Donate Student Work to the Archives

Williston student Charley Nash wrote this paper in 1877.

nash paper

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,
Richard Teller ’70
Archivist & Asst. Librarian

Spring Senior Dinner Tonight

Spring Senior Dinner is Friday, May 15, and the Class of 2015 will have its official portrait taken that evening at 5:30 p.m. in the Phillips Stevens Chapel (on the steps in good weather; in the Chapel if it’s raining). Science teacher Erin Davey will give the faculty address at dinner, which begins at 6:00 p.m. in the Birch Dining Commons. It’s sure to be a great night!

Because the Senior Dinner is happening in the Birch Dining Commons, class dinners will be held elsewhere on campus. The freshmen will meet in front of the 194 Main Street dorm; the sophomores will gather in the rear of the Athletic Center at the grassy section south of Sawyer Field; and the juniors will meet in front of Memorial Hall. If it rains, all classes will be in the Athletic Center. There will be barbeques with lawn games and other activites for the underclassmen from 5:30-7:00 p.m.

The varsity softball team has qualified for the tournament for the second year in a row and will have a play-in game tomorrow (Friday) at Loomis at 3:00 p.m. Congratulations to the following players!
