WILLISTON ACADEMY
EASTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS
THE GYMNASIUM
As the school year draws to a close, the members of the Senior Class complete a phase of life to which they will never return. Many things are destined for their futures, but prep school days are a thing of the past. How different these boys are now from the day when they first entered the sphere of Williston life. Boys have grown into men and developed under the influence of the school, each in his own way — each taking from the opportunities offered what he best saw fit for his life and the future. No matter what the result, the years at Williston have left an indelible mark on each boy.
In years to come, each Senior may look back at the brief time spent at Williston and recall many fond memories, both insignificant and momentous: memories of days filled with feverish activity before the big football game or before exams; routine days with only classes, sports, and study; days quiet and peaceful in the warmth of spring.
During the course of a student's education at Williston, there are many incidents that highlight his youth and shape his future. Though each Senior can recall the gripes that he had, this is a happy time — a time of preparation and learning with promise ahead.
Williston is an old New England school steeped in traditions accumulated over the span of a century and a quarter; but there is always a firm foot forward toward progress and growth. The school is continually changing to provide the best for its students; however, when an old boy returns, he still feels the same atmosphere that existed when he was a student.
The school has an extensive program to provide every boy with a well-rounded education that will serve as a firm foundation throughout his life. A rigid academic curriculum challenges the mind. The entire student body has an excellent sports program every season; and finally, the extracurricular opportunities are farreaching enough to satisfy the most diverse interests. This is the bare framework of the Williston we know — the Williston many boys have come to know and love.
This is the Williston we of the Senior Class and we of The Log staff wish to portray, for we feel that our education here is a distinctive thing that will always remain with us. Thus, for our theme we have chosen The Williston Education. We wish to show the large and small things that we will always remember about the school — the things that have shaped our lives. We give you The Williston Education.
Mr. Dale Lash is an administrator and educator who combines a genius for efficiency with a sincere devotion and interest for the individual. He has devoted his entire life to boys and to education and has spent the last two decades working with innumerable Williston students, who have long remembered his cheery greeting and kind smile.
Mr. Lash has always had a full and active schedule at Williston, both in teaching and in coaching. On countless days after his morning Biology classes, Mr. Lash has spent the remainder of his time coaching boys in the fine points of athletics, whether it be in football, basketball, or baseball. To his credit stand several of the finest athletic teams Williston has ever produced. Outstanding especially are the following squads: the 1945 basketball team with a 14-0 record, termed "the greatest basketball team in Williston history," and the 1948 basketball team with a 13-1 record; the 1948 football team with a 5-0-1 record, the only undefeated football team in the last sixty-five years, and the 1954 football team with a fine 5-1 record.
When Mr. Lash became Director of Athletics several years after he came to Williston, his already many responsibilities doubled as the operation of the entire sports program came under his
authority. To schedule hundreds of games a year for as many as twenty-five teams, to arrange transportation for teams, to engage game officials, and finally to supervise all home-game activities — all these duties fell into Mr. Lash's busy schedule; and the more that he developed the tangible and intangible elements of sports and sportsmanship at Williston, the more he became an indispensable figure on the campus.
Never too busy, however, to stop a moment and chat with a boy, Mr. Lash has always been willing to assist and advise the students. His natural sincerity and abounding friendliness have won him universal respect and popularity. Many a graduate long remembers his quiet, gentlemanly manner in even the most trying circumstances. Always a good sportsman in defeat as well as victory, Mr. Lash has never complained or alibied about an athletic contest with which he has been associated. He is a man who lives what he believes and will always defend an ideal or principle which he thinks is right.
For his long, devoted service, for his sincere, affable nature, and for his kindly interest in the boys, the Log staff takes great pleasure in dedicating this book to our Mr. Dale Lash.
THE FACULTY WAITING ROOM
The student-faculty relationship at prep school, in this case Williston, is a unique situation. The students come in constant contact with men who have devoted their lives to teaching boys, whether it be in the class room, on the athletic field, or at a social function. Through these experiences one is able to learn much from dedicated men whom he respects and will long remember. The influence of the divers faculty on the student is incalculable, and to these men who have done so much for us and who have played such a predominant role in our education, we give our heartfelt thanks.

Alumni Goal Is 60% Participation In Fund
A school is only as strong as its alumni, and Williston in the past decade has received exceptionally strong alumni support.
The heart of the alumni program is the Annual Fund, to which alumni, parents, and friends are asked to contribute. In last year's fund Williston received support from 55.2% of its alumni. This put the school third among all other boys' independent schools, the first two being Belmont Hill and St. Paul's. The goal of the fund this year is 60%. If this goal is attained, six generous alumni have promised an additional $15,000. Last year's fund totaled $59,319.84. One of the outstanding features of the Alumni Fund is that it has increased from 5.2% to 55.2% alumni participation in the past decade.
In the last six years Alumni participation has increased 227%. The percentage of participation in 1954 was 16.9%; in 1955, 22.34%; in 1956, 26.5%; in 1957, 31.59%, and in 1958, 39.12%.
Howard G. Boardman Alumni Secretary
Dorothy Johnson Secretary to Alumni Office
The objective of the Fund is not solely to reach a high percentage of participation. While this is important, a more important goal is the improvement of faculty salaries, faculty and student benefits, and the physical plant at Williston through use of the money contributed.
The Alumni Trophy was won by the class of 1958 for the highest class percentage of 1958 with 76.31%. The class of 1920 won the class of 1905 Trophy. This Trophy is awarded for the highest percentage increase in total donations over the preceding year, and the class of 1920 had an amazing increase of 120.2%.
By means of the Annual Fund, the school has increased its physical plant and improved over-all facilities. Alumni support helped to build the Science Building, the new Language Center, and Swan Cottage.
The Williston Alumni council met on December 1, to discuss plans for this year's fund and to plan for Alumni Day, June 4, when the classes of 1910 and 1935 will celebrate the golden and silver anniversaries of their graduation and when the Varsity Baseball and Tennis Teams will encounter Alumni aggregations. After the December meeting, the Varsity Basketball Team defeated the Alumni Cagers, 67-37. Also throughout the year there were twelve Alumni dinners in various parts of the country.
A vital organ in strengthening alumni relations is the Williston Bulletin. Mr. Boardman, Alumni Secretary and Editor of the Bulletin, publishes four issues yearly. The Bulletin brings alumni news, school news, and Fund Reports to all Williston alumni; and this Bulletin stands as a main factor in strengthening alumni and school relations.
The alumni are certainly important to the school. They carry with them the name of Williston, wherever they go or whatever they do, and through the various alumni activities the school tries to maintain contact with her graduates.

Behind the scenes of the Williston campus is a group of people who receive little or no mention, people who are the backbone of the school. To satisfy the needs and the demands of four hundred people is an endless project. Three good meals a day, the delivery of mail and packages from home, and the maintenance of the campus are but a few of the responsibilities of the various staff departments which serve the needs of the Williston student. It is the honor of the Log staff to present these people, the indispensable school staff.
Upon entering the school house building, one finds himself engulfed in a beehive of activity. Here a busy secretary is printing an exam on a mimeographing machine; another is handing a student his weekly allowance.

ALICE MERRICK Switchboard Operator
In still another office, one sees a secretary confirming a train reservation or transferring monthly marks from the master sheet to the individual records. In another office, a letter is being typed to answer an application for admission. It is not a letter in strict business form, but a friendly message beginning, "Dear Bob." A prospective Williston student and his parents wait in Mr. Shepardson's office for their interview. Across the hall over a Dutch door, one perceives a young lady answering the switchboard, while another meticulously balances a column of bookstore account tabulations. From all sides,
the hum of 'activity buzzes as the office staff
is busily engaged in their daily chores
essen-
tial for the smooth operation of the school. Life is never still in this department.
Also in the school house are the numerous mailboxes where twice daily comes that welcomed letter from home, the letter from Emily at MacDuffle, or the newspaper describing the latest football victory in New Britain. Here one finds on the various bulletin boards many notices announcing all types of school activities. The student may even stop for a moment to chat with the switchboard operator as the automatic typewriter taps out a cordial invitation to the parents for a parent-faculty tea next month. Even when school is not in session, the activity goes on while the office staff prepares, types, and mails the numerous letters and announcements which keep the student in touch with the school.
Finally, the student may visit the snack bar to refresh himself with a soft drink or a hot fudge sundae, to watch a minute of American Bandstand on television, or to converse with several of his classmates. As a boy leaves this peaceful sanctuary, he may make a mental note to pay a visit to the bookstore tomorrow and pick up from the secretary in charge an extra bottle of ink, thpt stationery to write home to Pamie, a new textbook for English, or even a fine blue and gold scarf for a special birthday. All these various side lights show another side of Williston and the unheralded part that many people play to make our education here successful.

When normal precautions fail, the health of the student body at Williston is entrusted to three people who comprise the infirmary staff: Doctor Donais, Mrs. Vernon, and Mrs. Parker. From the moment a student enters the infirmary waiting room, he finds a healthy and restful atmosphere. For the minor or imaginary ailments there is always a word of encouragement and the everpresent pink or white pill; however, when anything of a serious nature arises, a few days' confinement with careful attention usually gets the student back to the grind in good shape.
Rest is the keynote in the infirmary, supported by the old adage of the Williston student, "Early to bed and late to rise ..." Afternoon naps further supplement the over-all schedule of rest and recuperation. The nurses check temperature and general condition before each meal, and Dr. Donais makes a daily examination. If the patient has the appetite, he can secure a welcome tray of cookies and orange juice or milk at various times throughout the day. A student brings meals from the dining hall, and breakfast in bed is certainly a refreshing change from the everyday routine of student life. Mail as well as homework assignments are delivered to the infirmary, and one may even take a test while he is convalescing. Thus, although he may be temporarily out of commission to combat illness, the student is in good hands and is still able to keep up with his academic requirements.
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. One of the more anticipated parts of Williston life is mealtime, when the omnivorous, growing boy can sit back and relax, savoring the fine meal served to him. From early morning till late at night the kitchen staff works virtually without rest to prepare these enjoyable and healthy meals for the entire school community. This is, indeed, a prodigious task and responsibility. The kitchen staff is divided into three sections. The most important of these is the group under the direction of Chef Frank Lenart which is responsible for preparing and serving our meals. Chef Lenart sees to it that each item is ready on time and that everything runs smoothly in the kitchen during mealtime. The second section in the kitchen is the dessert department from which comes not only ice cream, cookies, and fruit, but also a baked assortment of cakes, pies, and puddings. It goes without saying that this group is the most popular with the students. The last section, but by no means the least, is the cleaning department. This is the least glamorous part of the staff because to this group falls the "dirty work." These men are the last to leave the kitchen and must wash the serving dishes, pots, and pans and leave the kitchen in spic-and-span condition. To all these men of the kitchen staff we give our thanks for their fine service.

•••,t411 Crew
The school takes great pride in the beauty and cleanliness of the campus, and to the efforts of the grounds crew we may ascribe this result. When ruddy autumn trails across the New England hills staining the trees with the color of the sumac, the campus displays a profound beauty of color in nature as even the ivy on the buildings puts on its fall robe. The fallen brown leaves, though, do not become putrescent or clutter the walks, for the grounds crew is ever ready to rake and tote the leaves away. The winter comes to spread a white blanket of snow over the land, but the grounds crew has already set up the boards of the hockey rinks and the winter track. The lawnmowers have already been converted to snowplows and blowers. At dawn, when a new fallen snow greets the early riser, also present is the hum of the plows clearing the campus walks. Springtime is the season for flowers and neatly-trimmed grass, and the grounds crew spends hours weeding, cultivating, and cutting as new life is instilled into the campus. New clay is spread on the tennis courts, and the cinder track is rolled down. The paint brushes and rakes come out of hiding again as the grounds crew continues to keep the school a place of beauty of which the students may be proud.

To be a senior, to live on that highest pinnacle of youthful progress, is the aim of every student, not only at Williston, but at all schools. The senior originates the latest trend, leads the football or baseball team, and manages the school. He has reached the acme of youth and is about to step into manhood. How many events of the senior year are the most memorable in a lifetime? The Senior Prom, college acceptance, graduation — all these are much-anticipated highlights for the Williston senior, and perhaps with a bit of nostalgia, he sees the climax of his Williston education.

THE MEMORIAL DORMITORY
The underclassmen at Williston, who far outnumber the upperclassmen, have entered into a life that is, in most cases, far different from anything that they have ever known. Growing and learning under the everwatchful guidance of the school, these boys find each year going faster and faster as their daily routine gradually becomes more complicated and challenging. Whether a boy lives in Memorial Dorm or in one of the cottages, his underclass days are jovial, happy days; nevertheless, he is acquiring a sense of responsibility and a certain seriousness as he matures during his years at Williston.
Underclass Life, Varied and Interesting
"Are you serious?"
While working off his hour, Lupton decides, "At least I can do something."
Intellectual
Bill Bailey has cause to question that last statement.
"Naturally," Bill says, "Smith is all right, but think of the University of Michigan."
activity is the keynote for these underclassmen in the study hall.
With a bag of peanuts, "Jumbo Jim" DeAngelis and Brian Schick relax over a game of checkers.
Some of the boys spend their free time quackticing medicine.
And then there is the much-awaited Saturday night dance with Hamp and Burnham.
No, not quite football. The underclassmen engage in a Sunday afternoon Rugby match on Sawyer Field.
Pete Fallon and his date show an admiring audience how to Charleston in the best of circles.

THE ENTRANCE TO THE SCIENCE BUILDING
The well-rounded education that a Williston boy receives has countless facets and aspects. One of the major areas in which a boy can learn as well as express himself is through the many activities available for the students. There exist organizations ranging from the Dramatic Club and the Willistonian to the Outing Club and the newlyformed Stamp Club. With such a wide selection from which to choose, the most diverse interests can be satisfied. And a boy not only receives momentary satisfaction from his extracurricular activities, but also may develop a lifelong interest in a specific field.

Improvement Main Goal For Log Staff
The Log, the school's yearbook, is one of the most independent organizations in the school. This group (under the supervision of Adviser David Stevens) has full responsibility for its finances and management. The book is entirely published by and for the students.
Last year The Log won a first place rating from the National Scholastic Press Association. Under the leadership of its present Editor-inChief, Henry Gwiazda, the staff set out to improve the book's organization and to correct the points criticized by the N. S. P. A.
For staff purposes The Log is divided into four main sections, each of which is produced by a staff editor. The divisions are the faculty and senior section, the extra-curricular section, the sports section, and the advertising section. In addition, there is a section in the book devoted to school life, which is handled by the Editor-in-Chief. The other staff positions besides those directly concerned with specific section assignments are the art and photography positions. A most beneficial new staff position
created this year to ease the Editor-in-Chief's job is the Copy Editor.
The function of the Business Staff is to finance the cost of the Yearbook. This staff, headed by the Business Manager, works on its own to raise money by selling advertisements to local merchants, club and sports pictures to students, and school calendars designed by The Log staff to parents and students.
The photography for The Log is handled almost entirely by members of the Photography Club. Unlike last year, when professional photographers were hired to take formal sports and club pictures, this year the pictures were taken by students.
Working on the editorial staff of the 1960 Log were Henry Gwiazda, Editor-in-Chief; Henry Hacker, Managing Editor; Edward Bertozzi, Copy Editor; Henry Heaphy, Business Manager; Mike Marcus, Dave Killebrew, and Ray Lamb, Staff Editors; Jim Hamilton, Art Editor; and Jim Elkan, Photography Editor.

Major Willistonian Project Writing of Style Book
Having won a first-place award from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association last year, the Willistonian set out this year to improve its organization and to establish a definite code and style in the quality of its writing.
The newspaper is divided into three sections: the news page, the feature page, and the sports page. The news page reports on all school functions, other than sports. Editorials, cartoons, humor articles, and items of special interest are found on the feature page. "World Outlook," "Items Elsewhere," and "The Old Elm Tree" are among the regular articles found on this page. The sports section provides coverage and summaries of all Williston sports. Each page has its own editor and associate editors. Their combined efforts have produced the four-page paper every two weeks.
The fall term was spent improving the writing, photography, and staff organization. The Willistonian's major project, however, was the writing of the Willistonian Style Book. Written by Faculty Adviser William A. Maillet and Editor-in-Chief Henry Hacker, this book should serve as a guide for all future editors of the
Willistonian. The book, which is divided into twelve chapters, covers everything from the format and the responsibilities of the editorial, business, and photography departments to the writing of articles and a glossary of newspaper terms.
Three Associate Editors and the Faculty Adviser attended the Columbia Scholastic Press Association meeting, March 15th, 16th, and 17th. These Associate Editors, who are Middlers and Upper Middlers, derived many new workable ideas for the newspaper.
The Willistonian staff published two six-page issues, one on the St. Paul football game and the other a special issue on colleges. The football issue contained write-ups, pictures, and rosters of both teams and was distributed at the game. The other issue contained articles by and pictures of former Willistonian editors at college. These articles were invaluable to Seniors and Upper Middlers about to enter college.
In conjunction with the planned enlarging of the school, the Willistonian also hopes to become a weekly newspaper in the near future.

Honor Committee Continues to Maintain Good Record
The Honor Committee is comprised of nine boys — four seniors, three upper middlers, and two middlers. These boys serve under the guidance of Chairman Ted Wiehe with the purpose of strengthening the academic, social, and moral honesty in the school. The Committee is an independent body, working without supervision from the faculty or Headmaster.
When a boy is brought before the Committee for the first time, his case is examined closely. The Committee then gives him a punishment which in most cases acts as a sufficient deterrent from further wrongdoing. The Committee main-
tains the standard that a second offender of the code is to be recommended for immediate expulsion.
The fine records of Williston graduates indicate that the Honor Committee has been successful in eliminating the dishonest student while helping one-time offenders by the disciplinary action. The fact that there are few cases brought before the committee each year would also indicate that the students maintain a high regard for the honor code and the authority of the Honor Committee.
First row, left to right: R. Gwiazda, J. DeAngelis, Wiehe, C. Benoit. Second row, Schick, Tower, Hacker, Raymond.
Student Council Formulates Honor Code
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 routine duties of the Council consist of maintaining discipline among the students while serving as friendly, personal advisers to the boys. The councilors supervise the dormitories and houses and give the boys grouping based on cooperation and room neatness.
In addition to these routine duties, the Council this year has assumed a greater re-
sponsibility than ever before. The organization has taken complete charge of the evening study hall in the chapel building, and on occasion, the morning study hall. The Council also has the responsibility of supervising the library.
Job Assembly, which is directed by the Student Council, is another new addition to school life. This Assembly supplements the work job program by seeing that work jobs are properly done. For social activity, the Council has sponsored two dances this year and plans to sponsor a combined jazz concert and dance in the spring term.
The greatest contribution which the organization hopes to achieve this year is the adoption of an honor code in the school. During Christmas vacation and during the winter term the Council has worked diligently on the code and plans to put it to a student vote during the spring. The efficiency of the Council has been greatly increased this year by the formation of the Executive Committee of the Student Council. This committee meets weekly to discuss routine problems or suggestions which may arise. All material which is discussed at the committee meetings is available to each councilor. The entire Council meets monthly and more frequently if there is important business to discuss.
The Student Council, advised by Mr. Phillips Stevens, has been led this year by President Steve Hatch; Vice-President Dave Tower; Secretary Charles Benoit; and Treasurer Henry Gwiazda.

Dramatic Club Has A Most Productive Year
The Williston Dramatic Club is directed by Mr. Ellis B. Baker IV, '51. Because of his excellent training and previous experience, the Club was able to undertake an extremely difficult and advanced play, "Darkness at Noon," as the major fall term production. Herbert Schofield performed the leading role very well; and Jeff Alderman, Jon Fitts, and Bill Woodward, and Judy August, from Northampton School for Girls, took the other major parts.
This play dealt with revolutionary Russia, and the highly emotional context of the roles

presented a difficult question of interpretation and acting for the group of young actors. With a great deal of work by Mr. Baker, the rough spots were eventually eliminated and corrected. Ultimately "Darkness at Noon" received excellent ratings from the reviewers of the Springfield Republican and the Hampshire Gazette.
The winter play was also a difficult one to perform because of the great number of parts to be filled. The winter dramatic activity consisted of three one-act plays: "The Devil and Daniel Webster," "Hope is the Thing with
Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou?
Feathers," and "Pyramus and Thisbe." These three plays all had humorous plots. Steve Barber, Jeff Alderman, and Mrs. Highley took the leading roles of "The Devil and Daniel Webster," and Jim Brick and Bart Clapp played the most important roles in "Pyramus and Thisbe." "Hope is the Thing with Feathers" was acted entirely by the Williston faculty. Since very few seniors took part in these plays, a good opportunity to develop new talent was available.
"Ah, Wilderness," the spring play, was done in conjunction with the Masque and Wig, the

Dramatic Club of the Northampton School for Girls, and was a success.
To help with the many sets, props, and lighting arrangements in a full-scale production, the Theater Workshop was available for Dramatic Club use. A good many boys who were never seen on stage played a valuable part in this aspect of the Club.
With excellent equipment and direction, the Dramatic Club again realized a very productive year. The officers for 1959-1960 were President, Jon Fitts; Vice-President, Bart Schofield; and Secretary-Treasurer, Ed Bertozzi.
In "The Devil and Daniel Webster", Jeff Alderman as Scratch tantalizes a white moth while horrified cast listens to the plea of a man who has sold his soul to the devil.
Press Club Increases School Coverage
The Press Club is an organization for boys who are interested in journalism and newspaper work, and this group serves the school through reporting of all varsity athletics and news items from the campus.
The Club is divided into two sections: the Feature or News Department and the Sports Department. The News Department handles the reporting to local newspapers of such events as the latest dramatic production or the visit of a distinguished guest. The Sports Department covers and reports all home varsity athletic contests to newspapers ranging from the New York Times to the Boston Herald.
The Club is a member of the Press Club League in New England. The League's purpose is to facilitate cooperation among its member schools in reporting sports and in obtaining greater publicity in national magazines. The major project of the League schools this year has been the writing of a composite article on life in prep schools.
The officers for the year were as follows: Skip Gwiazda, President; Lans Hays, Vice-President; Bob Peterson, Sports Editor; Rollie Sterrett, League Representative; and Edward Foster, Secretary.

Intramural Debates Basis For Adelphi
One of the oldest and most respected organizations at Williston is the Debating Club, more formally known as Adelphi-Gamma Sigma. Under the leadership of Messrs. Henchey and Thomas, the club met each Thursday night to debate topics of national and international interest.
Most of the debating this year was intramural. Among the subjects debated were the national topics — "The Power of the Supreme Court" and "Government Control of Labor Unions." Each debate was followed by a group discussion in which all members were able to express their opinions on the topic. Included on the program for the Spring Term were an outside debate with Mt. Hermon and the Trinity Triangular Meet. Bill Bailey was President of Adelphi, Skip Gwiazda was Vice-President, Jerry Naylor was Secretary, and Ray Lamb was Treasurer.

The Annual Christmas concert with the Northampton School for Girls was directed jointly by Miss Jean Diekoff and Mr. Henry Teller and accompanied by Mrs. Natalie Strong. The program included three Christmas lullabies and 0 Come,0 Come, Emmanuel sung by the Northampton Glee Club; Allelujah and Glory to that New Born King sung by Williston; and 0 Jesus, King Most Wonderful and Christmas Day sung jointly.
In February, the Glee Club held its annual concert in Southampton at the Congregational Church. This yearly concert has been presented for more than a quarter of a century and serves as an excellent preparation for the Northfield Concert.
The Annual Preparatory Schools Glee Club Festival at Northfield was the highlight of the year. The concert began with the traditional Prayer of Thanksgiving. Williston sang two selections from Frostiana by Randall Tompson with words by Robert Frost. These pieces had never been sung at this concert before. Two selections from the Beggar's Opera Chorus were also well received as original choices. The six schools concluded the concert with Sing Praise
to God the Almighty and a new version of God of our Fathers arranged by the Deerfield director. Williston, Mount Hermon, Kimball Union, Lenox, Vermont, and Deerfield have sung at this concert annually for nine years.
In May, the Glee Club sang at a chapel service in Northampton with the Smith College Freshmen Choir. Glory to God in the Highest and Thou Knowest, God, the Secrets of my Heart were the two principal pieces sung during the service. This was the first time in several years that this concert has been held.
The MacDuffle Concert at Williston was the second most important concert of the year. Li'l Liza Jane and Rovin' put this year's concert, which was a fine success, into high spirits. A dance followed the performance. Two years ago the ooncert was held in Springfield.
The Glee Club also sang at the Baccalaureate Service in the Chapel and at Graduation Exercises in the Gymnasium. The Glee Club performs this function annually on Commencement day.
Mr. Teller, with the aid of the officers, Bill Hastings, President; Dick Stewart, Vice-president; and Larry Hyman and Larry Woodworth, managers, made the Glee Club once again one of the most successful extra-curricular activities at Williston.

THE DOUBLE
The Double Quartet is a group chosen from the Glee Club during the fall term. Boys are selected for their voice-blending qualities and their interest in singing. The group sings as a closely harmonizing unit, not as eight separate voices. Comprising this year's group were first tenors, Dick Stewart and Rod Hawkins; second tenors, John McNamara and Tom Pierpan; first basses, John Spare and Brian Kellogg; and second basses, Newell Doty and Dave Shaw. Mrs. Natalie Strong of Easthampton was the accompanist for the group.
The first concert given by the Double Quartet was in Leeds, Massachusetts, for the Northampton Public School Parent-Teachers' Association. This concert was given in conjunction with the Music Club of the Northampton School for Girls. The concert was recorded and played on Christmas Day over station WHMP in Northampton. The Double Quartet also sang four secular pieces with the Music Club at the
QUARTET
Glee Club's Christmas Concert with Northampton. These selections were Fum, Fum, Fum, a Spanish carol; Happy Bethlehem, a Basque carol; Dadme Athricias, Lejos d'Eva, a 16thcentury Spanish carol; and Carol of the Drum, a Czechoslovakian carol better known as The Little Drummer Boy.
In the Winter Term the group sang at the annual dinner of the Easthampton Mothers' Club on February 18. It also performed with the Glee Club at the Southampton Congregational Church on February 26th. Selections from these concerts included such familiar songs as Gently Johnny, Mood Indigo, Tea for Two, and Dry Bones.
In the Spring Term the Quartet sang with the MacDuffle School for Girls and Smith College. The latter concert was composed of sacred music, and both concerts were performed in conjunction with the Glee Club.

Y Cabinet Experiences Very Successful Year
The Y Cabinet was founded as the only religious organization at Williston. Composed of twelve elected seniors, the committee still continues its religious aspect through its Thursday evening chapel services. The Y Cabinet also sends a delegation annually to the Northfield Religious Conference conducted at the Northfield School for Girls. At this meeting ideas and problems concerning faith are discussed with students from other preparatory schools.
The Y Cabinet is very active in other phases of school life. Members sell food at football and basketball games and sponsor numerous social activities throughout the year in order to raise money for the Williston Fund. The Fund's purpose is to finance the tuition of one student each year at the American University in Beirut, Lebanon. The Cabinet also organizes magazine and clothing drives during the year to help local veterans' and children's hospitals.
During the first week of school, the Y Cabinet has its annual reception, at which leading members of all varsity sports and extra-curricular activities describe their organizations in order to acquaint the new boy with what Williston has to offer to the student besides academics.
Also sponsored by the club is the annual "Buck Party," an evening when both old and new boys can display their talents and skills in various performances and skits.
With Rick Seybolt as President and Mr. Daniel Carpenter as faculty adviser, the Y Cabinet has continued to play a strong role at Williston by contributing to both the school and community welfare.

Photography Club Continues To Serve Publications
Jim Elkan inspects a roll of negatives for The Log.
The purpose of this year's Photography Club remained as it was last year; namely, a service organization which covered the photography assignments issued by The Log and The Willistonian. Since the course in darkroom techniques was so successful last year, it was included in this year's curriculum for club members. With the excellent facilities available and under the capable guidance of Mr. Couch and Mr. Cleveland, interest in the Photography Club was extremely strong throughout the year.
Many new, inexperienced boys joined this year's organization, and through the guidance of the advisers and of a few of the more experienced boys, the new boys became quite proficient in taking better pictures and improving their processing technique. By the end of the year these boys added greatly to the number of photographers working for The Log and The Willistonian.
As most of this year's Photography Club consisted of Lower and Upper Middlers, next year's photography assignments will also be ably carried out. Jim Elkan was President of this year's Photography Club, and Gary Kleinerman served as Vice-President.

Chess Club Innovates Challenge Ladder
The primary purpose of the Williston Chess Club is to give interested students the opportunity to play chess with other Williston students and with other schools. The secondary objective of the organization is to promote the development of chess at Williston and to teach the game to interested beginners.
The Chess Club is an activity offering a field of exciting and, at times, bewildering adventure to the novice player, while giving the stronger player a keen battlefield of constantly changing tactical and strategical problems. All chess however, is played in an atmosphere of relaxation and friendly competition.
This year, under the guidance of faculty adviser Mr. Thorner, and Club president Ed Bertozzi, a new feature was added to the Club organization; namely, a challenge ladder whereby the strongest players are ranked by number and may be challenged for their ranking by any player of the Club. The players who occupy positions one through seven are constantly called upon to defend their rank, for they have the privilege of representing Williston in interscholastic competition.
Membership in the Williston Chess Club is beneficial, not only because of the mental exercise afforded, but also because of the acquaintances and often-times lasting friendships which one makes.

shortwave transmitter with an output of nearly 500 watts and a Hammarlund HQ-100 shortwave receiver are available for the use of those boys who hold General Class amateur licenses. This equipment can be used for either voice or code communication. A new antenna was installed this year to improve the effectiveness of the equipment.
The Club also makes available an automatic code sending device which allows members to increase their proficiency in sending and receiving Morse Code in preparation for the license examination given by the Federal Communications Commission. This year the Club has sponsored a course in electronic theory to help its members in preparing for their license examinations.
At present the Club is planning to purchase several new pieces of equipment to improve the performance of its present station. It is hoped that the changes and improvements made this year will result in greatly improved performance in the club's equipment.

Extension For Cabin Being Planned
The Outing Club, directed by Mr. George Buell and Mr. Dale Cleveland, is Williston's extracurricular activity for the outdoorsman. Since the club was organized, members have built a fine log cabin, capable of housing boys on overnight campouts. The cabin is located on the several hundred acres of Williston property in Southampton. Both students and faculty have taken advantage of the cabin by picnicking there during the year.
Club members this year improved the general appearance of the cabin and the surrounding terrain and plan to add an extension to the cabin in the near future. Much fishing was done in the recently stocked brook, flowing a short distance from the cabin.
The president of this year's Outing Club was August Burrichter. Because of excellent club participation, the group had a very successful year and hopes to have an equally productive future.

The Pre-Pre-Meds, Williston's medical club, is the second new club founded this year. It is composed of boys desiring to enter eventually the.medical profession and wishing to learn something about physiology and medicine.
The Club met once every two weeks. At the meetings, films on operation techniques, diseases, and other subjects related to medicine were shown. The Club was fortunate to have several noteworthy lecturers come to talk about their respective fields. Dr. John Gilbert told the Club about pathology, and Dr. Marshall Louis described pediatrics.
Mr. Stewart Highley and Dr. Donais, school physician, served as advisers to the organization. John Buxton was president, John Jewett was vice-president, and David Hough was secretary.
Highlight For Science Club Trip To Observatory
Williston's Science Club is an organization designed to promote interest in science among the student body. The Club organizes activities with the purpose of bringing its members into contact with new and interesting phases of science, many of which are not covered in the regular science courses. The Club's activities consist mainly of films, lectures, and field trips. This year a number of films were shown, including such topics as the story of blood, the principles and uses of the electron tube, and science's long search for clues to the nature of
cosmic rays. In addition, several lectures were given, and a field trip was made to Smith College's observatory, where the members saw some of the many instruments and methods used in modern astronomy. The Club hopes that interest in science will continue among its members in this age when science plays so important a part in everyone's life.
The Club's officers were John Sangster, President, and Carl Hendrickson, Vice-President and Secretary. Dr. Ralph Phillips is the group's faculty adviser.

Mr. Shaler appraises work done in the new worldwide stamp album.
This year one of the two new organizations at Williston was the Stamp Club. The Club is directed by Mr. Alan Shaler, who founded the organization when several students expressed an interest in stamps. The club was a success for its members regularly attended its weekly meetings and built up a good collection of stamps.
The Club regularly sponsored displays of stamps in the Science Building Lobby. Several students and faculty members donated stamps to the Club, and the school purchased for the group a world-wide album. A major project was the cataloguing of the donated stamps in the album. Primarily, the Club limited its own buying of new stamps to the current United States and United Nations commemorative issues. The Stamp Club was unable to buy any other stamps until its financial status was established.
Since the group is mainly comprised of underclassmen who should continue to show an interest in stamps, the Club may look forward to a very productive future.

Sailing Reaches Pinnacle Of Success
Sailing at Williston has definitely come into its own in the last year. Through the Sailing Club, boys can participate in this growing national activity; and extreme interest in sailing among the students has boosted club membership tremendously and has made for a very successful year.
The Club held meetings every two weeks with a movie or talk on the program. The shows varied from a talk by Captain Frederick Lawton, sailing master aboard the Columbia during her victory in The American Cup races, to movies on water safety. The club also inaugurated a seal to be worn on jackets or coats of club members.
The main purpose of The Sailing Club has been to interest candidates in the Sailing Team,
as well as to promote sailing for enjoyment. The majority of the team's sailors were very active in the Sailing Club.
The Sailing Club and the Sailing Team were given anonymously $2,300 last spring and $2,500 this fall. With this money the school bought the Club and the Team six Gannet class boats and traded in the old fleet of M. I. T. dinghies and Waterbugs.
The Sailing Club is greatly indebted to Mr. David Stevens and Mr. Peter Richmond, the advisers, and to the officers — David Tower, President; Larry Woodworth, Vice-President; and Merritt Carlton, Secretary-Treasurer. Their efforts have made this year's Club one of the finest in years.

Band Undertakes Playing At Chapel Services
Despite the limited number of musicians in the school this year, the band made many improvements toward building a strong, wellorganized group. This Williston Band, under the direction of Mr. John D. Goss, was especially active at various athletic contests, and a special section of the band played periodically at chapel services.
The band met as a body once a week, though sectional rehearsals were given at special times. Students with above-average ability and with more experience were an invaluable aid by helping the beginners improve their technique and skill.
Playing at football games and at night basketball games, the band helped the Gold Key in adding unity to the student body cheering. The Trumpet Quartet, chosen from regular band members, provided music for special chapel services throughout the year. The band is an organization that has become an important part of the school life.

Gold Key Active Throughout Year
The Gold Key's primary purpose is to promote spirit at athletic contests throughout the year, and the organization also serves as the school's cheerleading squad. The Gold Key organized pep rallies on Friday nights during football season and was active at home basketball games. Heading this year's group was Steve Hatch. Giving proficient aid to Steve were Charlie Callahan, Henry Hacker, Frank Merrick, Jeff Alderman, Bill Bailey, and Jerry Naylor.
Athletic Advisory Board Functions Smoothly
The Athletic Advisory Board is composed of the coaches, captains, and managers of varsity sports. The Board, which is directed by Mr. A. L. Hepworth, meets periodically during the year to review recommendations of the coaches for all varsity letter awards. The Board also approves the election of managers and captains. Problems which have occurred during the various athletic seasons are discussed by the Board and suggestions and advice are subsequently presented to the Athletic Director, Mr. Lash, or to the individual coaches.

THE SWIMMING POOL
At Williston there is an extensive athletic program for all boys regardless of ability, size, or age. Through this aspect of our education here, everyone is able to compete in athletics every season and learn those intangible elements of sportsmanship and victory or defeat that cannot be presented in the classroom. Each year many memorable contests are played on Williston athletic fields by teams on all levels. Perhaps a boy may soon forget the quadratic formula, but the fact that he played on a football team which defeated Loomis or that he hit a triple against Deerfield are things a boy will long carry with him after he has left Williston and played his last sport.

Rain Fails to Dampen Football Spirit and Success
Constant team improvement, driving desire, and rainy weather were characteristic of the 1959 football season. With only four lettermen returning, the team faced a major task of rebuilding and returned a week before school opened to start early practice. Confronted by a group of inexperienced and young players, Coaches Francis and Carpenter began the difficult task of forming a team. The defensive line and the offensive backfield were the power of the team. This aspect of the team was especially evident in the Loomis, Suffield and St. Paul's games. Facing an undefeated Loomis squad, which had defeated the Wesleyan Freshmen and compiled more than 70 points in two games, the Wildcats upset this powerhouse, 24 to 13, as Dave, DeLuca at quarterback and Doug Thomson
at halfback combined for Williston's four touchdowns. The defensive line was decidedly a key factor in this victory because it successfully broke up the able Loomis passing offense.

In the mud and rain at Suffield the football team eked out a 6-0 victory on a touchdown by Dave Killebrew. Doug Thomson played exceptional football in running for 240 yards from scrimmage. Suffield's powerful running offense was not only held scoreless, but gained only 83 yards.
Marked individualplayer improvement and team spirit were again evident in the season's final against St. Paul's, a game also played in adverse weather. Skip Gwiazda and Doug Thomson accounted for the scoring in the Wildcats' 24-14 victory. The defensive line, led by Oct.
Co - Captain Charlie Benoit, again held the running offense of the visitors, though weak pass defense was instrumental in the two St. Paul's touchdowns which tied the game at the half. After Thomson intercepted two passes and ran for two touchdowns in the second half, the game's outcome was no longer in doubt.
The offensive backfield included quarterback Dick Lynch, who regularly alternated with Co-Captain DeLuca; the outstanding Doug Thomson; Skip Gwiazda, the second leading ground gainer; and. fullback Jim Hamilton. Standouts in the defensive unit were linebackers Chris Moser, Vic Fazio, and Co-Captain Benoit, while in the line Jim DeAngelis, Jim Huber, Kingsley Sullivan, Peter Holmes, Henry Hacker, Cam Savage, and Dave Thorne presented a staunch forward wall.

Weather Hampers Soccer Scoring Punch
Statistics never show a truly accurate picture of a team. In the cold facts of the record for the 1959 soccer season, one does not find the spirit or persistency that was evident in this year's squad. Led by Coaches Babcock and Brown, the team —playing more games than usual — finished the season in the middle of the Western Massachusetts Preparatory School League.
team effort for a full sixty minutes. Everyone played his best in a game that was typical of the spirit that overshadows a moderate record for the year.
An interesting aspect of the season was the constant shifting of the lineups in an attempt to find that winning combination.
Co- Captains Tom Gordon and Sophun Chermsirivatana sparked the team to two early victories before the rainy weather set in. From this point, rain and mud hampered the team's scoring punch and offensive of Ed Padmore, Dick Shepardson, Ronnie Diehl, and Bert Abbey. Though the Wildcats lost to an excellent Suffield squad, this game stands as a tribute to the coaches and team. Playing in rain and mud against a superior opponent, the team did not acknowledge the forces against them and gave an outstanding
Many boys were given valuable experience through this strategy and gave much to the team. It is also interesting to note that Dick Furniss, the goalie; Kurt Kuechler; and Gerry Padmore came from minor teams to play Varsity soccer this year.

Defensive Basketball Key To Cinderella Team
For the Williston Varsity Basketball Team, the 1959-1960 season was to have been a rebuilding period, for no one expected this year's team to better last year's excellent 11-4 record. However, the 1960 team, through good shooting, strong defense, and all-out hustle inspired by Coach Richard Francis, compiled a record of thirteen wins and four losses for a season average of .765.

The success of the season is due to many factors: the remarkable outside shooting of Don Raymond, who scored 15.5 points per game; the outstanding performance of Duke DeLuca under the boards; the driving ability of Doug Thomson and Captain Rick Seybolt; the ball- handling of Dick Lynch; and, most importtant, the ability of every member of the team to play strong defensive basketball when the pressure was on. This last factor is illustrated by the fact that while Williston scored 53.9 points per game, our opponents scored only 48.3 points per game. These figures, plus the 13-4 won-lost record,

indicate that Williston won most of the close games, not by an outburst of scoring, but by holding the opposing team's offense in check and forcing the opposition to make mistakes. The highlights of the 1959-1960 season were the Vermont Academy game and the traditional games with Deerfield. After losing two games within the space of a week, Williston faced a powerful Vermont team in Easthampton, a team ranked fourth in New England Class A Prep School competition. Behind the steady shooting of Duke DeLuca and Don Raymond, who scored 24 and 17 points respectively, Williston led throughout the entire game for a stunning upset victory. In spite of Deerfield's height advantage, Williston was in charge throughout the game at Deerfield and won 57-40. In the second game, played on Williston's court, Deerfield led at the half 25-22 but was able to score only four points in the third quarter as Williston applied its stubborn defense and forged ahead offensively to win, 45-42.

This year has proved to be an exceptional one for the Varsity Ski Team, for Williston had its first undefeated team in the school's history. Constantly good snow conditions enabled the team to be much more active than teams of previous years, and the rope tow worked unusually well, making all conditions ideal for the excellent season.
Skiing for consistency proved to be the winning formula. The team members realized that two equally good times are better than one good time and one poor one. By not trying to smash all speed records, the Williston skiers,

Captain Frank Williams, Rod Carnie, Ulrich Schneider, Richard Shields, Mike Iselin, Lee Hawkes,and Dennis Berube were letter winners. Carnie and Schneider, who skied in competition for the first time this year, were constant rivals for first position, while Shields and Iselin ranked close behind them. Captain Frank Williams continually worked and improved throughout the season. Hawkes and Berube, both very able skiers, added depth to the team. Whereas previous teams have had one or two good skiers, this year we had two standouts plus many other very capable boys. Carnie, Shields, Iselin, and Berube will return next year, and Coach David Stevens hopes for another good season. Mr. David Stevens deserves much credit for the team's success this year. By teaching consistency, he coached the team to its first undefeated season. Manager David Torrey, aided by Robert Dunning, also deserves credit for his work. The coach and the entire school can be proud of this outstanding squad.
SKIING SCHEDULE
Drive And Determination Bring Unexpected Success
In a splash of water Hank Cheatham makes the first turn of the 100-yard orthodox breaststroke while competing against Trinity.
As Coach Babcock watches, John Bott is off with the gun on the first lap of a record-breaking 200-yard individual medley.
Jim Hamilton and Don Reed spring off the starting blocks at Deerfield for the 100-yard free-style.
Centered around Co-Captains John Bott and Steve Hatch, a highly-spirited Williston Swimming Team completed a very respectable 7-5 season.
Having won dual meets with the University of Connecticut and the Trinity College Freshmen, the team lost a close meet to Hotchkiss. After two more victories over Springfield Technical High School and Avon Old Farms,the team was soundly defeated by a strong Deerfield team. However, the Williston swimmers showed the spirit which made up for their lack of depth by beating the Brown Freshmen and by upsetting a strong Worcester team. Probably the most outstanding victory of the season was the one over the Mt. Hermon team. The final freestyle relay was the deciding factor of the meet, and the Williston quartet of Burrichter, Hamilton, Hatch, and Bott edged out the Mt. Hermon team to win the meet. This victory was typical of the drive and determination that led the team to an unexpectedly fine season.
John Bott, Williston's most versatile and outstanding swimmer, led the team throughout the entire season with his record-breaking performances in the 200-yard individual medley.
Co-Captain Steve Hatch and Jim Hamilton, the team's leading free-stylers, were also consistent point winners for Williston. Bill Bailey and Terry Phillips, two of the most diligent workers on the team, consistently lowered their times throughout the season. Pete Savage and Dick Sheldon, by their fine diving performances, provided valuable depth for the team. Hank Cheatham, Bill Hastings, and Ed Rehmann aided the team greatly throughout the season.
The season was climaxed by third place in the Trinity Interscholastics. John Bott turned in his usual fine performance by breaking his own record in the 200-yard individual medley and by taking a second in the 100-yard backstroke. Jim Hamilton in the 100-yard free-style, Pete Savage in the diving, and Terry Phillips in the 200-yard free-style were individual point winners for Williston. Both Williston relay teams captured fifth places to complete the scoring.
Much of the credit for the success and spirit of this year's team goes to Coach Babcock. His strenuous workouts and masterful ingenuity in moving versatile swimmers into different events were responsible for many of Williston's victories.

As in past years, the 1960 Winter Track Team was mainly a conditioning squad for boys interested in Spring Track. The season's emphasis was placed on instructing inexperienced boys interested in track and on conditioning all boys for Spring Track.
This year under the supervision of Messrs. Cleveland, Culver, Putnum, and Shaler, the team won, for the first time since its founding, the Winter Interscholastic Track Meet at the University of Massachusetts. In defeating both Deerfield and Wilbraham, the team took three first and six second places, indicating for the squad both talent and depth. "Red" Ryder won the 35-yard dash with a time of 4.3 seconds to tie a record held by four other sprinters. Derek Scoble won the 1000-yard run and Dave Killebrew won the 600-yard race. Sophum in the hurdles and high jump, Toby Wheeler in the 1000, Jeff Alderman in the 300, and Larry Hyman in the shot-put took second places as

the team accumulated a winning 35 points. Deerfield had 28 points and Wilbraham 27.
For the team's second meet of the year, the loss of the relay proved to be the margin of defeat as the track team lost 392/3 — 371 / 2 in a dual meet with Wilbraham.
Williston took first places in the high jump, 1000-yard and 600-yard races, and second places in the shot-put, dash, hurdles, and distance events to lead by 2 1 /3 points before the relay. Wilbraham took this event, however, to defeat Williston by this slight margin. Outstanding in this meet were Derek Scoble, Dave Killebrew, and Sophum, with "Red" Ryder, Larry Hyman, and Gordon Eliot also displaying ability and potential.
As indicated by the results of the Winter Track Team's fine season, the outlook for Spring Track is favorable. Good performances by Scoble, Sophum, Killebrew, Wheeler, and Hyman should help insure an excellent basis for this squad.
"On your mark . . . Get set . . ." And Jeff Alderman waits that split second before firing out of the blocks for a 300 at Wilbraham.

Adverse Weather Hinders Skaters' Keen Spirit
The 1960 Williston Hockey Team suffered at the hands of adverse weather conditions. Lack of practice throughout the season plagued the skaters, and many games which could have been won could not be played because of poor ice conditions. The season record was two wins and seven losses.

The highpoint of the season was the keenly contested Loomis game. After a week without practice or ice, the Williston skaters found themselves leading the Loomis team at the close of the first period, 1-0, on a goal by Chuck Vernon. Well practiced on their artificial rink, the Loomis boys able to tie the game and then go ahead; however, Charlie Callahan scored to bring the game into a sudden-death overtime. Though the Loomis team scored after four minutes of play for the victory, this well-fought contest was the outstanding Williston hockey game of the year.
Throughout the season the team showed spirit and determination in spite of the frustrating weather. Coach Carpenter deserves much credit for his untiring efforts in the face of difficult circumstances. With only four lettermen leaving the team through graduation, next year's squad can look forward to a better season.

Williston goalie Dan Griffin did an outstanding job this year and can look forward to two more years in the goal. Pacing the team in scoring were Chuck Vernon, Charlie Callahan, and Gary Kleinerman while Pete Goodnough was excellent on defense. Pete Fallon, Cam Savage, and Ben Haller, who will all be returning for the 1961 hockey season, played fine hockey this year and showed a great deal of improvement defensively. Besides Vernon, underclass offensive stalwarts were Tom Zavorski and Homer Perkins.

Wrestling Team Undergoes Building Period
The Williston Wrestling Team in its second year as a varsity sport faced some stiff competition and did not have an outstanding record. Through the course of the nine-meet season, the Williston wrestlers were able to win only three matches while losing the other six. Losing two very close matches to Wilbraham and to the American School for the Deaf kept the team from having a winning season.
Captain Jim Huber is the only member graduating from this year's team.

This season served as a building period for the new varsity team and for the future of wrestling at Williston. After two years, a firm foundation of experienced wrestlers has finally been built. From now on the wrestling teams will not be plagued with the problem of inexperience, for there will be a steady progression of well-trained wrestlers coming from the J. V. squad. For next year, nine out of the ten varsity starters of this year's group will be coming back, many of whom will be going into their third year of wrestling.

seniors through graduation tion of Doug Thomson and Dave DeLuca in the infield, both of whom are also power hitters, will undoubtedly prove to be a great asset to the team. Dick Lynch will probably be at shortstop again this year, and Larry Harris could fill the first base position. Dave Thorne should round out the infield as catcher.

Don Raymond and Bert Abbey will once more carry the burden of the pitching duties. The outfield is at present open to last year's substitutes and J. V. starters. Besides DeLuca and Thomson, Dave Thorne, Dick Lynch, and Don Raymond should lead the team in the batting department. Rick Seybolt, Paul Lizak, and Lester Smith fill out the rest of the roster.

Competition Challenging, But Sailors Are Most Able
At Williston, sailing has finally been recognized as a major spring sport. With financial aid from anonymous donors, the school purchased six new boats and uniform sweat shirts for the team members, and leased a boathouse on Lake Norwich.
To top off this fine start, the team has three outstanding skippers returning: Captain Dave Tower, Larry Woodworth, and
Merritt Carlton. A large group of sailing apprentices and future skippers has increased Coach David Stevens' optimism concerning this year's sailing record.

Our chief goal at Williston being sound college preparation, the prime emphasis of our school life is academic achievement. From the first days of classes in September to the Cum Laude installation in February and then through final exams, there is a challenging academic program for every boy. In addition to mental travail each boy in school has a work job, which he does daily. And then there is always the lighter side beginning in the fall with the various social affairs and terminating with the Senior Prom. All in all, the students have a varied, interesting school life.
There are ways to study, and there are ways to study.
School Life Emphasis Is Academic
In the other sections of The Log we have portrayed various aspects of the Williston Education, and there remains but one more important phase to develop: school life — the paramount academic program, the lighter side of Williston life, and then briefly the social highlights of the year.
The most important side of any school's life is the academic side and, in the case of Williston, specifically academic preparation for college. In the opinion of The Log staff, the outstanding aspect of the Williston school life and education, the one thing that stands foremost in the mind of each editor, is the great progress Williston is continually making to provide the best possible college preparation for its students. Every department is expanding and developing, adding new courses and acquiring new facilities. The all-important academic picture is one of growth, and this expansion has been the most prominent feature of our school life for the last decade.
The tangible evidence of Williston's growth is shown in the recent construction of the Science Building and of the new Language
"Only eleven minutes and twentyeight seconds to go."
Bruce Faber concentrates to express his aesthetic subconscious.
"What is that man talking about?"
"One more test like that and we'll be sitting here next year."

John Sangster expounds and diagrams his theory of electronics.
Achievementand Constant Development
Laboratory. The Science Building has a classroom and laboratory for each of the four science courses and has facilities for music and the various arts and crafts. The Language Laboratory, with its individual booths and tape recorders for each student, is the greatest step taken so far in adopting the new "direct method" of language study.
However, less tangible is the growth of the school as shown through the ever-expanding and improving curriculum. Advanced placement courses in Mathematics, Science, and History have been designed within the last several years. Two years of Greek and Far Eastern History were added to the curriculum last year, and a course in Russian Civilization is scheduled for next fall.
Thus, in this section of our yearbook we have tried to show both the large and the small aspects of Williston school life. With emphasis on academics we have included vignettes of the diversions of Williston boys, the work job program, and the Senior Prom. All this is part of the varied panorama of our education at Williston.

Outstanding English Department
Time Magazine states in a special article on college entrance, "English is the key to college work; by 1970 an estimated one-fourth of the applicants may be rejected because they get so little of it (English)." When one considers the fact that Williston students continue to attend the best universities, he can have no doubt about the quality of our English department, reputedly one of the best among preparatory schools.
A young boy entering Williston will benefit from a well-balanced English program that includes grammar and rhetoric, composition work and literature. During his years at Williston, a boy is given the oppor- tunity to improve his reading ability and perception through broadening contacts with many of the world's great literary works, ranging from Shakespeare and Dickens to Hemingway and Miller. Basically the various level English courses spend the three terms as follows: the fall term studying novels or biographies ranging from Conrad's Victory to Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities; the winter term studying drama, prin- cipally Shakespeare, but also modern playwrights such as MacLeish (J. B.) and Miller (All My Sons); the spring term studying poetry in collected volumes such as Poems for Enjoyment or Preface to Poetry.
When a student has shown superior ability in English, he may qualify for honor work in an advanced class. The Senior Honors Course, taught by Dean Rouse, is a far-reaching course that covers much more work than the average English class. Real achievement in this honor course can easily lead to advanced placement in college, and this spring seven seniors will take the Advanced Placement Test.

Gains New Importance From Time
Writing techniques are given emphasis in the various English classes, and there are regularly scheduled book reports and compositions in all classes to supplement grammar studies. For seniors, an English term paper, dealing with several books read during the year, is the ultimate test of a boy's writing skills.
Among the various English teachers there are divers methods of teaching their courses. Mr. Thorner uses his profound knowledge of psychology to explain human motivation, Mr. Randall answers questions with a thought-provoking question, Mr. Baker presents collegetype lectures, and Mr. Shaler uses his broad knowledge of literature to enrich the basic texts.
Dean Rouse has guided the constant development and improvement of this department and is very ready to add a new book or to introduce new concepts for the betterment of the program. We give our thanks to all the members of the English Department for their efforts. Mr. Rouse, speaking for his department, summed up the fundamental policy: "The main purpose of the English courses is to help boys to write and speak clear, idiomatic English; to understand as fully as possible what they read; to increase the range and depth of their understanding of men and society through knowledge of the best literature; and, in the process of developing standards of judgment and of taste, to find enduring pleasure in reading good books." Under the guidance of dedicated men this goal has most certainly been reached through the ever-advancing program.
Mr. Stanley also decides that it's fairly funny.
"Regardless, the best authorities contend . . ."

Lab Advances Modern Language Study
The study of modern foreign languages has made great progress at Williston in recent years. New emphasis has been placed on the speaking and thinking of these languages instead of class concentration on only writing and grammar study. This emphasis has led to the innovation of the direct method, a process by which no English is spoken in class, and to the building of a new language laboratory.
The direct method was started by Mr. Putnam, head of the Modern Language Department, in his German I course two years ago. He has now continued the direct method with these same students through the present year. These students have better command of the language, both in reading and speaking, than the classes taught by the previous method.
Success in the German Department has led to the establishment of the same type of course in French by Mr. Filiault last year. Now all first year French and German courses are being taught by the direct method. The switch to this method by the Spanish Department is planned for next year.
The building of the language laboratory has been a significant advancement by the department. This lab was established in conjunction with the new direct method program. The lab consists of sixteen individual booths in which a tape recorder is placed. The student is then able to record his own voice and compare it to a taping of a native speaking his own language. In this way a student may compare accents and readily hear his errors.
Williston has been outstanding in establishing new and better language-study methods and was the third of New England schools and colleges to employ this method, the first two being M. I. T. and Choate. The study of foreign language is a significant part of any education, and each Williston student is required to take at least two years of a modern foreign language.

Complete Classics Study Available
Williston's academic growth can also be seen in the Ancient Language Department. Recently Greek has been added to the department curriculum of four years of Latin. Great emphasis is placed on both these languages, because they are extremely helpful in the building of vocabulary and in the studying of basic language structure.
Every student who attends Williston in the eighth or ninth grade is required to study Latin. In the first year, a detailed study of vocabulary and grammar is made. For the second year one briefly reviews the first-year grammar and then reads Caesar's Commentaries. The third year is devoted almost entirely to reading Cicero's orations and Virgil's Aeneid. The Latin Department is distinguished in that it has the only female member of the faculty, Mrs. Teller. Teaching with her are Mr. Duggan, Mr. Lossone, and Mr. Clark.
Greek was first added to the Williston curriculum last year. Williston is one of the few private schools at which Greek can be studied for two years, for at most schools Greek is only taught as a one-year senior course.
These two languages comprise a valuable aspect of our education; and every student at one time or another studies under the tutelage of this department while developing his language background.

Math And Science Departments
The study of mathematics comprises a major portion of the Williston education. This department, headed by Mr. Gebhard, is also planning special advanced courses for gifted students. It will soon be possible for a Williston student to complete his first year of college math in his senior year at Williston.
As of now, there is a senior honor mathematics course. The students have completed Solid Geometry and Trigonometry in far less time than the regular senior course, so that they now can study elementary calculus and analytical geometry. Mr. Gebhard has also added the new algebraic concept of sets to this course.
A course much the same as the proposed advanced science course will be initiated next year. The plan is that honor students will study Algebra I, Algebra II, and Plane Geometry within two years. In his Upper Middler year, a student will take the present senior mathematics course consisting of Trigonometry, Solid Geometry, and Advanced Algebra. He will then be able to do college mathematics and prepare for advanced placement in his senior year.
Basic mathematical ability is one of the most important aspects of education. At Williston, new courses are continually being added to the curriculum so that each student may realize his potential ability and receive the best possible college preparation.
With growing perplexity Mr. Couch tries to balance his budget.
"My mistake, your error."

Add New Courses To Curriculum
The recent addition of the Science Building has provided the Science Department with excellent facilities for its courses, and each science course now has its own fully-equipped laboratory, another step forward in the progress and development of the science curriculum at Williston. These separate laboratories contain the most modern equipment available for Chemistry, Physics, and Biology.
However, this is not the only recent advancement in the Science Department. The Department head, Dr. Phillips, has planned a new advanced honor course for next year. The combined course in Physics and Chemistry will begin in the tenth grade and continue for two years. In his senior year the student may then choose an advanced college placement course; moreover, this combined course eliminates much of the repetition a student would have if he were to take both courses separately. Last year an advanced Biology course was also introduced. The Science Department has initiated another new item on the student's agenda. Every other week a science film is presented in the H. G. Boardman Auditorium. These films help the student see the ultimate end for which he is striving and give him a far broader concept of his course of study. The advancement in the Williston Science Program is part of the nation-wide progress toward the betterment of secondary school science teaching, and we may be proud of the strides Williston is taking.

Russian History NextStep In Growth
Again, this year, the History Department has planned to expand its course of study to cover another aspect of Eastern History. Beginning in the fall of 1960, Russian Civilization will be included as a regular course. Along with the course will be lecturers, films, outside reading, and seminars from which students will be able to acquire different views of this subject. Mr. Henry Teller will teach this new course, offered to Seniors and Upper-Middlers as a part of the regular curriculum of history courses which now include Far Eastern, American, Ancient, and Modern European history.
To supplement weekly reading of current events in Time and Newsweek, Mr. Hepworth, head of the History Department, gave lectures on the latest news every other Tuesday in the Boardman Auditorium. Besides these lectures, movies were also shown during the afternoon study hall to aid history students in their regular course of study.
Another feature carried out by the History Department was the Annual Time Current Events Test. The Test, for all members of the school, was run on a competitive basis, and the highest scores in each grade were prize winning scores.
Members of the Ancient History classes went to museums in Boston to see 200 scenes depicting the people being studied in class. It is the general policy of the History Department to keep abreast of the latest techniques in teaching as well as to offer features of interest in each course. Frequent meetings of the Department help to spread the latest methods, which in turn stimulate the study of history.
The members of the History Department — Mr. Hepworth, Mr. Buell, Mr. Teller, Mr. Bradford, and Mr. Lawton — attend various regional meetings with members of history departments of other schools. In this way news and better teaching methods are obtained to keep the Williston program abreast of the times.

Art and Music Departments Developing
With the new facilities of the Science Building, the Williston Art and Music Departments have greatly developed in the past few years to keep abreast of the latest educational opportunities.
In the Art Department, Mr. Gardner, a well-known sculptor, offers such varied courses as mechanical drawing, oil and water color painting, sculpture, and ceramics. Mr. Gardner's own pet project is stained glass works, an art which is almost forgotten today. He works with a small group of boys who are interested and instructs them in the intricate technique of binding the pieces of glass with strips of lead. He also holds a course in anatomy from the viewpoint of the artist. Along with other subjects such as etching and clay modeling, the series of courses inaugurated by Mr. Gardner through his vast experience are an invaluable asset to the Williston curriculum.
In the Manual Arts Department, Mr. Richmond has had to accommodate an ever-increasing interest among the students. There are the regular manual arts courses for the lower classes, and the shop is open daily to those who wish to work during their own free time. This year has seen a great number of useful products, such as bookcases and coffee tables, created in the shop. The manual arts shop has become, in addition to a formal classroom, a center for boys wishing to pass a free moment constructively.
Under the direction of Mr. Goss, the Music Department has taken great strides in the past few years. Music is required as a minor course for the lower classes. There is also a fully accredited Advanced Course for those boys who have taken a serious interest in music and want to learn more about the different styles of music and the method of writing music. In the Science Building are several soundproofed rooms in which boys may practice and further their study of music.

First Cum Laude Candidates Elected
The Cum Laude Society was founded at the Tome School in 1906 by Dr. Abram W. Harris, at that time Director of the Institute. Dr. Harris was determined that scholastic achievement should be accorded at least as much recognition in schools as was given to all other activities, and he envisioned a Society on the secondary school level, modeled on Phi Beta Kappa, which should encourage and reward the scholar.
Each Chapter of Cum Laude may elect as members those students of the senior class in any academic course who have had an honor record up to the time of election and stand in the first fifth of the class, choosing (a) the whole number at the end of the senior year, or (b) not more than the first tenth of the class at any time during the senior year and the remainder at the end of the senior year. The members above are the first tenth of the Williston Chapter elected in February.
To give an insight into the character of the society, we quote the induction speech:
"You have had an honorable record in your studies and a good character during your school course, and in recognition of this you have been elected to membership in the Cum Laude Society. The future success and influence of the Society depend in some measure upon your loyalty to the ideals which it maintains. Be true to these ideals and to the trust now shared with you. Nourish the love of sound learning, and make wisdom and truth the guides of your life. Let the honor this Society has conferred upon you urge you to increased diligence and greater endeavor in the pursuit of knowledge. We have a goodly heritage in the treasures of the past, and it is our duty to make our contribution to the present and to the future. We owe it to our country and to humanity to encourage letters and learning, and to carry forward the standard of truth and righteousness."
A"Now on the other hand, take this blotter for instance. Do you understood what I mean, Mike? Academically speaking, of course."
"Stand up, sit fight, fight."
• Hamp and Burnham Schools give night dance. atmosphere to a Saturday
And Then There Is The Lighter Side
In the busy hustle and bustle of the Williston campus there are moments when coming exams or tomorrow's homework are forgotten as the students find a moment of relaxation, a brief respite from the steady pace of education. To sit a moment for a chat, to play a few hands of cards, to listen to the top ten, or to wait breathlessly for your date at the Student Council dance — this is the lighter side of Williston life.
Then there is a source of never-ceasing interest in the three surrounding girls' schools: Northampton School for Girls, Mary A. Burnham School, and MacDuffie School. Dances are held regularly with these schools, and a repre-
sentative body of students journeys to Northampton every Sunday afternoon to visit the "one and only."
The three lower classes have a somewhat different program than the Seniors and Upper Middlers, for they are required to attend a movie every Saturday night, unless there is a dance for this group or a home basketball game. The upperclassmen entertain themselves during their free time in a great variety of ways. Nevertheless, this side of Williston life is as important as any other and is looked forward to among the fun-loving students as a needed change of pace.

Extensive Work Job Program
An important part of life at Williston is the work job program, for this program benefits the school in many ways. Through these work jobs the boys help to maintain the upkeep and appearance of their school.
A major part of the work done by the students is in the kitchen and dining hall. Each boy who is not a kitchen worker must wait on tables for three consecutive meals approximately once a week. The boy is responsible for bringing the food from the kitchen and, after waiting on the table, for setting it. A select number of boys, who work in the kitchen, are exempt from waiting on and have no other work job. These boys operate the dishwashers, dry dishes, clean pitchers, and carry on a host of other scullery tasks.
There are many other ways a boy may work. Each morning the boys are responsible for cleaning their own rooms, and then each room is inspected by the boy's student councilors. Each student who does
"Does the napkin go on the right side, or is it the left?"
"I don't know how the boys can set up the tables the way they do."
Develops Boys' Responsibility
not work in the kitchen has a daily work job. In these tasks the students clean the classrooms, sweep the walks, or pick up papers. The rooms in the Science Building, Schoolhouse, and Library are swept, dusted, and made orderly each day.
So that the work jobs are done properly, Job Assembly was instituted this year. Each morning the school meets in the Auditorium, and the students who have done their work jobs improperly are requested to stand and are cautioned by the President of the Student Council. As a disciplinary measure for minor infractions, the hour board was also created this year to replace bounds. Each day after lunch, a boy who has an "hour" works for one hour at tasks varying from raking leaves to shoveling snow or cutting grass.
The work job program is designed to help the student become a contributing, responsible member of the school community and achieves its purpose admirably.

Prominent Seniors spend the afternoon watching the baseball game.
Through Heaven And
The 1960 Senior Prom was an outstanding success in all respects. Jon Fitts, the Prom chairman, and Steve Herbits, the decoration chairman, and the other members of the Prom committee deserve a great deal of credit for making this Prom such a successful social highlight. Their selection of the theme, "Dancing Through Heaven and Hades," was one of the most unusual in recent years. The Recreation Center was divided into two elaborately decorated sections, representing Heaven and Hades.
The girls arrived at two o'clock on Saturday afternoon. An unusually large number of girls from MacDuffie, Northampton, and Burnham Schools attended the dance. Most of the couples spent the afternoon watching the various athletic contests played at "This looks rather dubious to me."
"Well, '60 was a good year for hockey."

Dancing to Pat Dorn's orchestra began at eight. The boys were decked out in sundry formal dress such as white, blue, red, and Madras dinner jackets. Many faculty relived their younger years by attending, and Mr. Couch was even said to have dated a Smith girl.
This was Pat Dorn's third consecutive appearance at Williston Proms. Miss Candy Bassik, escorted by Senior Kit Scripps, was selected Queen of the 1960 Prom from a large number of very attractive girls. Four ladies in waiting were also chosen. The dancing was concluded at twelve, and the enjoyable evening ended at 12:15 with Mr. A. L. Hepworth's exclamation, "Jeekers! My soul! Good night! Desist!"

THE SNACK BAR
Because of Williston's location the boys have ready access to downtown Easthampton and also can travel to Northampton several times a week. They deal daily with the local merchants whether it be for a haircut, a box of cookies, or a new shirt. Spending time in one of the nearby towns, meeting people, and dealing with the local business men are integral parts of Williston life. These people, in their turn, have reciprocated by supporting the Yearbook, and to them we extend our appreciation.
