Object Description

This black and white photograph was taken as part of the 1955 Eureka College Homecoming festivities. This Homecoming was exceptionally notable due to the visit of Ronald Reagan, who was working as a actor in Hollywood at the time. Reagan is one of Eureka College's most famous alumni as he attended the school between 1928-1932 before going to find success in California. 

This photograph shows Ronald Reagan greeting a group of people; two men dressed in suits and a young girl. Reagan, wearing a light colored suit, has his hand outstretched to shake the young girl's hand. The young girl wears a dark colored dress and has her hair curled. There are a few people standing in the background watching the scene unfold.
