Title
Pacific University Students Leaning on a Tree Dressed Up for Clean-Up Day
Description
A photograph of Pacific University students posing against a tree, dressed up for Clean-Up Day in 1917. Two female students are dressed like men. The male student is dressed like a hobo. The students are probably Sam Cox, Mamie Loomis and Beth Potwin. 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.
