OU Ph. Assoc. 1936-37 Photo

While searching on Ancestry.com I came across a group photo of the Oklahoma University (OU) Pharmacy Association that was a page of the OU yearbook for 1936-37. In that photo my Dad, Gene M McGill, was not in the photo, but his name was listed as a member of the OU Ph. A of 1936-37 (See photo on the left). Also on that list was Howard J. Schuhmacher. Some of you NW Oklahomans might remember Howard through his Schuhmacher Drugstore on the Westside of the downtown square in Alva, Woods, Oklahoma. What were Howard's wife and children's name?

The second photo on the right does have a photo with the same group, OU Ph. A., in the 1936-37 OU yearbook. Gene M McGill is on the fourth row, fourth from the left. You can not miss Gene's recognizable thin physique, with his hair combed straight back, and he is also sporting a thin mustache. There is no mistaking it as my Dad. I believe I could pick out that image of him instantly. Just like others who knew him.

When I found the first image on Ancestry.com, I wrote to the OU department connected with yearbooks to see if I could find more information and possibly an old 1936 and 1937 yearbook and gave them the time periods of when Gene attended the pharmacy school and graduated.

I did not find an old yearbook to purchase, but Bird Library at OU Health Sciences Center (HSC) did find, scanned and sent me an old photograph of my Dad, Gene M McGill.

In the Publication Centennial: A history of the University of Oklahoma College of Pharmacy 1893-1993, they found his name listed as receiving the Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in the year 1936-37. When they went to the yearbook for that year, The Sooner, 1937, there was a page of photographs of the seniors for that year, but Gene's photograph was not among them. They did find a group photograph of members of an organization, O.U. Ph. A., and its members where he photo was included.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
