Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "The Church of Tomorrow as viewed from heaven is just as unusual as when seen from the ground. Located at NW 36 and Walker, the nearly completed First Christian church is a real traffic stopper and tourist attraction. This aerial photo by Oklahoman photgrapher Jim Lucas gives an excellent idea of the scope of the project and pinpoints the location graphically. The street at upper right in NW 36, and running across the bottom of the photo is Walker. The big-domed structure is the church santuary, and next to it is the education building. The smallest of the trio is the fine arts building. Rising above them all near the fine arts building is the carillion tower. The huge parking lot will accommodate 400 cars and later will be doubled. At lower left is the Edgemer amphitheater."

"The VIVA. That's the Spanish spelling. It ought to be VIVE. The French spelling. We've had at least six people call it to our attention today." The painter was talking about the giant "French" scene being painted on the side of the Palace Arms Hotel, facing the Sun Suite pool of the Skirvin..."Funny thing about that misspelled word though," J.
