Just outside the Alumni Association office in the Oklahoma Memorial Union are display cases holding countless Sooner memories. Many yearbooks, photos, keepsakes, sports artifacts and various other pieces of OU history.
Today I'd like to share articles from a scrapbook that a Mrs. Norma Jeanne Brown Fredrickson kept during her years here. She attended the university from 1939 - 1941 and graduated with a BS degree in Applied Biology. Mrs. Fredrickson passed away in 2006 but her daughter, Marsha, sent this to us.
There are some obvious differences in what is shown below and what we see today, but what remains the same the traditions and sense of Sooner camaraderie. These types of pieces are priceless. We love to look back and we hope you enjoy it too!
