Columbia 1970

Columbia at Princeton
​October 3rd, 1960

Princeton wins 24-22

Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band takes a long, hard look at current abuses.

“Princeton Forward”

A recent source of consternation on university campuses across the country is the suspicion that some students just might be using marijuana. Informed sources report, however, that the difficulties in obtaining this magic weed, as well as the continual danger of a bust, have forced many users to seek other kinds of highs. Forming


a) a potted plant,
b) planted pot, or
c) another kind of high,


the Band overhears a perplexed student wondering “Where Have All the Flowers Gone"

(Band forms a flowerpot)

Speaking of busts, the Band salutes the new dangerous-drug, anti-crime bill. Under its provisions, the Attorney General can authorize a search of homes for exploratory purposes. Forming a forced entry on the field, the Band overhears the Attorney General instructing his men to just “Walk Right In”

(Band forms ‘KEY’)

The Band now turns to the garment and hose industries, where manufacturers have gone to great lengths to conceal the obvious. By skirting the real issues, the midi fashions are an attempt to pull profits up while dropping hemlines down — thus pulling the wool over consumers’ eyes. Forming a rising interest rate, the band forsees future hemlines going “Up, Up and Away”

(Band forms a square containing a plot of a rising interest rate)

Finally, in its 50th season, the Band turns to a serious note and salutes its founder Arthur H. Osborn of the Class of 1907. A noted song writer, Mr. Osborn founded the band in 1920. We now play one of Mr. Osborn’s favorite songs. “The Orange and the Black”

​(Band forms ‘AHO’)
