As soon as I saw this I laughed too:

Harold Hyman and Frank Vandiver, both genuinely amused. It lifted my spirits.

Bonus: As several readers indicated, yesterday’s pole vaulter was Fred Hansen ’63 who confirmed it himself. Also, I got the sequence correct and he says he was still learning how to use the then-new fiberglass poles.

    Striped pants, a striped shirt and a patterned tie? I am guessing the date of the picture is about 1969 or 1970.

    Striped pants, a striped shirt and a patterned tie? I am guessing no Year wants to be associated with that photo.
