Senior Class History The time was September 11, 1939, the place Fulton Centralized School, the oc- casion—the beginning of a long 12-year journey through the institution of knowledge, that ended in graduation for seven of the little first graders along with six class- mates who joined them through the years. As we started on our journey, we were very ably assisted by Miss Rychner who was so patient and understanding. The seven who have been 12-year classmates are Phyllis Burkey, Iris Poorman, Carol Huber, Joyce Borck, Tom Mizer, Bill Roberts, and Marvin Shipman. As we started our second step of the journey we were joined by Kathy Rardin from Metamora. and our new teacher was Miss Hufford. Next came a big step—we eight little scholars dubiously entered the room down the hall and answered roll call to Miss Stemen. Then along came the fourth lap of the journey and the future class of ’51 was happy to welcome a new member. Meredyth Watkins, from McClure. We were under the supervision of a new teacher, Miss Haas. The fifth year found the traveling quite a bit tougher—22 steps and a lot of new subjects, teachers and activities. During our fifth year we worked for four teachers: Mr. Sumption, Mrs. Teegarden, Mrs. fretterman and Mrs. Tate, who also guided us through our sixth year. In the sixth grade we were happy to welcome our new member from Pike, Luella Eaton. As we proudly entered Junior High, we were very happy and thrilled with our new activities. We were assigned to our very own lockers; our boys played on the Junior High basketball team; two of our girls, Phyllis and Carol, were elected Junior High cheerleaders; we elected class officers; we became accustomed to changing classes at the end of each period; we had lots of parties and lots of fun. For the sev- enth grade our advisor was Miss Shively, our president Phyllis Burkey. In the eighth, Mr. Clinton was our advisor and Kathy Rardin our president. Luella Eaton left us alter our seventh year. Next came the time that is unforgettable to everyone who ever attended high school. In order to get through high school, we had to become freshmen, and in or- der to become freshmen, we had to be initiated and respect our upper classmen. We fed them peanuts and candy all day, carried our books in milk pails, dressed crazy so they could laugh at us, and finally at night we showed them a good time with a party and a short play. During this year Mr. Gens was our advisor, Tom Mizer our president, Ilena Borck our vice president, and Kathy Rardin our secretary and treas- urer. Our vice president was our new classmate from Raab Corners, whom we wel- comed along with Harold Leitner from Metamora. After a seemingly short vacation, we freshmen returned to Fulton as sophomores to start a new year. At the start of this year we welcomed Miss Stoneczek as our new advisor. We also had a new boy, Bob Cole, whom we elected president, but he left us in December, leaving our vice president, Kathy Rardin, our acting president, with Carol Huber as secretary and treasurer. During this year we enjoyed many social events and many parties. We were proud of our boys’ basketball ability and our one varsity cheerleader, Carol Huber. Next came one of the two busiest years of our high school career. As we entered our junior year, we were the biggest class in high school. We acquired three new members: Dorothy Lumbrezer from Assumption, and Luella Eaton and Joann Mat- zinger, the last two being former members of the class. Carol Huber was class presi- dent, iris Poorman vice president, and Bill Roberts secretary-treasurer. We ordered our class rings from the Herff Jones Company on September 22 and received them November 1. On October 28 we presented “The Nutt Family” under the direction of Miss Stoneczek. We had several honors in our class this year with Iris Poorman be- ing elected Queen of the Harvest Festival, which was sponsored by the Boosters, and Joann Matzinger, Carol Huber and Phyllis Burkey being elected varsity cheerlead- ers. Also our boys were varsity lettermen. This was our year to take over the “Echo” and we had much fun putting ut what we hope was an interesting paper. We brought this very busy but wonderful year to a close with a very nice banquet for the seniors. Our theme was “Hitch Your Wagon to a Star.” Starting our senior year, we elected Harold Leitner class president, Tom Mizer vice president, and Marvin Shipman secretary-treasurer. We wound up our work on the “Echo” and turned it over to the juniors. We had our pictures taken at Powell Studios, sponsored two ice cream socials, and sold Christmas and everyday greeting cards. We published our '51 Fultonian and on April 13 presented our class play, Hetty Hits Her Stride”. Last, but not least, we have planned a trip to Washington. During our senior year, the last lap of the journey, we have worked hard and played hard together, we have agreed and disagreed, but no matter how we look at it we are reluctant to leave. This year brought many activities and many decisions. With each one we were forced to realize that our high school days were about over. After all, when a history is to be written, that only proves that all things are past, but we seniors are looking forward to a rich and full life. 15
