A Line of Pacific University Students Dressed Up for Clean-Up Day

Description

A photograph of Pacific University students posing in a line on Clean-Up Day in 1917. Most are dressed up as hobos. The caption with the photo identifies Russell Morgan, Hershel Obye, Thayne Livesay, Thomas Fowler, Kenneth Irle, Glenn Jack and Lester Jones. 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.
