When Hollister was a new town, there was not much to do ought at way, except hunting, fishing, floating & working. One escape was to ride out to the Maine Club... at Point Lookout, Missouri. There you could listen to music, have a nice dinner and socialized with out of town visitors (Springfield/St Louis). Here we see William Howard Johnson,his wife Elizabeth, one of their sons and Irene Johnson heading into the main club circa 1909 ~ William Woods "W.W." Johnson was taking the photo. This was located right on the bluffs across for the chapel on College of the Ozarks. The Keeter Center at College of the Ozarks is modeled after it. Johnson Family Collection See more

Remembering Bob Good January 2, 1927 September 20, 2020 Bob Good was the son of the legendary R.M. Doc and Lyta Davis Good. He grew up on campus experiencing the School’s many struggles during the Depression, graduated in 1944, and served his country during WWII. I’m privileged to have visited with him on several occasions during my archives career and heard numerous stories about his parents and life on campus. At 93, he may have been our oldest living graduate.

Friends, It’s been a privilege and honor to serve my alma mater for over 36 years. Thank you for your kind support of this page. Miss Laura Lane '79

Our famous fruitcakes are one of the longest traditions in our history. In 1973, the new two-tone gold design was introduced on the cover of the Ozark Visitor. This familiar tin was rebranded recently, upgraded to this attractive four-color design that includes the five-fold mission on the perimeter.
