Dedication
An efficient teacher, a help-
ful advisor, and an under-
standing friend, it is a priv-
ilege and an honor to dedicate
to lVlr. Thomas W. Williams
this 1956 edition of the Wil-
sonian.
Reverend Alexander Wilsoii was
born near Belfast, Ireland, February
1, 1799. He received an excellent edu-
cation in preparation for the practice
of medicine and the ministry. He
came to America and Baltimore in
1818 and soon thereafter to Raleigh.
There he was associated with the
Raleigh Male Academy. It was also
there that his childhood sweetheart
came and married him. He was li-
censed by Orange Presbytery in 1830
and, as was customary, both taught
and preached. He was associated with
Vlfilliamsborough Academy before be-
coming head of Caldwell Institute of
Greensboro in 1835. This was moved
in 1845 to Hillsboro. Dr. Wilson
bought a tract of land, one mile north
of the present school, and established
a classical school there in 1851, where
he taught with eminent success the last
16 years of his life. He was assisted
by his sons, Alexander tLittle Docj,
and Robert.
He died July 22, 1867, and Was
buried in Hawfields Church Ceme-
tery.

Class History
What could be more exciting to seventy-two little green freshmen than to be upon
the threshold of a new world? Now we had reached our long awaited dream of going
to high school. We little freshmen. all but afraid. were looking forward to our first
big year.
There were too many of us to be put into one classroomg hence two homeroom
groups were made and advised by Miss Eloise Davis and lVlr. Thggrags
For our class officers, we elected Tommie Hunter and Allis WQBb.512I, Presidentsgz
Max Guthrie and D,Q,LLLQ,u Vice Presidents: Jean Carolyn Cates and Wlallage
Spipgg, Secretariesg Qale Cook and Deanna Coble. Treasurers. Then we settled down
to work in order that we might be better able to cope with the problems which arose
throughout the year.
The second year was somewhat more promising for the fifty-three silly sophomores.
who had become better acquainted with their new enviromnent. Again the class was
divided into two groups. section one guided by Mrs. Robert Scott and section two
advised by Mrs. S. C. Burke. Wallace Snipes and Ella Bae Justice served as Presi-
dents of the respective classes.
As juniors we felt rather important after we had been united into one big group
with Mrs. S. C. Burke as our Advisor. We helped with the school annual, The
Wilsoniarz and next we worked on the school paper, "The Eagle? Ordering and
receiving our class rings was a big event but so was the Junior-Senior Banquet with
its theme of g'Harbor Lights." It is difficult to say which event thrilled us most. We
do think it was a wonderful year and our President, Alvis Webster, capably led us.
Finally the big year arrived-the year that we had been working forward to for
so long. At last we are seniors and our goal in life is not so far off. Officers had to
be elected and definite plans for the year had to be made. With Tommie Hunter as
our Presidentg Bobby Dilks. Vice President: Jean Carolyn Cates. Secretaryg and
Wallace Snipes, Treasurer, our class began its work. Elections for the annual staff
were held and Delmar McAdams was chosen editor. Work immediately began on The
Wilsonian. Later the newspaper staff was chosen and Robert Merritt was elected
editor. Again the Junior-Senior Banquet rolled around, and another mile-post in our
lives had been reached.
Although our twelve years at Alexander Wilson have been short, we have had many
happy experiences and made many friends that will be part of us forever.
