The Tulsa Tribune From Delinquents to heroes
9/3/61
You will not believe what happened
today in Windrixville, Oklahoma!
Two teenagers heroically save little
kids in a church that somehow caught
fire. They went from delinquents; to
heroes in just one day. While
Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny Cade
are recovering in the hospital we had
interviews lined up with some
relatives and friends.
The first interview is with Ponyboy
Curtis. Pony, why did you save those
kids?
“Because, Deven it’s the right thing
to do, and it was fun saving those
kids, Me and Johnny were having the
time of our lives.” This is all we could
get from the young hero, because he
passed out after what happened.

brother, Sodapop Curtis.
This is what he had to say. I’m
mighty worried about Johnny and
Ponyboy but at the same time i’m so
proud because one second he’s a
runaway and next he’s a hero. Our
parents would be so proud.”
This is a Picture of the church when we arrived on scene.
Sadly, Darrel Curtis wouldn’t talk to
us. so then we started talking to
members of their gang. The first one
is Dallas Winston who has a thick
record with the law. we asked him
about the matter. “im worried about
johnny boy… if i hadn’t saved him,
he would’ve burned to death, but if
johnny dies, I don’t know what i’d
do.” that’s all we could get from him
room but some of his friends came to
visit. This is what the one known as
“twobit” Matthews had to say about
the incident, “I think it was mighty
nice of them to do such a thing, but
johnny always puts others before
himself. he should think of himself a
little bit. But Pony would’ve done the
same for him.”
though because he hastily left the
hospital a little later after leaving
