During his ten years at Williston, Mr. Babcock has

WILMOT

been active in almost every occupation at school. He can sometimes be found in his office late at night, finishing his work as Business Manager and Assistant Treasurer of the school. In the classroom he has taught physics and mathe-

SAMUEL

matics. Whenever a problem arises around the campus, he is called upon to solve it. As dormitory master of Memorial

BABCOCK

Dorm, he performs the difficult task of keeping an eye on more than half the student body. Besides these responsibilities, he is the head coach of the soccer and swimming teams;

B.P.E.

his record speaks for itself.

In spite of his heavy schedule, he has been a friend to many. His sincerity and helpfulness have earned him the respect of the entire school.

It is for his boundless energy, his good nature, and his ability to do well whatever he undertakes that the Class of 1953 is proud to dedicate the Log to Wilmot Samuel Babcock.

With the publication of the 1953 school annual, the Williston Log enters its second half-century as a yearbook. Through the past fifty volumes, the Log has steadily improved and added many innovations.

This year, as has been done in the past, we have tried to make valuable changes to enhance the beauty and dignity of the book.

No yearbook is complete without a theme. This year we have built the Log around the following quotation by the writer, Juvenal: "A sound mind in a sound body is a thing to be prayed for." Williston tries, to the best of its ability, to develop both sound mind and sound body in every one of its students. Its efforts are not in vain. Perhaps by portraying this

between the covers of the 1953 Log, we, the Senior Class, can our gratitude to Williston for what the school has done for us. t e various divisional pages in this issue can be found short paragraphs linking each section to the theme. Each section represents an integral part of a student's life at Williston. We hope this book illustrates the various constituents that go toward making a well-rounded education.

The Class of 1953 is an outstanding one; it is the hope of the editors that this year's Log exemplifies the high standards set by the class it represents.

For the development of sound minds, the Williston students are much indebted to the faculty. These teachers work hard to impress their pupils with the importance of learning.

With this thought, we introduce the Administration.

OFFICERS

JOHN A. ALEXANDER American Embassy, A. P. 0. #206,N. Y., N. Y. "TEx" Year Entered: 1952

College Choice: Bates 41:" 1

Tex was a newcomer to Williston. Nobody was sure whether he hailed from Texas or Greece, but which ever it was, he proved himself to be an able athlete. He was a member of the undefeated Canaries. No matter where he goes after Williston, he should make as favorable an impression as he did here. Good luck to a member of the Greek Embassy.

••••••

JOHN DAVID ANSTY 131 Kimberly Ave., Springfield, Mass.

"ANTZ" College Choice: Holy Cross

Year Entered: 1952

Football 4(W); Outing Club.

Of the many students from Springfield, John stood out in athletics. He was one of the outstanding figures on the varsity football squad. In the first game against Hotchkiss, he broke his wrist, but neither this nor anything else slowed him down. Though he was at Williston for just one year, he made many friends and should have much success in the future.

REX AUBREY Parkes, N. S. W., Australia "KANGAROO" College Choice: Yale

Year Entered: 1952

Soccer 4(W); Swimming 4(W); Track 4 (W).

Rex travelled half way around the world to get to Williston. He made many friends in both the student body and the faculty. He played soccer, proving to be a very good fullback. He was more famous for his swimming, however; last summer he was a member of the Australian Olympic Team. Rex is heading for Yale, and he no doubt will be very popular there also.

"RAY" College Choice: Duke

Year Entered: 1949

Soccer 3 (W), 4 (W); Basketball 3, 4 (W); Willistonian 3; Student Council 4; Flag Committee 4.

Ray was the representative of East Hampton, Conn., and was at Williston for four years. In this time he compiled a good record in both athletics and studies. He was on honors frequently besides being a member of the soccer team for two years. He was elected to the Student Council in his Senior year and proved to be a very capable member. Ray should make a good representative of Williston in his future endeavors.

ROBERT WINSHIP BARBER 14 Quinnepag Ave., New London, Conn.

"GiNcH" College Choice: Brown

Year Entered: 1949

Soccer 1, Manager 4 (W); Log 1, 2, 3, 4, Assistant Managing Editor 4; Willistonian 1, 2, 3; Sailing Club 3, 4, Secretary-Treasurer 3, President 4; Glee Club 1; Science Club 1; Cheerleader 1, 2, 3, Captain 3; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3,4; Photography Club 1, 2.

Bob was one of the hardy, stalwart individuals who went through four years at Williston. His pleasing nature and good sense of humor gained him an accepted place in the Senior Class.

His classmates and friends will always associate him with the industrious and extremely ambitious lads of the class.

ROBERT JOHN BARNINI Green River Road, Williamstown, Mass.

"Bos" College Choice: Williams

Year Entered: 1952

Football 4 (W); Basketball 4 (W); Baseball 4(W).

Bob's drive on the gridiron and on the basketball court won him the respect of the entire student body. In his one year at Williston, his amiability and quick wit earned many friends for him. In spite of his strenuous athletic schedule, he did not neglect his studies, as he was naturally a conscientious worker. He will long be remembered for his pep throughout the year. We hope to see him at Williams next year.

23

RICHARD GORDON BARSTOW 23 Highland Ave., Dexter, Maine "Dicr College Choice: University of Maine

Year Entered: 1952

Football 4 (W); Basketball 4 (W), Co-captain 4; Baseball 4 (W).

In his first year at Williston, Dick made an excellent name for himself. He combined amazing athletic ability, which earned him a co-captaincy, with a quick smile and an extremely likeable personality. He made many permanent friends at Williston. We wish him the best of luck in the future.

ROBERT DUANE BATES 20 Townsend St., Walton, N. Y. "VuLTCH" College Choice: Hamilton

Year Entered: 1951

Chess Club 3, 4; Sailing Club 3, 4.

Bob's amiable personality earned him many friends at Williston.

His traditional haircut led to his being called "Vulture", but he was actually one of the most generous boys in school. His ability to spin a yarn made many friends for him. We, his classmates, wish him the best of luck in his engineering future.

NOEL J. BELCOURT, JR. 35 Fairmont St., Wethersfield, Conn.

"NOEL" College Choice: Boston University

Year Entered: 1951

Noel conducted his two years at Williston at a steady rate of improvement, both in his studies and as a fellow friend. Though a quiet boy at heart, he often showed a sly spark of humor. Our best wishes go with him wherever the future may lead.

24

RICCARDO JOHN BOGGIO 132 Beech St., Holyoke, Mass.

"Mac." Year Entered: 1951

College Choice: Northeastern University

Football 3,4 (W); Track 3 (W), 4 (W); Student Council 4; "Y" Cabinet 4; Ring Committee 4.

Although most quiet and unassuming, Rick achieved the admiration of everyone connected with him. His popularity was confirmed by his versatility, both in the classroom and on the athletic field. He was haunted by a bad ankle during the regular football season, but few at the Loomis game will ever forget his sixty-yard romp that day on the first play from scrimmage. Holyoke can well afford to be proud of Rick.

WILLIAM LEWIS BREER 243 Division St., Amsterdam, N. Y. "BILL" College Choice: Undecided

Year Entered: 1951 Graduated: August 1953

Log 4; Band 3; Glee Club 3, 4; "Y" Cabinet 4, Secretary 4; Headwaiter 4.

With an elusive cheerfulness and a serene disposition, Bill found a deep-seated place at Williston. Even as a headwaiter, he proved that he was able to perform a job e3aremely well while expending the least possible energy. His ability to make friends won him many companions among his class mates. All in all, Bill was one of the most industrious fellows in the class, trying his best all the while.

STEPHEN BULLOCK Park Street, Williamstown, Mass.

"INDIAN" College Choice: Williams

Year Entered: 1950

Soccer 4; Swimming 2; Tennis 2, 3, 4 (W); Squash 4; Log 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4, Manager 4; Student Council 4; Prom Committee 4.

Steve, in a less-serious vein called "Indian", possessed a selfstyled mimicry which made his presence greatly appreciated on the campus. He found much pleasure in working towards the betterment of everything he undertook, and this factor alone will insure his future success. He always welcomed responsibility and the opportunity to help others in need, regardless of the burden placed upon himself.

25

JAMES ROBERT CARR 918 Townsend Ave., New Haven, Conn.

"JIM" College Choice: Yale

Year Entered: 1949

Willistonian 2, 3, 4, Exchange Editor 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Chess Club 2, 3, 4, Secretary 4; Dramatic Club 3.

For four years Jim was a top-notch student in all of his courses, especially Spanish, in which he led his class for three years. He was helpful to the foreigners from South America who needed help in their adjustment to the American way of life. We wish Jim lots of luck in his proposed engineering career.

WILLIAM DIXON CLARK 26 Kellogg St., Windsor, Conn.

"BUTTERBALL" College Choice: Middlebury

Year Entered: 1949

Football 4; Log 4; Willistonian 3, 4; Outing Club 4; Chess Club 3; Dance Band 3, 4; Science Club 1.

Throughout his four years at Williston, Bill revealed his inclination towards music. His specialty was the guitar which won him a position in the Dance Band. Whenever he was out of classes, he was always displaying his ready wit. We shall certainly miss Butterball's musical talent and his strange hairdo when he departs in June for higher education.

IRWIN KELMAN COHEN 145 Main St., Westfield, Mass.

"KEL" College Choice: Hamilton

Year Entered: 1949

Willistonian 1, 2, 3, 4, Feature Editor 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Double Quartet 3, 4.

During Kel's four years at Williston, he illustrated his musical talent in the Glee Club, in which he became a very prominent member. Another aspect of his extra-curricular activities was as Feature Editor on the Willistonian. Kel, an industrious fellow, also did a creditable job scholastically. Because of the friendly attitude he showed at Williston, he will do well in whatever he undertakes as a future profession.

26

WEBSTER ALANSON COLLINS 55 Chestnut St., Springfield, Mass.

"RETs" Year Entered: 1949

College Choice: Dartmouth

Track 2, 3, 4 (W); Log 2, 3, 4, Managing Editor 4; Willistonian 2, 3, 4,Circulation Editor 4; Glee Club 3,4; Dramatic Club 2, 3,4, Stage Manager 4; Sailing Club 3, 4, Secretary-Treasurer 4.

Web,a four year man,compiled an excellent record at Williston in his extra-curricular activities as well as a creditable job in his studies. A very conscientious worker, he conquered any task that confronted him. The "Mad Miler" was also a well-known figure in athletics. We are certain that he will be successful in his future ambition.

ROBERT CONDILES 291 Overridge Rd., R. D. #1,Latham, N. Y. "PANaio" College Choice: University of Michigan

Year Entered: 1951

Soccer 3; Swimming 3(W); Adelphi-Gamma Sigma 3,4; Sailing Club 3, 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4, President 4.

Whether exhibiting his prowess in the physics lab or making one of his many after-dinner speeches, Bob was a grand fellow to know because of the cheerfulness and ready wit which expressly belonged to him. With the coming of Spring, Bob's mind did not turn to the usual thoughts, but rather it trained itself upon the dramatic club and the stage. His ambition and determination are sure to take him far in life.

WILLIAM DAVID COOPER 40 King St., Monrovia, Liberia "Coop" College Choice: Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst. Year Entered: 1951 Graduated: August, 1953 Soccer 3(W),4(W); Tennis 3(W),4(W);Science Club 3,4.

The modest Coop was a long way from home, but, nevertheless, he merited an outstanding name for himself on the varsity soccer team for two years. Around the campus Bill's languor made him a great favorite of all. We are proud to have him as a member of our class, because Coop has taught many of us that it is the intense, deep-down desire to accomplish things that really counts.

27

E. MONROE CRAWFORD 235 Russel St., Orangeburg, S. C. "Cisco" College Choice: Brown

Year Entered: 1949

Football 3, 4 (W); Baseball 4 (W); Log 4; Williston 4; Dramatic Club 4; Adelphi 3, 4.

A calmness of composure and a flexibility of disposition made Cisco a favorite of everyone. Although he presented an impression of indifference in almost everything he undertook, Monroe was always to be found giving only his best, whether on the gridiron or in the classroom. For a boy of his stature, the results that he produced in football proved his immense fortitude. His ambition to be a doctor should carry him far in later life.

DONALD WAYNE CUTTING 77 Oxford St., Hartford, Conn.

"TANK" College Choice: University of Pennsylvania

Year Entered: 1951

Soccer 3 (W), 4 (W); Track 2, 3, 4 ('SW); Log 4, Art Editor; Adelphi 3, 4, Vice-President 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Interscholastic Debating Team 3, 4.

There are boundless compliments we can pay to this little mite who became a giant on the campus, but we need only say that he was admired by all.

Herbie will also be remembered as an excellent swimmer, a competent football player, and a respected member of his class. Williston will have to look far to find another like Herb Franck.

Year Entered: 1952

Log 4; Willistonian 4; Dramatic Club 4.

His love of banter was one of his winning characteristics. His hearty laugh was familiar to all of the senior dormitory. For a boy with Tiff's abilities the future need hold no worries.

"Hands up! You're covered!" For those of us who remember Cal's early days at the Academy, the memory of his involuntary aid to a bankrobber downtown still lingers. His wit supplemented his spirit and ability on the hockey rink to the point where he became well-liked and respected by all. He brought to Williston courage and a willingness to work; these helped him to gain much from the school.

Upon entering Williston two years ago Stan Krok treated the Academy to a new personality. His very slow drawl, his manner of kidding, and his rhapsodical attitude all earned him the position of a respected boy in the senior class. An active participant on the 1953 swimming team and a member of the record relay team, Stan was a standout. Stanley Krok will always be remembered by the class of '53.

Marty will be well remembered by all of us for a long time. His weather reports and arguments were usually correct, but the disappointment of a wrong call would often show upon his face. As an avid debater in Adelphi and the classroom, he always defended his contentions to the hilt. He was a hard worker in everything he undertook; with these high aiming qualities, Marty will go a long way.

THOMAS H. LABELLE 42 South St., Easthampton, Mass.

"Tom" College Choice: University of Massachusetts Year Entered: 1952 Tom was only at Williston for one year, and in this one year, he showed that he was an industrious young man. He undertook his work seriously, although he had an infectious humor. As a day student and a family man, Tom was drawn away from the Williston campus by his occupation and general commitments at home, but we are certain that he would have been an exremely popular person if he had lived in Ford Hall.

Marshall perhaps became best known for his superb work in the Glee Club. As swimming manager, he ranks with the best.

Not only was he exact in his work for the squad, but he also proved to be a tremendous moral support for the swimmers.

Because he was a well-liked boy, Marshall's room was many times the site of a Ford Hall "bull-session." Williston loses one of her best with the graduation of this boy.

Bill Levine was another of our new students, but in a short time he became well known to everyone. He was one of the many modern jazz fans in school and was known to hold conversations for hours on that one subject. The more serious side of Bill takes form in debating.

After two years at Williston, one of the southern contingents of the senior class proved himself very worthy in school life. Besides being a member of three varsity squads and the debating club, Bill showed his best in scholastic achievements, for he was consistently a member of the honor roll. It is easy to assume that Bill will carry his high standards with him through college.

We shall never forget the smile on Mr. Bob Kiphuth's face when Don equalled the National Prep-School Record in the hundred yard breaststroke.

Even while being a target for the sharpshooters of the hockey squad, Vlad managed to maintain his characteristic good humor.

It is sure that his Boston accent will ring through the halls for years to come.

Martin Lewis Rubin

In days when courage is at a premium, it is essential that each of us gird ourselves for the problems facing us and for the life ahead. Martin Rubin showed us all that courage with him was second nature. A master at self-control and a possessor of a peerless equanimity, he proved himself the man we think he is. He had the courage of his convictions, for they were guided by intelligence, common sense, and propriety. This meant a great deal to him and to us in his dealings at school. The duties of his many offices depended on these inner abilities for success. When he took a definite stand on an issue, it was because he had thought the problem through •and sincerely believed that his was the correct solution. His interest seemed always to be in the other fellow. His fairness to others was well-known.

Another trait which helped "Mit" was his ability to say the right thing at the right time. When most people failed because they were unable to say the proper thing, his consummate tact guided him to success. That is not to say that he was never forceful, for he was known to put up staunch opposition to rules of practices which he believed superfluous or detrimental to the wellfare of the student body as a whole. His amiability helped him in this as did his sense of fairness. He was rarely agitated and even less frequently allowed even a mild anger to overtake the placid countenance which was his usual display. The poise he exhibited so carelessly, yet so perfectly, was an excellent example of his winning way. Careful and exact in everything that required preciseness, he made it apparent that his abilities were of no menial nature.

Strength in some may be a weakness, but not so in Martin Rubin, for his strength stemmed from his ability to take fortune in stride. That strength resulted from his keen abilities and diverse talents, and it created in him a tremendous person. His humility was of a nature almost beyond description. He remained humble and unchanged by success.

Often one thinks highly of himself because of a little success, but it is rare that one as gifted, as talked about, as honored, and as respected as he is can retain an easy equanimity.

He did this, and it was perhaps the singular aspect of his nature. His power also lay in his calmness. As calm under fire as in relaxation, "Mit" proved over and over again that cool thought and adroit manipulation of the various factors in a critical situation were the most propitious means to gain a solution which was favorable to all.

To the Class of 1953, "Mit" has been a leader true to us and to himself. By this token we would like to thank him for his help and, best of all, his friendship—Thanks, Mit, we'll never forget you.

PROM COMMITTEE This year's promenade committee, headed by Dick Dunbar and Paul Steinberg, combined many new ideas along with a vast amount of tireless industry to make the affair an extremely fine and entertaining social highlight.

The date set was April 24th, and the feminine influx began around the middle of the afternoon.

Shortly after dinner at the Homestead, the dance commenced with Bob Halprin and his orchestra providing the evening's music. The gay atmosphere and decorative background added a great deal to the success of the cotillion.

Saturday morning,, after a breakfast served by faculty waiters, the girls left for home, many of them being accompanied by their Williston companions.

Truly, the affair appropriately displayed the willingness and spirit of the senior class among with that of the entire school.

STUDENT COUNCIL

60

As the most important organization in the school, the Student Council ranks high in both esteem and integrity. Each year, every member elected by the student body is recognized because of his honest character and his natural capacity for leadership in the school community.

The Council's most important job is to promote harmonious relations between students and faculty.

This year's council, as in the past, has conscientiously attempted to fulfill this phase of its duties and responsibilities.

In addition to the above, the council performs many other jobs which go into the making of a smoothly run school. In the dormitories, the members check rooms in the morning, supervise evening study hall, and check at "lights out." The Council is also

active in the school's social activities, for its members sponsor a dance each year during the winter term.

Every year council members return to school one day early in order to help the new students become acquainted with the various phases of school life. As in the past, all council members possess the prerogative of putting boys on "bounds" for an infraction of the school rules.

This year's council was extremely fortunate to have as its president Martin Rubin. Rounding out a nearly perfect group of officers were Will Rogers, vice-president, and Lewis Rabinowitz, secretary. Deviating from past traditions, however, this year's council had no appointed faculty adviser. Instead of this, the council turned to Mr. Stevens for advice and aid during the school year.

"Y" CABINET One of the oldest Y.M.C.A. organizations in the country, the Williston cabinet has always handled the school's benevolences. This year the "Y" cabinet, in addition to contributing to many worthy causes throughout the world, was instrumental in the collection of the money which went into the foundation of "The Williston Scholarship" at the American Internation College at Bierut, Arabia. The money necessary for the cabinet's work is raised through donations and subscriptions as well as the dances that are held during the course of the school year. Also, in tone with its philanthropic nature,the cabinet sponsors one-hundred clothing drives for needy people.

When first organized, the cabinet was intended to serve as a religious group; however, since then it has deviated from its original purpose and has devoted

itself to aiding mankind. Nevertheless, in line with its religious tradition, its members often preside over the school's regular evening chapel service.

One of the cabinet's most important functions is the annual "Buck Party," which is held at the beginning of the fall term. This gathering of the entire student body serves a dual purpose: it allows new and old boys to become acquainted, and it gives each new Willistonian the opportunity to display whatever talents he may possess.

Guided and directed by its faculty advisor, Mr. Lincoln D. Granniss, and capably lead by its president, Ralph Doe, this year's cabinet has continued its important work in its usual quiet and efficient manner.

ADELPHI GAMMA -SIGMA

62

Adelphi Gamma-Sigma Debating Society, the oldest organization in the school, was founded in the year 1870. This year has been an exceptionally fine one in the Society's history. An unusual number of boys turned out, making possible the best team to represent the school in interscholastic debates that Williston has had in a decade or more. The program during the fall was devoted to developing the talent of all members, juniors through seniors.

A fine debate was held on the subject of the United States elections. Both sides were ably defended; William Levine and Martin Kruger upheld the Democrats while Dick Dunbar and Lewis Rabinovitz represented the Republican side.

The officers for the first half year were: Westervelt Taylor, president; Donald Cutting, vice-president; and Edward Marcus, secretary-treasurer. For the second half year, the officers were: William Levine, president; Don Miller, vice-president; and Douglas Edler, secretary-treasurer. Adelphi was fortunate in having two very able faculty advisors in Mr. Lawton and Mr. Thomas.

SCIENCE CLUB The Williston Academy Science Club, during its second year under the direction of Mr. Howell, took great strides forward. It had numerous speakers come to the school and each gave interesting talks. Many of these speakers had movies or slides to accompany their talks.

Following a tradition begun last year, the feature speaker was Professor Charles Alexander of the University of Massachusetts. This year Professor Alexander's talk was high-lighted by color films concerning his summer spent in Alaska.

In December of 1952 the Science Club held elections. Those elected for 1953 were William Fickert, President; Richard Lightfoot, Vice-President; and Boyton Hussey, Secretary-Treasurer. The outgoing officers were Will Rogers, President; and Lou Stern, Secretary-Treasurer. Through the efforts of these officers, the Science Club doubled in enrollment this past year.

SAILING CLUB

This past year has been the second for the Sailing Club in the Williston extra cirricular program.

In the fall movies were shown of the Annapolis Regatta which Williston attended in the spring of 1952. During the past spring, Williston once again entered the regatta. Also, during the spring of 1953 the Sailing Club held a course in navigation on a near-by lake. Under the able direction of Mr. David

64

Stevens, the Sailing Club has gained great popularity with the Williston student body.

Officers elected for 1953 were Robert Barber, President; Kenneth Lundin, Vice-President; and Webster Collins, Secretary-Treasurer.

One of the aspects which interested the club members most was the showing of movies and slides throughout the season.

CHESS CLUB Many interesting Thursday evenings were had by the members of the Chess Club at the Plimpton Library. Keen competition was created by a tournament and won and loss rating for all players. For those who were eliminated from the Championship tournament there was a second contest later in the year. Many found that Chess, along with being a relaxing game, can develop that all-important ability of consentration.

The Chess Club is very fortunate in having as its adviser Mr. Thorner, who is not only a brilliant player but a collector of unusual chess sets of all kinds. The Club was shown these fine sets from time to time along with an interesting discussion on the history of the game.

This year, emphasis was placed on improvement of technique, which was shown increasingly as the year progressed. This was done by a chess clinic whereby a strong player would spend an evening instructing the newer, less experienced members in various openings and other tactics.

This was a very successful and enjoyable year for the Chess Club under the guidence of Mr. Thorner, and its officers, Herbert Franck„ president; Douglas Elder, vice-president; and Robert Secundy, secretary.

GLEE CLUB

DOUBLE QUINTET

To pay tribute to this year's group would be quite unnecessary in view of the fine showings witnessed by all. Prior to the first concert Mr. Teller hand an arduous task in classifying nearly fifty percent of the school for membership. Aided by Mr. Curtiss, the accompanist of the organization for many years, the Glee Club began the season with the annual Christmas Concert, a joint affair with the Northampton School for Girls. Throughout the rest of the year concerts were staged in Southampton, Amherst, and Easthampton, with the second annual Preparatory Schools Glee Club Festival in Northfield as the highlight of the year. The spring operetta also was responsible for a great deal of the interest invested in the organization.

A club is usually no better than its officers. This year the Glee Club was led by Martin Rubin, president; Ralph Doe, vice-president; and Marshall Lewis and Steve Bullock, managers. All of these were fine leaders.

The many participants and the fine nature of the music presented helped to make this year's club a greatly respected organization representing Williston at its finest.

Besides supplementing their talents to each scheduled Glee Club concert, this year's double quintet performed in six seperate concerts. Pursuing the idea of singing music of good taste and aiming at the high standard of perfection, the group consisted of seven seniors. The accompanist was Paul Steinberg, also a senior.

DRAMATIC CLUB The Williston Dramatic Club has presented its annual show for a great many years, and this year proved to be no exception. With Mr. Boardman at the helm, the members of the club, along with the Mask and Wig Society of the Northampton School for Girls, gave "Ladies Of The Jury" to the audience seated in the Recreation Center. The production was an amazing success as the subtle humor found in the lines of the three acts took hold with rapidity. Robert Condiles, as president of the club, was as humorous as always along with William Rogers, Guy Palmer, Louis Stern, Robert Merrow,Thomas Pincu, John McGillen, and Carter Marshall made "Ladies Of The Jury" a success.

In the fall, even more members presented a series of one act plays to the delight of those who viewed them. Thanks is due to Mr. David Stevens, who accompanied by Mr. Boardman, encouraged, harassed, and guided these future thespians. Webster Collins, as stage manager, and E. A. West, as chief electrician, deserve much credit in making the 1952-1953 Dramatic Club productions successes.

OUTING CLUB

70

During the past year a new club was formed at Williston by Mr. Lauman for boys who like the rugged outdoor life offered in Pioneer Valley. Each weekend a group of boys journeyed to the school cabin on a tract of land owned by the school in Southampton.

The trips have been very successful and they have attracted a large number of boys. The members hoped to sponsor a winter carnival during the winter term, but unfortunately, there were no available free weekends. They hope to have one next year instead. The officers of this club are: president, Merril E. Provost; vice-president, Kirkland Taylor; and secretary-treasure, Phillip J. DeCaro.

HONOR COMMITTEE

After a two-years' absence, the Honor Committee has once again returned to the scene. Its main function is to correct the bad habits of those boys who need special guidance.

The members of the committee do not have an easy task, for the character and mak-up of each offender must be taken into careful consideration. With all the various problems in mind, the board, under the leadership of Louis Stern, found that with the authority endowed to them by Mr. Stevens they could be of extremely useful help to the school in handling

delicate situations. All matters are conducted in complete secrecy so that there are no regularly scheduled meetings. Except for a second or egregious offence, not even the facutly is notified who the offenders are.

In this way the humiliation and shame which may result even to an innocent boy are cast aside and withheld from the public.

The graduating class of 1953 congratulates the Honor Committee for the fine job that was performed, and in turn the committee wishes to thank the faculty, student body, and above all, Mr. Stevens, for their contributions and willing cooperation.

THE WILLISTONIAN

During the last school year, The Willistonian surpassed its previous efforts and established a six page school newspaper. The firm hand of convention still ruled the paper, and yet the abundance of news and the accuracy of the reports were far ahead of former years. New, lively articles were added while stale ones were dismissed. Under the Board of Editors of The Willistonian, the undergraduate staff worked diligently throughout the year.

Martin Rubin as editor-in-chief performed an almost impossible task by running the paper and directing its course single-handedly. It has been the custom for the editors of the year before to elect co-editorsin-chief, but last year they chose differently, giving Martin the job alone. His splendid fulfillment of the responsibilities and duties of the job make him deserving of our praise. We of the Senior Class take our hats off to him for his fine work.

Craig Thorn was an excellent business manager.

His ability to handle the business affairs of The Willistonian made him a very valuable asset to the success of the paper. Under his reign was Cal Kogan as advertising manager, Webster Collins as circulation manager, and James Carr as exchange manager. All did equally fine work on the paper this past year, producing the greatest number of advertisements in the paper's history.

Working more jointly with "Mit" Rubin was Kel Cohen, Terry Light, Lou Stern, Lewis Rabinovitz, Will Rogers, and Boakfar Ketunuti. These boys were the Feature, Soprts, Copy, News,Executive, and Photography Editors respectively. Their efforts greatly contributed to the promptness of the issues when meeting a deadline.

Guided by Mr. C. G. Curtiss and Mr. Earl N. Johnston as faculty advisers, these seniors put out a fine example of secondary school journalism.

LOG ASSISTANTS

THE LOG For many years the Log has compiled within its pages a complete account of the student, faculty and activities of Williston Academy.

The executive committee, ably directed by the editor-in-chief, Peter Haug, has worked diligently and whole-heartedly in making this year's Log one long to be remembered. A large percentage of the credit should be extended to each separate department.

Managing editor Webster Collins and his associates, Herbert Franck and Robert Barber did an excellent job in the design and accumulation of material for this issue. A large portion of the literary articles were supervised and collected by the literary editor, Louis Stern, and his associates, John McGillen and Martin Rubin. Stanley Krok, the business manager, and his associate, S. Calvert Kogan, supplied time and effort in collecting and soliciting advertisements. Paul Steinberg, photography editor, and Donald Cutting, art editor worked together to make the pictorial section outstanding. The combined initiative of the students who accumulated photographs, advertisements, and who assisted with the artistic and literary work, have made this year's Log a typical symbol of the life at Williston.

The entire staff is deeply indebted to the faculty adviser, Mr. Earl N. Johnston, whose final approval made possible this visible remembrance of the Class of 1953.

ATHLETIC ADVISORY BOARD This year, as in years past, the student representatives of the Athletic Advisory Board, in conjunction with its faculty members, acted as the guides and organizers of the school athletic program. The student members of the board were invariably boys who had been outstanding in Williston's athletic life. The faculty members represented the coaches of the various varsity sports. At the end of each of the three athletic seasons, the board performed two principal duties. First, it awarded athletic letters to those boys who showed creditable and satisfactory performances in each respective sport. Second, the board chose the boys who are to become the managers in each sport for the next year.

This past year, the members unanimously voted to award sweaters with the school letter sewn on them, rather than the individual letter alone. This decision met with much praise from faculty and students alike.

For this, as well as its other responsibilities, the Williston Athletic Advisory Board deserves full credit for a job well done.

CHEERLEADERS 007 During the fall of 1952, the spectator in the Williston stands could see, without a doubt, that the cheerleaders were the heartiest supporters of the footmall team. The spirit shown at the Loomis game was proof of the wonderful job these boys did. Though only tllrcc n ntrmber, Pact and Joseph Schiavone often made as much noise as the student body during the rallies for the football and soccer teams. When anyone looks back on the spirit of the school at athletic contests, one will always remember these cheerleaders.

FOOTBALL The 1952 Williston football team will not be remembered as outstanding as far as wins and losses go, but it had more than its share of spirit and school support. Fate frowned upon the team in that it had more than four times the usual number of injuries and in a school as small as Williston these injuries hurt the strength of the team a great deal.

The finest game with an undefeated Hotchkiss power-house ended with a loss for the Blue and Gold 19-0, and also, its loss of three players. Among these was co-captain St. John, who was not able to play again until the Deerfield game. This was a most damaging injury. The team then faced a strong Mt. Hermon squad and lost 34-6. Next Williston lost a heartbreaker to Loomis. In this game Williston led until the last quarter when Loomis scored on a pass. The Blue and Gold pulled off their first win against Vermont Academy in a close 13-7 duel.

The Lashmen then faced a vengeful and powerful Deerfield team. Despite its best efforts, Williston was over powered 40-12. For the final game, the Blue and Gold faced a Kimble Union team that had tied the mighty Hermonites. With renewed spirit and drive the team made its last effort an upset with a 34-14 victory for Williston.

Honors go to co-captains Thomas St. John and Martin Rubin for their consistantly fine play and their excellent leadership, and also to coach Lash and his able assistants, Mr. Gebhard. and Mr. Waskiewicz, for their untiring, and resourceful efforts to improve the team.

SOCCER With only five varsity lettermen returning, the 1952 Soccer season looked very doubtful in the eyes of the coaches. But as practices increased, a wellbalanced eleven developed into an evtremely potent squad. The team opened with an impressive 5-0 shutout over Cushing. Suffield then invaded Galbraith Field only to be stopped 1-0 by the strong defensive play of the fullbacks, Rex Aubrey and Bob Newcombe. Traveling to Mt. Hermon, the booters dumped a strong Hermonite eleven 3-1 to remain the only prep-school team to defeat the Maroon and White during the last four seasons. After trouncing Monson 4-0 and Worcester 3-1, the team then faced two colleg freshmen teams and defeated them by identical scores of 1-0 with Dick Summers scoring the winning goal in each of the contests. These wins thus far had brought the booters into the Deerfield game with fiffteen straight without a defeat. With the contest on ice until seconds before the half, the Green tide scored and eventually won 3-0, leaving the Blue and Gold squad with a seven and one record. In the final game the team trounced Loomis 3-0 to finish a most successful season with an impressive eight and one record.

Offensively, the booters scored 21 goals during the season; Cooper notching 8, Summers 5 and co-captain Rogers 3. Defensively, co-captain Dick Dunbar,goalie, held the opponents to but 5 goals in nine games, six of these games being shutouts which brought his final two-year total to 9 shutouts and 11 goals scored on him in 17 games. Azar, Cooper, Ketunuti, Cutting, Summers and Rogers were the mainstays of the team as were Carroll and Burns, next year's co-captains.

Although the team did not finish with out a defeat, it may be said that the booters were one of the most outstanding teams produced in many years at Williston.

BASKETBALL

Hook Shot by Barstow

The Williston basketball team, hampered by the loss of one of its stalwarts, Tommy St. John, opened its season by losing to Vermont and Monson 31-57 and 40-45, respectively. In these two games, Kip Swan was the main scoring punch with Mit Rubin, Bob Barnini, Wally Darden, and Dick Barstow supplying the defensive power. On January 17, the team played stellar ball, winning their first game against Cranwell, 50-38. An injury to high scorer Kip Swan weakened the team, and they lost to a hard-driving Cushing quintet. Against Suffield, Wasky's Wildcats played their finest game in an exciting contest. Led by Mit Rubin, who dumped in fifteen points, the team lost by a mere two points, 50-52. On January 31, the team traveled to Wilbrahain and triumphed, 54-42. The uncanny dribbling of Wally Darden and the splendid shooting of Kip Swan led the aggregation to their second victory of the season. The quintet dropped their next game to a superior M. Hermon squad. After the Mt. Hermon loss, Williston journeyed to Loomis on February 11, and nosed out the Loomis squad in an exciting, aggrressive contest, 47-45. The following three games, although very disappointing to the team, showed spendid improvement from the opening game.

The team lost to Amherst, 36-43, to Deerfield, 5560, and again to Mt. Hermon,49-66. On February 25, Williston played unstoppable ball against a highlyrated Worcester quintet which had only dropped one game until they met Williston. The team rolled up a 55-53 victory. Led by Mit Rubin and Bob Barnini, Williston illustrated their tremendous improvment.

On Feburary 28, the Williston squad reigned victorious for the second straight game defeating Wilbraham, 58-35, before an enthusiastic home crowd. The team met with defeat in the last game at Deerfield, 56-77. Although the team's record was not particularly admirable, the squad showed great improvement and displayed fine sportsmanship.

HOCKEY

This year the hockey team's record was not in the least impressive. However, the record does not tell of the spirit and of the drive held against truly fine competition. The squad was hindered by a lack of experience with only three returning lettermen. On top of this, the larg majority of the games were scheduled with vastly superior teams as the scores show.

Mr. Stevens, the new hockey coach, should be congratulated for doing a good job considering the amount of time he was able to spend with the team.

Congratulations should also be extended to assistant coach Mr. Lossone.

The first line consisted of captain Kogan, Brukl, and Provost. Kogan was high scorer of the season.

This line worked together for the larger part of the season until Provost was sidelined with an injury. The second line consisted of DeCaro, Lightfoot, and Richman. This line's improvement during the season was indeed remarkable as none of the three had played the previous year. The defense was very capably handled

by Scott and Lundin, both of whom were on the ice for the full three periods of every game. They did their best to stave off the rushes and breaks of the opponents. The goal was tended by last year's goalie Jake McGillen, who did a very commendable job upholding his responsibility of being the last man between the opponents and the net.

SWIMMING The 1953 Williston swimming team was not only the most successful the school has ever had, but it may will have been the greatest secondary school swimming team ever organized. It ranked with the top ten teams in the country, including college varsities.

The team's power lay in a combination of such swimmers as Don Miller, national prep school breaststroke champion; Rex Aubrey of the 1952 Australian Olympic Team; Ted FitzSimons, National prep school 200 yd. freestyle champion; and Jack Erickson, the New England diving champion. The team also owed much to Chip Ide, a phenomenal sprinter; AllAmerican Skip Kurrus, an excellen freestyler; Stan Krok, a powerful backstroker; and Dick Moisan, a fine individual medley man.

The team found little competition with most schools. The Trinity and Amherst Frosh fell easy prey to the Blue and Gold, but a powerful Hotchkiss squad gave Williston its first good meet, losing by only nine points. The team then had little trouble beating Mt. Hermon and Springfield Tech. In the latter meet, Aubrey broke the National Prep school twenty yard course 100 yd. freestyle record, and teamed with Miller and Krok to crack the 180 yd. medley relay record also. Deerfield was easily beaten; the followed the St. Georges' meet in which the National Prep school 300 yd. medley relay record was broken, and in which Williston gained another win.

The squad suffered its only defeat at the hands of the powerful Yale Freshmen. Although defeated, Williston was the first school to press a Yale swimming team to the limit in ten years. The Blue and Gold then easily beat Westminster and Worcester. In the former meet the National Prep school 200 yd. freestyle record was broken.

The team then went on to win the Trinity Interscholastics from a host of other Prep schools. Next came the challenge of the New England Interscholastics at Andover. The outlook was dismal for Williston going into the finals, but the team displayed some of the finest clutch swimming ever seen. The medley relay team came from behind to nose out Exteter; FitzSimons touched out Cornwall of Andover in a thrilling 200 yd. freestyle race; Chip Ide beat out Andover's Ogden; but in the most thrilling race of all, Miller overcame Fauk of Exeter to win one of the greatest breaststroke events ever witnessed. Williston won with 81 points to Andover's 55.

The credit for this outstanding season goes both to co-captains Miller and FitzSimons for their fine example and leadership, and to coach Babcock for his untiring efforts and planning that made this fine record possible.

Again, as in the past two years, the varsity ski squad was greatly hampered by the lack of sufficient snow for either practice or scheduled meets. After spending nearly three week laboring on the side of Mt. Tom preparing for the anticipated winter, the team, led by captain Brad Milne, was held to one meet all season. For this meet, they traveled to the Cummington Bowl to compete against Westfield High School team. The Blue and Gold made a good showing considering the small amount of practice they had in preparation for the meet. The team had scheduled seven meets. Coached by Paul Laurent and David Stevens, the team showed great potentialities in the efforts of Charlie Schlesinger, Mike Ginn, Ray Montgomery, and Bill Clark. A bright spot in the short season was perhaps the weekly Sunday trips to Cummington and some nearby ski resorts by some of the more experienced members. If the weather prevails favorably next year, the returning team members may have a chance to redeem this season's efforts with more meets and, of course, more victories.

SQUASH Although the Williston squash team had a record of only one victory and six defeats, it played well and contested strongly in every match. A factor that hampered this year's squad was the fact that they played every match on visitation courts.

Squash has suddenly become a very popular winter sport at Williston. Mr. Tuttle, however, was a little disappointed in the fact that so few underclassmen came out. The mainstays of Mr. Tuttle's team were Will Rogers, Billy Cooper, Don Cutting, Boakfar Ketunuti, and Daryouch Hakim.

The team traveled to many schools including Deefield, Choate, Amherst Freshmen. and Trinity Freshmen. Thy had two matches with each of these schools and one with Loomis. They defeated Choate once.

Looking ahead to next year, the prospect is somewhat despairing.

The outstanding underclassman is Bob Zarchen, who has two more years at the Academy. He was seventh man on this year's team. Others who show promise are Secundy, Marchand, and Brukl.

VARSITY BASEBALL At the time this article was written, the varsity baseball team had had regular practice for only three days; however, the Wildcats revealed great possibilities for a very outstanding season after a 10 to 6 victory over Suffield Academy. The returning veterans from last year's squad were Bob Hall, captain, Terry Light, and Mit Rubin. Williston predicts great results under the capable leadership of Messrs. Lash and Gebhard. New prospects such as Bob Barnini, Dick Barstow, Guy Palmer, and Lou Stern add greatly to the team's cause. On comparing last year's team with

Instructions from Coach

Gehhard

the present varsity, one finds that this year Williston is more fortunate, for it can now rely upon long-ball hitters such as Barstow, Palmer, and Rubin. Our pitching staff shows some signs of weakness, but with more practice games and training, Mike Polzwartek and Marc Richman will undoubtedly prove to be of great value throughout the remainder of the season.

We are proud to have a team with qualities of good sportsmanship and the will to win, representing Williston Academy this season.

Over the bar

TRACK As Mr. Howell takes over as head coach of the 1953 Williston track team, the season appears to have the possibilities of a very successful climax. Lead by Dick Dunbar, a javelin thrower, the team has a great deal more depth than has been seen in a Blue and Gold track squadron for some years. Returning veterans include Finegold and Doe in the hurdles; Taylor, Reece, and Parks in the high-jump; McGillen in the discus and shot; and Boggio, Collins, and Cutting in the distance runs. Although the squad lost the services of last year's seniors, newcomers such as Aubrey in the 220, quarter-mile, and broad jump; Ide in the 100, 220, and broad-jump; and French, Rival,

Mr. 11.0‘Ve1l

ShOWS 110W

ICS (1011C

and Moisan in the distances help to round out, along with many other potential point-winners, a fine, wellbalanced team that should finish the season with a better-than-average record.

The opening meet, immediately following the intra-school Kennedy meet, is against Mt. Hermon.

Following in succession are the Vermont meet, the Loomis-Deerfield triangular meet, the Wilbraham meet, and the Amherst Interscholastics. The sky is bright, the forecast is strong, and in all respects, the 1953 team should be a fine representative of Williston in the coming campaigns. Joining the coaching staff is Mr. Culver, taking charge of the weights.

A tough shot

VARSITY TENNIS The tennis team started its practice immediately after Spring vacation. Because of the weather, the squad, under the excellent tutorage of Mr. Tuttic and Mr. Hepworth, played indoors for the initial two weeks of the season.

An interesting item about the tennis team is the number of foreign students who participate. Both Bokfar Ketunuti and Billy Cooper, who played on last year's squad, are back this year along with a new

student, Daryoush Hakim.

Along with these three boys are Charlie Brukl, Billy Aydelotte, Steve Bullock, Craig Thorn, and Joe Shiavone. Mr. Hepworth's team should survive the "battles" with an excellent record.

Looking ahead to next year, Heppy has Aydelotte, Brukl, and Shiavone returning from this year's varsity.
