Throwback Thursday: Pass the Pancakes, Porter

The Wisconsin Union’s first director, Porter Butts, tries his hand at flapjack flipping at the Memorial Union’s Paul Bunyan Room Open House in 1950. We know Porter loved art, and judging from this flip, he looks like he’s cooking up a real breakfast masterpiece!
