With deep admiration for his brilliance in clarifying the subtleties of literature and developing in his students a firm foundation and interest in the English language; for his kindly understanding of the problems of the Williston boy; and for his devotion to the furthering of the present school library, which he initiated and singlehandedly expanded to its present total of over eight thousand volumes within four years, we of the class of 1955 dedicate this yearbook to a greatly appreciated friend, Horace Edward Thorner.
The success of any institution must be attributed to the loyal and spirited support of its members. Williston is no exception. Only through the devoted industry of faculty and student body has the Academy attained its present position of high regard.
Symbolic of these strivings is the Williston wildcat. He stands for every aspect of Williston life—our faithful academic endeavors guided by an inspiring faculty, our enthusiastic participation in sports and extra-curricular activities, and our enjoyment of the gayer features of dorm life.
The theme of this book, therefore, is a portrayal of the wildcat, an expression of the innumerable offerings and experiences shared by a class that will long remember its profitable years at Williston Academy.

One of the hardest workers in the senior class, Jon attained high scholastic honors during his two-year sojourn at Williston, being, in addition, one of the ablest members of the editorial staff of the Willistonian. A political analyst of great discernment, he set forth his well-studied views in numerous debates for AdelphiGamma Sigma and in editorials for the paper.

Bill has been active in extra-curricular activities during his stay at Williston. His industry was shown in his role of captain-elect of the tennis team; his talent as a social mixer was evident in the rows of pictures in his room. His love of Dixieland jazz, his immense cigarette-butt barrel, his crew-cut, and his ability to imitate certain teachers will always be remembered by Ford Hall bull-session advocates.

George has been a serious and hard-working student in his one year at Williston. He participated in all his activities with equal spirit and intensity. Although he was habitually reticent, George's friendly grin was a familiar sight in Ford Hall. He was always courteous and polite, being as popular with his teachers as with his classmates. George's quiet industry will mark him for success wherever he goes.
53 Wat Rachativas Road,Bangkok,Thailand
Entered Williston: 1954 Science Club 4.
Coming all the way from Thailand, Subin found that his greatest problem was to overcome the language. However, with his deetermination to work and his cheerful, outgoing personality, he was able to achieve success in that difficult task. A most diligent student, he certainly made the most out of his stay at Williston. His record—he was on honors after one month in the United States —speaks for itself. Nevertheless, he did not let himself get completely absorbed in his books, for he always seemed to have a happy smile and a cheerful word on hand to greet a friend. Sul?in is a boy whose determination and ability unquestionably earn him a place among the more exceptional graduates of 1955.

Although only a one-year student at Williston,Sloane's friendly attitude and congenial personality made him well-liked by all. His unassuming quietness, in addition to his athletic prowess and subtle humor, earned him great respect among his classmates. The stories he told of his experiences in high school will always bring a reminiscent chuckle to his classmates. With a personality like his, Sloane should become one of the most popular boys in college as quickly as he did at Williston.

Warren, with his sparkling personality and ready smile, was one of the best-liked boys in school. His funny jokes and witty remarks were two more reasons why his room was the scene of many Ford Hall bull sessions. His room contained a popular record player from which came the pleasing music of Glenn Miller's orchestra and sometimes the seven hit songs. Warren's generosity, especially in donating cigarettes to those in need during the smoking season, will also be remembered by his debtors, who represented half the boys on the second floor of Ford.

George, who has been at Williston for only two years, has made many lasting friendships. He will always be remembered for his willingness to try anything that would be of some help to the school. He made the starting line-up in football with practically no previous experience. His pride in Detroit and the Mid-West in general helped to establish his name at Williston. We are sure that this type of personality and diligence in whatever George attempts to do will carry him to success in life.

The handsome M.C. of the 1954 Buck Party was Steve Britt. Steve has been at Williston for two years, and in that time, he has made a name for himself on the athletic field, playing both football and basketball and taking an active part in extra-curricular activities. Steve was the senior class's "action man." When something had to be done well, it was usually Steve who had the ability to do it well— quietly, without fanfare, but well.
RAYMOND LOOMIS BROWN "BROWNIE"
94 Middle Street, Hadley, Mass.
College Choice: Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Entered Williston: 1954
Soccer 4(W); Basketball 4(W); Baseball 4; Band 4.
As a one-year man, Brownie made a name for himself on the athletic field as an outstanding soccer, basketball and baseball player, and on the first floor of Ford as a skilled trumpet player. Many seniors doubtless owe the avoidance of breakfast absences to Brownie's hot trumpet. But Brownie's prowess was evident in the scholastic field as well; his ever-pounding typewriter was a not-too-silent tribute to this fact. With the combination of his varied abilities Brownie has the pick of the field, and there will never be a dull moment in his future.

An avid card player, Dick got out a deck whenever he had a chance; and his room, with its blue haze of cigarette smoke,often took on the appearance of a gambling den. Quiet and steady, he has compiled a fine record in both school and dorm.He should be an able representative of Williston in college.

"Banana Boats," as we all affectionately call him, was one of the feared headwaiters who ruled the dining room with an iron hand. Although he was conscientious in regard to his job, he did not try to dominate the boys under him. He tried to make their jobs as easy for them as was possible. He has made many friends while here at Williston because of his personality and friendliness. Because of all his good qualities, we are sure that "Banana Boats" will succeed.

Cecil, whether working on chemistry or getting back a good geometry test, was always good for a joke. His even disposition and ready laugh gained him many friends in his four-year stay at Williston. As assistant manager of the varsity football and swimming teams, he was the strongest, if not the loudest, Williston booster. Cecil was an enthusiastic member of the track team. His ready responses to occasional good-natured kidding made him all the more popular.

Del's list of activities covered a wide scope, including his exceptional singing for the glee club and his very capable management of the Willistonian's feature page. Del was a quiet boy, but what he said was generally well worth listening to. Although an honors student, he was very modest. Del's quiet enthusiasm and spirit of cooperation have greatly aided his achievements at Williston, and they mark him for future success in college.

Whenever one dropped in on a Ford Hall bull session, he was sure to find Jim there. No matter what the subject of conversation was, Jim always added some lively comments; and if the subject was automobiles, Jim could quickly give any fact or figure that anyone wanted to know about a car. His tales of Ohio,the Cleveland Indians, and deer on the Williston campus delighted his classmates. If his many friends at Williston are any yardstick, Jim should be a big success both at college and in business.

Carl, known to some as Beethoven, has supported the musical side of the school's activities for four years. Carl's room had a cheerful and decidedly musical atmosphere, being a haven for fellow "longhairs." Not confining himself to a single aspect of the school's activities, Carl lent his talents to many organizations. Carl's friendly smile and hearty "Hi," his solid respectability, and his persistent industry will unquestionably make him a success in college and later life.

Brad, in his two years at Williston, has earned his classmates' respect and has proved himself one of the most popular members of the senior class. Brad was on the Honor Committee and was a conscientious member of both the football and track teams. The first floor of Ford will long remember the big hands of hearts and the bull sessions in Room 14. His standing in the upper part of his class and the rest of his fine record will insure his success in the future. Watertown can well be proud of its native son.

Jim,although a member of the day-boy contingent,and a rather softspoken, unobtrusive individual, has had his influence felt throughout the school. In his four years at Williston, he was always known as a friend to everyone and was never heard saying a bad word about anybody. His ambition and thirst for knowledge were shown by his amassing five extra graduation credits at school. In his position as a work squad inspector, he displayed a quality of being able to hold authority and at the same time maintain a bond of friendly understanding with his workers—a trait which should distinguish and aid him throughout his life.

However, when the honors list was read in assembly and the name of Robert Fassnacht was pronounced in loud and clear tones, it became apparent to all that behind the happy-go-lucky mask was a truly serious scholar. When he wasn't studying, "Fazzy" could always be found listening to his beloved "Be-Bop" music.

Phineas, Amhert's contribution to the senior class, was one of Williston's commuters; for he drove the fifteen miles between Amherst and Easthampton each day. It will be hard to forget the many tales concerning his famous 1939 Oldsmobile. In the time of his two years at Williston, when he was not in transit, he proved himself an eager participant in various phases of school life. Most of what went on at Williston,for instance, was seen by Brian through the range finder of his trusty camera. The attributes of character which he has shown at Williston will undoubtedly carry him far in whatever direction he may choose.

Whether carrying out his duties for the Student Council or the football team, Wes always had the seriousness of purpose which gets things done and the touch of playfulness which made him such an enjoyable person.

Possessing an exceptional mind, John was often the recipient of a one hundred on an advanced math or chemistry test. After supper he could usually be found experimenting in the chemistry lab. But whenever book reports or compositions were due, John was often found starting at the last possible minute. By some minor miracle he always seemed to finish them. However, John did not confine his talents to school work; for he was an end on the football team, a star pole-vaulter, and an avid skiing fan. Success and John cannot help meeting.

Harb,one of the class's three-year men, has, in that time,shown great versatility. Equally at home on the stage or the gridiron, he has on one hand proved that big surprises come in little packages by being a small but successful man on the football team, and, on the other hand,been foremost amongst Williston's crop of budding John Barrymores. However, the characteristic which will be remembered longest by his classmates is his ability to make two grins grow where there was only a grouch before. His impromptu comments, which livened up many an otherwise routine class or assembly, made him an irreplaceable figure in Williston's ranks.

"Hodge," one of the hardy, stalwart individuals who survived four years at Williston, has in this time compiled a very commendable record. In addition to his being hard-working and conscientious in his studies, he found time to participate in many extra-curricular activities. Sunday afternoons in 'Hamp would have been incomplete without Tom and his roommate. His ability in sailing showed itself in his hard work and exceptional achievements in the Sailing Club. Ever cheerful, he had a ready smile for all; it is with pleasant remembrances that Williston hands Tom over to the world.

Everyone at Williston knew Chip, whether as a high-ranking student, a leader in his class, a student-in-charge of library study, or a top-flight athlete.

One of the most individualistic students at Williston,"Fitzmo" showed in his stay at school as fine qualities of an actor as of a writer. His articles for the Willistonian and his portrayal of Hortensio in "The Taming of the Shrew" showed abilities that he never mentioned. His Bohemian attitude and his well-developed background in the fine arts established him as one of the most intellectual students in his class. Williston boys will not very easily forget him.

Kemp, the Midwest's gift to Williston, has carved himself a lasting niche in the school's annals. As a conscientious headwaiter and hard-working swimming manager, he repeatedly proved his ability to do a job well. His quiet temperament and good nature left him open to a lot of kidding, but he always took it with a joking spirit and developed effective repartee. The cheerfulness which emanated from Room 7 and the unforgettable "Kempograms" will make Kemp one of the most missed members of the senior class.

In his quiet and unobtrusive way, Don has made an indelible impression on his classmates and the faculty alike. A familiar figure in Ford Hall bull-sessions, he is conspicuous for his reticence and the smoke curling lazily about his head from his ever-present cigarette. He has been a friend to all, and his stoical outlook on life has been a comfort to many a dejected or disillusioned senior. Don has a solid record of achievement behind him and the promise of even greater accomplishments in the future.

A very serious and religious boy, Andy had that indispensable trait of being dependable. When someone was needed to serve the punch at the dances or to give a helping hand in any task, Andy would volunteer every time. In the dining room, Mrs. Clare would have been lost without his assistance. Walking into his room, one would easily recognize whose it was by the well-defined Victorian atmosphere. Andy's usefulness will be greatly missed next year.

In his two years at Williston, Dave made his good-natured, cynical laugh his trademark. His grunts of dismay and disbelief at a rare unsatisfactory test grade were a joy to his classmates.

Chuck, with his boisterous laugh and unexpected comments, was a well-known figure on the campus. Thanks to him, no one will leave school this year without knowing something of Saginaw, Mich. But behind the boisterousness existed an altogether different Chuck. He was one of the few who had an instinctive ability to distinguish between the humorous and the improper or sacrilegious comment. In addition to this quality, Chuck's philosophical comments; his appreciation of classical music, well-known because of daily "hi-fl" programs; and his genuine modesty mark him as truly one of the finest of Williston's students.

Almost immediately after Pete arrived at school, he became known as an exceptional student, and he has been adding to that renown ever since. But Pete was more than just a good student. Easily overcoming language and international differences, Pete became one of the best-liked and most remarkable boys of the senior class. His ever-present smile, his unusual laugh, his good word for everybody, his hard work, and his innate ability to distinguish between a humorous joke and a comment in bad taste established him as a most outstanding personality.

Five times out of ten, the red jeep speeding to the schoolhouse one minute before classes would be driven by Heckle. Then he started a busy day getting speakers for the Science Club, of which he was president, or writing out speeches on the backs of envelopes for the Adelphi Debating Team. The constant source of perplexity among the great majority of students who could never learn to tell him from his brother, Mike was bothered endlessly by inquiries as to his actual identity.

Jeckle,the other half of that famous pair, was often seen around the campus attempting to talk to one of the Siamese boys. After three years of near-futile attempts, Rick has become quite versed in the language of Thailand—especially since he and his brother were among the few Americans on the Senior Soccer Team, the Siamese embassy being well represented.

Bob, the Pawtucket blond with the raccoon coat, was very well known during his two years at Williston. The Loeb's trademarks— his crew cut, his sharp, satirical wit, and his "The Loeb comes through again, folks!"—made him stand out among his classmates. Since he was a very good hockey player and a member of Ford Hall's boisterous third floor, one could not help noticing him. In addition, his skill in doing the Lindy insured his popularity with the girls at dances. As a college man, Bob should distinguish himself quickly and maintain his popularity with ease.

This year our exchange student from England was none other than Colin. A firmly convinced patriot of his own country, he brought to Williston a new interest in England—an interest which served to broaden our viewpoints of foreign affairs. His good humored joshing of American manners and habits and his feigned lack of comprehension of our slang really added to the charm and wit which won him many friends—especially at Northampton School for Girls. When he returns to London, he will leave us with an indispensable addition to our education,an insight into English culture.

However, he soon found success, making the honor roll consistently during both his years at Williston. Marty also had great athletic ability, being a varsity soccer and baseball player as well as an All-American swimmer.

Next to being the school's scholar on that subject, Jess was known for his prowess on the soccer field; his swift and accurate foot accounted for a high percentage of the team's goals. His often-heard and well-appreciated ironical comments and his crew-cut added individualistic traits that made the popular Jess unforgettable at Williston.

One of the most brilliant students in the class, Freddy used his exceptional abilities as the competent editor of the Willistonian. His academic, athletic, and extra-curricular record speaks for itself, but above and beyond these qualities we shall long remember one other trait: he was always late. Whether to classes, athletics,or meals, Freddy was very apt to be the last one there. Whether the cause was the press of affairs or his romantic interest, one cannot say. With all his abilities and his easygoing, friendly manner, Fred is surely destined for a successful future.

Who can ever forget the larger and more unctuous part of that smooth duo of continental Romeos from the third floor? Bob Zarchen was the quintessence of what every prep school needs, a fine blend of brains, bearing, and fortitude, who furthered every phase of school activity with his presence. Bob was Mr. Lawton's pride and joy in both squash and debating, where his leadership in both endeavors guided the less experienced. Bob was an enhancing West Hartford addition to the Graham gatherings in Northampton and vicinity. His ability to obtain Willistonites dates at any time and from all parts of the world has immortalized his stay at Easthampton.

Chan, that muscular son of Illinois who was always present at the second floor's sessions of loquacity,spent two years at Williston. He was an industrious worker both scholastically and athletically, gaining special prominence in field events. When in a jovial mood, his uproarious laughter presented quite a contrast to his usual quiet attitude. Likable Chan's broad smile and easy-going personality will undoubtedly carry him high in Chicago's big-business world.

Outwardly quiet and unassuming, Dad was a fine person when one got to know him. One of his more striking attributes was the diligence with which he attacked a difficult task. Hard work hidden in modesty characterized him even on the football field, where he was an accomplished, though unobtrusive, player. However, all was not seriousness with Pat, for he would arrange a gay time when the moment presented itself. His attractive weekend visitor will always keep memories of Pat alive. Pat's personality will make him a success wherever he goes.

In his two years at Williston, Larry became well known among his classmates. His Sunday morning paper deliveries made him greatly appreciated by the late-sleeping set. Always to be found in Mr. Lauman's apartment, he always had a contribution to make in the sessions which were so often carried on there. Larry's varied abilities should enable him to do well in whatever he undertakes. Good luck to a good athlete and a great all-round boy.

His outspoken theories in chemistry class were a great source of amusement to his classmates. With his high-pitched laugh and ready smile, Pete was one of the senior class's most colorful personalities.

Mr. Lawton
Mr. Thomas
This year saw an increase in interest over the past several years in the Adelphi-Gamma Sigma debating society. Early in the fall a series of intramural debates and round table discussions was held to prepare for the outside debates. The first of these outside encounters was against Northampton School on the question of voting rights for eighteenyear-olds. Both our negative team, Robert Zarchen and Richard Lockshin, and our affirmative team, Peter Van Dine and John Spencer, came through with wins. Debates with Mount Hermon and Cushing were held on the question of free trade, and the year's highlight—the second annual Williston-Mt. Hermon-Deerfield debate, with the silver cup at stake—was held on the question of allowing Communist China into the United Nations.
To keep pace with the expanded interest in the club, the constitution was brought out, checked for flaws, and amended to bring the club to a firmer organizational basis. President Zarchen set the example for the society with his vigor and enthusiasm for the hard work of debating. The other officers for the first half year were Arthur Norris, vice-president, and Herbert Varnum, secretary-treasurer. Officers for the second half were the following: president, Michael Lockshin; vice-president, John Spencer; and secretary, Richard Lockshin.
This year, as in past years, a number of Willistonians were accustomed to spend their Thursday evenings in the Plimpton Library matching their wits at the game of chess. Although the fact that various other groups met on Thursday caused the Chess Club membership to be somewhat smaller than usual, the group enjoyed a very successful season.
Kent Vandewater, the president, and Robert Secundy, vice-president, proved to be the strongest players, but there was a constant improvement among the younger players. The fall term was spent in individual matches; during the winter, a tournament, providing club-wide competition, was organized. The group is supervised by Mr. Thorner, an excellent chess player in his own right and a collector of unusual chess sets. Several of the meetings were highlighted by displays of his sets and talks on the history of the game. A small nucleus of old members, augmented by a fine group of new boys, formed one of the most enjoyable of the school's many clubs.

In keeping with last year's production of The Taming of the Shrew, the Dramatic Club offered as its major production this year another comedy dealing with the trying complexities preceding a marriage. Father of the Bride, with president Joe Harbison again playing a bewildered and harassed father, offered timely comic relief during the fall term.
Miss Wendy Stone of the Northampton School, who has appeared in so many Williston productions, easily achieved her greatest success in the role of a beautiful and bewildered bride, while a new triumph was made by Bob Graham's portrayal of her football-player husband. Steve Oberbeck and Amos Hobby were right in character as the casual teenager and his troublesome younger brother. Some superlative and unique acting was done by veteran Milo Perichitch as the suave European caterer.
A capacity audience's reception paid much-deserved tribute to the untiring efforts of directors Boardman and Buell and their unheralded stage hands.
Assuming a more serious vein at the end of the winter term,a small group of Thespians under Mr. Boardman offered Eugene O'Neill's one-act sea drama In the Zone.
The year 1955 was a year of achievement for the Sailing Club. Although there were no sailing trips in the fall, numerous meets were planned by the club adviser, Mr.David Stevens,for the spring. Early in the spring there were the Lenox team races, and plans were being made for the Brown Regatta at the time of writing. The climax of the sailing season again was the Interscholastic Yacht Racing Association Regatta at the Coast Guard Academy in New London.
One of the reasons for the success of the Sailing Club this year was the arrival of many new members who became deeply interested in sailing. This year a new step was taken with the foundation of the Elementary Piloting Class, which was held under the auspices of the Springfield Power Squadron and the Sailing Club. With Mr. Stevens working out the details, a program was designed whereby, at the successful completion of the course, a piloting certificate would be awarded. During the parts of the year when there were no meets scheduled, films were shown to acquaint the boys with the rules of racing, safety afloat, seamanship, etc. The planning of such events was attended to by the Program Committee, which consisted of Thomas Sullivan and Peter Hewes. Officers elected for this year were Andrew Sullivan, president; Maurice Kelley, vice-president; and Carl Ericson, secretarytreasurer.
The Williston "Y" Cabinet, one of the oldest in the country, was originally founded as a religious organization, but it has gradually changed its main purpose to one of helping charitable organizations. The religious aspect, however, is still carried on by the members speaking in Chapel every Thursday evening and by the organization's sponsoring an annual delegation to the religious conference held at Northfield, Massachusetts every fall.
The"Y"Cabinet has given support to several worthy causes this year. A clothing drive was held for the benefit of needy families in both South Korea and West Germany,and a magazine collection for the Soldiers' Home in Holyoke. A large donation was made for the World University Service for its work in education in for-
eign lands. The yearly maintenance of "The Williston Scholarship", which pays full tuition for a student at the American International College at Beirut, Lebanon, was another important function of the Cabinet this year.
The annual "Y" reception and the Buck Party given early this fall were "Y" Cabinet-sponsored affairs designed to help the new boys become acquainted with Williston. Another activity presented this fall was a sweater dance, by which funds were raised for the year's activities.
A great amount of credit is deserved by the adviser, Mr. Charles E.Rouse,president Harlow Ide, and all the members for their quiet but efficient service to the Y.M.C.A. Cabinet.
The Student Council is the most important student organization in the school. Members of each class elect members on the basis of their qualities of leadership, integrity, and honest desirevto improve the conditions of the school for both the students and the teachers.
The most important function of the council is its duty to promote a closer feeling of harmony between the students and the faculty, for it is very important for the whole school to work together to complete a successful year. The council has been very successful this year in helping to maintain a very optimistic attitude within the entire school.
Not only does the Student Council help to promote better relations, but it also has many specific duties on the campus, in the classroom and in the dormitories. Whenever necessary, a member of the Council must take disciplinary measures in order to dis-
courage any infraction of school regulations. The power of each of these boys, although slightly regulated by seniority in voting privileges, is adequate to command respect of the students. The Student Council is also very active in leading the religious services in the school chapel on weekday nights. In the dormitories each member works with a certain section of boys, and his job is to aid each student in a personal and friendly manner. The council also supplements the student's social program by sponsoring dances at various times throughout the course of the year.
This year the council was led by Herbert Varnum, president; Michael Nolen, vice-president; and Marty Mennen, secretary; all of whom did an excellent job. The Council is an independent group that holds its own meetings which are presided over by the president; however, the Council often turned to Headmaster Phillips Stevens for advice during the course of the year.
One of the most coveted offices Williston has to offer to the students is that of membership on the Honor Committee. This group of hand-picked boys is important in the life of every member of the school society, whether the students recognize it or not. The Committee, under the capable and understanding guidance of Mr. Phillips Stevens, is designed to cope with the serious problems of any community—occasional dishonesty and cheating. If a boy is suspected of being guilty of either, he is secretly—usually not even the faculty is notified—requested to meet with the Committee and discuss his problems. The first offender is always put into their hands, and they determine his guilt or innocence but, regardless of the decision, no serious action is taken because of the belief that a boy will respect a warning and will not make the sathe mistake twice. The Committee attempts to delve into the background of the boy's mistake and help him to get back on the right path. Much credit should be given this organiaztion for its conscientious, careful work this year.
The Outing Club,under the guidance of Mr. Lauman,is the ideal group for the more rugged individuals who desire a change from the routine life of the dorms. The club is especially designed to take advantage of the opportunities for outdoor life offered by the countryside around Easthampton. The Williston cabin, located in Southampton only a few miles from the school, provides the perfect spot for an overnight camping ground. The club serves a dual purpose—supplying trips which enable members to enjoy the out-of-doors and teaching safer techniques for such enjoyment in a number of more specialized ways.
This year's club, led by president Wally Burns, got off to a somewhat slow start, but before the year ended its activities were in full swing. No outings were conducted during the first two terms, but the time was spent in informative indoor meetings. When Spring came, however, the boys quickly made up for lost time with a number of very enjoyable expeditions.

The Williston Academy Glee Club, under the able direction of Mr.Teller and Mr.Curtiss, won a great deal of credit for the school this year. As a result of long, hard rehearsals, during which the boys showed an outstanding amount of cooperation, the group sang well at all its performances.
The club began its crammed schedule with the seventh annual Christmas Concert sung jointly with the choral group from the Northampton School for Girls. Next, on February 10, a small group appeared on television in nearby Springfield. Then followed the concert at the Southampton Congregational Church on February 18. On the 26th of that month, Williston renewed its musical relations with the MacDuffle School for Girls with an extremely succesful performance. The next day the group joined the Smith College Freshman Choir in a Vesper service at John M. Greene Hall in Northampton. Then came the fourth annual Preparatory Schools Glee Club Festival at Northfield on the 5th of March. Williston, along with Deerfield, Mount Hermon, Kimball Union, Vermont Academy, and the Lenox School, was outstanding. On April 24 a select group sang at the Spring Concert of Secondary Schools in Hartford.
One of the highlights of the school year was the Glee Club presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pirates of Penzance," sung in connection with the Northampton School for Girls Glee Club.
Outstanding leadership by president Chip Ide, along with vicepresident Carl Ericson and managers Jim Parker and Fred Wood, played a large part in the ultimate success of this year's Glee Club.
The Williston Double Quartet has been acclaimed year after year one of the most popular organizations at the Academy. This year the group has been made up of the following: Alfred Gengras and Charles Pengelly, first tenors; Harlow Ide and Peter Clapp, second tenors; Malcolm Ottaway and Foster de Jesus, first basses; and Walter Burns and Albert F. Wood, second basses. Of course very high praise is due Director Henry Teller, who is responsible for the club's success, and to Carl Ericson, the able accompanist. The Double Quartet made their debut December 11, 1954, at Williston in a joint concert with the Northampton School for Girls; on this occasion they rendered, together with the Williston Glee Club,"Glory to That New-Born King." Later in the evening they sang several numbers with the double sextet of the Northampton School for Girls, finishing with the ever-popular "Twelve Days of Christmas."
The Double Quartet sang again at the Southampton concert featuring the Williston Glee Club, and again at a joint concert at Williston with the MacDuffle School for Girls of Springfield, singing a selection of well-received numbers including "Kentucky Babe" and "Tea for Two." Throughout the year they performed repeatedly, each time attesting their happy concord and their expert co-ordination as an efficient and inspired group of singers.
The Photography Club, under the careful guidance of Mr. Maxwell, has made much progress this year. The overall purpose of the organization is to improve its members knowledge of taking and processing films of all types. The club is a member of the Photographic Society of America, as of this year. Besides developing club films and supervising in the school darkroom when other boys wish to develop films, the boys do most of the photography work of the Willistonian and Log. The executive board, composed of Wilkinson, Waddell, and Burns, has done an excellent job in handling club affairs. A few of the accomplishments of the organization have been the reconstruction of the school darkroom and the adoption of a new constitution. This spring the group took several field trips in order to help the boys get more experience in the art of good picture taking. Color slides were also shown from time to time for this purpose. The Log extends its congratulations to the Photography Club for its progress and for its excellent service to Williston.
The Radio Club, under the able direction of Dr. Phillips, has made much progress during the 1954-55 season. The club's main educational project was the purchase and use of an army surplus code practice set. With this rig, new club members can learn to send code at the rate of at least five words per minute, the requirement for a novice license. At the beginning of the season, only two boys had general licenses: Peter Shaw and John Simpson, both middlers. They had available for their use the school's thousanddollar equipment, including a 750-watt transmitter, which, being more powerful than those of many commercial stations, is capable of transmitting around the world. The station is planning to get a permanent FCC call letter soon. During Hurricane "Hazel", John Simpson stayed by the school station to do emergency work. The year's main mechanical project was to reduce radio interference on local television sets for the convenience of local residents.
The Executive Board of the Log feels that it can rightly be proud of its accomplishments this year. From the first meeting in the fall, the prospects looked favorable. Work started well as Business Manager Norris McKee and his associates Frederick Thorne and David Kreidler led the staff to a new record in selling Log calendars. McKee, the Editor-inChief's right hand man, deserves special credit for his outstanding business accomplishments. William Ingram and Rodney Farnham were also of great assistance to McKee. The Literary Editors, Michael Lockshin and Richard Lockshin, and their associate Maurice Kelley, brought several new ideas to the yearbook. They received excellent co-operation from the typists—Wayne Jostrand, Peter Jannke, and Paul Prince handling most of the work—and from the literary staff, especially Fred Wood.Otherwise the staff, built around a strong core of seniors and bolstered by a very promising middler crew, divided the work fairly evenly.
The Art Department, managed by Robert Fassnacht and Laurence Scheehser and aided greatly by Roger Wood,a junior with considerable art talent, brought back cartoons —an innovation which was heartily approved by the Log staff.
Philip Wilkinson's Photography Staff, bolstered by the founding of a Photography Club this year, turned out a calendar more lively-looking than in previous years, and collected a wider-scoped, more interesting number of candid shots, thus improving greatly the candid section in the book.
Andrew Sullivan, assisted by middler Jonathan Ezequelle and junior Douglas Collins, managed the Log's progress excellently. He and his assistants, working with all departments, co-ordinated events and arranged picture schedules so that there never was a serious or unpredicted delay throughout the year.
Most important of all, however, was the work of Editor-in-Chief John Waddell. John was everywhere all the time: collecting typed articles, proofreading, planning picture schedules,checking accounts, and taking photographs. John did a tremendous job this year. Finally the whole staff wishes to thank Adviser David Stevens, who, in his first year as sole faculty adviser, was always around to offer a helpful suggestion or help a perplexed editor or writer with his problem.
In the year 1955 the Willistonian met with its perennial success. With many new ideas and an excellent staff of writers, each edition of the Willistonian was eagerly awaited by the student body. Adding many new features, the paper became more and more interesting with each issue and, as the year progressed, the Willistonian became one of the outstanding papers in secondary schools. The Editorial Board and Mr. C. G. Curtiss, working closely with the staff of writers, combined to produce one of the best newspapers in the history of Williston. It was such excellent cooperation that made the paper as good as it was.
In the short time that Mr. Curtiss has been adviser to the Willistonian, there have never been editors with such reliability, enthusiasm, and ability to write as those on this year's paper. Editor-in-Chief Albert F. Wood took complete responsibility in planning each issue. It was his tireless efforts that furthered the success of the newspaper. John Waddell always met deadlines and was very concerned about the paper, and, in addition, he used his photographic genius to present some interesting views of Williston life. Jon Adams wrote thoughtful, timely editorials, all far better than one expects in a school newspaper. Kent Vandewater took all assignments skillfully and tirelessly.
Probably the most valuable innovation this year was a conference period each Wednesday for the editors and Mr. Curtiss to discuss ideas, plans, or any situations that arose throughout the year. This exchange of ideas during the conference period created the right kind of interest in the newspaper. To produce a good issue, this interest is needed, and it is one of the reasons the Willistonian enjoyed so much success.
This year the dance band began its program most successfully. The student body was very enthusiastic about the band, as were the members themselves. Mr. Teller organized the group early in the year and gave much of his time to keep everything running smoothly. The organization was composed of eight boys with Malcolrri Ottaway, the leader, at the trumpet; Pengelly, Jaros, and Warner playing the sax; Clapp playing the trombone; Blumenthal at the clarinet; Mutter at the drums; and Schneider adding to the rhythm with the piano. The group played at many of the school's social functions, and the response from the entire school was a most praiseworthy one. "Swing and Sway with Ottaway," the band's slogan, became quite well-known throughout the campus. The Log congratulates the band for its excellent work.
As in past years the Science Club, under the able direction of Mr. Howell, once again proved to be one of the most popular organizations in school. The purpose of this club is to provide every boy in school, whether or not he takes a science course, with a regular program of interesting speakers and educational movies. The topics of the speakers and movies vary to make available different phases of science during the school year.
Among the leading men in this area who addressed the club this year were Sergeant Sivak of the Massachusetts State Police, who spoke on scientific crime detection; Albert E. Wood, professor of biology at Amherst College, who talked on paleontology;
Samuel D. Lockshin, an Industrial Engineer; Professor Irving Kofsky, a nuclear physicist from Smith College; Dr. John Gilbert, a local pathologist; and Mr. John Rawlings of Kollmorgen Optical Co. At other meetings during the year movies were shown, one of the most interesting of which was a picture on the explosion of the hydrogen bomb. The club was also addressed by Mr. Howell, the adviser.
At a late fall meeting Daniel Darrow was elected president and Wayne Jostrand secretary-treasurer. The outgoing officers were Michael Lockshin, president, and Charles Schlesinger, secretarytreasurer.
The 1955 Senior Class Committees performed their respective duties very well. Busiest of the groups was the Prom Committee,of which Hathaway and Ide were co-chairmen. Others who planned the Prom were: Burns, flowers; Korts, refreshments; Schlesinger and Wilkinson, lighting; and Deliso, Doolittle, Greenwood, Harbison, Mennen, and Spencer, decorations, invitations, music, and other details.
The Graduation Committee, with members Varnum, Ericson, Reingold, and Tuggle, was concerned mainly with determining the class gift, a contribution to the Leonard Dineen Fund, after conducting a poll to de-
termine popular opinion of the senior class. Chairman Varnum presented the gift at the graduation ceremony.
The Flag Committee was composed of Chairman Evans, Kingman, and S. Warner. This group arranged for revised lettering on the large senior class banner which formed the backdrop at graduation.
Chairman Zarchen was assisted by Britt and R. Lockshin on the Ring Committee, which handled orders for the Williston ring.
All members are to be complimented for their productive efforts.
The Williston Athletic Advisory Board is composed of both members of the student body and the head coaches of varsity sports. The main duty of this organization is the deciding of letters to be awarded. Each year one student from each class is chosen to represent that particular group. This year's members are Formeister of the Senior class, Jackson representing the Middlers, Kocher representing the Junior Middler class, and Lash from the Junior class. One job of these boys and the coaches is to handle the athletic policy of the school. The policy includes such matters as deciding what teams are considered to be varsity sports and the rulings on wearing varsity letter insignia. The letter sweater, which the school offers to all boys who have earned a letter competing in a varsity sport, was a board idea,as was the ruling that letters are to be prohibited on anything but these sweaters. The group has handled its work excellently in the past and has carried out a most successful and appreciated program this year.
This fall's football cheering sections would surely have been much quieter and less enthusiastic had it not been for the spirit showed by the cheerleaders—Blumenthal, Irvine, Aydelotte,and Kopelman. The group was formed by Mr. Henry Teller, who, by his tireless effort, did much to help the group finish the season most successfully. From the Vermont game to Deerfield, the cheerleaders fought untiringly to give solid support to the soccer and football teams, and to bring up the players' morale. These boys certainly deserve much credit and thanks for a job well done, and they can look back with much pride at their efforts for organized school spirit.

Waskiewicz, Kaczynski, and Buell.
This year's football team will be remembered for its excellent backfield and hard-hitting line. Because of these two factors, the squad finished the season with four wins and two losses. The team's success was also due to the fine and untiring coaching staff of Mr. Lash, Mr. Waskiewicz, Mr. Buell, and Mr. P. Stevens. In addition to these very capable men,the team was blessed with the excellent line work of the new coach, Mt. Fred Kaczynski.
The team lost its first game to Vermont Academy 20-13, although Chip Ide scored on the first play from scrimmage. Williston led at the half, but the Vermonters edged through by capitalizing on two breaks.
In the second game, Williston had to come from behind to defeat a fairly strong Hotchkiss eleven, 20-7. The deficit was made up by the strong running of Chip Ide and Bubba Hayes, the Wildcats' one-two punch.
In the third contest, the team defeated Loomis, 19-0, after a scoreless first half. Ide scored two touchdowns and Hayes one in this very well-played game.
Kent,Williston's fourth opponent,was easily beaten, 34-13, as Ide scored four touchdowns. Kent went
ahead on the kickoff when one of their backs ran the ball back 95 yards for a touchdown, but the Wildcats went right to work and led at half-time 20-7.
The following Saturday, the Williston eleven defeated Kimball Union Academy, 21-0. However, the score does not tell the whole story, for the last three quarters of the game were played in three inches of mud.
In the traditional game with Deerfield, Williston was defeated 20-7. The first half was clearly Deerfield's as the teams left the field with the Green leading 20-0. During the second half, however, the Blue and Gold fought Deerfield on even terms, while Ide broke away for an 85-yard run,scoring his 14th touchdown of the season.
This year our football team displayed the fine spirit and aggressiveness that have been characteristic of Williston teams for a great many years. The squad twice came from behind to win, once broke a tie to win in the second half, and in the Deerfield game outplayed the rivals in the second half. In addition, the team had considerably more support than in recent years, a very helpful factor in keeping up the morale.

Co-Captains Hathaway and Doolittle.
This year's soccer team at Williston enjoyed a successful season, thanks both to the fine spirit and to the excellent team play displayed by all the players.
Led by co-captains Jack Hathaway and Dan Doolittle, Williston began its season well, winning three out of its first four games and tying the University of Massachusetts freshmen in the other. During this time the Blue and Gold scored eight goals while allowing their opponents but three. The second half of the season saw Williston score twelve against six. In the last game of the season with Deerfield, Williston played one of its strongest games. A first-half scoring play was the only time when Williston was seriously outplayed. The loss of Jim Parker early in the game seriously hampered Williston's chances.
Wally Willard was the mainstay of the offensive team; he scored twelve of the team's twenty goals. Defensively Jack Hathaway, distinguishing himself as one of the finest goalies in prep school ranks, allowed only eleven goals in ten games. Brown, Burns, and Mennen formed an excellent halfback line. Dan Doolittle compiled the outstanding record of playing every minute of every game during his two years on Williston's team.
Once again Coach Babcock, together with assistant coaches Laurent and Howell, developed a team excellent in both ability and spirit. Everyone from coach to manager deserves credit for a job well done.

This year Coach Leon Waskiewicz's basketball team was more successful than in any of the past three seasons. Winning seven straight games against such capable opposition as Suffield, Wilbraham,and Cushing,the team looked as though it would finish undefeated. However, at Mt. Hermon the Wildcat five was stung with a one-point defeat. After that first taste of defeat they dropped the next three to Loomis, Amherst Freshmen, and Deerfield. Then followed a four-game win streak until Deerfield again toppled the Williston club, this time by two points, in the season finale.
The nucleus of this year's basketball team was made up of six exceptionally strong men. Half of these—Captain Jack Hathaway, Raymond Brown, and David Moriarty— were seniors; the other three—Robert Anderson, Walter Jackson, and Edward "Bubba" Hayes—were middlers. Hathaway, Anderson, and Hayes were the more consistent high scorers, but the other three boys all had at least one game in which they scored near twenty points.
Samuel Warner and James Jeffrey were the first string substitutes with David Boothby being called in for rebounding chores. Jeffrey has another year at Williston and six-foot, six-inch Boothby another two.
With the five aforementioned underclassmen and the boys from a strong Junior Varsity club approaching varsity skill, Mr. Waskiewicz can look forward to another fruitful season next winter.
Captain Jack Hathaway, the only first-squad letterman who returned from last year, deserves special mention. Last season, it was Hathaway who did all the scoring and who received all the headlines. This }fear he had to share both the scoring and the glory with other good ballplayers, but never once did he falter, for he would rather play for a winner than be a "glory-boy." That trait is the mark of both a true gentleman and a fine competitor.

This year's squash team, under the watchful guidance of Mr. Lawton, was a much-improved team, for it developed into one of the stronger crews in the area. Bolstered by captain Robert Zarchen and first-man Cohn Macheath, and strengthened by starters Don Kingman, Herbert Varnum,and Robert Graham, with James Wright and Norris McKee alternating as starting members, the group made an excellent showing for itself. The height of the season was an unexpected victory over Choate.
Although handicapped by a starting man's injury and by playing larger, stronger schools and college freshmen, the team showed a fighting spirit and high confidence.
Interest in Williston's development as a squashplaying team was shown by Dr.Louis Bishop's inviting Williston for the first time to enter the U. S. Invitational Squash Tournament in New York in March.
Although five of the first seven players are graduating, Coach Lawton feels that, since the underclassmen show considerable promise, prospects for the future look good.

With depth, versatility, balance, and tremendous spirit, this year's swimming team, rated by experts to be one of the best preparatory school teams ever, turned in a remarkable season. By looking at the summary of the Trinity Interscholastics, one can see that the squad was strong and well-balanced, for in almost every event there Williston placed two swimmers. Also, opposing teams never knew where Coach Babcock would swim his "allround" men. However,even with all the available ability, the team would never have made such an impressive record without its unbeatable spirit.
This spirit showed up strongest in the tremendous desire of the relay teams. Five National Preparatory School Relay Records were shattered between the medley trio of Carl Woolley, Curtis Wright, and Harlow "Chip" Ide, and the freestyle quartet of Ide, Foster de Jesus, Davis Tuggle, and Woolley. By these truly team-spirited boys the idea of working together was better liked than that of striving for individual glory.
However, it was not only the record-breakers who provided the thrilling moments. Perhaps the most spine-tingling event of the entire season was the final relay against Hotchkiss when, with the meet at stake, Williston splashed its way to victory. The true high point of the season was the Yale Freshmen meet in which the entire team did a superlative and inspired job, disregarding the fact that it suffered its only loss.
Special praise must be accorded to middler Carl Woolley. A member of all the recordbreaking relays, a holder of three school records and various pool records elsewhere, and a team man throughout, Carl crowned the season for all by being chosen to represent the United States in the colorful Pan-American games at Mexico City. Swimmers like Carl, under the fine coaching of Wilmot S. Babcock, bring out the best in Williston swimming.

Although the hockey team did not compile a very impressive record, it made a noticeable improvement as the season progressed. Playing many teams vastly superior to itself, the hockey team managed to give a good showing in every one of its games. One of the reasons for the impressive showings was the fiery spirit of the team. Although the players were many times behind the opposition, they never gave up trying until the final buzzer of the game.
The team was led very ably by captain Doolittle, who, besides being a very good defenseman, added scoring punch to the squad. George Rach and Lawrence Herzig, both new to the game, assisted the team greatly. The goal was tended by James Downing, who turned in an excellent performance even though he was the busiest man on the team.
The highlight of the season was the second Derfield game. After having lost 4-0 to the same team the previous week,the Williston team came from behind to tie the Deerfield squad in the second meeting. Such fighting spirit stands well in favor of the 1955 hockey team. The benefits of good coaching by Messrs. Buell, P. Stevens, and Maxwell and of good ice later in the season were shovvn by the team's'gradual improvement.
The 1955 winter track season confronted coaches Howell and Culver with the largest group of potential winter track men of recent years. After the entire team was worked into shape, there were extensive trials for positions on the team which was to compete in the B.A.A. Games event known as the New England Preparatory School One Mile Relay Championships. This team, composed of Greenwood, Hobby,Captain Norris, and Wilkinson, and alternates Maxymillian and Nolen, captured fourth place, besting, among others, all Western Massachusetts rivals. Two weeks later the entire team acquired a second place in a quadrangular meet. The final score of this meet was University of Massachusetts Freshmen, 56; Williston, 431 / 2; Wilbraham, 381 / 2; and Worcester 6. Easily the outstanding Williston contestant was Arthur Norris, who won both hurdle events, took a third in the 300-yard dash, and ran the anchor leg on the winning relay team. Soon thereafter twelve men traveled to Andover Academy to compete in the New England Preparatory School Championships,and they gained there a total of 61 / 2points by winning fourths in the mile and 1000-yard runs by Nolen and Hobby respectively, a tie for fourth in the 300yard dash by Greenwood, and a fifth place by the relay team of Arnold,Poignand,Secundy,and Orlandella. These few points again placed the Wildcats ahead of all Western Massachusetts opposition. The last meet of the season was a dual contest with Wilbraham in which Williston lost, 33-44.
The outstanding factor of this season was, however, neither wins nor sport, but rather the development of the new trackmen into potential winners.

In a winter that was a weather prophet's nightmare, a hockey player's dream, and a skier's despair, the Williston Ski Team maintained its spirits with some difficulty, yet with typical skiers' optimism it looks forward to better conditions next year. Although without a single meet and without sufficient snow for a single day's operation of the school's tow, the season was not without accomplishment. The leading skiers, particularly Captain Charles Schlesinger and Middler Jonathan Ezequelle,spent most of the weekends skiing on the excellent snow found only a short distance north of Williston. In competition against the leading junior skiers of the country at Lake Placid, both Schlesinger and Ezequelle placed respectably in the slalom event.
The rest of the team had to be satisfied with only occasional ski trips with the coaches. Everyday routine was running, over the cross country trail or other parts of Mount Tom, as conditioning for cross country skiing on the snow that never came. Despite the ironical turn of events which surrounded the entire area with good ski conditions yet left the Connecticut Talley bare, no members of the team deserted the cause; the skiers deserve praise for their spirit under such adverse conditions. Next year should be a successful one if Mother Nature is a little kinder.

Pre-season forecasts for a brilliant 1955 varsity baseball season looked accurate right up to the team's second game. Spring practice got off to an unusually fine start as good weather permitted the squad to begin outdoor training immediately. It seemed evident after the first days of practice that this was a potentially strong team capable of overtaking any opposition.
Paced by "Skip" Berlin, last year's most consistent hitter, "Bubba" Hayes, and Val Bourque, the batting lineup looked uniformly powerful. Opposing clubs would face a skilled infield with Hayes at first, Ray Brown at second, Bourque at shortstop, and Berlin at third. Fielders Marty Mennen,Leo Kocher,and George Balaschak appeared quite capable of handling their defensive chores. Both Bob Anderson and Captain
Mickey Reingold looked good on the mound.Handling perhaps the most difficult task of all was Jim Jeffrey, a well qualified catcher. Parker,Fassnacht,Rach,Dowd, Audi, and others composed the strong reserve bench.
Under the optimistic tutelage of Coaches Phillips Stevens and Dale Lash the boys quickly rounded into good form, which proved later to be only temporary, and trounced an inferior Suffield squad, 25-0, in the season opener; Williston baseball fever rose to an alltime high. However, after that opening rout, something went wrong. Generally sloppy ball handling and failure to hit cost the club a streak of close losses, increasing in length at press time. Hopes remained high for the comeback which a team such as this should enjoy.

It is difficult to make a prediction on the outcome of a season, particularly that of a track team. The 1955 harriers, however,showed great potential in their early days of practice, and promised to give stiff opposition to all opponents on the schedule. With a backbone of many returning lettermen and several promising newcomers, the team appeared to be in fine, well balanced condition. Under the leadership of Captain Arthur Norris, a fine hurdler, this year's team should prove to be every bit as strong as last year's. One favorable point is that the intramural Kennedy meet was run
off much earlier than last year, but most of the times or distances were almost as good and some better. With last year's interscholastic champions "Chip" Ide and "Wes" Formeister, as well as outstanding performers like sprinter Larry Herzig, jumpers Phil Wilkinson and John Greenwood, and distance men Mike Nolan, Amos Hobby, and Frank Britton, plus other outstanding athletes, under the guidance of expert coaches Howell, Culver, and Laurent, assisted by coaches Putnam and Buell, this team looked very good.

This year, as in almost every year, the opening of the tennis season was somewhat delayed by wet courts. However, while the spring sun was drying the courts, the boys were not idle. Under the watchful eyes and skilled guidance of Coaches Hepworth and Lawton, preparation was begun for the struggles ahead through indoor practice which concentrated largely on such fundamental aspects as stance and serve.
However, when the courts were brought into condition sufficiently for outdoor practice to commence, the results of ground work laid in the indoor sessions was immediately obvious as enthusiasm for the approaching 'season's prospects ran high.
The team was built around the only two varsity men who returned from last year—first-seated Fred Wood and second man George Black—and also Robert Loeber, as top man on last year's Junior Varsity. However, despite the comparative lack of more experienced players, the team is well stocked with a wealth of new players, of which the most promising were Alan Hagstrom, Thomas Taylor, Richard Ellington, William Filar, H. D. Lockwood, Malcolm Ottaway, Colin MacHeath, and Robert Graham, stand out on this winter's squash team. Such a talented roster as this made a successful season a practical certainty.
