July 4th, 1928 Boys Drill Team

It was the 4th July 1928 when these young Northwest Oklahoma Boys Drill Team posed on the northwest corner of Alva, Oklahoma's downtown square, at the intersection of Flynn and College Avenue. The boys drill team is facing northwest as we look southeast across the downtown square.

Notice the courthouse dome in the upper left corner above the treetops and the Bell Hotel in the upper right corner above the treetops. You can catch a slight glimpse of the Chamber building nestled in the tree-packed downtown park square on the rightside. Did you notice how they parked their vehicles in the middle of the wide streets?
