Williams High School - Doe Wah Jack Yearbook (Burlington, NC)

I 0 From its initial publication in 1924, our yearbook has borne a title derived from an Indian Word meaning Hthe first. The editor of that early edition sought a name that would carry a distinct meaning through the years. Starting a contest, he asked all students of Burl- ington High School to submit a name for the annual. A junior, Graves Holt, saw the name Doe-Wah-lack on a pot-bellied stove in his father's hardware store. After Writing the manu- facturer of the stove and discovering it meant 'fthe first or the best, he turned the entry over to the editor. That name won the contest. Thus our book became the namesake of the little iron stove.

I 1 ' In Af, ln tl1is, the 1961 Doe-Wah-lack, We have attempted to portray the first decade of the I history of Williams High School. During these , I I ' years a school of which We can be justifiably I t proud has evolved. We are convinced that Wil- fi liams, in plant and program, is second to l f In order to picture the physical progress of f '4 L 0u the school, it has been necessary to make pho- tographs of pictures included in old yearbooks. Also, we have pictured the covers of the preceed- ing ten annuals. ln looking back, however, We have tried to avoid placing too much emphasis on the past, as it is merely a background for our present. In our attempts to bring you a better yearbook, we have reduced the number of snapshot pages to provide space for activity shots in the class sections, and have used color in a variety of ways to give a more vivid reflection of our school and its colorful activities. To give the seniors their deserved prominence, we have enlarged senior pictures and changed the page layouts. It has been necessary to compile a Senior Directory at the end of the book to include all activities of the three years of a senior high school. We, the compilers of the 1961 edition of your annual, hope that our endeavors have brought you something that will indelibly stamp upon your mind cherished memories-memories that might fade with time were there no reminder. This book we humbly yet proudly give to you as that reminder so that you shall not forget the most vital phase of your lives. We have further attempted to register some of the great progress at W.H.S. in the past ten years and to capture a little of that enduring progressive spirit into a permanent record for you. We, the staff, hope you will cherish this reminder as long as you live.
