Pictures of Kaydettes...before there were CAPERS

We are excited to have these pictures of the members on the Kaydettes from the University of Oklahoma, who started CAPERS!

From the 1964 OU Yearbook, the first group of Kaydettes.

First row:  Ann Ferrell, Peggy Lines, Jerre Francis, Marsha Dilley, S.J. Skinner (P/R)

Second row:  Patricia Harrison, Rosemary McGee, Dorinda Gill, Barbara Butterworth, Carolyn Prescott, Marita Jones,

Third row:  Sue Palmer, Lynette Elliott, Pamela Dreanan, Jackie Len, Kathleen O'Brian

From the 1965 OU Yearbook    This picture is the only known picture with pledges wearing pledge ribbons, which shows the continuity between Kaydettes and CAPERS.  In 1967, we had ribbons before we got our pledge pins with "C-P/R" on them.  I think we used them for later pledge classes, too.

Front row: Pat Mims, Gloria Faye Robinson, Rosemary McGee, Carolyn Prescott (although Carolyn was not in the picture the first year, she was one of the founders of Kaydettes), Harriet Ann Diamond, Loretta Sue Pillow

Second row:  Florence McCauley, Lou Dean Wettengel, Jeannie Strazier, Leslie Anderson, Tish Denison, Jacqueline Orr Price, Christina Louis Mast

Third row: Susan Smith, Cheryl White, Charlotte D. Haltom, Janet Kay Netherton, Dolores Marcotte, Tanya Lee (McDonald) Miller.

From the 1966 OU Yearbook

Front row:  CPT Dolores Marcotte, National Chief of Staff, CPT Jeanne Strozier, National PIO, LTC Marilyn Blythe, National Deputy Commander, COL Gloria Robinson, National Commander, CPT Cheryl White, National Adjutant, MAJ Tanya (McDonald) Miller, National Training

Second row:  Sandra Burks, Marquita C. Hall, Lee Anne Woodcock, CPT Sharon R. Richardson, National Supply, Marilyn J. Coskery, Kathy Ayres

Third row:  Carla L. Calori, Janeen White, Gail Brayton, Pat Lenova, Kathy Rankin, Delaine Green, Dottie Bowlby

Fourth row:  Marianne Wulf, Pat Lindhorn, Linda Cay Mills, Donna Usher, Nancy Jo Buland, Carolyn Clayton, Linda Brewer

The cords they are wearing, sure look like the cords we used later for pledge cords. Check out the 1969 yearbook picture and see what you think.

We hope to be getting the picture (and names) from the 1967 OU Yearbook in the near future.
