How many trophies could this group have earned?

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, June 29, 2016

How many Northwest Conference sports trophies might have been added to the Bulldog trophy case had girls intra-school athletics existed when this photo was taken.

No one will know because intra-school athletics for girls was not permitted in the 1960s.

This is the next best thing: the Ada High School Girls Athletic Association (GAA). In it, girls played competitively among themselves.

This photo is from the 1965-66 school year.

Lookin' good

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, June 28, 2016

Soon, the caboose in Ada Railroad Park will be back to its original color of deep red. TJ Painting is finishing the exterior painting, having repainted the inside earlier. The 1941 Pennsy rail car was placed in the park in 1989. Over the years, it faded to a rusty pink. The caboose is a main attraction in the park and photographed quite often. The lettering will be applied in the near future. Pennsy caboose #477779 will look as good as new. (Monty Siekerman photo)
