This page, folks, features a number of choice items from a remarkable collec- tion of pictures made under the direc- tion of The Oak Leaf’s cameraman, Joe L. Woody, on Armistice Day, 1938, when the John Tarleton Agricultural Colleze Plowboys invaded Weat?:erford by special train to seek revenge on the team which wrested from them the 1937 Conference championship. You can see it was a great day, and you can see also in this photomontage the Weather- ford College student body, on the march and at the station, the Tarleton train and cadet corps, its crack drill squad, our own Jayne Russell and her Weatherford Band which made things as interesting between halves as Red O’Neal and his teammates, shown here in action, did during the game. Charies Forbes is seen as yell leader, and the three girls leading the parade at the bottom of the page are Dorothy Ward, Mildred Bruce, and Charlsie Bradshaw, close backed by Hearn Pritchard. Almost everybody’s on this page somewhere; where are you?
