n emoriam BOB DICKERSON Became janitor of Fulton High School, 1917 . . . Died june 24, 1945 Fulton High, the faculty, and the students who knew him will always have a warm place in their hearts for Bob. Bob was Fulton's ianitor, and was not just an ordinary person, but a part of Fulton itself. He had been at Fulton for over twenty-seven years, when during the summer, he was called to go Home. ' Bob's humor and his chuckle were prized by Fulton's students. It was Bob whom the returning students always wanted to see Hrst. Bob had unusual ability and was really an executive in dealing with his helpers and with the many tasks that fell upon him. He never failed to answer a call for assistance and many times he spent the night alone in the building in order to keep it warm for us in sub-freezing weather. Bob was always kind and had a friendly word for everyone. In every way he could, he was always striving to make Fulton a better school and Fulton High and all she stands for will always be grateful to him. One of the principals under whom Bob served, said at his funeral, No student nor teacher of Fulton High School has made a greater contribution to Fulton than has Bob. Words are really inadequate to express our feelings over the loss of such a friend. We merely lift our heads and say, We miss you, Bob. 8

we Kafdbna A harbinger of spring is he, This crested bird that sings with glee. He sits on a limb so high above And sings to his mate a song of love. Twittering, they work to build their nest, Each for the other doing his best. With twigs and straw and many a feather, Side by side they work together. As they dream of their young, little know they the joy Their song will inspire in each girl and boy Who copy their virtues with great expectation Of making a greater and better nation. As Fulton,s symbol, this bird is the head Of each activity . . . with its coat of red: The football team and paper the same, Each sharing renown from the cardinafs name. Working at Fulton year by year, Seeking those virtues she holds so dear, Dreaming like the bird what the future may bring, We work together in everything. Our students at Fulton hear the call Of the cardinal, challenging one and all. When we see him floating against the sky, We breathe a prayer for Fulton High. MIMI 'TIMMEBINIAN 9
