Burgaw High School Yearbooks Available Online

A handful of student yearbooks from Burgaw High School are now available in the North Carolina High School Yearbooks collection. The yearbooks, from the years 1956 through 1962, are from the local history collection at the Pender County Public Library.

I’m embarrassed to admit that it took us a while to figure out the origin of the title of the yearbooks: “The Wagrub.” We thought first that it might be a Native American name, or maybe something from a school song or cheer, before finally realized that it is, simply, the name of the town spelled backwards.
 
These yearbooks complement other materials from the Pender County Public Library already available on DigitalNC, including a great set of scrapbooks compiled by the Burgaw Jaycees in the 1950s.
