FULTON HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK THE FULTON HIGH SCHOOL On the eve of our graduation, we can not help but experience sadness at the thought of leaving Fulton High School forever. This very ancient, incon- venient and inadequate building holds at this time a tender place in our hearts, and we are almost loath to say anything in depre- A NEW ciation of it. But calm reflection convinces us that tender HIGH SCHOOL sentiment must give way to stern reality and conditions pictured, from an unprejudiced standpoint, exactly as they are. That means FULTON HIGH SCHOOL MUST BE CONDEMNED. The building was constructed years ago when the population of Fulton was greatly below that of to-day. Since its erection, the population of the city has increased in bou11ds, and the incommodious school is called upon to accommodate a large number of students, greatly exceeding its original and unenlarged capacity. i The Principal has been at wits' end to arrange a place for all to study in during vacant bells and the Assembly Room, on days of chapel, cannot hold all those who attend. Many are obliged to stand in the rear and on the sides of the room, uncomfortable and crowded and what is more: THESE CROWDED CONDITIONS ARE STEADILY GROWING' WORSE. When the Physical Training Law was passed by the State, we were obliged to carry on these exercises in crowded halls, between rows of desks, and under such circumstances no efficiency was retained. At the present time owing to the inadequate gymnasiumffll, the Physical Training Instructor can not hope to conduct these exercises as the State prescribes. In view of this fact are we not guilty of a violation of a State law? Affairs are surely at a critical point and it fills us with dread to think that the students who follow us will be subjected to these unfavorable conditions for an indefinite period. Such an inadequate High School is a blot upon the good standing and reputation of any city and we hope that when the war is over, and the people are again engaged in the pursuits of peace, that the citi- zens of Fulton will rise and rush to the polls, east a unanimous vote in favor of a new High School, so as to obliterate this disgraceful blot on our history. By so doing they will have done their part for the promotion of education and civic advancement.
