1972 Rally Squad
As a senior I was happy to be a part of Rally Squad my final semester at WSU in the fall of 1972. A highlight was picking up then Governor Dan Evans at the airport in my 1948 International mail van with Rally Squad members crowding the inside. We drove right to the front of the CUB and dropped him off with the Evergreen reporters, cheering fans, and bigwigs welcoming him to our incredible university. In addition, that old “Firebird Green” truck carried members of the band, cheerleaders, and Rally Squad as we serpentined through Greek Row during pep rallies with music blaring, crowds chanting, and students gallivanting behind. Doesn’t get much better than that. Go Cougs!
