Shoutout to the Bulldog Bark staff for finding this 1957 yearbook photo of senior Joe Gieck, the first All-State Athletic Training Aide from Altus!

He was chosen by J.H. "Doc" Johnson, Oklahoma A&M's head athletic trainer, to work with him during the 1957 Oklahoma All-State football and basketball games.
