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
