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.

Thank you!

Here is what our readers had to say:

A Tupperware party at HBS? So say MBA 1992 classmates Olaf Krohg (Section E) and Jamie Millar (B). Krohg writes, “I believe this was a Tupperware party conducted in Professor Len Schlesinger’s Service Management class for the Class of ’92. What the bags had to do with Tupperware is lost on me. After those in the front row were handed paper bags, the instructions were to put in the bag something you don’t need.” “In that context,” Millar adds, “the head in the bag gag is pretty funny. For a case study for Service Management, Tupperware execs held what was, as I recall, the largest-ever Tupperware party in Burden.” Our thanks to Peter Jacobstein, John Katzenberg, Michael Lee, Scott Vila (all Section B), and Barb Miller (E), who identified B-ers Lance Podell, Graham Lockett, and Millar in the top row. Jose Calderon, Dan Tenenbaum, and Will Muggia (all Section G) identified their sectionmate David Cowan in the front row, and Harry Atkins (H) recognized Lesley Kohn (G), also in the front row. Katzenberg recognized himself in the upper right corner.
