Lincoln Bust at NWOSU

The Lincoln Monument at the Normal School in Alva, Oklahoma, around July 1920 finds Bob & Gene McGill standing on Monument located just northeast of the Northwestern State Normal School's Science Hall.

This old photo had the date of July 1920 and the following message written on the back of the old photo, "at the end of school."

One of our sources told us that the bust of Abraham Lincoln was donated to the College by Frank Ingels, sculptor, who graduated from Northwestern State Teacher's College in 1915.

Notice that in this old photo taken sometime around 1920 that there is NO Herod Hall building in the picture. I am assuming that Gene McGill (right) is going on 6 years and Bob McGill (left) is 4 years.
