Hargreaves Hall was completed in 1940, ushering in the final phase of Eastern\u2019s growth as a fully-fledged college. During this decade, Eastern\u2019s homecoming traditions developed as well with the establishment of two quintessential elements, homecoming floats and the selection of a homecoming court.<\/p>\n

On October 31, 1941, Eastern crowned Queen Connie I as its first homecoming queen. Student president Doug Eustace presided over the coronation of Connie Frank, from Spokane. That year, Frank held sway over the parade and other homecoming events.

Homecoming and mascots go hand-in-hand. Both are intended to unite a campus community toward a common purpose.

From Savages to Eagles<\/b><\/p>\n

Eastern changed its nickname from Savages to Eagles in 1973. This change was influenced by numerous factors. The American Indian students at Eastern contacted a newly elected tribal council member for the Colville Confederated Tribes, Mel Tonasket and expressed their anger at Eastern\u2019s use of the Savage mascot. Tonasket connected with regional tribal leaders such as Alex Sherwood (Spokane Tribe of Indians) to assist the students in their advocacy. At the time, Mr. Tonasket was also serving as President of the National Congress of American Indians. Concerns among tribal leaders were compounded by a controversy over a brick walkway in front of the new physical education complex featuring caricatures of the Savage. Mr. Tonasket met with Eastern\u2019s president at the time and informed him that if the mascot was not changed, he would ensure the removal of every single American Indian\/Alaska Native student from Eastern. In 1972, the Board of Trustees announced the change effective in Fall 1973.<\/span><\/p>\n

Responses to this decision varied, from those in support to those wishing to do away with offensive representations associated with the mascot to those wanting no change at all. After an initial student body vote in favor of retaining the mascot, the Board ordered a second vote among three choices: Badgers, Eagles, and Lakers. In the Fall 1973, the Eagle era began.<\/span><\/p>\n","pull_quote":"","image":{"ID":2409,"id":2409,"title":"LD1747_E65E22_19671018_v18n03_001_Homecoming","filename":"LD1747_E65E22_19671018_v18n03_001_Homecoming.jpg","filesize":243660,"url":"https:\/\/www.ewu.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/LD1747_E65E22_19671018_v18n03_001_Homecoming.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.ewu.edu\/magazine\/news\/walk-through-the-decades\/ld1747_e65e22_19671018_v18n03_001_homecoming\/","alt":"old photo of homecoming tradition","author":"462","description":"","caption":"","name":"ld1747_e65e22_19671018_v18n03_001_homecoming","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2175,"date":"2023-10-18 22:22:07","modified":"2023-10-18 22:24:15","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.ewu.edu\/magazine\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":600,"height":600,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.ewu.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/LD1747_E65E22_19671018_v18n03_001_Homecoming-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/www.ewu.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/LD1747_E65E22_19671018_v18n03_001_Homecoming-300x300.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.ewu.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/LD1747_E65E22_19671018_v18n03_001_Homecoming.jpg","medium_large-width":600,"medium_large-height":600,"large":"https:\/\/www.ewu.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/LD1747_E65E22_19671018_v18n03_001_Homecoming.jpg","large-width":600,"large-height":600,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.ewu.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/LD1747_E65E22_19671018_v18n03_001_Homecoming.jpg","1536x1536-width":600,"1536x1536-height":600,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.ewu.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/LD1747_E65E22_19671018_v18n03_001_Homecoming.jpg","2048x2048-width":600,"2048x2048-height":600}},"caption":"Student as Savage crowning 1968 Homecoming Queen"},{"type":"image","text":"
