The Story Behind the Photo

The Story Behind the Photo

Dorothy Kelley Green ’59, Chester Story ’59, Marilyn Slate McKnight ’53, and John Storey ’70 wrote that this photo was likely from the late 1950s and though many faces were familiar, a few brought particular memories. Dorothy and Chester recognized Elmer Flaccus at the front of the line, who Chester said “brought many phases of history to life for all of us.” Marilyn identified Cecil McLaughlin next in line. Dorothy recognized, fifth from left, Professor “Tee-Hee” Miller, who taught a course on the Romantic poets. “She had a little laugh when the content of poems was even remotely suggestive of sex and a becoming blush seldom seen today,” Dorothy wrote. Marilyn thought the same person might be Margaret Miller? Several recognized, eighth and near the end of those pictured, Dr. Clyde Hall who taught “slide rule” and who “never changes.” John identified his father, James Storey to the left of Hall. John wrote that his family lived a block from campus until John was age 12; he later returned to the college as a student.
