Four lin illlemnriam By GENEVIEVE STEWART The late Wilbur N. Fuller, for eleven years principal of Beaumont High School, was born on January 5, 1881, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He attended grammar school and high school in Grand Rapids. After graduation from the University of Michigan, he taught there. When he came to Saint Louis, in 1904, his immediate success was not only apparent but very remarkable because of his youth. He was only twenty-three. He was placed at Yeat- man High School in the capacity of a science teacher. Later he was advanced to the principalship of the same school, and when Beaumont High was built in 1926. he was appointed principal. At Beaumont he will be remembered for many reasons. He understood and be- lieved in the pupil. He knew how to keep a large body of different-viewed persons in harmony and happiness. In furthering outside activities he connected them inti- mately with school life. He directed sports, and through him Beaumont High gained envied trophies and wide admiration. Many fine tributes have been given to Mr. Fuller, but it seems to us most im- portant would be that he gave to Beau- mont High School the best of himself and all that Beaumont stands for has risen from his ideal.
