Class History, Cont'd. k , The fall of 'L7 came all too quickly and the lb members who had the courage to go on returned for their senior year. We were saddened by the leaving of Verla Leonard but we gained Christina Fish to round out our original lb. Ne elected these officers: President, Jaddua Bennett, Vice-President, Shirley Morang Secretary, Evelyn Stowittsg Treasurer, Glenn Gillg Student Council, Esther Perry and James Brookman. We unanimously chose Mr. Crane as our advisor. He put his whole heart into our activities. We knew how much we needed money for our New York trip so we immediately began selling pencils, Christmas cards, magazines, gum and candy, T shirts, hats and class pins. In October we had our graduation pictures taken. We went to see the Freedom Train when it visited Schenectady, November 1. We held a food sale and a turkey raffle. We also began work on our yearbook early so that we could have it finished in the spring. In December we held a Christmas dance at the close of school. After an enjoyable two weeks vacation, we returned to school with a lot of work ahead of us. A Senior-Junior Minstrel was in rehearsal for presentation on St. Patrick's Day. We had chosen WLet's Get Marriedn as our Senior Play and all members of the class planned to participate in it. It was planned for May. Our New York trip was planned for Easter recess and our stay for the Hotel New Yorker. Mr. and Mrs. Crane were going to accompany us. Our history draws to a close as we look for- ward to our Baccalaureate, Class Day, Graduation and the Senior Ball after which we will bid farewell to our Alma Mater and her fond memories, Fultonville High. 13

gfidf We, the class of '48, now pause to look back over the four happy yeari we have had at FQ H. S. which we will remember and cherish. In the fall of '44, as 25 bewildered Freshman, we entered Fultonville High School. We elected as our officers: President, James Winneg Vice-President, Jaddua Bennettg Secretary, Marguerite Gilleng Treasurer, Shirley Morang Student Council, Diane Ward and Evelyn Stowitts. A Halloween Party was enjoyed at the home of Mrs. Christiana, our advisor. In midwinter we had a sleighride. Our activities were limited, but we had a magazine drive, held tea dances and sponsored an Amatuer Show. We concluded our first year with a picnic at Caroga Lake, When we returned in the fall of '45, we found we had lost Richard Bell, James Fonda, Rose Colasant1,Helen Samarija, Kathrlne Samarija and Marguerite Gillen. This was only the beginning for our class was to lose many more members. To make up for our loss we gained Heman Howlett, Wreatha Burke, Esther Perry and Donald Peeler. We chose as our leaders that year: President, Donald Peelerg Vice-President, James Winneg Secretary, Shirley Morang Treasurer, Jaddua Bennett, Student Council, Diane Ward and Jean Hogan. This year we sponsored a very successful musical comedy, 'The Girls' Take Over', on Vh1entine's Day written by Miss Garvey, our advisor, and Miss Cannon. We also sponsored an April Showers Dance. During the year we lost Evelyn Talmadge and Jean Hogan which decreased our class to 19 members. We ended our successful Sophomore year with a class outing at Caroga Lake. When the fall of '46 rolled around we returned to school with great enthusiasm as Juniors. This year we lost Shirley Johnson, Diane Ward, Rhea Hand and Wreatha Burke. We gained Marguerite Gillen, William Bayes, Virginia Anderson and Alice Welsh. We elected as our guides that yearg President, Donald Peelerg Vice-President, Shirley Morang Secretary, Jaddua Bennett, Treasurer, Esther Perry, Student Council, Glenn Gill and Evelyn Stowitts. Under the capable direction of our advisor, Miss Bergen, we presented a very entertaining Minstrel Show in November which proved profitable, too. We were all excited when we ordered our class rings in the fall and more so when we received them in the winter. During the year we lost Marguerite Gillen Orpha Brooker, James Winne, Heman Howlett, Virginia Anderson and Alice Welsh. We held a food sale which added some money to our treasury. le started plans for the Junior Prom early. We worked hard on our 'Up in the Clouds decorat1ons which we were very proud of. The Prom proved to be a gala event. We all knew how much Miss Bergen had done to make this year such a success. We closed our Junior year by ushering the Seniors to the platform Graduation night, realizing we were the new Senior Class. We had 14 members left. 12
