Yale 1963
Yale at Princeton
November 16th, 1963
Princeton wins 27-7
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Marching Band. A profoundly significant breakthrough has come in recent years from the fertile mind of science. We see the frustrated scientist who, after years of painful labor, has finally succeeded in perfecting the pill. Turning to his research assistant, he says:
“Happy Days Are Here Again” (Band forms pill)
The last two years have seen a rather subtle re-evaluation of Princeton’s preceptorial system. Although the precept is not always the best method, it can be a valuable educational experience. However, precepts bog down when the participants are unprepared. As the Band forms a magacept on the field, we overhear a typical precept discussions.
“Aba Daba” (Band forms blob)
Science and education is not the only changed facets of America. Traditional modes of human behavior also vary. Indeed, group conduct frequently assumes strange and surprising forms, as, for instance, last year’s “Spring Madness.” While some claimed that it was simply a manifestation of spring fever, others termed it “unbridled hooliganism.” Whatever the cause of last May’s festivities, we overheard glazed-eyed Princeton Charlie running up University Place gasping:
“I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” (Band forms circle with arrowhead pointing up from top)
Last week, startled by the recent controversy over college parties and student morals, the dean of a prominent girls’ school began to worry about the behavior of her girls. After polling her group of shy, retiring wall-flowers, she was heard to exclaim:
“Where Have All the Flowers Gone” (Band forms flower blossom)
