Penn at Princeton
October 23rd, 1971
Princeton wins 31-0
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band takes a long, hard look, for the sake of Mom and Dad, at the Princeton experience.
“Princeton Forward”
The Band regrets that the freshman parents have been seated on the other side of the field. Appropriately, we form ‘MOM’ for them, noting that although some may see her differently, we feel that she has played a vital role in preparing the average Princetonian for college life.
“Mrs. Robinson” (Band forms ‘WOW’)
The Band now offers a bottoms-up to the recently arrested outspoken cartoonist Al Capp — one of Princeton’s latest guest speakers. Like Lance Rentzel and Peter Yarrow before him, Al cast his conservatism and his coat to the wind while assuming the courageous stance of Fearless Fosdick. We wonder what the root of uncle Al’s problem is. Did his Mammy Yokum? Did he believe Daisey May? Or was Li’l Abner too Little? Whatever the case, we form
a) a bone of contention, or
b) a Hairless Joe
while hearing overhearing Al proclaim “Hey Look Me Over” Finally we would like to direct your attention to Arthur “Rag” Osborn, Jr., the founder of the Princeton Band — the nation’s first football band. Ever since the first group took the field in 1919, Princeton has led the way in performing the kind of shows and music that bands are famous for, such as John Philip Sousa’s Semper Fidelis.
