Among these devoted Americans is Dr. Spencer Durant. He attended the public schools of New Hanover County, graduating from Williston Senior High School in 1935. Throughout his high school career he maintained a commendable academic record and ranked first among the members of his graduating class. After graduation, Dr. Durant attended Shaw University in Raleigh, North Caro¬ lina, completing his requirements for certification in undergraduate work.
