Here's a photo from Cole Motor Sales archives. It's a 1960 Ford Falcon purchased by the Ohio Northern University athletic department. This was the first year the Falcon was introduced. That's a mean looking polar bear painted on the trunk.
Can an Icon viewer identify the three men in this photo?

The future occupation listed next to Karl Roider’s photo in the 1961 Ada High School Yearbook is “history professor.”
While many high school students divert from their initial career paths, Roider never wavered. After earning a bachelor’s degree from Yale University and a master’s and doctorate in European History from Stanford University, he became a history instructor at Louisiana State University. He stayed for 45 years, rising to full professor and dean of the College of Arts & Sciences before retiring in 2014.
