AS A SLIGHT TOKEN OF THE RESPECT AND ESTEEM IN VVHICH HE IS HELD BY EVERY NVESTMINSTER BUY, THIS VQLUME IS AFFECTIONATELY ' DEDICATED iirir Arthur Svtarhurk Since his coming to Westiiiinstei' nine years ago, Eric Arthur Starbuck has been a missionary in the cause of helping his fellovv men. Even the place of his birth-an Indian reservation at Genoa, Nebraska, where he was born May 25, 1877, and where his father was a missionary among the Pavvnees- seems to have been propitious in molding the helpful character he has since displayed. Mr. Starbuck was graduated from Andover in 1894 and from Harvard in 1898, at both of which he secured recognition for his excellence in classical studies and ability as an athlete. He has labored unceasingly at Wes-tminster, not only for promoting a fine scholarship standard but in his Whole-souled participation in all that makes for the best in our school life. For years he has worked at the too often unrecognized and unrevvarded task of coaching the second teams in baseball and football, out of which he has developed hrst team material. In no small measure is our success in athletics due to his patient ,and almost anonymous efforts. As founder of the Camera Club, and in his earnest endeavors to make a love of nature take root in the souls of the younger boys, together with being the man always available to remedy minor injuries and bruises, Mr. Starbuck stands clearly before us as one who labors not for himself alone. To such a man We are proud to dedicate this volume.

Une of the most far-reaching and most permanently beneiicent tasks to which a man can devote his life is the founding of a good school. Such a school may at first influence only a small circle. But like a circle in smooth water, it goes on spreading and widening, till the only boundaries that can be set to its infiuence are the limits of the world. Loyalty to a school is one of the most permanent attachments that can be formed. Friends may die, in a long life a man seesimost of his friends drop away. .The friends of the father are not the friends of the son and of the grandson. But the school where a man has grown up becomes also the training ground for his sons and his grandsons. The same loyalty binds together the generations and links men from the ends of the earth. For there is neither East nor' West, border nor breed nor birth, nor, we might add, age nor youth, when the alumni of a school gather to prove their common affection for the place that made men of them. There is no stronger guarantee of friendly and sportsmanlike relations between two colleges than the presence in both of them of a body of alumni from the same preparatory school. And pride in the reputation and good name of his school is one of the surest safeguards that a man can take with him into college or business. ' , A The founder of the Westminster School, Mr. William Lee Cushing, born in Phippsburg, Maine, july 24, 1849, prepared for Yale at the Bath High School. VVhile in college he rowed for two years on the crew, of which he was captain his second year. He graduated in 1872, and spent the year after graduation as instructor in the Hartford High School. He then accepted the position of Head Master of the Hopkins Grammar School, where he remained till 1885. 1 The two years from 1885 to 1887 were spent at Athens in research for the American School of Classical Studies. Un returning to this country, Mr. Cushing taught for one year at Yale. ' I4 The Westminster Annual . In 1888 the VVestminster School was opened at Dobbs Ferry, New York, It was successful from the first, and soon had a good number of day 50110131-S and boarders. In 1900 Mr. Cushing decided to transfer the school to Sims- bury, Connecticut, where an estate of a hundred and seventy-five acres was secured on Williams Hill, and a school building and cottage were eregted. Since then several other buildings have been added, including servants' quarters, squash courts, a gymnasium, and a swimming tank, besides a house for Mr. William S. Cushing. There is also a power house which supplies electric light and power to pump water from a well on the hill. Athletics are provided for on a large clearing which gives space for a diamond, a track, and three football fields. Since coming to Simsbury, Mr. Cushing has devoted his time to building up the school, which already has a large body of alumni and sends boys to many colleges, though chiefly to Yale. His health and vigor are unabated, and he seems likely to direct for years to come the school which owes to him its inception. g X f . 6 2 4 i IIMIIIIIIIIIII I - .

He was born with somewhat the same version of life ag Pe- trarch, that classical learning should be restored at any cost. Qf the various branches of Classical learning, this native of Dublin, New Hampshire, for that is where he was reared, chose Greek as his profession. To assist him in his task of educating the prac- tical people of the twentieth century in the pleas- ures derived from the study of this little appreciated language, he entered Harvard University. Doctor graduated with the degree of BA., three years later obtaining an A.M. and after a fourth year a Ph.D. 'fWhile at College Doctor , held a 119 B K stand. In january, 1894, he joined the faculty. of Westririnster at Dobbs Ferry, and has remained a member of that organization ever since. Two of his pupils have won the Chamberlain Greek Prize, and his desire to have others follow in their foot- steps is apparent from the interest which shows in each individual. Doctor has two hobbies, politics and baseball. 9 LEMUEL GARDENER PETTEE. Mr. Petteels debut in this world on the tenth of April, 1875, might justifiably be termed as the salvation of Westrninster Athletics. At the age of fifteen he entered Andover, when it might be said that he commenced his career as a mathe- matician. He traversed the Andover curriculum within three years, and choosing Yale as his Alma Mater, he entered with the class of '95. BeSidCS obtaining the degrees of A.B. and A.M., he per- mitted -the faculty to credit him with a 111 B' K stand. In 1899, he entered Westrriinster as instructor in the Mathematical department. Since that date 116 has remained with us as a member of the faCL1l'fY and as the coach of the first team. From material appearing useless, he has moulded into shape manY a victorious team in both football and base- ball, i11C1uding the championship, undefeated and unscored upon, football team of last year.

Mr. Tom', Hrst impressed upon the world' his theatrical intentions in September of the year 1878 5 the twenty-second, so accuracy demands. Until 1890, when he entered the Westminster School at Dobbs Ferry, we find little of particular importance connected with his name. Completing the six-year course in the prescribed amount of time, he entered the New York Architectural School prior to the beginning of his college career. Being originally a native of New Haven, he knew much of the lures and fascinations of the col- lege there situated. Consequently, he became a member of the class of 1902 of that University. After graduation he studied a year at the Sargent School of Acting and then sought amusement by wandering through Africa and the Far East. In 1906 he returned from the Orient to take up his residence at VVestminster as an instructor in Latin and English. Every year Mr. HTom,' has written and produced a school play, all of which have been brilliant successes. WILLIAM STRONG CUSHING. L Indeed the City of Elmsi' has a right to be proud of her mighty sons since the year 1886, if she can rear such good-natured athletes as Mr. Bill, who first made his presence recognized in this world on October 3ISf, of the above mentioned year. In 1894 he entered Westminster, which was then at Dobbs Ferry, graduating in 1904. Having heard much of the attractions of the college situated in his birthplace, from his older brother Tom', and from his father, he entered Yale as a member of the class ,08. - For recreation Mr. Bill played lirst base and pitched on the 1907 University team. Having won a Rhodes Scholarship, he entered Oxford Univer- sity, England, where he pulled an o-ar on the Merton College crew and was captain of the Varsity Tennis Team. In the fall of 1911 he joined the West- minster faculty to instruct the lower school in Latin. Q,Q,QC2...

GEQRGE IRA TGMPKINS The career of Mr. Tompkins, a musician by' occupation, commenced in the attractive New Eng- land town of Vlfaterbury on the first day of July 1888. Wliile in the middle of his teens, he attended the Crosby High School, and aside from his scholag- tic work, proved himself a star on the basketball teams of 1904 and '05, Having decided upon his future as a musician and lover of music, he entered the Musical Department of Yale with the Class of '08. Wliile at New Haven he held a position for two years on the University Grchestra, leading it the second season. Until 1910 he studied at the Institute of Musical Art in New York. Three years ago Mr. Tompkins joined the faculty and has continued to be a member of that organiza- tion ever since, having charge of the' Musical department and its various branches. He has com- posed the music for the annual plays, each year of his residence here, which consist of some unusually catchy airs. Mr. Tompkins by no means contents himself' with the music alone, but has his hobbies just like other men. Recently, on the twenty-fifth of this past March to be exact, matrimony seriously attracted him and now most any day one can see Mr. and Mrs. George strolling over the school links. ' JOHN BRADLEY RILEY. Unlike the rest of the faculty, Mr. Riley was born and reared upon foreign soil, in Marseilles, France, to be specific. Being an adventuresome youth he crossed the high seas and came to America, entering the Cheltenham Military Academy at the .age of fourteen. Leaving Cheltenham he became a student at the Stone-ham High School, from which he graduated and entered the University of BOSlI011 in 1902. Here he obtained a degree of besides the customary A.B. After his graduation in 1906, he went to Dresden, Germany, where he did secretarial work. Prior to his career as instructor here in French and German, which commenced in the fall of 1912, he taught at various schoo-ls, ,including the New York Military Academy and the Groff School. H18 good-natured disposition and happy-go-lucky alll' tude have been pronounced features during his stay it Westniinster. Wlia.t does he do for a pastime? 011 Well, he writes German books, dabbles 111 poetry,.and rushes to New York. The Westminster Annual CHARLES ELBRIDGE CUSHING Mr. Charles, as he is most commonly known to distinguish him from the other Cushings who are connected with the faculty, was born on the eleventh day of August, 1861, at Bath, Maine. A The early part of his life was spent in his birth- place, where he later was enrolled as a student in the Bath High S-chool. Graduating from high school, he entered Yale with the Class of '85 After his graduation from Yale he traveled for three years, later joining the faculty of Westininster School at Dobbs Ferry. Mr. Charles remained as a teacher for a period -of ten years. Having left VVestminster for a time, he studied in New York and was admitted to- the bar in 1903. Once again, the desire of roaming the universe caused him to depart upon an extensive tour abroad, being absent almost continuously from 1903 until 1913, when he returned to Westminster. Since his arrival he has taught various subjects, History principally 3 and has tutored those who have been behind in their work. During the past school year Mr. Charles has welcomed the members of the Sixth form to his room on Sunday mornings, where he has served them excellent breakfasts. It might be added that he is one of the most optimistic members of the faculty. l 1 5 ij LMA PREFECTS 1 1-ff, --v':' N Mm Mi' -i - 'vu -.si- ' 0- 0 0 1.

HDQQH is the best student in the sixth, and is by no means behind his compatriots in athletics. In spgfg moments he turns his ready wit and sputtering pen to the aid of that illustrious sheet the Westminster Review. He had greatness thrust upon him when the managership of the Basketball Team was handed over to his tender mercies. Doc has 3 reputation for a dry humor which he gained by his essays on that remarkable personage Constable Simmonsf' EDWARD PALMER BLACK 1 West 72d St., New York City May 22d, 1896 Yale Eddy Entered school September, IQIOQ Football 2d, 1913. Eddie, even as his nextdoor neighbor, Joe Neville, is a great admirer of Vergil. In fact, so strong a hold did the ZEneid have on him, that in the winter term he made up his mind that he must personally follow the course of Eneas' wanderings. So at the beginning of january, Eddie packed up and with his valise in one hand and his Vergil in the other he left us to board the steamer for the Mediterranean. Cf his wander- ings and experiences we know little, but neverthe- less on the first day of April he fooled us and the faculty by returning to Simsbury, still carrying 1115 valise in one hand and his Vergil in the other. i Gi his ambitions we can say this: l'Edd1e ' 15 determined some day to defeat champion Quimet on the links. However, at the present writing, we can . extend to Mr. Ouimet some hope of 1115 retaining his title for some time to come. 5 Er 19 ta if B qi sc 114 ir ye 111 di ei ei P ti ii 3 t C 5 l l The Westiviivister Annual CLINTON ELLIOTT, JR. 1235 Dean St., Brooklyn, New York February 25th, 1895 Clint', Entered school September, 1907, Football 'fVV, 1913, 2d, 1911-125 Baseball VV, 1912-13, Cap- tain, IQI4, Manager Calendar, 1913, Prefect, IQI4. Clint, who in odd moments captains the Baseball team and as prefect maintains peace and quiet, is known chiefiy for his high stand as a scholar. It seems extraordinary that a year ago he preferred the turmoil of the diamond and grid- iron to the quiet seclusion of his study. This past year, however, has seen an extraordinary change in Clint's tastes, for any time of the day except during football or baseball practice should you enter his study you would find him deeply engrossed in some profound treatise on some com- plex subject. Clint comes from Brooklyn, and to use that time-worn joke, got his first training in athletics from dodging trolleys and Brooklyn girls. In the summer he wanders over much of the surrounding countryside in relentless pursuit of the elusive golf ball. The surrounding country- side includes most of the links anywhere from Poland Springs, where his roommate lives, to Pensacola, where he often tastes the joys of Southern hospitality.

Ray's name has occupied a place on the school list for a good many years, but he has never ceased to be an inspiration for us all. On first appear- ances he seems to be very quiet, but you would soon find that you were mistaken in your impres- sion if you should watch him carefully 3 every now and then he cuts loosei' like all the rest-just ask Elliott. Ray claims to have no special regard for the fair sex, but we are commencing to doubt that, as certainly they would not permit such a person to escape their magnetic charms. 24 The IfVc'st11zi11stC1' Anmzal I GEQRGE BARKER HQDGMAN, JR, Entered school September, 19083 President Camera Club 1912-13.

Besides his craze for the Lubin, Vitagraph, etc., he spends a lot of his time with his camera, and has pulled down many trophies in the Camera Club exhibits.

Joe is a hard worker, the hardest worker in the Sixth Form, to get into college with but two years of preparatory work requires strict atten- tion to business. However it is a mooted question as to what makes Joe late to baseball practlce every day, can it possibly be his books? 196, you know, is devoted to his Vergil, to the excluS1011 of everything else, but if he can once be torn from the covers of the Eneid and led out onto the gridiron or diamond he immediately forgets the troubles of poor lonely Dido torn by the fates frO1U her heroic .7Eneas, and applies himself with JuSt as much activity and brilliance to the sport on hand, whether it be football, baseball, or basketball, HS- he shows in his studies.

From time immemo-rial, Ted has been accustomed to leave school in the spring term on the plea of hay fever. This year, contrary to his custom, he has returned to the fold in the spring, having missed the two preceding terms. Ted rooms with Clint Elliott and spends most of his time matching pennies with anyone willing to be impoverished. He certainly has business acumen when it comes to that. As a side issue Ted,' is pinch hitter extraordinary for the Second, and sometimes the First, Baseball team. He shines at bat but in the Held-well he must have just plain,thard luck! Ted is a famous raeonteni' of remarkable stories. When a throng of eager lis- teners gather about him, then he is in his element and the words How from his mouth like ho-ney. VVhen he finishes, he always leaves his hearers ina comatose condition, spellbound by his wonderful tales.

'fjiinv is a product of Maine and Poland water, and he's proud of it Secretly, however, his one ambition during vacations is to get down to New York and forget all about Maine and Poland water. It's a great life, - Jim is wont to say, you ought to come to Maine in the summer, rough it, and shoot game. We have learned from a reli- able source, however, that his Hroughing it and game hunting consists chiefly of roughing it on the verandas of the Poland Springs House, which his father owns, and hunting for bears, which they say abound in great numbers at any summer resort.

Shovey, by right, ought to have gone to col- lege last year, but he decided that he would rather spend another year with us, 'ftaking things easy Qpolite term for the business coursej, than thrust himself upon the tender mercies of Yale. How- ever, he isn't without anything to do, for he spends most of his time exhorting the poor misguided devil who writes these scribbles to further -effort, in other words, he is the editor-in-chief of this enlight- ening volume. Incidentally, Shovey comes from Fall River and plays baseball. But when he is most in evidence is when in the evenings he gathers about him a few congenial souls, all wor- shippers at the shrine of music, and they, en masse, make with their tinkling Gibson's tdefheavens ring with celestial melodies.

Besides being a Green Mountain boy, hailing from that gem framed in the green of the foot- hills fading away into a light' shade of purple as they recede into the distance and mount higher and higher till they melt into the azure blue of the Sky, otherwise known as Bennington, Vt., 'fSib,' manages the Review and holds down a job among the prefects. He has an unfaltering ambition to enter Willianis next fall, unfaltering, we say, for S1b has been living among future Yalensians for four years and his ambition is still unchanged and as keen as ever. 1 El?

I should worry is Van's favorite oath, and we hope his only one. And the saying in itself is charac- teristic of him. For f'Van', never does worry and, strange to say, he never has much cause for worry. Van was captain of the football team this fall and in the very first practice held he sprained his ankle very severely. I should worry, - quoth he. And worry he should not for, as we all know, the team was unbeatable- notwithstanding, and he was able to lead the brilliant victory over Taft, which was his first and last game. Dutch carries on a large correspondence but we have it straight from headquarters that he prefers to hand out the goods in person, which we judge he is capable of doing. In closing it might be added that he is known to have 'rough-housed.

Glee Club, IQI4, Before we say anything about john it must be told that Syracuse is his native heath, and it must be said of Syracuse, including Skaneateles, a suburb, that no city in the U. S. has ever sent such a crop of good-looking boys to Westminster as Syracuse has been responsible for in the past twenty-five years. We would give you the list only it couldn't get by the board of censorship and this is strictly a family magazine. Now coming back to john we are told that last spring, having absented himself from us for a short while, he spent most of his leisure hours in bucking up 'against the Syracusan minions of the law. Not to be unkind,'We may add that the buck- ing Was done on the baseball diamond in a per- fectly legal Way, and that John had to content himself with baseballs for missiles. john is versatile for not only can he pick off a man at bat in nonchalant fashion, but he can also pick off a tune on a mandolin Qguaranteed?j to please the most fastidious ears. john is the life and spirit of the mandolin club.

THE REVIEXV At the beginning of the year, literary prospects looked black, for the Review was confronted with considerable debt, and so, in order that everyone could center his energy on one publication the News was combined with it. This was done with the utmost enthusiasm. There was also a decided interest shown by those not on the board and, as a result, its covers have been filled with many excellent stories and poems, as well as EICCHTHYC accounts of all athletics and detailed school notes. It is with a feeling of satisfaction and pride that We look over the past Season, one of the most brilliant that the Review has ever had, and we con- gratulate the editor-in-chief and his associates for the high standard they have set and for almost regaining their financial footing.

This year's team bears the distinction not only of having Won all U Qsschedule games, but also of not having been scored upon by its opponents. A hint of possible strength came in the first game. New Britain High V School has held the football championship among the high schools of the state I .5 for several years. This team had already played three games, including one , l with Taft, before meeting us for our first game- The contest proved to be one L of our hardest. The close score of 6-o indicates very accurately the degree of i our superiority. Qur offense developed surprising speed and power. The defense, though crude, was stubborn and quickly adapted itself to the demands Put upon it. The game with the Connecticut Literary Institute turnedout to be a one- Sided affair. Uur team won easily by a score of 26-o. In comparison with a F iii ll 1 The LVUSt'lll'i7IStCl' Annual 47 v i .V 4-mL , -... . ,. :,...: 48 The Westminster Annual year ago, it was hard to decide how much of our success was due to our increased strength and how much to their inferiority. Their record since, clearly indicates that they were much below the standard of last year. Qur team was Still depending on the rushing game and made little progress with the open style of play. A The Berkshire game was played in a driving mist which made it impossible to Open pup the game. Here we met a more stubborn resistance to our line attack. Our skin tackle plays made little progress owing to the fine work of Berkshirels secondary defense., Probably our interference failed to go far enough. We rolled up 20 points in the first half, largely on end runs. ln the second half we gave Berkshire the ball practically all the time and allowed our line to perfect its defensive work. - The game with Salisbury gave very little indication of how our team was developing. An injury to one of her best backs greatly weakened her offensive play. A sudden brace in the last period of play, when Salisbury nearly scored by repeated drives at our line, showed up a surprising weakness at the center. The Cheshire line proved to be hea.vy and for a while resisted our center plays. Nothing, however, seemed to be able to check our plays outside of tackle and around the end.s. ' A short practice scrimmage with Hartford High Scho-o-l, during which neither side scored, showed two evenly matched teams. Hartford High seemed to have 'ia slight advantage in power of attack while our line braced up to the occasion and o-utplayed its opponents. It seemed at this time that our offense was not keeping .pace with the defense. V Our game with Choate, much to our regret, had to be cancelled because of sickness at that school. A practice game was arranged with some of our alumni at New Haven. This game showed up our team in its poorest form of the year. Our offense was weak, the interference high, without speed or power- On the defensive, the center of our line was sho-wn to be unusually weak.

His confident temperament made him an excellent captain. Min-or injuries kept him out of all but the last two games. In spite of this handicap he ran the Taft game with great coolness and generalship. The smoothness of the offense was largely due to the clearness of his orders and clever handling of the ball. He is quick at' solving his opponents, attacks and his general knowledge of the game enabled him to direct his defense to the best advantage. . , ' Q I Ilillf' ll 't'SfllII.lISfl'l' .flmmgl I Elliott at left half was the lightest man in the baqk iield.

He is heavier and faster than last year. He is responsible for many long gains around the end and through tackle. He proved in the last game to be the most consistent ground gainer through the line. He is a very reliable player, always in the game, never hurt and never tired. Shove played right end on the offensive and rov- ing center on the defensive. He is an all-round player. He ran the team at quarter when Van Nostrand was out of the game and was ready to play any back field position. He improved greatly in the last part of the season. On the defensive he had a reputation for hitting harder than any one else on the team. V The lfVC'Slf1llf11SfC7' Animal Williams at left end is younger and lighter. He ig very clever at slipping through interference or drawing it off to the side of the Held. He has unlimited sand and is one of the best tacklers on the field. If bowled over by the opposing inter- ference he is back in the play getting the man with the ball from behind. Kimball, captain-elect for next year, played right end. He is one of the fastest men on the team and a very aggressive player. He can play most any line position. He is especially good at break- ilig up interference and getting down the field under kicks. ..,-. . , W- V. --Y '.' -.:a:s' --V 7 'W- The LVUSZL7llf11.S'1fC1' Amzual Galt at left tackle is by far the heaviest and strongest man in the line. In spite of his vveight he is fast and breaks up plays all along the line. He opens up excellent holes for the backs. Our most consistent gains in the line plays have been directly behind him. Dick at right tackle was strong and fast. He stopped all plays coming his way. He was never drawn off by a feint attack. One of the fastest .men on the teani and a clever handler of the ball, he promises to be good material for the back field another year. 5' J is 311C :mC verj the Ho the di light Hlld is from in the The LVCSf77'L'i71Sf6'7' Ammal Beebe played his old position of left guard. He is much improved over last year. He is heavier and more aggressive. He is slow to size up a play and apt to be drawn out of his position. He is very fast and matches the ends in getting down - the field under punts. Hobson at center and offense at right guard on the defensive was kept busy. He is comparatively light and rather slow on his feet. He plays low and is probably the hardest 1nan on the line to move from his position. His handling of a muddy ball in the Taft game was excellent.

At the time of writing it is impossible to state just what will be the make-up of the team which will face Taft, but after discussing some of the probabilities we shall try to pick the likeliest team. - n The first arrangement of the infield showed Neville pitching, john Wicks b ' . . ehind the bat, Kimball on first, Elliott on second, Van Nostrand at short, and Bangs on third. The return of Holden and Hodgman to school resulted in their being replaced in their former positions, at Hrst and third respectively. As Kimball and Bangs were batting better than B. Wicks and Erhart, they were transferred to the positions of the latter, in right and center field. For the same reason Shove was replaced by Hoagland, thus giving a complete new outfield. VVhen Elliott was operated on for appendicitis, his place at 65 66 The W estminstef' Amzzizal second was taken by Robertson. And when John Wficks split his throwing finger, Carter Galt was sent behind the bat. Thus only Neville and Van Nostrand remain in their original positions. The record for the season to date has been good, as out of ten games played three have been lost, two to Yale Senior teams and one to Berkshire, whom we afterwards defeated, and seven have been won. The last game, that with Choate, showed the team in better form than ever, fielding cleanly and batting very strongly. If they can keep up their present pace, they ought to give Taft a difhcult proposition to solve. I I - fn '-- Lfaaiggzgnazgra- . N .-......, .u...,, The Westminster Annual Carter Galt fills the catch Last year he had a good throw but hold the ball surely. This ear t l y no ony has his throw improved, but he shows ability to stop even wild pitches, and seldom drops a ball that is within reasonable reaching distance. Neville as a pitcher has speed and sharp curves, but at first either lacked control or failed to realize the importance of keeping the ball over the awk- ward corners. His tendency to put the ball right over the middle of the plate made him easy to hit. But he has improved in that respect and shows promise of learning to use the corners effectively. erls position acceptably. was unable to 1 . l R 41, 3,LS f Cf, My W 7 Wi K if-K 'Y-5' ,Q fy .QCA 's I t f f gizyf- ' ,. ,wiwf wff,zQ,.', ,-,Ww w t 1 f ' X.-.Af '34, :'. ey , '-.ills if mf' K 1 Q 'fi' c, A fviee i , e f,fm,,,K' ,yy ,gf 4 he ,QS s U .T X lg ,, ,k ,io K 1 t , , ,ghjswf s Y , f t 6 :T 9 ,5j.,Zfff .z f ffi K r .4 is , , l A as PI grfewvv f tif fiyf' f .fic fix! if? ff.f 'J - 7.355 M3 44- X I , , it -X , f 'X l fl if my y pf r Q i i , . 9 ,. 4' . eiii f ltfiz , Q A X 1, JM-T,,,m:x,.E.

He covers an immense amount of ground, handles throws from any position, has a long reach, throws well, and bats better than any- one else on the team. He also is fast on bases, uses good judgment, and slides well. As a pitcher he is nearly or quite as good as Neville, having plenty of speed and good curves. He pitches with good judgment, but his control is not always equal to his judgment. Cn second Robertson is doing well for his Hrst year. His batting is good at times but is not con-. sistent. His lielding is up to the standard of our second basemen of recent years. I The W estminstevf Annual Hodgman on third has not done much of note yet, but is a good man to have there because of his certainty in handling thrown balls Where a slip is likely to cost a run. Van Nostrand at short has been fielding poorly during the first part of the year and has not done a great deal of hitting. But he has a knack for doing a useful bit of fielding or hitting at a critical moment, when a less nonchalant person would be too nervous to do much.

Hoagland is fast and sure in handling flies but has a weak throw. At bat he seldom strikes out, and his speed enables him to turn many an infield roller into a safe hit. On the bases his speed again gives him the full advantage of every opening. Bangs in center field is not very fast but is rea- sonably sure. He bats very well, hitting fast or slow pitchers indifferently. The Westminster Annual Kimball in right is a poor fielder but hits the ball hard and often, and is fast enough to get frequent infield hits. If he could learn to slide better, he would be a good base-runner. Erhart is the best outfielder in school, but has been hitting very weakly. He shows signs of improvement, however. 1? 1 I 1 I I 1 I I I 11 mi 1 I 1 I I 11 Elan M P I I I I 1 I I I I '1 H L4 1 fl I .1 I 1 1 'I I I , , 1 I I I I I 1 1 I I ' I I 1,1- I I I I II II uct 72 The West14zi11ste1' Amzual Shove is a good outfielder, but seems hopeless as a batter. He is fast on bases, and last year scored many of the runs, in spite of weak hitting. If he should ever ind a batting streak he could make the present outfield hustle. J. VVicks is the most versatile of the substitutes. as he can play any position in the held, has a powerful throw, and bats well. It looks as if he was likely to win a position before the season is over,.if any of the present team show signs of a batting slump. His worst fault is over-eagerness, leading to careless handling of the ball. 'I' I II1 II: The PVestmi1fLste1' Annual Bi Wicks has been incapacitated by an injured knee, and has been unable to show his usual ability. ,l ,r-w::,-.-- yn., - -Y- ---M X, U-, ,- ,-..

TH E ELEPHANTS RE HORSE Presented by Ute Wstmmsier Dramatic Club I0 Anniversary Performance A 3 - CQ? Q . 82 The VVe'szf1f11inste1' Amina! m Y-uf-J-,,.,. THE I9l4 PLAY For their tenth annual production, the YVestminster Dramatic Associa- tion presented a new version of The Elephant's Remorsef' a musical comedy in four acts, given at the school gymnasium, 'March I3 and 14, 1914. The book and lyrics were by C. C. S. Cushing and the music by G. I. Tompkins. The play this year differs from those of the last two years in that it is a screaming farce from beginning to end, with several psuedo-serious situa- tions diverted into rollicking comedy by the humor and wit of the operetta. on the situation of a play within a play, wherein the boys not only play the parts of the characters in the play, but also of the actors supposed to be producing the -show at its initial performance. The The play rests up comedy is not lacking in straight dramatic scenes and crises, some oi which keep the audience keyed up with what is the apparent dramatic portent ol the play and whose ludicrous terminations and interpolations explode in the listener's appreciation of the humor. Act I. The Prologue, has its scene laid in a trolley car, in which the authors of a new play, its leading man and woman, and an astute theatrical manager are en route to the theatre, to be present at the rehearsal of the new production. A The comedy starts with the advent of Mamie Taylor McGuire, a small girl of eleven, into the trolley car, with her brother, Tom Collins McGuire, who has swallowed a whistle. The antics of the anxious Mamie, her suffer- ing brother and of a crowd of orphans out for a trolley ride, constitute the humor of the lirst act until the car stops to let on Cyprian Panks, a dramatic author, and Ira Goldberg, a musical composer. The latter immediately enter into a heated discussion of the villainy of the leading man, Cyril Clayton, who in his CaP?lCi'fY Of Stage manager has butchered Panks's and Goldberg'S P1335 The Brow of Helen, by inserting rag-time and Broadway puns into its Classic Worth' SO QYCHUY 1135 Clayton maltreated the play that the managef, lkestein has thrown the show over and has refused to back it In the midst of the authors despair Lottie Carstairs the leading lady enters the car and is discussing the fate of the play with her fellow sufferers when Clayton himself enters Clayton tries to cheei up the despondent Panks and disgruntled Lottie, but is coldly repulsed Finally unnoticed by all but Clayton, Adolphus Zim, the famous theatrical manager, also comes into the car Clayton, stung by the taunts of his co workers, and in desperation at trying to find a backer, The Westminstev? Annual 83 decides to put the matter up to Zim and make him a sporting proposition. Then, while his colleagues look on with the mingled hope of seeing him squelched, and of their play being taken, Clayton boldly assails the famous manager and tells him about his show. T At first Zim refuses to have anything to do with the play, which Clay- ton has renamed The Elephant's Remorsef' Finally he is persuaded to take a chance, and at Clayton's suggestion they impanel a jury of six people on the car, including a deaf old gentleman, Mr. Pumaceg two simpering matinee girls, Pauline Porridge and Rosalie Snipe, Arethusa Priggs, an old maid who hates all plays, Maude Blodgett, who suffers from a cold, and the conductor. Q Act II opens with Clayton and his jury and Mr. Zim before the curtain in the theatre, where the play of The Elephant's Remorseu is to have its first appearance. Clayton finally gets his jury seated and mounts on the stage to make a speech, in which he explains the action. Then, after much trouble, the play at last starts. The curtain rises and discloses a scene in the island of Pityea in Greece in 730 B. C. Clayton, in the meantime, stands on the stage and explains the action of the play to Mr. Zim, who makes harsh criticisms from the audience. Hippodame, Queen of Pityea, enters and is closely followed by Panks as Arbaces of Egypt, who is the villain and is plotting for the hand of Helen, the daughter of Hippodame and Caristos, the King. The action is interrupted continually by Panks's rage at the way certain elements have been introduced into the play. Finally Hippodame demands of Telemon, a slave, where Helen is, and is told she is out riding her pet elephant, Clytemnestra. Then Telemon and Hippodame sing and do 34 The Westminster Annual nd at the conclusion Telemon goes out. Hippodame tells Arbaces a dance, a that Caristos has decided that Helen shall marry Alexander of Crete, whereat Arbaces declares that he, by hook or crook-or machination foul, shall winf' Th Caristos and Hippodame bemoan the fact that Helen is so dif- en ferent from other girls, so headstrong and determined on her own way. Tu the midst of their discussion rrival of Alexander of Crete. Mr. Zim objects to the sense , Polites, head of the Pityea army, arrives and announces the a f one line in Polites's speech, but is informed that William Shakespeare o wrote it by Panks, who appears from the wings. Caristos decides to post the notice of Helen's marriage to Alexander upon the bulletin board. Then the sta e grows dark and the sound of much hammering is heard. Clayton appears S before the curtain and explains to Mr. Zim that there is to be a boat- race. In the midst of his speech a terrible uproar is heard and Clayton announces thatvNora Mulligan, the theater scrubwoman, who is substituting at that performance as a dancing girl, has fallen through the back drop, has demol- ished the scenery and that in consequence the boat race is called off. Then Panks comes before the curtain and sings a Rag Love Song, which he claims is an anachronism inserted by Clayton. ,The Greek oarsmen enter, accompanied by maidens. Then Helen enters upon her elephant, Clytem- niestra. As Helen finishes her song telling where she got her elephant, she notices the sign on the bulletin board. Immediately she becomes enraged and demands to know who has done the deed and is informed by Arbaces that it was posted by her father and mother. Helen refuses to marry Alex- ander until Caristos orders his servants to burn the feet of the elephant. ln terror at this horrible thing, Helen promises to wed the Cretan hero and the 'elephant is taken back .to her kennel, when Greeks and maidens enter fol- lowed by Cretan oarsmen, singing in praise of their commander, Alexander of Crete. The act ends with the entrance of Clayton as Alexander. There is an entre acte between the second and third acts, wherein Clay- ton and Zim discuss the play. The jury is completed by the arrival of the trolley car conductor, who is informed by Miss Priggs of the action. .Act IH opens with the same scene as Act H except that banquet tables have been arranged on the stage. Cretan oarsmen and maidens are d Covered in the mO0Uligh'f, Singing Mysterious Queen of the Mystic Nightf' is- The l7Ve,s'tminste1' Annual 85 At the end of the song Scamander of Thrace, and Arbaces, both eager for the hand of Helen, plot as to how they will rid themselves of Alexander. Then they decide that in the midst of the banquet, Arbaces, disguised as a slave, shall enter and scratch upon the sand the legend that war has been declared between Pityea and Crete. Then Rhoda, the dancing girl Qplayed by Nora Mulligan, the scrubladyj, and Ajax, a Cretan hero, enter and in the moonlight sing a song of love which is made ridiculous by the towering stature of the scrub-lady and the diminutive Cretan warrior. Now comes a love scene between Alexander and Helen, in which Helen discovers thatishe is attracted by the dashing Cretan hero, and although she pretends to hate him, she expresses a warm feeling for him in their duet, The Song of Hatred. At their exit Arbaces sings I Really Am a Villain. At the end of his song Hippodame and Caristos enter followed by the crowd of soldiers, oarsmen and maidens, all prepared for the banquet. The Dinner Rag is sung, after which comes the banquet, in the midst of which Arbaces, in the guise of a slave, reports that war has been declared. Immediately Caristos turns upon Alexander and orders him, on pain of death, to leave the island, by the morning. In the middle of the action Panks forgets that he is playing a part, and protests to Zim of the idiocy of the play, but is pulled back by Clayton who urges him to go on with his part. Act IV opens with Telemon manicuring the elephant's feet before the kennel. The bulletin now reads that a reward of 3,ooo drachma is offered for the capture of Alexander if caught dead or alive after 4 a. m. Then Clayton comes out from behind the kennel and explains to Mr. Zim that the biggest moment of the play has arrived, wherein the elephant is troubled by her conscience- The elephant trumpets furiously, buzzes around in a circle and the crowd rushes in. The elephant gives a final snort and then, capering about dramatically, points into the opening of her kennel. Alexander is brought forth and then Arbaces is discovered as the villain. The elephant, overcome with remorse at what she has done, gulps down a bottle of green hair dye and flops over in the middle of the stage. Arbaces is then ut into a sack, struggling and screaming violently, and is ordered to P be thrown into the sea. Panks forgets his character and claims that it is not 86 The West11zi1zster Annual the proper Way to put an end to the villain, and calls on Mr. Zim forlhig OP . . live material introduced by Clayton, whereat Panks is hurled into the sea. inion. Zim announces that the only decent thing about the show is the Alexander has, in the meantime, rescued Helell- The elephant, having par- taken of vegetable hair dye, is not dead, and the whole crowd rejoice at the marriage of Helen and Alexander. - The question of the worth or worthlessness of the play as left to the jurors is undecided, but is left to the discretion of the audience in true Lady or the Tiger fashion. The play is replete with comic situations and opportunities for humorous delineation. The work of the different actors this year was so uniformly good, that only those who were especially prominent can be mentioned in this review. Ernest Gay as Panks and Arbaces ,of Egypt had the hardest work to do and was as conspicuous as usual in his remarkable interpretation. The hard transitions from the conversation of an erratic English actor to the dramatic heights of a tragedian were carriedoff with wonderful success. His unusual gifts of dramatic versatility, combined with a voice of sufficient volume to render the bass solos of his part, made him the star of the performance. Next in honor came Howell Van Nostrand, whose unaffected naturalness and supreme self-confidence gave him a George Cohan reception. His remarkable clear voice and inimitable sang-froid united with a clear percep- tion of the more serious aspects of his role made him wonderfully effective. Distinctly feminine as ever, Foster succeeded with his part of Lottie Carstairs and Helen of Pityea as well as no one but he, with his marvellous memory for lines and consummate facility for assumption of character, can succeed. - A - I Caristos and Hippodame as played by Thayer Hobson and jack Carring- ton were exceedingly effective as a husband well trained by a meek wife. Their stage business, although at times approaching over-acting, was well received. - V A A Carter Galt as Rhoda, the dancing maiden, mighty of girth and nimble of foot, was ably seconded by Huntington Erhart as Ajax the Cretan war- rior. The song of love in the moonlight between the bizarre couple served to prove that they were both very good actors. The l7VCSf1'14,i7fLSf67' Annual 87 Philbin and Mead played the erratic elephant to such a high degree of co-operative accuracy that it seemed to the audience that but one person Was inside the skin. Robert Dickey as Polites was exceedingly clear and enunciated in an original Way that secured the best effect. Telemon as portrayed by john Robertson was simple, natural and Well played. Carlisle was decidedly individual in his interpretation of Ira Goldberg and convinced the audience of his earnestness of purpose in his delineation. Among the musical numbers are Mice, Scatter the Sunshine, Sur Teacher is So Kind and Good, and Good Night, .-by Messrs. Dick Tucker- man, Stafford and Goltia, Opening Chorus, Van Nostrand and chorus, The Blue-Eyed Horse, Carrington and Robertson, Beneath High Theban VValls, Rag Love Song, Gay, We Are Not Living Now, by the oars- men, Song of Greeting, maidens, My Darling Little Pet, Foster and maidens, There Was Never Such Commander, Van Nostrand and chorus, Mysterious Queen of the Mystic Night, chorus, Lullaby, Erhart, Song of Hatred, Foster and Van Nostrand, I Really Am a Villain, Gay, The Dinner Rag, Van Nostrand and chorus, Adventures, Van Nostrand and chorus, Elephants, Robertson, Love, Foster and 'Van Nostrand, and So Long, Helen, Foster and maidens. As usual Gay excelled in the songs, being especially good in The Rag Love Song and I Really Am a Villain. The latter songpcalled for five encores in the Saturday afternoon performance, being the best received of all the musical numbers. p Van Nostrand displayed his versatility by singing The Rag Love Song during, the Saturday evening performance at an hour's notice. ln rendering the song he displayed his absolute lac.k of self-consciousness and sang as though it were as familiar as any of his ovvn. He was also particularly good in The Dinner Rag.

To the labor and supervision of Mr. Tomp- kins, no doubt, a great deal of this success is owed, but were it not for the hard work and Willing spirit of the other members of the choir, glee and mandolin clubs, no such excellent results could have been achieved. The choir, as usual, have had the majority of the work to do, for their services are required every day and almost every Sunday. They have been very fortunate in having two or three individuals who could sing solos. Although the glee and mandolin clubs did not begin to rehearse until the spring term, they Worked so diligently, that they justly deserved the success received. at the concert which they gave at the Casino in June. THE M ANDOLIN CLUB lil E ' 1 4 , IM 1 . unsgn The Westminster Annual 95 LT -wife' - CAMERA CLUB This, the season of IQI3-I4, can easily be said to be the most successful year that the Camera Club has ever enjoyed. More interest hasbeen shown by the school in general and, therefore, in the exhibition held at the end of the winter term, the photographs, both of landscapes and action, were of high quality. . The club presented four cups at this exhibition. The cup for the best group was won by the Hawes brothers, while Q. Violett was the winner in the action picture class. A. P. Hodgman took the prizes in both the enlargement classes. A. P. Hodgman presides over the club this year with Violett as secretary. Mr. Starbuck, as in former years, has been the backbone and chief adviser of the club. An exhibition is being planned for the end of the Spring Term for action pictures only. This, doubtless, will be an incentive for many to secure good action pictures, which are much desired and needed by the Review and 1A1NNUAL. 96 The West1f1rzinster Annual .. 5 - ., ,. . -, . . , lf- .-.1-3, ,'.1..g:.Q. . -w--2:. .1,- . , ,'.-,-.,..: ef' 3- '.

For three whole days, from the roth through the 2ISt, the building resouncled with the tramp of aged feet. But three days are enough even for graduates, and the 23d found the school well prepared to welcome its returning students. Two questions were on the lips of everyone: XN'here are the 'new kids'? and, XVhat has hap- pened to the News ?', After a close survey, nine of the former were discovered, but the latter had utterly disappeared, leaving only the Review to mourn its retirement.

The l7Vestminste1' Annual 97 OCTOBER. i Even the second team could not check the irresistible attack of the first. The story goes that the second once held the first to seventy points in four ten-minute quarters. Yes, this is football we are talking about. The first won its first game against New Britain High School by a score of 6 to o. Thereafter C. L. I., Berkshire, and Cheshire, succumbed in quick succession, the school team totalling 81 points to its opponents' none. The team was forced to play without the services of Captain Van Nostrand, who sprained his ankle in one of the early scrimmages, but he used his voice to good advantage as coach. Someone prophesied a I4 to 6 victory over Taft and another modest youth, whose motto was safety first, foretold ai victory of 2 to o. 2 NOVEMBER. I The month opened auspiciously with a 35 to o victory over Salisbury. ln the heat of battle, VVilliams lost some teeth Qno, they' were not falsej. Someone spread the rumor that they contained gold, so a general hunt ensued, but without success. Even the best prophets sometimes make mistakes, and the soothsayer who prophesied a victory of 2 to o must have felt deep dis- appointment when the school team defeated ,Taft 7 to o. Owing to the condition of the field, there were some doubts among the spectators as to whether the game was football or water polo. Their doubts were dispersed, however, after the first touchdown. On the 27th there was general feasting, followed on the next day by general fasting, and as the weather permitted, the month closed with a few days of baseball practice. 98 The W estmmster Aamual DECEMBER. The athletic field is useful even in December. In a golf tourament held on the 4th, B. Wicks and C. H. Erhart were crowned winners of their respective eights. At a meeting of the basketball candidates, R. Hoagland was elected captain. Not to be outdone, the football team elected Milton Kimball captain of the 1914 eleven. The Christmas spirit is in the air. Because of its good behavior, the school received a whole holiday on the 13th. QLucky. The Wilson administration, you .knowj Qne event followed another, and the alumni dinner followed the holiday. No longerwas the air filled with the Christmas spirit,-instead, the guests sipped it, as they applauded the oratorical efforts of the speakers.

The hockey team nearly played a game, but after several days of practice, the game had to be called on account of rain. The cold of our northern winter proved too much for two members of the school, Williams and E. Black, and they left us for the sunnier climes of Europe. The basket- ball team practiced faithfully during the month in preparation for the game that had been prophesied, but the month had become history before the prophecy was fulfilled. The Westminster Annual 99 ' FEBRUARY. All things come to those who Wait but too many patients prove the destruction of the best doctors, so the basketball team lost its first game to the University Club of Hartford 34-32. Because the Rev. Mr. McCallum was absent, the Congregational Church could not be heated, and the services were held in the Congregational chapel instead. The basketball team came back strong, defeating the B. C. Y. and the F. G. F. C., and F. Y. basketball teams Ccomposed of Yale starsj, easily completing its schedule with the loss of but one game. At a meeting of tennis enthusiasts an association was formed with Shove president and Dickey manager. By constant rehearsals the elephant perfected his remorse so that he could shed crocodile tears Without a single onlooker noticing the difference. In other vvords, the play progressed finely. MARCH. March came in like a duck, with such a heavy rainstorm that Williams hill was inundated. Un the 4th, the anniversary of the Wilson administration, a general hunt was held to discover the reduction of the high cost of living. There vvas no indication of it, hovvever, except that there was a new bid for the sixth form table. Great rejoicing among the sixth form, for they might fsell the table at auction after all. The elephant fcries from the onlookers of Is he really real PHD gave an exhibition of his remorse in a series of per- formances, commencing Friday night, March 13th, and ending the following evening. His efforts were a success, judging from the laughter and applause of the audiences.

Even Mr. Paine, to whom recently the authorship of the Master Builder has been attributed Cyes, he,s the school carpenterj, could 110t diagnose the case. Some one suggested spring fever, but a moment later wished he hadn't. During the last decade the Rcwew mln behalf of the school congratulated Robert Holden for his return to our midstf' and the team lost the services of Captain Elliott, who was seized with an attack of appendicitis and forced to leave school. ,Ms of -m 1 THL ALUMNI REUNION f' 1 r-cs Jifrlapf . I The Wcstmmster Annual IO3 T ALUMNI REUNIGN Earl in the summer Mr and Mrs Cushing issued invitations to all y , . 3. Westminster alumni, graduates and non-graduates, to attend a reunion to be held at the School, September nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first, cele- brating the twenty-fifth anniversary of Westminster. A large number of cordial acceptances were received during July and August. The guests began to arrive Friday morning, September nineteenth. At the first supper there were present twenty-five alumniy Mr. Cushing announced that of the four members of the high honor list of 1889, the first year of VVe.stminster's existence, two were present, namely, A. E. Ackerman, '90, and M. Young, '93, Qld athletic heroes were also well represented. After the repast, at which the good cheer was an earnest of what was to follow, all adjourned to the Boys' Parlor, where Mr. Tompkinsngave a recital of his latest operatic compo After this he played the songs for the coming school play, The Elephant's ' ' t' e rads. Remorse, which won no less a lause from the a recia iv 3 PP PP S sitions. This music received hearty applause. SATURDAY, A. M. - Q The half-hour bell rang at eight-thirty, a familiar sound to later graduates. Breakfast was served at nine o'clock to all, who appeared punctually, wishing not to miss a moment of the hours of the reunion. Most of the rmorning was spent by the earlier grads in personally conducted tours of inspection bout the school grounds and to all objects of interest. The chapel, the a gymnasium, the athletic, fields, the swimming tank and squash courts impressed the minds of all. During the forenoon the tennis and squash courts were used. ' d 'tin of the After luncheon two baseball teams were organize , one consis g Dobbs Ferry and the other, the alumni from the school at Simsbury. The two batteries were W. S. graduates from Westminster while at who graduated Cushing, '03, I. C. Lowe, '03, and R. F. Holden, '13, P. Dodge, '09, the X 104 The W6Sf'7'l1f71SfCf7' Anmaal former pair for Dobbs and the latter for Simsbury. The game, though not very even, was interesting. Simsbury won by the score of I5 to 2. After the ball game Mrs. Vlfilliam Strong Cushing brewed tea in the East dining room for a throng of thirsty players. The banquet, climax of festivi- ties, was served at quarter past seven in the main dining room. When due attention had been paid to the ample and varied courses, Mr. Cushing, as symposiarch, rose to his feet, but, Wmltcz parains dicere, was compelled to wait until the cheers, which continued for some time, had died away. In the course of his remarks he spoke of the enthusiasm with which the idea of a general alumni celebration was received, as shown by the numerous letters congratulating him on the success of the school in the past quarter century, and by the numbers and spirit of the present gathering, the latest message being from E. T. Howes, ,Q4, who telephoned that he was unable to attend the reunion because a son and a daughter had that day entered his family. His son's name was promptly entered on the list of applications for the year 1925. In his review of the past Mr. Cushing added that lie was thirty-nine years of age when the school was founded at Dobbs Ferry. Mr. S. A. Clark, ,Q4, after a graceful introduction presented Mr. and Mrs. Cushing with a silver loving cup from the charter members of the school, 1888, bearing the inscription: To MR. AND MRS. VVILLIAM LEE CUSHING - -from the WEsrM1NsTER Bovs OF 1888. ' A token .of friendship and remembrance. - Dobbs Ferry 1888-Simsbury 1913. Mr. Fabbri, President of the Vlfestminster School Company, spoke next. His talk was exceedingly interesting and one of the best of the evening. Mr. liiabbri closed by remarking that VVestminster School was Mr. and Mrs. Cushing. I ' M V -Following Mr. Fabbri, Mr. A. R. E. Pincliot, JQ3, was called upon and he agreed with the views of his predecessor, the President of the School The Wcst1'1fzi1zste1' Ammo! ' 105 Company, in every respect. Among Mr. Cushing's chief virtues, remarked the speaker, is his sense of humor. One would never think that a person looking li-ke jupiter Ammon could kick a football seventy- five yards and kid a boy to a standstill. , Mr. M. VV. Dodge, '95, then entertained the diners by a speech in which the following extract was the most important: As one epoch of the School has passed with such wonderful success and a new epoch about to begin, it is important that something should be done to commemorate it and that there should be a Wfestminster Alumni Association, with officers and a committee to report twice a year about school affairs and thus keep the alumni in touch with the school. Everybody then moved into the Boys' Parlor, where Mr. Tompkins again played the music for this year's play. The Dinner Rag made a tremendous hit and another, A Rag Love Song, even excelled it in popularity. Embroidering in a Tubn was another sensation, and also the Qpening Chorus. Mr. and Mrs. Cushingls loving cup was then passed around. SUNDAY, SEPT. 21. Breakfast at nine oiclock and at half past ten Mr. Cushing conducted services in the chapel, his text being, Search the Scriptures,', questioning whether we read the Bible diligently and are governed by its teachings in ,daily life. i In the afternoon most of the celebrants departed for their homes, a few remaining till Monday. The occasion was a brilliant success, inspiring to all who were present and a credit to the wisdom of Murray VV. Dodge, 1895, who originated it. It gave an opportunity to many old boys to see the new Wfestminster for the first time and they were hearty in their appreciation of what was revealed to them. The younger graduates witnessed the enthusiasm and unconlined jollity of their older and previously unknown brothers, and felt a new loyalty toward the school which has among its alumni such a large body of distinguished and ever young men. A 1 o6 The Westmmsteaf Annual Mr. and Mrs. Cushing are proud of the sons of Westminster and found in the spirit of those who participated in the reunion and in letters of con- gratulation and good wishes from those who could not attend, the fullest evidence of our sch0ol's permanent growth and bright prospects.

Q The cabins still number in all twenty-two, no new ones having been built th' ' . IS year' and thls ELPPC-HTS to be a great sufficiency for the present size of eing no tents or tar-paper huts, which, in previous ears ha - - .

They are much more than this. They are miniature homes, Whose owners dispense hospitality according to their Ways and means and Where the character of the housekeeper is acknowledged to be an evidence of the characters of the hosts. The oldest cabin on the hill is Freesetthay, built and lirst occupied by G. F. Freeborn, T. Fassett and C. L. Hay in IQO3. lt exchanged hands several times until the spring term in IQIO, when it was sold by A. F. Tuttle, D. S. Beebe and G. L. Smith to Freeman, Martin and D. C. Beebe. Under their care it was Well kept up for some time, but this year, as Beebe is the only one of the three who returned and as the cabin is rather old and worse for wear, it has been abandoned. Macrockenter was the next cabin, founded in 1903 by Macmillan, Crocker and Carpenter. It is situated in the depths of the woods in a small clearing, a short Walk from the athletic field. It passed on from them, about HO The Wcstvzzimsteaf Annual 1905 to Curtiss and MCCTCC, 1906, to W. Camp, jr., H. Philbin and Barnum, About this time a large kitchen and an open stone fire-place were annexed, which added greatly to its attraction. Holt, Osborn and J. Gillette were its next owners and they in turn were succeeded by A. Tuttle and A. B. Dick, jr. In the year 1912-I3 Holden, R. Hoagland, Jr., and Erhart owned it and this year the two latter have taken in with them the former owners of Peek Inn, I. Ricker, Elliott and B. Wficks. This is, as has been said, among the oldest of the cabins at Vifestminster and is still considered one of the most attractive. , The next in history is the Log-Cabin, the most realistic of its kind, being built of rough pine logs by Chester Copman in 1904, and in 1906 passed on to I. Chandler and P. Dodge. It is now shared by C. Galt and Gay although it has been little in use of late. In 1908 Barnum, Miller and Bartlett built a cabin, north of the school, and a step from the athletic field. It was called Barmillett, made up Of H combination of their three names.

In the fall term of 1906-07, the foundations were laid for lN'abun or The Knickerbocker as it is now called. Various people aided in the construction of this cabin, including H. Philbin, Brush and Strobel, but it was l .x I- f . not until the following spring that it was finished by Strobel and E. Tuttle. It is located at the top of the toboggan slide, and on cold days in winter. when there has been coasting, it has proved a most popular resort, since a hot cup of tea or cocoa could be had for the asking. ln 1909 it was bought by M. Dick and B. VVicks. A phonograph was installed, a hard-wood Hoor and another window were added and the cabin was shingled. They occupied it for two years, and during that time a great deal of hospitality was shown The Westmmsteaf Annual II2 there In 1911 they sold it to R. Dickey and R.

It was preeminent that spring term, iced tea being served regularly Sunday afternoons and sometimes during the Week for the baseball men after practice. It was presented this last winter term to Carlisle, Denby, Hazard and Kelly and they have well kept up its social standard, having several times catered to noted visitors from Simsbury. In 1906 Mr. Rule and Mr. Chittenden built a cabin in a different part of the Woods from the rest of the colony, in the neighborhood of Kidville. It has since been called The Faculty Cabinn and, as one of the largest and best furnished at various times it has been a very popular abode. About I9o9 it was bought by S. Dodge, Noyes, H. E. Tuttle and Strobel and it was during the ownership of these four that the cabin saw its best days. Manny banquets were served to football and baseball men, and also other parties I 1 4 The Westmfmstev' Annual ld th re with great success They sold it in 1911 to Faye, Erharp were he e - . and E. P. Ricker, jr., who used it more or less, and the following year Kelly b bou ht it who in turn sold it to S. Sewall and Hobson. The and Den y g , . i ' two latter own and have used it all during the winter term. It is rather out in the wilderness, but it seems to be patronized to as great an extent as many of the other miniature homes. K wa din was founded in IQO7 by G. Lord and Hull, and is situated ee y in the heart of the colony of cabins. lt was handed down from them to Holden Van Nostrand and W. Childs, who occupied it for several years, d th, sold it to Bangs and Sibley, under whose care it has since greatly an en 5 prospered, and although not so much in use this year, in 1913 it served as a sort of headquarters for many of the fifth form. Perhaps the most houselike is Peek Inn, the nearest cabin to the athletic field. It was constructed in IQOQ' by Ricker and Elliott, under the super- vision of Mr. Rule. In IQIO they too-k D. Montague in with them as a artner and he was succeeded by B Wicks in the spring term of 1912. lt is p . quite neatly fitted out and is about the largest on the hill. B. and WVicks are using it temporarily and we hope to see them maintain its former reputation of hospitality. Tumble Inn is a very cozy little cabin where many good times and parties have been enjoyed. A. B. Dick, I. Gillette and E. P. Ricker, jr., built it during the fall of 19o9, and it is distinguished for being the first to possess a glass china case, also, this cabin and The Knickerbocker set an example by having a Victrola at the disposal of their guests. Shove, VVallace and Mitchell were its next owners and later Ewing also shared it 1 with them. ln the spring of IQI3 it was rented by T. Hazard, Violett and Kelly and-last fall Mead and the Stafford brothers bought it and it is accordingly frequented both by young and old. - . At Twin Oaks Don Percy, Whipple and L. Hawes do a great deal of entertaining and another variation of baseball has become very much in vogue there. This cabin was built in 1909 by Pratt, E. Childs and Newell. It is unusually large with a high roof and the good taste with which it was originally furnished makes it most comfortable and attractive. ' The Hodgman brothers use their cabin, Batonswill, more thisyeai' than formerly and it has become a most popular resort. The portable cabin, which lacks nothing but a name, has come int0 prominence within the last two years under the care of Hoyt and the Hawes twins. It is quite a distance from the school buildings, but many find it 1-,-,.---..-...,., I . .

Why They Hold Their Coes 6: Shape Many customers, wearing Coes 8: Young shoes for the first time, express surprise because the shoes hold their shape in- definitely. They ask us how it is that our shoes retain their shape while other shoes spread apart, the arches fall down and the shoe becomes a mere cover- ing for the foot-losing its char- acter as a shoe.

But it would be a gross violation of confidence. To sell a Six at 352500, it would be nec- essary for us to cut down quality, to skimp on workmanship, or, worse still, to assemble- parts from other factories, in- stead of building the complete car our- selves. There are a thousand ways to cheapen a car, and every one of them, in our case, would be dishonest. r Keeping Faith with Buyers For a company that has a low-grade reputation, a S2500 Six might be a step upward. But forthe Winton Company, whose Winton. Six set the world's standard for six-cylinder quality and drove the best of fours into the second class, even the slightest cheapening of quality would be inexcus- able -would be a betrayal of the confidence and good will of those thousands of Winton Six owners who believe in us and in our car, and,in good faith, urge their friends to buy Winton Sixes. Millions of Good Will This Good Will-the result of our producing highest-quality cars and of making good on every or Big Merit? WINTON SIX Long stroke motor, left drive, center control, electric lights, self-starter, finest mohair top, easilyhandled cur- tains, rain-vision glass front, best Warner speedometer, Waltham eight- day clock, Klaxon electric horn, rear tire carriers, four-cylinder tire pump, demountable rims, full set of tools, German silver radiator, metal parts nickel finished. Fully equipped, Always Quality First That's exactly why a big output has never tempted us. We make only as many cars as we can make right. And we make them ourselves. You'll never find a Winton motor in any other make, nor a Winton clutch or transmission, nor a Winton axle or steering gear. Winton Six merit is individual and exclusive. Why Price Stays Down The Winton Six is sold at the lowest possible price that its merit can be sold for. WVe keep quality up because we will not abuse the trust of our patrons, and promise during our nfteen years in business-has a value, according 'to commercial reckoning, of millions of dollars. Many companies list Good Will in their balance sheets, as an asset. VVe don't. We regard Good Will as a moral liability and obligation-an obli- gation never to betray public confi- dence by marketing under the Winton Caution Be careful in selecting a car-this year more than ever before. There are startling reasons why. Read them in our Book we are able to keep price down because we have no water in our stock, no bonds, no gold notes, no mortgages, no over-expanded plant, no excessive overhead, no wasteful executive methods.
