THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK-FULTON HIGH SCHOOL 15 I'-SGW' 25 Student rqanization -ZQra--- - Two years ago there was organized in Fulton High School a School Congress. Though it is a comparatively new ex eriment it has proved to be success- fulri With the assistance of Mr. Strough, a committee of students drew up a plan of student government which was then submitted to the school for approval. With the opening of school in the fall the members who are elected carry on an everlasting patriotism for the school. Each home room elects oflicers, president and secretary, who represents this room in the School Congress. These groups meet and prepare nominations for the school oliicers. As a result of the general election last fall these were elected: President, VVilliam Foster, Vice-Presi- dent, Harriet Crahan, Secretary, Mahlon Freeman. The Student Organization has man- aged successfully the financial plan of the Athletic Department ofthe school. Each week five cents is collected from every student for the support of the Athletic Department. In return, for their five cents, free tickets are issued every week of a game, to students whose dues are paid to date. Much credit is to be given this organization for its splendid achieve- ment of clearing its debts. The ellicient services of Mary Coleman, Geraldine Scott, Dorothy Bintz, Katherine Joseph, Marion Casey and Hazel Martin were of great help in keeping the reports of each room in the School Congress. Katherine Brackett was Secretary of Finance but was succeeded by Geraldine Scott, and Mary Coleman is Secretary of Athletics. Much credit is to be given to the secretary of these departments for their splendid work. Another achievement of the School Congress was the clarification of the rules for the award of school insignia and the adoption of the complete system of such awards. m9a- The School Oflicers and Members of Congress are as follows: President ............, William Foster Vice-President ........

I4 THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK-FULTON HIGH SCHOOL Sophomores President ......... Edward Mehegan Vice-President .......... John Kraus Secretary ............ Helen O'Grady Treasurer ............ Pauline Elliott For two years the class of 1929 has been participating in school affairs in commendable fashion. Members of the class have become loyal supporters of all worth-while activities both ath- letic and scholastic. Although the Sophomore organization has not been in action for a great length of time, it is progressing well. Both boys and girls have taken an unusual interest in basket ball. They were able to hold the opponents in good fashion although the class did not win the championship of either the boys or girls. Baseball is next in the line of athletics. This game has found loyal supporters in the Sophomore class. As usual the track meet was held for the classes. The Juniors were able to capture nearly all the honors. The efficiency of the Sophomore is shown by Erick de Bruyn taking the high jump. Harold Hart defeated the other racers in both one hundred and two-twenty dashes. At the opening of the football season many of Sophomore class men showed their interests and became efficient members of the squad. They seem to have formed a spirit of good sportsmanship and loyalty to the school. The class has not attempted to function socially. There has not been any social activities held for the Sophomore class alone, but for the school as one, they had a big time Frolic. The accomplishments of Sophomores should be a favorable example for Freshmen of the Fulton High School to follow next year. -PAULINE ELLIOTT, '29. F R O S H President ............ Thomas Myers Vice-President ..... Catherine Conley Secretary ........, Esther Woodbury Treasurer ...... ......,.. R obert Otis We, the members of the Freshman Class of 1927, entered high school last September, being one of the largest classes ever to enter the school. Like all Freshmen Classes of course we had to take our share of knocks from the uptper classmen. But it was not long be ore we became established and were taking our part in the activities of the school. The Hrst thing that the Freshmen organized was the Junior Glee Club. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: President, Maurice Batemang Vice-President, lda- belle Story, Secretary, Catherine Con- leyg and Treasurer, George Roy. In January, new officers were elected: Catherine Conley, President, and Vic- torine Lewis, Treasurer. We sang in assembly early in the spring and showed the big Glee clubs that they were not the only ones with voices. When basket ball time came the freshies were not to be outdone by the other classes. A meeting was held and the boys elected Melville Har- graves, Captain. Mr. Bodley was their advisor while Miss O'Neill was the advisor for the girls. Esther Woodbury was elected captain and she led her team to victory five times out of six. The freshman girls' team held a party in the gym in April. Three members of the faculty were chaperones. Miss Riley, Miss O'Neill and Miss Edmunds. VVe Freshmen are very proud of the numerous societies, we have formed this year. Besides the Glee Club and the basket ball teams are the junior orchestra under the direction of Miss Hoke and the Junior Science Club which was instituted by Miss Otis, teacher of biology. The first meeting was held in Room 3. James Mason was elected Presidentg Ted Freeman, Vice-President, Esther Woodbury, Sec- retary, and Margaret Keyes, Treasurer. Considering how much we did this year, it is safe to say that we will accomplish even better things in the years to follow. -CATHEMNE CONLEY, '3O.
