Pledge Class of 1952 Some Like it Hot – and some Don’t!

The photo at right, from circa November 1952, should bring memories back to some of our alumni. Torn Tatham 56’, who submitted the photo, explained: “These are the members of my pledge class undergoing one of our crazy pledge ordeals. The pledges had to fill their mouths with horrible, liquid concoction (if you don’t believe it’s brad, take a good  look at Sam Pardoe’s face as he bends over the pot and gets his first taste!) made of spices and other hot items. Then they had to run around to the back of the fraternity house And put out a bonfire – for what possible reason nobody knows!” Torn was able to identify all but one brother in this photo, the one bending over at left with his back to the camera. Can you help us out?
