Description: According to the 1957 Badger yearbook, the first women cheerleaders appeared on Dad's Day, October 20, 1956. (Wisconsin 6, Purdue 6) A letter from former cheerleaders from 1986, however, states that officially sanctioned women cheerleaders first appeared on campus in the fall of 1952 (4 women had done a routine at Homecoming 1951, but they were not official cheerleaders). Coed cheerleaders were abolished in the spring of 1954 then reintroduced in 1956. UW Digital Collections
