It was a different time. No one worried about skin cancer, so, why not sunbathe on the metal stairwell outside of class?
Notice the T-shirt used as a pillow... measures must be taken to preserve comfort.
Smile! Someday, we might find out who you are and send this picture to your great-granddaughter!
Of course the tan should be even.
Here's Dad, with the sunbather hiding behind him! (Francis N. Duffey)
I think this is the same sailor that was sunbathing in the previous pictures. In his spare time he visited the "Dean James Woods Green Memorial" built to honor "Uncle Jimmy" Green in 1946. The statue stands in front of Lippincott Hall.
Elsewhere on campus, a tall sailor dwarfs a short officer. KU 1946

Another picture of my dad's residence while attending University of Kansas, 1946.
This is the uploaded scrapbook of Francis N. Duffey, recording his V-5 Naval training experiences at Gustavus Adolphus College (St. Peter, Minnesota), Iowa State University (Ames), and at the University of Kansas (Lawrence), from 1945 to 1946. " Eighty brand new Naval V-5 trainees, with visions of props and wings, began their military life at a little college in southern Minnesota -- Gustavus Adolphus. There were no airplanes, and the books could be rough, but it was a good life."
