THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK-FULTON HIGH SCHOOL 27 it. The gift was given at an assembly when Oswego High School was repre- sented here. The Girls' League prepared and served, with the aid of our faculty advisors, Miss Edmunds and Miss Harding, the Block F Banquet for football men. During the basket ball season the girls sold candy at the home games. VVhen tickets were to be sold for entertainments, the league was called upon to assist. The supper given to the Girls' Basket Ball Team of Oswego was served by the organization. The work this year has sur assed that of the first year the Club was organized and it is hoped that the Club will continue to be of service. The Girl Scouts The Girl Scouts, a new organization of the high school, is proving a success. The chief ofiicers are two of the teachers: Miss Edmunds, Captain, and Miss Preston, Lieutenant. The other officers are: Priscilla Howe, Secretary, janet Forsythe, Cheer Leader, Marjorie Harding, Song Leader, and Virginia Hillick, Color Bearer. The scouts are divided into troops with a leader at the head of each: Norma Stevens, Patrol Leader of troop one, Catherine Conley, Patrol Leader of troop two, and Esther Shattuck, Patrol Leader of troop three. Eighteen girls have passed the Ten- derfoot test which includes interesting hikes and picnics besides the more practical work. The Second Class test as already been started and is showing rapid pro ress. New members are being con tinualiy received and the girls seem to like the work. Each member has received some special benefit from the tests. Block F Club When school ends in June it will mark the close of the second successful year of the Block F Club. This club was organized through the efforts of Coachjim Freeman for the urpose of bringing the athletes of Fulion High School closer together, and encouraging more boys to take the athletic oppor- tunities which the school offers. A great improvement has been noticed in these res ects. The teams have shown more figliting spirit, and the fellows have worked smoother together. Since its organization, the club has inspired more boys to turn out for the teams. In all sports the squads 'reporting have tripled those in the days before the club. At the Oswego game, Fulton had forty-four players in uniform, which is a credit to any High School. At the first meeting last fall, the election of oliicers was held with the result that Pete Allen was elected President, Hal Hart, Vice-President, Jimmy Dougan, Secretary, and Hal Sant, Treasurer. During the year, the club has staged dances, boxing and wrestling meets of the Syracuse Uni- versity teams, and movie benefits, as well as lending a hand in the School Circus. Many new men became eligible for membership this year and they will receive their Block F sweaters next June. The Football Banquet was held in the cafeteria with Wes. Allen as chairman. The entire football s uad was present to hear the result off the election of next year's captain. After the dinner, in which johnny Muscalino bested Lige Lake in the Marathon Eating Contest by a single helping of sweet potatoes, Harold Hart was announced the newly elected captain. Speeches by Pete Kraus and Dobie Freeman fol- lowed, after which Foster and VVilliams, the cheer leaders, led cheers for the individual members of the squad, for Jimmie Dougan, last year's captain, for Harold Hart, leader of the '27 team, and for the retiring coach, Dobie Freeman. ill 3 ak Myers- Did you miss me while I was gone?

THR SENIOR YEAR BOOK--FULTON HIGH SCHOOL 29 5265-3 ' ' '-Q25 Athletics gf-bl - - r'4L95i Cheering at F. H. S. 1927 was the greatest year in the history of the school, as far as cheering is concerned. Year after year, our athletes fought for the honor of the school with no encouragement, no cheer- ing. At the annual Oswego game,Fulton did manage to make a little noise, but the long yells of the Oswegonians, with the greatest cheering section in Central NewYorkHsmotheredourbestattempts. But this year, the worm turned. At the annual struggle with Oswego, Fulton stepped out and did things. Fulton started affairs by booming out the first cheer The Spell out Fulton. Oswego hit right back with the Spell out Oswego. In former years, that first volley from the Starch city would be enough to wilt the courage of the cohorts of Fulton for the rest of the game. But not so this year. Fulton CC 77 james Dobie By the untiring efforts and assistance of Coach Freeman, athletics of Fulton High School have been dragged from the mire to a field of glory. A few years ago the teams of the school were com- posed of seniors. With the passing of each class to the outside world, from where were the next teams coming? Possibly some seniors would be out for sports. Those who came out were very few and untrained. Dobie has remedied this condition. Under his influence the underclass- had her spirit up, and promptly pro- ceeded to go mad. Bill Foster and Dan Williams, dressed like a circus parade, tied themselves into a thousand knots and then proceeded to untie them, and sent the F-U-Fight booming across the field. For the first time in the history of the school, a Fulton yell hit the Blue and White square in the face. Never before had Fulton really got fighting mad. And all through long and trying basket ball season, the spirit of F. H. S. never dropped. At every game Hazel Hollingsworth lead the songs, and Foster and Williams kept the cheering sections in an almost continual round of yells. The time has arrived when the expression You cheer like Fulton is no longer one of sarcasm, but one of the highest praise. A. Freeman men have come out for sports. By his talks to the boys in assembly at the beginning of each season of sport, he has inspired an eager feeling in every boy to go out for the best that is in him. The fellows who go out for sports usually stick throughout the entire season. Most of the men play in the games enough quarters or innings to earn a block UF. Dobie is a graduate of Cornell University and was a student of the University of Rochester for two years. He has been a student for three summers at Notre Dame under Knute Rockne. Surely he knows His Stuff. But best of all Dobie is one of the squarest and best coaches that a high school could desire. James A. Freeman is to be head coach of football and assistant coach of basket ball and base- ball at Albany High School. Good luck on your new expedition, Dobie. Though loath to lose a loyal friend and inspiring leader, we send with you our best wishes for continued success in your new field of labor.
