During a football season 100 years ago, the term “Rangers” was first used to name sports teams at Northwestern Oklahoma State University, known then as Northwestern Normal School.

To celebrate the centennial anniversary of the school mascot, the homecoming committee at Northwestern has selected “A Century of Ranger Pride” as the theme for the 2009 celebration. The theme must be used by any club or organization entering the float, spirit sheet sign and dorm decoration contests.
