These are two yearbooks that were my father's. He was born in 1920 and graduated from Louisiana Tech in 1941. He got his degree in engineering and spent 4 years in the military (U.S. Army) during World War Two and 26 years controlling traffic as an air traffic controller (retired with 30 years govt service). I'm glad my dad saved these two year books and I'm equally glad they are in my possession today. Oh yea, click to enlarge the guys in pic #4. maybe not a "face-mask" ('cause there wasn't one, a face-mask that is) but it sure looks like a "personal foul" to the FACE. This is back when football was "for sure" a contact sport. Both of these guys had very sore necks after that game...
