MISS FOOTBALL, Ruth Henderson, smiles in victory. .L 'i TWO OF THE candidates pose in the dressing room be- fore the Friday night talent show in Holmberg Hall. K - it is beauty . . . OU is noted for its many beautiful girls, and perhaps this reputation was partially responsi- ble for bringing the 1964 Miss Football U.S.A. contest to Norman. Ten beauties representing colleges across the United States, plus Donna Axum, Miss America of 1964, and Tack Ging, star of ABC TV's Eleventh Hour, were on hand for the event. Ann Kent, OU junior, was the reigning Miss Football, one of three Oklahoma girls to have won the title. The girls endured a rigorous week of press conferences, television appearances, and lunch- eons before Ruth Henderson from the Univer- sity of South Carolina was crowned at the Fri- day night talent show. -.a-mia., V s swf ,. . - . . . ..,q,.

WITH A TUMBLING STREAM in the foreground, the administra- tion building at the Oklahoma exhibit malces a tranquil Fair scene. it is a -way of life. The 1965 Sooner is designed to be a record of the school year, but it is more than that. In the years to come, it will be a key that unlocks the door to forgotten memories of past friend- ships and adventures. Through its pictures and Words will be reflected the emotions and feelings of this memorable period in each stu- dentis life. And through these same pictures and words will be reflected a small bit of the spirit which motivates the students of OU. This is the same spirit which can be seen in the statue on the cover and on page threeg the spirit of unlimited desire to achieve that which has never been accomplished beforeg the spirit which compels men to reach for the stars, and to someday touch them. It is hoped that the 1965 Sooner has captured some of this spirit for the generations to come. gf. NOTHING IS QUITE as depressing as a poor test grade after hours and hours of endless studying, but . . . . . . there is always another chance, and spirits are soon soaring in the friendly campus environment af OU. -'ii 'A- Hi ia:-af If
