I'm guessing from the plaid pants that this pic goes back to the '70s or '80s. Do you know who it is?

I need your help! I hope to put away some unidentified images this week. I'll post a new image every day for five days. Please make a comment if you can identify the individuals in the photos. We've identified twenty-two mystery images on the blog so far!

If the blackboard and keyboard are any indication, this guy had something to do with music.  Do you know who he is?

I can see this section of the roof of Jonsson-Rowland Science Center from my office window and the apparatus in this photo is no longer there.  Does anyone know what this apparatus was and how it was used?  When it was installed and/or removed?

This is a photo of an athletic team, but I'm not sure which one or when it was taken (1960s?).  I think it may be the tennis team, because I've seen the coach in other pictures.  Do you know?  Can you identify the coach or any of the team members?

If you're new to this blog, let me explain what the mystery images are all about.  We have a large photograph collection that contains images of RPI people, subjects and events.  When photographs arrive in the Archives from various sources, we file them into the collection.  This all works great -- when the photos are identified!  If the photos are not marked in any way, then it's up to me or other Archives staff to figure out who, what or when.  If we draw a blank, the photos go into a stack of "unidentified photos" until we get some helpful information.

The mystery of this image is not what is it or who is it, but when is it?    The photograph pictures a parking lot east of Blaw-Knox and north of the academic campus.  The location looks more like a military base than a college campus!  The paved area is only half the size of what is now referred to as the North Lot -- that's where I park every working day.

Once again, the individual and the apparatus are both mysteries to me.  If you know the info., please leave a comment!
