Throwback Thursday: Confetti and Streamers Edition
Each week we’ll be posting a photograph from University Archives that shows a scene from KU’s past. We’ve also scanned more than 34,500 images from KU’s University Archives and made them available online; be sure to check them out!
Happy New Year, Jayhawks! We don’t have any information about the context of this week’s photograph, but the students’ fun adornments definitely remind us of a New Year’s celebration.
A group, presumably of KU students, at a party, 1943-1944.
Note the bottles of soda, probably Coca Cola. University Archives Photos.
Call Number: RG 71/0 1943/1944 Prints: Student Activities (Photos).
