This one makes me laugh every time I look at it. It’s the bow ties. Anyway, these are freshmen, aka “slimes,” in 1938, undergoing some light to moderate hazing.
Where are they standing??
And here’s a bit of how the upperclassmen kept them occupied: 
"Scrubbing the deck."
Bonus photo: These guys have been hanging around the back door of the library recently.
Maybe the Owls are visiting to check on their namesake football team???…do they have tickets for the next home game???
Ghosts of Sammies past.
Besides the bow ties, how about the unmatched shoes on the girls?
