Varsity Rally Squad Photograph

Description
-
A photograph taken of the Varsity Rally Squad at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. This photo was located at the Heart of Oak '65 yearbook of Pacific University. This yearbook was created by Pacific students and faculty. The Varsity Rally Squad members included: Laurie Katagiri, Treasure Sullivan, Sheila Manus, Nancy Lovely, Ginny Ferber, and Paulette Owens. These student athletes were very involved with not only sports, but also extra curricular activities such as clubs.
These women participated in the athletic program when they supported the men's basketball and football games during competitions. There was not just a varsity group, but a junior varsity rally squad as well. This recognizes the fact that women's sports were now becoming more active and more women were becoming involved with athletics. This shows the progress of girls trying out to be part of the rally squad. There were two teams to potentially make.
The rally squad during 1965 are equivalent to what a cheerleader is. They support, rally, and cheer on Pacific University. These women had practices like every other sport did, and performed. The rally squad was not always at Pacific University for athletics unlike sports like basketball, tennis, and volleyball. It slowly grew into an activity that women wanted to try out for and be a part of. This photo is significant because it shows the support in women's athletics and including various forms of athletics to include at the collegiate level such as the rally squad.
