Title
"Fun in the Sun" photo spread, Anaga, 2006
Description
Two pages of photographs in the yearbook show springtime activities across the quad in 2006. People featured include: Bobby Bishop, Kristi Daniel, Phil Faber, Lisa Huberman, Katie Jankowske, Elizabeth Koprucki, Aaron Reisberg, Kevin Stein, Megan VanDeVelde, and ten others who remain unidentified. (Let us know if you recognize someone.) This would be the last year for an official yearbook. Bradley's yearbooks were called The Polyscope from 1901 to 1949 and then Anaga from 1950 to 2006. According to the 1950 yearbook, "Anaga" was a word selected by a panel of judges because they thought it was an "Indian name" meaning "place on a hilltop"—just another part of the university's troubled record of insensitivity in its appropriation of Native culture and imagery. That history is documented in the yearbooks alongside a myriad of other aspects of life on campus. The end of the yearbook might be connected to new efforts to constructively reckon with that legacy but also represented a loss for efforts to preserve a record of the life of the community.
