Students at the annual Beanie Bounce dance a swing, surrounded by peers watching. Two of the most visible dancers wear beanies.
The Beanie Bounce was an annual event for Loyola freshmen and Mundelein students that began in 1949 and lasted until 1961. In the early years, Loyola students would hand their beanies to their partners at the end of the dance. In later years, the tradition changed and beanies were distributed before the dance. If Loyola students could find the Mundelein student holding onto their beanies, they could invite them to a dance.
