Fillmore Central School - Crest Yearbook (Fillmore, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 72 of the 1952 volume:

ALMA MATER There's a banner floating o'er us. That we all adore. There's a sacred song and chorus Hail! O Hail! Fillmore! Chorus — Where the valley of the river Meets the eastern sky, Proudly stands our Alma Mater — Dear old Fillmore High. As the years of time roll onward. And life's work is done. Thoughts of thee, fond Alma Mater, Back to us will come. FOREWORD The Crest staff of 1951-52 introduces to you, the students of Fillmore, a new theme, The Eagles . Each and every one of us wants to be known as an Eagle and we are proud of it. Our yearbook is cen- tered around this idea and in years to come you'll think back and see what fun we had as Eagles. Through the combined efforts of the Crest staff and our advis- ors, we bring you this yearbook. Our yearbook is a record of school friendships. We hope you will find pleasure in looking at the yearbook today; and in the tomorrows to come may you find enjoyment in the memories which this issue of the Crest offers. CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION CLASSES SPORTS ACTIVITIES ADVERTISEMENTS THE CREST 1952 Published by Students FILLMORE CENTRAL SCHOOL FILLMORE, NEW YORK Vol. V DEDICATION We the Crest Staff of 1951-52 are proud and happy in making our dedication this year. During our years of school, we met on our way, a teacher who has helped us reach our goal as high school students. She has taught us all to be honest and upright citizens. Through her 41 years of teach- ing at F.C.S. she has guided many pupils and she has always treated them in the same kind, gentle manner. Of course at times, as in every teacher's life, there were moments when some discipline had to be ap- plied to the boy who pulled the pigtails of the little girl sitting in front of him, but such moments have only strengthened the respect held for her. All in all her teaching at F.C.S. has been highly successful. And so to you. Miss Josephine Butler, we dedicate Our Crest with our best wishes and the hope that you may have happiness and the satisfaction found in a job well done the rest of your life. THE CREST STAFF We dedicate this book to you, MISS JOSEPHINE BUTLER THE CREST STAFF The beginning of The Eagles as the school symbol was the ma- jor achievement of the Crest Staff this year. Also they have worked hard and long to produce a bigger and better yearbook.

CONSERVATION CLUB The Conservation Club is a newly organized club in our school. It is open to boys of the 7th and 8th grades only. With Mr. Klesphen and Mr. Larson as advisors, the boys are taught the importance of Conservation, how they can better it, and what it does for them. TOAD TROTTERS This year the biology club did several interesting things.
