1986

In case you can’t read it, the disc says, “Life Before Plastic*”

What do you think the asterisk is for?

1947-48

I think maybe “dance” meant something different then than it does now.

1950-51

1928-29

Top to bottom, left to right: Pool table, lounge with leather furniture and chandelier, basketball court, swimming pool, bowling alley.

Seems just like a gymnasium.

1992-93

Delta delta delta delta delta delta delta delta delta;

can we help ya help ya help ya help ya help ya help ya help ya help ya help ya?

1936-37

One word: Wallpaper.

1968-69

69_peace

Those 60s radicals — always wearing their politics on their sleeves.

1920-21

You know why they’re smiling, don’t you?

Because it’s not 90 degrees out.

1949-50

Hey, guys? I know you’re all excited about the first anniversary of Alpha Phi Omega, and we are, too.

But you will want to blow out and probably remove that candle before you cut the cake it’s sitting on.

2005-06

What exactly is the world coming to when a rural college that originally gave educational opportunities that helped young women get off the farm brings fake dairy cows onto campus to be milked for entertainment?

1976-77

kronicle_1977_p105.jpg

Look at it however you want; it’s still The Gong Show.

Hapgoodness

The latest diversion on the minds of certain Centennial bloggers is one Charles Hapgood.

Commenters, remember him?

Who has good stories?

1981-82

No joke: This is a photo of a then-new group on campus called “A Woman’s Point of View.”

If the photo editor of the 1982 Kronicle is out there, would you care to discuss the fact that your representation of a woman’s point of view features women lying on the floor?

1948-49

Nothing says “romance” quite like a teepee in the gym.

1934-35

Just like any standard modern-day student’s room. You know, with a breakfast table. And oriental rug.

1990-91

Keene’s answer to:

  • Wham!?
  • Jesus and Mary Chain?
  • Depeche Mode?
  • Some other band that continues to elude us?

You be the judge. C’mon, WKNH alums. This is all you.

1957

rebellion1957_g4_f37.jpg

Happy reunion weekend, everyone. Keep the rioting to a minimum.

1963-64

Poor Gail.

1971-72

Kids these days don’t know how easy they have it. In my day, we slept on beds of nails.

1930

The “men” must all be elsewhere.

1944

This is presumably a war effort. Shining shoes just to sell stamps otherwise seems like an awful lot of effort.

Arguably retro pricing

Click here for fabulous KSC Centennial-themed merchandise!

OK, so far, it’s just T-shirts (only $7!). But there’s more coming soon. You’ll want to watch that space.

1977

kronicle_1977_p18.jpg

OK, the striped socks are funny and eye-catching.

But that is an ashtray in the library.

1926

kronicle_1926_p93.jpg

The ladies from Manchester tackle Gilbert and Sullivan, perhaps.

Um…?

unknown_pickets021108.jpg

This isn’t to our usual “Um…?” standards, as we can clearly tell that these folks are picketing. We believe they’re faculty. But repeated attempts to identify the folks in the picture, or their cause, or the year, have failed. Can you help? Is it about facial hair?

1984

kronicle_1984_p195.jpg

Congratulations, Class of 2008.

1964-65

kronicle_1965_p47.jpg

Another great moment in yearbook wit, with no snarky help needed.

Really Simple, part 2

kronicle_1984_p84.jpg

A little while back, we told you how to subscribe to this blog by e-mail. We also told you we’d let you know how to view all of the blogs or frequently updated sites you like in one convenient location.

We tried and tried to come up with a simple explanation, but decided we could do no better than this piece of excellence from Common Craft:

Click the “Play” triangle for an introduction to RSS. Not quite simple enough? That’s OK, at least now you know what your questions are. Ask away in the comments.

1955-56

kronicle_1956_p120.jpg

A few years’ yearbook staffs (mostly from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s) took the snarky comments right out of our mouths. We’ve got a little stash saved up for rainy days like this one.

2002-03

kronicle_2003_p73.jpg

Nothing wrong with a little good clean fun.
