Making history talk, USC journalism professor Donald Woolley brings the attitudes and experiences of the 20th century to life through his oral history presentations. Since the early 1960s, Woolley has been organizing and adding to his collection of classic photos, for which he has gathered historical and background information. His presentation ranges from Lewis Hine's heartbreaking pictures of child labor to Bill Strode's study of artificial heart recipient William Schroeder. There is a Frenchman, crying as the Nazis occupy Paris; Babe Ruth, his back to the camera, acknowledging the cheers of the crowd as he retires from baseball; and five battle-weary marines raising the American flag on Iwo Jima. hallenge Vaughan and the band.

He edits these tapes to fit his presentation, bringing photos to life and adding to their credibility. "Very little work has been done on an oral history of photojournalism," Woolley said. "I've found in many cases that the photographer's story of how a picture came about adds immeasurably to the impact of the photograph itself." Woolley started organizing his collection to entertain his photojournalism classes. "I thought it would be more interesting for the students to hear the photographers rather than me," he said. He began to collect classical photos in 1958 after the Universi ty of Missouri commemorated its journalism school's 50th anniversary. He obtained 50 memorable news pictures as the foundation HHHk I' '. " u^^^SyS ^yragUKjwWiU arm Special 19?5 Cut & Style Included i JJ?.? a * - ? ? -- ?

"I've tried to get at least three a year since *58," he said. Woolley usually adds the three winning photos from the National Press Photo Association's Picture of the Year contest. But, he says, "Once in a while I throw in ones that I like ? a humorous or interesting one. I try to balance all the blood and corc with some humorous photos." One is the picture of a little boy who, following a truck painting stripes on the highway, rides his tricycle through the wet lines to crcate a continuous S-curve. Then there is the photo of a limp and bloody hand weakly reaching out of a shattered car window surrounded by Mamcs. The photograph is both frightening and gruesome. It soon loses its shocking effect, however, as the photographer's voice describes how he staged the photo for a 1950s Memorial Day newspaper advertisement, using a junkyard, bottles of ketchup and gasolinc-induced flames.

"I have more than 200 tapes, many of them running a half hour or more," he said. "In the next year, I plan to edit those I already have and do some additional interviews to go with recent photos that are already becoming classics." On sabbatical from the university this semester, Wooliey is organizing his photos and obtaining tapes for his presentation. He has recently discovered that the "k Smithsonian Institution has the taped interviews of photographers from his original 50 photos. Obtaining these tapes is the next thing on his agenda.
