Title
Female Pacific University Students Cross-Dressed for Clean-Up Day with Male Student Dressed as a Hobo
Description
A photograph of three Pacific University students dressed up for Clean-Up Day in 1917. Two are women dressed in men's clothing. The third is a man dressed as a hobo. The caption with the photograph identifies the students as Greta McIntyre Sheeley, Mamie Loomis and Sam Cox. Clean-Up Day was a long-held tradition at Pacific University. One day a year in late fall, students and staff would gather at Marsh Hall before repairing and beautifying the campus. Students would often dress as hobos, farmers or cross-dress. This picture appears in an album that was compiled by Greta McIntyre Sheeley, a 1920 Pacific University graduate.
