Williston student Charley Nash wrote this paper in 1877.

That’s right, 138 years ago, one year after Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.  And the paper is still here, in the Archives, along with much other student work.

It is essential that we continue this tradition.  So . . . what academic work are you proud of?  Shouldn’t it be in the Archives?

We’d like representative examples of good student work in every subject and at every level, whether you’re a senior or in the 7th grade.  We do a lot of things at Williston, but the academic program is the most important part of it, and it is vital that we document what we do.

You can submit your work on paper or via email.  But please do .  As I might have said once or twice or a hundred times, it’s your history.

(And who was Charley Nash after he left Williston?  I have no idea.  That’s not the point!)

Thanks,
