FRIDAY FUN FACT: In 1937, Oklahoman Sylvan Goldman invented the shopping cart. In 1954, he donated this original oil painting to WRHS. Notably, Will Rogers Jr. gave the dedication address. The portrait was done by Count Tamburini, a famed Italian painter known for his portraits of dignitaries. This was one of only two portraits that Will actually sat for (the other also by Tamburini). In 1997, this original was permanently donated to Gilcrease museum for proper preservation. Today, an excellent photographic reproduction is still on display at the southeast entrance of our alma mater.
