__Operator of the Month, Gabriel Garcia, Feb. 22, 1988__ Readers may know *Raw File* is a huge fan of Flickr commons. With new [institutions](http://www.flickr.com/commons/institutions/) joining every month, it is not difficult to find new photo sets with which to fall in love. (Our eyeballs have enjoyed recent love affairs with the National Library of Scotland's "[Photographs of the South Side of Edinburgh](http://www.flickr.com/photos/nlscotland/sets/72157623961540499/)" and Fylkesarkivet's "[Lantern Slides of Norwegian Fjords](http://www.flickr.com/photos/fylkesarkiv/sets/72157619452763979/).") Last week, our promiscuity took us to the recently uploaded archives of the [Metro Transportation Library and Archive](http://www.flickr.com/photos/metrolibraryarchive/), and specifically its set "[Southern California Rapid Transit District (SCRTD) Operator of the Month](http://www.flickr.com/photos/metrolibraryarchive/sets/72157620992088511/)." This set takes us back to an era before Employee of the Month became known as a cheap play for morale from unfeeling corporate management. It wouldn't take long before movies and an upcoming generation of cynics would lampoon the tradition as a token gesture by the higher-ups to leverage ego for increased efficiency. But here we see some non-ironic pride and even more non-ironic facial hair. This, fellow readers, is what God had in mind when he invented the mustache. Enjoy.
