Norman High School - Trail Yearbook (Norman, OK)

DEDICATION It is nothing new for Mr. J. Don Garrison to have The Trail dedicated to him. But this year there is a difference. It was through his directive genius in co-ordi- nating the work of Norman business men and of school and university officials that Owen Field at the University of Oklahoma was placed under floodlights in September of 1947. The football games of Norman High School have been played there before large crowds appreciative of the green field, the Gothic buildings shadowed in the background, and the autumn night sky. We wish to thank Mr. Garrison for this special gift to our school, and also for returning, after extensive military service, to the field of school administration and to the system in which he worked for sixteen years previously. We were glad to sec him again, not only as Colonel Gar- rison, but also as just Mr. Garrison. We respectfully and gratefullv dedicate the 1948 Trail to Mr. J. Don Garrison, superin- tendent of Norman public schools.

The installation of floodlights, giving twenty foot-candle visibility on the playing field, was begun by the contracting electric companies on September 9 and completed ten days later, in time for the switch to be thrown for the first game of the season: Norman 14, Sapulpa 0. To climax the speed of installation, exciting enough in itself, Norman’s halfback, Jack Lock- ett, scored the first two touchdowns. No matter how many future games arc played here, those touchdowns, the first ever made under lights on Owen Field, will remain a record thrill for Norman High School fans.
