DEDICATION

DAVID H. THOMAS, B.A., M.A.

In grateful appreciation for your constant and tireless service as a member of the Williston faculty for almost thirty years, we, the officers of the senior class and members of the Log executive staff dedicate the 1957 volume of the Williston Log to you, David H. Thomas, as an expression of the profound respect and esteem in which we hold you as a devoted teacher and, especially, as the unacclaimed, faithful, and diligent housemaster of Memorial Dormitory.

FIPREFACE

The intangible element which unites a school and exeits a major influence on the relative degree of success which the school attains in its purpose of student preparation may be termed school spirit. Every aspect of school activity is directly concerned with school spirit, and the school itself also determines the general feeling and attitude.

The Williston Log has attempted to show the reader all the different segments which go to make up Williston Academy. School spirit is an extremely vital factor in the unification of these segments. For this reason, the Log staff has chosen school spirit in various phases of school activity as the theme of the 1957 Williston Log.

LOG ASSISTANTS

The Executive Board of this year's Log feels that it can look upon its achievement with pride. Although looming deadlines never failed to bring about moments of desperation, the staff managed to meet them and produced an excellent edition of the Log.

Work started early in the fall, when the Log Calendar was compiled. Business Manager Warren Hinchcliffe and his assistants proved their capabilities by selling a remarkable number of calendars. Even more important, Hinchcliffe did a fine job in handling the advertising section and made a good financial basis for the Log.

In order to present a better representation of life at Williston, the Executive Board established a new academic section, emphasizing a candid view of the main purpose of the school. The photography staff, led by Steven David, deserves credit for the success of the important candid element of the Log. Donald Bliss, as Managing Editor, was indispensable in planning picture schedules, organizing formal portraits, and coordinating material. Roger Wood, Art Editor, brought fresh humor into the Log with his original contributions. The literary staff, led by Literary Editor Geoffrey Waddell, and supported by a group of Middler and Senior writers, handled its department in excellent fashion.

Most important of all were the outstanding contributions of David Montague, who, as Editor-in-Chief, had to organize and carry through to completion all phases of the Log's production. Finally, the entire staff is especially grateful to Adviser David Stevens, for his constant and tireless work in guiding the progress of the Log.

This year the Willistonian staff concentrated on turning out a greater number of papers with a greater abundance of feature articles. Although the loss of Mr. Maxwell's valuable assistance was felt by the entire staff, Editor Ken Heath and Mr. Phillips Stevens, adviser, continued to produce excellent editions.

Nat Bickford, as News Editor, handled the front page news assignrnents, as well as writing several editorials on various subjects. Dave Montague handled the feature articles, receiving support from Corby Finney. Co-sports Editors Fred Markella and Bob Birch presented a bright and lively sports page.

Aside from the literary contributions, extra credit is due Warren Hinchcliffe, who never failed to meet deadlines with typed copy, Nestor Nicholas, Advertising Manager, and Chuck Warner, who were responsible for mailing the paper to nearly five hundred parents, alumni, and subscribers. Most important, however, the long, hard work of Editorin-Chief Ken Heath enabled the Willistonian to present more papers than in previous years, to give the school fresher and more vital news, and to make this year's Willistonian an outstanding publication.

The Williston Academy Glee Club, under the capable direction of Mr. Teller and with the accompaniment of Mr. Curtiss, has had a very successful year.

President Prentiss de Jesus, Vice-President Toni Perry, and managers Nat Bickford and Forbes Warren have contributed greatly to the spirit, co-operation, and success of the organization.

One of the school's largest and most sought-after activities, the Glee Club, rehearsing twice-weekly, fulfilled the demands of a busy season. On December 15, the group joined the Northampton School for Girls in presenting the ninth annual Christmas Concert. A varied program was highlighted by selections from Gian-Carlo Mehotti's Christmas opera,"Amahl and the Night Visitors."

On February 16, the second concert of the season was held with the Chaffee School for Girls in Windsor, Connecticut. On March 1, the Glee Club presented its annual concert at the Southampton Congregational Church, where it was received enthusiastically. The following week, the club journeyed to Northfield to participate in the sixth annual Preparatory Schools' Glee Club Festival.

The highlight of the year was the joint presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Iolanthe" by selected members of the Williston and Northampton School for Girls glee clubs. As a result of hard and persistent rehearsing, the operetta was an outstanding contribution to the school year.

The Glee Club concluded an excellent season by participating in Commencement exercises on June 9.

The Williston Academy Double Quartet is one of the school's most popular organizations. Under the direction of Mr. Teller, the group, comprised of the best singers in school, has been active in singing with the Glee Club at its various concerts.

This year's Double Quartet was made up of the following: Peter LaFontaine and Bruce Eldridge, first tenors; William Romanos and Franz Schmitt, second tenors; Geoffrey Waddell and Christopher Pilat, first basses; and Brian Studwell and Warren Woodworth, second basses. Mr. Curtiss served as accompanist to the group.

The Double Quartet opened its season December 15 at Williston in a joint concert with the Northampton School for Girls. The group also sang together with the Glee Club at the Southampton concert on March 1. Their ability as singers in addition to the special training they received as members of the Double Quartet enabled many of the members of the group to take leading parts in the Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta, "Iolanthe."

Among the more popular selections sung by the group were an old English folk song, "Amo, Amas, I Love a Lass," a sea chantey, "Blow Ye Winds," and a Russian folk song, "At Father's Door." The entire Double Quartet deserves credit for doing an outstanding job at all its appearances.

Under the direction of Messrs. Boardman and Cottrell, the Dramatic Club had an outstanding year. Because of the crowded,schedule of school events, it was necessary to present the major play, "The Man Who Came to Dinner," during the Fall Term. The success of this major production encouraged certain members of the club to present a one-act play, "Trash," and excerpts from "Mr. Roberts" later in the season.

On December 1, the Northampton School for Girls' Mask and Wig Society joined the Williston club in presenting "The Man Who Came to Dinner." An excellent performance was given by Corby Finney, who impressed the audience with his excellent acting of an exceptionally long and difficult part. Art Pellman, the frantic, lice-loving professor; Dave Gaze, a small-time newspaper man; John Willett, an eccentric Cockney; and Peter Revson, a raccoon-coated "Hollywood wit-wit," all gave memorable performances. Sonie Damon and Penny Block, playing the female leads, added beauty as well as fine acting to the production.

The club's presentation of "Trash," a one-act play, was keynoted by the acting of Ken Heath, president and mainstay of the club, and by that of Mr. Boardman, who provided much amusement in his portrayal of an old tramp. In the excerpts from "Mr. Roberts," Dave Gaze, Larry Greene, and Mr. Cottrell were featured. The entire club owes a debt of gratitude to Mr. Boardman and Mr. Cottrell for their untiring efforts in making the Dramatic Club presentations successful.

STUDENT COUNCIL

The Student Council is one of the most important organizations in the school. Members are elected by each class for their qualities of leadership, integrity, and interest in the school community. Besides its position as a student governing body, the Council has made an effort this year to further its capacity as an independent counselling group, aiding students in their problems, promoting a closer feeling of harmony between students and faculty, and helping to maintain a smooth-running organization.

The Council has innumerable specific duties. Its authority is respected at all times, and, whenever necessary, a member may take disciplinary measures in order to discourage infraction of school regulations. In the dormitory, each Council member works with a certain section of boys, making sure that regulations are carried out and aiding each boy in a friendly, personal manner.

The Student Council, led this year by Forbes Warren, President, and Nathaniel Bickford, Vice-President, and advised by Mr. Phillips Stevens, has added greatly to the excellent student attitude and harmony of the year.

The Williston "Y" Cabinet, one of the oldest of school organizations, was originally founded as a religious group. Although it has gradually changed its main purpose to that of helping charitable organizations, the religious aspect is still carried out. The Cabinet sponsors an annual delegation to the religious conference held in Northfield, Mass.; its members also speak in chapel every Thursday evening.

The "Y" Cabinet held several drives this year in support of worthy causes, including a magazine collection for the Soldiers' Home in Holyoke and a clothing drive for needy families in West Germany. Another important yearly function of the Cabinet is The Williston Scholarship, which pays full tuition for a student at the American University at Beirut, Lebanon. A donation was also made to the World University Service for its work in foreign lands.

The "Y" Cabinet Reception and Buck Party were "Y" Cabinetsponsored affairs help early in the fall in order to help new boys become better acquainted with each other and with Williston. The Cabinet also held a dance, through which funds were raised for the year's activities.

The school owes a great debt of gratitude to Mr. Charles E. Rouse, adviser, to Peter Odell, president, and to all members of this organization for its efficient service.

HONOR COMMITTEE

Seated, Left to Right: Horton, Montague (chairman), Kerin. Standing: Ellington, Slawsby.

One of the most responsible positions that Williston has to offer is that of membership on the Honor Committee. This organization of carefully selected boys is important to the life of every member of the school society. The committee is designed to handle the serious problems which are inevitable in any large community. If a boy is suspected of a serious offense, he is secretly—usually not even with the knowledge of the faculty—requested to meet with the Committee in order to discuss his problems. In the case of a first offender,serious action is seldom taken, because of the belief that a boy will respect a warning and will not make the same error twice. The intent of the Committee is to delve into the background of the boy's mistake and to help him get back on the right path.

Much appreciation should be shown this organization for its careful, conscientious work this year.

The Williston Sailing Club, advised by Mr. David Stevens, enjoyed its most successful season in many years. Beginning with several informal gatherings on Norwich Lake in the.fall, the club showed an enlarged membership with numerous able skippers.

The Club purchased from Amherst College four additional twelvefoot boats, equipped with all sails and spars. The boats were in rather worn condition; consequently, throughout the winter, members managed to fiberglass only one, although nearly finishing another. With the eiperience gained, however, the rest of the new fleet should soon be completed. Other winter term activity was highlighted by a discussion led by Tom Hazlehurst, captain of the Brown University Sailing Team.

During the spring term, the team participated in two meets with Lenox, the Brown Interscholastic Regatta, and several informal meets. In all instances the Williston sailors placed admirably.

Ken Heath, president of the club, served as team captain and coskipper, along with Merritt Carlton, co-skipper, at the Interscholastic Yacht Racing Regatta held in June at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut.

DEBATING CLUB

The Adelphi-Gamma Sigma, under the direction of Messrs. Thomas, Lawton, and Henchey enjoyed an interesting and succeSsful debating season. Several extremely able new boys in addition to a nucleus of old members formed a strong organization.

Early in the fall, a series of intramural debates and discussions were held in preparation for outside encounters. The Junior Varsity Team,composed of David Gaze,Samuel Thomas, Richard Salwen, and Skip Gwiazda, debated with several schools, including Mount Hermon and Deerfield, "Resolved: The United States should adopt the basic principles of the Brannan Plan."

The Varsity debate action was centered around this year's intercollegiate topic, "Resolved: The United States should discontinue all direct economic aid to foreign countries." Steven David, Charles Feldman, Robert Ulm, and Peter Cressy were the Varsity men. Highlighting the season was the fourth annual triangular debate with Mount Hermon and Deerfield.

Officers for the first half year were Ulm, president; Feldman, vice-president; and Korson, secretary. These were succeeded in February by David, president; Feldman, vice-president; and Ulm,secretary.

CHESS CLUB

The Williston Chess Club has enjoyed an active season under the able direction of Mr. Thorner, adviser, and the leadership of Warren Hinchcliffe, president. Slightly handicapped at the beginning of the year by some new, inexperienced boys, the team met defeat in a close match with Mount Hermon. However, through active and enthusiastic attendance at Thursday evening sessions, the younger members greatly increased their abilities in the game. Mr. Thorner and Dr. Gilbert, a neighbor to the Williston campus, used their skills in making each member deft and experienced at chess. Through their conscientious effort, the Chess Club has greatly benefited.

Leading the organization were Eldridge and Westgate on trumpets, Perry at trombone,Tatlock and R.0. White on clarinets, Wood and Montague at flute and piccolo, Pellman and Korn on saxophones, and Sanders at the drums.

Concluding their successful season at the Deerfield basketball game in the recreation center, the Band merits the gratitude and enthusiasm with which the student body has.followed its activities.

SCIENCE CLUB

Under the leadership of Dr. Phillips, the Science Club has had an interesting and successful year. The purpose of the club is to augment the scientific knowledge of its members, while giving every student, whether or not he is taking a science course, the opportunity of attending educational lectures and movies pertaining to various scientific fields.

Among the speakers this year were Dr. Albert E. Wood, professor of Biology at Amherst College; Dr. Ralph Phillips, who discussed high-fidelity reproduction; and Mr. Robert Snyder, who talked on static electricity. Movies of various subjects, including photography and atomic energy, were shown throughout the year.

As a result of elections taking place in February, Dick Meehan was elected president and John Seely Brown, vice-president.

With four licensed amateurs, John Seely Brown K2HUM, Hugh Gilman — W1FYC, Mac Harper — W1FYM,and Pete Shaw — WlYPQ,the need for more useful equipment became increasingly apparent. The F. C. C. regulation limiting a novice to a power input of 75 watts raised considerable discussion, for the only transmitter available could not be run at less than 200 watts. Equipment used by the Radio Club was donated to the school several years ago by the Radio Shack Corporation of Boston. In view of the novice regulation, the club decided to sell much of its apparatus and to purchase modern, lower-power equipment, which could be used by General Class and Novice Class. Because of the efforts of the members and interest shown by Mr. Stevens and Dr. Phillips, the Radio Club promises to offer greater operating efficiency and pleasure in future years.

The Williston Athletic Advisory Board is composed of both student representatives and the head coaches of varsity teams. The students, captains and managers of the nine varsity organizations, hold their membership during the seasons of their respective sports. The main purpose of the Board is to guide athletic functions and policy during the school year.

The two main duties of the group, which meets at the end of each athletic season, are the awarding of letters to boys who have earned the honor competing in a varsity sport and the choosing of managers for each of next year's teams. The Board, moreover, in setting the school's athletic policy, decided to make squash a varsity sport and also deserves credit for shortening the athletic banquets by establishing the policy of awarding letters apart from the banquet at team meetings.

The group's fine work in setting and carrying out the school's athletic policy is a much appreciated part of Williston's athletic program.

GOLD KEY

The Gold Key was introduced this year in an effort to give a proper stimulus to school spirit. Its members, Nat Bickford, Bob Birch, Corby Finney, Duke Ellington, Art Pellman, and Forbey Warren, helped immeasurably in their efforts at building greater enthusiasm at school athletic functions.

The main projects of the Gold Key were rallies preceding athletic events, the most important being for the traditional football game with Deerfield. Several bonfires were staged in the fall with ekcellent turnouts of spirited students. Although on one occasion rain reduced what might have been a spectacular bonfire to a pile of smoldering wood,and a raft, not too skillfully built with green wood by Gold Key members,sank upon launching, spirit was not dampened.

As cheerleaders at important football and basketball games throughout the year, the Gold Key was instrumental in supplying the tone of victory. Having paved the way as the first organization of its type, the Gold Key will undoubtedly become an increasingly important factor in school activity.

The Williston Academy football team, playing against exceptionally rough competition, managed to have a good season, winning three of their seven games. Under the fine coaching staff headed by Mr. Graves and including Mr. Brown, Mr. Denault, Mr. Kaczynski, Mr. Lash, and Mr. Stevens, the Wildcats, paced by good running and intense spirit, defeated Loomis,Wilbraham,and Avon.

The team opened their season with a disappointing 6-0 loss to Hotchkiss. The Wildcats, led by the ground attack of Pervere and Lash, drove early in the game to the Hotchkiss two-yard line only to fumble. Late in the second period, Hotchkiss capitalized on a penalty called against Williston and scored the game's only touchdown.

In the second game,the Wildcats handed an out-classed Loomis team a 20-0 defeat. Boodie Pervere turned in an excellent performance, scoring one touchdown and passing for another Tim Horton accounted for two scores by grabbing aerials from Pervere and Romanos.

The Blue and Gold opened its home season with an 18-0 victory over Wilbraham. The Williston drive was spearheaded by the passing of Willie Romanos and the running of Boodie Pervere. The forward line, including Captain Kerin, Hewes, Redmond, and Greene, deserves special mention for stopping two Wilbraham drives on the one-yard line.

On October 27,the team suffered an 18-6 defeat by the fast and efficient Kimball Union eleven. Although the Blue and Gold held their own for the first half, Kimball Union

poured on speed and power in the second half to wrap up the game. Williston's only offensive spark of the afternoon occurred in the fourth quarter on a side-lateral pass from Romanos to Hutchinson, who sprinted sixty yards to the goal line.

The traditional game with Deerfield left no doubt as to the machine-like superiority of the large and heavy Deerfield squad, which scored four touchdowns early in the game. Behind 27-7,the Wildcats rallied to score twice, paced by the fine running of Pervere and Lash, who combined for Williston's points. Romanos and Hutchinson were also instrumental in obtaining these scores. Deerfield quickly tallied three more times to crush the Blue and Gold 48-20.

Completely recovered from the Deerfield defeat, the Wildcats trounced Avon 31-12. The Blue and Gold were practically unstoppable, with Pervere and Lash grinding out the yardage.

The season's finale proved to be an anticlimax when the Blue and Gold ran up against a Vermont team boasting a line average of 205 pounds per man. Williston's lack of size showed most heavily in the second half as Vermont racked up several touchdowns. The Wildcats made a special effort to score in the fourth quarter, but the passing and running attack of Romanos and Pervere fell short of the goal.

This season's football team displayed fine spirit and aggressiveness, and was a team of which the school can be proud.

This year the Williston soccer team had a successful season, overcoming their weak start with hard work and team spirit. Faced with a general lack of experienced players, Coaches Babcock and Laurent developed previously inexperienced players and produced a fast, aggressive team.

Starting the season with a 2-0 loss to Renssalaer,the Blue and Gold nevertheless showed their determination when they outplayed the Renssalaer squad during the entire second half of the game. Earning their first victory the next week, the Wildcats easily overcame a weak Monson team, 4-1. Again showing their lack of experience, the team dropped two games in a row to Choate and Loomis. With extraordinary improvement, however, the Wildcats bounced back to defeat Suffield, Avon,and Cranwell by the same 3-0 score. These victories were keynoted by the sensational kicking of McClintock and the shutout goal-tending of Hagstrom. After an exciting overtime game with Cranwell, which ended in a tie, the Wildcats dropped their next two games to league-leading Deerfield and second-place Mount Hermon. Approaching the last game of the season with apprehension, the Wildcats made a noteworthy team effort. Playing its finest soccer of the season, the team roundly defeated a highly-ranked Wilbraham team,4-1.

Although the team was weak in spots, it boasted the best goalie in its league, Al Hagstrom. Also strong defensively were Halfback Schmitt and Fullback Burland. The offensive line was sparked by the brilliant kicking ability of McClintock and the ball-handling of Captain Chigounis and Claude Thebaud. Among the new talent,Lefty Frank and Jim Naylor developed quickly into mainstays of the team. Once again having a great lack of returning lettermen,Coaches Babcock and Laurent developed an able and spirited team which deserves credit for a job well done.

The Williston Academy Swimming Team once again had an undefeated season in private school competition. An otherwise perfect record was broken only by a 39-38 loss to the Yale Freshmen. Moreover, Coach Babcock's trainees, sparked by the remarkable development of the younger swimmers, also won both the Trinity and New England Interscholastic Swimming Championships.

Outclassing mostof their opponents,the mermen scored easy victories over such schools as Hotchkiss, Mt. Hermon, and Worcester. In a single meet with Springfield Technical High School,the team broke two national private school records. Boydell set the mark in the 120-yard individual medley,and Chennells,Cipriano,deJesus,and Raymond led in the 160yard individual medley relay. The Yale Freshman squad, however, nosed out the Williston team in spite of the upset victory of Captain Prentiss deJesus over Captain Foster deJesus of the Yale team.The mermen next encountered a previously undefeated Deerfield Academy squad. Led by Chennells, Sampson, deJesus and Kendall, the Williston mermen won a thrilling meet climaxed by the final relay, which gave Williston the 39-38 victory. Continuing at this feverish pace, the swimmers edged out Deerfield both at Trinity and at the New England championships. Chennells set the pace at Trinity,establishing a meet record in the breaststroke, while Raymond swam the individual medley in record time at the New England Championships.

The consistently good performances of Co-Captains deJesus and Cipriano, together with the marked improvement of such swimmers as Chennells, Raymond, and Kendall, highlighted another succeessful season. In addition, the hard work, the high spirit, and especially the tireless efforts of Coach Babcock provided the squad with the necessary determination and depth to Make Williston's the best private school team in New England.

Captain Pervere Scores Against Deerfield.

The Varsity Basketball team,coached by Mr. Lash, compiled an impressive eight-five record for the 1956-57 season. The outstanding wins were recorded against Deerfield, Mount Hermon, and Choate. Both Deerfield and Hermon went down to defeat twice at the hands of the Williston team. Other wins were made against Wilbraham, Cranwell, and Loomis. Losses to Amherst Freshmen and Vermont Academy were expected, for both these teams went on to establish excellent records. Rounding out the losing column were Suffield, Wilbraham,and Monson.

Lack of height and rebound ability against taller quintets were the main drawbacks accounting for the losses of the season; however, in most cases, the Williston team, led by "Boodie" Pervere, made up for their size deficiency with skillful team effort, aggressiveness, and speed.

Pervere finished the season with the highest point average, 17.3,followed by Billy Romanos, with 11.2. Rounding out the five were Al Hagstrom, Dex Pond, and Charlie Lyons, each of whom did an excellent job. Tim Horton, Bob Burrell, and Rod Jaros provided a valuable reserve unit.

The combined forces of three returning lettermen and a strong group of boys from the Junior Varsity team should make next year's squad a powerful one.

In its first year of participation as a varsity sport, the Squash Team, coached by Mr. Lawton, enjoyed a favorable season. Playing against heavy odds due to sickness and accidents among the first five, the racketmen were unable to overcome the strength of Trinity and Williams Freshmen, although in each of the meets they made an excellent showing. The Williston men fared better on the prep-school level, splitting double encounters with Choate Varsity and Deerfield B Varsity. The outstanding match of the season was the victory over Deerfield, in which the entire team gave concrete evidence of its improvement. Lettermen for the year were Captain Harold Gaffin,John Hutchinson,Nat Bickford,Bob Ellis,and Dave Montague.

Next season's team should be an excellent one. Although several of the starters are lost through graduation, there are many promising players in the lower squad. With Squash firmly established as a Varsity sport, a growing interest in the sport has been noticeable.

Captain Pfeifer

The Hockey Team,gravely hindered by poor ice conditions, demonstrated more ability and agressiveness than their record of three wins and six losses indicates. Coached by Mr. Carpenter,the team played three of their scheduled games with very little previous practice, but later in the season it showed definite improvement by defeating a strong Suffield squad, 2-1.

The first line was composed of Captain Gene Pfeifer, center; John Houghton, left wing; and Richard Dixon, right wing. These players also played defensively against some of the stronger teams and gave the team spirit and fight. Peter LaFontaine,Dick Schlesinger, and Pete Knight made up the regular defensive positions. Dave Gregory,goalie, was instrumental in the team's success and did an excellent job at his position. Steve Klein, Dick Morrison and Bob Redmond made up the alternate line.

The outstanding attribute of the year's squad was the remarkable improvement shown by each member,especially those who rose from the lower squad. With the majority of the lettermen returning, Coach Carpenter feels that chances for a more successful record next year are excellent.

Early snow got the Williston Ski Team off to a fine start, with a full schedule planned for the coming months. However, poor conditions developed a few days before the first meet and remained throughout the Winter Term. As a result, the team went without a meet this year, much to the disappointment of all those concerned.

The Ski Team was much larger than it has been in past years. Much potential, which could have been put to good use if nature had complied, was shown by several members. Outstanding were Ken Heath, Lee Halverson, Sydney Williams, and Paul Brunner.

During the snowless period at the beginning of the season, cross-country running and clearing of the slopes conditioned the team for its expected meets. In February and March, when earlier hopes receded, the Williston cabin,was the site of operations,the team project being an increase of the wood supply.

Ken Heath was captain of this year's team, which might have proved itself to be the best in some years. Coach Stevens and returning members feel certain that the outlook for next year is most favorable, and, with skiers' optimism, anticipate the return of a real New England winter.

WRESTLING TEAM

The Wrestling Team, in its second year as a Williston sport, enjoyed a comparatively good season. Although wrestling is not a Varsity sport, the squad nevertheless had a large turnout of recruits, strengthened by several experienced boys.

The season began with a heavy accent on conditioning, under the fine coaching of Mr. Peter Bouchard. Later, emphasis was put on advanced technique. Although .the team's record was not outstanding, mainly because of forfeited weight classes, several boys turned in excellent individual performances. Leading the team were Charlie Feldman with a six-one record, and Jack Nickerson, totalling five-two.

Wrestling throughout the season against good competition, the participants gained much experience, and a large number of well-trained wrestlers will be returning next year.

The Winter Track Team consisted mainly of boys who were preparing for Spring Track, since the non-varsity sport gives more emphasis to conditioning than to competition. In their meets, a lack of first place winners accounted for losses to Deerfield and Wilbraham, but the team did demonstrate great depth,scoring in every event in the Quadrangular Meet at the University of Massachusetts.

Several outstanding individual performances were recorded this season.The team boasted two Western Massachusetts champions, Dave Gaze in the high hurdles and Corby Finney in the three-hundred-yard dash. Winning performances were also recorded by John Adams,in the hurdles; John Chigounis, the dash; Ed Kerin, the shotput; Lefty Frank, Jim Naylor, the six-hundred-yard dash; Duke Ellington, the high jump; Perry Patteson and Ken West, the thousandyard race; and Bill Harmon,the mile race.

Many of this season's trackmen having been conditioned in Winter Track, the Varsity Track Team appears to be in strong, well-balanced form. Though somewhat lacking in spectacular individuals, the team boasts depth and steady performance.

Outstanding men in the various departments include Ed Kerin, Pete LaFontaine, and Dick Meehan in the weights; Corby Finney, Franz Schmitt, John Chigounis, Red White, and Skip Gwiazda as sprinters; distancemen Bill Harmon, Al Shaw, Ken West, and Jim Naylor; and Dave Gaze, John Adams, and John Hutchinson in the hurdles and jumps.

Coached by Mr. Laurent, Mr. Culver, Mr. Brown,and Mr.Cottrell, the team faces stiff competition this season, including meets with Mt. Hermon, Wilbraham, Vermont Academy, the triangular meet with Deerfield and Loomis, and finally the Interscholastics. However, the prospects for a successful season are good.

At the outset of the first full season utilizing four newly installed courts, enthusiasm for the tennis team is on a high level. With an unusual number of players going out for tennis because of increased facilities, a wide array of talent has demonstrated both strength and depth.

Spring practice got off to an excellent start as good weather and early conditioning of the courts permitted the squad to begin immediate outdoor practice.

Heading the team are three lettermen returning from last year: Captain Nat Bickford, Duke Ellington, and Al Hagstrom. Also ranking high are baseball convert Boodie Pervere, Tom Emmons, Bill Ellis, and John Harper. These boys, spurred on by members of the J.V. team keenly competing for top positions, and ably coached by Mr. Hepworth, should make the tennis team one of the strongest in recent years.

Other starters composing a strong infield are Charlie Lyons at first base and Bob Ebersold at third, backed by Marshall Benjamin and Richie Lash. The battery includes catchers Bob Watson and Chuck Warner, with Bob Ebersold and Dave Walles reserves for the mound. Lettermen Frank and Mainville, together with Raymond, make up a skilled outfield.

Faced with a heavy schedule, this year's team—the last to play on Sawyer Field before moving to a new diamond on Galbraith—has the potential for an excellent record.
