  2. May Caption Contest

All are encouraged to enter captions to a photo in the Archives. The contest winner (as chosen by those sagacious heads at Caption Contest Central) will receive a Fabulous Prize.

I think that I shall never see a photo as lovely as…argyle socks. This months Caption Contest Photo shows campus workers relaxing, we presume, at lunchtime. One wrapped his sandwich in a copy of The Indianapolis News, one of our city’s papers of yesteryear. We found the issue and thereby dated the photo to December 1948. But our eyes fixated on the argyle socks worn by another young staffer. The mind boggles at the colorful complement to his dungarees and work shirt.

 

Black and white photograph. Three men, two younger and one older, sit on wooden chairs in a locker room. The young man on the far left is eating a hamburger and has a newspaper on his lap. The older man is sitting on the far right and has glasses and wearing a tie. His sleeves are rolled up to the elbow. He is looking into the camera and is holding up a mason jar filled with milk. Between them is the last young man, who has his legs crossed and is looking into the distance, away from the camera. Behind all of the men is a radiator and a window.
