THE HISTUHU UF lUESTFULTOI1 HIGH SEHOUI. Rain. Overcast skies. And a band of students over four hundred strong trudging up a muddy hill. These students, on February 21, 1939, embarked upon their voyage on the sea of education at West Fulton High School. At the stern of our boat stood Captain E. P. Mcllwain, the former head of the Science Department at Fulton High School, and the first niatc, Miss Mary I.. Brooks, the former head of the Home Economics Department at North Fulton High. The crew consisted of fifteen loyal teachers. Here, too, promotions had been made. Mr. H. C. Hodges became head of the English Department, and Mr. C. R. Brown head of the Mathematics Department. Four hundred and forty-one passengers, all underclassmen, reported in that first year. Each one was awed by the 515S,000 structure, the first unit of which the county had recently completed. Since there were no seniors, every junior realized the importance of his rank, every junior was determined to uphold the standard set by the commanding officer. Time rolled on in endless waves. And with the tide of 1940 came a yet more de- termined student body, seven hundred and ten in number, including a senior class-the first ever to walk West Fulton,s decks. In this year came an addition of nine to the crew of teachers. With the development of our athletic department-the building of a stadium, and the organization of baseball, football, and basketball teams-our boys won a niche in the ocean of sports. Of the trophies we received, perhaps the one of which we were most proud was the N. G. I. C. Championship Award won by our '40 baseball Ieilffl. After various triumphs and defeats, the hour for the first graduation drew near. Then, on May 31, 1940, seventy-six students left the shelter of our vessel and entered into the tempestuous sea of life. September, 1940. One hundred and eight seniors replaced those who were graduated in the last term. The total enrollment was seven hundred and eighty-eight. A new year rolled in-1941. With it came the construction of more units on our building-the gymnasium, the auditorium, and additional classrooms-a result of the 1940 bond issue. But always the tide pushes us forward, and it is May-and graduation. Our voyage is ended. As we drop anchor, we pass along to those whom we leave behind a desire to keep burning the beam in the lighthouse of education. GLENNA MQRGAN. MARGARET ROPER. 7
