DR. BRANK PROFF ITT, SUPERINTENDENT OF THE BURLINGTON CITY SCHOOLS We welcome Dr. Proffitt and congratulate him for his many contributions to the school system and to the city of Burlington during his first year here. Highly qualified because of his varied educational experiences as teacher, principal, superintendent, college professor, and director of the Merit Pay Study, this congenial gentle- man accepts his role as leader of the Burlington City Schools with an earnestness that challenges others. We look forward to continued progress under such capable leadership. Superintendenfs Greetings It is a genuine pleasure for me to take advantage of the opportunity offered me by the Annual Staff to say a word of greeting to students and faculty of Walter Williams High School. Your school is one of the truly important institutions in Burlington, influencing intimately the lives of thousands of young people over the years. The quality of teaching is the largest factor in determin- ing the level of educational opportunity in your school. Ultimately, however, the quality of learning is the test of whether teaching has been productive. It has become apparent to me, as I have observed your teachers and students working together during this school year, that teaching and learning are setting a high standard. Burlington can take pride in Williams High School. Dr. Proffitt and Mrs. Strickland, elementary supervisor, look over schedules. I8 I

MILLER As the principal and highest authority at Williams High School, Mr. Harrington must be both friendly and firm in his associa- tions with faculty and students.

In fact, it almost seems as if he were twins, for in a typical day, he can be seen distributing books, counseling students, conferring with other staff members, or getting ready for some program. Mr. Miller is Wide- ly known and admired for his ef- ficient administration of the duties entrusted to him. - e'
