More details : Date: November 7, 1972 Ticket: Richard Nixon (incumbent Republican) vs George McGovern (Democrat) Photo was front page of Indiana Gazette.

Edit: more details from my mom

“I rolled out of bed and threw on some old clothes because we didnt have classes that day”

“I was embarrassed that the photographer wanted to take my picture at 7 a.m. lol Yes. I voted for Nixon who had to resign 2 years later.”

Edit2: More context for people asking for it:

“Some guy from the halfway house in Penn Run saw my picture and wrote to me and the letter was delivered to my dorm!

My mom had a fit and called IUP to complain. Lol”

Great photo. The battered box and the youthful smile.

I am always curious as to how beautiful people aged since the picture was taken.
