Foreword 4- The 1932 Fultonian is, we believe, the most ambitious production of its kind ever attempted by a graduating class of Fulton High School. We will feel that the volume is a success if it brings to its readers as much pleasure as we have experienced in publishing this annual. W'e hope, too, that the readers of this Fultonian will regard it as a book of memories, through which they may relive the most enjoyable parts of their high school career. In keeping with the Washington Bicentennial Celebration which is taking place this year, we have attempted to carry out the American Colonial theme throughout our book. In almost all the departments, especially in the art work, we have tried to present something reminiscent of Washington's time. We hope you enjoy this manner in which the Class of '32 has chosen to do homage to the Father of Our Country. We wish to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation to those members of all the classes of the school and the Faculty, who, although their names do not appear in the Board of Editors, have, neverthe- less, by their spirit of friendly interest and hearty co-operation, made this publication possible. The Old Order Changet 4- Words of my own, I need not employ For by other greater men it has been said, The old order changeth yielding place to new. I need only revive these words which strike t Four years and eight we have been as clay, Being molded in the hands of the sculptor, And now we venture, all prepared, to face The real test-like the statue-the critic and Tis best we take heed of what those older tell For, as 'tis told, Experience is the best teach And also, use to the utmost our preparation To demonstrate to the world that ifwe will, we Some weaklings tell us destiny has shaped ou But we hearken not to such Hddlings for the Knows a man for what he accomplishes.

Faculty 'LA man with knowledge, but without energy, is a house furnished but not inhabitedg a man with energy but no knowledge, a house dwelt in but unfurnishedf' VVhat sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the human soul. Let me prefer to believe untrue those things which ought not to be so. Cheerfulness is the daughter of Innocence. Great things are done where men and mountains meetg These are not done by jostling in the street. Smile and the world smiles with you, Frown and you frown alone: For this poor old earth has need of your mirth- It has sorrow enough of its own. 'LTO thine ownself be trueg And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. A blessed companion is a book,-a book that, Htly chosen. is a life-long friendf' l 9 l THE FULTONIAN Language is uttered by the lips, but it reveals our hearts and minds. He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much, who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children, who has filled his niche and accomplished his taskg who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul g who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express itg who has looked for the best in others and given the best he had, whose life was an inspiration, whose memory is a benedictionf' Keep your face toward the sun And the shadows will always fall behind you. As you think, you travel, and, as you love, you attract. You are today where your thoughts have brought you, you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. You cannot escape the result of your thoughts, but you can endure and learn, can accept and be glad, you will realize the vision Cnot the idle wishj of your heart, be it base or beautiful or a mixture of both, for you will always gravitate toward that which you, secretly must love. Into your hands will be placed the exact result of your thoughts, you will receive that which you earn-no more, no less. Whatever your present environment may be, you will fall, remain, or rise with your thoughts, your vision, your ideal. You will become as small as your controlling desire, as great as your dominant aspiration. V Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabitf' Perhaps at some future time it will be a pleasure to remember even these things. Pessimists are always in the rear and never in the van in the March of Progress. Your successful men and women are never chronic grumblersf' Live pure, speak true, right wrong, follow the King- Else, wherefor born ? Wfoday is your day and mineg The only day we have: The day in which we play our part, What our part may signify in the great world we may not understand, But we are here to play it, and now is our time. In battle or business, whatever the game, In law, or in love, it's ever the same, In the struggle for power, or scramble for self, Let this be your motto, Rely on yourself. i9l Board of Editors +I:- Editor-in-Chief EARL FOSTER Associate Editors .ALFRED STANTON MADELINE HUNTER ELLEN INIASON Business Manager ARTHUR GLADMAN Associate Business Managers ROBERT OTIS VIRGINIA OKONIEWSKI Sports Editors RAYMOND HAX'DEN ARTHUR JOICE MARJORIE GWYNNE I-Iumor JAMES MCNAMARA FRANCIS CULKIN Clubs VVINONA VVEBSTER ROSE GILLESPIE BERNARD MILLER Literary BETTY HUGHES DORIS PALMER Assemblies NATALIE BAKER CATHERINE SCHNEIDER SHIRLEY ZUCK Faculty Adfuisor NIISS CLARISSA POND Editorial 4+ When George Washington said, Knowledge is the surest basis of happi- ness, he referred to education as the basis of public happiness, but his statement is equally well applicable to our private lives, for without knowl- edge man would be little more than a brute. Happiness lies in achievement, so, in other words, knowledge is the tool which we must employ to fashion our happiness in the form of achievement. After four long years of striving to accumulate knowledge, it is but natural that we should regard ourselves as being well equipped with all the learning that is essential to happiness. However trite it may sound, it is none the less true, that man has never reached the limit in regard to the things which he should know. In the words of John Ruskin, Let every dawn of morning be to you as the beginning of life, and every setting sun be to you as its close, then let every one of these short lives leave its sure record of . . . some goodly strength or knowledge gained for yourselves. Then, too, there is more than one type of knowledge. Besides mere technical learning acquired from books, there is the ability to get along. The world is full of people who are well equipped with special training of all kinds, but simply because they cannot make themselves compatible with their fellows, they are miserable failures in life. We should be constantly striving to acquire this ability during our post graduate course of Life. We are all familiar with the life of Robert Burns and the sad story of his failure. One of the main reasons for his pitiful collapse was that he could not analyze his own problems. In other words, Know thyself. This knowl- edge is highly important, and fortunate indeed are those of us who are able to see our own shortcomings and take steps to counteract them. One of the greatest problems of Washington's time was to aid through education the mass of illiterate people to become capable of intelligent self government. We are still striving towards that goal. Besides the actual training we have received in a particular branch of science, mathematics, or any other subject, we have also developed our reasoning power, we have been trained to get at the root of a situation, to weigh arguments, and to arrive at a conclusion by the process of logical reasoning. If we apply this knowledge to our own public and private lives, we shall have traveled far on the road toward the realization of the dreams of Washington and his colleagues when they founded this nation.

Early in the school year, a member of the faculty suggested that the Juniors and Seniors vie for oratorical honors. As a result of this suggestion, one of the biggest dramatic projects of the year took place. Members of each of the two upper classes responded favorably when the call was given for participants. The eliminations were conducted on the 23rd, 24-th, 25th, and 26th of February. The Juniors who spoke in the eliminations were Arlene Bockes, Esther Bowen, Julia Bunda, Madge Clark, Mary Frank, Revelyn Kamp, Elmer Little, Maria Mitchell, and Joseph Runeare. As a result of these Junior eliminations, Esther Bowen, Mary Frank, Revelyn Kamp, Maria Mitchell, and Joseph Runeare were chosen to represent the Junior Class in the finals. The Seniors who spoke in the elimination contest were Claude Gilbert, Marjorie Gwynne, Frank Guglielmo, Raymond Guyer, Evelyn Hathaway, Madeline Hunter, George Long, Margaret McSweeney, Evelyn Novak, C. Robert'Otis, Helen Phillips, Hilda Remington, George Roy, Winona VVebster, and Shirley Zuck. From this group Marjorie Gwynne, Frank Guglielmo, Raymond Guyer, Madeline Hunter, and George Roy were chosen to represent the Senior Class in the finals. The elimination contests were judged by faculty members, a different group judging each class. With the eliminations over, the finalists looked forward to the decisive battle and, on March 15th, at 8:00 P. M., the Juniors and Seniors tried to take each other's scalps. The judges, lvliss Johnston, Miss Reynolds, and Rev. Allen Hackett, awarded the decision to the class of 1932-the Seniors. As a result of their victory, the Seniors were presented with a beautiful loving cup by Mr. Macdonald. This cup was donated by the Student Council and will be placed in the library with our numerous other trophies. The judges were asked to give honorable mention to one boy and girl. The honorable mentions were not class awards, but merely individual honors. After much deliberation, the judges awarded this individual honor to hfadeline Hunter and Raymond Guyer, both Seniors. The silver loving cup was not won permanently by the Seniors, but is to be contested for each year by the Junior and Senior classes. The numeral of the winning class will be engraved on the cup, which will remain in the school always. The contest was held this year for the first time and it is hoped that it will be an annual classic. Aside from contributing to the number of extra-curricular activities, the Prize-Speaking Contest was introduced to promote interest and training in public speaking. The contest is also an attempt to stir up greater class interest and thus develop a better school spirit. With these goals in mind, let us hope that each Junior and Senior Class hereafter will realize the significance of the Junior-Senior Prize-Speaking Contest and help to further future interest in the affair. l26l THE FULTONIAN Senior Dance Did you go? Well, if you didn't, you missed the brightest social event of the school year. On the evening of April 15, nearly two hundred students forsook the enchantment of the silvery moon floating in the star sprinkled sable of the sky and filled the gaily decorated gym of the high school. It is said that in the spring-time, a young man's fancy turns lightly to thoughts of love, but in this case, the young man brought his love to the Senior Dance. Many old grads, home for the Easter vacation, attended and added solemnity to the affair. It seems that no matter whether they wander on some foreign strand or in the wilds of Oswego County, they will always cherish fond memories of happy student days spent in dear old Fulton High School. The soft beams of colored floodlights offered the only illumination, bathing the dancers in a phosphorescent glow. fRumor has it that the fellow who changed the color of the lights, after each dance, is suing for a new pair of shoes to replace the pair he wore out. He estimated that he walked fifty miles during the course of the evening. That's nothing, I walked farther than that, said Ray Guyer. It seems that our beloved president danced every danced 1 Numerous contests were features of the dance. The Seniors had the largest attendance, winning the prize, Ca large box of unshelled peanuts- of all thingslj, with the Juniors, Sophs, and Frosh following in the order named. Spot dances were a part of the program, with attractive prizes being awarded the lucky winners. Parker Van Buren served as the illustrious master of ceremonies. An intermission was called at eleven o'clock, during which refreshments were available in the cafeteria. Dancing was resumed shortly and continued until twelve olclock rang down the curtain on the festivities. Peace and quiet reigned supreme. Only one lone man moved slowly across the moonlit floor. It was Mr. Randall surveying the wreckage and wondering how he was going to sweep up the peanut shucks, ground into the floor by the feet of the dancers. '41- Mike Leechadell- You think you're smart, Sol, but if you had in your head, what I have in mine, you couldn't sleep nights. Sol Finocchiaro- I had 'em once, but I got rid of 'em. l27l 'l'lI li F I7 LTUN IA N I I l The Senior Play Her Step-Husband, a three-act comedy-drama, by Larry lil. Johnson, was presented by the Senior Class of 1932 in the Auditorium of the Fulton High School, Nlay lfith. lNfIarjorie Gwynne, the young wife, proved quite a trial to her husband. In order to make a good impression on her visiting aunt, hlarjorie not only borrowed the furniture from next door, but also hired a maid and persuaded her husband to act as the butler. CRaymond broke quite a few pieces of china. XVe wonder whylj Everything turned out well, until the fussy aunt, QAllie put one over on us this time., inquired for the husband. The whole play was hlled with a humorous atmosphere. Nluch credit was due to our coach, Nliss Stratton, and to the members of the cast for its complete success.

Ile was assisted by Xvinona lVebster and Ifarl Foster, and, with the help of other members of the Council. succeeded in making the affair a big success. Rev. Allen Hackett and Coach Arnly'l' Anderson were the speakers. .Xt this assembly the newly chosen cheer leaders appeared in public for the first time. Their good work at this assembly was largely responsible for the success of the program. These cheer leaders were active throughout the football and basketball season and were present at each athletic encounter. I 301 THE FULTONIAN These cheer leaders were: Girls--Ruth Curtis, Elizabeth Mehegan, Veronica Fitzgerald, and Harriet Hollingsworth. Boys-Lewis Brault, James Smettem, Mike Gorman, Isaac Story and Raymond Guyer. The second major Council project was a l-lallowe'en Frolic. The com- mittee, as appointed by President Sczupak, was headed by Alice O'Grady. She was assisted by Maude Fannin and Monroe Lamb. Judging by the size of the crowd, this dance was a huge success. Every- body seemed to enjoy the cider and doughnuts fask L'Snoot'l Campbellj which were served in the cafeteria during intermission. During the course of the evening several most enjoyable stunts were presented by the different classes and clubs. Much to the surprise of everyone, the Senior Class won the prize for attendance. ' ln January, President Sczupak finished school. This necessitated the election of a new President and Vice-President. The officers elected on February 25th were Monroe Lamb, President and Earl Foster, Vice- President. At the same time Alfred Stanton and Joe Mehegan were elected to fill two vacancies. At the Junior-Senior Prize-Speaking Contest the Council presented the cup to the Senior Class. Plans for the Washington Bicentennial Program are being made. This program is to be given in the latter part of May. The committees as appointed by President Lamb are: General Com- mittee, Walter Witowski, Maude Fannin, Raymond Guyer, and Alice O'Grady. Decoration Committee, Alfred Stanton, Joe Mehegan, Ernest Johnson, Edward Chubb, and Earl Foster. Program Committee, Winona Webster, Genevieve Ware, Mario Alciati, Virginia Bailey, and Ruth Taylor.

Science Club The first meeting of this Ufamousn society was held September 22 to discuss plans for the initiation of new members. All sorts of horrors were planned for the large class of pledged candidates. A week later, twenty- three were initiated into the mysteries of the Science Club with the spark of scientific enthusiasm, the lung test, the third degree, and other forms of torture. Needless to say, the freshmen thought the eats the most enjoy- able part of the evening. On November 10, the members enjoyed the first program presented by the various sections. Right before our very eyes water was separated, then reunited by the skill of Edna Rude and Lawrence Stewart. hlanganese, an essential metal, was discussed by Catherine Schneider. Rachael Anderson and Helen Koski, in the physics section, demonstrated convection currents. Our noble scientist, Robert Xvilcox, showed us something about thermo- static control. For physical geography, Fred Sabota gave a demonstration of stream erosion. The Conquest of the Cascades, a motion picture, con- cluded this instructive program. VVho doesn't remember Robert Otis pouring forth his ideas about lNIen, hlolecules, and Stars, December 8? However, the main speech was given by hir. Bodley, who enlarged upon the subject, Opportunities for Young bien and VVomen in the Field of Chemistry, already discussed by Cath- erine Schneider and Alfred Stanton. For physics, Alfred hlenter succeeded in boiling water with ice, while Genevieve Reynolds read a paper on black 1341 THE FULTONIAN light. Again Robert Wilcox came to the fore with his demonstration of a miraculous flame that hears. Belle Ritchie demonstrated an Artesian well, assisted by the chairman, Fred Sabota. Robert Wilcox certainly is the class scientist. On February 16, he and Morris Tillotson demonstrated spontaneous combustion, automatic fire alarm and chemical fire extinguisher. It only took Prof. Wilcox five minutes to discover that the reason the alarm refused to function was that the batteries were not connected. Fred Sabota discussed Pluto with much vim. This meeting was brief, as we held initiation first. Can anyone forget all the grimy hands our noble president had to shake that night? Owing to that famous March blizzard, our next meeting was held April 12. The mysterious Madame X and her notorious accomplice showed us how we can write our notes hereafter so that no one can read the mes- sages. In physics, Morris Tillotson demonstrated a short wave receiver, while Arthur Loomis demonstrated condensers. Mr. Macdonald gave us an inspiring talk on the Physics of the Human Body. i On April 21, Science Club joined with the Girl Scouts, Troop I, to hear an illustrated talk on the Hawaiian Islands by Mr. Wiltsie. As a large number of the old members are graduating this year, we ex- tend our best wishes to the survival of the fittest for the continued success of Science Club. E2 24 HK Q Day 's Toil By WILLIAM Fox The earth appears dressed in her brightest green, each morn as the days grow longer and warmer. Trees are no longer dark, gaunt arms of the fields, but are adorned with small spreading leaves. Now and then, flocks of birds swiftly wing their way by to their northern haunts. Every stream is swollen high upon its muddy banks, where large black hornets pause to add more to their loads for the building of their summer homes. The sun slowly begins to fade in the west. ' The cooling breeze gradually dies, and all the world seems to be looking back on a day's work and is saying: 1 think it is well done. 1351 The Dramatic Club THE FULTONIAN Sigma Lambda A Dramatics Club was organized in Fulton High School last fall for the first time since 1927, when the Thalians disbanded. The officers selected to guide this fragile bark over the stormy seas of dramatic art were: President ,..,.............r....... Arthur Gladman Vice-president . . . . . . Nellie Mae Prime Secretary ....,...i....,.......... Winona Webster Treasurer ........... ,,......,... R aymond Guyer These heroic individuals, after a long and arduous struggle, gasped their last in February, having accomplished the numerous tasks which al- ways accompany the organization of any club. They decided upon the time and place for meetings, drew up a constitution, and the like. They were succeeded by a new set of officers. Frank Guglielmo is now president of the flourishing society, with Evelyn Hathaway, vice-president, Helen Phillips, secretaryg and Robert Otis, treasurer. At the weekly meetings, programs which have been prepared by the members are presented. At these meetings, we are entertained by such illustrious performers as Salvatore Finnochario, with his trio of guitar strummers, Clyde Smith, whose warbling has been heard over the radio, and Paul Forenzi, who can wheedle almost any tune out of a piano accordion. Occasionally even a play is produced! And here's where our future Greta Garbos and Douglas Fairbanks' first gain recognition. With such talented actors as those who participated in the four plays which were presented- The Teeth of the Gift Horse, Just Advertise, Evening Dress Indispensable, and 'gJourney's End, even Miss Pond dares not deny that Fulton shelters some budding genii. 355 ravi TH IE FU LTONIAN First RowfR.

Carpe Diem At the beginning of the spring term, blr. blacdonald suggested a plan of organizing a club for Juniors, Seniors, and Post Graduates who are taking College Entrance courses. The purpose of the club is to inform the students about college life Qsocial and otherwisej and to acquaint them with the entrance requirements of the various colleges. bliss Preston, bliss Reynolds, and bliss Wlallace are the faculty advisers of the club. All students who were interested in such an organization met and selected a committee to draw up a constitution and to decide upon a name for the club. After much discussion, a suitable name was chosen Cin order to be suitable it must be impossible to spell, beyond pronunciation, and Greek to everyonej l The name finally selected means Seize the Present Dayu tat least as far as we knowb . About two weeks later, the first meeting was held, at which the following oflicers were elected: President ..,,. . ,blike Gorman Vice-president. A , . NVilhelmina Carr Secretary .... . . .Natalie Baker Treasurer ,...,,..... ....,. . . ..... Ellen blason At this meeting, it was decided that a separate committee be appointed for each program a few Weeks before it was to be presented. lt was also decided that since the purpose of the club was to acquaint students with college life, all members must be able to dance. As a result, passers-by every Friday night hear the red-hot rhythm of Alton Bennett and his Ublaroon Ramblers converting this educational institution into a virtual night clubl Thus far, the meetings have consisted of a speaker and two hours of l33l THE FULTONIAN dancing. Our speakers have been faculty members. Mr. Nlacdonald, Mr. Bodley, Mr. Pratt, Mr. Coles, and Miss Johnston have given excellent talks informing us of certain phases of college life, the opportunities afforded, the requirements, and anything we wished to ask concerning any particular college. It has recently been suggested that our social program be changed. ln view of the fact that dancing is not the only form of social life, a bridge party is to be given fand we hope enjoyedj soon. Every member must learn to play bridge. Here's hoping that the students show the same enthusiasm for bridge. May the future Carpe Diem meetings be as instructive and entertaining as the past ones have been! -QI- Night on the Desert By ELLEN MASON Night, that elusive, mysterious phantom, Comes down on the desert with a stealthy tread, Fearful lest he scare away a band of brigands Seated in a sinister group around their fire, Plotting the abduction of a chieftain's daughter, Or planning a surprise attack on the outpost. Overhead the stars look down in silent wonder On the great expanse of shapeless sand, Dotted here and there with red gleams VVhich signify that travelers have made their last stop that day, And are waiting for the cool night breezes To refresh them after the terrific heat of noon. Finally the moon rises above the dunes Sending an opalescent glow over the desert, Sailing higher, ever higher in the cloudless sky And looking down on the world with cool disdain, Her silvery aloofness a symbol of peace and quiet. i391 'I' H Ii F I' I.'llONI:XN First Row'-B.

Le Cercle Francais Ifarly this year, the students of the French III class, under the super- vision of lVIiss Simons, organized Le Cercle Francais. Needless to say, we held election of oflicers at the first meeting. At the close of the fray, Rose Gillespie emerged, bearing the standard, with Virginia XViley, vice-president, bfladeline Hunter, secretary: and blarjorie Gwynne, treasurer CA Girl Scoutls Honor is to be Trustedj. Later in the term, we initiated a group of candidates from the French Il class into the club. And what an initiation! The look of misery on Edna Rude's face as she delivered a five-minute speech, grasping an ice-cube,- and the abject terror in the hearts of those who came before the gas stove to be branded. Oh, it was prirele.v.v! Irene Austic afterwards confessed that she thought we were going to gay her. However, we weren't quite that bad. .Xfter the initiation, refreshments were served, but the new members had quite lost their appetites during the first part of the meeting.

Art Club An Art Club was organized for the first time at Fulton High School in lNIarch of this year, for the purpose of endeavoring to cultivate in the minds of the art students a broader knowledge of the high lights of art. The club is supervised by lWiss Lu H. Becker, who has been untiring in her devotion to the good of the organization. The officers fatter the smoke of battle had clearedj were found to be: President .,... . , .Virginia XVilev Vice-president ..,..... . .Robert Cook Secretary and Treasurer . Betty llill blembership is gained by fulfilling the following requirements: l. .Xt least one term of Art work with an average of 9096 , or over. 2. Two terms of general high school work. General meetings of the Art Club are held once a month: while the dillerent committees meet as often as required to work on various projects. The Art Club is now perspiring over the task of constructing a miniature reproduction of a colonial room, which we hope to display in the June art exhibit in the high school gym. The boys in the club Qyes, there are some boys who have managed to acquire a 9024 art averagej are building the furniture, such as a spinning wheel, chairs, four-poster bed, and the like: while the girls, poor things, are sewing their lingers to the bone in making small quilts, rag rugs, a bed canopy, and colonial-style doll clothes. Un the whole, we think the Art Club has progressed marvelously, and we have found that the work can be a pleasurable as well as a profitable experience. l ll l TH E FU LTONIAN l L First Row-M.

Girl Scouts, Troup I Another prosperous year rolled around for these hearty salties belong- ing to Captain Edmunds and Lieutenant Preston. The annual week at the troop camp fBernard's Bay this yearj proved extremely successful, although VVillie'l Carr talked so much after hours that Marge Gwynne assumed the honorary position as being the ideal camper on good behavior. We thought we were going to have either a lobster or a crab for dinner but Miss Preston's blistered sunburn and then her disposition finally calmed down. Later in the summer, some of our worthy scouts enjoyed several weeks at Camp Twelve Pines-under the excellent leadership of our county director, Miss Vena Stevens. After all the many Troop ll leaders had suffered nervous breakdowns, bliss Edmunds and Miss Preston assumed the responsibility of them. Now that Betty Hill has found that she must work to please her superior scout mistresses, she plans to compete with her Eaglet sister, Miss Nfarion Hill. Doddy Allen is like Mary with her little lamb for she insisted on bringing her little galloping bloodhound to scout meeting with her. Troop I has some promising actresses in the forms of Lois VVilson, Dora Allen, Betty Hill, and Chotty Hollingsworth who find it is more interesting to cut capers and discuss the would-be boy friends than to listen to a nurse explain first aid. The Falcon Boys' Club loaned Troop I the use of its club rooms for a cake sale-a financial success but a cake Hzzle. To Work was stylish so Troop I became star gazers and rushed up onto the roof of Fulton High School to study the stars under lVIr. Bodley's supervision only to find that the stars did not choose to shine. It was too cold up there anyway. Here's luck to Troop I, and may many similar happy years follow under the leadership of our captain and lieutenant! l42l THE FULTONIAN Future Farmers of America The Fulton Chapter of Future Farmers of America has participated in many events during the past season. Judging teams were sent to the State Agricultural School at Delhi and to the New York State Fair at Syracuse. Our boys did fine work in judging cattle, poultry, fruits, and vegetables, considering the number of boys in competition for the prizes. The judging team consisted of the following members-Burleigh Chaffee, Willard Rowlee, and Guy Long. Our basketball season was also very successful. Our team was undefeated in the Agricultural League and took second place in the Junior Division of the City League. The only victors over the Aggies last year were beaten by a score nearly double that of last year. The Hamilton five seems to be able toiplay better on an out-of-town court than on their own. The annual Watermelon Festival of the club was held in August, at the home of David Wilcox, former president of the New York clubs. Contests were held and prizes awarded to the victors. The most exciting event seemed to be the baseball game over which everyone was enthusiastic because of the grand prize, a large, ripe watermelon. In November, election of oilicers was held. The following oflicers were chosen: President .... .. Elmer Okoniewski Vice-president . . . . . . Burleigh Chaffee Secretary .... .... R obert Allen Treasurer . . . . . Charles Wilcox Watch Dog . . . ....., Lyman Wilcox Editor ..,.... . . . Sherwood Ingaimells Health Oflicer .. Lawrence Stewart Advisor ...........,....,.,.......... E. L. Black On Thursday night, November 5, 1931, a banquet was given for the friends and families of the club members. Speakers from Cornell and Syracuse University, and Mr. Macdonald, gave interesting talks. Musical selections were given by some of the members. The Future Farmers also assisted the 4-H clubs by co-operating with them in a display of 4-H work and farm products exhibited at the Oswego County Trust Company. 4-H clubs were also assisted by the Aggies with their tree projects. This year's enrollment in the organization has been the largest in the history of the Agricultural Department of Fulton High School. May the future projects of the club be as successful as those undertaken this season! l43l ff ATHLLTICS X THE FULTONIAN 1 1 I,ineiV. Mehegan, A. Curtis, H. Sweet, C. Battreal, D. Price, VV. Diflin, E. Chubb. Backtield-E. Sczupak, E. Nicolli, W. Witowski, G. Vllardhaugh. Football Fulton opened its football season rather auspiciously September 19, 1931, by meeting Phoenix High School, an old rival, at Recreation Park. Five regulars from the 1930 team composed the nucleus of the team- Canuck Wardhaugh, Ernie Nicolli, Emo Sczupak, Abie Sweet and f'Stubl' Hayden. Fulton managed to eke out a victory over the hard- fighting Phoenix boys in the fourth quarter when three touchdowns were scored, making the final score 21-7. Three complete Fulton teams saw action in this game. The third and second teams played one quarter each and the first team played a half. On September 26th the Waterloo team journeyed to Fulton with a fine reputation as a football team but were sent home on the short end of the score. After the first quarter of this game the superiority of the Fulton team was clearly shown. The half ended with the score 12-0 for Fulton. On the last half Fulton ran up twenty more points making the total score 32-0. In this game VValter CFlashJ Witowski made his debut running wild and scoring two touchdowns after some pretty runs. The following Saturday, October 3, Rome was encountered on her own field. Here Fulton absorbed her first defeat of the season, losing 12-7. On the way to Rome in the bus, the team was pleasingly entertained by Warren Stewart and his pet harmonica. Warren played many of the old-time tunes, which must have been good because there was no note of protest from Coach Anderson. The antics of Gabby Novak and Joe Litwak, who followed the bus about five miles in their old tin lizzy, provided another source of amusement. The poor Ford couldn't stand the pace and soon dropped far astern of the speeding bus. As the game was played on one of the hottest days of the year, it was practically impossible for each member of the team 1461 7 THE FULTONIAN to give his best. After receiving the kickoff, the Red and Green team ran the ball down the field to about Rome's 12-yard line. Here Fulton lacked a scoring punch and Rome took the ball on downs. Rome scored its first touch- down on a pass into the end zone with only seconds to go remaining in the first half. A Rome man picked up a Fulton fumble in the second half while it was still in the air and ran for a touchdown. In the fourth quarter Flash Witowski scored Fulton's only touchdown on a nice run around Fulton's right end. The final score of this game was 12-7 in favor of Rome. Aftera week of very strenuous practice Fulton departed for Dolgeville, a distance of over one hundred miles, to play the team representing Dolgeville High School. Flash Witowski again came through to pall this game from the fire. Score, 6-0. There were more people listening to the results of the World-Series over the radio installed in the bus parked near the playing field than there were watching the game. In this game Pete Chubb made a big hit with some of the Dolgeville lasses. Ask Pete about it. He will probably deny it, but it's true. Our next game was fought with Oneida in a sea of mud at Recreation Park. Fulton had the edge on Oneida both on the defensive and offensive, but the breaks refused to come the right way. Oneida scored their touch- down in the second quarter after two short punts had placed them in position. They had a very difficult time in scoring this touchdown due to the stubborn defense of our team. Vince Mehegan scored Fulton's only points when he tackled the Oneida safety man behind his own goal. This game should have ended in a tie score to do justice to both teams. VVatertown came to Fulton on the following Saturday with a much heavier team than usual. Fulton, as well as Watertown, didn't come within serious scoring distance in this game until, with only seconds remaining to play, VVatertown was perched on Fulton's one and a half yard line. VVatertown took too much time to call their signals and the game ended before they could put the ball over. Score 0-0. The Canastota game surprised everyone who saw it. Canastota was the first to score, and Nicolli scored soon after on a long run after receiving a pass from Sczupak. This score was also a tie-7-7. The small Canastota team was superior to Fulton in nearly every respect but line bucking. On November 7th, before a crowd of nearly 5,000 people at Recreation Park, Fulton met her old rival, Oswego, with nothing at stake except the reputations of both teams. Oswego scored in the second quarter on a sucker play which caught all the Fulton players napping. McGrath romped through his left tackle for a touchdown after the whole Fulton team had been decoyed to the right. Oswego scored again in the fourth quarter on another break against Fulton. Oswego punted and Fulton's safety man touched the ball as it rolled over the goal. An Oswego linesman fell on the ball for another touchdown. Fulton was rapidly gaining ground on Oswego by the use of passes as the game ended. Score 13-0. Carl Battreal, scrappy Fulton center, was the big noise for Fulton in this game. l47l THE FULTONIAN l l LL V First Row-Lane, Osborn, Becker, Case, Joice, Wardhaugh. Second Row-Stewart, Dann, Diflin, Rebeor, Loveless, Safranski. Basketball Fulton began its 1931-'32 basketball season with a nucleus of three veterans, namely, Emil Sczupak, guard and captain, Bob Case, guardg and Leonard Osborn, forward. Ernie Becker was selected to occupy the vacant forward position, while Chief Rogozinski took over the center position. After the last cut, the following other players were retained on the squad: guards-Maurice Rebeor, Bob Loveless, Pat Nlelfi, and Bill Difling for- wards-Art Joice, Don Dann, and Teddy Safranskig centers-Bill Lane, Gabbie Stewart, and Chauncey Fry. During the season Fulton Won every one of its six non-league games, easily defeating Pulaski, Phoenix, and Eastwood. The first league game was with Oswego at Recreation Park. The score was close throughout the first half, which ended with Oswego leading, 7-3. ln the last half, however, Oswego drew slowly away, winning the game 24-10. The next game was with Oneida in the High School Gym. Fulton secured a good lead in the first half but the Oneida boys Hnished strongly, creeping up to within two points of Fulton's score. However, the lead was too great to overcome, and Fulton won the game 37-35. The following Friday the Fulton team traveled to Oneida where they were defeated after a hard struggle. Oneida secured an early lead, and were never overtaken, although a whirlwind finish by the Fulton boys, aided by several substitutions, threatened to snatch the victory from them. Final score-Fulton, 305 Oneida, 34. The next night the Fulton boys invaded Sherrill and came from behind to win a thrilling game. Osborn, Sczupak, and Becker were the outstanding players on the Fulton team. Score-Fulton, 30, Sherrill, 22. ln our first meeting with Canastota, Fulton lost a heart-breaker in the High School Gym, by a score of 24 to 23. Wlith Canastota leading by two Hill THE FULTONIAN points and but seconds of the game remaining, Sczupak sunk a basket to tie the score. A foul shot, however, gave the visiting boys a lead of one point which they held at the close of the game. Our second game with Canastota found a similar situation. At the end of the Hrst quarter, Fulton was eight points behind. They fought hard, however, and evened the score in the third quarter. Canastota secured the lead once more and held it until a few seconds before the end of the game, when Joyce dropped the ball in from under the basket to tie the score. In the overtime period Canastota scored three points to Fulton's one to win the game, 22-20. Emil Sczupak Hnished his course at Fulton High and left school the next week to seriously weaken the team by his absence. Dado Karns took on Sczupak's duties and played several very good games in the guard position. Fulton went down in defeat before the weak Sherrill team on the Fulton Court to the tune of 27 to 18. The Fulton players missed many easy shots at the basket and seemed to be off, At Rome the Fulton boys seemed rather handicapped by the lack of room. Up there the scorekeepers are rather nearsighted and it is necessary for them to sit at a table on the court. A set of parallel bars in one corner and a horse in the other, prevented a player from using these corners. Fulton lost the game 28 to 14. The second game with Rome found Fulton minus the services of another player. Chief Rogozinski was declared ineligible, leaving vacant the very important pivot position. ln the Rome game Bob Loveless and Chauncey Fry alternated in this position. After a hard struggle, Rome came out on top with a score of 17 to 12. The final game of the season was with Oswego. During the first half the two teams fought on fairly even terms, but in the last two quarters the game developed into a field day for the Oswego team. Although the Fulton Reserves lost to the strong Oswego Junior Varsity, yet, the outlook for Fulton's next year's team is very bright. +91- 1t is not growing like a tree ln bulk, doth make Man better beg Or standing long an oak, three hundred year, To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere: A lily of a day ls fairer far in May, Although it fall and die that night- It was the plant and flower of Light.

Girls' Basketball XVhat a team! VVhat a coach! VVhat sports! Nlagnificent playing, often resulting in heart-breaking defeats, constituted the girls' glorious basket- ball season. Never before have other teams clamored to play our quintet as they did this year. Although the common prediction was that the girls had shot their lirst and last bolt after the Fulton victory in the Phoenix-lfulton game, the dust continued to fly thick and fast during the successive meets. The manager of the girls! team received a most amusing letter from the Phoenix manager. Due to a slight misunderstanding-the Fulton man- ager had written to Phoenix inquiring about the return game to be played in Fulton. The following letter was received: Dear Bliss Gwynne: Our girls have been planning to play your team in Fulton Klon- day evening, February 29.7 .Xnd then, as though the writer doubted bliss Gwynne's comprehensive ability, this postscript was added: We'll be there lylonday for the game. Needless to say, all Phoenix arrived in Fulton on the scheduled date. And what a game that wasl Fulton won by 10 pointsm-the score being 7-17. The score for the Phoenix-Fulton game played in Phoenix was 12-7 in favor of Fulton. For some unknown reason, Phoenix thought that she should have won both games. The Canastota game, played in Canastota, was very thrilling even though Fulton was defeated, 20-27. This defeat, however, was partially due to the fact that our very etlicient but rather slow score keeper arrived 1501 THR FULTONIAN with our star players shortly after the first quarter. VVe gave Miss Preston a running start, too. At Weedsport, the game was played in a 2 by 4 structure called Fireman's Hall. Upon our arrival in that city, we found that everyone but players had to pay at the door. Weedsport must have thought that Miss Edmunds brought her first 3 sub-teams as well as her regular squad. The score of this game, one of Fulton's few defeats was 33-38. The Fulton girls suffered another one of their few defeats at Mexico. Almost as soon as we arrived at the high school, the lights went out and stayed out for quite awhile. The pitch dark affected our timid players so that they did not play their best. Oh, how we missed our Mitsy l Why didn't Helen Novak wait until this summer to break her arm? Squad practice was every Monday afternoon at 3:35 and every Wednes- day evening at 7:15. Every girl came to these practices religiously and all enjoyed herself immensely. There was only one 'flaw and that was Ellen Van Buren. It seems that Ellen enjoys paddling around in the water, so she would shower for an hour or so. The first two or three times we rushed down to the locker-rooms all ready to practice artihcial resuscita- tion on Ellen only to find her talking away to herself. After that we always found a comfortable bench and waited and waited and waited. The team with the youngest recruits battled a game fight and lost out by the narrowest margins. Too much credit cannot be given to Coach Edmunds for her untiring work and to all the members of the squad. We are only sorry that the girls' varsity is to be discontinued next year.

Captained by William Stewart, this team, although not victorious in its meets, deserves much credit for the sportsmanlike manner with which it engaged in each encounter. Members of the team were Captain Stewart, Lawrence Montague, Edwin Smith, Joseph Rosenbloom, Robert VVilcox, Edwin Ducret, Charles Chapman, Edward St. Onge, William Bryant, George Price, and Raymond Guyer. Meeting Oswego High School in a dual meet at Fulton on the morning of the annual Fulton- Oswego football game, Fulton High School lost by one point, the score being 27-28. The next Friday Fulton again engaged in a dual meet with Oswego, this time at Oswego. One of the most unusual circumstances ever recorded in a cross-country contest occurred in this meet. Fulton lost by exactly the same score as it did the previous week, 27-28. Captain Stewart finished first in each of these meets and was followed closely by his col- leagues. ln the annual Palladium-Times cross-country meet held in Oswego, Fulton was less fortunate. Captain Stewart finished a close second, but his team mates seemed to have an off day and all they could do for their Alma Mater was to secure a Unot-too-auspicious third place in the team score. Both these Oswego races were run over the hazardous Fort Ontario two- mile course. lncidentally, Captain Stewart holds the record for this course. Mr. Black, our coach, deserves much credit for his capable handling of the Fulton cross-country team. VVorking daily with his proteges, lNlr. Black has gained the affection and confidence of each member of the team. It is hoped that in the future those boys who are able to run reasonably well will report to lNlr. Black when the call is given, in order that Fulton may be represented in the future with the best possible cross-country team. 'fif- Soft Ball As a substitute for baseball, which has been discontinued for a year, Coach Anderson has organized a soft ball league. Judging by the popular- ity of this sport, it will have to be continued even after baseball is resumed. Ye Ed saw the first few innings between the Toppers and the Bouncers. That was some game. lt had all the pepper of a big league contest, especially when Ike Johnson began to ride the pitcher from the sidelines. It was during the early innings of this contest that the first run of the soft ball season was brought in by Socky Perkins for the Toppers. lf names mean anything, we should see some real ball when the Cubs, Pirates, Giants, and Tigers go into action. The Fultonian goes to press too early to give any definite results of the League playoffs, and we dare not offer any Dope. l54l THE FULTONIAN with our Star players shortly after the first quarter.

However, it was soon evident that, because of the almost conclusive evidence presented by the prosecution, there was no hope. The jury deliberated two hours, then waited ten minutes more while Mr, Macdonald donned his robe of office. Judge Macdonald: Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury. What is your decision in this case ? Foreman Lamb: After due deliberation, the jury finds the defendant guilty as charged. Judge Macdonald: I sentence you to imprisonment, in Mr. Anderson's ofiice, for the period of one year. The lamentations of the student body shook the building to its very foundations, and awakened sleepers as far North as Pumpkin Holler, Ontario, by heck. This same student body, however, did not see fit to support the basketball team when it ran into a streak of bad luck, this season. Why are not the other sports as well attended as is football? Only by the willing co-operation of every student in Fulton High, will it be possible, in the future, to be sure of Fulton's participation in all sports. l53l THE FULTONIAN Cross Country During the past cross-country season, Fulton High School was repre- sented by one of the finest groups of distance runners ever assembled in the history of this school. Captained by William Stewart, this team, although not victorious in its meets, deserves much credit for the sportsmanlike manner with which it engaged in each encounter. Members of the team were Captain Stewart, Lawrence Montague, Edwin Smith, Joseph Rosenbloom, Robert VVilcox, Edwin Ducret, Charles Chapman, Edward St. Onge, VVilliam Bryant, George Price, and Raymond Guyer. Meeting Oswego High School in a dual meet at Fulton on the morning of the annual Fulton- Oswego football game, Fulton High School lost by one point, the score being 27-28. The next Friday Fulton again engaged in a dual meet with Oswego, this time at Oswego. One of the most unusual circumstances ever recorded in a cross-country contest occurred in this meet. Fulton lost by exactly the same score as it did the previous week, 27-28. Captain Stewart finished first in each of these meets and was followed closely by his col- leagues. ln the annual Palladium-Times cross-country meet held in Oswego, Fulton was less fortunate. Captain Stewart finished a close second, but his team mates seemed to have an Hoff day and all they could do for their Alma Mater was to secure a not-too-auspicious third place in the team score. Both these Oswego races were run over the hazardous Fort Ontario two- mile course. lncidentally, Captain Stewart holds the record for this course. Mr. Black, our coach, deserves much credit for his capable handling of the Fulton cross-country team. VVorking daily with his proteges, Mr. Black has gained the affection and confidence of each member of the team. It is hoped that in the future those boys who are able to run reasonably well will report to Mr. Black when the call is given, in order that Fulton may be represented in the future with the best possible cross-country team. 41' Soft Ball As a substitute for baseball, which has been discontinued for a year, Coach Anderson has organized a soft ball league. Judging by the popular- ity of this sport, it will have to be continued even after baseball is resumed. Ye Ed saw the first few innings between the Toppers and the Bouncers. That was some game. lt had all the pepper of a big league contest, especially When Ike Johnson began to ride the pitcher from the sidelines. It was during the early innings of this contest that the first run of the soft ball season was brought in by Socky Perkins for the Toppers. If names mean anything, we should see some real ball when the Cubs, Pirates, Giants, and Tigers go into action. The Fultonian goes to press too early to give any definite results of the League playoffs, and we dare not offer any Dope. l54l THE FULTONIAN The Fulton High School Soft Ball League TIIE BOUNCERS F.

Debating .Ks has been the custom for several years in the past, lfulton lligh School was again a member of the Union College lnterscholastic Debating l.eague. It is well to recall here, that for two successive seasons, the lfulton lligh School debators, under the excellent coaching of bliss Johnston, have been successful in winning a cup awarded to the district champions. lt was our ardent hope to repeat this exceptional feat, but our hope came to naught. This year the topic debated was That the Several States should lfnact l.egislation, providing for Compulsory Lvnemployment Insurance to which both the lfmployer and lfmployee shall contribute. .Ks you may surmise, the question was one which was indeed very appropriate to the existing economical conditions. It was not at all devoid of interest with the consequence that many informal and heated arguments ensued between the members of both teams. The enjoyment in debating comes in the way of making known your personal opinion on the matter and letting the other members refute the arguments you propose--which they will most certainly do. Our negative team, consisting of Doris Palmer, Catherine Schneider. Nlorris lillotson, and C. Robert Otis, alternate, contested the affirmative team of Blodgett Vocational High of Syracuse. 'lihis proved to be an interesting meeting, the debate appearing a very close one. but our negative team emerged victorious, the decision being 2 to l in its favor. my THE FULTONIAN The affirmative team, composed of Rose Gillespie, alternate, Alfred Stanton, Raymond Guyer, and Frank Guglielmo, was scheduled to meet the Oswego Negative Team-Oswego, our old and trusty rival! In ex- pectation of meeting a truly formidable opponent, the team conscientiously sat down to the task of condensing their speeches, choosing the most logical constructive arguments, and selecting the most effective rebuttal. On March 17, fthe date, event and decision will always linger in our mindsj we drove to our neighboring city and there debated Oswego. Space will not permit me to write a more detailed account, but it was a very impressive and colorful debate. Let me state that we were exceedingly proud to be representatives of Fulton High School that evening. As I remarked before, that debate left a lasting impression upon us. To state the result brieffy, we came home in very low, depressed spirits that evening, but we did win a moral victory! I forgot to mention before that our affirmative team was somewhat elated over its victory in a debate with our negative team held a day prior to the Oswego debate. That evening, three of our eminent teachers offici- ated as judges. They were, in order of size, fso that no one will feel slighted if her name appears lastj Miss Pond, Miss Stratton, and Miss Preston. Even if all the judges were women, the affirmative team thinks that they are qualified to sit in any jury. The decision in this case was 3-0 for the affirmative. Excuse me-4 to 0 in accordance with the point scoring system used by the league. If you have noticed, debating is included in the sports section of this book, and here it rightfully belongs. There is no game existing which requires any more sportsmanship, ability to think, or to act intelligently in cases of emergency. Although it is not a muscle building sport, there is nothing to excell it as a mind builder. I hope that when the call is given for candidates for the debating team next year, that it will be answered whole-heartedly by those who follow us. They should answer the call even if it is only to come in contact with our capable coach, Miss Johnston, an experience which will prove of inestimable value. As a lasting tribute to her and to all future teams, may we of the debating teams express our appreciation for her excellent instructions and intimate advice by wishing her all the success in the world! -522' He who laughs last laughs best, but he soon gets a reputation for being dumb. It's a queer world. Remain silent and others suspect that you are ignorant: talk and you remove all doubt of it. l57l DRNVIATICB 5 THE FULTONIAN F. H. S. Musical Clubs 1 Shortly after the beginning of the fall term, the orchestra, and the boys' and the girls, glee clubs were brought together into one organization, The F.H.S. Musical Clubs. The primary purpose of this club is to unite the musical interests of the high school that they may function as a whole in presenting concerts and entertainments. Incidentally, this organization later became a sort of social club as well. Our first concert was very successfully held on December 4, 1931. The financial return was substantial, and, needless to say, we then and there planned a party to celebrate the event. On April 15, we sallied forth to Oswego. YVe sallied back with a moral victory and a boys' glee club award. 'Nuff said. Two weeks after our excursion, we successfully attempted our second concert. Luckily the signs of the depression were still missing and the enterprise was an all around success. During the one year of our organization, the different units of our club have appeared separately at a number of public functions. For the success of the Musical Club and of each unit of our organization, we heartily thank Professor Wagner, under whose capable supervision we have enjoyed a thoroughly profitable year. 431' Mixed Chorus One of the most popular organizations of the Musical Clubs is the Mixed Chorus. In addition to the members of the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs, this aggregation is composed of many students who are unable to belong to the glee clubs because of the arrangement of their schedules. The Mixed Chorus, although newly organized in September, has a membership of about one hundred and has taken part in all the concerts presented by the Musical Clubs this year. Some of the more popular selections are: The Lost Chord .........,. .,., S ullivan The Rosary ............. ....... N evin Comes At Times a Stillness . , . .... Woodward VVith Sheathed Swords ..,,. ....... C osta 1601 'l'llIi Flf l,'1'UNI,'XN Orchestra This year, thanks to Nlr. VVagner's able direction, we have a real orchestra. This thirty-six piece organization is not only prominent in school allairs, but is also very popular throughout the city. Besides supplying music for almost all the assembly programs this year and presenting some assemblies of its own, the orchestra has aided materially in numerous other programs at the High School under the auspices of various groups. lt has also furnished entertainment at many luncheons and dinners of the different clubs in the city. On December 4, 1931, the orchestra, in collaboration with the other musical clubs, presented a very successful concert in the lligh School audi- torium. 'lihe most important project this year was, of course, the blusical Festival at Oswego on April 15th. The orchestra had to be content with a moral victory and second place. lt is our sincere wish not only to act as a means of entertainment, but also to awaken in the student body of Fulton High School a real and lasting appreciation of good music. If we accomplish this, then we will feel that we are truly successful. lfmll 'I' II Ii I I' l.'l'0N I :X N lfirst Rowflf. blcblickle, NI. Biddlecomb, M. Arnold, I'l. Ives, M. Paddock, Mr. Whgner, Al.

Girls' Glee Club The Fulton High School Girls' Glee Club was organized on a new basis the fall of 1932. As the number of applicants for admission to this club was exceedingly large, the membership was limited to 36. It became, at its inception, atliliated with the Fulton High School musical clubs. :X very pleasant and successful year was the reward for the hard work done, not only by the members, but also by their untiring and most ellicient director, Mr. IVagner. The Girls' Glee Club made its initial public appearance in the high school auditorium, December 4, 1931 and won many, most pleasing comments. Later the same program was broadcast from the station VVSYR at Syracuse. The members of the Girls' Glee Club appreciate the splendid opportunity which the club has offered them by way of the excellent, supervised voice training, which lNIr. IVagner has given them. They feel that, in many cases, this training is but a stepping stone to greater musical achievements in the after-high school life. lbll 'I' II li If I' LION I .X N lfirst Row 'I'.

Hour The darkness of the night was relieved by sharp flashes of lightning, which were followed by deep rumbles of thunder. Suddenly the earth gaped open in a deep fissure, and a ghostlike figure, dressed in a costume of colonial days, stealthily crept forward. He advanced very slowly, peering about him in thedarkness to see that no one was observing him. VVhen the lightning played in long lines, the man darted behind a bush in this ghostly cemetery. Finally, between flashes of lightning he ran to the shelter of a weatherbeaten gray house, which stood near the burial ground. The house seemed unoccupied, so he entered. Groping his way to a queer looking machine standing in the corner, he wondered what it could be. He fumbled with the controls, and suddenly he heard an eerie voice saying: Station B. O. E. broadcasting the assembly programs from F.H.S. The man paused in astonishmentg Ray Guyer, master of ceremonies, was narrating the details of that glorious football assembly held in honor of the Oneida game. On the stage appeared the red and green football squad of nearly fifty members. Mr. Hackett, assistant coach, gave an interesting talk on football, and the problems of the players who had toiled in mud and sunshine. The inspiration of the team, Andy, next appealed to the students to give their support to their deserving squad, when they met on the field the next day. A lusty cheer, a merry song and with our Alma Mater, the pep assembly was ended. Another football assembly with Ray Guyer announcing. Fred Kane, Captain Matott, Anthony Botty, and Mr. Riley had come to bring terror to our hearts. Botty and Matott gave short speeches, and then Fred Kane gave a very clever speech which didn't scare us in the least. Mr. Macdonald then introduced Mr. Riley who read a poem to illustrate his idea of the annual clash of Fulton and Oswego, and the sportsmanship that accom- panied it. This annual classic was ended and the students went home, hoarse from cheering. A real treat to music lovers! Mr. Jurien Hookstrau, accompanied by hir. Smith, gave a concert of songs with unusual appeal to all. He rendered some of the songs he had sung when he paid us a visit the year before. He was very generous with his encores and he made many new friends. Bells! Bells! Bells! Merry Christmas 1-the old, old story of the heed- lessness ofyouth in its attitude toward old age-culminating in a realization of value of service to others. This was the play, f'Aunt Sabriny's Christmas, presented by the girls taking English 4. Book VVeek was illustrated by the dream of a student who hated to make out book reports. Meeting characters in dreams, he found they weren't so dull as he had thought. Joe Mehegan was the student, Esther Bowen, the teacher, and the various characters were students interested in Dramatics. Elmer Fry was a memorable Abraham Lincoln, and Helen Phillips, a sweet Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. Can you remember others? The thrills and delights of that next assembly! The Maker of Dreams i641 THE FULTONIAN revealed the sad fact that many of our ideals appear to be close to us but yet we do not realize the nearness of them. Pierrot, a young street singer, frantically searching the crowds for his ideal sweetheart, was paid a visit by the Maker of Dreams, and by his guiding hand he was led to a sweet maiden who fulfilled his happiness. This play is worthy of recognition because of the excellent interpretation of the characters and the pleasing personalities of Madeline Hunter, Virginia Wiley and Jean Anderson. Since the present broadcaster has become weary telling about our inspir- ing assemblies, we will now turn our microphone over to Mr. Macdonald. One Friday afternoon, as our minds began to grow dull with tiresome studies, we were led to the Auditorium where we heard one of the most interesting and humorous speakers of the year-none other than Arthur W. Evans, a noted Englishman. His topic was What America Means to Me. He showed us how America was constituted of people of every race, and how European immigrants helped America to become a world power. Next, we hear Mr. Ingis0n's authentic voice proclaiming a brief history of the nationwide progress of that ever-increasing organization, the Boy Scouts. A program was rendered by a few of the local scouts. Some of the main features were the exhibition of archery, given by William Wadsworth and Thornton Briggs, a piano solo by Richard Montague, and several other examples of their scout activities. The old story of a stubborn author who refuses to advertise his work, but depends on the ability of the book itself. Jasmine Dumaney, a friend of Frances Stewart, the author, solves her problem in Hlt Pays to Advertise. She hangs a huge placard on the author's back, advising the public to Join Jane. Humor is added to the play by John GriHith's attempting an im- personation of a hard boiled cop, who seizes Jane. Although it caused much humiliation, it proved successful. Would this play have sold the idea to some unsuccessful author or business man? The Teeth of the Gift Horse, another Dramatic Club presentation, portrayed the story of an elderly aunt, Gene Reynolds, who bestowed twin vases on her loving niece and nephew, Winona Webster and Raymond Guyer, only to have them donated to the rummage sale. When their aunt arrives to visit them, consternation reigns until a friend comes to the rescue and restores the vases. There were several other characters who added to the worthiness of the play. After a slight pause for station announcements, the announcer continued his resume of the Fulton High School assemblies. On a selected Friday a number of pupils, who had participated in the Prize-Speaking Contest consented to give their orations to the students. Arthur Gladman, with the poise and dignity of our hrst Constitutional Convention members, was master of ceremonies, and introduced each speaker who showed exceptional interpretation of his selections. For the concluding number, Seneca Short, a modern Romeo, and Norine Dann, a flippant Juliet, presented a short skit entitled In the Park. Found at last! The solution of the depression 6th and 7th periods. The l65l THE FULTONIAN absence of vitamin D! If parents wish to learn about this vitamin or any- thing in regard to their children's health, please consult Miss Marjorie Henderson. After adjusting the dials, the air was filled with static caused by the electrical devices from Ralph Morse's demonstration equipment. With the help of the audience he attempted not only to amuse the students but also to convey to us a bit of helpful knowledge concerning electricity. To the overwhelming joy of the teachers, the students filed to the audi- torium where they judged a debate on Unemployment Insurance. The Fulton Team taking the affirmative side of the question and the Norwich Team, the negative. In summing up the good points of each team, the judge concluded that Fulton excelled the Norwich Team. A Hash of lightning streaked vividly across the window, followed by a crackle of thunder. The radio roared with static, then suddenly became silent, and with a smile on his lips the old man slipped back into oblivion. fa Day and Night B y JOE SWIATLOVVSKI Blue is the sky above in the night, With little stars blinking, Owls and bats slinking across the night clouds. Dark is the earth below in the night, Where the world sleeps. Here and there creeps a prowler in the silent night. Gay is the sky above in the day, With hovering doves And birds of steel that streak across the skies. Gay is the earth below in the day, Where the world works, And children play happily in the streets Making this a busy place. l66l THE FULTONIAN Pep Meetings In addition to our regular assemblies, three pep meetings were held during football season. One of the most outstanding of these proved to be the gathering sponsored by the Student Council in honor of the Oneida game. Several of Fulton's alumni delivered fiery orations in defense of the red and green squad and exploited the efforts of these heroes, telling us how a little enthusiasm would encourage them to victory. Among these fervent orators we find the cognomens of Marion Coles, Margaret Snyder, Winfield Bogardus, Gene Sullivan and the coach. Songs, cheers and a snake dance through the main streets were features of the program. The meeting was concluded at the Plaza where the strains of our Alma Mater ascended to the vault of the heavens. Before the Watertown game, the first important game of the season, a demonstration of soap box orators was held in back of the high school. Half of the populace of the high school gathered around a huge bonfire Qheaven knows where they got the woodj and cheered and sang while the squad was holding last minute blackboard drills in Room 3. Mr. Pratt, Mahlon Freeman and other speakers hauled out of those assembled consented to test the value of their appeal. This meeting also included a snake dance downtown, where we aroused many of our citizens to enthusiasm and some to anger. Ah! Now the biggest thrill of them alll Mr. Palmer offered to arrange for a program to be held at the Quirk theatre before the Oswego game. The squad was guest of the management and attended in a body. Our orchestra was located on the stage, and, with their accompaniment, the students burst forth in many inspiring songs and cheers, while the more sedate audience applauded our youthful vigor. The Spirit of Notre Dame, dedicated to the greatest of coaches, the memorable Knute Rockne, certainly was an inspiration to the team and was enjoyed by all the students.

G. Clapp was the principal of the school, which occupied the top floor of the present Fairgrieve School. He was known far and wide as an unusually strict disciplinarian. Tardiness was unknown during his administration. If a pupil was in the building when the last bell rang, he was not considered tardy. On the black- board behind the rostrum was a column headed, Tardiness. Year after year no name appeared under the heading. As a reward, school was dis- missed at 2 :30 on Fridays. The rule was, that the tardiness of a girl would keep the girls there until 3 :30g and the tardiness of a boy, the boys. Need- less to say, a tardy boy or girl would not have been very popular. The story went that once a boy had been tardy and had been severely dealt with by the boys, who held him under the pump, which then stood on the south side of the building near the steps. At that time, we marched to and from classes to the music of a square piano, that was on the rostrum. Everyone had to keep step to the music. YVe marked time before we started to march. How Mr. Clapp could tell so very quickly from the front of the room those who were out of step in the back row was always a mystery. Such a person was kept after school. If anyone was out of step in the marching, he was punished by being made to march around the room alone after the others had entered the class rooms. One girl thus punished went round and round the assembly room one day to the strains of a song very popular at the time: They're after meg they're after me To capture me is everyone's desirefl Perhaps, the rule that made the most hard feeling and excitement was, that the boys and girls should not walk to school together. Expulsion was finally threatened if this rule was violated. I cannot remember if it was ever completely enforced. Would any of the members of our present high school call these the good old days? SUSAN P. GRAHAM -Q' VVould the high school student of 1932 like a glimpse of the school of 1883 ? We had no gymnasium, no Home Economics, no business course, no organized sports. VVe wrestled with Word Analysis, Grammar, and Rhet- oric. Instead of Biology, we had Physiology, Botany, and Zoology. Yet the students of today must admit that although the course would not meet the requirements of present standards, nevertheless, it provided them with some fairly creditable ancestors. l70l THE FULTONIAN VVe had no laboratory where the students could work out experiments in science. The front of the study hall was provided with benches that served instead of a classroom. Professor Boothby's Chemistry class occu- pied these benches one period each day and on experiment days the class faced an imposing array ofapparatus. The Professor performed the experiments with great gusto, and not only the class in Chemistry, but all those present in the study hall were expected to gaze in profound admiration at the wonders performed. As we had no auditorium, our commencements were held in the Stevens Opera House. For a few years the classes invited their friends to come and pay twenty-five cents each to see the graduating exercises. The admis- sion fee paid for the use of the opera house, but later the Board of Educa- tion was moved with pity and assumed this expense so the classes could invite their friends as guests. The class was not in evidence as the curtain rose. They were behind the wings awaiting their chance to march out upon the stage with all the con- fidence of youth and tell the audience in no uncertain terms how to settle all the weighty problems of the day. At the close of each address, a tiny girl ran from the wings and presented the speaker with a basket of flowers sent by admiring friends. Occasionally the tiny tot was a little late and the student spent some embarrassing mo- ments waiting for the expected tribute. We, the students of those days, rejoice in the wider opportunities open to our children in the modern high school: And yet, the first essential in edu- cation remains unchanged-the honest co-operation of teacher and pupil in an effort to develop the best in character in preparation for the largest usefulness.

His virtuous example of moral and physical cleanliness and also the memory of his many deeds of gallantry and valor have aroused in the youth of today a desire to imitate his uprightness and to duplicate his feats of courage and skill. Washington was tall and well built and carried himself with a graceful, commanding air. His chestnut-brown hair met a very high forehead, typical of a deep thinker. His most outstanding facial characteristics were his prominent nose and massive jaw, while his expression was habitually one of sober earnestness, unless he was under the stress of very strong emotion. William T. Peck of Providence, Rhode Island, describes Washington as being a heroic figure in his Continental uniform, but having the dignity and bearing of a king when at public receptions as President. George Washington is one of the greatest military geniuses this country has ever known. He took command of fourteen thousand undisciplined, undrilled, imperfectly organized militia and welded them into a powerful fighting machine comparable to the best armies of Europe. His surprise and capture of Trenton in the dead of Winter, with only a few starving, half- clothed soldiers at his back, and his skillful and strategic retreat from New York across New Jersey to the Delaware river are two examples of un- paralleled generalship. Washington was thoroughly democratic in his atti- tude toward his soldiers, sharing their hardships and personally leading them into battle. During his presidency, Washington showed keen foresight and judgment in building up the government from a Weak, powerless unit to a strong, elli- cient organization, capable of ruling the destinies of this republic. He gave his best years for his country and left its service only when, weak and aged, he felt sure of the success of this gigantic experiment in democracy. When freed, at last, from the cares and worries of public service, he immediately turned his attention to the development of his property at Mt. Vernon. His greatest delight, in his old age, was to ride over his estate, for he loved every bit of its hills, valleys, and rivers. Washington felt the greatest compassion and sympathy for the negro slaves, who had been made to serve the white race and who had become property of the white race through no fault of their own. In his will, Wash- ington stipulated that all his slaves should be made free at the death of his wife. Washington became a friend of all with whom he came in contact. His affectionate farewell to his officers is pictured by a famous artist as being heart-breaking and soul-stirring. He was greatly respected by everyone and is the only President of the United States who has ever been unanimously elected. l74l THE FULTONIAN Sol Bloom, Director of the George Washington Bicentennial Commis- sion, sums up the esteem of the American people for a great American in his article, Washington, the Business Man. He says, 'AWashington embodies in his character and achievements the spirit of the American that has made possible the expansion, development, and material progress of the United States. 4- Rips By Rosa GILLESPIE If you were asked what can make the calmest, most unruflled temper ig- nite, you would, without hesitation, undoubtedly respond, Rips. And no one would contradict you.- Rip ------- way down the whole length of your stocking. Isn't it provoking? No matter where or with whom you are, or what you are doing, the inevi- table is bound to happen-and especially to new stockingsl That explains why ankle socks were so popular last summer. And then there are shoe-strings. They always seem to have a knack of bursting in two at the most inopportune moment. Lucky, indeed, is the per- son who has never yet lost his temper because a broken shoe-string was the innocent cause of a broken appointment. He had better knock on woodl Then, while tranquilly poring over Chemistry or Latin in study hall, one is slightly surprised, as well as annoyed, to see a sleeve come cascading down from the shoulder of one's dress, for no apparent reason. This humiliating experience might easily be brought about by a tiny rip. In fact, rips are very often the cause of untold vexation or embarrassment. And, incidentally, Rips is the correct answer to Why Mothers Get Gray. 4- Death By ToM SHELDON I can see the black shadows near As death beckons to me. I can see the black shadows closing in- I wonder if I shall ever live again. l75l THE FULTONIAN Fate Georgia, bring my hot water. Yes, pa. The usual morning routine was progressing. Lately the old man was growing more and more feeble, more and more complaining. For six months, now, he had been confined to his rocker in the living room. Before the death of his wife, he had worked his farm lands as his neighbors did. Since that time, he had not done much along those lines. Some said that he was a bootlegger, others, that he was just a crook. At any rate, his business was carried on secretly, and, on most occasions, at night. It was now clearly evident that Frizby's business days were overg only their prohts remained. His home and his daughters were not receiving any of these. Rumors would have it that he kept his money in some distant bank, or that his treasure was hidden in his own home. One evening the old man called his daughters to his side. His heart was fast weakening. The money-upstairs-- Only in his dying moment did he mention his hoarded savings. On the morning following the burial of the old villain, one of his former henchmen dropped in for a chat. He alone had the knowledge of the whereabouts of the bootleg returns. You say he didn't leave any bank accounts? Then he probably has the whole amount hidden upstairs. But, we searched high and low and we can't find a trace of it. Perhaps it is in the old bed he used to sleep in. I suppose the mattress is still on it ? No, we burned the old bedding. Father used it for years and it was useless to us. 'if' A Monotonous Hum By JANET ASH '34 Seven rockers were busily rocking, seven needles were flying fast, seven tongues were constantly wagging, and fourteen eyes were ready to pop out of any of seven heads. One trim old maid, with a thousand wrinkles in her face, was talking about anti-wrinkle cream and how much it did for her. Another very prim lady with a high bone collar and gleaming spectacles was telling how the boys fell for her in her day and she also added, blush- ingly, that -many do now. All these old maids, contrary to their absurd ideas, prove to be very amiable when you know them. l76l THE FULTONIAN' Justice ? By ALFRED STANTON The swirling fog shut out the feeble gray light of early morning. lWoisture dripped from the twigs of straggling clumps of brush to the already soggy soil of the marsh. The characteristically dank odor of a swamp dominated the air. 1 There was a crash of underbrush and through the mist appeared the dim forms of two men. They were dressed in the conventional khaki of hunters and wore long hip boots, rolled down, which clumped noisily as they walked. The soft ground made squishy, sucking noises under their feet. Both carried rifles-one, under his armg the other, in his hand. The tall one spoke, I think it went over in that direction. Yes, but it's getting swampier through here. Do you think we'd better risk going on ? queried the other, who was short and thickset. Unnoticed by the other, a crafty look came into the face of the taller. You're not afraid to go on, are you ? he asked. No-o, replied the short man, but-.H But what ? Oh, nothing. The short man started off. Come on, he said. The tall man had stopped and lighted a cigarette. The other, turning to see what detained him, stopped, laid down his rifle and proceeded to light up himself. Crack! The rifle of the taller man spat fire. A small ugly hole appeared in the right temple of the little man, crimson trickled down his cheek. His body sank heavily to the ground, twitched slightly, then lay still. Warily the other approached: his rifle reloaded and ready. He stirred the body with his foot, then rolled it over on its back. The mouth hung loosely open, the eyes were glazing. The tall man laughed. The sound came dry and harsh. You'll never bother me again, he sneered. He bent over and laboriously lifted the inert body to his shoulders. Slowly he proceeded into the swamp, his heavy load causing him to stagger somewhat. With much effort he managed to half carry, half drag the body about a mile farther into the swamp. Bogs and quagmires began to appear. At the edge of a fairly large mire, he stopped and deposited his burden. Picking up a long stick of partially rotted wood, he sank it into the mud. It disappeared from sight. Satisfied, he threw in the dead man's rifle and then rolled in the lifeless body. He watched while the body sank slowly, the mud crept up over it and sucked it down. At last, no trace of it appeared and the surface of the mud was unbroken. The tall man smiled and turned to go back the way he had come. Some blood had dripped on his hunting coat, but blood on a hunter is no unusual sight. l77l THE FULTONIAN Relieved of his gruesome burden, he made better time than before. Yet, he did not seem to be getting out of the bog. Then suddenly, he realized- he was lost! Terror stricken, he hurried on, jumping over a shallow stream. He landed in the shallow water on the other side. His fleeting glance met what seemed to be a stick lying partially in the water. lt began to writhe toward him with dartlike rapidity. It was a snake! A water moccasin! The snake struck out at him while he stood paralyzed with fear. He dodged, slipped, and fell into the stream. He felt a sudden sting in his thigh. Frenziedly, he regained his feet and fumbled with his rifle. Instead of the expected report, came a metallic click. The immersion of the gun in water had made it of no use. He flung it at the head of the snake, now swimming swiftly downstream, but missed. On the bank, he fumbled in his pockets for his knife so that he might slit the flesh of his leg and suck out the venom. The knife was missing. Again he went through all his pockets in the hope that he might be mistaken. No- he remembered-he had left it in his other clothes. The small man had had a knifeg but the small man was buried under mud. lf only he could find his way to the car parked on the edge of the swampg there was a first aid kit in the pocket of the door. If he could only find his way out of the swamp! The smarting of his leg increased to a throbbing as he started to run. Panic seized him. How long could he last? He lurched forward through the swamp, not knowing that his exertions were hastening the circulation of the poison through his body. Where he was running he did not know, but he kept on in the hope that he was going in the right direction. Many times he stumbled and fell, to set out unwittingly upon a new course once he regained his feet. He knew he was hopelessly lost and yet refused to acknowledge it. Now the poison was taking effect. His thigh was swelling and movement became painfully diflicult. His senses were beginning to become dulled. Then he stumbled on a dim trail, barely distinguishable in the soil of the marsh. Which way should he go? He paused, uncertain, then turned left and plunged on-in the wrong direction. His failing senses did not permit him to realize his mistake even when he came to a rude log bridge over a large quagmire. He stumbled on the slippery logs, slipped and fell backward into the mire. His terrified scream reechoed through the swamp. The mud came up to his hips and slowly he sank deeper. His frenzied efforts to free himself resulted in his sinking faster. Now the mud was pressing on his chest and he was unable to move his legs. lt was up to his neck. He screamed again and again, mouthing curses. The mud came up to his ching it was in his mouth. He spat it out and screamed hoarsely, his heart frozen with fear. The scream broke, gurgled, then all was silent. The head disappeared l73l 4 K THE FULTONIAN beneath the mud and the surface was again smooth and unbroken. The mists continued to swirl but were now gradually lifting. This even-handed justice Commends th' ingredients of our poison'd chalice To our own lips. 'if- History By ARTHUR Joicn The intricacies of history have always been my bane. My answers never were correct and often caused much pain. The teacher took me oft' to task because I knew no dates, And told me that my hist'ry mark depended on the fates. The night before the regents test I studied diligently, And many things I then did learn, were entirely new to me. Washington crossed the Rapidan, in Fourteen Ninety-two, And drove the Germans from the Marne, what more could one man do? The Spaniards caused the Civil War, by blowing up the Maine, And Lindbergh swam across the sea to keep out of the rain. Abe Lincoln walked along Broadway, he stepped beneath an arch Ben Franklin put him 'on the spot' upon the Ides of March. Napoleon and General Lee, both ardent suitors were, To Cleopatra, Egypt's queen, their wealth they would proffer. Pershing was the leader bold, of Coxey's famous army. Paul Revere and General Grant both fought against the Chinee. To Brutus, Coolidge, and Charlemagne, Pat Henry once did say Death to treason I'd prefer, almost any day.' For General Braddock, Columbus rode, upon his trusty steed, Ten bullets through his head did pass but he gave them no heed.' All these things I then did learn, but what I still don't know Is how my mark upon that test, could ever be so low. l79l THE FULTONIAN Heavenly Lights By MARJORIE GWYNNE lt was full moon in the month of February. Twenty-one days had been necessary for Mr. Moon to gain his largest size, and now he reigned over the heavens and earthw-accompanied by his Lady with the Fan. It was seldom that the Lady was well enough to be seen by the whole world. This particular evening she was feeling very ill, so Mr. Moon had to tuck everyone into bed without the assistance of the Lady. Soon after midnight a winged messenger brought the heart-breaking news that the Lady had died suddenly. Overcome by grief, Mr. Moon found it necessary to slip quietly behind a Heecy cloud, so that the land below would not be Hooded by his tears. In the early part of the morning a beautiful chariot drawn by glittering stars glided through the sky and carried the Lady with the Fan to her final resting place. These heavenly hosts all left their reflections in the sky as they sailed along-never to return, and that is the cause of the millions of stars that twinkle every clear, bright evening. Dawn came as the last stars slipped over the horizon out of sight. Duty called and Mr. Moon found it necessary for him to appear the next evening. He was beginning to lose his fullness, and his features were gradually shrinking away. Soon he would join his Lady-at least for awhile. Tears fell from his eyes as he thought of his companion. The tears caught the reflection of his golden face and became shooting stars, carrying lNIr. Moon's love to his Lady. fe- School By MARJORIE BREWER, '34 f'Such a dry topicf' says the student. Such a peculiar subject for a student to choose, says the teacher. Yet, it is neither. It is not dry, it is not peculiar for many reasons which I, a school student, shall endeavor to explain. During this horrible period of depression, war and suffering, is it not true that the parents throughout this nation are somewhat comforted by the thoughts of the splendid education which their children are receiving? Is it not true, also, that the child is proud to know that because of this splendid education, depression and poverty will be unknown when manhood or Womanhood is reached? Scattered over this entire country are thousands of schools. Even the tiniest mountain village has its rude building, not beautiful in structural appearance, yet beautiful, indeed, in the qualities it upholds. Young men and young women throughout the land are blessed with l80l THE FULTONIAN golden opportunity. Skilled teachers of language, mathematics, and industrial arts await like servants the call of their student master. In another generation this nation should and will be occupied by a brilliant people, educated, cultured and ready for every next move. Is it correct, therefore, that the topic, School, is peculiar? Is it correctly called, dry? I, for one, do not think so. Ponder over it for a short time and l prophesy that your solution, too, will not be unusual. -if A Snowstorm By MAUDE FANNIN, '34 ' The trees, bowed under the weight of the snow which had fallen with such deceptive lightness, swayed dejectedly before sudden furious blasts of wind and snow. The landscape, which had been so drear the night before, was changed by the battle of the elements into a fairyland of white. The frost had etched pictures on my window, pictures of medimval castles and forests of icy trees. Although it had wrought havoc, the storm had transformed the gray, bleak, March world into a thing of beauty. It was as though a woman, gray and old before her time, had suddenly bloomed again in bridal robes of white. -181- Resolved: A Girl is a Better Student than a Boy fljirmalifve: LoU1s BRAULT Of the two, the girl and boy, I consider the female a better and more capable student. I do not make this statement carelessly or suddenly for, being a member of the opposite sex, I had to consult numerous statistics and collect bits of evidence to overcome my doubt. I found that the girls seem to obtain higher averages in their subjects and are looked upon, by persons of greater capability than I, as having a better sense of the duties of scholarship. Well, fellows, the truth is bound to appear and we must face it bravely with our feet planted firmly on the ground and a smile on our faces. Let these critics rave their discoveries. Bear it, boys! You still have a chance to do your best to overthrow this horror. Look at Edison, Lincoln, and others. Great men, they did it! Why can't we? l8ll THE FULTONIAN Intelligence is something born in women. They do not have to sweat and scowl over hard lessons. A girl can sit in school half under the inliuence of Morpheus Qmost of them have this disgusting habitj and yet clearly understand every utterance of the teacher and register an impression on her brain. Another cannot do this remarkable thing, but it is a simple matter for her to bury her nose in a book and study for hours at a time until she has succeeded in memorizing every passage written. Of course, there are a few exceptions. Some never learn a thing. But these sweet things are either related to or on friendly terms with their teachers, for their reports invariably show high grades. This is your alibi. Perhaps this is what you are saying, you females. I wrote it for no such purpose. I only mean to state the positive truth. I'm not exaggerating when I say, The truth hurts. Negative: HARRIET HoLL1NGswoRTH In my opinion, a boy is a much better student than a girl. The girls will not agree with me on my unusual conclusion, but the boys will flock around and gaze at me in wonder thinking, What an unusual girl! Isn't she wonderful? To think that she really appreciates us l Yes, that is what the boys want: someone to appreciate and flatter them. If only the teachers would do this, they would be amazed at their male students' sudden ambition to work. With a little unnecessary praise, a glance out of the corner of your eye will award you with a masculine chest expanding a little bit more, a head increasing in circumference, a grin slowly making itself evident upon his countenanceg and-you have made a lasting friend. Boys settle down to work easier than girls, for girls are really too sentimentally young and foolish. If there's a boy in the case, the girl's work just does not get done. Do you see this happening to boys? No,-they love to have girls thinking about them and writing them silly Hwishwashyn notes which they answer occasionally but more often think that the girls like he-men, who treat them mean. If boys do not write notes, they have more time to do their work. If a girl happens to get a chance to go shopping, riding with her boy friend-or somebody else's-, you will not find that young lady in school. School boys do not do this. They are either unaware of any girl's existenceg they haven't a car, they have a smooth teacher, or 'fthis depression is always a good excuse. After this discussion, I think that the girls havenlt a chance. Too bad, girls-try something else, Csomething more in your linej. l32l THE FULTONIAN Snow By THERESE CONNELLY Snow-gleaming white against the winter's night, Vast, cold, and lonesome, Pine trees, outlined stark against that bleak expanse, Shivering, as they keep Their silent rendezvous, on guard around my cabin. Snow-useless and cruel, Trapping souls-torturing them--killing them . . . snow! Wild winds, white drifts covering My garden where sunbeams used to playg Frozen bushes-drooping hedge-all my garden now! Snow-gleaming white upon my wintry lea, Beautiful,--cruel and kindlyg Snow-something like you and me. -41- Spring Moods By THEODORE SLIVA I love the season well When forest glades are full of bright forms, Not even dark or many-folded clouds can tell Of the coming on of storms. The softly warbled song Comes from the pleasant woods, and the colored wings Pass quickly in the brilliant sun that moves along The forests' openings. The vivid sunset fills The silver woods with light, the green slope throws lts shadows in the hollow of the hills, And the wide upland glows. -Q' Night Hours By MARY Boowicz Dreary are the night hours, That tick away long after the sun has gone to rest, When our mothers are waiting patiently For our returning home, after the blurring music Of a joy band has ceased. i831 THE FULTONIAN Kaleidoscope By MAUDE FANNIN A vase sitting on a shelf, A well worn book, a glowing fire Mean Home. Wild beasts stalking through a jungle, Men sitting around a camp-fire: This is adventure. Large cities and small towns, The march of progress, and a lonely farm All these constitute Life. -51' Snowbound By GENEVIEVE THOMAS The snow has been silently falling, Falling so soft and light It completely covers the highways With a coat of downy white. The wind is beginning to rise, And the snows are scattered afar As I stand on a bank of drifted snow, Looking for my car. I cannot find my Austin, I cry, as I stand, aghast, By a huge snowdrift on the highway Where my Austin choked its last. Now I'm waiting for the sunshine, Or else I hope for raing Then I can find my Austin And be on my way again. 431' I tried and tried and tried And tried to write a poem. The more I tried, the more I sighed Trying to write a poem. -DAVHJ Si-:ARLEs, '34 I84l THE FULTONIAN Invocation By ARTHUR Joicn Frigid Winter! Stand not upon the order of your going, But go, and take with you the Howling Wind, The Stinging Sleet, and others of your band. Gentle Spring! Make haste to give us token of your coming, Long has your heralded arrival been Awaited by this white and frozen land. Kindly Sun ! Bestow on us your health-conferring rays, Unfold those tight-closed buds of oak and maple And wake the vari-colored aster and timid violet. Pattering Rain! Send up tall spires of tender grass and golden timothy, , Arouse the slumbering leaf, the hidden moss, the spongy growth, And endow all Nature, exultantly, in robes of verdant grandeur. 4+ The Old Order Changeth By VIRGINIA WILEY VVhat know we Of famous bards and ancient poetry?

We offer a posy to Mr. Randall, who can find more dirt than we. . . . lt has been brought to our attention that a woman in Tennessee has lived more than eighty years, but has never seen an automobile. Dick Gardner tells us that he would probably live more than eighty years had he never seen one. . . . It would be a gross error not to mention science, and speaking of science, Mr. Wood to the front! It is an accepted fact that the Guillotine was the first dandruff remover. Prof. Wood advances the Room One cure fwhere you grow bald waiting to be dismissed.j Another of the latest scientific discoveries is the reason that hills are kept up in the air.

Tough luck for the boys who had to spend the entire Easter vacation in school, studying mathe- matics. l hope you all pull through. There is nothing like real concentrated effort to lick those old regents, is there, Mr. Bodley?

The only reason I dated her the other night was because some of the boys wanted to see her. Frank Guglielmo asked to meet the girl, and believe me he didn't look but once. If I ever brought her around again I'd get bounced sure. Aw, listen, Natalie you don't think I'm giving you a line, do you? VVhy, Natalie! You know very well that I didn't go upstairs once the whole evening. All we did was to sit down in the lounge and play games. She was deader than the old Thalian Club, and that's no joke. Come on, Natalie, give me a break, will you? I'd never take another girl out if you said Yes just once, and you know that. Go on, forget about Ellen Mason. She's out entirely. I never looked at her after that night. Ugghh--aren't you Natalie Baker? What? Ellen Mason! Well, don't get excited, sister. I'm not James Chubb either. I'm Frank Guglielmo calling for James Chubb. How about a date, Ellen? I've been trying to get one with you for about two weeks. Okay! See you at eight tomorrow night at the house.

Goombye pleeze, DENNY WEGNER I 92 l ' THE FULTONIAN Road Side Reverie Stranger things have happened on country roads than second hand cars breaking down. But this was the case recently out near Volney Center. Things went badly for Seneca Short, who at the time was courting Madeline Cuyler. Seneca, taking up driving as a way to beat his many rivals, was cruising the surrounding country with the fair Madeline and was having no little difficulty darting in and out of the many holes and pit-falls that frequented the far from improved country road. The picture complete-his Madeline, a country road, a car, and the sun smiling down upon them. We are doubtful as to say, fortunately or unfortunately but the smiling host played a mean trick on the pair. It hid behind a dark and threatening cloud and it was not long before little drops of rain fell upon the sandy road. To make matters worse the engine gave up the ghost. Captain Short gave orders to abandon the ship. No sooner said than done. The two ran a short distance and took shelter in a small building. It happened to be a blacksmith shop. It was dark there, and Seneca decided to make the most of the opportunity. A little billing and cooing followed. Being a wee bit shorter than the girl friend, Seneca decided to find something on which to stand. An anvil was the chosen object, and alas, it fitted the requirements to the tee. The shower soon ended and Madeline insisted on starting home. Seneca, inclined to be stubborn, wanted lovin'. About a mile or so down the road our lover asked for a kiss and was refused. Refraining from making a similar request until another mile was placed between them and the smithy, he again popped the question. Madeline said, UNO! and when I say NO, I mean NO I Walking a few hundred feet farther he asked again, this time receiving no answer at all. Whereupon Seneca exclaimed, Okey then, but I'll be darned if I'll carry this anvil a step farther. 'Q' Mr. Macdonald- So you're back in school. I thought that I expelled you last week. Ray Rogozinski-- You did, but don't do it again because my dad was plenty sore. '12-1' Gin - Aren't you getting Art and Ernie confused ? Marjorie- Yes, I get Ernie confused one night and Art the next. 'lil' Robert Case- Do you serve crab here ? Waiter- Certainly.
