MERRILL F. FULLMER Western Illinois State Teachers B. Ed. University of Iowa M. A. Dear Mr. Fullmer: In our daily life we have so many friends who are constantly working with us and for us that we often take them for granted. But as days and years pass by, one by one they will leave us, until often, much to our regret, we are left alone. Many times we cannot express what we feel in our hearts when a good friend takes leave; but we can keep before us the fact that now others can share in his kindness and generosity, and benefit from his ideals. You will forget us, but yon have left an indelible mark of honesty and straightfor- wardness on our characters. You have shown us how to shoulder responsibility and face the world light-hearted and smiling. We hope you have enjoyed your years at F. T. H. S. as much as we have. And we wish to take this opportunity to wish you all the success possible in your new position. 10 Sincerely, THE STUDENT BODY.

FAREWELL FAREWELL We will miss him; yes, we’ll miss Mis cheery greetings in the hall. You’d hear his friendly “hello there” In winter, spring and fall. He loved to laugh and whistle While going about his work. And though quite often he was tired, His job he’d never shirk. He was a faithful principal; In his work he had a pride; And when some problem came his way He’d take it in a stride. He had a kind and gentle heart; He was glad to lend a hand; When something was not going right, We knew he’d understand. We all have learned to love him, 7'o like his cheerful ways. And we will miss him Through all our high school days. Lie’s going and we’ll miss him, But our friendship will not wane. Mr. Fullmer we’ll remember And our loss will be “their” gain. —By Marcella Kiper. ROBERT W. CUMMINS Due to the resignation of Mr. Fullmer, Mr. Cummins was appointed by the board to take over his duties. We wish to commend him on the fine leadership he has given us in this se- mester. Farewell, Mr. Fullmer! We’re sorry to see you go. You were really wonderful, Gee! It’s going to be hard though Not seeing your friendly smile, To greet us every day, Not to see you do your cheer That made everything feel so gay! Not to hear your familiar pacing Up and down each aisle, Not to have you planning our activities, And never hear you on a rile! ’Tis no wonder though That you had many a frown, For we kids were often very disturbing, When you weren’t close around. We hope that you will have one swell time, It’s such a little to ask, We’re going to miss you considerably, but We wish you luck at your new task. By Donna Schroeder. 11
