Cnoss ADMINISTRATION Probably the greatest single figure in the history of Freeport High School is now in charge of the administration of the institution. Principal L. A. Fulwider, who is a man of vision, high ideals, and executive ability, has been a consistent and inspiring leader, and the high ranking which the school has continued to hold all over the United States is in no small way directly owing to his ability to put into force his ideals. Workirlg under the disadvantages resulting necessarily from the lack of accommodations for the rapidly growing school, he has made Freeport High School a real educational force. Given a capable, far-seeing leader, there needs to be only loyal and able support of his leadership, to produce the best results. Mr. Fulwider has been peculiarly fortunate in this respect, since his co-administrative heads, including Miss Allie M. Reitzell, assistant principal, Mrs. L. L. Kidd, secretary to the principal, and Mr. Charles H. Cross, financial manager of the school activities, each combine the quali- ties of loyalty, initiative, and good judgment. Miss Reitzell's record of devotion to school interests is a splendid and a valuable one, and it has been her chief ambition to add to that record service in the new building. Mrs. Kidd, too, has been unselfish of her time and services, giving of them generously, whether the occasion was that of heading a drive for pennants to decorate the new gymnasium, or helping to systematize the school records. Together, she and Miss Reitzell worked out a new and much improved recording system, which was put into effect this year. On Mr. Cross's capable shoulders have rested the financial advisorship of all the school enterprises, for a number of years, and, as proof of his careful supervision, we see the successful results of all these undertakings. He has handled the finances of all athletic affairs-including the district tournament. Managers of the class plays, the operetta, the Annual Polaris, and the band concert are in his debt for sound, helpful advice and direction. These four faculty administrators have been assisted by a number of dependable students, who have served in the capacity of 0lTlCC girls. The office girls included Beryl Bennethum, Isabel Penticod, Dorothy Harroun, Velma Wachlin, Ruth Fosha, Elizabeth Hadley, Madgalen Ilgen, Margaret Fuss, Ruth Seidel, Elizabeth Anderson, and Leona Nesbit. 5' .Y L, . 1 'YJ Eleaiiz

PFENDER OUR BOARD or EDUCATION For a long time our new high school was iust a vision of the imagination, but to-day it is a reality. The beautiful, spacious school, which we hoped and longed for, is almost completed. To whom do we owe this accomplishment? XVe owe it to all who have labored so loyally to make this dream of ours a reality. Foremost among these people are the members of the Freeport Board ofEducation. These men have unselfishly given of their time and energy in order that we might have the educational advantages which the new building will afford. They have cooperated with our principal, Mr. L. A. Fulwider, on every occasion, with this as their primary aim, proving themselves real friends of the school. We wish to express our appreciation in a special manner for their having made it possible to have our athletic held and splendid gymnasium already completed. We feel that we can never fully repay them for the time which they have so willingly spent for us, especially for the completion of these two objects. Indirectly, we owe much of the credit to the members of the board of education for the prominent place Freeport has attained in athletics. The splendidly equipped athletic field inspired our football team to earn the highest honor possible,-that of claiming the national championship. In addition, the possession of such a stadium gave to the rest of the students more of a desire really to support the team and win the games. When we attended games in other cities and saw their athletic fields, we appreciated our own field more than ever. Words cannot adequately express our appreciation of the new gymnasium. This, likewise, gave the team an added incentive to uphold the standard of Freeport High. The opening year of the gymnasium was littingly celebrated by Freeport's winning the state championship in basket ball. The pep and vim which the acquisi- tion of our new gymnasium instilled in us, as students, were remarkable. As this school building nears Completion, it seems more wonderful than ever that our vision is at last an actual realization. lt is, therefore, to the board of educa- tion that we express our sincere appreciation and gratitude. l Tm
