MOTTO “Not at the top but climbing” COLORS Maize and Blue FLOWER Yellow Rose HIGH SCHOOL SONG (Presented by Seniors) Lo, when a king comes forth in glory, Purple are his robes and gold; Gold is the sign of truth and honor, Purple is the sign of the bold. So hail, all hail, to the purple and the gold, To the grand old colors that stand for warriors bold Then cheer, all cheer, for the school we love so true, For though we wander far from Fayette High, Our thoughts will turn back to you.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Four years ago, in the first part of September Nineteen Hundred Seventeen, thirty one little green Freshies marched into the Fayette High Assembly Room and started their High School career amid the roar and din of the upper classmen. We have lessened in number somewhat since that time but there are yet twenty of us ready to graduate. Our class organized as all previous classes had done and started on our year’s work. But toward the end of our Freshman year we all came to the conclusion that for our ciass, at least, it took more than one year to develop a good cooperative spirit. This spirit has since been developed, however, for we have proven ourselves capable of working ogether on large tasks. We have always made a good showing in athletic activities, such as track, base ball and basket ball. Three of our boys, George Gleason, Rudolph Foglesong and George Crane have played on the varsity basket ball team for several seasons and Carlos Mohr substituted for the team. We have been successful during our Junior and Senior years in accomplishing several large undertakings. The first one was a banquet which we gave in honor of the Seniors of 1920. This banquet was the best of its kind that had been given in years. Another undertaking was the Lyceum Course given under our auspices which was the highest price course ever presented to the citizens of Fayette and Vicinity. Aside from this we have endeavored to help the promotion of anything which we thought was for the betterment of the High School and the High School Spirit. With these ideals in mind we nave finished our four years work. As a memorial to our dear Alma Mater we hand down to the future classes of the F. H. S. our noble record (?) as an example for them.
