October 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.

Dr. Samuel Goldman demonstrates the work of the IU School of Dentistry Clinic for two officers of the Delta Theta Tau sorority in 1953. The patient seems calm, but we’re sure each woman looking on is glad it’s not her turn in the chair. What’s on their minds? Better yet, what’s on the patient’s mind as the center of attention? Let us know your ideas! Enter your captions and you may win our Fabulous Prize!

 

Black and white photograph. Inside a clinic, a white male dentist with a receding hairline and glasses bends over a female patient, working on her teeth with a dental instrument. The patient is reclined in the chair with her mouth open. The scene is crowded by two women standing uncomfortably close to the patient's left side, peering directly into her mouth. Both observers are dressed formally in 1950s attire, wearing pearl chokers and hats. The woman closer to the patient wears a light suit and a hat. The woman on the far right wears a dark dress with a floral corsage and a striped hat.
