What’s Going on Here?

Who, what, where, when, and why….we’d appreciate any information that will help us identify what’s going on in this photograph plucked from the archives of Baker Library.

Please contact us at bulletin@hbs.edu, or HBS Alumni Bulletin, Teele Hall 361, Soldiers Field, Boston, MA 02163.

We’ll update you on what we have learned in the next issue. Thank you!

LAST ISSUE’S LAST LOOK: Our thanks to MBA ’55 classmates John Cave, Bob Orr, and Walt Pogue and John Eresian (MBA ’56), who identified all the members of Walt Pogue’s Dixieland Band: Pogue on drums, Ken Ackerman (MBA ’55) on banjo, and MBA ’56 classmates Larry McNichols on trombone, Vernon Johnson on clarinet, Jack Brown on trumpet, and John Eresian on piano. Eresian also recognizes his wife, Van Schlegel (Wellesley ’54), at left, with a scarf in her hair. Pogue recalls that the band charged $15 per gig and played in a variety of venues on and off campus, including during intermission at the Wellesley Senior Prom and for free on the top floor of Mellon, using a $35 piano lugged there with great effort. But the venue of this Halloween party remains unidentified.
