In gratitude to Earl Nelson Johnston for his thirty-six years of invaluable guidance to Williston students, and in remembrance of twenty-four years as adviser to THE LOG, we the Senior Class, the last to benefit by the qualities which have made Mr. Johnston so unforgettable a figure on the Williston scene,do proudly dedicate the 1954 LOG as a tribute to him.

Pictured above are the LOGS from 1931 to 1954 for which Mr. Johnston served as the faculty adviser.

PREFACE

Growth is life itself and one cannot exclude from this the development of institutions as well as beings. Williston Academy is like a boy who progressed from early childhood; beginning merely as a one-building Seminary, the school developed through stages of physical growth until the present time existence of Williston on one campus.

More important than the physical aspects is the intellectual advancement of the school and its purpose in guiding youth. Following the pattern of the time, Samuel Williston designed a school for the pursuit of the classics, but as decades passed, the school, like a maturing youth, turned towards broader fields, and introduced science into its curriculum.

Again, to keep abreast of the time, Williston adopted a liberal educational program in a desire to produce young men well suited for their place in the world.

The theme of this LOG is the ideal of the founder, to educate and aid the growth of mankind. Though the buildings, faculty, and curriculum might change, the ideal of spiritual, intellectual, and physical growth will always remain steadfast.

JOSEPH EDWARD BOGGIO "Joe"

132 Beech St., Holyoke, Mass.

College Choice: Worcester Polytechnic Institute

Entered Williston: 1953

Football 4(W); Glee Club 4.

Although only a one-year student at Williston, Joe's friendly attitude and congenial personality made him wellliked by all. His unassuming quietness, in addition to his athletic prowess and mathematical brilliance, earned him respect among his classmates. In the long run these characteristics should carry Joe far in life; the class of 1954 will not forget him.

MELVIN PHILIP BOND "Mel"

116 Cottage St., Easthampton, Mass.

College Choice: Wesleyan

Entered Williston: 1952

Log 4, Co-Business Manager 4; Willistonian 4, Advertising Manager 4; Student Council 4; Adelphi-Gamma-Sigma 3, 4, President first half year 4.

Mel's scholastic ability, mingled with extra-curricular activity, proved him to be a very ambitious person interested in all phases of school life. Although he was a day student, Mel was frequently seen in Ford Hall throughout the year and became an adopted member of the dormitory. A student of high standing, Mel hopes to attend one of the small New England colleges. We take our hats off to a fine member of the graduating class.

JOHN BOWLES "Barney"

1 Crescent Hill, Springfield, Mass.

College Choice: Undecided

Entered Williston: 1952

Football 3(W),4(W); Basketball 3(W); Baseball 3(W); Honor Board 4; Outing Club 3, 4; Athletic Advisory Board 3,4.

John, in his two years at Williston, has certainly done more than his share of work. With all his extra-curricular activities he was kept quite busy, but his grades did not suffer. His classmates showed their appreciation of his athletic efforts by electing him to the Athletic Advisory Board two straight years. With a record like his, John should be able to succeed in whatever he does.

JAY STEPHEN BRISK

"Jay"

321 Melbourne Rd., Great Neck, N. Y.

College Choice: Amherst

Year Entered: 1953

Adelphi 4; Dramatic Club 4; Willistonian 4; Cheerleader 4.

Echoes of Shakespeare and vibrations of Shostakovich will haunt the hall of the third floor in Ford many years after Jay leaves. His profound knowledge of music and literature and an abundance of unique humor crystallized into a person that no one could possibly dislike. Jay contributed greatly to the life at Williston, and we will feel a great loss when the class of '54 graduates.

JAY ALLEN BROWN "Cap"

15 Coburn Rd., Manchester, Conn.

College Choice: University of Pennsylvania

Year Entered: 1952

Science Club 3, 4; Sailing Club 3; Radio Club 3, 4; Log 4; Dramatic Club 3.

Jay, whose voice has been heard throughout the country and on television sets in Easthampton, has contributed much to Williston. Under his leadership the Williston Radio Club was born and matured. The combination of compatibility and a human interest in others won Jay many friends and brightened up the days of others. We of The Log wish him good luck in the years ahead.

WALTER MAHLON BROWN "Wally"

24 East St., Southampton, Mass.

College Choice: Bates

Year Entered: 1951

Basketball 2, 3(W),4(W), Captain 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4.

Wally, although a day boy, has won his share of laurels and lasting friendships on the campus of Williston. Captain of the '54 basketball squad, he has displayed great leadership qualities. An excellent student, as well as sportsman, "Browny" has a very pleasing and jovial personality. Wally has been an active member of the Glee Club as well as various other activities around school. Williston loses one of her best with the graduation of this boy.

CHARLES EUGENE BRUKL "Brule"

"Brule" has had his hands into something or onto something ever since he has been at the Academy, and he has always accomplished what he set out to do. The tennis courts and hockey rink will seem desolate without his effervescent personality gracing their surface; the halls of Ford and Memorial will definitely lack his ringing voice and high-pitched laughter. He should go far in college and business with his sincerity and ambition.

RICHARD BRUCE BURNHAM "Dick"

12 Canterbury Turnpike, Norwichtown, Conn. College Choice: Bates

Entered Williston: 1952

Baseball 3, Baseball Manager 4(W); Science Club 4; Outing Club 4.

Dick found many friends in his two-year stay at Williston. His constant good humor and even temper earned for him an everlasting respect from his classmates. A valuable member of the Science Club and Outing Club, as well as baseball manager, Dick made a fine reaird at Williston. We wish him good luck in anything he may undertake.

The steaming jungles of South America gave to Williston an unforgettable personality. "Banana Boats," aside from his habitual neatness, will be noted for his prowess on the soccer field as a Co-captain and for his jump from manager to participant on the swimming team. In the years to come, we feel the "Boat's" name will not be forgotten, and we wish him the success he so rightfully deserves.

EDWIN MANROSS BURR, II "Spud"

39 Washington St., Forestville, Conn.

College Choice: R. P. L.

Entered Williston: 1950

Swimming 2(W),3(W),4(W); Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3,4; Sailing Club 2, 3, 4.

Spud,one of the stalwart individuals who went through four years at Williston, was one of the most popular students of his class. Always in a good humor, always ready with a joke, he was constantly the center of some of the school's best bull sessions. In addition, his varsity swimming kept him in the rank of athletes. With his personality and ability to succeed, Spud is sure to go far in any field he may attempt.

Bob, a four-year man, figured very prominently in the school's activities. His ambition and desire to get ahead enabled him to capture the co-captaincy of soccer. He has worked industriously in all phases of school life and maintained a high scholastic average. He will undoubtedly go far in future years.

c/o Marion H. Lewis, Marshall Ridge Rd., New Canaan, Ct.

College Choice: Amherst, Yale

Entered Williston: 1953

Soccer 4(W); Swimming 4; Tennis 4; Glee Club 4.

At first no one knew whether Bill came from Belgium or Connecticut, but it didn't make any difference. He began early to win himself fame at Williston with his soccer prowess. His efforts helped considerably in the achievement of this year's fine soccer record. Bill's energetic drive and story-telling skills will be remembered long after he graduates.

CHARLES JOSEPH CONSTANTIN, JR. "Tex"

4412 Lakeside Dr., Dallas, Texas

College Choice: Yale or Washington and Lee

Entered Williston: Fall, 1953

Football 4(W); Swimming 4.

"Tex" travelled across half a continent to come to Williston. It was a source of much enjoyment to hear him tell his stories and fables of the state he left behind. Because of his practical joking and constant good nature, "Tex" cut himself a permanent notch at Williston. His football and basketball talents combined to make him one of the better athletes of the school. We wish "Tex" the best of luck in his future endeavors.

Len has compiled an enviable record in two short years at Williston. An understanding and comparable attitude as well as a desire to succeed in everything he did enabled Len to become a leader in his class. An equal balance between humor and seriousness proved essential in his success. We will always remember him as ready and willing to support student activities from the operetta to football. Many will miss Len after the class of '54 graduates.

JAMES EDWARD DOWD "Jim"

53 Cherrlyn Street, Springfield, Mass.

College Choice: Amherst

Entered Williston: 1953

Football 4(W); Willistonian 4.

A newcomer to Williston, Jim's quiet unassuming temperament and persistent ambition won him many friends. He displayed his athletic ability by being a member of the once-defeated varsity football team. His versatility and ambition were further shown by his belonging to the Willistonian. Jim, a popular student around school, will go far with these attributes. He will be a good representative of Williston wherever he goes.

DONALD LEE DUNCAN "Dunc"

816 Inez Street, Memphis, Tennessee

College Choice: Yale

Entered Williston: 1953

Soccer 4; Swimming 4(W); Track 4; Log (Business Staff) 4; Willistonian (Business Staff) 4; Outing Club 4.

One of the representatives of the deep south this year, Don was quickly accepted into our class, and he made himself very popular using his subtle wit given in that slow southern drawl. Don was one of the important figures in the success of this year's swimming team. The pictures of post-dance capers will long be remembered by the members of our class. Without a doubt Don will do well in college.

Football 3; Swimming 3, Manager 4(W); Log 4, Associate Editor 4; Willistonian 3,4,Editorial Advisor 4; Outing Club 4; Tea Committee 3, 4, Chairman 4.

Tom, the friendliest and most humorous inhabitant of the third floor museum, will be remembered for his wide smiles and cheerful greetings. A booster of the dejected and an adviser for the confused, he maintained a happy attitude throughout his stay at Williston. Tom was engrossed with working on the Willistonian, the Log, and management of the swimming team, but he nevertheless found time to relax his large frame. Luck to the boy with the big grin.

DOUGLAS CADY ELDER "Doug"

70 Sunset Avenue, Amherst, Mass.

College Choice: Tufts

Entered Williston: 1952

Football 3, 4(W); Chess Club 3, 4; Debating Club 3, 4.

Doug has proved an asset to Williston in his two years here. His ostensibly quiet manner was frequently broken as he joined into the discussions and activity in the dorm. Doug will always be remembered as a sincere person ready to help anyone or give his services to any organization.

WORTH ALFRED FAUVER "Worthless"

133 Columbus St., Elyria, Ohio

College Choice: Amherst

Year Entered: 1952

Tennis 3, 4; Soccer 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Student Council 4. "Worthless", quiet and conscientious, has proved a valuable asset to the Class of '54. Whether swinging a tennis racket or checking rooms in Ford, he always undertook his activities with a combination of seriousness and a tinge of playfulness which pleased everyone. To the traveler from Ohio go our best wishes in the future.

WILLIAM CARL FICKERT, JR. "Bill"

Bill moved into Ford Hall during the winter term. Immediately, he was a versatile and essential part of life in the dorm. Before and after study hours, this popular host's room was filled with people talking, singing, and laughing. Bill contributed greatly to both athletic and extra-curricular activities, besides fulfilling his scholastic obligations. We are sure that this friendly member of the class will go far in college.

Diverting his ability to athletics, he easily won a berth on the varsity tennis squad; also, he was elected co-captain of the squash team. The Class of '54 wishes Daryoush great success in coming years.

Success in school is greatly aided by activities other than academic courses. Clubs and associations at Williston broaden a boy's view of life and bring out, sometimes, dormant abilities and interests that make life more enjoyable.

DEBATING CLUB

ADELPHI GAMMA SIGMA

Mr. Lawton

Mr. Thomas

The Adelphi Gamma Sigma Debating Society, the oldest organization in the school, has enjoyed one of the finest years in the society's history. Strengthened by the addition of numerous new members, the debating club has moved rapidly forward. Early in the winter term a debate was held with Wilbraham Academy. Williston, represented by an affirmative team of Mel Bond, Jay Brisk, and Guy Cambria, and a negative team composed of Peter Van Dine, Brian Flynn, and Bob Zarchen, did an exceptionally fine job, giving evidences of a promising future. The school was not disappointed. Meeting Mount Hermon soon afterwards, the teams, led by faculty advisers Mr. Lawton and Mr. Thomas, showed exceptionally fine poise and speaking ability. The climax of the school year came when Deerfield, Mount Hermon, and Williston met in a triangular debate, the winners keeping, for a year, a silver trophy generously donated by the three schools.

The officers for the first half-year were: Mel Bond, president; Douglas Elder, vicepresident; and Arthur Norris, secretary-treasurer. For the second half-year the officers were: Arthur Norris, president; Bob Zarchen, vice-president; and Herb Varnum,secretarytreasurer.

CHESS CLUB

Many enjoyable Thursday evenings were spent in Plimpton Library by members of the Chess Club. Under the able supervision of Mr. H. E. Thorner, the players discovered that chess not only is highly entertaining but also is educational in that it develops the power of concentration.

Members experienced and learned the values of competition by participating in the two informal tournaments that were held during the year. The players were rated both on their won-lost records and on the comparative strengths of their opponents. Kent Vandewater, Douglas Elder, and Robert Secundy led the chess club in the first tournament.

Through experience, instruction, and studying to improve their techniques, the players learned to get the fullest advantage from each move. The educational value of the meetings was increased additionally by Mr. Thorner's discussions on the history of the game and by the club's being shown from time to time his fine collection of chess sets.

The officers, Elder Vandewater, and Secundy, president, vice-president, and secretary respectively, deserve much of the credit for the club's success throughout the year.

This year the Dramatic Club undertook an extremely heavy schedule, including the presentation of three one-act plays in the fall.

"Nerves", under the direction of Mr. Boardman, starred Bill Opsahl, Bob Merrow, and Frank Harbison.

Mr. Stawarky directed Milo Perichitch's translation of "Jerry's Rogueries" from Moliere.

"Pyramus and Thisbe" from Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream" was exteremely well staged by Mr. Buell, with Dick Mann and Moe Kelley taking the leads.

One of the most arduous tasks ever undertaken by the club was the complete version of Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew", directed by Mr. Boardman, and assisted by Mr. Buell. One of the unique features of this production was the Glee Club and Double Quartet, assisted by singers from the Northampton School for Girls, presenting delightful interludes.

George Pezzini and Robert Merrow had the leads, assisted by Richard Mann, Joe Harbison, Fitzmaurice Kelly, and Milo Perichitch.

Not appearing in the lime light, but nevertheless of first rate importance, was the very capable stage crew headed by Spud Burr.

Ha-NOR BOARD

The Honor Board Committee again marks 1954 as a successful year in its efforts to direct the students on a path of honesty and fair play. Contrary to popluar belief, the honor board is not a police force; its purpose isn't solely to punish those who are malefactors. Instead its purpose is to help boys see their mistakes before serious trouble and bad habits develop. The Honor Board's purpose and excuse for being is not to punish but, as a group of boys, to direct toward honesty and cooperation in studies and with teachers. The board helps to solve some of the students' problems apart from the rest of the school and within the secrecy of the board. Except for a second or egregious offence, not even the faculty is notified who the offenders are. To deal with offences is not an easy task, for each case must be dealt with individually and cautiously. With the cooperation of Mr. Stevens, the faculty, and the Student Council, the members of the Honor Board are proud to say that much has been accomplished this year, under the leadership of Buzz Hussey, in keeping dishonesty in scholastic work and theft at a minimum and helping boys to take pride in their studies.

OUTING CLUB

With Jim French as president, Bob Merrow as vice-president, and Wally Burns as secretary, the Outing Club started out the 1953-1954 year with a trip to the Dartmouth Outing Club cabin at Woodstock, Vermont, on the weekend of November 15. The fall and winter terms have proved too busy for many trips, but during the spring, several

outings to the Williston Cabin in Southampton were forthcoming. Under the able guidance of Mr. Lauman and Mr. Stawarky, the Outing Club has had another successful season, and eagerly looks forward to next year.

The Williston Academy Glee Club, directed by Messrs. Teller and Curtis, has again compiled a very creditable record for the school. The largest single extra-curricular activity of the school, the 1954 Glee Club was composed of 55 voices. It has performed, after many arduous rehearsals, with a great deal of skill throughout a very well-rounded schedule.

The Glee Club opened its extermely busy season with the annual Christmas Concert, held jointly with the choir of the Northampton School for Girls. Throughout the remainder of the year, concerts were held with the Smith College Freshman Choir at Smith Vespers, at Northfield in the third annual Preparatory Schools Glee Club Festival, in the Recreation Center on Father's Day at Southampton on May 7, with the Chaffee School for Girls on May 8, and at both Baccalaureate and Commencement services in June. Small groups of the Club also made appearances at the Spring Choral Festival of Secondary Schools, consisting of 15 schools, and the Williston Dramatic Club presentation of the Taming of the Shrew.

The officers of the '54 club were as follows: president, Jim French; vice-president, Warren Rival; and managers Walter Burns and Leonard Dineen. All of these were very fine, active leaders.

Mr. Curtiss

DOUBLE QUARTET

SCHOOL BAND

The double quartet this year was not as active as in past years, as it did not have a schedule of separate programs. The quartet nevertheless did undertake a well-rounded program by appearing in almost all of the regular Glee Club concerts other than the Smith vespers service and the Northfield concert. The group performed at the joint Williston-Northampton School Christmas concert with the Northampton School's double sextet on Father's day and the Southampton programs and at the joint Williston-Chaffee Girls' School concert here in May.

The quartet was composed of Al Gengras, Bill Opsahl, Tony Perry, and Andy McKee, tenors; and Warren Rival, Jim French, Al Strang, and Andy Willcox, bases. Of these, Warren Rival and Al Strang were two-year members while Andy Willcox was a three-year man.

The Williston Academy Radio Club, founded this year under the direction of Mr. John C. Stawarky, made excellent progress. After much hard work it put an amateur radio station on the air, using the call letters W1V1U/1. The station consists of a 500-watt transmitter, a speech amplifier, and two receivers. Many messages were handled for the students to points all over the world. Contacts were also made with other amateur stations all over the United States.

The purpose of his club is to make its members familiar with all aspects of amateur radio, and to instruct them in the material needed to obtain an amateur radio license. The main part of this instruction consists of weekly code classes.

The third week in January of 1954 the Radio Club elections. Those elected for 1954 were: Jay Brown, president; and James Wright, vice-president. It was decided that the vice-president shall have the duties of secretary-treasurer. It was also decided that the vice-president elected shall be an underclassman and that he shall act as president from September until the elections in January of the following year.

Through the efforts of the members, the officers, and Mr. Stawarky, the Radio Club's first year has been a great success, and it hopes to do even bigger things in the future.

SAILING CLUB

1953 has been a blue ribbon year for the Sailing Club. Under the mentorship of Messrs. Stevens and Cram, the club participated in a regatta sponsored by the Schools Sailing Club at 'Wakefield, Mass. The fall sailing was terminated by a race with the freshman crew at Wesleyan University, which ended in a tie. Extensive spring sailing has been planned, including a trip to Marblehead. A welcome addition to the club was made late in the fall in the form of two Waterbug class Dinghies. The boys refitted the boats during the winter months. Films on racing and sailing rules were seen throughout the year. Kelley and Van Riper, elected to the Program committee, were responsible for this portion of the program.

The officers elected for 1954 were: Alan Strang, president; Sidney Mook, vice-president; and Jack McGrail, secretary-treasurer.

Again the climax of the season will be the Interscholastic Regatta, which is to be held at the Coast Guard Academy in New London instead of at Annapolis, the former location. Last year Williston's crew tied with Tabor Academy for third place. Alan Strang was elected by the 1953 crews as the year's Student Representative. With Al as Skipper, the boys are hoping to better last year's excellent showing.

THE LOG

Within the few pages of this book is the record of accomplishments and activities of our last year at prep-school. The editors of this Log have tried to produce a yearbook that the class of '54 can be proud of and will not soon forget. The task of compiling a year's experience in so few pages is a difficult job, and only through the combined efforts of the editors, assistants, and advisers could this be accomplished.

A great deal of credit should be extended to Richard Mann and Melvin Bond, cobusiness managers; whose efforts made this publication possible. With the financial end taken care of, the actual writing and assembling of the Log was completed under the watchful eye of Editor-in-chief Raymond Montgomery. The literary department proved effective under the guidance of Jack McGrail and William Fickert.

Important to the success of any publication is the photographic work. David Salzman led his assistants about the campus recording for posterity all athletic events and dormitory life. Dick Lightfoot was forced to resign his position as Art Editor because of illness, but Edwin Burr did an excellent job filling this position. The writing, photographs, and art work would be useless without the continuity of planning produced through the efforts of Charles Brukl, managing editor.

Due credit should be given to the executive committee's assistants who did the basic work of typing, getting ads, and collecting information. Richard and Michael Lockshin, Frederick Wood,Pat Deliso, and Joseph Harbison are commended for faithful work done this year.

The Log is greatly indebted to Earl N. Johnston and David Stevens, faculty advisers, whose continual guidance enabled the Log to be published.

SCIENCE CLUB

SCIENCE CLUB

The Williston Academy Science Club, under the able direction of Mr. Howell, again proved one of the most popular organizations in the school. With the purpose of benefiting any student, regardless of whether or not he was taking a science course, the club provided a steady program of interesting speakers and educational movies. Each speaker and movie covered a different phase of science, presenting to the members a great variety of worthwhile topics.

As is its custom, the club again went on its yersly field trip, this time to the Nickel Cadmium Battery Corporation, one of the town's many industries. This firm, maker of Mr. Howell

life-time batteries, provided a highlight in the club's program, showing the construction of the battery and its many uses. With a picnic at the school cabin in the spring, the Science Club ended another successful year.

In January the club elected Michael Lockshin, president, and Charles Schlesinger, secretary-treasurer. The outgoing officers were William Fickert, president, Richard Lightfoot, vice-president, and Boynton Hussey, secretary-treasurer.

STUDENT COUNCIL

Ranking high in both integrity and admiration, the Student Council is probably the most important organization in the school. Each year, members of this body, elected by their respective classes, are recognized for their honesty and natural capacity for leadership in the school community.

Without question, the Council's most important job is to promote harmonious relations between students and faculty members. As in the past years, the Council of 1954 has conscientiously endeavored to fulfill this phase of its numerous responsibilities.

In addition, the Council also performs other duties which go into the making of a smoothly-run school. In the dormitories, the members check rooms in the morning, supervise evening study hours, and check rooms again at "lights." Socially, the Council is also active. Its members sponsor a dance once during the school year. In the fall council

members return to school a day early to assist the administration in ironing out last minute problems and in acquainting new boys with various phases of school life. In chapel, the council rotates with the "Y" Cabinet, reading from the Bible twice weekly. As in past years, Council members possess the prerogative of putting boys on bounds for infractions of school rules.

The Council was fortunate this year in that it had as officers three of the school's most able boys. Len Dineen proved himself a near perfect president. Rounding out a superior group of officers were Warren Rival, vice-president, and Carter Marshall, secretary. Acting independently of any faculty adviser, the Council nevertheless turned to Mr. Stevens for valuable advice on important issues, throughout the school year.

The Willistonian of 1954 will truly be remembered as one of the best in the school's history. Using newspaper "gimmicks" and assisted by superb news coverage, the Willistonian never failed to catch the eye of the student body, which eagerly awaited each publication date. The conservative hand of convention still ruled, but the abundance of news and the excellent cooperation by the administration placed this year's paper far ahead of those of past years. Numerous scoops and lively articles were added, while stale ones disappeared. Under the Editorial Board, the undergraduate staff worked diligently, never failing to make a "dead-line."

Editor-in-chief Carter Marshall performed an almost impossible task by running the paper and directing its course single-handedly. It has been the custom in past years to elect co-editors-in-chief, but this year the staff chose differently, giving Carter the job alone. His efforts and accomplishments in the fulfillment of his difficult job make him deserving of the school's praise.

Richard Mann was an excellent business manager. His ability to handle the Willistonian's rather complex business affairs coupled with the fact that he also served as advertising manager, made him a valuable asset to the paper's success. Under him were Joel Katz as circulation manager and Joel Schiavone as exchange manager. Both did equally fine jobs on the business side of the paper this past year, breaking last year's record to produce the greatest number of advertisements in the paper's history.

Working jointly with "Buddha" Marshall were Boynton Hussey, Jerry Rosen, Bob Merrow, Al Lazarus, and Dave Salzman. These boys served as news, feature, sports, executive, and photography editors respectively. A new office, that of Editorial Adviser, was ably filled by Tom Eaton. Marc Richman and Ray Montgomery served as co-copy editors.

Guided by Mr. C. G. Curtiss, who advised the editorial board, and Mr. Earl N. Johnston, who handled the business end of things, these seniors exhibited a superlative example of secondary school journalism.

"Y" CABINET

Williston can well be proud of its Y. M. C. A. Cabinet. One of the oldest in the country, it has stepped outside the bounds of school activities to assist many worthy causes. Following this policy in 1954, the Cabinet continued its support of two students at the American International College at Bierut, Arabia who are attending on "the Williston Scholarship." Other creditable works the organization performed included collection of magazines for the Soldiers' Home in Holyoke, clothing drives, and a collection for the United Nations Educational Service.

In order to raise funds for its philanthropic strivings the "Y" Cabinet sponsored a sweater dance this fall. Another phase of its school activities is the annual buck party. This display of talent is put on by the students and serves to help new and old boys become better acquainted.

The religious aspect of the Cabinet, for which purpose it was founded, is still carried on by its members, who often take charge of evening chapel services.

The capable guidance of Mr. Charles E. Rouse and the devoted attention of President Robert Merrow have again made the Y.M.C.A. Cabinet a leading organization.

DANCE BAND

The School Dance Band, newly formed this year, played at several dances held in the Recreation Center. Although the band was small in number, it combined together very well, producing good harmony and rhythm.

Taking the melody was Mac Ottaway, an ace trumpeter, whose improvisations and musical ability played a large part in the success of the band. The harmony section was composed of saxophones played by Sam Warner and helped out by Mark Jaros. The piano was ably played by Martin Starks and the rhythm section was under the capable hands of Bill Aydelotte. Mr. Teller supervised the general finish of the group, keeping its quality up to a high standard.

Because most members of the group are returning next year, the 1955 band is expected to be as good as, if not better than the one this year.

Athletics fill the great need for the physical side of maturity in youth. The opportunity to become part of a team shows him that life is not all one-sided and that there must be a mutual give-and-take both in working with others and in development of mind and body. A T H L E T I C S

ATHLETIC ADVISORY BOARD

ATHLETIC ADVISORY BOARD

The Athletic Advisory Board has as members one student elected from each class and the coaches of varsity sports. This organization is very active in solving athletic problems around the school. Three official meetings are scheduled, one at the end of each athletic season. The main item for each of these meetings is the deciding of letters to be awarded. However, the board also chooses the managers for the next year, and has handled in the past such matters as abandoning skiing as a varsity sport because of lack of snow, dis-

couraging the wearing of insignias of schools other than Williston, and ruling that letters are to be worn only on sweaters which the school gives (the sweater being a board idea also). The last ruling restricts the sale of Williston jackets with emblems.

The students selected to represent the school are invariably sudents who have been outstanding in athletics and understand thoroughly the athletic problems of the school. The group has handled its responsibilities flawlessly.

CHEERLEADERS

The 1953 fall sports season would indeed have been a quiet one, had it not been for the Williston Cheering Squad, composed of Heider, Brisk, and MacBrayne. Organized early in the season by disabled Joe Schiavone, the squad of volunteers, novices, finished

the year as veterans of an arduous season. The three formed a hard-working team, giving solid support to soccer and football. The spirit shown at the Deerfield game was proof of the job these boys did, and they certainly deserve much thanks for their effort.

FOOTBALL

This year's football team will long be remembered as one of the best that Williston has ever had. This year's record of five wins and one loss was the best since the undefeated season of 1947. The team's only loss was to Deerfield, which finished with its first perfect season since the school began.

The team was very well balanced. The exceptionally good line was outshone only by the excellent backfield. The powerhouse team — it scored at least two touchdowns in every game before being finally stopped by Deerfield — was blessed with not one but two excellent quarterbacks, Stu Thomson and Johnny Alexander. These two, along with halfbacks Chip Ide, one of the nation's leading ground-gainers, and Jim French and fullback Larry Kalesnik, comprised one of the finest backfields Williston has ever seen. The team scored an average of 18.2 points per game while allow-

ing their opponents only 9.4 points per game.

Undoubtedly the most thrilling moments of the whole season came in the meet with Hotchkiss School. The game was almost over, and Williston was trailing. Then, with four minutes to go, Williston scored three touchdowns to win the game handily.

The team could not have succeeded, however, without the excellent leadership of Coaches Dale Lash and Leon Waskiewicz, who trained the team to work together as a unit and pulled the best out of it through their untiring efforts.

Co-captains Joel Katz and Chip Ide, a Middler, are certainly deserving of praise for their spark, fine play, and excellent leadership.

This year's record is even more remarkable in view of the fact that, of the twenty-two lettermen, only nine attended Williston last year.

Coach Babcock was quite doubtful as to how the season would shape up prior to the first few games. However, as the season progressed, it became apparent that if the squad kept up their spirited and skilled play, the season would be highly successful. It was.

Led by two fine co-captains, Bob Carroll and Wally Burns, the 1953 Williston soccer squad profited fully from the excellent instruction given by Coaches Babcock and Laurent.

Coming up from the lower squad to help were such lettermen as Phil Wilkinson, Mike Nolen,Jimmy Parker, and Frank Britton. The new starters were, however, mostly newcomers. Jack Hathaway in the goal, Dan Doolittle at fullback, Dave Kreidler at the other fullback, Dick Levine at halfback, and Wally Willard at inside were all first-year men. Levine is

the only one with two years remaining. All the others menioned have only one year to go.

The season was opened by trouncing Monson and Suffield by identical scores of 3-1. The next two contests were won by Sammy's sons over Worcester aria the University of Masschusetts Frosh by scores of 1-0. Hathaway was spendid in both of these games. The rest of the booters' season went on in orderly fashion, with the Blue and Gold losing only to Loomis until they were edged out by a strong Deerfield team. 2-0.

Co-captains for the season of '54 are Hathaway and Doolittle. Surprisingly enough, both play beside each other, as goalie and left fullback, and both were merely students of the game as they played their first organized soccer game in a Williston uniform.

Williston Academy's 1954 basketball was coached by Leon Wsakiewicz and captained by Wally Brown, a day-boy from Southampton.

The high point of the season came on February 17, when a super-charged Williston five led a highly superior Deerfield quintet throughout three quarters of the game and up to the last seven seconds of the final period, losing by a score of 58-56.

That game best displayed the potentialities of the team that were overshadowed from the first game by lack of team play. That day, the starting five had four seniors, but surprisingly enough the star and highscorer throughout the year was next year's captainelect, Jack Hathaway, a middler.

Captain Brown was from time to time hampered by a bad knee, and he would surely have made a better

year's showing for himself had he not sustained that injury.

The team was guided from the back court by both Bobby Carroll and Mike Polczwartek. These two lads, along with Bill Keeney, made up the ball handlers and outside shooters of the team. Under the basket, playing the pivot, were Jack Hathaway (the year's highscorer) Brown,and Dick Olson, all of whom were able to grab the ball off the boards.

The outlook for next year is on the bright side. Varsity men Wally Willard, Steve Britt, Sam Warner, Johnny Alexander, and Hathaway are all returning as seniors. Also Leo Kocher and Rod Jaros, jay-vee stars, will probably be up on the varsity next winter.

Although not highly successful, the team had fun and was an excellent representative of Williston Academy.

Despite a poor pre-season rating and further setbacks because of medical reasons, this year's hockey team finished the season with an admirable record. The team started rather slowly but improved steadily into a first-class squad as the boys developed better teamwork.

The team had several outstanding players this year; and in spite of the loss of its veterans,seniors Richman, Brukl,Captain Scott, and Topor,several underclassmen promise the team good prospects for next year. Among the underclassmen are next year's captain-elect Doo-

little, defenseman Levine, Loeber, and Horton. All these boys show good promise of developing into fine players. In the goal, one of the most difficult positions, is a newcomer,Downing. Downing took over the cage for Gordon Scott when Scott was moved up into defense. This change helped the team considerably. The loss of Roger Bocky with a broken ankle and Dick Lightfoot with sickness was a major blow to the team. With the injuries, sickness, and other setbacks, the team could not have been successful without the constant effort of Coaches Buell and Cram.

MR. BABCOCK Coach

The Williston Academy Swimming team had one of its most successful seasons. Behind the fine swimming of such boys as Ide, Peters, Scheehser, Burns, and Mennen the team progressed through the season undefeated in prep-school competition. They now boast an 18-meet winning streak against secondary school opposition. The only two contests lost this year were to the Yale and Harvard Freshmen teams.

After defeating the Trinity and Amherst Freshmen, and the Westminster School, The Williston squad ran up against arch swimming rival Hotchkiss. The meet was close all the way with the all-American Paul Wachendorfer of Hotchkiss leading the way for the Lakeville team. Wins in both the diving and the 120yd. individual medley clinched the meet for the Blue and Gold.

Mount Hermon, Springfield Technical High

School, and Worcester Boys' Club were easily defeated opponents. The formidable Yale Freshmen team dived into the Williston pool on February 17th and emerged victorious. Ed Peters was the only individual winner, taking the 150-yd. individual medley relay. Childs and Long dived well, taking second and third places, respectively, over Yale's Chadwick. Erickson of Yale finished first.

A close win over the Deerfield Academy team preceded the defeat by the hands of the Harvard Freshmen team. Then the team travelled to Hartford for the Trinity Interscholastics. Williston won the Interscholastics by a small margin, defeating both Deerfield and Hotchkiss again. Much credit should be given to cocaptains Merrow and Moisan for the fine leadership shown this victorious season.

WINTER TRACK

The Winter Track Team, coached by Mr. Howell and assisted by Mr. Culver, consisted mainly of boys planning to go out for track again in the spring. For boys new to the sport, this small but well-organized group provided an excellent opportunity to become acquainted with track and to train in preparation for the varsity sport held in the spring. For those returning to the sport. the non-varsity winter team offered advanced conditioning and seasoning.

Two meets were held to give the boys a chance to show their advancements under competition. A triangular meet, held with Worcester Academy and the University of Massachusetts freshmen in the university cage at Amherst, saw Williston nudged out of second place in the last event; but the efforts of the team members were much improved as was shown in the individual times, and in this view the meet was highly successful. The second meet,held on the outdoor track at Wilbraham Academy in a drenching rain, ended with the Blue and Gold's win in the relay, effecting a deadlock. Although the team failed to gain a victory in either meet, much credit is deserved by both the boys and the coaches.

CAPTAIN RIVAL

SQUASH

Although this year's squash team did not have as successful a season as it had hoped, all the team members played enthusiastically and well throughout the year. Playing the Trinity freshmen and Deerfield Academy teams twice and the Amherst freshmen once each, the team through its effort still left an honorable reputation for Williston among its opponents.

With many underclassmen out for the sport, Coach Edward M. Lawton and co-captain Bob Zarchen can look forward to a more successful season next year. Only two of this year's first team, Daryoush Hakim and Poodchong Wanglee, are not returning. Zarchen, Bob Graham, Don Kingman, and Jim Wright all have one or more years left at the academy. The large number of second- and third-year men on the team promises much for the 1954-1955 season.

SKI TEAM

In recent years the elements of nature have been definitely set against the success of the ski team, and this year was no exception. In spite of warning, a stalwart group of skiers remained true to their sport. The beginning of the season was highlighted by a deep snowfall that gave the group good skiing for two weeks. Potentials for a good team were found in the efforts of John Greenwood,Charlie Schlesinger, Douglas Wylde, and John Ezequelle. Slalom, downhill, and jumping were practiced in preparation for a meet. The rains came,and all chance for victory was washed away as the slopes once again became green. Action did not completely cease, however, for Schlesinger and Ezequelle entered the Berkshire County Jr. slalom championships at Otis Ridge. Schlesinger placed in the top half of the entrants of the race keeping the Williston skiers in the ranking of prep-school meets.

VARSITY

Because of a strong battery, this year's baseball team looks considerably stronger than last year's. With Johnny Alexander, one of western Massachusetts' most capable pitchers, and Mickey Reingold, a promising Middler,on the pitching staff, the prospects look good. Captain Mike Polczwartek, the versatile first-baseman, can also pitch if needed. Dick Levine and Larry Kalesnik, both new comers, are two excellent catchers. Several good players are on the Reserve team. Since most of them can play a number of positions well, they should be able to give fine support in any position. Four returning lettermen, Captain Polzwartek, John Bowles, Mickey Reingold, and Skip Ber-

lin, will furnish a strong seasoned backbone for the team.

Of course, there is a lot more in a winning team than good players. The tiring, sometimes too-muchunder-rated, job of coaching is the big factor in a team's success. Coaches Lash and P. Stevens had to take a group of boys, very few of whom had played on the same team before, develop them as individual players, and shape them into a co-ordinated team all in a month's time. Coaches Lash and Stevens, having done a tremendous job in this department, virtually assure the team of a good season.

In spite of the loss of the majority of last year's lettermen, the Williston track team can look forward to what should be a fine season. The few remaining lettermen, supplemented by boys who were on the team last year but did not receive letters, give the team strength in every event. Boys new to the team this year should also provide strength and depth.

and his assistants, the team faces a schedule of five meets, including the inter-scholastic meet at Amherst. Wilbraham, Vermont, Mt.
