“The youth of today should
take advantage of every oppor
tunity that is offered them and
try to secure an education, be
cause it is the greatest weapon
one can possess.” says Mr. Charles
F. Williams, president of the Lin
coln High School Parent-Teach
ers Assocation. He went on, “I
will work to the best of my ability
to make the organization a suc
cess.”
Attired in navy trousers, sky
blue shirt, and brown shoes, as
I interviewed him, Mr. Williams
talked freely and pleasantly.
“When I was elected I was glad
to know that the people had
enough confidence in me to be
stow upon me such an honor. I
don’t feel that I am indispens
able. With full cooperation the
Parent-Teachers Association can
be the greatest organization in the
community. Without it, there will
be little success. Any parent in
terested in his child and who has
any love or devotion for his
child will support the P. T. A.
program,” he added.
Mr. Williams, an insurance
’ salesman, born May 4, 1917 in
' Durham, North Carolina, attend
ed Walltown Elementary School
in his home town and continued
his schooling until he was gra
duated from high school in 1936.
I Before entering high school, he
; had the misfortune of losing is
j father. His mother, having al-
I ready deceased, he stayed with
i his sister.
After graduation from North
Carolina College at Durham,
North Carolina in 1942 he applied
for the job of insurance salesman
and was succesful in obtaining it.
Residing in the territory in which
he was working was a young
woman whom he came to like.
As one thing led to another, he
was soon leading her to the dllei,
making her Mrs. Charles F. Wil
liams.
This highly esteemed gentle
man is fond of sports. Since
traveling is part of his job, he
always finds time, but not so often
the money, to travel.
Can It Be Possible?

Chapter 1
By Martha Norwood
Science is on the move and
man is rapidly progressing. Dis
covery follows discovery and in
vention follows invention. Many
years ago our forefathers never
dreamed that someday a great
iron bird would fly from country
to country, a great ship would
sail from shore to shore, a mere
wire would carry one’s voice mil
lions of miles or the many other
miracles of today would be ac
complished.
As time passes man is constant
ly looking around for a chance
to invent, discover, or perfect.
More than ever, mans eyes wan
der to our neighboring planets,
Saturn, Jupiter and Mars. Often
does man ask himself the ques
tions—are there inhabitants on
these planets? Are they as ad
vanced as we are? If interplane
tary travel were discovered.
I would they become our friends
or our enemies? Have methods
, for interplanetary travel already
been discovered by our neighbors?
All men ask each other the same
question—Can IT BE POSSI
BLE?
Day dawns in the small city
of Chapel Hill. To the inhabitants
of this small community, there
seems to be nothing unusual
about the new day. The people
prepare, as usual for another day’s
; work. Yes this town seems to be
surrounded by a garb of hap-
j piness dispite the constant bic-
i kering between James and Ome-
j lia and the Jones twins, nor De-
I lores Walker’s disappointment at
I missing her bus to school.
The people of Chapel Hill are
unaware that this day will go
I down in the history of Chapel
I Hill as it’s most unforgettable
I day.
