Cadet band member Eileen Morency Eason

Description

Eason broke the gender barrier to become the first female member of the cadet band. However, by 1935, the band returned to its male- only status. Co-eds formed their own band in 1937; this band merged with the cadet band in 1946. The basketball pep band did not allow women members until 1973.
