Haverford Cheerleaders in the 1940's

History Lesson: Haverford Cheerleaders

Cheerleading—of the all-male variety—has a venerable history at the College. According to The Record of the Class of 1948, the cheerleading squad had six men and the group’s captain was also charged with emceeing pep rallies, as well as the “fireworks-bonfire extravaganza before the Swarthmore game.”

The cheerleading corps went co-ed for a time in the late 1950s as Bryn Mawr students filled out the ranks. By the early 1960s, all the cheerleaders were women.
