B. FREY, Pettisville ------------CLASS HISTORY--------------------------------------- The day we had so long been looking forward to had finally arrived. Our first day of school. On September 8, 1943, ten of us met for the first time at Fulton Centralized School. When Miss Marvel Moyer, our able teacher, arrived, she met ten eager pupils ready for their first big step toward the field of education. Those ten pupils were: Penny Burkey, Arlene Cook, Joann Deck, Hal Fettecman, Laura Huber, Bonnie Poorman, Bob Schwyn, Betty Snyder, Virginia Vasko, and Dwight Watkins. Virginia left us in the second semester of our first year. Miss Moyer continued teaching us reading, writing, and arithmetic in the second grade. We were now prepared for our 3rd and 4th grade years, which were taught by Mrs. Lola Kesler. By this time we were not so timid and were becoming more mischievous and were a little harder to discipline. But aside from this, Mrs. Kesler has taught us many things which have proved to be of much value in our later years. Dolores Rashley from Adrian, Michigan joined us in the fourth grade. Now we were ready to be promoted to the top floor in the 5th and 6th grades. Here we met Mrs. Tate, who prepared us for Junior High. Vir- ginia Vasko rejoined us in the 5th grade. Yes, you guessed it, at last we were in Junior High. Now we were able to change classrooms, elect class officers, and have class parties, all of which made us feel more grown up. Through all this, we had a very capable advisor, Mr. Shaver, who taught us sternly (which we deserved) but kindly and patiently how to become students qualified to enter High School. Bob Carter from Swanton, joined us in the 8th grade. All of us have enjoyed our eight years in elementary school. Though it was hard for our parents to believe, we were growing up and ready to enter high school. As Freshmen, we were thrilled in being able to choose our own subjects—even though three of them were required. We elected Mrs. Craig as our advisor. Monte Minor from Bedford, and Tom Pupos from Metamora, joined us in our Freshmen year. In our Sophomore year, Mrs. Shaver was our advisor. Dwight Watkins was elected as president and Monte Minor as vice president. We gave two plays for an assembly, which were also presented at the P.T.A. To make money, we had bake sales and sold plaques. Don Burton, from Auburn, Illinois, joined us in this year. Our Junior year was a busy one. We ordered and received our class rings from the Herff-Jones Co. We gave our play “Too Many Dates,” on April 23. To earn money, we worked at Baden’s Motel. In May, we were hosts and hostesses at the Junior-Senior Banquet. Mr. Haver was elected as class advisor and Monte Minor served as president with Dwight Watkins as vice president. To end the Junior year, we took a class trip to Wash- ington, D.C., on May 30. At last! We are Seniors. Mr. Lash and Mr. Burris are our advisors. Hal Fetterman was elected president and Laura Huber as vice president. We had our pictures taken at Powell Studio. Our class play, “Be Happy? Go Wacky!” was given on November 6. We continued working at Balden’s Motel to earn money. We have ordered our invitations, name cards, caps and gowns. We compiled the annual and turned the “Echo” over to the Juniors. We shall leave on a six day class trip to New York on May 29. Our school days are now over, and as we go our different ways we hope we can use our education to the best of our ability to make this a better world in which to live. —Dolores Rashley This page sponsored by: METAMORA ELEVATOR LUGBIL’S-ARCHBOLD THE STORK CLUB This page sponsored by: KOLB FEED STORE WAYNE LAMMON Wauseon DIELMANS EBERLY MILL AND SUPPLY CLASS POEM By Mrs. W. H. Shaver who has known the class members for more than nine years. Now comes graduation, as it does here each May, And you pass in review before my mind’s eye. Ere you depart from old Fulton, some to go far away, I see you in second grade and on through junior high. You were fun in home-room, music, math, history. I hope you enjoyed some of those things with me. Penelope has all that occasion demands In music, or science, or history or math; In the matter of applying her brains or her hands Anyone could well follow along in her path. “Bob Carter is nice,” I’ve heard some girls say, But he’s no sissy I’m sure you are bound to agree. It’s been good to watch him grow up day by day. His good humor, his good singing appeal to me. It’s a pleasure to have such a student as Don Who is capable, likeable, can make study pay. He can join a class late and quickly “catch on”; I hope that he’ll work for true greatness some day. Arlene, the fun-loving, a sociable lass, Whose friendly activity makes projects succeed, In music, church, club programs she’s “class”— She’ll run errands or stay put to supply each need. Though Bob came to us only one short year ago He fits in right well with the group that you are. He’s wonderful help in all projects we know; He’s willing, dependable, well over par. Then there’s lovely Joann, who’s a pleasure to see With her beautiful hair, her nice eyes, and all. She has more than looks, I’m sure you’ll agree; She has humor and sense and “much on the ball.” Hal has become a “big wheel” around here; He handles his jobs in a business-like way. No doubt he has learned after most of a year. He has to be good to get results that pay. Laura, a dream girl—much more than a dream— A dependable, hard-working, lovable one, A singer, pianist, trumpet player supreme; Keeps running in high gear until the job’s done. There’s Monte, good-humored, friendly and kind— (His teasing’s well-meant, the kind we can take) He meets his bad luck with grit rare to find. His neatness and character friends for him make. Quiet Bonnie, unpretentious, sincere, Who won’t be roped into our nervous, mad whirl. Whose good looks increase with each passing year, Is liked by the younger ones, a sensible girl. We’d be lost without Tom, with his talent and fun, His pantomimes, caricatures, acting and such. Even his moodiness helps things to run Out of the humdrum. This really means much. Dolores, the quiet, the hard-working, not lazy, Has plenty of humor and good sense as well. If everyone offered as much as does she Our world would be safe, as many can tell. Bob Schwyn says what he means with his hands In shop projects or out on the basketball floor. A good sport, our respect he commands— He plays for the team, not just his own score. Sweet Betty, the last of her clan in our school, With good sense, ability, poise and ambition. The way she meets problems shows that she’s no fool; She’ll be a success, what e’er her position. Cute as a button and sharp as a tack Virginia’s appealing and capable too In music and literature she displays a knack That leaves not one doubt about what she can do. Dwight, practical-joker, yet earnest, sincere, On occasion can show innate depth and good sense. For his chance for success we need have no fear He has what it takes with no sham or pretense. Another who came with her sisters-no-brothers— Carol, bright, witty, hard-working, yet carefree; She puts herself out to do nice things for others We’re proud to have her, I’m sure you’ll agree. Many of you will be leaders, some less, others more. Here’s a hint that I offer for what it is worth; Morale comes from the top, filters down to the floor; Be your best to lead others to good on this earth. You boys are all handsome, you girls are all fair, As always you will be to others who care. God bless you and lead you, wherever you go; May you keep right on learning, for there’s so much to know. = == = = SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Extra! Read all about it! Old village uncovered! Thus read the head- lines of the newspapers in the year 3000. The archeologists had been at work for several years, and at last they had succeeded in uncovering what had once been the town of Ai, buried under tons of earth during a violent wind and sand storm. The men found old newspapers and these were some of the things which they read: A millionaire by the name of Tom Pupos had contributed a million dol- lars to scientific research. A housewife, the former Arlene Cook, who had at one time worked in a time saving research office, had worked out a new time saving plan for all housewives. Dolores Rashley, a social worker, was doing wonders in eliminating juvenile delinquency. Turning to the society page, they saw that socialite Joann Deck, wife of millionaire Don Burton, who had made his millions by investing and manufacturing musical yo-yo’s that played light opera tunes, was giving a charity ball. Laura Huber, a concert pianist, who had just returned from a tour of Europe, was giving a concert at Carnegie Hall. Millionaire deep sea fisherman, Monte Minor, who had made his millions by owning and operating a string of bait shops, was starting a round-the-world-tour. Quadtrillionaire Bob Stoup, wealthy ditch digger, had just bought con- trolling stock in a large oil concern. Home economist, Penny Burkey, had been doing a great deal through the medium of television to lessen the work and drudgery of housewives. The dramatic world had just acclaimed a new actress by the name of Virginia Vasko. Miss Vasko had directed several hit plays before going into acting herself. New York was raving about a new Fine Arts Shop which had opened under the management of world traveler, Bonnie Poorman. Miss Poor- man had gathered many samples of art treasures in her travels. Bob Schwyn had established a huge research farm where new trends in agriculture were being tried and improved upon. Bob Carter was teaching English Literature in an Eastern college. His method of presenting his material kept his classes enthralled. As a side line he also coaches the track team. Hal Fetterman had just invented an invisible, suspended air field for inter-solar planes. Thus the beauty of the sky would not be marred. Betty Snyder was advancing in the field of child psychology. Betty’s theory was “do not spare the rod.” Children’s problems became minor under her plan. Carol Whitten was acquiring great success in her lecture tour on interior decorating. Carol had received a start in her field by decorating her own home. —Miss Stoneczek This page sponsored by: FALOR AND SHARPE SQUARE DEAL BODY SHOP DELTA FEED CO.

HATCHERY Delta JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The annual Junior-Senior Banquet was held on Saturday, May 15, 1954, in the Fulton School Gymnasium. Upon arrival, each girl was given a corsage of red carnations and each boy a red carnation boutonnierre. The theme for the Banquet was “In a Flower Garden.” The gym was decorated as a rock garden with paths leading around through the garden. In the center was a bird bath and around it was waxed for dancing space. This space was round and resembled a pond. In the garden, there were many different flowers and trellises decorated with lilacs. The tables were decorated with flowers and candles. The ceiling had stars hanging down from a blue sky, in which to complete the setting. The dinner was prepared and served by the Juniors’ Mothers. The menu consisted of: Tomato Juice Swiss Steak Peas and Carrots Mashed Potatoes and Gravy Cole Slaw Butter and Rolls Ice Cream Cherry Pie Coffee After the dinner, Monte Minor was toastmaster for the program. Penelope Burkey welcomed the Seniors and teachers. Beverly Willson gave the response. Dolores Rashley than gave a talk on the Blossoms, after which Laura Huber played a piano solo. Mr. Lash gave a speech entitled “The Point of no Return.” The class will was read by Carolyn Johnson and the Senior class poem was read by Mary Schmitz. Beverly Willson sang a solo and then Alice Elton talked on “The Buds.” Monte Minor, the Junior Class President, crowned the King and Queen —Bob Bratton and Alice Elton. They were presented with gifts by him on behalf of the Junior Class. The coronation took place on a throne under an arch which was decorated with flowers. Mrs. Shaver then gave the Benediction. A dance was held after the program. This page sponsored by: DUMBAR DRILLING AND SUPPLY CO.
