PROPERTY OF WILUSTON SENIOR HIRM jf)i , 72i fS WILLISTONIAN Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore, So do our minutes hasten to their end, Each changing place with that which goes before, In sequent toil all forwards do contend. — Shakespeare — Now that our days at Williston ’’hasten to their end, the members of the Senior Class of ' 58 pause to catch a final glimpse of the happiness and friends we have had here. So that our ac¬ tivities at Williston will not fade from memory, we publish this annual as a summary of our years at high school. As we depart from dear Williston, we feel both happiness and sorrow deep in our hearts. Here are our history ' s best pages. Ethel Harvey MRS. L. S. WILLIAMS In appreciation of the great love you have for Williston and of your tireless efforts to instill in us the highest ideals of character, we, the seniors of 1958, take pleasure in dedicating this, our annual to you, Mrs. Williams. Mrs. Lucille Simon Williams, a native of W i 1 m i n gt o n, North Carolina, is a graduate from Williston Industrial School in the class of 1926. She earned her Baccalaureate Degree at Shaw University of Raleigh, North Caro¬ lina, and her Master’s Degree at Columbia University of New York City. During her twenty-eight years as teacher at Williston, she has endeavored to help every boy and girl whom she has taught to grow into responsible adulthood, but as advisor of Young Women ' s Christian Association, she has been especially interested in character development among the girls of the school. Mr. H. M. ROLAND, Superintendent NEW HANOVER COUNTS Williston High School has been giving special attention to its pupils of higher mentality for the past 20 years. It is two decades ahead of the present trend, and was accentuated by the discovery that most schools were not developing the best talent to the maximum of their ability. The standard tests show that the High School is gradually improving its level of scholastic standing for the top sections. This is being demonstrated by the number of scholarships of¬ fered by the Colleges. The competition for Williston grad¬ uates in 1957 was very keen. Many scholarships represent a most substantial financial aid to the pupils receiving them. The raising of the standards for college entrance and grad¬ uation will eliminate all but pupils who have taken college preparatory courses. We hope that pupils of all the schools will realize that it takes 12 years of constant application to an enriched course to produce a High School graduate cap¬ able of doing standard college work. H. M. Roland Superintendent Mr. J. W. G RISE, Ass ' t. Supt. Congratulations to the graduating class of 1958. Williston Senior High faculty and administrative staff have given to you every opportunity possible to obtain a broad, thorough high school education. If you have availed yourselves of this op¬ portunity, you are now prepared to fill a position of service to our community or to enter college for further academic training. There are many complex problems facing our county, state, and nation at the present time. You, as high school grad¬ uates and later as college graduates, will have a part in solving these problems. Think clearly and act wisely as you work or study so that you will reflect credit on your school, faculty, parents, and all other persons and agencies who have invested in your education. J. W. Grise Assistant Superintendent BOARD OF EDUCATION Dr. J. T. Hoggard Chairman Mrs. Thomas J. Gause B. Broadfoot E. A. Laney C. D. Hogue, Sr. Attorney Dr. W. C. Mebane D. K. Spencer J. O. Marshall Business Manager C. D. Hogue, Jr. Attorney B. T. WASHINGTON PRINCIPAL It is a pleasure to extend to the members of the Class of 1958 our congratulations for making it possible for the publication of this volume of the Willistonian. In so doing, you have recorded here in words and pictures, the high¬ lights of this year’s activities. It is our hope tljat your memories of your Alma Mater will always be pleasant. We congratulate you for having completed your high school educa¬ tion, and we trust that many of you will see fit to continue your education beyond high school. We wish you success in whatever endeavor you may find yourself engaged. Sincerely, B. T. Washington, Principal MR. JAMES H. HARRIS, JR. ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL Space travel, fission, fusion, and atomic energy are almost commonplace terms and words as we end this school year of 1957-58. The above terms are indicative of the fact that man has learned much more about his environment and the laws that govern it. You, as you leave your classes, teachers, and friends at Williston, must realize that much will be required of you if success of any degree is to be yours in this new scien¬ tific age of man-made satellites. If you have taken full advantage of what Williston has tried to offer, you are perhaps ready to start taking your place in our complex society. Some of you will be fortunate enough to further your education, some will not. Whatever the case, the future of our country and our civilization will, in part, depend on how well you play your part. I am counting on you as graduates of Williston to be posi¬ tive influences for all that is considered good. m OFFICE STAFF - 1958 . ' - sH 1 ® J. T. Boone Art Mrs. Eunice Boykin English Spanish W. D.

THE CLASS POEM -FAREWELL TO WILLISTON HIGH! I.

For they’ve led us in pathways of right They ' ve endowed us with skills life ' s great heights to explore, And with courage life ' s battles to fight. III.

ASSEMBLY PROGRAM Crowning Miss Williston The History of the 1958 Graduating Class We have at last reached our senior year after three trying years. Now that we have reached that goal and are approaching graduation, it is pleasant to look back on our experiences through which we have come. Our high school career began early in September of 1955, when 285 eager-eyed sophomores became members of the great family of Williston High. Having lived in anticipation of this for many years and having worked so hard to reach Senior High, we resolved to be loyal to our new Alma Mater. After becoming entirely acquainted with the school, its faculty, and some of our older brothers and sisters (Juniors and Seniors), we organized ourselves and made ready for the many activities offered us. The officers were as follows: President Vice President Secretary Assistant Secretary Parliamentarian Treasurer Chaplain Geraldine Hankins Charles Perry Jeanne Bryant Ernestine Barfield Lydia Aiken Cornelius Hill Samuel Dixon With these conscientious workers as leaders, along with our many faculty advisors, plans for a successful sophomore year were easily followed. Several really went all the way for the extra-curricular activities. Charles Perry, Wilbur Hankins, Joseph Small, Ruth Johnson, Clarence Mills, Gwendolyn Fennell, Cornelius Hill, Cornelius St.Clair, Vernie Grady, Leslie O ' Dell, and Mabel Pierce became proud members of the band. When the band received A-l ratings at the various Districts , all we sophomores felt proud because we knew our representatives were bringing us honor. Several sophomores also were successful as prominent singers in our Glee Club. Making Concert Choir was not only a joy for them, it was a joy for all of us. For many of the politically minded, the Student Council played an impressive role. These eager sophomores found themselves sharing in making amendments to the constitution of our school. Lydia Aiken was chosen as sophomore representative for the North Carolina Association of Student Councils, and was elected as state parliamentarian. Again we rejoiced. In the annual Student Council election at our school, the sophomores were eligible for the of¬ fice of Vice-President and Assistant Secretary. Candidates for the Vice-Presidency were Lorenza Morris, Oscar King, and Joseph Small. Ezella James, Jeanne Bryant and Miriam Merrick were candidates for As¬ sistant Secretary. Lorenza Morris and Jeanne Bryant were victorious. Although each candidate was quite capable of filling the job, we feel that these two officers were most efficient in every way. In sports, also, there were sophomores. The Tigers were named AAA Champs for 1955, and we could not help believing that the sophomores were outstanding athletes. We boasted and bragged about such sportsmen as Oscar King, George Samuels, Lorenza Morris, William Pickett, Willie Faison, and Jo¬ seph Green, who were all members of the sophomore class. We deemed the Sophomore Party a reward for all the hard work we had done during the year. Perhaps, the thought of this event stimulated us and was also responsible for many of our accomplishments. Everyone was gay and happy during the Party, and the attractiveness of each one ' s appearance added much color to the occasion. Great credit for the success of the party is due those who toiled so hard -- namely, committee chairmen Carol Hill, Geraldine Hankins, and Cornelius Hill. After the final receiving of report cards, we faced the prospect of being promoted or Staying back . The happy ones were assured that their striving was not in vain. Because of the original thinking of faculty advisor, Mrs. Anna Burnett, we were the first class to participate in the commencement exercises as sophomores. The members of the class occupied seats on the bleachers in the rear of the gymnasium of our school. The girls, clothed in pastel dresses, and the boys with their dark suits, painted a beautiful and memorable picture. Thus ended our first year at Williston High. The History of the 1958 Graduating Class - continued With a greater conception of the need and importance of leaders, we juniors organized almost immediately after our vacation. The election returns showed that we had chosen as leaders the following: President Vice President Secretary Assistant Secretary Treasurer Chaplain Gus Maultsby Lorenza Morris Lydia Aiken Miriam Merrick Cornelius Hill Joseph Briggs One of the climaxing events of our Junior year was the selection of members for the Crown and Scepter Society. It is true that nothing worthwhile is ever accomplished without great sacrifices on someone ' s part. Thelma Crosby, Edward Bosier, Geraldine Hankins, Wilbur Hankins, Rosalind Moore, Lydia Aiken, Carol Hill, Joseph Small, Ethel Harvey, Hazel McIntyre, Barbara Geyer, Margaret Nash, and Juanita Bennerman as members of the honor society is evidence that they had made many sacrifices to attain scholarship. We were very proud of them. Our Junior representatives proved assets this year to the Student Council. When time came for the State Student Council Meeting in Charlotte, our council was well prepared and well represented. Lor¬ enza Morris, and Lydia Aiken were our junior representatives along with two seniors and two sophomores. Splendid reports were brought back by each member. Our first formal dance — the Junior-Senior Prom --was a beautiful and unforgettable event. At the Prom, each Junior seemed to have been walking on clouds . Was it really reality that they were hosts at the Junior-Senior Prom, or was this a mere dream? This question seemed to be reflected on their faces. As the evening grew older, however, the Juniors finally reached the only possible conclusion — the Prom was really real. Ethel Harvey received an award during the commencement exercises for her interesting and well prepared articles in the Wilmington Journal”. Congratulations , we said, and keep up the good work . And another year had passed. A year that was difficult as far as school work was concerned, but pleasant as far as activities and our personal relations were concerned. Some of us had the wrong conception of what being a senior would be like. We thought we would be riding on flowery beds of ease, instead of groping through a maze of difficulties. However, we finally accepted the fact that we must work, and proceeded to make plans for graduation. As leaders we selected: President Vice President Secretary Assistant Secretary Parliamentarian Chaplain Samuel Jones Joseph Small Miriam Merrick Carolyn Holt Lydia Aiken Samuel Dixon Before we had learned the names of the officers well, we were faced with the making of plans for the annual. We knew that to head the staff, we should have someone dependable and capable. Conse¬ quently, Ethel Harvey was chosen almost unanimously as Editor-in-chief. Elbert Sloan was the Assistant Editor and Cornelius Hill held the position of Advertising Chairman. Other members of the staff were James Shiver, Josephine Carmon, Barbara Geyer, Lydia Aiken, and Judy Rodgers. The History o£ the 1958 Graduating Class - continued Although only a few Seniors are assured of a college education, over one hundred can boast of spending one day at college. This day was spent at A. and T. on the annual Senior Day of the college. Each loyal Aggie was dedicated to selling A. and T. to the many interested seniors. The fine hospitality exhibited by the members of A. and T. College made each Williston Senior feel that college life must be great in every way. I know each senior will always remember graduation day and its many joys and sorrows. However, the patience, love, and sincere understanding shown and given to us by our beloved faculty mem¬ bers will always be green in our memory as we recall our high school days. Without their constant help and guidance, many of us would have undoubtedly fallen by the wayside. As we walk through the world, we will remember the ideals with which our teachers inspired us. We shall attack our problems with faith and courage, secure in the knowldege that we will never walk alone. LYDIA AIKEN JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM -1957 _ ALMA MATER Down deep in our hearts lies a love so strong and true A love for thee, Dear Williston. We cherish thy name and thy precepts too; All our loyalty we give. Dear School, to you. CHORUS Our voices we raise in a song of thy praise The greatest school under the sun. We ' ll ever adore Alma Mater Dear, Ever lift our praise to you, Dear Williston If ever we falter or if we ever fail, From thee we new courage shall gain; Thy standards uphold when ordeals assail; For we love and honor Williston ' s dear name.

CLASS OF ' 58 Josephine Carmon w MISS WILLISTON 1957-1958 MISS CAROL J. HILL MISS WILLISTON 1957-1958 and ATTENDANTS Class Prophecy 1636 Future Avenue Reveals, Success August 26, 1969 Dear Principal, On May 29, 1958, the Senior Class of 1958 left Williston. Since that time many of the class members have done outstanding jobs of making themselves known to the world. I am very happy to know that you are still preparing top ranking citizens for their places in life. As I am very proud of my Alma Mater, I would like to let you know where some of my classmates are and what they are doing. Recently I went to Washington, D. C., where I met many of my fellow class¬ mates. Some of them hold key positions in our nation’s Capitol. Almateen Stukes is chief lib¬ rarian at the Library of Congress. Her assistant is Juanita Miller. James Wheeler, professor of electronics at the University of Washington, and is chief advisor to a group of Government scientists who are working on a new project designed to connect four planets. They have just set in operation a communication system which connected the Earth with Mars, and perfected an airship which successfully landed on Mars. Joseph Small, one of the scientists, discovered the new metal which was used in constructing the ship. He and Edward Bosier have also sent an experimental rocket to Pluto. They were advised in this endeavor by our foremost physics professor, Gerald Galloway. Wilbur Hankins and Robert Carmicheal, two of our nation ' s top Chemical-Biological-Radiologists, have conducted several successful experiments with space ship passengers. They have discovered a new mixture of gases which when inhaled in outer space enables passengers to ascend at terrific speeds with no ill effects on the body. Samuel Jones, who is designing a new interplanetary missile called the B-12 Sweep, has recently been called to Washington by the President. Previously he was working in the Science Department at New York University. His private secretary, Juanita Shufford, is also with him in Washington. While in Washington I visited Deloris Denkins, who is working at Walter Reed Hospital there. Ezella James, who has just received her Master ' s Degree in medicine from the University of Chicago is Superintendent of Nurses in the District. The position is equal to the one held by Josephine Carmon at the University of Pennsylvania. Jeanette Hall is secretary to Miss Carmon and Carolyn Holt is secretary to Miss James. Also on the staff at the hospital are Rosa Foy, Thelma Dickey, Anna Stokes, Gwendolyn Williams, Rosalia Dickey, Hattie Wil¬ liamson and Joseph Briggs. When I returned from Washington, my wife handed me a telegram from Hattie Charles. Miss Charles is head of the English Department at the University of Chicago. Oscar King, one of our nation ' s most successful businessmen, donated one hundred thousand dollars toward the construction of the ultra-modern library. I shall be most happy to make the trip as I have learned that some of my class-mates are faculty members there. Ethel Harvey, who is one of our nation ' s outstanding educators, is associate professor of Humanities. James Martin is head of the Agriculture Department. Bettie Burns is music instructor there. Pauline Green, Geraldine Wade, Rosa Johnson, Mary Peoples, Shirley Freeman, Maebelle Newton, and Vernie Grady are also staff members there. I spent the greater portion of the summer in foreign countries. The travel was quite pleasant as I was accompanied in Europe by Frederick Thomas. In London on business, we met Vivian Newton. She is there working on her newest picture, My Rich Beau”. She re¬ ceived an academy award for her performance in Flee . Ruth Johnson was named actress of Class Prophecy (CONTINUED) the year recently. In Miss Newton’s hotel suite we also met Carol Whitty. Miss Whittyisa ballerina for the Metropolitan Opera. I was very happy when she told me Lydia Aiken was a soprano at the Met. I learned from Miss Newton that the Combos” were playing at the Wald¬ orf Astoria back home. That is the famous group of entertainers who have just toured the world. The group members include: Mr. Combo Charles Perry, Anna Stokes, Mr. Corn¬ elius The Beat Hill, George Hall, Gloria Smith, Cornelius Mr. Trumpet St. Clair, Barbara The Body Chestnut, and Francis Baldwin. During Mission Study in Rome, I met Arlene Turner who was simply shopping for a new dress and she explained that her manager sent her over to get a special outfit for her role in Desire”. She is co-starring with Gus Maultsby who was recently named the best dressed man in the world . While in Rome I spent a night with Jimmy Lewis who is President of Studebaker-Packard. I also saw some of the vacationing Harlem Globe Trotters Stars: Wil¬ liam Pigford, Quennon Beatty, and Leslie O ' Dell. I learned from my guide, James Robinson, that All-American Football coach, Joe Green, was expected to arrive in a few weeks. I was about to accept the many invitations to remain in Rome when I remembered my services were needed in South America. I immediately boarded a plane for Cuba. On the plane I was fortunate to meet Juanita McClammy, who was making a business trip for the president of the Ford Foundation. When we landed, we were met at the airport by Mary Graham, who is the mother of the new dance sensation Two-cha-chas . She had heard of our coming and had rounded up some of our friends. Among them were James Lawson, who is studying law, designer Miriam Merrick, actress Deloris Bowman, and restaurant owner Nathaniel Rhames. After talking over old times with them for half an hour I went on to Argentina and thence to California. Vacationing in Sunny Cal” were cosmetologist Edna Peters, seam¬ stress Fannie McDonald, designer Emma Freeman, and Eunice McKoy, world famous Gospel Singer. I stayed at the Moore House Hotel, located near Beverly Hills and owned by Ernest Levey. Mr. Levey told me that his chef was none other than Richard Ellison. I asked Mr. Levey to let me talk with Richard and he arranged for me to spend the afternoon with him. While talking with him, I learned that Johnnie Bryant was chef of the Howard Johnson Restaur¬ ant Chain. Others working for the chain as chefs were Mildred Davis and Betsy Bell. He also told me that Freddie Hall had opened a dry cleaning establishment in the city. Others with business establishments there were Cadillac Salesman Charles Hankins, Lawyer Paul Wallace, seamstress Dorothy Cooper, tailor Harold Gore, and restaurant owner George Fields. As we decided to go out on the town, we dressed and headed for the Night Light Club. On the way there we saw Claritha Jacobs, who is the star of the new CBS-TV show To Hear You Sing. Richard explained that many of our classmates were in show busi¬ ness. Dorothy Graham is a star on Your Hit Parade along with Virginia Hawes. Alease Tyson appeared on the Steve Allen Show and Patricia George sings each week on the Music Show. James Shiver has written three smash hits. Margaret Jinwright is a Decca Recording Star. Mary Johnson is one of our nation ' s top comedians. Jacqueline Grady is Mistress of Ceremonies of Birds I View , which is a two hour interview show. She recently featured some of our nation’s outstanding citizens on her show. Among them were Brooks Samuel, pro¬ fessor of English Literature at Virginia State University; Charles Allen, instructor of govern¬ ment at New York University; Mary Bethune, registrar at Boston University and author of the best seller, On My Desk is a Pen . George Campbell, who just won the Indianapolis 500 mile race; actress and cover girl, Carol Hill; Elbert Sloan, sports writer for the New York Times; Norma Spencer, our nation ' s top model; Commercial Education Director of the state of Calif¬ ornia, Geraldine Hankins; Director of Business Education at Columbia University, Rosalind Moore; Annie Smith, Teen-Age Advisor for youth groups of New York; Professional football coach, Willie Faison and Tennis Star, Martha Nix. During the afternoon I talked with Juanita Smith and Hazel Murriel who are social service directors in California; Air Force Officers, Class Prophecy (CONTINUED) James Durham and Janie Mays; private secretaries, Susan McAllister and Shirley Moore; Ern est Faison, Principal of Beverly Hills High School; Stenographer, Hattie Allen; and Hester Scott, Superintendent of Nurses at California State Hospital. I explained to Richard that I had to leave for home immediately, so we went back to our hotel rooms and I packed and Richard drove me to the airport. I left California filled with joy over what I had seen and heard during my travels. There are many of my classmates from whom I have not heard from recently, but I am glad that my recent trip gave me an opportunity to see and hear about so many of them. They have done well. I am happy too that I have had a small part in making a contribution to the achievement of the class of fifty-eight. As I glance up, I see diplomas which attest to the granting of three degrees which I wanted so badly -- my A.B., M.A., and Ph. D. in religious education. There proudly displayed also is my diploma from Williston. Respectfully yours, Samuel J.

GRIDIRON SEASON Although the 1957 football Tigers did not post an impressive record, they were a scrappy, hard fighting squad that was full of team spirit. In all their appearances, the Tig¬ ers’ performance on the gridiron thrilled fans with the exciting and spectacular plays that highlighted the numerous close games that they played. The fact that the Tigers were an inexperienced ball club is one of the major reasons for their downfall. Their record of two wins, six losses and one tie is one of the poorest records ever posted by a Williston football team. But the Tigers had a far better team than their record indicated. Head Coach, Frank Robinson and assistant Coach E. A. Corbin did a thorough job in completely rebuilding the team on which there were only seven returning lettermen, and only two of them were regulars on the ' 56 team. At the time the Tigers appeared to be running in high gear, their backfield became plagued with injuries. Quarterback Ernest Sonny Faison was bothered all season by an ankle injury, while half-backs co-captain Joseph Green and Burnis James were hampered by leg injuries. The workhorse of the team, half-back James Whitted suffered a back injury near the end of the season. Despite all these handicaps, the Tigers were feared and respect¬ ed by all their opponents. Williston ' s famed Tigers were notedfor theirpowerful ground attack, which averaged over 200yards rushing per game. In a game against Eppes High of Greenville, the star-stud¬ ded backfield rolled up 315 yards rushing and picked up 15 first downs. The game was high¬ lighted by some beautiful broken-field running by Whitted, who pranced 50 yards downfield with a kickoff return. James, a 145 pound scat back, ran 10 and 15 yards for two touchdowns that provided the winning margin in a 19-6 Tiger victory. Green scored five touchdowns and an extra point for a total of thirty-one points to lead Williston in scoring. The 165 pound speedster starred against Darden High in Wilson in the opening game of the season. The deception in the backfield fooled Darden ' s defense and enabled the senior halfback to score 13 points and tie the game. Co-captain, Pernell Parker ' s hard running gave Williston a well-rounded backfield. The big bruising 195 pound fullback averaged 6. 1 yards per carry against Ligon High of Ra¬ leigh. Williston had several clever passing patterns. With field general Sonny Faison firing bullet-like passes to ends Ardell Jordan and Leslie O ' Dell, the Tiger aerial attack came to the rescue whenever the local eleven ' s murderous ground attack was stalled. Faison had his best night of passing in the second home game when he completed four of twelve passes for 99 yards, including a 35 yard touchdown strike to six foot four inch Jor¬ dan. GRIDIRON SEASON - Continued The Tigers had a light-weight fast charging line that weighed approximately 1, 200 pounds. Regulars along the forward wall were defensive ends, Quennon Beatty, Ernest Fred¬ rick Faison and Jesse Stanley; tackles, George Samuels, John Atkinson, Randolph Blackledge, and Donald Baldwin; guards John Brewington, James McGill and Charles Gavins; centers, Richard Pickett and Moses Holmes. Pickett and Brewington were defensive stars all season, as they were frequently break¬ ing through the opponent’s blocking and smearing the ball carriers for sizeable losses. Samuels, a burly 255 pound ferocious tackle, sparked two goal line stands salvaged by the Tigers against P. S. Jones High in Washington, N. C. Jones High had two first downs on Williston ' s 3 and 9 yard lines, but failed to score. In most games the Tigers outplayed their opponent statistically, but the breaks were against them and they lost several close games. Next year the Tigers will look forward to a winning season, as they will be a squad of experienced players. Even though the team ' s record in ' 57 was not so good as the great Williston teams of previous years, the Tigers did not lose their reputation as one of the most powerful football teams in the Eastern Conference.

Corbin ' s 1956-57 Williston Tigers had an abbreviated baseball schedule. They exchanged games with E. E. Smith of Fayetteville and Georgetown High of Jacksonville. The Tigers lost both games to Fayetteville, but defeated Jacksonville twice to break even with a 2-2 record. The hard-hitting Williston nine showed its batting power in a game against the visiting Jacksonville club when they trounced Georgetown High 17-5. Big, sturdy-armed righthander Leon Waddell was well supported by the Tigers ' hitting barrage as he was never in trouble any of the five innings he pitched. Joseph Green led the hitting parade with a double and two singles in four at bats, while Richard Ellison cracked out two base hits in three appearances. Joseph Harris highlighted the game with two booming homeruns, one on each side of the plate. Williston ' s Jimmy McMillan and Georgetown ' s John Greene were locked in a pitcher ' s duel when Williston travel¬ led to Jacksonville for a return battle. John Brewington broke a scoreless tie with a sixth inning double that drove in two runs. The Tigers went on to win, 4-1 behind McMillan’s 3-hit pitching. Ellison and Harris were tied for hitting honors, as they each had 7 hits in 15 at bats for a healthy .467 batting average. Ellison led the team in scoring with six runs and stolen bases with 3 thefts. Green had 6 hits in 14 tries for a lofty . 429 batting average. The Tigers had a well-rounded team that could hit, run and field. The catchers were rookie Brewington and veteran Pemell Parker, whose bullet-like throwing arms cut down many runners attempting to steal second base. On the infield were third base man Ellison, first sacker Randolph Blackledge and the keystone kids: shortstop Ernest Faison and second baseman Joe Harris. Against Jacksonville, Faison and Harris, Williston ' s double play combi¬ nation, displayed superb fielding as they reeled off two twin-killings that wiped out the opponent ' s scoring threats. In the outfield were flychasers Joe Green, James Whitted, Benny Dudley and Edwin Kirton. The mound staff in¬ cluded southpaws Roosevelt Stokes, and Earl Johnson and righthanders Waddell, McMillan and Le on Grady. Among the most promising prospects were Alexander Locke, the most versatile player on the team, and William Freeman. E. Johnson - J. McMillan - L. Waddell - L. Grady-R.

The Tigers, behind the sharp shooting of co-captains Richard Pickett and Clyde Dowe, outclassed Ligon in a 42-38 upset win. Pickett was the game ' s leading scorer with 14 points. Dowe had six field goals for 12 points. Raleigh ' s Claude Trotter scored 11 points and was the game ' s leading rebounder. The Tigers played the J. T. Barber Warriors of New Bern, Eastern District Champs, for the second game of the season. The Warriors took a commanding lead at the beginning of the game, but the Tigers managed to cut down the de¬ ficit and trail by three points, 22-19 at halftime. The exciting finish had the huge crowd on the edge of their seats be¬ fore Ernest Faison hit three fancy lay up shots to put the game on ice and hand Williston a 47-42 victory. Ardell Jordan and Pickett shared scoring honors for the local cagers with 10 points apiece. Charles Holloway had 14 markers for New Bern. In Wilson on December 10, the Williston High Tigers staged a last quarter come-back rally to turn back a stub¬ born Darden Trojan team, 54-47. The local quintet trailed all through the game, but was able to put on the pressure for a thinking victory. Pickett had 15 points and Lawrence Lockhart and Jordan hit 10 points apiece for Williston. Donald Ray Jones scored 15 points for the losers before fouling out of the game. The fighting five’s three game winning streak was halted when they travelled to Asheville to play the Bears of Stephens-Lee High. Pickett, the team ' s workhorse, once again held the scoring honors with 15 points, while Lockhart had 12. John Barnes topped Asheville ' s scoring with 14 markers. The next game matched the Tigers against the state AAA champs, Atkin High of Winston-Salem. The classy At¬ kin team, which employed a sliding zone defense in the first half, saw its 8 point lead dwindled down to 3 points at the halftime. The see-saw play had the crowd screaming with every play. With tension at a peak in the final quarter, Pickett hit a technical foul shot to tie the score 43-43. With 30 seconds left, Dowe hit a jump shot and later sank a free throw, pushing Williston ahead 46-43. Atkin scored a quick basket as the clock ran out. The standing crowd watched breath¬ lessly and saw the Tigers hang on to win 46-45. The victory knocked Winston-Salem from the unbeaten ranks, snapping a four game winning skein sustained by the defending champs. Pickett and Jordan had 18 and 15 points respectively for the winners and Howard Ridgill had 18 for Winston-Salem. A crowd of 1,500 spectators crammed Atkin ' s Gym when the Tigers travelled to Winston-Salem for a return battle. Pickett ' s 31 point effort was not enough for Williston as the local cagers lost 66-64. Ridgill scored 24 points for Atkin and was also the game ' s leading rebounder. The Tiger ' s next game was against arc-rival Fayetteville. E. E. Smith, behind John McIntyre ' s 26 point per¬ formance, proved to be too much for Williston, as the visitors beat the Tigers 61-51. Pickett sparked the local cagers with 18 points. The local five climbed back into the win column when it went to Kinston by romping over Adkin High 70-48. Ar¬ dell Jordan led the onslaught with 22 points while Pickett had 19. Robert Evans had 16 points for the losers. Williston returned home to defeat Asheville 58-46 in a grudge battle. Pickett and Jordan teamed up with 22 and 21 points respectively while Dowe, who led the team in assists, chipped in with 10 points. The next tilt saw the Tigers journeying to Greensboro to face the Dudley High Panthers. Opening with a 10 point lead, the Tigers held on to win 59-54. Pickett kept the crowd tense with his 10 field goals and 8 free throws for a total of 28 points. Thomas Williamson sparked Dudley with 13 points. On the very next night Williston returned home to face Kinston. The Tigers put on a third period rally to over¬ come a 7 point halftime deficit and gain a hard earned 48-45 victory. Ardell Jordan dropped in 13 points while Pickett and Dowe had 12 and 10 markers respectively. Robert Bryant was high point man in the game with 17 points. The next week found the Tigers on the road to play two tough opponents. Their first foe was Hillside High in Durham. The Hornets ' tall men ruled the backboard and crushed the Tigers defense for a 73-60 triumph. Pickett tallied 20 points and Jordan and Dowe had 16 and 14 points respectively. Charles Brown popped 21 points for the victors. The next stop was at Fayetteville for a return battle with E. E. Smith. The Bulls surged back in the third stanza to overcome an 8 point Tiger lead at halftime. Smith went on to win 64-58 behind McIntyre’s 26 point output. Dowe and Jordan had 15 points apiece for Williston. Having hard luck on the road, the Tigers returned home to tangle with the Darden Trojans of Wilson. Williston trailed at the end of the first and third periods, but was able to pull the game out of the fire for a thrilling 55-52 triumph. Pickett topped the winners in scoring with 19 points. James Holmes had 20 points for the losers. The Tigers entertained Dudley in the next tilt. The local quintet led 20-18 at halftime, but fell behind 7 points at the end of the third quarter. Williston held a one point lead momentarily in the final frame but the Panthers rallied to pull out a 48-47 win before a huge, screaming crowd in a thrilling game. Pickett of Williston and Norman Little of Dud¬ ley took high scoring honors with 15 points apiece. THE BASKETBALL STORY Williston travelled to New Bern in the final road game of the regular season.

The major project of the Student Council is promoting the general walfareof the stu¬ dent body. Among the annual activities of the Student Council are the Variety Show, the plac¬ ing of indoor and outdoor Christmas decorations at the school and the Inaugural Ball.. The organization is planning a Varsity Ball for this year and the selection of Miss Varsity .. It is hoped that this will be an annual activity.

Weekly activities include the Wednesday morning devotional period and Friday morning newscast. Delegates to the State Student Council Convention held on December 5-6, at J. T.

DRIVER EDUCATION PROGRAM The Driver Education Program was initiated in Williston Senior High School in the fall of 1956 with the cooperation and efforts of the Business and Professional Men ' s Club. Mr. W. A. Raney, President of Raney Chevrolet Company, sponsored the program by letting the school have a 1955 Chevrolet. The instructor for the program was Mr. D. L. Mallette, who con¬ ducted the class during the school day. In November, 1957, Mr. Raney again sponsored the program by lending a 1958 Chev¬ rolet. He also added to his generosity by lending over five hundred pieces of classroom equipment for driver education including devices for detecting time and brake reaction, per- pheral vision, distance judgment, and visual acuity. This equipment has added tremendously to the effectiveness of the rogram. It is hoped that next year or in the near future the program will be extended to cover the entire school day thereby reaching more of our students. E. W.
