I believe the two in the photo are Alphas Donovan Stevens, Pleade Class of 1928 (left), and James Connell, Charter Member from 1925. Appears they may be standing in front of the original Alpha House which was on Marlboro Street and later became the Fletcher Funeral Home.
I was at a presentation Don Carle made several years ago at a Founder’s Day luncheon. He was saying what ended the football team was the NCAA’s decision not to allow freshmen to play. Since Keene Normal was a 3 year school, and often in the 3rd year the teacher’s were placed in a school, it would only allow sophmores and a few 3rd year students to play, and that just didn’t work.
