Page Thirty Two M. 8 M. High School Superintendent Fulks Resigns tFrom Mt. Airy Messenger, October 24, 19231 Every stu- dent at M. 8a M. feels a d e e p sense of personal loss on ac- count of the departure of Supt. B. F. Fulks. M r . F u l k s was serving nh i s . fifth year as s u perinten- dent of the - T M a l t a-Mc- Connelsville schools, when he ac- cepted a splendid position in the Mansfield High School. The new position carries with it a handsome increase in salary and affords a fine opportunity for advancement. The numerous friends and admirers of Mr. Fulks wish him success and happiness in his new home, but at the same time they profoundly re- gret his leaving. B. F. Fulks came to McConnels- ville in the fall of 1919 to become superintendent of M. gl M. He brought to M. 8: M. his tremendous energy and his great organizing ability. His personality was so compelling that he put across everything he attempted. Until his duties as superinten- dent became too numerous for him to continue, Mr. Fulks coached our basketball teams. He built up teams which won victories from practically every High school in Southeastern Ohio, thus making M. Ka M. famous. Mr. Fulks made it possible for us to have a football team. Through his efforts in ath- letics, M. 8x M. is well known throughout the state. Last year at the Cambridge tournament, M. Sz M. received the sportsmanship trophy for having shown the best sportsmanship of all the schools represented at the tournament. Mr. Fulks and Mrs. Button or- ganized the Athenian and Adel- phian Literary Societies to provide literary training for the students. These societies have aided mate- rially in completing the education of the graduates of M. Ka M. During the administration of Mr. Fulks, M. 8a M. was admitted to membership in the North Cen- tral Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. This is a great distinction as only those schools which attain a very high standard in their curricula are members of this Association. M. 8z M. is in the Association with Zanesville, Cambridge, and other places much larger than this com- munity. This year Mr. Fulks organized the Journalism department. This department has published the high school paper which is issued each week. The publication is very val- uable as a means of promoting school spirit, and the training which the publishers receive will be of lasting benefit to them. While Mr. Fulks has gone from this community, our splendid rec- ord in athletics, our Literary Societies, our membership in the North Central Association of Sec- ondary Schools and Colleges, and our Journalism department remain as monuments to his genius for organization and administration. During the time Mr. Fulks was engaged in building up M. SL M. he was also building character. He inspired those young people with whom he came in contact with broad vision and high ideals. Countless students have gone to him for advice and encouragement which he gladly gave. He never failed to put new hope and energy into those who were disheartened. He was regarded by the students more as a friend and adviser than as a superintendent. Mr. Fulks has severed his offi- cial connection with this com- munity and has gone to a larger field of labor. His friends at M. KL M. pray that God may bless him and help him in the work which he will do.
