1960s Union Photo

In front of old Union.

Dennis, My wife and I both believe that I’m the student in the left front of the picture carry books in my right hand. I graduated (BSCE) in 1968. Based upon my stature and haircut, I believe this picture is from 1967 or 1968. Best regards, Jim Kubiak

Dennis – I don’t recognize anyone – I was there starting in 66 till 70. Looks like an unusual group – maybe a summer session – only three book bags evident. By the haircuts, I’d guess pre-Beatles. I enjoy the newsletter. Jim Carpenter ME 1970

In the picture I noticed that the males were clean cut, handsome ,well dressed,good physical shape,  heck anyone of the  males could have BEEN me.  Been is the operative word. Ha.

Hi Dennis,

I don’t recognize anyone in the photo, but I find it interesting that there is only one skirt in it. When I entered Tech in Fall of 1965 the ratio of men to women was 20 to 1! It appears that there are about 20 men in the photo and one woman (going up the stairs). The Coeds occupied the second floor at Wadsworth Hall.

The captions says the “Old Student Union”.  I think it was called the “New Student Union”.
Let’s see.  22 guys and 1 gal.  Yes, the 1960′s were like that.

Dennis,

Can’t say I recognize anyone, except the building itself. Yes, I remember it well.

You sure that is the 60s? And this is Michigan Tech??  Not a book bag in sight nor a slide rule!!!!
