What is the history of the 'pennant'?

My recollection of a book I read once and found hysterical is that this tradition goes way, way back, to baseball in the 1880s. In a old, old book by a man named Richter called "History and Record of Base Ball" I distinctly remember reading that in the rules drawn up by one of the old baseball leagues, (it may have been the National Association of Base Ball Clubs) one of the decrees suggested something to the effect that part of the moneys collected by the league would go towards the purchasing of a championship "streamer", which was to be given to the club that won the championship and flown outside their home field for the next season. Whether or not this is the first record of a flag/pennant/streamer being used as an award for the best team, I'm not sure. It is a tough book to find but certainly a great one if you are interested in the game's history.

What is the history of Disneyland?

Briefly, Walt Disney was disappointed in the quality of the amusement parks of his day, because they were generally not very clean, and the employees were a somewhat unsavory lot. They were mostly for adult entertainment, and not good for families.

He wanted to develop a park that would be "the happiest place on earth" where parents and children could leave their worries behind and enter a fantasy world of fun.

With this in mind, he formed a company, hired designers, bought up acres and acres of farmland, and in 1955, opened the gates to the most magical land the world has ever seen.

To see a fully illustrated story of the history and development of Disneyland, type the name into your search box and have fun. It is a delightful journey.

What is the history of a Shillelagh?

a short walking stick with a thickened "T" shape at the top. supposedly used more in fighting than in walking but I've never seen an actual one in Ireland - only in souvenir shops! said to be named after the little village of the same name in county wicklow.

Often the sticks were made from blackthorn roots, a very dense wood, and had a fist size knob instead of a "t" shape. Or, any other dense wood such as oak. Unfortunately, eventually the English nearly wiped out the oak forests for their ship builing needs. The shillelagh (which can have numerous pronounciations) could be long like a walking stick or sometimes short and worn in the belt. In more ancient times they were carried for protection, or were used in ritual type fighting with definite rules of conduct based on certain honor or codes. Though not as formal, and usually not ending in death, think of the Japanese sword fighting and the formal honors and codes of contact in that type of battle.

What is the history of cheerleading?

Just as any anything else, cheerleading has quite a history behind it. In ancient times spectators cheered for runners in races held during the first ever Olympic Games in ancient Greece. In the 1860's students in Great Britain began cheering at competitive sporting events and soon the idea spread to the United States. At Princeton in New Jersey, in 1865 the first pep club was formed and they created the first-known cheer:

"Tah rah rah Tiger Tiger Tiger Sis sis sis Boom boom boom Aaaahhhhh! Princton! Princeton! Princeton!"(Kuch 9)

The history of organized cheerleading started in 1898. The University of Minnesota was having a pitiful football season. One fan decided to write a letter to the Ariel, "The Official Paper of The University of Minnesota," and complain. He wrote "Everyone's been crying, 'Keep up your spirits, and we will have a winning team bye and bye.' I say give us a winning team and our spirits will take care of themselves." (Froiland 13)

Everyone agreed that something had to be done and soon a meeting was called of all University of Minnesota students and faculty before the game with Madison Wisconsin. One of the University's professors presented a brilliant scientific thesis on fan support. He stated that the collective stimuli of several hundred students focused on sending positive energy in the team's direction would help the team win. The professor concluded with a rousing cry: "Go to Madison! Go to Madison! Apply the summation of stimuli!" (Froiland 13)

The game came and went, and the Gophers got killed 28-0. The cheer didn't work. It just didn't roll off of the tongue the right way. Something different had to be done to get the Gopher fans riled up. This is where Jack Campbell, a then first-year medical student, stepped in and he became the first ever cheerleader. Someone needs to lead the yells with organized cheering, he explained. And there needed to be variety, not just "He's all right" and "They're all right." So, the next game, Campbell led the crowd in a cheer that marked history:

"Rah Rah Rah! Ski-U-Mah Hoo-Rah Hoo-Rah! Varsity! Varsity! Minn-e-so-tah!" (Fecteau 18)

Thus, cheerleading in the United States was born.

Cheerleading, believe it or not, was dominated by men in its early years. However, when large numbers of young men went off to fight in World War II, the tables turned. More than 90 percent of cheerleaders were female from that point on. (Fecteau 18)

The evolution of cheerleading to a sport, again led by The University of Minnesota, started in the 1920's with the inclusion of gymnastics and tumbling routines. This helped cheerleaders to become known for their athletic ability. The 1930's brought on the growth of showmanship in cheerleading, and cheerleading became more entertaining to watch. Widespread use of the megaphone started in the 1900's and the famous pom pon was introduced in the 1950's by Lawrence Herkimer. (Fecteau 22)

Herkimer has done so much for cheerleading in the United States. He founded the National Cheerleading Association at Southern Methodist University after the holding of the first and second cheerleading clinics in 1946 and 1947. He also taught at the first cheerleading camp at Sam Houston College. The first year fifty two girls attended and by the next year the size of the camp had grown to 350. Herkimer had no idea that he would end up with 20,000 girls attending cheerleading camp in the summertime. Herkimer also was the inventor of a very popular cheerleading jump which was named "the herkie" after him. (Villarreal 18)

What is the history of asparagus?

By around 20,000 BC, asparagus was being eaten near Aswan in Egypt. It has been used as a vegetable and medicine, owing to its delicate flavour, diuretic properties, and more. It is pictured as an offering on an Egyptian frieze dating to 3000 BC. Still in ancient times, it was known in Syria and in Spain. Greeks and Romans ate it fresh when in season and dried the vegetable for use in winter; Romans would even freeze it high in the Alps, for the Feast of Epicurius. Emperor Augustus reserved the Asparagus Fleet for hauling the vegetable. There is a recipe for cooking asparagus in the oldest surviving book of recipes by Apicius in the third century AD. Ancient Greek physician Galen mentioned asparagus as a beneficial herb during the 2nd Century AD/CE, but lost popularity after the Roman empire ended. By 1469 asparagus was cultivated in French monasteries. Asparagus was introduced in England until 1538, and in Germany until 1542. France's Louis XIV had special greenhouses built for growing it. The finest texture and the strongest and yet delicate taste is in the tips, which were known as points d'amour or "love tips" for their supposed power as an aphrodisiac. Asparagus became available to the New World around 1850, in the United States.

What is the history of World War 1 in the US?

WWI was between the Tripple Alliance and the Tripple Entente. The Tripple Alliance consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy-who quickly became neutral and then switched sides-the ottoman empire was also with the alliance. The Tripple Entente consisted of Britain, France and Russia-US later joined but not until the end of the war and only because Germany began attacking US ships that were sending supplies to Britain and France-the US was dealing to both sides.

History of the war in the US-once Germany began attacking US ships and therefore killing US citizens most Americans wanted the US to join the war. The country had been making a lot of money from the war and did not want to get involved because of this. Eventually it did join the war. The country sent over soldiers that were right out of training "dough boys"-they were still raw, they were useless they did help the war effort but the US did not play as big of a part as it claimed. When the war was over the US took a quarter of Germany .

What is the history of radish?

Wild forms of the radish and its relatives, the mustards and turnip, can be found all over west Asia and Europe, suggesting that they were domesticated somewhere in that region. Radishes, onions, and garlic were paid as wages to the Ancient Egyptian laborers who built the pyramids.

The Chinese grew radishes as early as 700 B.C. and introduced them to Japan, where they are the most popular vegetable. The Greeks and Romans preferred their radishes big-up to 100 pounds each-grown for winter storage and served with honey and vinegar.

Radishes were not widely grown in Britain until Elizabethan times, when they were eaten as an appetizer. The early settlers took them to America where they ate them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Thomas Jefferson, an avid gardener, recorded his planting of radishes, along with broccoli, lettuce, and cauliflower on May 27, 1767.

Should i switch AP Biology to Anatomy Honors?

This truly depends on the school and career you strive to achieve entry into. For a non-medical path, AP Bio is a safe choice, as almost all universities require some form of a bio class. However, if you would like work towards a medical degree, Honors Anatomy is extremely necessary and will assist greatly when you enter college (as you will already be ahead on some of the content). Also, consider weather on not you would like to AP test for college credit. If inexpensive credit is necessary or attractive to you, then AP Bio would be the only way to achieve this, as Honors classes do not allow the same credit opportunity as AP classes. Overall, I would personally, choose to take AP Bio, as I have now taken both classes, and found the AP testing relatively simple for this class.
