The Log, Williston Academy's yearbook, serves to give the departing students a memento of the days spent in the classroom and on the athletic fields and of the nights in activities and evening study. There are many annual events which vary little in appearance and in production, but each year there is one fad which separates this year from all others. This fad of unusual hats or the delicate spinning of diamond-embedded yo-yos is something which distinguishes a class and which recalls to the members of this class the adventures and struggles in their last year at preparatory school.
Unbeknownst to the students, the theme of this year's yearbook was introduced in a chapel talk, and the students elaborated upon our theme,"The shadow of Mount Tom, that magic mountain with the happy trick," with stories, conversations, and raillery. For this reason the Log staff presents to the class of 1959 this theme in hopes that it will express the one characteristic which will distinguish this class.
To sum up our theme, we present the following article by columnist Edward E. Whiting of The Boston Herald,'93, written after his thirtieth reunion at Williston Academy:
Whiting's Column June 16, 1928
Williston is an American school. It is a New England school. It was founded in 1841 by Samuel Williston, who made a good deal of money, as money was reckoned in those days, in cloth-covered buttons. He was a God-fearing man. There are many schools in New England with similar traditions; and for a good many years they have been graduating classes of boys who go thence into colleges, or business or professional life. And how many high schools are there, scattered about the country, training youth to know the truth and love it? And when you think of them all, what do you think the prospect is for our country?
Every good school accumulates traditions and customs; and there is an atmosphere which gathers about these American institutions, and when the old boys come back after many years, they find this atmosphere still there. Something grips hold of them as they wander about, looking for old landmarks.
Williston is in the shadow of Mount Tom that magic mountain of western Massachusetts that has the happy trick of looking much higher than it is. Its summit is but twelve hundred
feet above sea level; but it rises abruptly at one end from fertile plains. Looking down from the summit, these plains, marked off in rich farming lands, look like giants' checker boards. Looking up at the trap-rock cliffs of the mountain, from below, one breathes deep in awe at the strength of the Lord. The mountain has been there so long and it stands so firm! We think to live for a few years in the shadow of a great hill is good for a man, or a boy. The hills tell of the glory of God, and the strength of His arm.
Rich men's sons go to Williston, as to all good schools; and they find something there. At Williston they find something of fine traditions; and they breathe in the echoes of the eternal voice of the New England hills. Poor men's sons go there; and they are close to the same traditions, and they hear the voice of the same hills. Maybe there comes to them all, rich and poor, advantaged and struggling, subconsciously the thought that the voice of the hills and of the valleys is the universal language, older than man's wealth, more enduring than caste, nobler than any rivalries of mankind.
Some thing of the Spirit of God is in our New England schools.
PRESENTED
THE MEMORIAL DORMITORY
The Homestead, the home of Samuel Williston, the founder of Williston Academy in 1841, and his wife, Emily Graves Williston from 1822 to 1843, now serves as the residence of the headmaster.
Great faith in his friends and trust in his students are the qualities which have distinguished Mr. Phillips Stevens. For ten years these qualities, along with his affability, have established him as a highly respected leader as Headmaster of Williston Academy. In his untiring efforts to keep Williston abreast of its educational standards, and in his determination to help others succeed, he has gained the admiration of his fellows.
Mi. Stevens' greatest achievement has been in fulfilling a far-sighted vision, originating in the will of Mrs. Williston, for a _united campus. In 1946 the Board of Trustees outlined the plans for a future campus to be established on the grounds surrounding the Homestead, which were bequeathed to the school in the will. Already located in this property were Ford Hall, built by Dr. Joseph Sawyer in 1917, and the Williston Gymnasium, completed by Dr. Galbraith in 1930. The Board of Trustees inaugurated a Second Century campaign to raise funds for a new war memorial school building and to create the new machinery that would build the leaders of the coming generations. Assuming the position of Headmaster in 1949, Mr. Stevens undertook the tremendous task of developing a unified campus.
The first step in this plan was the purchase of three buildings from the United Elastic Corporation. Alterations upon these buildings began immediately with the removal and replacement of old wiring, plumbing, and partitions. The first floor of the Schoolhouse was remodeled to house an alumni reception room, a post office, and other office space to accommodate the school's business staff. The upper floors provided classrooms, and the ground floor supplied a snack bar and storerooms. The Assembly Building afforded a spacious study hall and an adequate chapel with a memorial set of chimes adjoining the organ. The lower floor contained facilities for science laboratories. The most attractive building of the new group was the Herbert M. Plimpton Library, a beautifully furnished building with ample room for numerous reference books.
The second step for a unified campus required the prudence and meticulous decisions of the Headmaster and Board of Trustees. This move called for the appropriation of funds to construct the New Dormitory and renovate the "Gold Coast," Ford Hall. The use of bequests lying idle, the disposal of the old campus, and the interest upon school securities, along with the donations of alumni and friends of the school, made this achievement possible. As Williston opened her one hundred and tenth year, the dream of a unified campus was a reality. The last day of the fall term of 1950 marked the occupancy of the new War Memorial Dormitory, offering facilities for 138 boys, apartments for three married faculty members and three single masters, in addition to a recreation room. The remodeling of Ford Hall was designed to accommodate five masters, two married, and the members of the senior class. Then followed the construction of a new dining room facing the Williston Pond and Mt. Tom and equipped with a kitchen to feed both the Upper and Junior Schools. As a memorial to the century of the past, murals honoring the prominent Williston faculty and students and the old campus were placed on the dining room walls.
The establishment of a quadrangle completed the dream of a unified campus, but it did not stop the plan
to meet the changing conditions of modern educational institutions. A new project included the acquistion of the Pitcher property, with the construction of new tennis courts. The renovation of Sawyer Field with a new track and straightaway, and the purchase of a twentyacre field adjoining the Galbraith Field were accomplished in 1955-58. At the same time the Williston parents raised funds to replace the thirty-year old wooden bridge with a 110-foot steel-cement bridge across Williston Pond.
Mr. Stevens' enthusiasm and determination in his latest project almost single-handedly made possible the construction of the new Science Building. This building required a loan which would take many years to repay, but Mr. Stevens assumed responsibility for the debt, stressing the advancement which our nation has made towards the improvement of scientific facilities. Mr. Stevens considered that the alumni support for the project was a mandate for the building's construction.
Not only does the building contain fully-equipped laboratories, but also it offers a manual arts room for woodworking and metalworking and a graphic arts room for freehand and mechanical drawing, ceramics, sculpture, and sketching. A photography darkroom and three music practice rooms accompany an elaborate music classroom, a theatre workshop, a Green Room, and. a well-furnished Classics Room. Originally proposed in a plan for renovating the Old Gymnasium to preserve the famous Gym Tower, the four-hundred-seat Howard G. Boardman Auditorium, also a part of the new building, is equipped with a large stage and a Cinemascope screen.
The addition and renovation of these buildings suggested an increase in enrollment. The enrollment when Mr. Stevens became Headmaster was 216. As a step towards the increase, the upper floor of the Infirmary was remodeled, and additions were built upon the Campbell House. The Junior School House was renamed the Swan Cottage as the Junior School united with the Upper School in 1956 to give Williston five classes. These additions allowed the enrollment to reach 349.
In ten years Mr. Stevens has accomplished much in moving Williston to a unified campus through his neverceasing determination and drive, but an even greater deed is his unification of a well-organized student body. Affectionately known as the "Kingpin," Mr. Stevens has a congenial relationship with the students. Especially concerned with the appearance of the campus, he has gone out of his way to keep it tidy. The boys feel free to talk over problems with him, for the door of his office is always open. He places the interest of the school above his personal interests.
In 1958 his Alma Mater, Williams College, awarded Mr. Stevens the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters with this citation: — "A wise and sympathetic counselor of youth, Phillips Stevens of the class of 1935, Headmaster of Williston Academy, has rebuilt a famous old New England School with imagination and outstanding success."
It is to Mr. Stevens, our Headmaster, for his affability and faith in others, that we dedicate the 1959 Log in appreciation of his achievement in making Williston what it is today.

Increased alumni activity has been evident over the course of this year. The Alumni Fund has grown quite remarkably. Only seven other preparatory schools have surpassed Williston in per cent of Alumni Fund contributors. Three of them — Milton, St. Paul's (Concord, N. H.), and Noble and Greenough — were in the 50 per cent bracket. Andover, Exeter, Taft, and Deerfield had alumni contributions over 40%. Williston was highest in the 30% group.
One of the outstanding facts of Williston's growth, however, is that in ten years since Mr. Stevens' inauguration as headmaster in 1949, the percentage of Alumni Fund contributors has jumped from 5.2% to 39.12%.
57.83% participation by the class of 1957, which won the Alumni Trophy for the highest participation, proves that such figures can be reached. The class of 1933 won the Class of 1905 Trophy, which is awarded for the highest percentage increase over the preceding year. The '33 participation increased by an astronomical 531.8%.
As evidence of the desire to have greater Alumni Participation, an alumnus has recently offered to give the school in 1959 $100 for each percentage point and fraction thereof up to 50% participation. Moreover, if the fund reaches 50%, he will make an additional gift of $5,000.
The tangible aspects of the Alumni Fund are cold facts — for instance, in the last five years alumni participation has increased 145%. By means of such support, Williston's landscape has improved remarkably. Such highlights as the new Science Building, the Parents' Bridge, the additions to Campbell House, and the renovation of Swan Cottage have been made possible. Thus by supporting Williston, alumni and prospective alumni will make the school look better not only on paper, but also in physical appearance.
Outside the scope of fund statistics, contributions by alumni have appeared in a more noticeable way. One generous, though anonymous alumnus gave the school a bus—a gift which has put Williston's best face forward wherever the bus goes.
Mr. Boardman, editor of the Williston Alumni Bulletin, produces 4 issues annually. The magazine's usefulness is evident in the strengthening of alumni ties. The Bulletin also reports statistics on the ever-growing Alumni Fund.
The Alumni Council, which met Saturday, December 13, selected a new member of the Board of Trustees. At the Alumni-Varsity Basketball Game the same day, a determined varsity five, losing until the last quarter, defeated the alumni, 67-63. Some of the boys' handiwork in the new Manual Arts room was displayed for the alumni.
Alumni Day was held June 6, with '34 and '09 celebrating their silver and gold reunions in the traditional ceremony of marching behind a bagpipe band.
Through the Alumni Fund, the Bulletin, and meetings of the Alumni Council Williston keeps close touch with her alumni.

Behind the walls of Williston there is a group of people who receive little mention, yet who are the backbone of the school. The quality of the food, the mail from home found in the post boxes, and the beauty of the campus are the results of the relentless efforts of these members of the school staff. If one needs a new lightbulb or a stamp, he goes to the custodian's room or to the office. Still these departments receive little or no acknowledgment for their tireless efforts. It is the pleasure of the Log to present the people behind the scenes, the school staff.
As a student passes through the doors of the Schoolhouse Building, his eye sees a busy secretary working desperately to print an exam on a mimeograph machine or pushing a thumbtack into a bulletin board covered with notices of interest and of coming events. Through a door the student sees a secretary confirming a flight reservation or transcribing monthly marks from a master sheet to an individual progress card. Through another he sees a letter answering an application being typed; yet the letter is not a business form, but a friendly message and begins, "Dear Bob." Over a Dutch door the student perceives a well-lighted room containing a massive safe, several filing cases, and a desk holding a ledger and a stack of receipts, behind which sits a young lady meticulously balancing a column of figures. From all sides doorways disclose the movements of secretaries engaged in their chores.
Directly before the student stand two hundred and fifty mailboxes where twice daily comes the welcomed note from the folks, the letter from the girl back home, or a newspaper describing the worldly events of the day. Stopping at the door the student receives his allowance and chats with the telephone operator as he casually glances at the dining room chart to discover his table position and, even more, the days in which he must wait on table in the forthcoming two weeks. While he talks, a tape is placed on the automatic typewriter which taps out a cordial invitation from the headmaster to parents for a parent-teacher tea next month.
In good humor from this conversation the student drops down a flight of stairs, buys a soft drink from the snack bar, and sits down at a table with several classmates to view,"American Bandstand," on the television screen in the corner. Minutes pass, a dance ends, the set goes off and a voice from behind the snack bar says,"That's all for today boys." As the student files through the door, he remembers that tomorrow he must visit the secretary at the bookstore to get a new literature book for English as well as that blue and gold scarf for Suzie.
When common sense and normal precautions fail, the health of the students at Williston is entrusted to three people. Doctor Donais, Mrs. Vernon, and Mrs. Parker comprise the infirmary staff. From the moment a student enters the waiting room, he finds an atmosphere of friendliness and healthfulness. Many times a word of confidence or "pink pill" satisfies the threats of a cold; but, when illness attacks, a few days' confinement with the careful attention of our nurses sends a student back to the grind in good health.
Rest is the primary word in the infirmary followed by the slogan, "Early to bed and late to rise," which is supplemented by afternoon naps. The nurses check temperature and health before each meal, and Dr. Donais makes daily examinations. The nurses give orange juice and hot tea with cookies if the patient is able to consume them. A student carries meals in containers from the kitchen, and the breakfast tray in bed is a wonderful sight to the patient. The nurses deliver mail as well as assignments, and many times a test can be taken in the infirmary. Thus while resting and combatting illness in the infirmary, the patient does not fall behind in his schoolwork.
A heaping plate of scrambled eggs, a steaming bowl of clam chowder, a platter of succulent roast beef — these are the results of the diligence of the kitchen staff. From the early morning hours 'til the moon shines in the sky, the lights in the kitchen blaze brightly. Only for an hour in the afternoon can the workers take a break after the noon meal before the evening meal, and on Wednesdays and Saturdays this interlude is cut short with the preparations of a tea for the visiting teams.
The kitchen staff is divided into three sections. The foremost of these is under the direction of the chef and deals with food ordering and preparation. It is also the duty of the chef to see that each item is prepared on time and that nothing stops the meal from being an enjoyable one. The second section is the dessert section, for, although pies, cakes, and puddings are baked in this department, one finds also ice cream and assorted fruits. The A last section, but not the least essential, is the cleaning department. The members of this department are the last to leave in the evening, for they are the ones who wash the serving dishes, pots and pans, and scrub and polish the kitchen. To the sections of the kitchen department goes all the credit for the meals the students eat.

When guests visit Williston, they comment on the beauty and cleanliness of the grounds, and in this praise the school takes great pride.
In the autumn the leaves change color and the campus displays its greatest beauty. Even
Custodian of Science Building
the ivy on the buildings puts on a fall robe. But when the leaves fall, they do not clutter the walks, for the grounds crew is omnipresent raking and toting the leaves away.
The winter spreads a white cover over all the land, but a few days previously the grounds crew has prepared the boards for the hockey rink, has set up the winter board track, and has converted the lawn mowers to snow plows and blowers. At dawn when the snow covers the campus, the early riser hears the motors as the grounds crew plows the snow off the walks.
Springtime is the season for flowers and the grounds crew spends hours weeding and cultivating the plants, instilling new life on the campus. At the same time the new clay is spread on the tennis courts and the cinders are rolled on the track. Summer brings the mowing of the lawns and new paint to the campus buildings. In all seasons the weather may change, but the beauty of the grounds remains.
In the steady toil of college preparation, the seniors find time for the construction company at the fall buck party.
— There are many schools in New England with similar traditions; and for many years they have been graduating classes of boys who go thence into colleges, or business or professional life.

During the senior year the many hours of research and study in exam preparation take their toll as the students find relaxation in a good book, a short snooze, or a casual card game. In these several minutes the thoughts of college acceptance and the forthcoming baseball game are forgotten.

The Log, the school yearbook, has completed another successful year. Under the guidance of Mr. David Stevens, this group was able to make what they considered an example of excellent workmanship. Much of the credit for this edition must go to Nelson Clayton, the Editorin-Chief. Nelson was unique in that he met his deadlines on time, a very rare occurrence for a publication head. The Editor was able to spend more of his time on the supervising of the book by dividing the work among three staff editors. This innovation was responsible for much of the improvement of this Log over that of past
years. Those boys helping Nelson were Mike Marcus, Dan Solin, and Henry Gwiazda, the staff editors, and Peter Piazza, Gil Knier, and Tom Korson.
The Log was represented by Mr. Stevens and several of the staff at the 18th Annual Conference of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association held in October at Columbia University. Those attending learned many steps on how to plan and produce a yearbook of admirable quality.
The boys who worked on the Log hope that the reader enjoys reading it as much as they enjoyed making this book possible.

This year The Willistonian, having realized the definite establishment of its larger biweekly format, worked toward the overall perfecting of its editorial policy and staff training. The Senior Staff, through its Editor-in-Chief, Richard Potsubay, set as its goal a smoothrunning, efficient organization: meeting of deadlines for reporters, editors, and photographers, and better writing, particularly in the matter of a more creative approach to feature articles on the Editorial Page. Several new features were inaugurated: notably, "The Old Elm Tree .", a column of items selected from Willistonian back issues of 25, 50, and 75 years ago; "World Outlook", an international political analysis column; and "Items Elsewhere", a column of news items garnered from school newspapers exchanged with the Willistonian.
Perhaps the most significant accomplishment of this year's staff was the institution of an underclass training program for future editors under the leadership of Henry Hacker, Associate News Editor, and Robert Varnum, Asso-
ciate Feature Editor. Selected boys from the Junior, Lower Middler, Middler, and Upper Middler classes, 30 in all, met weekly during the winter term in an organized program devoted to training in reporting, editing, page lay-out and headline writing. From this nucleus will come the future senior Editorial Staffs of the Willistonian, trained in the best available manner for responsible schoolboy journalism.
Other specific changes instituted this year were special feature issues (six pages in length) on the New Science Building and the Fine Arts Program. Editorials concerned with significant national and world events, such as the Supreme Court Desegregation decision and Boris Pasternak's Nobel Prize award,also helped to heighten Williston students' awareness of the world around them.
Under the continued sympathetic advisership of Mr. William A. Maillet it is hoped that the advances secured this year will result in the achievement of the newest goal of the paper, weekly publication for 1959-1960.
Circulation Department in action in new publications room.
The Williston Academy Literary Society, under adviser Richard Henchey and President Peter Piazza, annually publishes The Scribe, a magazine filled with the top literary contributions of the year.
Throughout the year, the Williston students are required to write English free compositions and book report compositions. Much imagination and many hours go into these compositions, yet the only recognition the students receive is found in the red marks on the margin. Therefore it is the duty of the Literary Club to select from a group of essays submitted by English teachers the top compositions, short stories, and poems. The selection of top-notch material and
the placement of this material in The Scribe to produce the best effect is a long, drawn-out process, and this year Mr. Ethan Stanley became an additional adviser to fill in this capacity. Mr. James Gardner aided also by designing the cover and hallmark.
This year The Scribe contained more poetry and several book reviews. Mr. Henchey set the club's pace by offering many useful suggestions and urging students not only to contribute school compositions, but also to devote spare time to writing specific articles for the publication. The club planned to enter some of its poems in a national poetry contest.
The Press Club, an organization founded to encourage good journalism, to write feature stories, and to report the sports results to local and metropolitan newspapers, has finished its second year under the guidance of Mr. William Lauman.
In the fall, the club sent three delegates to the Loomis School to form a Press Club League. The League's purpose is to facilitate cooperation among schools in reporting sports and to seek expanded publicity in national magazines.
The executive staff was reorganized and a constitution made at the end of the fall term. The club was split up into two groups, the news department under Richard Salwen and the Sports department under Henry Gwiazda.
As an added responsibility, the news department assumed the load of Williston's publicity.
In the fall term, to encourage interest in journalism, the club visited WHYN, a radio and television station in Springfield, to the Westover Air Force Base to view their public relations department and their military maneuvers, and to the neighboring Northampton Gazette.
Under the leadership of president Robert Stilson and with the enthusiastic interest of the members, The Press Club has taken a huge stride forward in promoting public relations at Williston. The club also adopted a system which builds writers for future stories and holds the interest of the members. In the winter term, the club stressed feature stories covering personalities and the Academy's history.
The sports department was always active after the games on Wednesday and Saturday with students phoning the results to metropolitan newspapers and writing articles for the local newspapers.
During the past school year, The Williston Glee Club sang three concerts beginning with the Annual Christmas Concert with Northampton School for Girls. Under the direction of Mr. Henry Teller and accompanied by Mrs. Natalie Strong, the group sang four numbers which included The Twelve Days of Christmas and Break Forth, 0 Beauteous Heavenly Light.
The club's second appearance was at the Southampton Congregational Church on February 28. There the club's repertoire included Gaudeamus Igitur and Shenandoah. Refreshments served by the church followed the concert.
The largest concert of the year was the Annual Preparatory Schools Glee Club Festival at Northfield School for Girls. The concert began with the entire assembly singing Prayer of Thanksgiving and Lo, A Voice to Heaven Sounding. Next the Williston Glee Club sang Wait for the Wagon and Ride the Chariot. Probably the most impressive number of the
festival was Gloria in Excelsis from "the Twelfth Mass," the concluding number sung by all six schools.
The high-light of the year came in the spring term when the club jointly with Northampton School presented Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore. The two schools present operettas such as this one every other year. This musical was held in the new H.G.Boardman Auditorium on May 14-15, the final performance being on Parents Day.
The Glee Club is one of the best extracurricular activities available at Williston, for it develops a skill which can be utilized after leaving school. The aims of the club are to encourage choral singing and to acquaint the members with choral literature.
This year the club's officers were Walter Fraze, President; Roland McEldowney, VicePresident; Fred Allardyce and Brian Studwell, managers.
This year's Double Quartet was again one of the outstanding school extra-curricular activities. The Double Quartet is chosen directly from the Glee Club with the emphasis placed on a boy's ability to read music well, his interest, and, mostly, his blending qualities. The group is not eight soloists, but rather a closely knit organization of eight harmonizing voices. The Quartet this year consisted of six seniors and three underclassmen. They are as follows: first tenors, Jon Swenson and Dick Stewart; second tenors, Dick Dann and Robert Farnum; first basses, Jim Bailey and Fred Bakunin; second basses, John Curtiss and Brian Studwell. The piano accompanist was Fred Allardyce,also a first bass in the group when he was not accompanying.
In the Christmas Concert the Double Quartet joined the Northampton School for Girls Music Club to sing A Ceremony of Carols by Benjamin Britten. The ceremony incorporated the
harmonies and pronunciation of "olde" English. Earlier in December, the Quartet gave its first performance December 9 for the Northampton Public School Teachers' Association annual dinner at the Williams House in Williamsburg, Mass. The concert was recorded and played on Christmas afternoon over the local radio station.
In the winter term the quartet sang for the annual Easthampton Mothers Club's dinner February 17. Traveling down to Southampton the following week, the group sang in the annual concert in the Congregational Church February 27. The selections were Skip to My Lou, Passing By, Sippin' Cider, Lil Liza Jane, Ritch Ratch, and several selections from The Songs of Yale songbook. In the following week the group sang for a Y-Cabinet dance.
The spring term was rather inactive because of the Operetta activities, but the Double Quartet did sing for the Prom April 25.

The Williston Dramatic Club completed another year under the auspices of Messrs. Boardman and Baker.
The main production put on by this group was "Idiot's Delight" by Robert Sherwood. It was the story of an American showman leading a troupe of chorus girls through Europe and their association with various characters in a hotel in Italy where they are confined because of the outbreak of World War II. Holding the main parts were Jonathan Fitts playing the role of Harry Van, the wisecracking romantic; Brian Studwell as Donald, the suave and cynical "social manager" of the Alpine resort; Pete Cressy as the martially-correct Captain Locicero; Gil Knier, who acted the part of Dr. Waldersee, a German cancer scientist; Nate Garner as Pitaluga, the bouncy hotel manager; and Herbert Schofield, who was the simple Dumpsty, a soldier-waiter. Extensive praise should also be given to Mr. Baker, who took over the important role of Quillery, a French fanatic, at the last moment and performed in true Broadway style. This production, which was presented in February, was held in cooperation with the Mask and Wig, the Northampton School for Girls dramatic club.
After the final performance of the play in the auditorium bearing his name, Mr. Boardman was presented with a plaque commemorating his many years of leadership in this group. He announced at this time his retirement from the Williston stage. Although he will be sorely missed, Mr. Boardman has left the very able Mr. Baker in charge.
The Dramatic Club produced a series of one-act plays in May. These presentations marked the close of another successful year by this group.

This year, as a result of new facilities, the Dramatic Society has instituted an entirely new department — the Theater Workshop, under the direction of Mr. Baker. The intent of the Workshop program is to give boys an appreciation for the theater by experience in all its phases.
By this program, boys built the sets for Idiot's Delight and H.M.S. Pinafore, and learned useful skills in acting and directing classes. The headquarters of the Workshop is in the lower level of the Science Building.
One of the most important organizations at Williston is the Student Council. The members of the group, elected annually by their classmates, are chosen for their ability in handling responsibility, maintaining a sincere student relationship, and promoting student interest in the school. The council this year has done its part to keep up the morale of the school.
No organization in the school is more respected for its authority than this group. The members have the prerogative to use disciplinary action against a boy if it becomes necessary. In the houses and dormitories the council member works with a group of boys. The Student Counselor aids each boy in a friendly, personal manner. It is also the council member's duty to give a grouping to each one of the boys of whom he is in charge. This grouping is based on school citizenship and dormitory cooperation.
Aside from these traditional duties of the council, this year's members were given a great many new duties. This organizatio now has been given complete charge of the library during st hours, and each member has been made a Trustee of the C dr Trifigt lit `VI,/iliutton cabemy.
The Student Council, advised by the Headmaster, was led t year by PrUent Dick Neubert, Richard Palmer as Vice-Presiden David Raymond as Secretary, and Charles DeRose as Treasurer.

This year the membership of the Science Club increased greatly over that of past years. The added number of boys afforded the opportunity to enlarge the activities of the club. President Robert Uiterwyk was active in helping the members on their science projects. Many chances to broaden one's knowledge were presented to the club.
At the start of the year, a technical sergeant of the Massachusetts State Police presented a lecture on criminological photography. Later
on, Dr. Ralph Phillips, adviser to the Science Club, read a paper on the importance of science in modern civilization. Many movies of interest were shown, among which was the history of the telephone in the United States, and the story of the steel industry. The boys also had the opportunity to see the application of scientific principles in modern flying at the Westover Air Force Base. Next year, the club hopes to continue to increase the knowledge and interest of Williston boys in science.
After an abbreviated season last year, the Adelphi-Gamma Sigma returned to a Lill schedule of debating activity. This year much more of the club's time was occupied in intra-mural debates. Under the direction of Messrs.Henchey, Lawton, and Thomas, the members of the Adelphi discussed the pro's and con's of many varied subjects. Among the more active debaters in this program were Peter Cressy,Skip Gwiazda, Nelson Collamer, Bill Bailey, Antony Lorraine, Bob Stilson, and President Bob Ulm.
As in every year, the Adelphi, Williston's oldest extra-curricular activity, concentrated heavily on the national collegiate topic. The topic was "Resolved: That the further development of nuclear weapons should be prohibited by international agreement." Included on the list of contests for the spring term were debates with the University of Massachusetts and Mt. Hermon School and the Triangular Debate with Williston, Mt. Hermon, and Deerfield participating.
The Honor Committee is composed of eleven boys from the three upper classes, under chairman Jeff Purdy, a member experienced by two years on the committee. The purpose of the committee is to strengthen academic, social, and moral honesty in the school. This committee upholds the honor code of the school and works without supervision from the faculty or the Headmaster.
When the committee learns of a boy's wrongdoings, they bring him into a conference. He is then confronted with the fact that colleges will
not look at him favorably if he continues his ways. The confidential aid and advice which this group gives help him to straighten out. The committee maintains the standard that a second offender of the code is to be recommended for immediate expulsion.
The fact that the committee has had very few boys brought before it this year indicates the respect that the student body has for the honor code. The Honor Committee of past years has done an excellent job in making Williston's reputation outstanding among colleges and has served the school well.
The "Y" Cabinet has assumed a very important and beneficial role in Williston daily life. Founded as a religious group, it remains steadfastly devoted to its original purpose. In keeping with school tradition, however, this group has also sought to augment its scope of activity. The Cabinet is now dedicated to promoting both school and community welfare.
In order to further the religious aspect of the Y Cabinet, the members have conducted the Thursday evening chapel services. At this time, the boys either speak on a topic concerning religion or discuss articles of literary importance.
In striving to clarify and unveil the many problems, beliefs, and questions concerning re-
ligion, the Cabinet sponsors an annual delegation to the Northfield Religious Conference.
To acquaint all new boys with the athletic and extra-curricular programs, the organization sponsored the Y Cabinet reception. The Y Cabinet also directed the operation of the annual Buck Party, at which students, old and new, engage in skits and take-offs. It has also sponsored dances and social gatherings each term. Another important function has been the sponsorship of magazine drives. The magazines are donated to neighboring veterans' and childrens' hospitals.
With the funds from this year's activities, the Y Cabinet sponsored the Williston Scholarship, which provides the tuition for a student at the American International College in Beirut, Lebanon.
The Y Cabinet, led by President Chip Palmer and Mr. Carpenter, faculty adviser, has made many significant contributions to school and community welfare. The members have earned a hearty word of praise for their determined and efficient service.
The Photography Club is primarily a service organization. It provides the photography staff for the Log and the Willistonian. The Club's function is to stimulate interest in photography and to develop the technical skill necessary for successful pictures. Under the guidance of Mr. Couch and Mr. Cleveland, the Club carries on many worthwhile activities. The highlight of the year's activities has been a course in darkroom techniques. The Club members received individual instruction in the use of the new darkroom located in the Science Building. The Club has also sponsored photography contests, encouraging its members to use their creative abilities in producing interesting pictures. The Club's meetings have been made more informative through lectures by professional photographers and the presentation of instructive motion pictures.
This year's Photography Club will leave many capable amateurs to fill next year's demands for pictures.
The Radio Club is an organization made up of boys interested in electronics and, specifically, in amateur radio as a hobby. The Club makes available to those of its members who hold licenses a complete amateur radio station. The equipment available to the Club consists of a 500-watt army surplus shortwave transmitter and a Hammarlund HQ-700 receiver. This equipment is used primarily on the 80- and 40meter amateur bands. With this station, boys have made radio contacts with stations in several neighboring states, such as Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Ohio.
In addition to the shortwave transmitter and receiver, the Radio Club makes available a tapesending machine for use in learning and in practicing the Morse Code, in preparation for the Federal Communications Commission license examination, which all prospective amateur radio operators must pass.
At present,there are only six licensed amateur radio operators in school. In addition to these, there are a number of Radio Club members who are in the process of obtaining their licenses or of graduating from the novice class license. The novice class license is primarily designed for beginners. The Club hopes that many more boys will join its ranks next year.
The Chess Club, with Mr. Thorner as adviser and Ed Bertozzi as president, continued to provide instruction, equipment, and comradeship for all boys interested in playing chess. To a large degree, the chess club was success-ful in that there was a large increase in membership over the previous year. The Club corresponded with Chess Clubs in other schools and in this way maintained contacts for future tournaments. Although the Club competes actively in tournaments, its main attraction has always been the relaxation and enjoyment which
chess offers. In this game the player's mind concentrates entirely upon the board, uninfluenced by outside forces. The instruction and improvement of beginners in the strategy and tactics of chess are accomplished by matching the weaker players with the stronger players, who offer their opponents suggestions for better moves. By giving the young players experience and practical tips, the Chess Club hopes to develop a strong team in order that Williston can continue to compete in the chess tournaments to come.

The Williston Band has enjoyed a rather unique season this year. Despite the small number of musicians available, the band has made many advancements towards building a strong, well-organized group. Under the leadership of Mr. John Goss, the band met as a body twice a week, while sectional rehearsals were given at other times. Students with more experience helped the novices to improve technique and skill. Much of the success of the band can be directly attributed to boys with above-average
skill and experience like Rick Roever, Roy Weiner, and Philip Wilder.
The band supported the Gold Key in building school spirit at athletic meets and added cheer at rallies. One segment of the band formed a brass quartet which accompanied the Glee Club at the Christmas Concert and provided music in Sunday Chapel. The organization will continue to provide the school with diversified music throughout the following years and will expand in membership.

With the revival of the America's Cup races between the United States and Great Britain last fall, the interest in the Sailing Club at Williston has greatly increased. Under the leadership of Mr. David Stevens, greatly aided by Mr. Peter Richmond, the club's activities have expanded tremendously.
Films were shown on events in sailing history, techniques in racing and sailing, and studies of different types of boats. The club also on occasions listened to speakers who talked about their experiences in yachting.
The Sailing Club started this year a program to teach navigation. A number of enthusiastic boys met weekly to work with the facilities of The United States Power Squadron. At the
termination of the course, the boys who passed were eligible to become apprentices in the Power Squadron.
The club, during the spring term, sponsored the Sailing Team, which competed in interscholastic racing. The team participated in the Brown Interscholastic Meet at Providence, Rhode Island, and in the Interscholastic Yacht Racing Regatta in New London, Conn.
The Sailing Club was greatly indebted to Mr. David Stevens, Mr. Peter Richmond, and the officers — David Westgate, President; Merritt Carlton, Vice-President; and David Tower, Secretary-Treasurer — for their great effort in making this year's club the finest in many years.
The Outing Club is designed for boys who like to get away from academic work and spend some time in the woods of Southampton. Under the direction of Mr. Buell and Mr. Cleveland, assisted by Paul Baker and Ben Haller, the club had an enjoyable season.
During the trips, the members improved various parts of the school cabin. A brook which runs a short distance from the cabin was also stocked with a number of trout.
Throughout the year the Senior Class visited the school cabin for picnics and in outing groups.
The Gold Key, the school equivalent of a high school cheerleading squad, has as its primary purpose the function of instilling school .spirit into the student body. Headed by Sandy Fraze, the Key was successful in its purpose. The group organized pep rallies on the night previous to each home game, highlighted by the festivities before the Suffield game. Giving support to Sandy and Steve Hatch were Tom Hamilton, Brian Studwell, Nate Garner, and Henry Hacker.
The Athletic Advisory Board, of which Mr. A. L. Hepworth is chairman, is composed of the coaches,captains, and managers of varsity sports. Meeting periodically throughout the year, the group reviews the recommendations of the coaches for all varsity letter awards. The Board also approves of managers- and captains-elect. In its capacity as an advisory body, the Athletic Advisory Board discusses problems which have occurred during the season and makes suggestions to the Athletic Director and the individual coaches.

The crack of the whip on the frozen pond in the winter gives way to the Annual Senior-Upper Middler Rope Pull in the spring.
— at Williston they find something of fine traditions; and they breathe in the echoes of the eternal voice of the New England hills.
The 1958 Varsity football team had an exceptional year. Their record of five victories and two defeats was the best compiled by a Williston team since 1953.
A great deal of credit is due to coaches Francis and Carpenter. Coach Francis, previously a star quarterback for Wesleyan, proved to be of exceptional coaching ability. His technical knowledge of football saved many games for the Wildcat eleven. Coach Carpenter, no stranger to Williston athletics, coached the line and instilled the team with the tremendous desire for victory that was evident in their contests.
After losing their first two games, the team seemed to find itself suddenly. The fourth game against Wilbraham was the turning point of the year. Williston, the underdog, trounced the previously undefeated Wilbraham team, 34-0. Hatch led the team by scoring three touchdowns. Wilbraham's passes were intercepted by Mack, DeLuca, and Potsubay.
This year Williston was fortunate in beginning an athletic rivalry with St. Paul's School. The Blue did not know what to expect from their opponents, who had previously played only one outside competitor in football. Coming back in the second period, behind 12-0, Williston scored on a spectacular fake kick in which Curtiss handed the ball off to Hatch, who ran 65 yards for a touchdown. After that play the St. Paul's defense was able to stop Hatch, but Curtiss continued to smash through to lead the team to a 20-12 victory.
The final game of the year against Vermont proved to be a fitting climax for an outstanding team. Bob Ebersold's 70-yard kick-off run started the team rolling. Touchdowns by Hatch, DeLuca and Gwiazda were added, and Williston went on to defeat Vermont, 30-6. This victory broke Vermont's four-year streak of wins against Williston.
The exceptional spirit of both the team and the school body was a prominent factor in the success of the team. Williston can look back with pride on the 1958-1959 varsity football season.

The Williston Academy Varsity Soccer experienced some excellent competition this year. Their record of four wins, six losses, and one tie does not begin to reveal the effort that the team put into their sport. Under the able leadership of head coach Wilmot Babcock, assisted by Col. Roberson and Ethan Stanley, the team gained a great deal of knowledge and experience. Col. Roberson and Mr. Stanley were new to the Varsity staff. The team benefited a great deal from their diligent efforts.

Donais, Ted Wiehe, and Tony Lorraine were the outstanding participants. Motivated by Raymond and Bert Abbey, the team was victorious in their opening game against Monson. Their chief trouble in the following contests was mainly a lack of experience. New boys Diehl, Lorraine, and Don Raymond came along exceptionally well after the first few games.
The persistency and excellent spirit of the squad was evident throughout let defeat dis- the year. They never courage them and they always bounced back with renewed vigor. Evidence of their perseverance was their victory against a powerful Wilbraham team. Williston's Chermsirivatana scored the only goal to lead Williston to a 1 -0 conquest.
Other exceptional players were Gorham, Thorpe, Garrity, Cipriano and Gordon. Their power was an essential part of the Wildcat's offensive game. The number of underclassmen on this year's team is an indication of the caliber of future soccer squads.
The Williston team showed the type of spirit and sportsmanship that well overshadowed their moderate record. Coaches Babcock,Roberson,and Stanley can be justifiably proud of their team.

The Williston Varsity Basketball Team made its 1958-1959 season an outstanding one by compiling a record of 11 wins and 4 losses for an average of .733. The secret of the team's success lay in its balance. This was a team without a truly great player, but with several outstanding players who functioned with a great amount of teamwork. The team's trademark was its offensive balance. The remarkable shooting of Don Raymond and Bob Ebersold, the accurate medium-range shooting of Dave DeLuca and Dick Lynch, and the sure inside shooting and rebounding of Captain Charlie DeRose and John Schumacher comprised a scoring threat which could not be restrained. This multiple offense, supplemented by a tenacious, ball-hawking defense, was the most important factor in the team's success.

This year, Williston had one of the finest ski teams since the commencement of this sport here. Because there was so little snow, the team did not get enough practice to have a good record. In spite of this fact, the spirit of the team was revealed by their perseverance and efforts. Though the scheduled opponents were good, the weather was bad, and it was only possible to have two meets because of snow conditions. Whenever there was snow, an energetic ski team packed the slopes and optimistically hoped for more snow. Although their hopes of getting varsity letters were disappointed, the members will present a good team next year, for many of the team's top men will return. We look forward to a better snow season next year in order to encourage the team. The skiiers

who would have won letters had they had more meets were Antony Lorraine, Frank Williams, Sydney Williams, Michael Iselin, James Aaron, Lee Hawkes, and Richard Shields.
Lorraine kept a steady third place throughout the time trials and meets. The Williams brothers battled it out with him and usually took second and fourth places. Shields kept a steady first in the time trials, but when it came to meets he had some bad luck; in the first he missed a gate in the slalom, and he was ill at the time of the second meet. Iselin came up to replace him to place first in the two meets. Mr. David Stevens and Mr. Ellis Baker with the aid of manager Dave Torrey deserve credit for the fine job of coaching and much work they contributed to the team.
This year, the Williston Academy Varsity Swimming Team showed a great deal of spirit, but their lack of depth proved to be too much of a deficit.
After losing to the University of Conn. in the first meet, the team came back to tie the Trinity College Freshmen. Unfortunately, our lack of depth began to show when we lost to Hotchkiss, Brown Freshmen, Deerfield, Yale, and Andover; all of whom had very strong teams. Despite these losses, the Williston team revealed a tremendous capacity for hard work and a great desire to excel.
Co-captains Dave Raymond and Chip Palmer, along with Bob Garrity and Paul Baker, led the team. Raymond, Williston's most outstanding swimmer, competed successfully in the 220-yard freestyle, the 150-yard individual medley, and the backstroke. Palmer, one of the team's most diligent workers, constantly lowered his time in the butterfly. Bob Garrity, an outstanding diver, lost only to the Yale Freshman diver. Baker, a fine backstroker, highlighted his season with a second in the Trinity Interscholastics. Andy
Solomon, Jim Dobbins, Steve Hatch, Jim Hamilton, Carl Farrington, and Hank Cheatham supplemented the team.
The Trinity Interscholastics clearly revealed the fine spirit of the team. Palmer and Bailey both turned in outstanding times in the butterfly. Bob Garrity captured the coveted diving honors, and the relay team of Baker, Cheatham, Palmer, and Dobbins took second place. However, one of the most outstanding events held was the backstroke. After Raymond had finished a swim-off to become a finalist and also after he had taken a third in the 150-yard medley, he competed in the backstroke event. Through the efforts of a magnificent last minute spurt, Raymond managed to cop a first place. In that same event Paul Baker took a well-earned second place, defeating Vitez of Mount Hermon and Stevens of Deerfield.
Coach Babcock instilled in his boys the desire to win tempered with the ability to lose. What the team lacked in ability they made up in spirit and determination.

The 1959 winter track team, under the able supervision of Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Culver and Mr. Putnam, did not enjoy a winning season; but the season was a tremendously enlightening one. The stiff competition provided by the Quadrangulars and the Deerfield team was an extremely difficult test.
The highlight of the winter track season was the Quadrangular meet at the University of Massachusetts. In the meet Deerfield took first place with Williston coming in second. Wilbraham and Worcester were third and fourth respectively. Hank Hatch, doing his usual fine job, shattered three records at this meet. He broke his existing records in the high and low hurdles and set a new record in the threehundred yard run.
In the Deerfield meet, Deerfield took first place. However, despite the two losses to Deerfield, the winter track team shows great promise for the spring. John Schumacher, Dave Killebrew, and Pete Hertner are expected to turn in excellent performances in the spring as are Olney White and Al Shaw.
In the high jump Pete Piazza and Dave Killebrew should provide many points.
The winter track team serves mainly as a training period for the spring track team. Judging from performances of the members of the winter track squad, the outlook for the spring track team is excellent.

The 1959 Varsity Hockey team, under the guidance of Mr. Dan Carpenter, completed a highly successful 1959 season. The success of the team was mainly through the efforts of Coach Carpenter. Considering the fact that the team faced adverse weather conditions for the greater part of the season, their performance was excellent.
Newcomer George Benz from St. Paul, Minnesota, greatly sparked the team. His steady game-by-game attack was the greatest contributing factor to the team's success. His performance in the Westminster game was excellent.
Captain Steve Smith's faithful work in the goal also was a great aid to the success of the team. His goal-tending in the Westminster, Holyoke, Cranwell, and Suffield games, allowing only one goal to pass him in each game, was superb.
John Curtiss played stellar defense throughout the season. He gave good protection to goalie Smith in every game.
Since many underclassmen went on the varsity team this year, Coach Carpenter should have much potential for the future hockey teams. Leading this group are Lower Middler

changes and some enthusiastic newcomers as a basis, future wrestling teams will be strong.
The exceptional fact about the team was that out of a final eighteen-member squad, nine were beginners, though now somewhat experienced. Bucky Carroll began wrestling in the one-hundred-fifteen-pound class and compiled an excellent six-and-one record. Dick Benoit, a newcomer, had a five-and-two season. Bill Hamilton and Brian Shick, both beginners, wrestled first string every meet.
Carroll gives example of wrestling skill which he will have three more years to develop.
The wrestling team saw many changes this season. First, wrestling was made a letter sport, and as a result, the response was so great that a Junior Varsity squad was formed. Mr. Buell coached both squads. He produced two successful teams despite the fact that more than half the squad began wrestling this year. With these
Eight of the varsity returned from last year. Captain Red Lombard, who was a beginner last season, had an undefeated season. Charlie Benoit had a two-and-four season. Jim Huber and Jim Mack each won five and lost two. Bob Stilson and Harris each won three matches. John Dommers and Brooks both wrestled first string.
Five first-stringers will graduate this year. Many of the returning members have three or four years left.
Next year, with more experience, Williston wrestling will probably win more than its share of matches. This year, the team won two matches and lost five. However, we wrestled schools that have more boys and more experience.
In the future, Williston will have a powerful wrestling squad with the young wrestlers from this year as a basis. Coach Buell, after a superb beginning, looks forward to wrestling's continued success at Williston.

Playing six college teams and five preparatory school teams, the squash team, coached by Mr. Lawton and Mr. Stanley, had a fine season. Their record of four wins, six losses, and one tie does not indicate the effort that was characteristic of the team.
Captain John Harper led the team. His spirit and drive were indicative of the type of leadership that he gave to the team. Other outstanding players were Jeff Gorham, Frank Balanda, Tom Korson, and Dave Westgate.
The highlight of the season was Williston's match against the University of Connecticut Varsity. This event marked our first competition with the University. The match proved to be a
most exciting one. The outcome was a heartbreaking 3 to 2 defeat for the Wildcats.
Williston's team consisted of a heartening number of undergraduates. Newcomers Chris Lowell, Hank Hacker, and Art Kaiser strongly supplemented this year's squad and will be the nucleus of future teams.
The addition of Mr. Ethan Stanley II as the assistant coach proved to be a tremendous asset to the team. Mr. Lawton, veteran squash coach, did his usual stellar job this year.
With the excellent experience gained this year, the squash team can confidently look forward to other successful seasons in the near future.
The 1959 Varsity baseball team, coached by Mr. Daniel Carpenter, Mr. Richard Francis, and Mr. Phillips Stevens, hopes to improve its 6-7 record of 1958. Although the team has started slowly, Mr. Carpenter believes that the team will become stronger as the season progresses.
Leading the pitching staff are "Red" Lombard, Don Raymond, Steve Smith, and Bert Abbey. The team will count heavily on the hitting of Bob Ebersold, Dave Raymond, Steve Smith, and Dick Potsubay. Among the newcomers whom Mr. Carpenter is counting upon are Don Raymond, Dick Lynch, and Dave Thorne. Raymond is a strong right-handed pitcher who also wields a big bat., Sparkplug of the team is captain Dave Raymond. An all-around athlete, Raymond will be counted upon to share a large part of the burden of strong competition.
The key to the success of this year's team lies in the performances of the seven returning lettermen. With their aid, Coaches Carpenter, Francis, and Stevens can look forward to a successful season.
The Williston tennis team, with four varsity men returning, can look forward to a strong year. John Harper, Dan Solin, and Jeff Gorham form the core of the team. Hank Donais, Chris Lowell, and Hank Hacker round out a powerful squad.
The team opened the season with an impressive 6-2 victory over Avon. A crushing 9-0 defeat at the hands of a powerful Deerfield team did not dampen the squad's spirit. They bounced back with a well-earned 5-4 victory over Westminster. The team has twelve matches left to play.
John Harper, captain and number one man on the team, has been the high man this year. Against Westminster he defeated their powerful first man by the score of 6-2, 6-3.
With the capable coaching of Mr. Hepworth, the tennis team can look forward to a truly exceptional season.
Led by co-captains Hank Hatch and Roland McEldowney, the varsity track team is headed for a very successful season. With nine lettermen returning and with many of this season's trackmen conditioned by participation in winter track, the squad boasts both depth and balance.
Dave Killebrew and Peter Hertner lead the distance men while Al Shaw and John Schumacher excel in the 440. The dash events are performed by Skip Gwiazda and Olney White.
Having set three records in winter track, Hank Hatch appears set for a record-smashing season in the high and low hurdles and in the broad jump.
Charles DeRose is the outstanding weight man, and John Curtiss is the outstanding performer in the javelin and in the pole vault.
Coaches Cleveland,Putnam,Brown,and Highley are confident of a successful season. Their hopes were substantiated by the results of the Kennedy meet, which was held a week prior to the opener with Mount Hermon.
With a 1-1 record against tough competition for the first two games of the 1959 season, the lacrosse team's chances for a successful season seem to be good. Co-captains Charlie Benoit and Paul Baker have been doing a good job in organizing the inexperienced team into a well-functioning unit.
This year's squad, composed of a strong defense and a potentially powerful offense, should do well in competition. The team is fortunate in that they have fine goalies in Steve Hatch and Bob Farnum.
Last year's team finished second in the B division. Coach George Buell is hopeful of a first-place team this year.
The 1959 sailing team, coached by Mr. David Stevens, has started off its season by winning both of the races sailed. The outlook for the team is very hopeful, as there are four of last year's skippers back this year. The team will also benefit from several new boys who should be of great help.
The crew is led by captain Dave Tower, veteran skipper, who was a standout member of last year's group. Besides Tower, Dave Westgate and Merritt Carlton are expected to excel. Larry Woodworth rounds out a formidable sailing team.
Coach Stevens is optimistic about the team's performance. If the first two meets are any indication, this year's squad should be, one of the finest preparatory school sailing teams in this area.
The golf team, coached by Mr. Babcock and Col. Roberson is looking forward to another good season. Although weakened by the loss of most of last year's team, the golfers still have a formidable unit.
Heading the team are co-captains Bob Varnum and Jim Borck. They are the only returning lettermen, and coaches Babcock and Roberson will be expecting a great deal from them. Tom Gordon, Andy Campagna, Dick Shields, Nate Garner, and Gil Knier round out the team.
The schedule for this year includes several new opponents, namely the University of Massachusetts, Worcester Academy, and Kingswood.
With favorable weather conditions, the golf team should have a very successful season.

"Friends,
In any academic center there is an unfortunate necessity for dispute concerning the methods of examination. Williston's three-term system, different though it may be from colleges, is no less rugged. Often is heard the complaint that term examinations, held immediately before three-week vacations, not only strain the student who dreams of being turned loose but also spoil at least a third of the vacations of border-line students.
Of course, every method of preparation for these ninety-minute tests has been practiced at Williston, and for every method there has been a tangible result very instructive to the student. Some coast in their work for the term and are jolted by the exams; some coasters cram for the exam; some ascetics work methodically during the term and devise careful schedules for study during examination periods; a large number of the innately intelligent group feel little need to cram for the exams.
Dean Rouse called the Cum Laude induction ceremony in February the most important academic function of the year. Cum Laude is one result of the tests we have taken; for the lower eighty per cent of us who were not nominated for the society, examinations still were valuable aids to our understanding of both our astuteness and our obligations.

Reading of the better books, outside of those used for class work, is strongly encouraged, and nine book reports are required during the year. Composition writing, aimed at teaching the student clear expression of thoughts and ideas, is also a requirement. Various masters use several unusual methods of teaching. Mr. Lauman uses a method of etymology — the tracing of a word to its origin — to further the student's retention of vocabulary. Mr. Randall attempts to teach a student to use his own ideas by asking a question when presented with one which invariably answers the original query. Mr. Thorner, using his knowledge of psychology to explain the characterizations in the various reading done during the year, is a strong individualist in this most important department.
"Now let's get to the heart of the matter "
"Now listen as I play it again."
Several new additions have been made to the Foreign Language Departments. Greek and the fourth year of languages are the major courses added. Mr. Putnam's use of a tape recorder and special books for the German classroom generates much interest and attention in his course. Mrs. Teller, wife of the history master, as a Latin teacher for underclassmen breaks precedent as the first female faculty member in decades. Mr. Brown, heading the new Classics Department in the new building, is known for his thorough knowledge of Greek and Latin syntax and writers; he is also an excellent etymologist, having prepared a reference list of over 1000 Greek and Latin roots. Mr. Filiault has started a course in conversational French. Many other able and experienced teachers help make Williston's language teaching rank with the nation's finest.
"Yes sir, it says so on page 137."
A dollar's worth mistake, just that more steak.
In the Mathematics Department, headed by Mr. Gebhard, there is, besides the elementary courses, an advanced calculus course. In addition, Mr. Culver initiated a unique idea to insure attention in class and neatness on papers. Each student who incorrectly states a theorem on a test or quiz, chews gum, or does not hand in a neat paper, has to pay him a dime. He uses the money thus collected for a steak picnic for his classes at the end of the year. Mr. Couch and Mr. Cleveland give aid to students requiring private help.
The Science Department, headed by Dr. Phillips, is housed in the new Science Building. Dr. Phillips uses the college method of instruction with lectures, extensive laboratory work, and supplements the Chemistry textbook with his vast knowledge of particular phases of the course. Mr. Highley, teaching the new biology course, employs lectures, his original ideas, and extensive essay questions on his tests, which have gained a reputation for being difficult. Mr. Archbald, a former civil engineer, replaced Professor Everson, who resigned because of ill health, as physics master.
"Take note, angle BAC is thirty degrees: therefore . . . "
" And now for the 'minutia'
Headed by Mr. Hepworth, the History Department has several extensive courses with many interesting facets of instruction, not the least of which is the new course in Far.Eastern History, taught by Mr. Lawton. Aside from the main textbooks, the Department uses other reference books to give the student a more complete coverage of his course. Mr. Hepworth gives talks on current events every other Tuesday throughout the year. Weekly discussions of reading done by each student in either Time or Newsweek magazines take place on Fridays. Each instructor has his own way of teaching his special course. The Department Head, through class lectures and extensive quizzing on both the text and unusual and interesting "trivia," aids the student by training his mind for more complete memorization. Mr. Bradford utilizes a blackboard with world map to illustrate discussions. Mr. Buell has a novel presentation of his particular courses in a self-devised system of outlines. Mr. Teller uses extensive lecturing and a vivid presentation of the factual material. Lastly, Mr. Lawton, with his lively presentation of important facts through dramatizations, complements a wellbalanced History Department.
"But this is the best way, I think?"
With the completion of the science building, several new courses have come into being. Under the direction of Mr. Gardner, internationally renowned sculptor, is the graphic arts course. In this course a student may receive instruction in freehand and mechanical drawing, oil and water color painting, etching, sculpture, clay modeling, ceramics, and, Mr. Gardner's special project, stained glass work. Mr. Gardner also instructs those students interested in medicine, in a course in anatomy. His classes are known to be fascinating, for he puts to good use his varied store of knowledge gained from world-wide travel and his unmatchable, dry British wit.
Mr. Richmond directs the new Manual Arts course. Aside from his regular students, any boy may receive instruction in woodworking, and may use the workshop on almost any afternoon. These new courses seem to have gained much popularity among the student body, judging from the number who have enjoyed making their own useful articles.
"Like I said, academics take all my time."
When one thinks of the topic of social entertainment, the first thought is usually that of the social dances with the neighboring girls' schools. The Student Council and the Y Cabinet hold many dances throughout the year with Northampton School for Girls, Mary A. Burnham School, and MacDuffle School in Springfield.
The lower three classes, although required to go to the school motion picture shows on Saturday nights, are occasionally allowed to have a dance or to see a basketball game. The two upper classes are free to entertain themselves in a curious variety of ways.
a twist here and that's all."
The pleasantries of waiting on
"Will you please close that door!"
The school dining hall offers a variety of entertainments. Besides the food,boys have the chance to get better acquainted with each other and take turns waiting on table. Controlled by four athletic headwaiters who take attendance, and supervise the cleaning of the room, the dining room preserves its reputation for being neat and orderly. The custom of making announcements at meals, must sometimes prolong the length of luncheon and supper; nonetheless, the consequent lack of haste improves one's digestive habits.
Williston school spirit has always been highly unpredictable. A winning football team is the best spur for strong spirit and support for all teams throughout the year. Mr. Goss's band played at all home games, and included in its instruments an expertly-manned bass drum. School rallies on Friday nights before football games produced a ready supply of original gags. At sports contests Mr. Daniel Carpenter, Danny Junior, and the Y Cabinet sold refreshments for a scholarship fund. And at the close of every season came the athletic banquet, at which varsity players were awarded their letters.

The 1959 Prom was an outstanding success in all respects. Dave Raymond,chairman of the prom committee, and his assistants deserve a great deal of praise for the original theme, "Around the World in Eighty Days," and its excellent presentation. Gil Knier should be commended for his artistic contributions.
The day began with the girls' arrivals starting at two o'clock
Saturday afternoon. The rest of the afternoon was spent by most of the couples somewhere between the Dodge Room and the various athletic contests. The boys' formal dress varied from white and madras dinner jackets to formal red jackets worn by a trio of seniors. The number of very pretty girls made the choice of queen a very difficult task. Miss Sue Brownell,escorted by senior Dave Westgate won this honor.
"Now when I was a kid ..."
Pat Dorn, returning for his second appearance at a Williston prom, highlighted his familiar music with his renditions of tunes previously performed by Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, and several other orchestras of the past. Mr. Archbald forgot his physics long enough to present an exhibition of the Charleston with his pretty wife. The end of a very enjoyable day came at 12:15 with Mr. A. L. Hepworth's order to "cease this activity."
"I think they're a cute couple."
"Dancing a bit close, aren't they?"
"I hope they don't want more!"
"I wonder if I have to set the table, too?"
