THE WILLISTONIAN 1967 ni0ison Davis, Editor Yvonne Robinson Business Manager John Greene Associate Editor m 1 Jl THINGS WE SHARE. I am Williston, The Greatest School Under The Sun. These past few years, we ' ve shared together our victories and our defeats. The bonds that tie me to you shall never be broken. Thousands have walked my halls. Thousands have come to me to learn of culture, religion, recreation, knowledge, and numerous other reasons. Together, we have shared all this. Yes, I am Williston. And these things we share . . . THESE THINGS WE SHARE. . . Culture. . . 1 . A 1 x Education Silence, stillness, and an alert mind, was the order of the day. These graduating seniors are out on their own, putting use the knowledge and perserved thoughts they ' ve shared these past few years. One of the best things one can share is knowledge. These things we share . . . Religion Sharing is a vital necessity at Williston. Here, the Tri-Hi-Y conducts its annual Christmas Program to help the needy and poverty stricken homes throughout the community. By sharing, even if but a small portion, the hearts of many are lightened from day to day. These things we share . . . Recreation Sharingtheir extra time and efforts, our instructors main¬ tain the sound and healthy bodies of many. To participate in recreation is a means of relaxation and diversion from school day studies. It gives the students a chance to share in some¬ thing they all enjoy. These things we share . . . 5 Culture A bit of culture never hurt anyone. Every now and then, the student body has a chance to taste a bit of culture. Louis Hargrove displays a ribbon dance. Only through understanding culture in its relation to society, can you interpret such a dis¬ play of talent and meaning as this. Yes, we share our culture. Knowledge Looking toward a bright future, Willistonians take advantage of every moment possible of the school library. Assistants share their own time to render their services in the up-keep and main¬ tenance of our store house of knowledge. These things we share . . . FOREWORD Down deep in our hearts lies a love so strong and true . . . We cherish thy name and thy precepts too. These words from our alma mater express the deep feeling of every Willistonian towards his school and his community. Imbued with the idea of giving of talent and time, our students are ever alert to school and community service. The idea of sharing is learned early and is carried into their adult lives. Williston engulfs itself into the tide of community activities. Students par¬ ticipate in recreational activities sponsored by various agencies. Our churches depend upon them for their musical talents and their leadership. The libraries in the city are used daily by literally hundreds of them, while others give service to these important agencies. Ever alert to changing times, the students here can be found participating in testing programs of all kinds. Their culture is enhanced through memberships in the community concert series, the Thalian association, and attendance at many outstanding affairs. Religion, Recreation, Knowledge, Education, Culture—These are the things we share. 6 THESE THINGS WE SHARE. . .

It is now a historic shrine Thom; rofet was m. Recreation Enjoying the best of southern weather, Willistonians are always to be found at Greenfield Lake. This park affords the best in recreation facili¬ ties in this area. Fishing, boating, hiking, amusements, and picnicing w of the enjoyments Greenfield has to offer. Greenfield is a Since we first entered these halls, our principal has emphasized scholastic achievement and moral values. His con¬ cern has been an inspiration to students for more than a quarter of a century. He has guided students with patience and understanding causing some to excel beyond expectations. Although our principal ' s interests are varied, his foremost concern is with youth. He is patient and understand¬ ing, kind and considerate, sincere and devoted. School activities require much of his time, but he gives generously of himself to his community. He is active in both church and civic affairs. For years, he has served as treasurer of the state ath¬ letic association and in many capacities with the North Carolina Teachers Asso¬ ciation. Counselor and friend describe aptly our principal. This he has been to many who have come before us. This he will be to those who follow. Our assistant principal strives hard to better our school through good student- teacher relationship. His voice is famil¬ iar to all students as he makes the daily announcements or summons students to their proper place. Camera in hand, Mr. Harris seems always at the proper place at the proper time. He keeps a pictorial history of the school at all times. Early each day, he begins his work issuing audio-visual aids and ordering supplies. His duties are varied and as school treasurer he collects funds, main¬ tains the books and writes the checks. A former teacher of mathematics and science, our assistant principal is handy in many ways. He is always ready to give a helping hand and has proven him¬ self a capable assistant. Mr. James H.

THE GUIDANCE COUNSELOR Miss Quick and Jacqueline Brunson Ernest Baily, Matthew Simpson, and Miss Quick - ■ . ENGLISH English is a required subject for all students on each grade level. English 10 gives sophomore students opportunities for oral activities in book reviews, memory lines, class discussion, special reports and panels. The grammar is a review of ninth year fundamentals and the literature provides material for a broader appreciation of literature and reading development. English 11, for juniors is a continuation of the principles of grammar. The literature deals with the influence of American ideals on literature and the different types of literature of great American writers. English 12 deals with the fundamentals of grammar and composition. The literature, which stresses English literature in our heritage, reflects the writings of great authors from the Anglo-Saxon period to the present day. The English department also offers a reading improvement course to give special attention to the individual needs of students through developing reading competencies, vocabulary improvement, comprehension, and study skills. Mrs. L. S. Hankins (back, STANDING) instructs one of her senior English classes. 19 Mrs. Williams Mrs. Telfair Mrs. Hankins Mrs. Draine FOREIGN LANGUAGES Mrs. Dickerson assists students in the foreign language laboratory. Sharing things with others we must also learn new languages. Our French, Spanish and Latin classes take care of that new step in our life. In these classes the students work most of the time in the laboratory listening and repeating what is heard on the tapes. Though few of us realize that Latin exists we find that this field is growing more and more as the years advance. 21 Miss S. B. Hooper, social studies teacher completed 43 years of service at Williston. Civic leaders, school administrators and teachers, former students and the student body paid tribute to her at our assembly program. SOCIAL SCIENCES These things we share daily the problems of the world, the way people live, and probably solutions to joining together these people of all nations. The Social Studies department is work¬ ing hard on teaching Willistonians about their world. United States History aims to develop a better understanding of the major events and move¬ ments which have taken place in the making of the nation. Emphasis is placed upon having the student fill his place in the American democracy in such a way as to contribute to its preser¬ vation and improvement. World History is a survey course of man ' s historical background. The major civilization and nations are studied in order to show how they developed, what factors were responsible for their rise and fall, and what were their lasting contributions to the world. Government includes a study of the growth and development of governments and consists of a study of national, state, and local governments. International relations and some study is made of foreign governments, but not in great detail. Sociology and Economics are half semester courses. Sociology is a course designed to help the student see himself as a social being in a complex society made up of various social groups. Economics is a study of the material wants and needs of man and his efforts to meet and fulfill these wants and needs through production, distribution, exchange, and consumption of goods and services.

Burnett watches intently as a representative from Cortez Peters Business College exhibits his skill at the typewriter. BUSINESS Business students are among those who share daily their time and talent with the school and community. Many students plan to pursue careers in business after high school. The subjects offered prepare students for future jobs upon graduation or for further training. Courses include shorthand, typewriting, bookkeeping, and office practice. Students may elect cooperative office practice as an aid to improving themselves and getting actual job training. Mrs. D. F. Murphy (center) instructs a class in personal typing. This course is designed for the student who is not in the business curriculum but would want to learn typing for his personal use. Miss Sylvia Turnage, a practice teacher in the business department, instructs a student on the proper use of the typewriter. Mr. Cortez Peters, Jr. gives our students who are interested in a business career a demonstration on the type¬ writer. His skill at the typewriter keyboard make his demonstration one that was of interest to all who witnessed it. MUSIC Mrs. B. C. O ' Dell Music is the universal language of mankind. The familiar quotation was the underlying theme of the Music Week Extravaganza presented by the Music department. The purpose of this year ' s program was to let the faculty and student body know of the expansion of the depart¬ ment. This year the music department offered to the students courses in consumer music, fundamentals of music, and music appreciation, Chorus-vocal training for beginners and inter¬ students, Advanced Chorus—the major performing vocal music group of our school.

HOME ECONOMICS Even though the Home Economics department is for female students only, it has played an important role in our school. This department helps to mold our girls into young ladies who will be prepared for the future. The first year of Home Economics is a course planned for meet¬ ing the everyday needs of teenage girls. In Home Economics II emphasis is placed on the girl as a member of her family group with the aim of developing wholesome attitudes toward family living. Home Economics III includes individualized experiences with emphasis on various specialized fields including family clothing, parenthood, fabrics, management of family resources, food problems for special occasions, and family meals for different income levels. Home Economics--Food is a course for students who have a special interest in the prepara¬ tion of food. Home Economics—Clothing is designed for students with interest in clothing selections and construction. Elizabeth Hardy Luella Smith Ethel Clemmons Mrs. A. P. Harris and Mrs. M. G. Greene, our Home Economics teachers, take a keen interest in our girls and strive to help them become better young ladies. They share many interesting experiences with the young people in this department through the various activi¬ ties which grow out of classroom work. Stu¬ dents in groups prepare and serve different meals, entertain with teas, formal luncheons and dinners, display fashions they have made. Some students have been active participants in the nursery school program. There they put to use their knowledge of child care. Exhibits of food and clothing throughout the year have provided an opportunity for students and teachers to share their work. Now where did they hide the eggs?

TRADES The Vocational Department at Williston Senior High School serves as a major function in our secondary school system in New Hanover County. It provides practical and technical train¬ ing for a great number of our students who are technically inclined. We have at Williston eight individual trade courses. They are Industrial Cooperative Training, Distributive Education, Introduction to Vocations, Bricklaying, Commercial Cooking, Tailoring, Auto Mechanics, Elec¬ tricity and Drafting. The purpose of these programs is to provide pre-trade and trade experi¬ ence for the students. We are all aware of the ever present shortage of skilled people in every line of technical work. It is hoped that by acquainting our students with the contents of the trade course offered here greater numbers will avail themselves of opportunities available in industry. Each class in the department offers a sequential course content so that learning processes are continuous both theoretically and practically. Mr. Singletary instructs two boys in electricity. I -4. ■ • ' J % The brick masonry classes prac¬ tice what they learn through school and community projects. Mr. Wright is the instructor. C. Pressley works on suit that he is making as a project.

Corbin In the program of physical education vigorous activities are essential for developing and maintaining physical fitness. They directly affect strength, flexibility, endurance and over all well being. Through the use of both large and small muscles of the body, agility and balance may be achieved. The child gains skills as well as an awareness of his own physical capabilities. He is given an opportunity to experience success by improving himself against his own previous record of attainment, or against that of his classmates. These activities also allow for the release of physical and emotional tensions. They build confidence, courage, and determination. Drill team performs for students during assembly. Girls physical education class shows the audience their latest stunt. All children naturally love to climb, jump, roll or imitate. Let us not forget the mental side of physical education to think is to act. First we must gather the thought. The act then follows, as the completion of the thought. The sharp, clear thinking mind in sound, well conditioned body is the ultimate aim of physical education. Miss R. Sutton 36 LEFT TO RIGHT: Peggy Peoples, Freddie Coleman, Gwendolyn Seymore, and Mr. Marvin Johnson check the motor in the car. DRIVER EDUCATION High school students are the product of a motor age. Few homes are without cars. North Carolina has taken a giant step in providing training in driving for all students. The students receive both in the car and classroom instruction. Not only is the technique of driving emphasized, but students are given a knowledge of the operation of the vehicle. Train¬ ing even includes changing tires (girls, too). Following classroom instruction, students take to the open road where they are taught smooth starting, good driving and stopping techniques. Students receive certificates upon completion of this course. 37 Mrs. B. B. Todd Mrs. M. Murray LIBRARY The school library is an integral part of the school program. With its stacks of books, racks of magazines, and reams of newspapers, it beckons each student to come in and drink of the knowledge to be found. If reading tires you, then the staff suggests you listen. With this in mind, a special section has been provided for those who wish to hear the great classics. To aid you in finding books and other materials, volunteer student assistants are on hand each period of the day. Books are the legacies that a great genius leaves to mankind, which are delivered down from generation, as presents to the posterity of those who are yet unborn. Students in art courses share daily their talents with students, teachers, and the community. Designs, color, freehand drawing, lettering, sculpture, graphics, clay modeling and painting are some of the many activities in which the students participate. Art history and appreciation are stressed to give students a better understanding of the background and importance of this subject. Students with special abilities are encouraged to further develop their talents and perhaps pursue commercial art or other fields. L to R: R. Davis, S. Wonce, S. Moore, D. Freeman, and D. McQueen display angles in art. Mrs. K. J. Smith D.E. and I.C.T.

The science department offers biology, chemis¬ try, advanced biology, physics, and physical science. Biology is required of everyone before graduation. This course involves a scientific study of living things and includes an investiga¬ tion of their structure, interdependence and economic importance. Learning how to dissect animals is important in general and advanced biology. Miss Florence Johnson checks the roll before start¬ ing a class in the lesson for the day. Chemistry deals with the structure and reaction of a wide variety of matter. The atmosphere, weights and measures, the states of matter, and specific units on such topics as formulas, col¬ loids, and carbon compounds are included. Advanced biology deals with the origin of life, the study of cells and tissues, heredity, bac¬ teriology, embryology, evolution and the anatomy of the cat. LEFT TO RIGHT: S. Howie, J. Greene, J. McClain and R. Boykin perform physics experiment. Physics is an advanced course for students who wish to continue their education in college or to become engineers. This course includes measurement of work, energy, force and motion, molecular structure of matter, measurement of heat, heat transfer and expansion caused by heat, sound and wave motion, current and static electricity, magnetism, communication and electronics, the nature and control of light, color, illumination, and atomic reactors and the uses of atomic energy. Physical Science is opened primarily to seniors, this course cuts across subject-matter lines, stresses application rather than theory, and deals with modern everyday problems.
