Description
Tailflappers, junior and senior men's rooting section, is organized to promote spirit and good sportsmanship at athletic events. The dress for members is white cords and white shirts with tails out. Black and orange rooter lids are colorfully spun on fingertips during songs and chants and go high in the air when the Beavers take the lead. The Tailflapper yell leaders and frolicking "Benny Beaver" provide crowd-pleasing stunts and entertainment, as well as keeping a critical eye on the opposing team and the officials. Image was published on page 91 of the 1961 Beaver yearbook.
