This black and white photograph shows Ronald Reagan at Eureka College's Pep Rally. He sits on a stage flaked by at least three gentlemen. Reagan sits at center and is pulling his light colored jacket off of him. He is wearing a sweater vest, a white button-up shirt, and a black tie and pants. To the right of the photograph are two men sitting wearing suits; both engaging with the scene around them including a young woman at the front of the stage wearing a college sweatshirt with a large "E" on it and a skirt. Her mouth is open and she is cupping her hair giving the impression that she is putting on a performance for an audience. The man at the left of the photograph is wearing a suit as he sits back in his chair and his legs folded.
The identity of the people, exempting Reagan, is unknown at this time.
