Who put the 1961 Williamsburg High School yearbook together? Why the “Tattler” officers and staff of course. Working all year to pull together the most important publication of the school year, editor-in-chief Helen Symons galvanized her staff to create a keepsake that looked great and was chock full of information. Using “Time” as the dominant theme, and offering a personal dedication to Mrs. Marjorie McKusick, the “Tattler” staff created a book full of class memories and more. The two beautiful endpaper photographs of autumn and spring accentuate the passage of time over their school year. Pictured below is the “Tattler Team” in 1961.
