52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks - Week #21 theme - Yearbook

Since it's time to honor graduates, here are a few yearbook photos of family members found in the 1932 "Bronze Book" of Central State Teachers' College, Edmond, Oklahoma.  (Now the University of Central Oklahoma.)  My sister, Christy Griffin Thomas,  has possession of several of the yearbooks for that era.  She found these for us to post and there are MANY more to be sure.  Top to bottom:  My father, Dan Griffin of Edmond, OK. Member of Arena Club and formerly of the Men's Glee Club. Arena Club was a debating society, which also held an annual Barn Dance. Although my father and mother were in the same graduating class, he was 4 years older... taking alternate years to work and attend college. His specialty/ major was Industrial Arts and everyone took Education classes. 

Our mother, Bess Avera, of Oklahoma City, OK.  She had attended Okla. College for Women in Chickasha before transferring to Central. She was a member of YWCA, Glee Club (2nd Soprano) and a group called W. A. A. (could be Women's Athletic Association). After graduation, she worked as a book keeper for Bell Telephone in Oklahoma City. 

Below  is my dad's first cousin, Dorothy Mann, of Edmond. She was a teacher and librarian and eventually came back to the University of Central Oklahoma, where she
developed and chaired the library science program for teachers. 

We also found a page with my Dad's brother, Charles (Chick) Griffin at top, and Dad, Dan Griffin, at bottom.  Don't know who is the fellow in the middle.  This may have been on the membership page for the Arena Club. 

Just for fun, here is a page called Circus. They must have had a great time with this event for silliness and costumes. We don't see any familiar faces in this crowd but imagining the lively atmosphere on campus.
