To the Faculty, we leave all of our books and the rest of the studious students. To the Janitor, we leave our nice clean home room, also to the future seniors. (Keep it that way, kids.) To the Bus Drivers, we leave our empty seats in the bus, hoping there will be enough little ones to fill them. To the Juniors, we leave our ability to make money, and break all previous rec- ords on class plays, advertisements, annual subscriptions, selling cards, and publish- ing the Echo. To the Sophomores, we leave the typewriters, hoping that they will keep the typ- ing room clean. To the Freshmen, may your future school years be as pleasant as ours, and may your class cooperate as ours did. Isabelle Hite leaves her silence to Zuma Roberts, hoping it will eliminate a lot of noise in the school room. Luella Beroske wills her ability to run the mimeograph to Ruby Moore, hoping she doesn’t get ink all over herself. Kenneth Borck and Earl Bryan give their ability to play basketball to Gerald Snyder. Rosemarie Cufr leaves her ability to always be busy to Harold Martin, giving him a chance to make up the work he failed to do this year. John Mizer wills his baritone to Betty Shipman’s soprano, hoping she’ll strike a happy medium. Verna Bratton wills her sense of humor to Marian Dowling, although she has plenty of it now. Don Shipman wills his American Problems Workbook to Dorothy Snyder, so she can always answer correctly in class. Leta Herrick leaves her left-over pep from cheerleading to Janice Habel.

Senior Class History . . . One morning early in September 193( , seventeen children with that well-scrubbed look and wonder in their eyes entered Fulton school. Among them were nine of the present Seniors, who. when Miss Lucille Grimm called the roll, answered to the fol- lowing names: Kenneth Borck, Don Shipman. Verna Bratton, Leta Herrick. Sue Bab- cock. Luella Beroske. Isabelle Hite, and John Mizer. The slide and swings on the play ground attracted each one at recess and they began to learn what school was all about as Miss Grimm taught them sounds and numbers: also reading, spelling, and beginner’s arithmetic as she continued with them throughout the second grade. Entering the third grade, Earl Bryan from Lyons, joined the class with Miss Thelma Luke teaching. Multiplication, division, geography, and grammar were added to their list of studies, as Miss Luke, who joined them at baseball and flower hunting trips carefully guided them through the fourth grade also. As their knowledge increased and they grew in stature, they were promoted to the upper floor, opening the fifth grade with Miss Marjorie Hutchinson teaching. Betty Newhouse, formerly of Liberty Center, now answered roll call with the start of the sixth grade and Miss Hutchinson had become Mrs. Andrew Weber. These youngsters now felt really grown up as they became Junior High students and could elect class officers. W ith Mr. James Rogers as their advisor, they chose Luella Beroske as president. Rosemarie Cufr, who had previously attended Swanton Township School, joined them as they entered the eighth grade. Mr. Rogers continuing as their advisor, treated them to a movie and coasting party during the winter. Earl Bryan was president. VI ith initiation over (when the girls had to wear Dad’s long underwear and their hair in braids and the boys in bib overalls backwards, with each carrying his books in burlap sacks) they felt that they were full-fledged members of the high school. These Freshmen worked as a class selecting Mr. Paul MeLemore as their advisor and Isabelle Hite, president. During this year the twelve girls cheered the seven boys on to victory in the inter-class tournament. Kenneth Borek was the first of the boys to become a member of the varsity team when Leta Herrick became a Junior High cheer- leader. Coming from Antwerp, Frank Clinton entered as their Sophomore term began. One of the highlights of the year was a hay ride to Swanton park for a weiner roast. Earl proved to be a very capable president. At this time the class was sorry to bid goodbye to two members who had come with them all the way from the first grade. Jacqueline Thomas moved to Chesterfield, and Viola Wise to Swanton. At the opening of the Junior year, John Dowling, a neighborhood boy who had been attending school at Assumption, was welcomed in their midst. With Sue Babcock as president, this year was the most experimental. The faculty and seniors were hon- ored at a banquet held in Swanton’s Masonic Temple; also their comedy play. '‘Going On Seventeen”, was given April 18. in which each member of the class took part. Its success was due to the talent Mrs. Mack so willingly contributed. The boys won the inter-class tournament again. At last they had reached their Senior year and chose John Mizer president. On November 6 they presented A Certain Young Miss”, under the direction of Mr. Gens, which broke all previous records for attendance and profit. Again each member had a share in the cast. A trip to Toledo for Senior pictures taken at the Commodore Perry Hotel by the Joe ines Co. included a visit to the Toledo Blade and WSPD at the Broadcasting Building. Merchants of the neighboring towns contributed freely when the class called on them January 14 for advertising in the year book. The class was glad to have Mr. McLemore’s generous help and guidance through- out the four years of high school. He was more than a teacher. He was a real pal.
