L. + ... i i “As The Twig Is Bent, The Tree Inclines, So Let Knowledge Grow As The Stately Pines. DEDICATION To our school, to our parents, teachers, and the people of our commun- ity who make this school possible, we the class of 1954, do dedicate this yearbook. Without the help of these folks this school could never have been possible. All of this was brought about through the sacrifices made by the people of Fulton Township. It is not the building alone that makes our school great but also the faculty, advisors, and school board who have given unselfishly of their time and talents. Through their patience and willingness to help, they have given us an education that we shall never forget-not only in academic subjects, but in getting along with people, and preparing to take our place in this world. As we go out these doors of Fulton, what we have learned here will not be forgotten, and we shall have the memories of this, our school, forever. May we put to use these things we have been taught-making the world a better place in which to live-and by so doing show our appreciation. - The Class of 1954. ’ ' « ■ j KW -? v_% r ' -- nw T • -j A 2 • 1 '' + ,' r.v v:r “ m?v p . a W V .’• % . £ Jf 'V. --A • ■ .-,  + . fAvAV ' • ' - .

They were: Robert Bratton. William McElheney, Mary Schmitz, Beverly Willson, Alice Elton, and Rose Marie Wells. In the first grade our teacher was Miss Betty Lou Wagner, and in the second grade our teacher was Miss Marvel Moyer. During these two years we were taught the three basic fundamentals: Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. After two years we moved on into the third and fourth grade room. In the third grade our teacher was Mrs. Carl Rettstatt. During the year we added two pupils: they were Robert Cufr, from Swanton and Carolyn Johnston from Morenci, Michigan. In the fourth grade our teacher was Mrs. Lola Kesler. In the fifth and sixth grade Mrs. Pearl Tate was our teacher. In the fifth grade Alice Parker joined us from Pike. Through Mrs. Tate's patient guidance we were ready to enter Jr. High. In the 7th and 8th grade Mr. Shaver was our advisor. During the first few few days in the seventh grade we were confused by the general routine of changing classes, but thanks to Mr. Shaver's excellent teachings we were qualified to enter high school. Entering into the Freshman class, we elected Mrs. Craig for our advisor. Mary Schmitz was elected president of our class. We gave an assembly, She Also Serves'. We also presented it to the P.T.A. In our Sophomore year we elected Mrs. Shaver as our advisor and Robert Bratton as our president. Mike Pupos joined our class at the beginning of the year from Metamora. We gave our assembly The Little Red School House', to the student body and at a P.T.A. meeting. Our Junior year we elected Mr. Edwin Wagner for our class advisor and Beverly Willson President of the class. We order our class rings from Herff- Jones in September. We gave our Junior Class Play Nov. 6th. It was entitled Quit Your Kidding.' In May we honored the Seniors by giving them a ban- quet. We left with the Seniors on a trip to Washington May 24. Our Senior year we elected Miss Stoneczek our class advisor. Class Officers are: President- Beverly Willson, Vice-President- Robert Bratton, Secretary- Rose Marie Wells, Treasurer- Mary Schmitz, Student Cabinet Members - Alice Elton and Robert Cufr, News Reporter- Carolyn Johnston. Our Senior pictures were taken at Powell Studio. We presented our play A Ready Made Family' on November 20. After publishing the school paper for a year, we had the pleasure of turning the 'Echo' over to the Juniors. This did not mean that our journalistic duties came to an end. We now began work in earnest on the 'Fultonian', our yearbook. This year we have planned a trip to New York. We shall leave on May 30 and return home on June 5. Now that our sojourn within the hallowed walls of Fulton Centralized School has reached its dramatic end, we look backward with fond recollect- ions of many pleasant experiences and forward with determined optimism to use those tools that we have received to make this world a better place in which to live. •- Joyce and Carolyn Johnston Beverly Willson CLASS PROPHECY In the twenty years since 1954, many things have changed. Of course I have long since retired from teaching, but one never quite gets out of harness. The alumni needs an office boy to be on hand to collect news of all our F.H.S. graduates. Luckily for me, I m their boy . Right now I'm busy sending letters, telegrams, and radiograms, trying to make plans for the annual get-together. Carolyn Johnston started it all. She has her own wholesale-retail business in women's clothes. You know it—her slogan is, The best they're wearin' came from Carolyn. Of course in the business she travels a great deal. Occasionally she meets an alumnus or hears about one. When she does she gets names and addresses and gives or sends all the information to me. She's very enthusiastic about keeping in touch, so she sparked the whole idea of an alumni secretary for our school. I just happened to be lucky enough to be on hand. This is the big year for the class of '54, for it is the twentieth an- niversary of their graduation. Because of this, I have been in cor- respondence with some of them and have gone to see others. It's cer- tainly wonderful what they're doing. Bob Bratton is a 4-D comedian. 4-D is something like 3-D, only with goose-pimples. You remember how you used to dodge in the 3-D movies? 4-D does all that, and along with its sound track it has an odor track. Yes, I know, some of those 3-D pictures smelled, but this is more realistic. For instance, the scene is in Hawaii. Not only do you see the flowers, hear the water lapping on the beach, etc., but you smell the perfume of the flowers and the fragrance of the pineapple juice factory. Imagine a gooey one-crust pie coming at you and you smelling the lemon! It was Bob's idea and he took the lead in perfecting it, though he prefers acting before the camera to the production end. Bob Cufr has an interesting profession. He specialized in elec- tronics. Then he became interested in reading the thoughts of historic characters. People tried to do that thirty years ago. Bob has really done it. He has actually picked up some of Napoleon's thoughts when he was planning his Egyptian campaign. He's trying now to find out what happened in Napoleon's childhood to make him the restless conqueror he became. Bob has done some exceedingly enlightening research on George Washington. What puzzles me is how he can sort out Wash- ington's thought waves from those of some ordinary Virginia farmer, or from those of Jefferson, Patrick Henry, or Richard Henry Lee, for example. Some day I'll ask him to explain it to me. Alice Elton is a comedienne on the stage. She can make any scene excruciatingly funny just by doing some of the things so characteristic of her. She doesn't make faces like Martha Raye used to, or go through some of the falls and other antics so characteristic of Joan Davis. She relies on stage business more like the Marx Brothers, and the whimsical. She is exceedingly popular, as you know. Everyone plans to see her when in New York. You won't see her in many movies or television shows, for she prefers the stage where she can see and hear her audi- ence. Bill McElheney has quite a business now. He has started radioing steaks and other beef products. This idea had been suggested as early as twenty years ago when Bill was a senior. However, elaborate send- ing and receiving machinery, electronic equipment, and other things had to be perfected. It isn't fool-proof yet. The other evening our chil- dren and their families came home unexpectedly. Since steak is a favorite, I decided to have Bill radio me some steaks. Our set must have been a little off, for the first three steaks came out hamburger. I jiggled the set a little and the rest of the steaks came out sirloin as I had hoped. When the steaks come out right every time, Bill hopes to branch out into chicken, pork, and other meats. By rearranging atoms and molecules, he may be able to radio whole meals. Then we can be free from our freezers. Alice Parker became a model. The field has greatly increased, what with costumes for interplanetary travel, and the variety of clothing needed for different planets. Their atmospheres are so unlike each other that a model has a wide variety of styles and materials to display. Alice does it well, too. I would be willing to venture the guess that her picture is a familiar sight on all the planets these days. She has steadfastly refused to model bathing suits and the like. She is, how- ever, a favorite pin-up. This is because she has kept her youth amaz- ingly. Mike Pupos expanded his ability to draw and is now an architect. His structures, though functional, tend toward the Greek in design. He has a talent for fitting a building into its surroundings as well as Frank Lloyd Wright used to do. Mike designed the spaceports on Southwest Jupiter and Middle Area Venus, as well as those in Florida and Califor- nia, to name a few. He also designed the beautiful new annex to the Toledo Museum of Art. Mary Schmitz has worked at various related jobs. Each has proven to be an advancement over the last. She started as receptionist for the director of the Toledo Airport. Before she even realized what was hap- pening, she became a combination hostess and traffic manager for the Venus branch of Inter-Space Lines. She travels a great deal and does a vast amount of public relations work as well. I always knew she'd go far, but I never dreamed it would be as far as outer space. Rose Marie Wells is an expert with children. She has done more to make wholesome homes for children than perhaps any other one per- son. She is a consultant on home and family matters, putting special emphasis on what is best for each child. Her slogan is no child an orphan . By her tact, untiring energy, and perseverance, she has prac- tically made this come true in Toledo and vicinity. People come from all over the world to consult with her and to study her methods. Beverly Willson has turned her scientific ability to experiments with sound and color. She perfected a sound-color organ, which not only gives out music, but emits color also, color much like that of the rainbow. Now she is perfecting it so that by playing it, a musician may paint pictures at the same time. Already she has painted a simple land- scape with it. Much remains to be done, however, and I am looking forward to seeing what she can do in a few more years. Now that you know about our class of 1954, I must get back to radioing those letters, or the executive group won't get the replies in time to complete the plans for this year's meeting. I'm certainly thank- ful that we have such a complete file on our alumni. Remember how it was in 1954? Mrs. W. H. Shaver SENIOR CLASS POEM In the vehicle of education our seniors have reached their destination. For the year of 1954 is their year of graduation. Long years of grade school and high school done, We pause for a word about each one. The first a pretty, dark-haired lass, Is the able president of the class. Her talents are many as well we know, Lessons well done or a soprano solo. At whatever sporting event you be. Basketball, baseball, you'll find Bob C. His favorite food of course is dates, Especially when they're with Laura H. A happy, cheerful girl, Mary, Can be often seen with Jerry. At shorthand and typing she's a whiz, And at cutting charming hairdos, she's the best there is. Bill's always ready for a prank. He's tall and slim, lean and lank. He and his car are one of our main features, He also thinks girls are fascinatin' creatures. A smiling, friendly girl, is she, We mean of course Alice P. A pretty blonde, small though mighty, Calm and sure, she's never flighty. This boy has talents many fold. Artist, he'll be before he's too old. Mike's always a comedian, sometimes a clown. Helps keep our chins up, our smile from turning down. Rosie's a tall and stately girl, Poised and courteous, locks with a curl. Always a pleasant word or friendly smile, Makes our school days more worthwhile. Alice E. is the Annual editor, Has many talents with which we can credit her. Friendly and pleasant, and personality, too. Sweet and kind and lots of help to you. The next in line, the last (but not least) of the boys. Is one who perhaps makes the least noise. Bob B.'s the popular Student Cabinet president, When something's up, sports or work, he's never hesitant. Carolyn's smile is always cheery, Helps keep our school day from being dreary. When grade cards come out she gets lots of A's, Which goes to prove that studying pays. There it is, my rhyme is done, And now is the time to tell everyone, Now I won't get sentimental or any of that truck. But I do want to wish them all—Good Luck!

Thirty-nine energetic boys and girls entered that first day, twenty-one fifth graders and eighteen sixth graders. We were sorry that Julia Ripley returned to Texas, Joe Barentine and Mary Porter to Amity, Arkansas, Beverly Coon moved to East Swanton, Robert Kear moved to Wharton, Ohio, and Laura May Parker moved to Wauseon. Many outside activities have kept us very busy besides our regular school work. We helped sell subscriptions to the Echo , Magazines, and The Wauseon Republican , (We had two star salesmen: James Saeger sold over $100 worth and Jerry Enyart sold over $90. Our room sold the most.) secured memberships to P.T.A., packed Christmas boxes for children overseas, joined the Junior Red Cross, contributed to the March of Dimes, and sold seeds. We have enjoyed the chapels and assembly programs, even ours which we presented in January, which consisted of music by our band members, music selections by Larry Roberts, Rachel McQuillin, and Rich- ard Watkins, and playlets teaching thrift, citizenship, and health. We also enjoyed our parts in the Community Christmas program, and Band Concert. (We have three senior band members, three in the junior band, and ten in beginners band.) Parties have added pleasure to our school year at Halloween, Christmas, Valentine, Easter, birthdays, farewells, and the last day. Filmstrips and movies have increased interest and comprehension in our studies. Two girls were unfortunate enough to break their arms. Linda Witt broke hers in an automobile accident while Robert Skadeland ran into the gym wall. Jerry Hoffman also broke a tooth. Having enjoyed the school year and having been so very busy, the year has passed very quickly! We hope each of you will have a pleasant vacation and will be ready for another year next fall. 3rd 8c 4th HISTORY The third and fourth grades began the year of 1953-1954 with thirty-eight pupils. There were twenty in the fourth grade (ten girls and ten boys). There were eighteen in the third grade (ten girls and eight boys). During the first six weeks, two new girls entered the third grade, but before the first six weeks period had ended they, along with two from the fourth grade, had withdrawn to go back to their homes in the south. Jimmie Butcher, who was one of the four who left at the end of the third week of school, traveled for the next six weeks, with his par- ents, in thirteen different states, then re-enterd again on the tenth week. That same week we also gained another new pupil for the fourth grade, Robert Smith, from Lyons, Ohio. We were very sorry to see David Slagle leave us, just before Thanksgiving Vacation. He and his parents moved back to Kentucky. Just before Christmas the third grade lost one of its pupils—Terry Merillat went to Florida for the winter with his parents. We gave our assembly program this year on December 2, and we also did our part in the community Christmas Program. We helped in several activities besides our regular school work. First we helped sell the Echo , our school paper, then later we helped in the P.T.A. membership drive. We also helped pack Christmas boxes for boys and girls overseas, joined the Junior Red Cross and contributed to the March of Dimes. We have had several birthday parties this year at school, which we have all enjoyed very much. Several other parties have added pleasure to our regular everyday school work. Those were at Hal- loween, Christmas and Valentine's Day. We have had a very busy year but have enjoyed every minute of it. We need our summer vacation, and hope we all have a wonderful one, and are ready for another full year next fall. This page sponsored by FARMERS AND MERCHANTS BANK CABLE AND WIRE PRODUCTS CO.

As they arrived, each girl was presented with a colonial fan and a corsage of white carnations. Each boy was presented with a colonial hat and a white carnation boutonnierre. The theme for the banquet was In Colonial Days . The tables were decorated with blue crepe paper through the center, sprinkled with silver dust. Tall blue candles and bouquets of white carnations and other assorted flowers made up the centerpieces. The individual favors were earthen Colonial figurines filled with assorted nut meats. The family style dinner was prepared by the Juniors' mothers. The menu consisted of: Fruit Cocktail Round Steak Mashed Potatoes Gravy Green Stringbeans Relish Plate Cranberried Jelly Parker House Rolls Butter Fruit Pie a la Mode Coffee After dinner, Beverly Willson was toastmistress for the program. Robert Cufr welcomed the Seniors and the teachers. Helen Huber gave the response. William McElheney gave a loose talk, after which Bev- erly Willson and Mary Schmitz sang. Mrs. Shaver gave a speech en- titled The Land of the Free . The Class Will was read by Ruth Snyder and a poem, Lights Out, was presented by Alice Elton. Beverly Willson, the Junior Class President, crowned the King and Queen—James Fetterman and Phylis Shipman. They were presented with gifts by her on behalf of the Junior Class. The coronation took place on a decorated throne which was at one end of the gymnasium. The gymnasium was elaborately decorated with blue and white crepe paper streamers. Each light was decorated to represent chande- liers and an imitation fireplace was at one side of the gymnasium. The entrance to the dance floor was a gate made up of pillars and an arch. The Senior Class motto was printed on the arch. This page sponsored by JIM'S RED AND WHITE RANDOLPH FURNITURE CO.
