Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Oklahoma City really isn't a "club minded" town, says George Rupe, a man who ought to know. He's manager of Lake View Country club, NW 63 and Portland. Before moving to Lake View in July he'd been with the Beacon Club and the Oklahoma Club…….The dream belonged origanlly to the late Frank Wilton Jones, attorney, president of a man's club that wanted its own building. The idea blossomed into meetings in 1953 to see what could be done about it. In the card room at Lake View hangs a picture of the original 20 who underwrote a modest stock subscription. Among them were Jones, Henry Benedict, Harry Schwartz and Keith Harris, who is now club president,...Construction on Lake View's 25-acre site started in 1955 and the facilities opened for use in September the next year.......""This is one of the finest clubs around," says the Lake View Manager. "Of all our assets, we're proudest of the people who make up the club."

This Tudor-style clubhouse is part of a Nichols Hill property with a conservatively estimated value of $4 million, including a fine golf course and bigger than Olympic-size swimming pool. The club has 80 regular employes and up to 100 during the summer season."

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Founding fathers of Hillcrest Country Club had a membership mainly from Capitol Hill in mind when they started organizing in 1952. But they must have underestimated the scope of their club's appeal, for nearly a fourth of Hillcrest's stock members have north side addresses. This is the payoff from what club president Melvin W. Jones, insurance man describes as "a good well-balanced program around which a family can plan all its recreation."This family appeal has been Hillcrest cornerstone right from the start, says Jones, a former Oklahoma State University professor....Manager Jerry Corsi, one-time University of Colorado gridder, admits it taxes his ingenuity to keep the schedule booked with things new and different...Hillcrest's location at 6501 Country Club Drive also helps make it a popular spot for Capitol Hill businessmen's luncheon appointments. There are 615 members, a number of them from the Federal Aviation Agency center, with 250 owning stock. A share in Hillcrest these days sells for about $480, when avaibable. Dues are $24.40 a month...The 18-hole course has an adjacent driving range and a putting clock. the swimming pool is "near Olympic size." Parking space was doubled several …

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Twin Hills was strictly stag when it got its start as a private golf club back in the 1920s. But as founder Dorset Carter sr. once explained, "We finally had to give in to the women." It's a good thing, too, today's Twin Hills members might say, for as manager John Atwood points out, the country club's families count some 1,200 children among them. "This is strictly a family club," Atwood can now declare with ample reason......"It's an improvement program, to bring the club more up-to-date, rather than an expansion," explains the president, R. L. McCormick, Oklahoma Paper Co. executive......Twin Hills also has about 140 social members. there are 50 doctors on the club roster, plus a big representation of the city's lawyers, as well as businessmen. Members pay dues of $27.45 a month. (section that goes under the photo: The Twin Hills clubhouse is cramped and due remodeling, but members of the northeast Oklahoma City country club are proud of their golf course, called the best in the state by some experts, and of their well-appointed swimming pool.

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Downtown merchants generally are outwardly calm, but in many cases are individually resentful at the "lack of discrimination" shown by Negroes who Monday started a boycott of downtown stores. None would talk for the publiccation. And no merchant, either publicly or privetly, would hazard a guess on what the eventual effect of the boycott may be on business. Hurt Cause? But, privetly, one businessman declared Negro leaders "may be hurting their own cause by their seeming inability to face up the to the facts."...Major fear in some business quarters is that all downtown business is that all downtown business may suffer from customers both white and Negro might, staying away because of the possibility of trouble. (photot tag: Boycott pickets head for the downtown area.)"
