CLASS HISTORY And now, at last. the four-year course is run. think the Seniors, with a retrospective glance at the past. The hard work and good times of the past four years spent together shall linger long in the memory of all. The fall of 1941 found our class entering their Freshman year with twenty-nine members. Our officers were: President, Doris Marion Chris- tianceg Vice-President, Walter Dufelg Secretary, Margaret Ann Ruckg Treas- urer, Donald 'VVilty. Miss Vivien Bergen was our class advisor. Although our money-making activities were limited, we did sell quite a few maga- zines. In june we enjoyed a picnic at Caroga Lake. We managed to survive the bewildering perplexities of our Freshman year and came safely through as Sophomores in 1942. XYe had one new- comer that year, james Douglass: and we also lost several of our other mem- bers, Doris Marion Christiance, Donald VVilty, P'hilena Bolster, Helmuth Miller, Helen Sawaski, Melvin Rose, and Harold Robinson. Our activities were directed by our President, Betty Olmsteadg Vice-President, john Si- meoneg Secretary and Treasurer, VValter Dufel. Mr. Thomas Tuits was our advisor. This was the year we purchased our class rings. We entered our junior year with the same number of students as when we were Sophomores. We chose as our officers: President, Margaret Ann Ruck, Vice-President, Walter Dufelg Secretary, Gladys Coddington: Treas- urer, Betty Krahmer. Our advisor was Miss Dorothy Miller. We selected as our motto Excelsior, and our class colors were to be American Beauty Red and White. The highlight of our junior year was a very successful Min- strel Show, from which we realized 3150. In May we held our junior Prom. Our junior activities helped our finances considerably and left us with a brighter outlook for our Senior year. September, 1945, was the beginning of our last year at Fultonville High School. Little did we know what this Senior year was to hold for us. The first week of school we elected the following officers to guide us through this busy year: President, Ernest Ninnemang Vice-President. Marion Egelstong Secretary, Gladys Coddington, Treasurer, Norma Post. Miss Dorothy Mil- ler was again chosen our advisor. VVe immediately started making plans for ways in which we could make money to have a yearbook. As a result. we sold stationery, had a raffle, held card parties and dances. Spring came and also the Senior play. We chose a comedy, Don't Darken My Door. It was successfully presented under the direction of Mr. james McFeeley. As Graduation drew nearer, things became more and more rushed for us. There was the last-minute sending of invitations, class day, graduation rehearsals. and finally the Senior Prom. Our Senior year came too quickly to an end. and before we knew it we were to be numbered among the Alumni.
