✅ SOLVED Help ID 1929 Class Ring

[Ed-D]

Found in Denton, TX. Inside has 10k (yay me!). Face has a lion and the four corners of the face are letters. Looks to me like F A A S when read from UL -> UR -> LL -> LR.

The letter in the lower left is that hardest to tell what it is. It could be an A, but also resembles a 4. I doubt the lower two are 4 5, because the ring is dated "19" on the left and "29" on the right side, but I suppose it could be 4 5. The only other thing I though was maybe it is F A S and the lower left is just a non-letter shape.

Thanks for any help.

Wouldn't the lower left corner letter most likely be an H? F A High School.

Well, after an hour of research, I have come up with this so far. Forest Avenue High School Collection Forest Avenue High School. It wasn't on the list of all high schools in Texas, cause the name was changed :/ oh well, maybe this is it. I'll keep looking

I am now 99% certain it was Forest Avenue High School. Great find!

You know; I was sitting in church this morning and the thought came to me "you know, I bet that is an H" for FAHS. I just got home and checked your posts and sure enough I bet it is Forrest Ave HS. Thanks. NOw to see if I can get a class roster. The ring does have initials inside, so...

Thanks. I looked it up; the ring is a woman's ring and there is only one woman in the class with the initials. Zela Neal.

I've sent some emails to the Alumni Association and I also sent a message through Classmates.com to someone else with the same last name who graduated in 1950. I'm hoping they might be a relative. We'll see...
