Female Pacific University Student Beth Potwin Dressed Like a Man for Clean-Up Day
Description
A photograph of a female Pacific University student dressed like a man, holding a rake for Clean-Up Day in 1917. The caption with the photograph identifies her as 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.
