red has certainly been a credit to Williston. He was always ready and quite willing to expound on controversialism of favorite topics. Due to play-by-play descriptions of any game known to man, and his mathematical card tricks, he has become very popular among his schoolmates. He was also one of the stars on the track team. Red is sure to be a success in the future.
College Choice: Lehigh University Year Entered: 1948 Squash 3; Soccer 4.
Although Don has been in this country for only three years, he has adapted himself very well. He was one of the hardest workers in his class and has managed to keep his grades in good standing.

Herb was one of the most versatile boys in his class. Being the founder of one club, Chess, and holding lead positions on the Willistonian and Log, he has been exceedingly busy. He will certainly hold a spot in Williston's history as an unforgettable person.
Mac has been working under a big disability this year since he was confined to his home early in the year with pneumonia.In spite of the handicap, he pursued his studies diligently and managed to pull through. He has been one of the big mainstays on the track team for several years and has also been valuable to the football teams and to the Willistonian as Executive Editor.
Sy is one of the outstanding personalities of his class. He has been able to uphold a first tenor part in the double quartet for two years. His athletic ability has carried him to the hilt in soccer and tennis. With all his activities plus a good scholastic record, he has presented himself as a desirable alumnus.

"DINTY"
College Choice: Brown Year Entered: 1948
YMCA Cabinet 4; Flag Committee; Soccer 4 (W); Hockey 2 (W),3 (W),4(W),Co-captain.
Dinty, when not seen zooming up and down the hockey rink, may usually be found engaged in a "bull session" in Chuck's room. Dinty was the stalwart fullback on Williston's undefeated soccer team. Dint's easy-going manner, sense of humor, and ability to make friends will be as much of an asset to him as he has been to Williston during his three-year stay.

"GussiE"
College Choice: Georgetown Year Entered: 1950
Glee Club 3,4; Double Quartet 3; Log 4; Gift Committee 4; Sextette 4; Baseball 3(W),4 (W).
Gussie's "all business" manner will long be remembered at Williston. His perfect pitch and his enthusiasm "made" the Six Sons of Sammy. As a peppy second baseman, he contributed his share and more to the baseball team. Bob, when not writing a new arrangement for the Sextet could usually be found in a heated discussion over wine, women,and song. His interest and ability in so many activities assures popularity and success in the future.

Mo's smiling countenance is only one of the various attributes of our class president. In his three years at Williston it has not yet been decided where his mail should be sent—to Williston or Burnham—because it has not been decided at which campus he lives. Mo's athletic prowess can be measured by the fact that he was captain of baseball and co-captain of hockey. His ready smile and his quick wit will carry him far in later life.

Here is a boy who Williston is proud to have as a graduate. Known to some as, "the young man about town," he has left a lasting impression. Many will remember him as the boy who knew the Rachmaninoff Concerto better than Rachmaninoff, others as the guy who kept Mr. Hepworth going in History class. With his poise and self respect, we can expect to see big things of Noose in the future.

He is seldom heard but usually seen wherever activity on the Williston campus exists. Chuck and his fabulous collection of Stan Kenton records have made Room five the Ford Hall common room. As he leaves Williston and heads for Cape Cod,singing "The Beer that I Left On the Bar (at the Cape)",the outside world gains a member of "Gingerale Unanimous."

One might say that music and Hal are synonymous. His "hot" sax has provided many hours of good listening and dancing for the school. His character parallels his musical abilities, having been elected to the Student Council. The congenial atmosphere that exists in Hal's room has made him one of the most popular boys in school.

His room was always littered with model planes and parts as well as being a popular spot for bull-sessions. We shall always remember him as one of the most aimiable members of his class.
DONALD JAMIESON SCOTT 32 Underhill Road,Hamden,Conn.
Scotty,apparently unassuming and quiet, has accomplished much in his lone year at Williston. He has had a good scholastic record and has held the position of captain of the swimming team, doing an excellent job. His participation in extra-curricular activities has made him many friends.

Spof, though not one of the taller boys on the campus, was one of the stalwarts of this year's senior basketball team.He could usually be found in Sam's room for a bull session.

College Choice: University of Mass. Year Entered: 1950 Glee Club 3 4, Manager 4; Student Council 4; Football 3 (W), 4(W),Captain 4; Skiing 3, 4; Baseball 3(W),4 (W).
The cause for Sully's popularity is not certain. Maybe it was his successful participation in extra-curricular activities, or his superb performances in athletics, or possibly the fact that he always had access to a car. Probably the main cause for his popularity, among others, was that he was everybody's friend. Northampton has sent one of its best in Sully.

Bob,in his two-year stay at Williston has been admired for both his sincerity in friendship and his integrity in scholastics. Through his quiet and unassumng manner, Bob has won many friends. He was one of the mainstays of Williston's undefeated soccer team. Bob's ready smile and good nature will aid him no matter where he goes.
Here is the boy that the nurses blame for having premature gray hair. If it isn't a sprained ankle, it's a headache or an ailing hangnail that badly needs treatment. Tit's humor and personality have won him many lasting friends, as there was no end to the stories he used to tell. He is sure to go far in the attaining of success.

Hank has been some sort of a record setter here at Williston. Winning two varsity letters in one season, and graduating from Freshman to Senior in but three years, Hank must have a secret and deeply hidden talent. His popularity with his fellow seniors was not hidden, however. Wherever he may go this fall, he will prove himself the friendly, intelligent fellow we all have known.
JOHN CAMPBELL ENSINGER

Batch with his slow drawl and quick wit has had the complete student body and most of the faculty laughing the greater part of the time. When not engaged in not reporting dead Chinese boys, Batch's deep bass voice may usually be heard rounding out the sextet. His interest in flowers can be shown by his attachment to the American Beauty Rose. We are sure that Batch's ability for being a good mixer will bring him much success in whatever he undertakes.

Wailes also took second place as "most versatile." Peakes was outstand-

THE WILLISTONIAN
The Willistonian this year has been able to incorporate several new features along with the continuance of standard features from last year. Using these ideas as a basis for improvement, the editors proceeded to reinaugurate the features with hopes of satisfying popular demand. The success of feature articles was greatly due to the diligent labor of Harold Resnic, the Feature Editor.
The news and sports reporting reached a new high this year with Ted Bosworth as an able News Editor, Terry Light and Martin Rubin maintaining the positions of Sports Editors.
Perhaps one of the more important positions was that of the Copy Editor, held by Alan Galbraith. His job was to edit all articles. Due to Alan's diligence, the standards that were set will be hard to surpass.

One of the biggest Senior Proms in the history of Williston was held April 25. Over one-hundred and fifty persons attended this dance (not including the chaperones). Entertainment was provided by a professional dance band from Springfield. One of the highlights of this MR. JOHNSTON Adviser
Boakfar Ketunuti and John McCabe loyally performed their tasks as Photography and Executive Editors respectively. The quality of the pictures turned in this last year was exceptionally fine. Being in charge of all the typing, John held the primary position. On the business staff, Herbert Linzell did a fine job as Business Manager. Craig Thorn, Circulation Manager, and Vance Boyd, Exchange Manager, were able to fulfill the demands of the subscribers which included parents, alumni, and other schools. Also mention must be made of the Co-Editors-in-Chief, Larry Ball and Robert Sweet, who have done a marvelous job, not only in bringing new features into their publications, but also for supervising all those under them who make up the Willistonian staff. Their task was one of tremendous responsibility and was perpetrated very ably.

DOWN THE ALLEY
Williston's outlook on its athletics this year was good. Only highest praise can be given the soccer team which ended its first undefeated season in a long time by tying Deerfield's highly rated team 1-1. Compiling a five-win,and four-tie record, the team under the tutoring of Coach Babcock and the leadership of Captains John Garrity and Ted Bosworth, won notable triumphs over the University of Mass. Freshmen (2-0) and Mt. Hermon (2-0). While the soccer team was win- ning all its games, the football squad was not doing so well. Losing to Kimball Union in their first gagie, the Wildcats dropped two more before downing a favored Vermont eleven 34-14. From that day on, there was a new team here at Williston. The team rode to victory by trampling Deerfield 20-12. This was the first Williston team in five years to de- feat the potent Deerfield squad. Rounding out a three-win and three-loss season by beating Stockbridge 25-12, the team completed a truly successful season. The winter sports have done equally as well. The swimming team has a record of eight wins and two losses with one tie. One of the most outstanding events of the sea- son was the defeat of Yale's top breast- stroke men by Don Miller. The Basket- ball team has fought its way to an eight- win and five-loss record. One of their most sPectacular games was their victory over Mt. Hermon 66-65. Their record is one of the best in three years. The Hockey team has done well, by compiling a five and four record. The Ski Team did not do as well this year as was expected. Out of six meets, they won against Northamp- ton.High School by 193 points. In the Spring our teams did remarkably well.
THREE POOL RECORDS SHATTERED ALREADY
Since the opening of the swimming sea- son there have been several prominent members of the squad who have been consistently outstanding. Dick Dunbar had twice broken the Williston pool record for the fifty-yard free style. His times of 25.6 and 25.4 broke a 25.8 mark set by him last winter. He is yet to be beaten in this event.
In the same lines are Don Miller of Kentucky and Ted FitzSimons of New Haven in their respective events—the hundred yard breast stroke and the two hundred yard free style. Don has tied the National Prep School Record for the hundred-yard breast stroke, and also broke the Trinity pool record in this event.

AROUND THE CAMPUS
By JOHN PEAKES
As we emerge from my cave for the last time, here at Williston, we amble over to the graduation ceremonies. Look, Mr. Stevens actually is smiling! Not for many moons will his countenance shine upon us. Who said, "Thank heavens!" Bob Moore is giving the Valedictory speech now. Bob really has progressed these last few months. Red Kagan is making the presentation of the class gift. Three gross of shoe laces which the work crew has to sell at their stand on Payson Avenue. They've decided not to give Jim Walles his diploma because of insubordination to Miss McGinnis last week. Special Announcement!! Conrad Fisher is graduating Cum Lousy. Good Work Con. Sam Hull is getting his diploma now, and he's getting a tremendous hand from all the faculty as he hands Mr. Rouse his term paper.
LOG DEDICATED TO MR. COOK
One of the events that Williston always looks forward to is the announcement of the dedication of the Log. This year the dedication was made to a man who has given devoted service to Williston for theI, past forty-one years. The Log is proud to dedicate their 50th Anniversary Edition to Melvin J. Cook. Mr. Cook was graduated from Princeton, Phi Beta Kappa, in 1911. In this same year, he was elected to Williston to teach mathematics. He is one of the charter members of the Cum Laude Society of Williston as well as being one of the first ...

BURTON BOYER Editor-in-Chief
THE
Contained within its too few pages is the record of a full year of accomplishment, of happiness and unhappiness, of Williston.
Fifty years ago the first "Log" was published. Today there exists this memory of the year 1902 in the yearbook of 1952.
The editors of the "Log" of 1952 have had a task not only to uphold the standards set by a half a century of publications, but also to attain a new zenith in this year's book. Their hope has been to present a yearbook which will proudly bear their names fifty years hence.
The executive committee responsible for the 1952, fiftieth anniversary "Log" numbered but six. Beneath the watchful eye of Editor-in-Chief Burton Boyer,Herbert Linzell supervised the intricate work of the layout, Charles Peterson all the literary detail, Vance Boyd the
LOG
financial duties, Batchelder 011inger the art work, and Richard Bennett the photography department.
Due credit should be given to the executive committee's associates, and assistants for they are the ones who do the basic work,such as typing, getting ads, and taking the informal pictures. Honorable mention should go to Peter Haug,Charles Smith,Harold Resnic, and Martin Rubin for their faithful work done this year.
The "Log" is much indebted to Earl N.Johnston,the faculty adviser, for without his continual guidance the "Log" would never have been published.
Only through these three coordinating powers are we able to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary edition of the "Log."

THE GLEE CLUB
Throughout its many years, the Williston Glee Club has established an excellent reputation. Under the direction of Mr. Teller, the boys lend their voices in singing pieces for neighboring communities and Williston, itself. As accompanist, Mr. Curtiss combines his knowledge of music and voice with that of Mr. Teller, helping where he is most needed and playing the melodious tunes on the piano with a fine and rare technique.
The Glee Club puts on a concert in the winter in conjunction with Northampton School for Girls, and an operetta in the spring (the "Mikado" this year) also with the same girls' school.
The club's officers this year were as follows: Jim Wailes, President; Harold Resnic, Vice-President; Pollard Sullivan and Ted Bosworth, Managers.
The "Log" readily acknowledges the Glee Club as the good-will ambassador of our extra-curricular activities.
THE DOUBLE QUARTETTE
An offspring of the Glee Club,a group of eight boys are selected for the double-quartet. These boys have more mature voices and blend well together; therefore, they travel to various locations to perform for small bodies of people. They sing more difficult music than that attempted by the entire club.
THE SIX SONS OF SAMMY
These six seniors made their debut at Williston Academy this year under the name of the "Six Sons of Sammy." A tremendously popular group, the sextet sang "barbershop" songs in the traditional "close harmony" manner. They had many successful engagements including a trip to New York for an Alumni dinner. The Log congratulates this group for its fine showing in the class of '52.

THE BAND
After a year has passed, the Williston band has once again returned to the school scene. Last year, the circumstances existed that many of the eligible boys were on the varsity squads so that Mr. Teller, the group director, found it almost impossible to assemble a satisfactory crew. This year, however, things went exceptionally well as the band rendered their services to the Buck Party and to five of the football games, two of which were away. During the winter term, melodious strains could be heard resounding from the walls of the Recreation Center preceding and at halftime of the Saturday night basketball games. Much tribute is to be paid to Stewart Buffum and Dan Stiles on the arumpets and Hal Resnic, on the saxophone, who have been members of the Band ever since their arrival at Williston.
Although the Band gains little recognition of fame and glory, there are many who can vouch for the part it plays in boosting the morale of our teams and of our school. The Wiliston Band will always stand foremost in our minds as a creator and booster of school spirit.

THE CHESS CLUB
MR. THORNER Adviser
One of the brighter spots of the week for many of the students are the meetings at the Plimpton Library for the Chess Club. Special interest was generated this year by the means of an annual tournament which determined the relative abilities of the various members. Later a second contest was held for those who had been eliminated from the primary competition. Much interest was shown in playing over the games of the great chess masters of the past. As the year progressed there was a growing development of skill shown by the new members. These men will be the mainstays of the club next year.
Stimulating discussions were held on the history of chess with illustrations of some of the fascinating examples of craftsmanship in chess sets of all nations and of all ages; ranging from the intricate carved sets
of the Far East to the perfectly plain, symbolic sets which are used by the Mohammedans.
Much of the club's success this year was due to the competence of their adviser, Mr. Thorner, and their officers, Herbert Linzell, President; and James Carr, Secretary.

ADELPHI GAMMA SIGMA
Adelphi-Gamma Sigma Debating Society is the oldest organization in the school, being founded in 1870. Through the years it has constantly been one of the most popular organizations at Williston.
Last year, interscholastic debating was resumed for the first time since World War II. These debates are open to the rest of the school and to the public. With this added attraction membership was boosted to more than in previous years.
Intramural debating is carried on among the members throughout the year. The topics vary from those which deal with international and national policies to those of athletic and scholastic affairs.
After each debate the particular subject for discussion is thrown open to a round-table discussion in which the rest of the club may voice their opinions as well as cut down the speakers. This experience is invaluable, for it teaches one to speak on his feet—an art very few people today have.
At the end of the year the Carew Debate is held before the whole school. The Carew brothers, alumni of Williston, founded this contest and award twenty dollars to the winner each year.
The officers for the first half-year were as follows: Burt Boyer, President; Nick Veeder, Vice-President; Martin Kruger, Secretary-Treasurer. For the second half-year: Nick Veeder. President; Burt Boyer, VicePresident; and Don Scott, Secretary-Treasurer. The debating society was carefully guided by Mr. Lawton and Mr. Thomas as advisers. Thus a successful year comes to an end for Adelphi Gamma Sigma.

THE DEBATING TEAM
On February 9, 1952, the first of the two "home and home" debates with the Mt. Hermon School was conducted in the Dodge Room of the Recreation Center. For both the debates, the two schools picked the subject—Resolved: "The United States is losing the fight against Communism in Europe." Upholding the affimative at home was Don Cutting of Hartford, Conn.; Burton Boyer, retiring president of Adelphi and holder of five public speaking prizes at Williston, from Hull, Mass.; and Kirkland Taylor of New York, Rebuttalist.
BURTON BOYER
President First half-year
February 14th marked the second debate, this one being at Mt. Hermon. Using the same subject for the topic, the Williston debating team this time opposed the affirmative. The Williston debators were Bob Heiner of Shaker Heights, Ohio; and Martin Kruger of Brighton, Mass. The latter served both as a speaker and a rebuttalist.

THE DRAMATIC CLUB
The annual appearance of the Williston Dramatic Club has always proved to be one of the highlights of every Spring'term. This year's presentation of "You Can't Take It With You" was certainly no exception. Well supplied with talent and led by Bruce Brown and President John Peakes, the club combined with the Mask and Wig Society of the Northampton School for Girls to give a hilarious, yet dramatic performance. This production was an excellent example of Mr. Boardman's perfection a,s a director of plays. If any
further proof were needed, it would be found in his direction of the Fall plays. Mr. Boardman, always willing to try something new, staged these plays in the "round." The result was a resounding success. The able guidance of assistant director Buell proved to be another great asset to the club. A remarkable job of creating the atmosphere, a major part of any dramatic presentation, was done by the stage and light crews. Thus another successful year passed for the Dramatic Club.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL
Acting as the self-governing body of the students at Williston, the Student Council is deemed one of the most important organizations in the school. Each year, every member, elected by the students, is noted for his upstanding and honest character and esteemed to be a natural leader of the school community.
The main purpose of the Council is to produce a smooth and harmonious relationship among the students and also to promote a closer feeling between the students and the faculty. This year, as in times past, the Council has truly done its best to see that these things were carried out.
In addition, there are other innumerable jobs to be performed by the group. In the dormitories they check rooms in the morning, supervise evening study hall, and check at "lights out." Of course, the members possess the authority to put boys on bounds for infractions of the school rules.
The Student Council members reported a few days early this year in order to show the new boys around before the term started.
An extremely well selected group of officers led by Connie Fisher, President; Ted Bosworth, Vice-President; and Jim Walles, Secretary-Treasurer aided greatly in producing a smooth running organization. The council once again had as its faculty adviser, Mr. Lossone, who presided at the meetings as their instructor in the fundamentals of self-government.

THE "Y" CABINET
One of the oldest"Y"organizations in the country, the Williston Cabinet has always done this school's principal charitable work. At the present time it is distributing money to the many worthwhile groups throughout the world. The money is raised by donation and subscription, the sale of Coca-Cola at the football games, and dances that are held during the course of the year. Also, in line with its philanthropic services, the Cabinet holds clothing drives for the needy people.
The "Y" Cabinet was originally organized as a religious function, but it has deviated from this purpose and now has become an organization to further help mankind. However,in line with its tradition, it still continues to have some religious purposes with its members presiding many times over regular evening chapel services.
The "Y" Cabinet also has another very important function. At the beginning of each year it holds the "Buck" party which serves not only as a meeting for the new boys, but also as a chance for any student to show off his own particular talent.
Under the guiding influence of the faculty adviser, Lincoln D. Granniss and the president; John Beever, this year's "Y" Cabinet has carried on its good work which it does quietly and unostentatiously but very effectively.

THE SAILING CLUB
A neophyte to Williston's extra-curricular schedule this year was the Sailing Club. Under the able direction of Mr. David Stevens, this club is rapidly becoming a very popular organization. The showing of movies and slides creates interest in the fascinating study of boats and brings knowledge to the beginner. When the ice left the ponds, the Sailing Club launched several boats lent by the members, and became sailors instead of viewers. In the winter, though, the members joined in discussion about different parts of the boats and aspects thereof. Although active only a short time, the Sailing Club is fast becoming a well-established activity. The officers of this year were Burton Boyer and Ken Lundin, Co-chairmen; and Robert Barber, Secretary-treasurer.

SCIENCE CLUB
Although not new in Williston's extra-curricular activities this year,the Science Club worked with more determination than in past years to form a progressive organization. The members, steered by Mr. Howell as faculty adviser, joined in projects and took part in trips which brought the boys together, working for a common goal— more knowledge gained through interest in science. The speakers who addressed them were professors and deans from neighboring colleges and men from industrial corporations.
The Science Club has now progressed to be one of Williston's excellent extra-curricular activities. The officers for the year 1952 were: Will Rogers, President; Henry Elkins, VicePresident, and Louis Stern, Treasurer.

ATHLETIC ADVISORY BOARD
Every year, the student representatives of the Athletic Advisory Board, in conjunction with the faculty members, do much in guiding the athletic activities during the school year. The three student members are usually boys who have been prominent in athletics. These boys are chosen by the students from the class they represent. The faculty advisers represent the coaches of the varsity sports.
At the close of each of the three athletic seasons the board performs two principal duties: it awards athletic letters to those boys who have shown creditable and satisfactory performances in the respective sport, and chooses the managers for each of the sports for the next year.
Thus, for completing another year of acting as a commission of athletics at Williston, the Athletic Advisory Board of 1951-52 should indeed receive noteworthy praise.

CHEERLEADERS
Sports at Williston have always been aided from the sidelines by an omnipresent crowd, and this year was no exception. To coordinate the efforts of the numerous rooters was the job of the cheerleaders. Leading old cheers ta games and at bonfire-rallies, making up new cheers, and in general, boosting the morale of the school was the important job, handled quite capably by Peter Haug, Louis Rabinovitz, and Robert Barber. These three boys deserve the thanks of everyone in the school for doing such a wonderful job.

VARSITY FOOTBALL
The 1951 Williston football team was one which shall always be remembered as one of the best teams in the annals of Williston's football history. The record shows that this season was an evenly matched affair with the Wildcats winning three out of six games, but what the record does not show is the unbeatable spirit and drive with which the team played its games. This truly was a great team in every sense of the word.
The first three games of the season seemed to show that Williston was going to have another one of its fabulous defeated seasons—losing to Kimbal Union 19-13; Mt. Mermon 28-7; and Loomis 13-12.The latter was a fine game,though, with sixty-five seconds left to play, the Loomis eleven plunged over the line for the resulting score.
The Lashmen then took an about-face and trounced potent Vermont 34-14. With a spirit that has never been equaled for the last five years at Williston, the Wildcats turned upon their arch rival, Deerfield, and out-scored the Green 20-12. In the final game, the Blue and Gold trimmed an undefeated Stockbridge team 25-12.
Led by Captain Pollard Sullivan, the members of the team will never forget this season, not only for defeating Deerfield (first time in six years), but also Mr. Gebhard, Mr. Luce, and Mr. Waskiewicz for their untiring efforts to bring about a successful team.

This year's soccer team was undoubtedly one of the most spirited and finest team-playing combinations in Williston's long years of soccer competition. Not only was the team itself first-class, but the contests played were of the highest caliber.

Coach
Sparked by Co-Captains Jack Garrity and Ted Bosworth, the 1951 soccer team more than rewarded the enthusiastic support shown by the student body in the final game of the season, when a powerful but disheartened Deerfield team was morally defeated in a 1-1 tie. The turbulent schedule was inaugurated inauspiciously on Saturday, October 1, when the Blue and Gold trounced Kingswood by a score of 4-0. The following Wednesday, the Babcockmen steamrolled Suffield 6-0, only to run into stiff resistance in their next game, with Worcester. Featuring a sensational center forward and sporadic team play, Worcester gave the home forces their first real tussle, playing to a 2-2 deadlock. After a 3-1 breeze over Monson, the Wildcats tackled the heavy end of their schedule with redoubled team spirit, barely scraping a 1-1 tie from a hard-fighting Williams Freshman team, but beating a rough University of Mass. freshman team by a score of 2-0. In a wide-open game, the Williston forces surprised a strong and fast Mt. Hermon team, winning a 2-1 decision by a last-minute goal.
The soccer team amassed a record of five wins and three ties. Due to the continual efforts of Head Coach Babcock and Assistant Coaches Boardman and Laurent, along with the entire team, this year's team established a record which rates them as one of the best in preparatory schools.

MR. GEBHARD Assistant Coach
With four lettermen returning as mainstays, the Williston basketball squad opened its 1952 season with a decisive victory over Vermont Academy,53-23. The next Wednesday proved a stumbling block in which the highly-rated Monson team "poured it on" to triumph in a 48-59 tilt. An injury caused Tommy St. John to be unable to play in the next game, but the Wildcats put in a sparkling effort to down Cranwell in a close affair. On January 23rd the Holyoke Junior College squad provided the closest and most exciting game on the schedule by edging out the home club in a 45-46 contest. Against Suffield Academy, the "Waskymen" took an early lead and never relinquished it, finally triumphing 51-40.
After a victory over Western Mass. School of Pharmacy, the Williston squad earned a splendid triumph over Mt. Hermon in a game which showed some of the finest basketball played in the preparatory schools this year. The uncanny shooting of Fred Eaton and unmatchable ball handling of both teams set the crowd on its feet as the Blue and Gold led the way at the final whistle with the scoreboard reading 65-64.
From then on the Wildcats faced an aggregate of formidable opponents,losing to the Amherst College Freshmen but coming back to triumph over Loomis and Wilbraham. The next two contests came as a great disappointment as the Blue and Gold relented to the sterling performances of Deerfield and Mt.Hrmon. A splendid exhibition in the next two games with Worcester and Wilbraham earned the Wildcats two more triumphs. Deerfield met with a defeat in the final game of the season, 55-42. Returning to the team next season are several lettermen and a number of second team players which total up to make the prospects very encouraging.

nermumiuml VARSITY HOCKEY
This year the hockey team, very ably coached by Mr. Buell, finished the season with a seven won-six lost record. This record, although a fair one, is not as good as it could have been had the team received some breaks. Toward the middle of the season, the ice was poor. Consequently, Mr. Buell was unable to hold many practice sessions. The good spirit of the team was kept up by the co-captains Moore and Moriarty, who did a great job as the leaders of the team.
VARSITY HOCKEY
MR. BUELL Coach
The first line, consisting of Peterson, Moriarty, and Beever played exceedingly well, although Beever was unable to play during the last half of the season because of illness. The second line, therefore, made up of Jennings, Kogan, and Provost, was made to carry the extra amount of the burden, which they did by scoring the majority of the goals. The defense was shared by Moore and Elkins, both of whom played excellently throughout the season. Hall was later rotated in this position during the latter part of the schedule. The job of taking care of the goal was very capably handled by the returning goalies of the previous year, Galanie and McGillen.
Honorable mention should go to Moore, Beever, and Kogan,the high scorers of the season, respectively.

VARSITY SWIMMING
The 1952 Williston swimming team will go down in Williston's sports record as one of the finest teams in the athletic programs. Losing only two meets throughout the season, the swimmers splashed themselves through a remarkable season. Despite an early loss to Amhe'rst Frosh and a tie to Trinity Frosh, the spirit of the team was unmarred. They defeated Holyoke High School, Springfield Technical High School, Springfield Classical High School, Amherst High School, Mt. Hermon (twice), St. Georges, Westminster, and Worcester Academies by overwhelming socres. Their loss to Deerfield showed that the team lacked slightly in depth. The most prominent of their showings was in the Trinity Interscholastics where they placed second in a meet of twelve prep schools, losing only to the top team by two and one half points. Don Miller, in all probability the best breast-stroke swimmer in America's secondary schools, smashed the Trinity pool and meet records. Earlier in the season he tied the national prep school record for the hundred yard breast stroke. The medley relay team of Franck, Miller, and Dunbar combined to smash the meet record while capturing first place. Much credit should go to coach Peyson Luce who has coached these excellent swimmers. Captain Don Scott proved an excellent leader as well as a fine swimmer throughout the season. The swimmers are looking forward to another outstanding season next year. The Log salutes this truly fine team.

The ski team had an unusually active season this year, having participated in five meets. The first meet was held with Mt. Hermon after a snowless two-week practice period, which gave leave to Mt. Hermon to win by sixty points; however, after some practice, the team lost by only sixteen points in a return meet. Within the following three meets, the team won one against Northampton High School. The others were lost by very narrow margins against University of Massachusetts freshmen, Loomis, and Mt. Hermon. Jack Harrington, who was elected captain, was the first man on the team, having been able to take a first in every event; however,Sam Hull was the backbone of Williston in the slalom event. Individual honors were captured by Larry Ball and George Haliday in several events. Ted Bosworth and Brad Milne provided dependable support in all four events. The surprise came when Chuck Schlesinger, a junior, displayed his talents on the hickories. He and Bob Fuller will be future mainstays. Under the coaching of Mr. Babcock, Mr. Laurent, and Mr. David Stevens, the team feels that the '52 season was successful.

SQUASH
During the previous years the squash courts in the recreation center have only been used occasionally. However, this year, under the supervision of Mr. Tuttle, the boys who went out for the sport this winter were organized into a competitive team. During the course of the season the team had two matches with Trinity College Frosh, two meets with Amherst College Freshman, and a match with Deerfield Academy.
Even though the college freshmen teams proved too powerful for the new Williston team the defeat of the Deerfield "five" made the season, as far as the team was concerned, quite successful.
With the new incentive that the team has gotten this year, Coach Tuttle is expecting a larger number for the squad next year.

VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM
The opening of the 1952 season was an extremely outstanding one according to the records as Captain Bill Moriarty led his team to a 7-0 victory over Suffield Academy while pitching a no-hit, no-run ball game for seven innings. On the scene for the first game were returning lettermen Flo Geryk, Tommy St. John, Bob Moran,Pollard Sullivan,Terry Light,and Bill Moriarty.
New prospects consisted of Freddie Semanie, Kip Swan,Jim Wailes, and a host of others. Expectation of a good season came through due to the new depth of the team.
The good spirit of the team, the will to win, and especially the great coaching of Messrs. Gebhard and Lash proved to be a wonderful mixture to produce a winning team. The baseballers of '52—we salute you.

VARSITY TRACK TEAM
Although the track season has not started at the time of this writing, it is evident that this season's squad is going to make Williston proud. From last year's fairly successful team there are only seven lettermen returning; however, some of the newcomers show a great deal of progress from the winter track season.
Leading this year's squad will be John Beever who can double in either the 220- or the 440-yard runs. John McCabe and Joe Bury will run the 100- and 220-yard dashes. The weak spots appear to be in the distances where Bart Kagan, Don Cutting, and two newcomers—Sam Hull and Rick Boggio seem to be the best.
The weights this year may be the strongest part of the track team. Dick Dunbar will throw the javelin; Bruce Brown,the discus, and Nick Veeder, the shot. These boys are all veterans in their respective events. The other field events: the high jump, pole vault, and broad jump will be capably handled by Stewart Buffum, Pete Johnson, and Paul Mead respectively.
The hurdle this year figure to be exceptionally strong with Ralph Doe and Mitch Finegold as the standouts.
It appears that Coach Putnam and his assistants will be made very happy by their fine team. The way things are shaping up, this season promises to be one of the finer ones in Williston's history.

VARSITY TENNIS TEAM
This year's tennis team was able to start outdoor practice almost immediately after Spring Vacation, for the courts were in excellent condition. Facing many first-rate prep school teams, the Wildcats will have a hard season, but they expect to run up a better-thanaverage record.
This year's team of Captain Conrad Fisher, John Peakes, Bill Aydelotte, Simon Marchand, Eric Cramer, and Charles Brukl, in positions one through six, has stood up well under its first two tests by beating Kingswood 8-1 on Saturday, April 19th, and Suffield 8-1 on Wednesday, April 23rd. Other boys aspiring for team positions are: George Haliday, Bill Michaels, Steve Bullock, and Bill Cooper. All in all, this year's team, coached by Mr. Hepworth and Mr. Tuttle, should do very well indeed.
