Dartmouth 1971
Dartmouth at Princeton
November 20th, 1971
Princeton loses 7-33
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band rings up the long hard problems of sex and censorship at Dartmouth College. At Dartmouth there is a staunch defender of the straight and narrow path. Although elsewhere men have seen new vistas opened and spread before their eyes, Dean Thaddeus Seymour has taken in hand young members of his institution, and explained the dangers of dallying in forbidden fields. We salute this opponent of loose livers, weak knees, and risque jokes by forming his initials on the field and hearing his remark…
“Going Out of My Head” (Band forms ‘T.S.’)
Under old Thad, a marvelous spirit of cooperation and harmony can be felt at Dartmouth. Aside from resentment towards the Indians who trapped all the available beaver years and years ago in New Hampshire, and are thus blamed for the deplorable social conditions, Dartmouth men really do get a long swell together. Forming a long swell together, we salute the comraderie by playing the new Beatle’s hit… “Come Together Over Me”
Actually, coeducation, if not the twentieth century, has come to Hanover, but inexplicably continues to face opposition from a majority of Danny Dartmouth’s buddies. Sure that her opponents have nothing but limp excuses, Dottie Dartmouth nonetheless fears her male supporters will soften their stand, thinking themselves to be over the hump. We in the Band earnestly feel for Dottie, urging her to “grin and bare it,” as we form a hard and fast supporter for coeducation on the field.
“After the Ball is Over”
Finally, the Band sees a better role for Dottie in the future. Sure that Dartmouth will eventually come of age, we remind Dottie that with Thanksgiving vacation so close at hand, she has a chance to travel home and see (eat?) a different kind of turkey across the table before the bleak New Hampshire winter sets in. Thus we close our show with visions of Dottie’s upcoming roll with “Turkey in the Straw”
