Caption: "Eighty-seven John Marshall High School economics students set out this week to find out just how many backaches there was in a bale of cotton. And, after three hours of picking cotton by hand at the Oklahoma State University experimental farm near NW 10 and Portland, most found plenty. H. Oliver Roberts, the teacher, said the "Cotton Pick-In" was held to give the Students "some idea of what wage earners faced before the machine age...Linda Woolery, a cute, red-haired junior who was lugging a cotton sack bigger than she was, said she was "already tired, and I've just been here 45 minutes." "I'm just supposed to pick to the end this row, and I can't even see that far," she said. Linday Woolery totes in on her shoulder."
