build effective programs MR. FRED MILLER With a friendly 'lHello'7 and a happy smile our office secretary, Mrs. Copeland, fulfills the duties of one of the busiest posi- tions at Williams. Unceasing in her efforts to assist the faculty and students, she answers the phone, types college transcripts, reports, and letters, answers endless ques- tions, and keeps the records. MRS. MAE TOMLINSON Mr. Miller is a beloved and familiar figure in the halls of W.H.S. Serving as Dean of Boys, Athletic Director, and coach are just a few of the responsibilities of this capable teacher. Al- though his various activities keep him busy, he is never too hurried to think of others and help them in any way possible. MRS. EDNA COPELAND A Our cafeteria manager, Mrs. Tomlinson, spends many hours planning menus and efficiently supervising her staff. She capa- bly fulfills her responsibilities and is al- ways willing to help students with their plans for school activities, parties and other programs in the cafeteria.

These capable ladies are always will- ing to assist the students in locating materials. They have helped to make our library one of the finest high school libraries in North Carolina. The library is one of the busiest areas at W.H.S. Before school in the morning, after school in the afternoon, and all during the day, diligent students are at work, taking advantage of the large and varied collection of books, magazines, and other publications which are available. From the numer- out reference materials, students may locate the necessary information for term papers, themes, and other reports. The fiction section contains a wide selection of novels and short stories for our reading pleasure. '5- MR.

Frantically one searches the recesses of his mind for a topic with teacher appeal. With the glimmer of an idea, he snatches his pen, writes and revises. Frequent consultations with the dictionary and the thesaurus yield necessary information. With a sigh of relief one put down the last punctua- tion mark and wearily drops the pen. Creative composition is only part of the work done in English. Research papers require hours of note taking. Long lines of Ibid. and op. cit. march through our dreams as we spend our waking hours besieging librarians with requests for books. While our efforts to dramatize Julius Caesar and Macbeth surely caused Shakespeare to turn in his grave, we feel that we are well acquainted with those and many other literary masterpieces. To perfect the skill of transferring knowledge gained from drills to every- day practice is necessary for proficiency in written and oral expression. All aspects of the study of English present challenges and rewards. Our desire to learn determines effectiveness.
