With the approach of the 100th anniversary of the Fillmore High School Alumni Association, I thought that a photo from the early 1940s would be interesting to the graduates. We believe this photo was taken after WWII began because of the number of men in uniform seated at the tables. Note the use of orange field boxes, boards and sawhorses used for seating and tables - a very common practice at the time. J.M Horton, Fillmore High School's first principal-1909, is seated towards the center of the photo.

The Board of Directors of the Fillmore Historical Museum congratulates the alumni on their anniversary. We hope that all graduates will be able to visit the museum, 340 Main St., where there are more photos and stories of Fillmore High School on display.

The Museum will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 15th.
