Election Results

This is one of the few pages detailing life at the University of Kansas that has any specific information. Class election results are posted. It also shows that the pictures in the scrapbook are not necessarily in order by date.

K.U., Mar. 46
Text of the results:
1. The following are the results of the election for V-5 Class Officers:
President: BURGESS, W. P., PT-6 (Bill Burgess)
Vice President: MC ILVAINE, W.R., PT-7 (Bill McIlvaine)
Sec-Treasurer: DE LAPP, J.K. PT-6 (Joe Delapp)

Boys will be boys, and the spooky flashlight picture is always fun.

A picture of Francis N. Duffey looking at something in his hand. He also appears to be having a bad hair day.

Here is a picture of two sailors in their "skivvies," one sitting on my dad's desk, the other standing next to it. Note the bathing beauty on the wall.

Appears to be Joe Delapp, newly elected Secretary-Treasurer.

Unidentified sailor.

I think this is a bit of trickery on Dad's part. It appears to be a double exposure of the same sailor.

Spring on Campus, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas

My dad, Francis N. Duffey, moved on to the University of Kansas in Lawrence in the spring of 1946. K.U. archives indicate that this was a period of transition for the NROTC on campus, which is not surprising with the end of WWII. Again, Dad has lots of pictures from this period, but very few have any notes on them. This first picture is one of the few that has names attached.


Back of picture: Henning, Delapp, Hampsch, & Duffey. First Sunday in Kansas.
Full names: Don Henning, Joe Delapp, George Hampsch, and Francis N. Duffey


No notes on picture. It is now the University of Kansas Natural History Museum.


No notes on picture. It's not my dad. It looks like Joe Delapp.



No notes on picture. My dad is crouching on the left.



No notes on picture. Appears to be the same building that has the porch the four sailors are standing on in the first picture of this set. It could be their residence.



No notes on picture. Two unidentified sailors.



No notes on picture. I'm thinking this was not Dad's house. Looks like a university president's house.
