The innuendo is thick. When a yearbook editor juxtaposes photos like this, we do have to wonder whether it’s as deliberate as it looks. By the way, the Christian yearbooks invariably have the best innuendo. In general, the more private the college, the more homoerotic the photos. Military colleges also ooze with homoeroticism, obviously.
