Sweetwater School Basket Ball Team
1923-24
Sweetwater, Beckham County, Oklahoma

This is the picture I have of my mom, Fay Stafford Ussery's school basketball team when she was a young girl.  Notice the trophies in front.  The girls are left to right: Lorrine Bodine, Fay Stafford, Ethel Walker, Goldie Housted, Nula Coffee, Myrtle Madden, Addie Roberson, May Ragsdale.  The teacher was Mr. Cornellis and the boys left to right are: Home Cherry, Amos coffee, Clarence Cherry, and Grant Holt.  I don't know what part the boys played unless they were the helpers.  I am just guessing the school year from knowledge of my mom's age.
