Title
Class of 1897 Llamarada
Description
The class of 1897’s yearbook includes a record of events from March 1896 to February 1897. The pages for October and November chronicle the various events that occurred during the mock election for the “suffrage question,” which was introduced at a meeting on October 14th and decided by vote on November 5th, the same day in which the general population cast their ballots. These pages also mention a Junior-Sophomore cake walk on October 22 with a racist theme, reflecting the normalization of these ideas within an overwhelmingly white administration and student body.
