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

THE FULTONIAN Prize-Speaking Contest Fulton High School held its first annual Junior-Senior Prize-Speaking Contest on March 15, 1932. 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
