Colgate 1959

Colgate at Princeton
October 17th, 1959
Princeton wins 42-7
​

Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band salutes the Big K, Mike Kopliner and his proctorial staff.

“Billboard March” (Band marches out in a ‘K’)

First we see Mike using the new short wave radio system. There’s a riot and Mike summons help. (beeps) Reinforcements arrive to quell the disturbance.

“The Parade of Wooden Soldiers”

The proctor serves as a guidance counselor. We overhear Mike consoling an undergraduate, just before he enters the Dean’s office.

“Heart” (Band forms heart)

We recently overheard Sweeny chastising an 18-year old freshman, whom he caught trying to purchase liquor.

“Baby Face” (Band forms ’21’)

It is nine-thirty Saturday night. There’s a knock at the door, a girl scurries into a closet, an undergraduate sheepishly opens the door. It’s Axel; he sings — “Hello Young Lovers”

​(Band forms ‘9’)
