In 1938 four of our eleven members shyly answered here' as Miss Hope Varner called the roll. They were: Murle Weaver, Fred Wyckoff, Merlen Martin, and Irving Beroske. In the second grade, Jean Bryan entered our class from Lyons, with Miss Rych- ner as our faithful leader. Then as we entered our third year we found ourselves in entirely new surround- ings. with Miss Luke as our director in the third and fourth year. Vi e also welcomed two new pupils. Edna Wood from Glenwood grade school in Toledo and Joyce Rar- din from Metamora. Having finished the fourth grade, we wonderingly advanced to the upper hall where Mrs. Pearl Tate helped us with strange new subjects in our fifth and sixth grades. Joyce Rardin left us in the second semester of our sixth grade to attend Glenwood grade school in Toledo. Also during our sixth year our class took part in the well remembered operetta. “Tom Sawyer”. As we proudly entered Junior High, Joyce Rardin rejoined us. We were thrill- ed with our new privilege of electing officers and chose as our president. Roger Thomas, with Miss Mertha Shivley as our able advisor. During the year we enjoyed several parties, and began taking interest in athletics with several of our hoys playing on the Junior High basketball squad. On initiation night, we, as the greenhorns of Fulton high school, sponsored a Sadie Hawkins Dance and presented a skit from Dogpatch for the enjoyment of our upper classmen. With Mrs. Shaver as our new advisor, we elected Jean Bryan as our president Murle Weaver as vice president and Joyce Rardin as secretary and treasurer. Edna W ood was chosen as one of the cheerleaders for the year. In our sophomore year, we were happy to receive two new members, Jane Park- er, w ho formerly attended W auseon high school, and Boh Dowling, who attended St. Mary’s school at Assumption. During the year. Edna Wood moved to Toledo, where she attended Scott high school. As officers we elected our new member. Boh Dowling, as president and Joyce Rardin as vice president, with Jane Parker serving as secretary and treasurer. W?e chose Mrs. Shaver as our faithful advisor. The first meeting of the junior class was brought to order by Boh Dowling, our previous president, on Sept. 20. 1948. W e elected Mr. Edward Hathaway as class advisor; Jane Parker, president: Jean Bryan, vice president; and Murle Weaver, sec- retary and treasurer. Jane Parker was chosen one of the cheerleaders. We chose our rings from the Herff Jones Co.; presented a three act comedy', “Toby Helps Out”, on April 29: and were hosts to the annual Junior-Senior Banquet on May 1. 1949. Now we are seniors. Boh Dowling was again chosen as president and Jane Park- er our vice president with Murle W eaver as secretary and treasurer. We welcomed Clarence Pike to our senior year. He previously attended W’auseoh high school. On November 2 we went to Toledo to have our pictures taken at Secor Hotel by the Powell Studio from Detroit. W e enjoyed the W SPD studio and their television rooms. Edna W ood rejoined us from Scott high school, where she spent part of her sophomore and junior years. Besides publishing our annual, there were name cards, invitations, and caps and gowns to order. W’e are thankful to Mr. McLemore who guided us wisely through our senior year. 18 Senior Class Will...

To all our books we say “Good-Bye.” We have reached one destination And that is known as graduation. With this goal achieved We feel somewhat relieved. The memories will he with us And live on as thus: Robert Dow ling, a spry lad. The most mischievous the class had— He was the shortest of us all But still aimtd to grow tall. Jean Bryan, captain of the team With bright eyes always agleam. Nearly six feet tall. I’m guessin’— And never shirking a single lesson. Merlen Martin, composed of muscle. Busy keeping everyone in a hustle. Never at a loss for something to say, Sometimes finding, wise-cracks don’t pay! Irving Beroske, quiet hut sly, W ouldn’t let a chance go by. Let somebody turn round about He then had some scheme, no doubt. Lloyd Poorman, ready to flee. Never knew just where he’d be. First here and then there, Never had a moment to spare. Fred Wyckoff, willing to please. Was usually busy as the bees. At all times he had a smile, Jolly and happy all the while. Clarence Pike, the youngest one. W as right ready to sponsor some fun. Pranks and tricks were on his mind. For him, school was no grind. Edna Wood, a musical lass, Was the songbird of our class. With her music she would roam. Around the country, then back home. Joyce Rardin, the friendliest, Liked the Florida climate best. She smiled and spoke to everyone. Hoping to cheer them one by one. Murle W eaver, a lover of sports. Participated in games of all sorts. Basketball, softball, and ping pong— She held the championship long. Jane Parker, with musical talent. Enters the field very gallant— Clarinet, piano, and teaching guitar Extend her musical knowledge quite far. This the Senior Class of 1950 Seemed to me to be very nifty.

There were twenty members in the fifth grade, and ten in the sixth grade. Of these. Janice Hallett has moved near Toledo, Donald Dennis and Raymond Jones into Ioledo. Howard Hite and Ernest Aguilar into the Swanton district, and Kenneth Dunning returned to Michigan. Our attendance was very good all fall and during the winter only a few days’ absence was caused by illness for a few pupils. We began our work very hopefully and joyfully. Vi e have tried to be good citizens of the community and good world neighbors. We aided the health programs by giving bountifully to the March of Dimes. Red Cross Seals, and packing Junior Red Cross boxes for children of European countries. We assisted in the community Christmas program. We have been helping sell garden seeds to raise money to assist in the raising money for playground apparatus fund. One of our fifth grade girls, Ann Fauble, spent the month of January in Florida. She sent us cards, letters, and gave a very interesting talk on her trip and points of interest. She attended Pine Crest School at Ft. Lauderdale while there. We are looking forward to being promoted on to higher grades in the future years and maybe someday we will get to be seniors. 39 First How: Betty Sehwyn, Susan Wood, Anne Owens, Nancy Jones, Joyce Fry- barger, Sharon Strayer.

DorthaBelle and Evelyn Hallett moved to Toledo. We lost one boy. Ambrose Todd, who moved to Delta, but later in the year we gained another boy. Gene Wood from Toledo. Besides our regular school work we have done many extra things to aid in our civic duties. First, we sold “Echo” subscriptions. Then there was the selling of mag- azines to help raise money for new playground equipment. We also did our bit by contributing to the “Junior Red Cross” and the “March of Dimes” drives. We packed Christmas boxes to send to the school children overseas. Some of the children sold assorted cards, for which they received as a reward either a Bible or a Testament. During the first weeks of November w:e worked hard to get our assembly ready which we gave on November 11. We have also had some good times this year. In October we had our Halloween party, at which time some of the boys and girls enjoyed dressing in some queer look- ing costumes. We also had refreshments. In December we had our Christmas party, with a tree and exchange of gifts. In February we had a Valentine party, with exchange of Valentines, and we all enjoyed cookies and ice cream. At Easter time we enjoyed decorating eggs and having an egg hunt. We have had a very busy year with happy times of study, work and play.

At the present time we have twenty-one in the first grade and fourteen in the second, making a total o f thirty-five. We have sung “Happy Birthday” to almost everyone in our room this year. The last week of school we sing for those who have birthdays in the summer. We had a Halloween party (our mothers came to that), and parties for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter and the last day of school, took part in the community Christmas program, had our assembly program in March, and entertained our mothers and friends with a program on the last day of school. We have enjoyed the stories in our new supplementary hooks this year. Mrs. Parker helped us in the cafeteria this year. We want to thank her for the help she gave us. Our attendance was good this year except for the time when we had the three- dav measles. Almost everyone in the room got them. Two of us had tonsils out this year. too. We have had a very happy year and hope that next fall all our classmates will he hack to school. We wish you all a very happy vacation. 43 44 ACTIVITIES 45 STUDENT CABINET...
