Christmas as it was in Holdenville Twenty-five years ago. Reprinted from Holdenville Democrat, 1921 (Continued from Last Week) ...in the rear of the store, instead of seeing this old object, I see Phillips’ Racket store in its place. The John Marks building, where is it? Ah! The beautiful American state bank building now holds its place. Instead of the little frame building known as McShan’s hardware store I see the Farmers’ National bank building. I turn toward Dr. Way’s little frame drug store building but I see the beautiful First National bank building, later the Liberty state Bank, but now occupied by the Pever Kozy Korner confectionery. Across the street where the Henry Scales store building stood I see the present First National bank building, known as the McFarlin building, and the railroad commissary, where is it? I turn my thoughts once more down the street past the McShan hardware store looking for the Buchner hotel. That seemed to be a gathering place on evenings and Sunday afternoons for the young folks of the town. I see a solid block of beautiful business buildings known as the McShan block and as I search for the one particular spot where the old hotel stood I see D.F. Roberts and company dry goods store. I recall many pleasant times spent by the young folks at this place and especially do I recall the croq1uet yard at the side of the house where the young folks would congregate on Sunday afternoons to play and have a good time but they never failed to close their games, and go to the depot in time to see the train come in. We had so few amusements then for it must be remembered that the town was very small and in their eagerness for pleasure the youth grasped at many things and extracted from them much pleasure that our boys and girls would not see much pleasure in today.

Christmas as it was in Holdenville many years ago...Reprinted from Holdenville Democrat, 1921 Christmas will soon be here. As I see the beautifully decorated windows and the hurrying, scurrying crowds on our streets I cannot help but think of my first Christmas spent in Holdenville, twenty five years ago.

College enrollment more than doubled between 1970 and 2010, but dropped by 15 percent between 2010 and 2021. What does this mean for the high school student who is unsure about college? Imagine that you are a high school senior in the United States; it is a big year filled with big decisions.

There’s nothing bigger than football during Thanksgiving. Usually, it’s the guys getting another weekly fix with top-notch college games and a whole weekend of NFL games.

Ernest Hemingway Few people today know the name of one of the most remarkable Americans ever to live. She was an intrepid journalist, gifted writer, and popular TV personality. The New York Post once described her as “the most powerful female voice in America.” As a fearless crime reporter, she was involved in many high-profile investigations, including the famous Sam Sheppard murder trial and the JFK assassination. In November of 1965, she died mysteriously, but authorities refused to investigate. Her name was Dorothy Kilgallen.
