Description
-
A photograph of a group of Pacific University students dressed up for Clean-Up Day in October, 1926. The students are holding rakes and brooms while posing in front of a truck that is parked on the campus lawn. Marsh Hall is visible in the background. 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. During the 1926 Clean-up Day, captains were assigned different portions of campus to clean. They were in charge of directing a crew to clean their designated area. Once the captain felt a worker had done his or her part, the worker was given a meal ticket. After the clean-up was completed a large meal was served in McCormick hall for all students that had received a ticket. This photograph appears in an album that was compiled by Edith Hansen McGill, a 1930 Pacific University graduate.
