The picture with flags and FDR also has a very young Warren \u201cButch Shearer\u201d seated at the desk. The question becomes, was he there as a student of the Class of 1936 or as a very young member of the faculty and lastly is the band playing \u201cHappy Days are Here Again\u201d?<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/dearoldwabash\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2008\/11\/PD-230_08-1930s.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1820\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/dearoldwabash\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2008\/11\/PD-230_08-1930s.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"374\" height=\"239\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/dearoldwabash\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2008\/11\/PD-230_09-Late-30s.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1821\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/dearoldwabash\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2008\/11\/PD-230_09-Late-30s.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"380\" height=\"232\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The last of this set of pictures is from the 1970\u2019s.
