In class I told students about my father's family and their bowling activities. This photos in not of any of my relatives. Nonetheless, it does portray in real people the larger cultural phenomena of bowling leagues in the mid-20th century and does so in the town my relatives lived in.
In that discussion we failed to mention that when the previous student commons was built at St. Olaf (Ditman now), there was a bowling alley in the lower level. This photo is of those very lanes. Ask alums from the late 1960s through the early 1990s if they bowled there.
