WASHINGTON As we go to press, our hearts are filled with sadness by the announcement of the retirement of our principal, B. T. Washington. Born and educated in the schools of Alabama, Booker T. Washington has always believed in education as an investment. He graduated from Lincoln University in Pennsylvania and began teaching biology in New Hanover County in 1929. He continued his education and received the M.A. degree from the University of Pennsylvania. As principal of Gregory Elementary School, he proved his administrative ability and was subsequently made principal of Williston Senior High School upon completion of the new plant in 1953. Academic excellence was Mr. Washington’s goal at all times. He was sincere in his devotion to his work, the student body, and the general welfare of the staff. No problem was too large, no problem was too small for his attention. Every student was special to him. He gave each one his undivided attention. Williston has lost a true friend in the retirement of its principal. He will be missed by faculty and students. Truly, education has lost one its greatest assets! 2 WILLISTON ... A School to trust with a Sound Investment Knowledge Culture Brotherhood Physical Fitness Knowledge Definite investments have been made through knowledge and education. The true purpose of education is to cherish and unfold the seed of immortality already sown within us; to develop, to their fullest extent, the capacities of every kind. It is knowledge which gives a man a clear, conscious view of his own opinions and judgements, a truth in developing them, and eloquence in expressing them. It prepares him to fill any post with credit, and to master any subject with facility. Through active participation in classwork, athletics, clubs and organizations, each student has gained valuable knowledge and experience that has enabled him to develop in a fourfold manner-mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually. So, then to every man his chance- to every man regardless of his birth, his shining, golden opportunity- to every man, the right to live, to work to be himself, and to become whatever thing his manhood and his vision can combine to make him-this seeker is the promise of America. Thomas Wolfe 4 Culture The term “culture” refers to the products of high civilization —such as literature, art, and phi¬ losophy— its frequent use to de¬ scribe highly educated persons. This existence or possession of culture distinguishes between the educated and the uneducated. There exists in America a youth culture which can be dis¬ tinguished from the adult culture. An analysis of this distinguishing characteristic does not imply that culture cannot be absorbed by both. Instilled in each student is a great desire to be successful in his life’s work. Even though he may occasionally stray from his objec¬ tive, he is continually absorbing the culture of past civilizations and profiting from their successes and failures. Through the many cultural programs and activities presented, each of us has made sound invest¬ ments and developed keen in¬ terests in drama, music, art, and other forms of cultural enjoy¬ ment. From these we gain valu¬ able insight of the cultural world. “If any country in the world could be called the most fortunate recipient of cultural and technical assistance from abroad, America is that country—only at the risk of our souls can we forget that the reason we can be givers to the world now is that we have been takers in the past.” Datus C. Smith, Jr. 5 Brotherhood “We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools.” These words are quoted from the late Dr. Martin Luther King, when he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 on behalf of “all men who love peace and brotherhood.” If there was ever a man who was sincerely devoted to the brotherhood of mankind, Dr. King was that man. His belief was that with faith, we will be able to transform the discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. From Dr. King we take increased devotion to live together in harmony, peace and unity at Williston. Here is an association of students united in a common interest-brotherhood, a bond that ties us together as brothers in this institution of learning. We are able to work together, pray together, and learn together because of our great faith in each other. In our community is a Youth Council Organization which consists of representatives from the three high schools. Through the many activities of this organization, brotherhood is promoted. Displayed socially, as well as educationally, brotherhood has become vital to all of us and has helped us to invest in friendship through unity and harmony. Only through these things can we live together as brothers forever. 6 Physical Fitness “The fitness of our youth is the strength of our nation.” Physical fitness is the ability to demonstrate vigorous physical action. It includes endurance, power, strength, and agility. A student who is physically fit has the ability to combine these traits into smooth, effective action both at work and in play. Each student develops mentally, morally, and physically through physical fitness. The athletic program is designed to present every student with an opportunity to participa te in some physical activity. Through physical fitness, each student has had the opportunity to make sound investments in good health and sportsmanship. 7 Table of Contents %: 1 Curriculum Administration Faculty ctivities Classes Senior Activities Advertisements Senior Directory . v - ' % ■■■■ _ - - • ' - : -$?s ; mMT ' : CURRICULUM ADMINISTRATION 9 ' ' 1 Vt FACULTY - %• ' ' % ■ Sffltf 11 Williston’s energetic and capable assistant principal; handles numerous responsibilities. His desk is the “clearing house” for all finances of the school and he supervises the activity program. He helps promote good student- administration relationships. A former mathematics and science teacher, Mr. Harris is the “jack of all trades” to faculty members and students. He is a tireless and unselfish worker for the betterment of the school. His many talents include a flair for photography that places him in an exceptional category. ADMINISTRATION One of the most important parts of the school system is the administration. This is the founda¬ tion on which the school i s built and the key to the organization of the school and its student. Supervising the over-all situation is Mr. B. T. Washington, the principal. It is his duty to see that the school is functioning properly and that any emergencies which might arise are handled quickly and ably. The daily problems and tasks to be met are numerous; there are notes to send, questions to answer, students to interview, parents to call, as well as much correspondence to answer and to write; all part of the busy day. The principal of Williston Senior High is indeed the executive director. 12 OFFICE STAFF Mrs. Marjorie H. Reid Providing a backbone for the operation of the school, Williston’s experienced secretaries work many long hours at the several clerical tasks assigned to them. Business students enrolled ICT are given workpaid jobs in the office to further increase their knowledge of office skills and office machines. Mrs. Louise M. Ashe Rhonda A. Owens, Student D.

Elise Bridger, Art Instructor Art one, two, and three are offered to the students. Students in art courses share their talents with students, teachers, and the community. Designs, colors, 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. At a recent art show in Greenfield Gardens, several works by Williston students were chosen for the Wilmington College Art Show. Persons visiting the exhibit were high in their praises of our student’s work. Mrs. Bridger has done a tremendous job in developing the artistic ability of the students. Seniors who have shown outstanding ability in art are: Betty Pearson, Robert Williams, Dorothy Riley, Elizabeth Anderson, Cora Wilson, Emanuel Toney, and Willie RJiames. 15 ART STUDENTS AT WORK A drawing by Dorothy Riley is placed on the bulletin board in the main lobby.

EXPERIENCE TODAY PROVIDES SECURITY FOR TOMORROW Left to right are: Mr. Newsome and Mrs. Smith. In Distributive Education and Industrial Co-operative Training, the students spend a portion of the school day in regular classes; the other portion they spend working at a local business. The students earn a small salary, get credit from the school, and achieve the “experience necessary” qualification of many jobs. The students enrolled in this program receive valuable work experience in their chosen occupation while purs uing high school education. The classroom study is divided into the following major units: School and Business Relationships, Sales Development, Business Communication, and Organization for Distribution. A minimum of fifteen hours weekly is required on-the-job training for which an hourly wage is paid by the employer of the student-trainee. This program is designed to provide the students security for tomorrow’s living. 19 Mrs. Smith (right) lectures a distributive education class on sales development and business communications.

A SAFE DEPOSIT FOR THE FUTURE Left to right are: Mrs. Hankins, Mrs. Williams, and Mrs. Draine. The first mark of the educated man or woman is his use of English. Our efficiency in any walk of life will be hindered in a hundred ways by slipshod sentences, stumbling speech, and inability to find the right words to express our meaning. English Two, Three, Four are mandatory for all students. Through these years of English, students can excel their skills in speaking, composing, memorizing, diagraming and punctuating sentences. English Two provides material for a broader appreciation of literature will include selections from the classics as well as those from current writings, which are arranged by types—short story, poetry, nonfiction, and drama. Emphasis is also placed on spelling, pronunciation, and vocabulary improvement. 21 Left to right are: Mr. Ivins, Mr. Clemmons, Mrs. Boykin, and Mr. Walker. English Three includes the development of American literature and a study of the growth of modern American literature and a study of the growth of America through its writers and their contributions. The emphasis in oral and written composition is on the development of a well-organized paragraph, transitional devices in sentences and paragraphs. English Four includes a review in the fundamentals of grammar and composition for those students needing it. This course gives practice in creative expression, letters of application, social correspondence, precis, critical analysis, and a source theme. The literature includes a survey of our English heritage as reflected in the writing of great authors from Anglo Saxon to the present day. 22 Left to right are: Mr. Brandon, Miss Fisher and Mrs. Merrick.

Both ancient and modern languages are included in the school curriculum. Latin is the sole representative of the ancient languages; French and Spanish are the modern languages. As the nations of the world draw closer to each other because of modern transportation and scientific research, it becomes necessary that a great number of students make these courses a part of their curriculum so that they may become more enlightened Americans. The study of foreign language has helped the students expand their knowledge of foreign countries—their geography, history, social organization, literature and culture. Class shown in foreign language lab. Mrs. Williams, the school nurse is shown with student. Snack Bar Workers Left to right are: J. Irving, S. Wilson, J. Cooper, L. Sanders, G. Jenkins, P.

Corbin, and Sponsored by the state of North Carolina. The course consisted of 30 hours of class¬ room study and six hours of driving for each student. The course began with a study of the automobile itself and other important safety rules. The much anticipated driving period taught students driving technique, smooth starting and stopping, parking, turning, and driving on busy highways. After passing the state test, the student received the coveted license. 25 MATHEMATICS . . . CALCULATING DIVIDENDS LOR THE FUTURE Left to right axe: Miss Taylor, Mrs. Newsome, and Mr. Moore. All of the mathematical terms have a special meaning for the students who enrolled in a mathematics class. Students struggled diligently through algebra, geometry, and general math, but only the most industrious tackled the mathematical unknowns of advanced algebra and advanced math. Consumer Mathematics consists of a review of basic mathematical skills with special emphasis on practical application, common and decimal fractions, percentages, budgeting and taxes. Algebra One and Two covers equations, inequalities, graphs, exponents and roots, system of equations, complex numbers, and word problems. Geometry is normally required for college admission. It covers parallelism, congruence of line segments, angles and figures, ratio and proportion, and area and volume relationship. Advanced Mathematics includes determinants permutations and combinations, probability, the binomial theorem, mathematical and induction. 26 MUSIC . . . DEPOSIT TODAY Music may be a study that prepares us for leisure or it may prepare us for a vocation as a music teacher or a professional musician. In accepting the purpose of educating us for leisure, the school has been obliged to consider music as a very important part of the program. The student may take Consumer Music which is designed to give all students a general under¬ standing of music. This course includes a study of the fundamentals of music, the musical instru¬ ments and the highlights of music history. Introductory Chorus is a training chorus for Sophomore boys and girls who have had sufficient background in music for participation in the performing groups. Chorus is a secondary performing group as well as serving as a training class leading to the advanced chorus. Advanced Chorus is the major performing vocal music group. Voice quality and ability to read music or to follow a part are of prime importance for entrance into groups. The Williston Band, which functions as a marching band, a dance band, and a concert band is vital to the various activities of the school. Left to right are: Mrs. O’Dell and Mr. Floyd, Music Instructors. Music Theory is designed for students desiring a broader knowledge of music. Elementary back¬ ground in music fundamentals is a prerequisite to this course and the student must secure the approval of the instructor before signing up. The Band class meets five days a week at a regular class period plus extra class drill three periods a week when necessary. This course is open to the most advanced students by audition and approval of the band director. The work of the band includes instruction in both marching and concert music. 28 The Williston Glee Club received an A rating at the district music festival held at the Williston Junior High School. The Williston Band performed at many occasions during the year in Wilmington and in the nearby cities. 29 PHYSICAL EDUCATION . . . SAVE NOW Left to right are: Mi. Fisher, Miss Sutton, and Mr. Corbin. The purpose of our physical education department is to develop each student physically through physical activities and muscular ex¬ ercises. This program is designed to present every student with an op¬ portunity to participate in some physical activity. In this course, pupils participate in activities that provide an oppor¬ tunity for the development of self- control, self-confidence, and self respect. Emphasis is placed on get¬ ting along with others and living up to the rules of the game. Students experience both success and failure in the playing of games. Vigorous activity adds to general efficiency; it promotes health through diversion and relaxation. Our physical education program provides for physical exercise which promotes good health and helps students gain the poise and confi¬ dence needed for adult living. It proves that a good mind deserves a healthy body. So prepare now for a healthy future. Williston offers physical Educa¬ tion one and two to the students. Change was one of the factors contributing to the excellence in athletics at Williston Senior High School. 30 FOR A HEALTHY FUTURE Physical Education Students perform before student body. 31 R.O.T.C_INVESTING IN A MILITARY FUTURE Left to right are: Major Raymond, Sgt.

A WISE INVESTMENT WITH REWARDING DIVIDENDS Left to right are: Mrs. Howie, Miss Harris, Miss Johnson and Mr. Moore. We do not study science because it is expected that we will become scientists, although some of us will. We study it so that no matter what line of work we follow, we will become the users of the results of science. The digestion of food, the burning of wood, the boiling of water, the rusting of iron, the growth of plants, the control of insects—these are just a few of the hundreds of ways in which we bump up against the world of science. Biology, Physical Science, Chemistry, Advanced Biology and Physics are offered to the students. Sophomores who did not complete Biology at the ninth grade level are required to take this subject. This course involves a scientific study of living things and includes an investigation of their structure, interdependence and economic importance. Special emphasis is placed on the structure and functions of the human body Physical Science stresses applications rather than theory, and deals with modern everyday problems. It is not intended to replace Physics or Chemistry, but it is designed for those students who are interested in science and are not planning to attend college. 33 Physics classes are shown experimenting collision, and gravitational forces and the forces exerted by mercury. Chemistry deals with the struc¬ ture and reaction of a wide variety of matter. The atmosphere, weights and measures, the states of matter, colloids, and carbon compounds are included. Advanced Biology deals with the origin of life, the study of cells and tissues, heredity, bacteriology, embryology, evolution and the anatomy of the cat are some of the major topics of this course. Physics is a quantitive study of the generally recognized areas of Physics.Topics studied include measurement of work, energy, forces and motion, current and static electricity, magnetism, and the uses of atoms. 0 With the help of capable instructors, this enables us to understand better the world of science. Science, of course, is an important investment with many valuable dividends. Chemistry students are shown analyzing pathological and normal urine in the Chemistry lab. 34 YOUR PROFITS INCREASE GREATER THROUGH KNOWLEDGE IN SOCIAL STUDIES Left to right are: Mrs. Keith, Mr. Walker, Mr. Lowe, and Mrs. Baham. During this school year, students in the Social Studies Department have been concerned with history’s first feeble beginning to our present day situation in Viet Nam. World History is a survey of man’s historical background. The major civilizations 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. United States History is required of all students for graduation. This course aims to develop a better understanding of the major events and movements which have taken place in the making of our nation. The study of United States Hist ory begins with a review of the European events leading up to the discovery of America, tire beginning of the colonial period and traces the history of the United States through the present time. Government is also mandatory of all students for graduation. This course includes a study of national, state, and local governments. National and international problems of social, political, and economic nature are discussed. Current affairs are stressed and correlated with textual material. 35 Left to right are: Mr. Clemons, Mrs. Telfair, and Mr. Fisher. Sociology is a course designed to help the students see himself as a social being in a complex society made up of various social groups. The effects of these groups on individuals are stressed. Our culture and its effects on us are studied. The various institutions are studied, the relationship of one institution to another is emphasized, and the needs which institutions fill are stressed. Emphasis is placed on character development, the social graces, and good manners. 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. Economics help to explain the operation of our modern economic institutions and to familiarize the students with some of our present day economic problems. This course is especially recommended for those students who plan to go into selling, buying, or in business for themselves. Humanities covers the development of culture in all its aspects. The student will understand and interpret cultural development through history, philosophy, literature, art, and music. The study of social studies helps us to find our places as capable and responsible citizens. A wise investment in social studies today, can bring profitable gains tomorrow. 36 HOME ECONOMICS . . . DEPOSIT NOW FOR SECURITY IN HOMEMAKING Left to right are: Mrs. Green and Mrs. Harris. Home economics prepares young ladies to become successful homemakers. This department helps to mold our girls into young ladies who will be prepared for the future. Home economics one includes good grooming, personal and social development, selection and care of the wardrobe and the planning and preparation of breakfasts, and simple luncheons.

Home Economics Students are concerned with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes so essential for all girls as they prepare for their future roles in family living. Child care is one of the phases of the Home economics course. 38 Commercial Cooking WORLD RENOV Auto Mechanics 40 Drafting Class Brick Masonry Class 41 Shown at left is a tailoring class. Trained industrialists play a significant role along the paths of the world today. What would our world be like today without carpenters, electricians, and brick layers. The Trade Department at Williston Senior High School provides practical and technical training for a great number of our students who are technically inclined. We have eight individual trade courses. They are industrial cooperative training, distributive education, introduction to vocations, bricklaying, commercial cooking, tailoring, auto mechanics, electricity and drafting. Each class in the department offers a sequential course so that learning processes are continuous both theoretically and practically. 42 THE LIBRARY ... A BANK OF KNOWLEDGE Mrs. B. B. Todd, Librarian The library of Williston Senior High School proved to be an important aid to the pupils again this year. The wide variety of books served as references for the pupils’ term papers, book reports, and other research assignments. The library was also used as a place of study. It was open to pupils before and after school, during lunch periods, and each class period of the day. Teachers also found the library helpful. They made use of the library’s collection of newspaper and magazines which the library staff kept current. Teachers also took individual classes to the library for research projects, and acquaintance with general library procedure. The librarian is aided by a group of student assistants. These pupils check books in and out, deliver notices to pupils concerning overdue books, and collect fees for the late books. 43 STUDENT COUNCIL A SOUND The Student Council of any school invests in the welfare of its student body. It serves as the link between the student and the school administration. The Council also serves to promote understanding and an interest in school and civic affairs. It is here, in Council meeting, that good leaders are produced and student participation is encouraged. The Council began its yearly activities with orientation services held for newcomers in the Williston family. Other activities that followed include a luncheon for faculty and administration, Awards Day and May King and Queen Contest, which are both annual Council projects.

The objectives of the Library Club are (1) to sponsor greater interest among the students in libraries and library service (2) to stimulate read¬ ing interest and (3) to improve the library service of the school. Among the many activities of the Library Club this year are a dance sponsored by the Club, the a nnual trip to the club convention in Lumberton, N.

For this reason, a good annual staff is a basic necessity. Here you see them busily laying out all sections of the annual. Part of the staff are represented here sorting out pictures for senior, junior, and sophomore classes. 60 .1 Winston Price Editor in Chief Gladys J.

If At First You Don’t Succeed Try-Try Again WORDS FROM THE WISE Sports by their very nature are enjoyable, chal¬ lenging, all absorbing, com¬ petitive and require a certain amount of skill and physical conditioning. Sports participation and apprecia¬ tion have become the American way of life. Of course we realize that exer¬ cise and active participation is beneficial to the individual and almost everyone re¬ gardless of age, amount of skill, or physi¬ cal condition can find some sport or sports in which he can take part. There is not only physical activity but there is also educational or learning activity to go with it. 1967-1968 TRACK TEAM On Your Mark! From left to right: Coach Fisher, B. Abraham, D. Moss, E.

FEATURES “To get a name can happen to few—it is one of the few things that cannot be bought. It is the free gift of mankind which must be deserved before it will be granted, and it is at last unwillingly bestowed”. —Samuel Johnson Outstanding features of the school year—Miss Williston Coronation, May King and Queen, etc. serve to illustrate a bit of the typical school life at Williston Senior High School. These happen¬ ings provided much of the humor and fun that made school life amusing and exciting. Memories of these events-beautiful or inspiring, amusing or hilarious—will linger long after other dates have been forgotten.

Each year a boy and girl representative from each homeroom class via for the title of May King and Queen. The homerooms sell candy, doughnuts, pop corn, raffle records, give dances, and the like in order to r aise enough money for its candidates to win. The contest proves exciting right to the very end when both King and Queen are crowned. This year’s winners are representatives from Mrs. Murphy’s 10th grade class. They are: Queen Miss Linda Mingo and King, Mr. Victor Hussey, 1st runner up, from Miss D. J. Harris’s 11th grade homeroom class: Miss Loretta Harriott and Mr. Anthony Howard. 2nd runners up from Mr. I. E. Moore’s class: Miss Norma Campbell and Mr. Willie L. Lranks. Prizes given to the winning contestants are: luggage—King and Queen record players—1st runner up swinger cameras—2nd runner up MAY KING AND QUEEN CONTEST 79 ■ ' ■‘ ' MiJT ' SENIORS v ' v. The class of 1968 began their roles of di stinction with the vigor that had marked the classes before them. As their memorable year comes to an end, each Senior prepares for his long journey into life. “Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness.” SENIORS UTILIZE KNOWLEDGE SENIORS D. Sweat—Chaplain, Y. Johnson—Treas., K. Reid-President, Mrs. L. Williams-Advisor, C. Lowery—Vice Pres., B. Randall-Sec., A. Gaines-Assistant Secretary. Now is the hour—our Seniors are ready to use the interest received on their investment. After a school year of much work and occasional fun, the seniors are ready to enter the world of work or higher education. This school year has been a year of both sadness and excitement. It was sad because of the loss of a beloved Negro leader, Dr. Martin Luther King. To show our respects we marched peacefully and reverently in his honor. It was exciting because of the many activities in the life of a senior, from that very first day in September, 1967, to graduation in June, 1968. May we remind the Seniors, as you leave high school, take all the things you’ve learned here with you, not so much to treasure, but to use as a part of the life just beyond the horizon. May you invest wisely in all the world has to offer. Class Theme: We have a dream—Unity, Peace, Success Class Colors: Lime green and moss green.

This is the end of the second year for our juniors and the beginning of the last. Each junior boy and girl realizes how close he is to that glorious year and is motivated to strive even harder next year. This year has been exciting for them. The juniors have been very busy maintaining good grades to be eligible for both the National Honor Society and the Crown and Scepter Clubs. They climaxed their activities with the Junior-Senior Prom, which was the highlight of the year. 102 Beverly Aiken Constance Atkinson Keith Bailey Kathleen Baldwin Joan Beatty Bedwick Bellamy Larry Bellamy Janice Benjamin Cleopatra Bennett Carrie Berry Verne 11 B landing Carol Bracy Ingrid Bradley Gloria Brinkley Dorothy Brown Elenor Brown Sadie Brown Shirleen Brown Vernell Brown Bernard Brunson Jacquline Brunson Cornelius Bryant Elaine Campbell Elmer Campbell Albert Canty 103 Carolyn Canty Mattie Canty Margie Charles Joan Cobbs Edward Coleman Joe Conyers Tharia Corbett Carol Davis Cheryl Davis Reba Davis Rosalind Davis Willie Mae Davis Yvonne Doughty James Dixon Loretta Dingle Gayle Dixon Vertella Farrow Deloris Felder Linda Fillyaw Betty Floyd Johnny Floyd Beverly Frazier Diane Freeman Bernard Gailes Janet Genwright 104 Cynthia Grady Mary Grady Carolyn Grainger Gwendolyn Grear Gwendolyn Halls Larry Hamilton Gwendolyn Harris Cynthia Harrison Orethia Harrison Freddie Hankins James Hayes Anita Haynes Loretta Herriot Evelyn Hollis Lonnie Howard Freida Humphrey Sheila Hussey Jackson Jackson Joyce Jackson Gerald James Alice Jenkins Patricia Jennings Wanda Johnson Shirley Keaton Gwendolyn Kee 105 Rita Lane Gwendolyn Langley Larry Lawrence Virginia Lawrence Barbara Lee Janet Lennon Cherie Lloyd Pernell Lowe Betty Lyde Marcia MacRae Patricia McClaire Dorothy McClammy Helen McClammy Rachel McCullough Carolyn McDonald Brenda McDuffie Debra McGhee Carrie McIntyre Frances McKoy Alice McMillian Janice Melvin Eloise Mitchell Cleveland Moore Joyce Moore Maiming Moore 106 Willie Myers Linda Nash Larry Newkirk Crosby Nixon Robert Nixon Reginal Pace Elijah Parrot Alexander Pearson Ruth Peoples Antoinnette Pickett Jacquline Pittman Jacquline Pridgen Lora Pringle Sally Ragin Victoria Rhames William Rhames Leonard Rice Lorenza Robinson Sandra Robinson Wanda Robinson Gwendolyn Rogers Gloria Roland Lamess Ross Linda Russ Alexander Salter 107 Jacquline Sampson James Sansbury Naomi Shepard Charles Small Clarence Smith Ethel Simpson Gloria Smith Janis Smith Altha Sneed Harold Southerland Patricia Southerland Artis Stukes Johnnie Mae Sutton Barbara Taylor Harry Taylor Shirley Taylor Eddie Temoney Hezikiah Temoney Hermanski Thigpen William Thomas Larry Thompson Debbie Tindall Ophelia Tindall Wilhemia Toney Willie Toney 108 Shirley Trapp Harold Tyndall Patricia Wade 11 Judy Walker Audrey Walter Minnie Walters Clifford White Gerald White Johnnie White Alona Williams Barbara Williams Daphaline Williams Ruth Williams Wilma Williams Zilphia Williams Brenda Wilson Gail Wilson Rebecca Wilson Doretha Wortherly JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM no V?

Looking forward to even better years at Williston, they hold fast to all of its ideals with the determination to come out on top. 114 Ernest Age Jewel Aikens Alonza Allen William Allen Sandra Alston Janet Barfield Betty Batts Henry Batts Joyce Batts Marie Beatty Veronica Becote Saundra Bell Sandra Bell Miriam Berry Patricia Bethune Lisa Blackledge Helen Blount Gloria Boney Ernestine Bowman Leon Bowman Brenda Bradley Rodderick Braye Sylvia Brimmage Geraldine Brisbon Annie Brown Jacquline Brown Maxine Brown Jacquline Bryant Mary Bryant Bonnie Bullock Patricia Burton Jackie Butler Wendell Butler Earl Bunting Alberta Carlos Benjami Chadwick 115 Roberta Clark Charles Clay Edna Conyers Alfred Corbett Terry Crummy Joseph David Gwendolyn Davis Mary Davis Roger Davis Feebie Denkins Arthur Diggs Willie Dixon Alice Dorsey Geraldine Dorsey Irving Dowe James Dreher Alonza Feaster Brendolyn Fillyaw Gwendolyn Fox Brenda Foy Freddie Foy Fola Franks Jacquline Fullard Peggy Grady Ruby Grady Shirlene Grady Sylvia Grady Annette Green Chappel Green Herman Green Jonathan Green Karen Greene Ruth Green Johnny Gregg Janice Hall Wilihmenia Hankins 116 Barbara Hardy Maggie Harris Shelia Harris Viloa Hawkins Jacquline Hayes Janice Hayes Walter Herring Valeria Hill Ella Hines Ernest Holiday Joyce Holiday James Holmes Joyce Holmes Leon Holmes Stelena Holmes Victor Hussey Elizabeth Jacdobs Emanuel James Fredrick James Gracie Jenkins Joseph Jenkins Sylvinia Jenkins Charles Jenwright Allen Johnson Christie Johnson Nathaniel Johnson James Johnson Patricia Johnson Andre Jones Annie Jones Brent Jones Cynthia Jones Jennifer Jones Melvin Jones Sheryl Jones Malcolm Jordon 117 Rosa Junious Rosa Kelly Joyce King Marion Lacewell Rosalyn Lee Micheal Lennon Felicia Lloyd Lizzie Locke Harvey London Yvonne Long Eleanor McAllister Mitzi McClammy Robert McCleary Jerome McCloud Anthony McDonald Patricia McKoy Annie McLean Patrici a McMillian William Mallette Cynthia Mack Sylvia May Marilyn Miller Shelton Miller Linda Mingo Patricia Mitchell Secretse Mitchell Cardell Moore Clifton Moore Maxine Moore Samuel Moore Kaye A.

Students from this school will be absorbed by three other schools in the community. The staff and sponsors hope that each person who receives this final copy of “The Willistonian” will cherish the many memories it holds and bid all members of the Williston family a fond farewell. 158 llpgSsj , ■- X 5 v . • • . • --V -.k ' y: lr ’ tM¥?
