When I was asked a year ago by the Centennial Showcase planning committee to direct the Williston's Centennial show, I didn't fully realize the vast number of people that would be needed in order to plan, coordinate and produce Williston's 100th birthday celebration. Initially the idea of producing a centennial show seemed simple enough (although there was some mention of using elephants in the opening parade); I knew fully well that a script would need to be written, music and dance numbers selected, actors, singers and dancers found, and a production staff assembled. Needless to say, the production process has proven to be far from simple; at times our organizational attempts were comparable to the putting together of a Barnum and Bailey three ring circus. However, with the help of an excellent production staff headed by Chairman Gary Bickel, the show has come together one piece at a time. The preparation, though long and tedious at times, has been a rewarding experience that has provided many of us on the production staff with not only a better understanding of the city's marvelous heritage, but also a greater appreciation and respect for the community we proudly honor. Dan Landes Director

The Williston Centennial Commission began making plans for this production in 1984 when they enlisted the aid of a professional pageant production company headquartered in Philadelphia. After almost two years of planning, it was decided that Williston had many talented people who could produce a professional show at less cost and without outside assistance. At that point, we organized the Century Showcase Committee and laid plans for the production you are about to see. The Century Showcase Committee was divided into 18 sub-committees made up of many, many local volunteers that have spent many endless hours putting this production on stage. It would be impossible to express my sincere appreciation to each individual for their many contributions. However, I would like to single out one individual, Dr. Dan Landes, who wrote and directed Century Showcase. Thank you, Dan. It was a pleasure working with you. Also, a very special "thank you" to all the many hundreds of people who either served on committees or performed in Century Showcase. It is only because of their cooperation and tireless energy that Century Showcase became a reality. In addition, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to you, our audience, for attending this show. No production is ever a success without an appreciative audience. Now, sit back and enjoy our Centennial Production, "Century Showcase." Gary Bickel Show Chairman U We are pleased to welcome you to "Century Showcase". The tremendous effort that has gone into this production will be very evident as you enjoy the performance this evening. The Show Committee has spent months writing, recruiting, directing and generally organizing this, Williston's 100th Birthday Show. As co-chairmen, we wish to congratulate and extend our best wishes to each and every one involved in the "Showcase" production and also extend an invitation to each of you to attend all of the festivities during the celebration. Again, welcome to the Century Showcase and to Williston, it's great to see you here to celebrate with us. Sincerely yours, Cynt/u Schaff and Frances Natwick Geneml Co-Chairmen Cyndy Schaff Frances Natwick D t a r Ci ^h owe^ ^ As mayor of Williston, it is a pleasure to welcome you to the City of Williston's 100th Birthday Celebration and to the Century Showcase Pageant. We are happy you are here and hope you can sit back, relax, and enjoy this exciting look into the past that is being presented to you today.

It was taught by Mr. Witt- meier and consisted of fifteen pupils. A log building on the Douglas Bell lots was the next school house. Mr. Marelius' barn on the present Heffernan Livery site, a granary on the present Congregational church site, where the Federal Building will short ly be built; the Bergh Hotel—now the Columbia— the old Odd Fellows Hall, and the old court house, now the Williston Bakery, were used as school houses at various times. The first real school house built was the building now known as the Hildreth «§«* flats, which was moved across the street when it was no longer large enough to accommodate the increasing enrollment. The present Central school building was put up in 1899, but for a time a few rooms accom modated all our pupils. In 1903, when our pre CENTRAL SCHOOL sent superintendent took charge, only six rooms were in use, and the enrollment numbered 300, only 21 being in the High School. Two years ago the Westlawn School was built and is as neat, substantial, well-planned, and well-built a school building as can be found in the country. It is ventilated by a system of fan ventila tion, run by an electric motor—a system that works to perfection. During the past half dozen years, the Central building has been gradually remodeled until the interior presents an appearance as well decorated and artistic as is likely to be found anywhere. Both buildings are provided with sanitary drinking fountains, inside lavatories, and in fact, all other accessories and equipment which go to make a building of the most approved modern type. During the school year 1903-04, the High School was made a state High School of the third class, and in the succeeding three years was suc WEBSTER SCHOOL cessively raised to second and first class, and now, during the present year, we have been placed on the list of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Besides the work of the grades and the ordinary High School subjects, we have special teachers for music, manual training, athletics, and domestic science. The assessed valuation of the school district is now over a million dollars, the school enrolls 750 pupils, the High School 128. There are twenty-one teachers in the school, eight being employed in the High School. As has been seen by the foregoing facts, our school has been steadily advancing with the growth of the city and, judging from the interest shown by the citizens of Williston in education, we may safely predict that our school will continue to advance. 7^ Pa$e Sfi 23 A o / C WILLISTON HIGH SCHOOL p WILLISTON SCHOOL SONG All out for Williston Orange and black forever Sing a song of praise Loyal we will be Banner ever flowing We'll do or die r Good old high school days And fight for victory. n RAH!

They were always genuinely concerned about their responsibilities to their fellow man, and their social responsibilities as citizens. They were always counted among the leaders of all worthwhile endeavors. It is still the people, and the communities we serve, to which the Williston Credit Union is committed.

In October, 1934 a National Charter was applied for and the name was changed to First & Commercial National Bank. First & Commercial experienced steady growth and withstood the economic hardships of the "Dirty 30's" without loss to depositors while banks in the area and across the U.S. were failing. In February, 1940 the bank's name was changed to First National Bank in Williston. Ronald C. Crighton, a local automobile dealer, purchased control of the bank in 1943. The present site at 22 East 4th St. was purchased in 1963 with ground being broken in 1964 for the new building which opened in 1965. From its begin ning, FNB has been a community owned bank with a diversity of stockholders from the Williston area. Expanding on this philosophy, Mr. Crighton made stock available for sale in February, 1963 and the number of stockholders increas ed from 18 to 103. An addition was added to the east side in 1969. Directors brought Trust Services to the Williston area in 1970 after receiving approval from the Comptroller to establish a Trust Department. The depart ment was readily accepted by the community and today directs assets of more than $50MM. In July, 1973 the name changed to First National Bank & Trust Co. of Williston to reflect the addition of the Trust Department. The North Branch on Hwy. 2 North, with 6 drive-in lanes, was opened in April, 1980 ana provides North Williston with convenient banking services. Directors purchased property south of the Main Bank for construction of a drive-in facility and added to the West side to house the Trust Department in 1982. Today, after serving the Williston area for 61 years, FNB has footings of $105MM, Capital & Reserves of $14MM. FNB is a community bank with 353 stockholders who have seen their investments grow as equity capital increased. The present Board of Directors include: Robert Wanago, Ardean Aafedt, M.R.
