Faver Junior Class of 1917

Junior Class History

(By Mary Horton.)

The month of September, 1914, should be remembered by every student of Faver High School. Verily, I say unto you it should be stamped in letters of gold on the brightest page of the history of our school. It is needless to give the reason to any thinking person, but for fear that some bigoted Senior or green Freshman should gaze in blank ignorance on the above statement, I shall say that it was during that month that the Junior class assumed the arduous task of raising the standard and spreading the fame of Faver High School.

The leaves had not yet changed their green for the red and brown of autumn, nor old Boreas replaced the balmy zephyrs of fall, when this precocious class cast aside their emerald hue and gave unmistakable evidence of possessing much gray matter. Although we were few in number, we were not lacking in enthusiam, in school spirit, in love for our work, nor in loyalty to dear old Faver. And we possessed that indefinable something that would cause even the most casual observer to pause for a second look and say to himself, "Behold these boys and girls; they are the boys and girls for me; their deeds will be mighty as the thunders of Jove and their accomplishments as numberless as the sands of the sea."

Near the close of the first year, we were saddened by the accidental death of George Brown, one of our most brilliant classmates. Later on our ranks were depleted by the withdrawal of Pritchard Doakes, Fred Stowers and Ethel Washington, two of them to work, and the third to enter school at Sapulpa where her parents had moved.

At the beginning of the second year we were glad to welcome into our ranks Jessie Smith, Winnie Andrews, and Hobart Chatman who have proved valuable assets to our class. Near the close of the year, we lost from our number Richard Williams. He was not only a valuable member of our class, but one of the best football players in school.

We shall ever have pleasant memories of this year, for in it we did our hardest work--the girls ranking as high as the boys in science and mathematics.

In our third year Stormer McClellan, Leontine Bertrand, and Woodie Ray enrolled with us, but Clarence Scott did not return and Frances Wade moved to Seattle, Washington, where she is now attending school. On the whole we have had a happy year, and we hope to be able to anchor safely in harbor with all of our present enrollment in 1918.
