1939 Ranger Yearbook

"I would very much like to have any info/pictures of ESTIL MURPHY. I believe he must have been a custodian. He was my grandfather's brother. Thanks for your time and trouble. I will check the other yearbooks on your site and maybe something will turn up.

Both my grandparents had roots in Alva, Lambert, Carmen, Dacoma area in the early 1900's. My grandpa was a Murphy and my grandma was a Day. She wrote a poem about the college burning and it was published in the Alva newspaper because I think she won a prize--maybe 2nd place. I do have my grandma's poem but will have to retype it -- I have the newspaper copy and it is getting pretty fragile. My mom had written in the margin 1930's. I think they must have had some sort of contest and she won a few dollars -- if memory serves me, placed second in the contest. Thanks a million for your time and trouble." -- Shirley Email: Swcooper39@aol.com
