TWO OKLAHOMA A&M COLLEGE YEARBOOKS - THE REDSKIN, 1952 AND 1953 VOLUME 44, STILLWATER, OKLAHOMA The fifth pair from this Stillwater yearbook consignment, both from the early 1950s while the school was still Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College. The 1953 volume is bound in cream-white textured leatherette with a molded crackle-grain surface, deep red raised lettering reading The REDSKIN 1953 across a diagonal band, and a spine reading The 1953 REDSKIN, OKLAHOMA A&M, VOLUME 44. The 1952 volume is bound in deep red embossed leatherette with an all-over swirled texture, silver-gray raised lettering reading the 1952 REDSKIN, and a molded mascot figure of a child in a feathered headband beating a hand drum, a period graphic that reflects the imagery of its era and the yearbook name the university has since retired. Both are thick, heavily photographic records of early-fifties campus life with class portrait sections, residence hall and organization pages, ROTC and athletics coverage, and candid photo features. The 1953 cream cover is stained and soiled, and both books show handling wear, all detailed below.
