Only Memories Remain Amongst the Rubble...

Only memories remain of this northwest Oklahoma womens dorm (Oklahoma Hall) that once graced the northwest corner of 8th & Oklahoma Blvd. on Northwestern Oklahoma State University (a.k.a. NSN, NSTC, NSC, NWOSU). When you drive by this corner on the highway, no more will you be able to notice the entrance drive being used for community car washes held under the arched drive through. Nor dates picking up and bringing women back to their dorms. Those were the old days we will always remember in the back of our minds.

Cisterns, Header Barges & Other Memories...

Remember the "Berdie Smelker" sod/dugout photo last weekend? Did you happen to notice the above ground cistern and the wooden gutter that angled down from the back corner of the soddie's roof to the wooden barrel setting at the front corner gathering rain water? Charles Cook submitted that old photo some time back to the Waynoka Historical Society.
