Yale 1962

Princeton at Yale
November 17th, 1962

Princeton wins 14-10
​
Ladies and gentlemen: This afternoon the Princeton University Marching Band presents some of the significant events that have determined the course of history. There…you are! 

“Going Back”

First, we take you back to eleventh-century England with its scenic pageantry, splendor, and ornate dress. We invite you to join us in watching the legendary Lady Godiva ride through the market place of Coventry.

“I’ll Be Seeing You”

Next, we visit Ancient Rome, the year is 62 A.D. We hear the plaintive strains of a violin above the wild cries of a city being ravaged by fire. Following the sound to the palace, we find Emperor-musician Nero who says calmly:

“Smoke Gets In Your Eyes”

The year is 1668. We observe two girls, Prudence and Susie, discussing Casanova and his daring exploits. Susie turns to Prudence and says:

“He’s Got the Whole World”

Finally, we look into the future. It is opening night at the proposed New Haven Playboy Club. At the door, we see a typical Yale undergraduate showing his I.D. card, and receiving from Hugh Hefner his specially prepared handbook of instructions, and explanations.

“Bunny Hop”
