Title	[Posture Parade, 1939]
Description	Typical of Posture Parades is this scene from the 1939 event. By that time the girls had discarded the bloomers for shorts, and all teams wore identical blouses, shorts, and caps, with emphasis on posture and marching skill. Skirts were adopted in 1940, but in 1947 the girls were back in shorts. The event reached its peak in 1940 under Leona Holbrook, who introduced merit ratings rather than "winners." The Posture Parade was abandoned during World War II, but thereafter it was held until 1949, when it was discontinued for five years. In 1955 it was replaced by Pep Clubs on Review, which continues to the present time. The new emphasis is on dancing skill and spectacular marching maneuvers in individual unit uniforms. The groups also participate in mass activities.
