20 VICTORY BOOMER. 1919 GEORGE FRANK HOOPER George Frank Hooper came to our school in the fall of nineteen hundred and sixteen. His former home was in Sulphur, where he lived with his widowed mother and went to school. He came to Woodward to work his way though school by janitoring the school house. He soon endeared himself in the hearts of all who came in contact with him, and when he was called to leave there was a great sadness in those hearts, because such a friend cannot be replaced in this world. He was Editor-elect of the Northwest Wind and was President of the S. 0. S. Club. He was a member of the Y. M. C. A. and of the Christian Church. He was a companion, a friend, a classmate, and as such his attitude was always uplifting in the highest degree. He had a vein of wit and sarcasm which was never known to cut deep. He was logical and strong, yet he was meek and dared to do right. He was sympathetic and kind. He was an athlete and all round man and a Christian. He left his work and studies, his friends, his relatives, without one protest. He accomplished in his life of twenty-two years what millions of men have failed to accomplish in lives of almost any length. He gave his lile, his all, for those principles which he thought were right, that we, who are left, may enjoy the advantages of democracy and of equality. Although we owe him so much, we can pay nothing, because he has already gone from this world to fill that place which the Creator had reserved for him. We can pay nothing of this enormous debt. The best that we can do is to keep him fresh in our memories and profit by the strength of his character. So, to George Frank Hooper, our classmate, friend and companion, and to that spirit of right and justice which impelled him to the colors, this page of the 1919 Boomer is tenderly, affectionately dedicated. He is at the top of the list of Our Liberty Boys and his memory will always be part of our Alma Mater. Murray Holcomb, ’19-
