I found this pic researching early Ardmore images. This is the newstand in the Union Depot taken around 1920 in Ardmore. Check out the OU pennant hanging above the counter.

I'm glad the university went with the paper-clip OU instead of this one.

That looks like Oregon's logo. Have you come across any that would help on the project I told you about on Friday?

Where have you been finding said images?

Fellow historians want to know!

Homey you may no the answer to it or someone else may know. But I'm looking for the pics of the old game day books. Like the one's from the 50's and earlier. I want to find some images and blow them up for our game room.

Anyone know where to find them?

Anyone know where to find them?Go to the Western History Collection on the N. Oval. If they don't have them there, they can direct you to the right place.

Ah...1910.

Just one year short of the most miraculous time during the 20th century: the birth of the greatest combat handgun ever.

Try the men's room at Coaches in Norman. They might let you scan a few of the ones on the wall or something. If you ask nicely.
