Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Marching Band now presents a brief sketch of Life on the Princeton campus.

“Going Back”

On a Friday evening in early fall, a group of upperclassmen is seen near Dillon Gymnasium watching scores of buses unloading young maidens on their way to a Freshman Mixer. One junior, seeking illegal entrance, pauses before leaping from the roof of Little Hall, and is heard to say:

“I’m an Old Cowhand”

The Band would now like to extend a friendly salute to Princeton’s alleged landmark across the street from Holder Hall. As the Band forms a cold cup of coffee, Princeton Charlie is heard commenting on the speedy and courteous service:

“With a Little Bit of Luck”

Princeton is justly famous as a University providing the student with a broad liberal arts education. As such, her students are restricted by few rules and regulations. However, students 
do wonder if university officials deem the letter of the law important, or the spirit behind it. For example, everyone is familiar with the compulsory chapel attendance rule for Freshman —

“There’s No Business Like Show Business”

Shortly after nine o-clock on Friday night of Freshman Prom, the Frosh and his date find that they are without any place to go. We see them trudging wearily across Gulick Field, blanket in hand,…down past the faculty housing.
