Foreword In the infinite passing of time, each of usfinds that knowledge plays an eternal and significant part in the engulfing complexities of life. Williams High School has been for its students a basic part in the attainment of such knowledge upon which will depend the future of its young people. Our high school also supplements the educa- tional program with spiritual, athletic, and extracurricular activities, making its general program one of intellectual and character-building content. As we recall our high school days we may center our thoughts on one year-1957 -and wonder: What do I remember most vividly? What were the highlights and important events? In seeking the solution to these elusive questions, we have delved into the myste- rious realms of W.H.S. and attempted through pictures and copy to uncover the essence and undercurrents of the year. As each clue is assembled and takes its place in the evolving of the final solution of our mysterious questions, we hope that there will emerge a unified panoramic view of W.H.S.-1957-our hopes, our aims, our search for knowledge, and our sorrows, con- veying once again what our school was like in that particular year. In planning our book we decided to break with the past yearbooks at W.H.S. and use our own ideas of what a yearbook should be. In this we have not always succeeded, for sometimes we had to sacrifice for the sake of economy or practicality. We hope that you agree with us in thinking that we have found, if not the best, a better way to present our annual. Most certainly you will notice changes in copy, cover design, layouts, and photography. If nothing else may we have laid the way for even greater changes in the future.

MRS. TOM DULA A lgfzf 177 file Darkness As we walked down the hall there ap- peared before us a familiar figure, stand- ing as if in deep thought with her arms folded across her breast. Becoming aware of our presence, she conveyed her usual warm Welcome, inviting us to stop and talk. Because she has shown a genuine interest in our school affairs and personal problems, we told her openly of our hopes and ambitions, our trials and tribulations, or just about the day's events, knowing that with her sincere concern and true wisdom she would give us encouraging advice. This great and noble lady has given her time, talent, and a heart of gladness to W. H. S. We, the students, love her because she is our friend-one of us. For these and many other reasons, easily recalled but too numerous to mention, we dedicate this, our 1957 DOE-WAH-JACK, to Mrs. Tom Dula.
