In fact, THE ANNUAL has Q35 come to stay. That T HE ANNUAL has been immediately popular A- T' with the school, we have never for one moment doubted, and that it has been difhdently regarded by the Alumni, in view of their having 'put away childish things, xve have, unfortunately, never been able to overlook. This year, we are toldby the prophets, will see the last ANNUAL, and if you ask why, they will shake their heads and murmur, Unobody left to get it out, but that is pure fiction and this is a preface. THE ANNUAL is, in some ways, the last will and testament of the out-going Sixth Form, in fact, it is among these pages that you of the Sixth will first see yourselves registered as Alumni, and Whenever your particular achievements are spoken of during the coming year, THE ANNUAL will be dragged out and your 'fnames and years spelled by the unlettered Muse will be pointed out, pored over and admired. lvith the publication of this volume new kids and first yearers are about to disappear into the rank and file of the school and next September, when others have taken their places, they will confidently assure each other that there never was such a fresh bunch. We are loath to end this preface, partly because we have been instructed to make it long and partly because We don't like feeling that one more thing is finished for the last time. VVe can't quite say Good-bye to the Sixth, much as Weld like to, because We are going with them, and next year's ANNUAL Will not be of our Writing. We are most grateful to the faculty, Where unbiased judgment has been necessary they have willingly supplied it. This We hope will heap coals of fire on some of their heads, for it has required some little persistance, plenty of tact and a good supply of verbal argument to persuade one or two, nevertheless, We are most grateful and take this opportunity of expressing our thanks. For photographs and volunteer offers of Work, We acknowledge our in- debtedness. As for your verdict on glancing through this volume we ask no quarter. And novv our story is done. - 1 . 1.

Prefect Sixth Form Corridor. An- swers to his hrst name John occasionally varied to Johnnie. He will enter Yale. John was voted the best student and 'Lbiggest fusserf' by the sixth. Honest John is a short, but true characterization. From the day when, years ago, he first attracted notice by the vigor with which he took mud baths at Watertoxvn, in the football game against Taft, till now, he has never failed us. He is not fond of Baseballg but, if his skill in the game is disappointing, his remarks upon it leave nothing to be desired. He is an amateur actor of no mean merit and a rising vocalist. Rumor has it that John was once on time for breakfast. 18 ARTHUR FARWELL TUTTLE, Lake Forest, Ill. Born June 26, 1892. Entered School Sep- tember, 1906.

V:-:V HE Westminster News has, during the present school year, 'reached a ' very high standard of excellence. At no time in its somewhat checkered career has its appearance been more prompt and consistent with the assurances given out before its irst issue by the Business Manager. 5 The arrangement in four columns, smaller type and a weekly calendar add much to the character of the paper and create a very good first impressionuwhich is both necessary and effective. The management has been enterprising, and if we are to believe our muck rakers is successful financially. To Francis Sweet, the Editor-in-Chief, great credit is due, for filling the present paper with well-written matter, and having overcome the difficulty of getting a small board to do a large work, by electing several new Editors. His own individual work in editorials, in recasting the work of the Editors, and in inter- preting the jottings of the business manager has been of great value to The News. While the management offered opportunity by enlarging The News, the Editors were able to make good with only an occasional filler, The faculty did their duty by publishing a special number, the Sixth Form contributed with but little urging, the editors when hard pressed by their task- master worked a little, while Sweet and the management worked overtime, and the result has been a new standard in N ews journalism and enterprise.

IQILBRETH HE Review has, in the past year, produced a greater number of stories W and editorials than heretofore, and has abolished the department of exchange criticism. While the first step has met with universal ap- proval, the second has provoked a storm of argument and invective from contemporary publications who still profess to believe in the inestimable good to be derived from such remarks as Arlington, your stories are clever. But this is a digression. The Review has come to a high literary standard and deserves credit for the unusual number of stories, the editorials on vital rather than on general topics, and the occasional effort to clothe old truths in the garments of the present. There has been a decided lack of hesitancy and reticence in the editorial Work and a growing tendency to cease calling a spade a garden imple- ment. There has come to be a characteristic degree of fineness to Review Work, in all departments that distinguishes it and it is this standard that We look forward to in next year's board. 33 SNITCH BOARD 34- Uhr mvaiminater Uri-mvrklg Sanitrh Board of Editors N.

Added to this belief there was the thought that Graft in a more or less numerous disguise existed in several school organizations. This they proposed to expose. After two Weeks' excitement, heated debates and discussions, the Hrst issue arrived. The News management bought a copy and hid. The second issue was printed on yellow paper, thereby revealing the char- acter of its contents. Shitch and Rezfaliatm' took issue and made issues of many school policies and Were invariably on opposite sides of the fence.

Strobel, was issued with the purpose of refuting the statements and aims of The Snitch. It was immensely popular with the younger ele- ment, ovving to its defiance of the so-called New Rulesw and its inti- mation that definite steps would be taken against them. By saying that The Rezfczliator was popular with the younger element We do not mean to say that it lacked supporters in the upper school, for this was not the caseg in fact, if a vote of the school had been taken The Remliator would have scored a triumph. The hrst issue was most successful, bar a small piece of poetry with neither rhyme nor reason. 1 The second issue, however, was suicidal. The Retaliator had overstepped the dead line. The school mourned its decease and The Snitch, loudest of all. Both papers helped to speed the Winter term, both were successful and neither lived long enough to do any harm. 57 lf, ANNUAL BOARD 38 Uhr lmwatminztrr Annual NEXVBOLD NOYES Editor-in-Chief H. E. TUTTLE Editors Business Manager ELTON S. WAYLAND 39 A. F. TUTTLE Uhr mmiminaivr Annual lihitnriul b- T has always been the aim of every school paper to give the school the .554 3 best the Editors can do. This must be accepted as the only basis of criticism. It has been said, There won't be any ANNUAL in 1911, Q35 but think a minute. Vllhoever would venture that remark in regard to our football team? No one,', you say, and why? Because we are going to put a team into the field that shall represent Westininster regardless of accidents, poor material or any other combination of disadvantages. THE ANNUAL must be undertaken in the same spirit and if the result is the best that the Editors can do, they will have succeeded. As the football team is heavier or lighter, better or worse than the year before, so the school papers are larger or less, better edited or worse than in years gone by. We have always been proud of our ability to fall back on substitutes in time of need, knowing that they would fight for Westniinster and do the best they could. And we, the Editors, are sure that THE ANNUAL of 1911, though recruited in the main part from substitutes, will still be a publication to be proud of, a year book that worthily represents the school. -LO Ellie Eliivrarg Chuipnt nf the 135151 Hear f y ORE than once during the past five or six years the question has been asked whether a school of this size could adequately support two O school papers, and proposals have been made from time to time of , L 1 I amalgamating The Review and The News under one board of manage- ment. Such proposals were made during periods of great literary depression and were, we think, justified by the then existing conditions, but no such suggestion could be made now by anyone who has read the school papers during the past year. We have now two excellent school papers and an ANNUAL which appears this year for the third year in succession, and we have also had during the past year two spasmodic literary efforts, which ran in opposition to one another through the dullest period of the winter and which served to amuse us for weeks together. They were not intended to be taken seriously, nor were they published in opposi- tion to the established school literature, but they were produced in addition to, and without doing harm to, the recognized output, and we should not depreciate them merely because they were spasmodic and frivolous, nor consider they served no useful purpose. They served this purpose, viz.: of showing there existed in the school a surplus or reserve of literary energy and possibility, which the school papers had not exhausted. Nor are The Snitch and The Reifaliatovf the solitary evidences of this reserve of literary energy. The public press has recognized the abilities of two members of this school by accepting their contributions for pub- lication. We do not desire to embarrass these youthful authors by any further mention of their work than to say that any school in this country of twice the size of ours would be proud - and justly so -e to be able to include one such suc- cessful author among its students. -l-1 The satisfactory condition of our school papers is due, we think, to two causes: the literary calibre of the boys in charge of the papers and the definite plan or policy they have adopted in running them. It may be said that either of these causes by itself should be sufficient, but this is not so. For a few boys to possess exceptional literary ability is not to ensure a successful school paper. The paper must be well organized also, advertisements must be secured, and the school as a whole must be interested to write and must be prevented at all costs from leaving all the writing to a small clique whose departure from school, or whose illness, or whose lack of industry may at any time mean failure, owing to no provision having been made for filling their places. The safeguard against the ill-results of too much centralization is organization, and it is the task of Editors- in-Chief to nourish and encourage the struggling and bashful writer as much as it is to write forceful editorials. This task recent Editors-in-Chief have discharged most conscientiously, but although one may lead a horse to the water, one cannot make him drink! and probably more than one Editor-in-Chief has experienced the truth of this adage and the enthusiasm that has greeted him upon first under- taking his new duties and which filled him with hope, has too often by the end of the winter term given place' to a lethargy which has filled him with despair. Yet writing for the school papers is most beneficial and helps us gain a habit of handling English accurately, which is of great value in Examinations. Stories seem in special demand and we believe that the periodical lack of them may be traced more to bashfulness on the part of writers than to paucity of material to write about. One's own experiences seem rather dry and uninteresting when one starts to write them down, but they are full of interest to others, and the tale of an incident that really happened to oneself and which one is more than willing to relate to one's fellows in conversation, will always make an effective skeleton to cover with the flesh of fiction. The great thing is to try. It is universal in schools at the end of each succeeding year to bemoan the departure of certain boys whose influence in the games, the Play, or any other representative department is most clearly recognized. Yet it is almost the uni- 4- versal experience of everyone connected with schools that what appearedat a distance to be a crisis in the history of the school, becomes at close quarters merely an opportunity for someone to arise and fill the gapg and after a few months have passed one is surprised one was so full of fear. Some such terror for the future probably exists throughout the upper portion of the school at the present time and it would be unfair to those who are leaving to attempt to assert their loss will not be most severely felt. Yet the clear-cut policy they leave us of our school papers is an assistance rather than a handicap to next year's Editors and Man- agers, for they have not to create so much as to maintain. They will have en- trusted to their care a well-developed and definite literary plant which merely requires to be kept alive. Let them remember, however, that it is not themselves they will be working for, but for the schoolg and not only for its voice of appro- bation, but for that of the world outside. The danger, then, in the present literary merit of our papers is that we may be inclined to lose our heads in admiring the skill of a few specially industrious or gifted boys and to resign all hope of ever ourselves accomplishing anything equally satisfactory as they have done. In other words, the example of these Tritons of literature may have the effect of discouragement rather than inspira- tion. lf that were the result of their example - and we cannot admit for a moment the likelihood of its being so here at Westiniiister - then it were better to have no stars in anything, lest their example might stifle all attempts both to work well or to play well. Let us rather strive to show those who have set us so high a standard that we appreciate the model they have left us and are eager to take up the gautlets they have relinquished and to enter the lists against the memory of their deeds. -13 Idrizv '-Engng Nzmnlenn Q ONAPARTE, Napoleon, the first Emperor of the French, was born in the year 1769, in the island of Corsica. Thus, a foreigner by birth, he - was destined to lead the arms of France to undying glory and to be ranked by all historians along with Caesar, Hannibal, and Alexander the Great, as the greatest general in the world's history. His parents were of Italian extraction, poor but noble, and while yet young, Bonaparte Was sent to a military school at Brienne, to learn the art of warfare. In 1785 he was appointed sub-lieutenant of artillery in Paris, when only sixteen years of age. In appearance he was short, dark, swarthy, of a typical southern appearance, not handsome until his face filled out in his later years. He was a deep thinker and his powerful imagination enabled him to forsee events to their fullest extent. He was a brilliant speaker, and often fired the minds of his soldiers with his stir- ring addresses before sending them to battle. When Napoleon had reached manhood France was just rising from the throes of the revolution and all public affairs were in chaos and disorder. He first came into prominence at the siege of Toulon, by the newly formed republic, where, for the gallant services he rendered, he was promoted to the rank of brigadier- general. From this time forth he rose rapidly because of his skill in suppressing disorders at Paris, and on the eleventh of March, 1796, he was married to Josephine Beauharnais, and only a few days later he was placed in command of the French 44- forces in Italy. ln a brilliant campaign, lasting about ayear, Napoleon defeated the Austrians at every point, and compelled them to sue for peace, the main con- ditions of which were those that gave France the Rhine as a frontier and the recog- nition by Austria of the newly formed Ligurian and Cisalpine republics. France was, at this time, at war with England, and Napoleon perceived that the way to crush this detested enemy was to sever lndia from her allegiance to Great Britain, and to accomplish this it was necessary that Egypt be brought under French jurisdiction. The Directoire, jumping at the opportunity to rid themselves of their gifted opponent, raised a fine army and placed Napoleon in command. He sailed from Toulon in May, 1798, and reached Alexandria in july. He won a great victory in the battle of the Pyramids, but his fieet was destroyed by Nelson at Abouki. Thus cut off from France he fought several battles against the Turks with varying success, and on the twenty-third of August, 1799, he embarked secretly on a French frigate and sailed for home. During Napoleon's absence in Egypt the Directoire had managed affairs badly and had incited Austria and Prussia to arms against the republic. After several engagements, in which the French were badly defeated, Napoleon arrived upon the scene of action. He was the very one needed to restore the waning fortunes of France, and after a stormy session the Directoire was overthrown and Napoleon was appointed com- mander-in-chief of the French army. He at once gathered the remnants of the army, crossed the Alps and concluded a brilliant campaign by decisively defeating the Austrians at Marengo, and France was saved once more. Returning in triumph, he was appointed dictator, or first consul, and revised the entire French laws, drawing up the Napoleonic code, which has been preserved to this day, All this could lead up to but one termination, and on the second of December, 1804, Napoleon was crowned first Emperor of the French, by the Pope, in the old cathedral of Notre Dame. Now that Napoleon had revised the entire French military system and had done away with the old law that no man might rise from the ranks unless he was a noble, such men as Massena, Soult, Augereau, Murat, and Ney, the bravest 4- of the brave, sprang up, who were in time to become his trusted marshals and to lead the French divisions to victory and honor. Events now followed each other in quick succession. Napoleon's thoughts were naturally directed towards an invasion of Great Britain, but his hopes were quickly dispelled by Nelson's victory at Trafalgar over the combined French and Spanish Heets. Austria and Prussia were again drawn into a coalition against him, but undaunted he led his veterans against the foe, defeated Mack at Ulm, captured 20,000 men, and only a few days later he engaged the allied army at Austerlitz, and with the stirring shout of l'Vive L'EmpereurI the French columns nearly annihilated the enemy and Napoleon had won the greatest victory in his brilliant career. After concluding a hasty peace he led his victorious forces against hostile Prussia, won a double victory at Jena and Auerstadt and in his most brilliant and decisive campaign overran Prussia in a few weeks and entered Berlin on the twenty-seventh of October, 1806. ln the following campaign, however, against the Russians under Benningsen, he was all but defeated in the battle of Eylan, with fearful carnage, but with undaunted courage he came back, won at Friedland and compelled the Czar Alexander to sue for peace. Napoleon had now reached the zenith of his career. Practically all of Europe lay in submission at his feet, and with a veteran army, well equipped and superbly drilled, at his back, he might well look with disdain at any insurrec- tions which might arise. With Alexanderhe formed plans for crushing England by closing all ports to her trade, and he was just on the point of subduing Spain thoroughly when he was called back to France by pressing needs. Austria had de- clared war on France for the fourth time. T he fate of the empire hung in the bal- ance, but Napoleon again, as at Austerlitz, demonstrated his marvellous ability by crushing the foe in the desperate battle of Wvagram and France was saved once more. Une great question confronted Napoleon at this period of his career: VVho was to succeed him and govern his magnificent empire? Josephine could give him no son, so he very unjustly divorced her and married Louise of Austria, in 1809. -L6 Notwithstanding their recent treaty, the Emperor and the Czar were drifting farther and farther apart, and the crisis came to a point Where Napoleon entered Russia in the summer of 1812, at the head of a ine army of 500,000 men. He won a great victory at Borodino and contemplated wintering at Moscow, but the Russians burned the time-honored old city and Napoleon, confronted by a Rus- sian winter and with his army greatly reduced, began the memorable retreat. After terrible suffering, the remnants of the Grand Armee reached the frontier, numbering barely 30,000, a mere skeleton of the splendid army which had marched into Russia the preceding summer. Napoleon's veterans had been annihilated. Prussia and Austria rose in rebellion against him and all seemed lost, but the Emperor, hurrying back to Erance, conscripted an army and marched against the Prussians. He won two victories at Lutzen and Balltzen, but as the revolt spead all over Europe, his troops lost heart. Raw recruits were not of the same calibre as his old veterans and though they fought desperately at Leipzic, the day turned against the Eench, and Napoleon was forced to retreat across the Rhine and stand on the defensive. The Allies followed him, and once again Napoleonls wonderful energy came to the front and for a while, he held the foe at bay. Strik- ing here and there with varying success, but his army was too weak to be able to cope successfully with the large forces of the enemy, and at last, urged on by the entreaties of his friends and generals, he abdicated on the 111th of April, 18111, and concluded a peace with the allies, whereby he received the island of Elba to live on and an annual income of 2,000,000 francs. Napoleon, however, driven on by his own active spirit, could not remain within Elba's restricted limits and thinking the time favorable, he fled from the island on Eebruary 25th, 1815, and landed in France shortly afterwards. Be- ginning his march to Paris, he was joined by his old soldiers at every pointg the Bourbons were compelled to flee from the capital and on the 20th of March, Napoleon entered Paris, attended by tumultuous applause. He quickly gathered an army and prepared to oppose the Prussian and British armies, which instantly marched against him. At Ligny, near the Belgian frontier, he defeated the former 4 under Blucher. A few days later he met the Duke of Wellington in the ever- memorable battle of Wate1'loo. .All day long, it raged and the British seemed to be Winning, when Napoleon sent regiment after regiment of his best troops to stem the tide. But all was in vain, and evening saw the British in possession of the field and the French in headlong retreat. Napoleon Was subsequently captured and sent to the island of St. Helena, Where after six years of Weary exile, he passed away on May Sth, 1821, of cancer. His last Wish Was to be buried in France and many years later his body Was dis- interred, transported to France and buriedin the magnificent tomb of the lnvalides in the city Which he ruled so long.

HULL TEAM Dick 7 Kilbreth Hull Cromwell Williams Strobel Hart D. Cassarcl Uhr Gram ' O one who reviewed the football material of 1909 previous to the opening F 'A 'i game was encouraged by the outlay. Few held out much hope after the Berkshire game and yet the team proved a winning team and the season far from being a failure, was a victory. True, it was a dis- appointment to lose to Taft, yet the no-score game with Pomfret realized in a measure our highest hopes. ll Of the backfield, Qsborn was undoubtedly the most valuable player, His game was fast and hard. In the opening game, on the offense he showed to greatest advantage and his end runs and plays, outside of tackle, were hard to stop and instrumental in scoring power. Un the defense he was no less successful and was one of the most aggressive men on the team. His tackling, while not so low as last year, was hard and sure. Noyes was given fewer opportunities to carry the ball on the offense but proved a runner of no mean ability. End runs were his strongest plays and he was rarely stopped with less than a five-yard gain. As a line forcer, he was un- certain, but once free, he was a hard man to catch. His fumbles on the offense were costly and were his most serious fault. In the catching and running back of kicks he was sure and fast. Holt, at full-back, was effective for short gains and was certain in handling the ball. He hit the line low and hard, but was often unable to keep his feet. Holt's tackling on the defense proved the most valuable feature of his game. He threw his man hard and was the surest tackle on the team. Smith, from quarter-back's position, ran the team well and used good judg- ment in the majority of games. As a runner he was too slow in getting started and was unable to follow his interference. His lack of experience handicapped him at 78 critical moments and he was unable to pick the most effective play. Too much, however, cannot be said of his work in the secondary defense. He was one of the hardest men to block and nailed his man in a clean-cut way that was material in taking the ball on downs. Dodge, though the lightest man on the field, guarded his end well and forced the plays into the line. His tackles in the open field were low and calculated to bring down the heaviest players. Though this was his first year with the team, he played a brilliant game. Kilbreth, at left tackle, was an able general and the hardest player in the line. He was into every play and his tackles and underpunts were examples of his ability to follow the ball. An injury to his rib which occured before the Pomfret game somewhat weakened his playing ability, but his presence was felt and his aggressiveness a constant encouragement. Hull, owing to a bad knee, was out most of the middle season, but re- covered in time to play a hard and defensive game against Taft. There was no evidence of his inexperience in this game and he outplayed some of the older mem- bers of the team. Cromwell, at center, played his usual hard-working game and was a big factor in stopping mass plays. His experience more than made up for his lack of weight and his passing was excellent. His ability to follow the ball resulted in a number of captured fumbles. Willianis played through his second year with the team. His ability to open holes was uncertain, but his weight and low plunging helped greatly in defensive work. Strobel's work on offensive and defensive was even better this year than last. He developed a strength in opening holes that he lacked last year and was clever in breaking through for a tackle behind his opponents, line. His work in capturing fumbles was invaluable and his knowledge of the game a great advantage. 79 Hart made a good team-mate for Dodge and Was excellent in making inter- ference and in tackling underkicks. He developed a proficiency in drop-kicking, but was rarely called upon to use it. M. Cassard was used as guard and full-back. As a guard he was Weak, but in carrying the ball and in keeping his feet he was most successful. He was nervous in handling the ball and frequently fumbled. Hoagland, though lacking experience, showed great staying power. His Work was free from nervousness and his Weight and strength proved their Worth on the 5 -yard line in the game with Pomfret. D. Cassard Was fast at end and Was the best man on the field in the handling of the forward pass. His tackles Were hard but he failed to hold his man. As a runner in the field, he was the best dodger on the team. Dick, though not a candidate for the team until the Week before the Pom- fret game, played hard and made up in strength what he lacked in experience. i A Wi il' if , I if Z' L Nl - , vi.. :fs 115 ., -. , , - . f 7 ?1: fJf P- 145 ' ' . 4 ' f ,, N. s 'W rg, 3 g' ,z-.1':'fg:Z-Fgjmf515-1.3 '-'f5Q7 !'l.-Q 'fl-1W'1?ff1E?111?'E2ugE.sii.t.12 1,1 . -, .

TAFT 80 llvhivm nf Ihr Zliunthexll Seaman 1: HE past season has been a pleasant surprise, in spite of one disappoint- ment. At the beginning of every season there is a good deal of doubt about the chances of the team, and this year there seemed to be reason for doubt. Things did look discouraging. The heaviest candidate weighed 150, and most of them were well under 140. The first game seemed to confirm our fears. This game, with Berkshire, was won by the narrow margin of 6-5, as compared with a victory of 44-O the preceding year. But the next game showed great improvement. Our team, by the score of 10-O, defeated the Kent School team, which had beaten Berkshire 35-0. The line, in spite of the lack of weight, played so fast and got the jump on its oppo- nents so regularly that little consistent gaining was done through it. In the back- field the speed of Noyes and Osborn began to show itself, as yet not very well supported by interference. But in later games the interference improved, and the charging of the line became more and more low and Herce. Against the much heavier Pomfret team, Westminster managed to hold their oponents from scoring, though failing to score themselves. In this game they showed a fault which later in the season cost them dear, - a tendency to fumble. This tendency showed itself especially whenever they had their oppo- nents on the run and seemed likely to score. The Taft game was a disappointment. The Westminster team handled their heavier opponents very well, doing about as well as Taft, both in running the ball and in punting. But Taft won the game mainly by superior coolness. Taft used what tricks they had at the right time and ran them off in good shape. Westminster failed even to try many of their effective plays. Taft did little fumbling, and none at critical moments, while Westminster fumbled when fumbling S1 Was suicidal. So they lost by their nervousness a game which they might perhaps have saved. But the season still remains a proof of the sand and energy displayed by the team in playing against odds. A remark overheard by the Writer just at the close of the season may help to illustrate the value of clean play in football. The remark was made to a seat- mate in a trolley car by one of the officials of the game just passed. That's the second game l've officiated in for Westminster' this year, he said, and I haven't had to inflict a yard of penalty on them yet. Some of the games during the season clearly demonstrated that clean football pays, and that a light team that plays nothing but football is more than a match for a heavier one that tries tactics not included in the rules. Most of this team graduate in the spring. They have been playing football in the school for three, four or five years. Many of them started on the third and fourth teams and Worked up from year to year. Eight of them Won their VV for the irst time this fall. But all of them have shown the same spirit on What- ever team theylplayed, and can feel that the present season ends for them an honorable record in Westminster football, 82 w P 1 . I L 7 . A x .

Bartlett Osborn Bissell iliruivm nf the Zfzuirhall Svvzmnn T the time of writing, several of the games of the schedule of 1910 N have not been played. But so far as the season has gone, it seems likely to be remembered chiefly for two games, those with Hotchkiss and with Stone. The Hotchkiss game, although a defeat, was more satisfactory than many of our victories. lt was good to measure up with the team of a much larger school and to ind that they could claim very little superiority. ln fact, Westminster showed distinctly better fielding, the one factor that decided the outcome was the pitching of Brown of Hotchkiss. He allowed only two hits, and the errors of the fielders did not come at times critical enough to allow a score. Smith pitched an excellent game for Westminster. He allowed only six hits, but these combined with a couple of errors and some good base running by Hotch- kiss netted them four runs. The best single play of the game was furnished by Gillette. With one man out and a man on first and third he headed off a single grounder, touched the man running to second, and threw to Childs on first, in time to complete a double. Tuttle and Childs hgured in another double, resulting from a caught foul. The game with Stone was the most exciting seen here since the Pomfret game of last year. Like that game the score was 4 to 3, but this time it required eleven innings to settle it. lt was not a cleanly played game, as errors were frequent, but it was full of excitement. VVe obtained the lead in the third inning, lost it in the sixth, tied the score in the seventh, and finally won in the eleventh. Tuttle and Gillette again furnished the fielding feature. Tuttle made two very pretty stops, one of which resulted in an out, while on the other, Smith dropped S6 the throw. Gillette especially shone in handling short flies. One catch which he made in right field was particularly difhcult. At bat, Bartlett was the star. He secured three clean hits out of four times at the bat and reached his base the other time. He also made two out of the four runs. In considering the individual players, Captain Osborn naturally comes first. He has filled his new position as catcher with good success. His throw, though powerful, was at hrst erratic, but seems now under control. He does the back-stop work in a reliable manner, and is very quick and sure in covering short bunts. His batting is not so good as last year because he is swinging too hard. This is shown by the fact that most of his hits are for extra bases. On the bases he is fast as ever, and his speed and quick judgment brought in the winning run against Stone. Except for the game in which he threw his arm out, Childs has pitched excellent ball. His control is usually very good, he has speed when he lets it out, while his curves and his underhand ball are worrying to the batter. He has also been batting consistently. His three-base hit was a feature of the Stone game, while he secured one of the two hits against Hotchkiss. Smith has pitched well in the games in which he has figured in the box. ln the game with the Yale scrubs, he went in with the bases full after Childs had thrown his arm out, and held them down to one run in that inning, and no score in the rest of the game. On hrst his work has been fair. He is not absolutely reliable in holding throws, and in the Stone game, he let in two runs by missing a grounder. He atoned for this by driving in the winning run. Gillette has not been up to his last yearls standard. The injury to his ankle early in the season and the consequent loss of practice set him back, es- pecially in batting. But there seems reason to hope that by the Taft game, he will be in form again. His fielding is improving and in the last game was as good as ever. 87 Beebe at shortstop has had a lot of trouble vvith grounders. He seems to be unable to judge them and to take the Wrong bound very often. On Hy balls, he is good, and captures some vvell out in the field. Tuttle plays agood game on third. His Work is marred by occasional moments of absent-mindedness. When he is really in the game, he fields cleverly and throws beautifully. He is only moderately good at the bat. Of the outfielders, Bartlett looks best. He is batting very strongly, and is a heady base-runner. Noyes is very fast, and is becoming a good outfielder, He seems to have lost much of the bunting ability which he displayed during the Hrst of the season. Un the bases, however, he is almost unstopable. Dodge is a reliable fielder, but is weak at the bat. Of the substitutes, Hoagland is an excellent batter, but is too slow to do vvell in the field. X Strobel ields Well, but is poor at batting. Bissell occupies a middle position both in batting and fielding. The interest for the remainder of the season centers, of course, on the Taft game. That Taft should roll up much of a score is unlikely. The struggle is apt to resolve itself into a question of Whether the Westrninster batters can hit the Taft pitcher. If they can connect With reasonable frequency they ought to vvin. That question will be settled very soon. A victory over Taft Will round out a very successful season. Since this Writing, the baseball season has come to a close with the victory over Taft. 88 ilinnthall Svrnrvz Westminster, Berkshire, Westminster, Choate, Westminster Kent, Westminster Salisbury, Westminster Pomfret, Westminster Cheshire, Westminster Taft, Totals : - - Westminster, 61 Opponents, 16 Eanrhall Srnrvz 19111 Westminster, 7 Windsor Looks, 6 Westminster, 7 C.

Hoagland Uhr Alumni Binnvr 9 N Saturday evening, December llth, the Athletic and Alumni Dinner Eg j was held at the school. xlrj Supper was served at six o'clock for the younger boys, and 193195344 for those who had not yet distinguished themselves in some branch of athletics. After supper, according to the custom, the new boys and those who had not previously made speeches on similar occasions were given an opportunity to show their oratorical ability. The subjects were well fitted for the speakers, having been chosen by a committee of boys who went through the same ordeal last year. Ml-low to be a rogue,', Why do they call me a Gibson Girlf, '4What it means to have a big brother,', and Where I learned to play baseball, were among the topics. After rambling aimlessly on for a short time amid cries of Oh, say something! and Come on, you're not a statue! they were considered sufficiently humbled. At quarter past eight the dinner proper began. Finally the toastmaster, I. G. Kilbreth, announced the first speaker of the evening, G. L. Smith, on The Business of Diversion. Considering the fact that he was the first speaker, his delivery was commendable, in spite of an apparent desire to get through as soon as possible, while the speech itself showed careful preparation, as the following extract will show: Diversion, although many people argue to the contrary, plays a very important part in a boy's education, not only in character moulding and physical development, but also as a large factor in his mental training .... There is some truth, no doubt, in the parents' statement that more time should be spent in study and less in the pursuit of athletic and dramatic honors, but surely a sane 94, mind in a sane body are the requisites of a well-developed man, and how would these be obtained by devoting the greater part of our leisure time to study and letting the other pursuits go? . . . But it seems to me that the one benefit greater than all others is the donlt-quit-if-you,re-beaten spirit that results from good football. lt is this that helps you in after life not to stop when beaten once, but to work and to slave until the goal is inally reached. I. C. Hoagland, VV. '07, then responded on his Alma Mater, Cornell. He brought before us a very vivid picture of the delightful fraternity life at Ithaca. The next speaker was Newbold Noyes, on f'The Age of the Boy, a defense of our age limit regulation. A very carefully prepared speech was in this case delivered with true dramatic ability, and his production ranked among the best of the evening. N ine years ago it was decided that the school must have an age limit - that is, that no boy was allowed to enter after having completed his fourteenth year. The scheme worked well. From then until today we have built our own boys .... Today the age limit is criticized on account of our athletics. tThe age limit,' so goes the argument, 'has turned out a lighter and younger team than has ever before represented West1ninster.' And it's all true. Yet thorough coaching for three, four and even five years, backed by the spirit of working for Westminster and not personal glory, partly offsets the loss of brawn. And this spirit which has always been predominant in Westminster's teams could not exist were it not for the fact that each boy had learned it in the years that went before. A. M. Hyde, W. '07, was then called upon to represent Harvard. He described the great freedom that is enjoyed at Cambridge, and explained that the Harvard idea in athletics is to play the game for the game's sake - not primarily to win. R. K. Hawes, W. '06, speaking on the subject f'Yale, related several interesting personal experiences, and gave us an excellent idea of life in New Haven. 95 Mr. L. G. Pettee then described his Work, informing the teams which have represented Westminster so Well in the last few years in spite of the apparent restriction of the age limit. p Professor Phelps of Yale, one of the original members of our faculty, held his listeners convulsed with laughter With an account of his first experience as a teacher, when Westminster was founded at Dobbs Ferry, and gave a delightful sketch of the first year of our school's existence. At length Mr. Cushing arose and expressed his pleasure at seeing so many of the alumni again, and, With a cheer for Mr. Pettee, one of the most successful banquets ever held on William's hill was brought to a close. wh H' 7 Pell ' 1 1 I jx ,I ' I J lx jwf 'Iliff M f I .' 1 , 5 ' , .l Tfl fj ... . l .-- U A I ' nit? - m,xNi?irsfi '22n Su , . ,lil ' ,I- LQ T L jf.-9' .

However, the seed has been sown and has not fallen on barren ground, as is evi- denced by enthusiastic messings in the dark room, thoroughly photographic but seldom productive of good results. Two exhibits have been held both producing some excellent pictures, but disappointing in the lack of numbers. The work of the Club, next year, should show a decided improvement and will undoubtedly provide the N ews and ANNUAL with good athletic snapshots. 97 f .f-:-:-19, Xwpsn Mx s wr ,- rf, xy w..,,.n-A .Q Av v,,..,.w-:zw-.v Wnmw K .

F. NEAVE 101 1512115 riiirizm H OOKTNG back at the 'Westminster play at this time and distance, the g- lasting impression is of the team Work Which carried the efforts of all who took part, seen or unseen, to the fullest measure of success. The A Flying Pilln acts better than it readsg a comment that will mean no disparagement to a Writer of Mr. Cushing's experience and accurate judgment of theatrical perspective. lt was evidently Written With careful con- sideration of the capabilities and temperaments of his large company and after the many rehearsals of the Winter term, the performances Went with a brilliancy quite amazing to an outsider familiar with the amiable mediocrity of amateur productions and the frequent misfits of the professional stage. There is a clear dividing line, of course, between the best possibilities of amateur Work and the proficiency which comes only with special training and the sacrifice of many things. Dickens, who was himself a good amateur, used to say that after a long experience he had come to Wonder, not that the professionals sometimes did it badly, but that theveriest barnstormer of them did it so well. But subject to this Well understood limitation, there is little fear of saying too much in appreciation of the players or the play. The audience quickly came to realize the solidarity of the Whole effort, and if any fond mother felt the suffocat- ing leap of her doting heart as jack or Dick or Billy came on for his maiden turn, she soon settled comfortably back to follovv the story and enjoy the fun. And very good fun it Was, this queer little tale of classic dreams and modern predicaments, Hcreamed togetherf' as your cook would say, with something very like a modern love story, peppered With quips and skits and served up in a revel of music and motion and color that never flagged or vvearied during the whole merry three hours. 102 G. L. SMITH 103 And it may be said right here that the illusions of the story were kept from start to finish and never given up to the scoring of any particular turn. This is the team work that has served Westrninsteic in many a hard tussle and it must have been fine to feel the old plan work out so handsomely in this far different field. The incidental music, songs and choruses from new operas that have yet to be heard here, were a tuneful and well-chosen lot, and Mr. Dinsmore had made them seem so much a part of the story that it was a surprise to find the lyrics at the back of the book and to realize that it made no claim to be an opera at all. If anything should be said by way of criticism, it is that the tempo in many of the choruses might have been hurried up, even in a rest cure and with all respect to Mr. DePigeon's ideas of local color. Only highly trained chorus people are up to the strain of slow tempo and professional leaders rarely hesitate to sieze the advan- tage of a galloping refrain. The setting of the play was altogether charming, each of the two sets as complete and artistic as could be wished, and how the walls and galleries of the Restaurancia courtyard, with their solid practicable doors and floors and stairways, were spirited away in such utter silence, was a mystery itself. Coming to the players, one hesitates to speak of individual achievement in the face of such frank dedication of everybody's talents to the general result, but still we must not lose sight of the fact that these plays serve a purpose beyond the mere pleasure of getting them up: they are the best and about the only school of expression and performance in the long years of study, when it seems to be the one duty of life to devour, assimilate and absorb. They do, or they should, bring the performer to a quick conviction of his sins against the long suffering English language, -- sins of o- and com-mission, as the praying parson put it, -and make him a partner with his professional brethren in the good work of its preser- vation. They should, and they generally do, bring home to him with a rush the realization that God gave man hands before he had trousers pockets to wear them ing and more than all, if the spark of art is in him, he sees that it is a finer thing to create a living character, to enrich and perfect it with his thought and talent 1041 ACT II. KILBRETH AND STROBEL 105 ACT II. KILBRETH AND JENNINGS 106 CLOSE OF ACT II 107 and study and add it to the world of golden memories, than to exploit himself in the first person, however agreeable and clever. The Westminster players seemed to catch this spirit very generally, and naturally the female characters caught it most completely, because they had no choice in the matter. They were all good, wonderfully good, and it will be no reflection on any of them to say that Neave as Princess Julianna was best of all, for besides the personal qualities which enable him to enter without fear into the dread realm of petticoats, his clear and delicate speech and intonations, his ade- quate conception of the character and constant care of its illusions all combined to a beautiful and remarkable result g and when in the fullness of time, with dusky chin and rumbling bass, he tells the tale to his unbelieving family, he will know that he did nevertheless once have the unique honor to add another to our bright memories of fair women of the stage. As Mrs. Figg and Mrs. Candy, Jennings and Easton sustained the parts cleverly and brought out the temperamental antipathies of the two ladies without losing a single chance, while Dodge, who had been a very demure Honoria in the pursuit of her hoped-for marquis, must have found a tongue in her high-heeled slippers and became so eloquent and convincing in the little dance in the Second Act, that the audience had to have it again and again. Another graceful little performance was that of Leonard Jacob, whose Irish Maggie played Spanish Teresa, a part within a part, without slight to either and left the well-curb lonely when she had gone. Coming down to mere man, as Miss Harrid would say, it was hard to find Kilbreth in the classic and garrulous Professor Figg. His was naturally the chief comedy character, and so well was it conceived and wrought out in the almost continuous lines and action which fell to him that he is fairly entitled to whatever laurels can ind room on his already well-decorated brow. Smith, as Prince Otto, had an altogether different task, and brought to it an agreeable stage presence and a voice of unusual dramatic color, which made him, through all the vagaries of his 108 ACT III 109 accidental pipe-dream, the natural foil and complement of his clear eyed princess 5 so that it would have seemed a thousand pities' if Rudolf of Bragantz had ever got the job. Strobel, Chandler, Noyes, and the rest were clever, painstaking and successful according to their opportunities and no one of them could have been spared. ' The kids, both frocked and trousered, were a delight, first, last and all the time. Nobody will forget Cato, the pontifex, and his Worldly sister, nor the unbridled Candys and the fetching little quintet on the stairs. Space, fails to speak adequately of the happy chorus, the mandolins of Restraurancia and the pink percherons of the pony balletg but it would never do to close Without mention of Peter Hobbs, Detective, a short and not very impor- tant part, but Which, in the hands of Gillette Cwas it John or Williain ?D, turned out such a finished and highly colored bit of acting as made one Wish he had come on earlier in the play. 110 J 1 Ex P11211 I mi? .2111 E ,.

N25 ,, .-G ,Q W We have been especially fortunate in that no voices have changed during the year. . i The last Friday of the fall term, the Choir sang the Christmas Cant ta, The Coming of the King, by Dudley Buck. ln this work there is a very difiicu tv! fugue which the Choir sang in good style. They have also learned several Anthems, Te Deums, Iubilates, Chants, Hymns, etc., during the year, which has meant lots of work and of course lots of time ta.ken out of play hours. The lack of a regular hour for rehearsals has always been a serious handicap so we have had to use the spare minutes here and there whenever we could find them. The hymn singing of the past year has shown a marked improvement over the previous year. Most hymns are now sung in parts which has helped as much as anything else to improve the sight reading. The music of the play, while not of the classical type, did a great deal to stimulate an interest that must be felt, in order to make music a success here. There was always plenty of volume and in most of the songs, the quality was good. This year, for the first time, there will be prizes awarded to the two boys, ages respectively above and under fifteen, who have shown the best spirit and worked most faithfully throughout the year. In conclusion, then, the condition of the music in the school is consider- ably more satisfactory than it was a year ago, and the study of music and its acceptance as a recognized school subject is already beginning to bear fruit. 11-.L THE GLEE CLUB 115 . . 9 . . . fm' -3 , 1Sf' nL' 'rx th C nl 3, nie rgeaw - it L82 C it 1 i u it' I A 'saves i ' 315355 C l .Q -my C 5 1:2 .Y PAQ!

The Club has given two concerts, one in the winter term and one in the spring term. The first at the school, 1 and the second in the Casino in the village. The first of these was in many Ways inferior to the second, but showed a marked improvement over the Work of the year before. At this concert, the difficult number of Buck's Hark, the Trumpet Calleth was performed, which Was probably the heaviest Work the Club has yet done. The Stein Song, and 116 THE QUARTETTE 117 Winter Song of Bullard'sg The Beetle and the Flower, by Veitg An Act of Grand Gperaf' by Smith, and many smaller Works Were also performed. In the second concert, much of the above music Was repeated with the addi- tion of De Coppah Moon, by Shelleyg The Bonny Owl, by Little, and Mac- DoWall's Cradle Song which was very creditably sung, in spite of the close har- monies and difficult pianissimo passages. ln both these concerts the Glee Club was assisted by the Mandolin Club, under the able and painstaking leadership of Gurney Smith, and was success- ful in handing over a very helpful sum to the Simsbury Visiting Nursing Asso- ciation as the results of the concert in the Casino on May 14th. fm The Quartette has been composed throughout the year of the samexboys, viz.: H. VV. King, first tenor, J. C. Easton, second tenor 5 N. lNoyes, first and G. L. Smith, second bass. Naturally, one has looked to them for the most finished vocal Work in the school and they have justified their selection to the post of honor, both by their attention to the necessary practices, as well as by the quality of the Work they have produced, which is distinctly creditable.

It Was apparent from the storm of applause which greeted their first selection in the concert given on January 20th, in spite of the fact ' that the mandolins and guitars didn't exactly Work in together, that they would take Rumors had been circulated that there really was such a thing as a Mandolin Club, but it was not Without surprise that the audience in the schoolroom savv a business-like group of boys, armed with mandolins and guitars, tile into the room, and start off on a lively tune. Their Work in the play was Worthy of notice. As Spanish Troubadours in the hotel on the island of Restarauncia, they added a lot of pleasant local color to the scene, and the applause which followed their rendering of Funiculi- Funiculaf' Was Well earned. In the concert given in the Casino, on May 14, they took a conspicuous part, and each of their pieces Was encored. This is the first Mandolin Club formed since the school was moved to Simsbury, and is therefore rather a new venture. judging from its success, this year, it certainly ought to take a prominent place among the various school activities. 120 lk , lit Q QUE ' N.

And I learned, too, in those golden hours that each one has his part Which he must take and carry through, right from the very start. 'Twas then I learned the lesson which some have never learned, That present hours are hours that count, the past have neier returned To give me other chances. Tomorrow? No, today! 1 For tasks undone wax more and more. I must act while I may. Yes, I owe it all to school-days, all my success in life, My college honors, business gains, my sand', in all the strife. My school's tone kept me clear of rocks that show the current's force. It kept me as a pilot guides a ship upon its course. V I'd been shielded from temptation till I hardly felt its lure, I had learned a simple watchword, Be humble and be pure. So when some others stumbled, and some strayed far away, We, loyal to the good old school, kept steady night and day. But we knew we couldn't ever have put up such a fight If we hadn't kept the memory of our school-days fresh and bright. 128 ff 1.4, Q, 1 E V fur. . ' WQV ga- ..

It has always been a success and if it continues to go on in the same spirit it will flourish forever. fx.. If 'N . W All boys love to sleep out, to cook their own meals and to enterf tain their own friends. Those that care for reading enjoy the peace and quiet of a cabing those that take pleasure in noise and rough-house can seek it unrestrained where only their own possessions will be destroyed and where only their own feelings need be considered. When parents arrive to spend a day or two at the school it is extremely nice for them to have a place where they can visit with their sons and meet their friends. It is natural that each boy should take a certain pride in his cabin, when it is kept neatly inside and out, and when his guests enjoy the simple teas and dinners that are spread by their hosts. This individual pride has made the cabin system a success here, whereas in other schools it has failed. The majority con- sider it a great privilege to be allowed to own a cabin, and on this account the rules are kept. Good dinners, good times, good companionship, and last of all, good friendships formed in our Westminster' cabin life will always stand forth in the pleasantest reminiscences of any Westmiiister graduate. The so-called Faculty Cabin, which Noyes, E. Tuttle, Stroebel and Dodge bought at the beginning of the year from Mr. Rule, has been the seat of many important teas and dinners. Some of the most elite spreads on the hill have been held there, including the Football Dinner, the Opening Tea, and the Glee and Mandolin Club feast. Many of the guests of the school have been entertained there and enjoyed its generous hospitality. p Freesetthay,', which for two years belonged to Smith, Beebe and A. Tuttle, was sold this term to D. C. Beebe, Martin and Freeman. The former owners used it continually during the year, serving a large Thanksgiving dinner to many. The present owners are always at home and enjoy the sleeping-out privilege more than the average. 131 E Q 5 23 61 R EA: , lwf' . Aff, y K1 F R T. WAYLAND AND GALT 132 Osborn and Kilbreth have done very little entertaining at Macrokenter since Hull and Holt left. The cabin is old and the owners thought it inexpedient to it it up for one year's use. We hope the next owners will bring it up to its old standard among the other cabins. A'Tumble Inn was sold this term to Wallace, Shove, and Mitchell. I. Gillette, A. Dick, and E. Ricker built it and have always kept open house. It may even be said that it is one of the most popular small cabins on the hill. A gilded sign, a taboret, a good library, and an exceedingly pretty set of china are its chief features. Mr. Starbuck and Mr. Dinsmore have greatly enjoyed The Mansion, the oldest of the huts, and those who have been fortunate enough to dine there re- mark especially upon the excellent cooking, part of which is done over an open fire. This adds to the charm of the cabin for an open fireplace invariably brings cheer and comfort. When the desire to Hy around the country roads at breakneck speed, mid clouds of dust, took possession of Hart and Schwartz, their cabin was allowed to rest uninhabited and we cannot vouch for its present condition. lt has been used constantly through the year by the younger partners, Bissel and P. Schwartz. The Cassard brothers completed their unfinished cabin this fall. lt has been the retreat of the Mandolin Club often times, and a hearty welcome is always forthcoming. Shortly before Christmas dinner was served every day for over a week to their family and friends. The Beanneryn has continued to uphold its reputation throughout the year as the most hospitable cabin on the hill. Despite the number of spongers and the number of times they have formerly put in their appearance, they are always cordially received and served with cocoa or tea. The empty cups are quickly refilled and plates replenished. Keyser and Sewall will be with us for two more years to lead the cabin social life. Elliott, Ll. Ricker, and D. Montague have an extremely comfortable cabin 133 WABUN PINE TREE INN TUMBLE INN MACROKENTER 'K x -.. ...- :-.R ,- 'ii ' .fff . ,f 1. ' 5, .K THE MANSION 1 36 a step from the football held. They not only receive many callers on Sunday, but also those returning from football or baseball practice on week days. Payson and King added a porch to their cabin this year and have been hospitable hosts at all times. Newell, Childs, and Pratt, who necessarily have the highest roofed cabin, enjoy their outlook over the valley with the Hoaglands, the Hodgmans, Neave and Farnam. Waubun, owned by B. Wicks and M.

This is the commercial age. The de- mand and supply are enormous. Compe- tition is very keen and growing. As necessity demands, inventions of every sort come into existence to save time, labor and money. Saving is as important as making. For al- most tvventy-five years we have been making Edison Mimeographs for reduplicating anything handwritten or typewritten, in practically unlimited number of copies, all alike and all like the original. The Hrst copy is Written with a stylus or on a type- writer. Process is simple, easy and quick. For stencil process machines we are the pioneers, leaders and largest manufacturers in the world. The Planotype is a recent product of a duplicator. It prints from metal type through a ribbon, producing actual typewriter work. The process is as simple as ABC. Also prints from printers' type and electrotypes. The Circular Let- ter Folders fold accurately and stacks consecutively all circulars and forms com- monly used in the customary folds ready for the common small and large envelopes. The Planetary Pencil Pointer sharpens lead pencils, crayons and slate pencils almost instantly and perfectly. A great lead saver.

Because it supplies the greatest amount of muscle-building, strength-giving material with the least tax upon the digestive organs. Edwin White, the little fellow who won the great Marathon Race at Brooklyn, on Washington's Birthday, against one hundred competitors, was trained on a Shredded Wheat diet.

S 1 Power Measured in Inches MOTOR THIS DIAGRAM REPRESENTS ONE CYCLE IN WHICH THE PISTON TRAVELS 20 INCHES REPRILSENTS POWER l7..'l.I REPRFSENTS NO POWER ICYL. ZCYL. 4CYL. GCYL. NERGY is usually measured in horsepower. Let's measure it in inrhes. U, A motor has, for example, a 5-inch stroke. The piston in each cylinder travels down and up twice on each cycle, or I4x5l 20 inches. IL Power fenergyl is actually produced in each cylinder on only four-fifths of the so-called Hpower stroke -a distance of 4 inches. Q Thus in a one-cylinder motor, the engine pro- duces 4 inches of power in 20 inches travel, leaving on each cycle 16 inches of no power. ll In a four-cylinder motor, the engine produces f4x4l16 inches of power in 20, leaving on each cycle four inches of no power. Thus the four-cylinder motor has not enough power to equal the distance of the cycle. The result is a Hbrokenn power stream. 162 CL In a six-cylinder motor, the engine produces f6x4l 24 inches of power in 20 giving four inches more power than the distance of the cycle. This surplus of power makes it impossible for the Six to lack power. Thus the Six iand only the Sixl has a stream of continuous power. ff, Every motor fwhile runningl is either making or using up power. If this were not so we would have Perpetual Motion right now. ' Every one, two and four-cylinder motor uses up its own power to drive itself through those inches in which it is not making power. QT, The result is that these motors fail to reach the excellence of the Six. U, For the Six has eontinuous power. It is always driving the oar and newer wasting power in driving itself. fl, With the result that the Six displays superiority in: 1-Sweet running. 2-Absence of noise and vibration. 3-Flexibility. 4-Hill climbing capacity. 5-Economy of operation and upkeep. GQ These points of advantage are clearly shown in actual service. Sooner or later, when you ride in a Six, you will wonder how in the world you ever made yourself believe that four of yours was a satis- factory car. fl, Most owners of Sixes formerly owned fours. They own Sixes now because they know the differ- ence between these two types. ll If you do not know for yourself ifrom personal experiencel how wonderful this difference is we in- vite you to ride in the Winton Six. Do that and you will have no trouble whatever in deciding that uthis is the best car I ever saw. Let us send you our explicit literature-it is too clear to be misunderstood. NT Six-cylinder, 48 H.
