Then and Now: Marathon Monday

Then: Wellesley students have cheered runners since the first Boston Marathon in 1897, but the Scream Tunnel really came into its own in the 1970s—when women were allowed to compete in the race.

Now: Students still cheer (really loud). They also organize sign making, and take requests via Facebook and Twitter. Search for the Scream Tunnel on YouTube if you want to be deafened!
