In October of 1947, the Sigma Nu fraternity at CPS (UPS) hosted a Halloween costume party for fraternity members and their guests. The various revelers dressed up as angels, devils, ghosts and pirates. The distinguished fellow who seems to be dressed as a college professor was in fact Dr. Charles T. Battin, Professor of Economics and Chairman of the Social Studies Division. The couple behind him are Edwin G. Cook III (in sombrero) and, to the right next to ghost, Barbera Jean (Rojean) Knight. The pair married on December 31, 1947.
