April 1951, General MacArthur, released from his Korean command, defends his policies before Congress.

The year -- 1953. All good Republicans will remember that famous Wisconsin senator's search for the facts.

February, 1945, all good Democrats will remember F.D.R.'s report to the people after the Yalta conference.

A Prediction for the future: when the present T.V. scandals are over only one unfixed show will remain on the air, good old one and two and three and play and....

Finally, the Princeton Band salutes the Dartmouth football team.

COLGATE
1959

Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band salutes the Big K, Mike Kopliner and his proctorial staff.

First we see Mike using the new short wave radio system. There's a riot and Mike summons help. (beeps) Reinforcements arrive to quell the disturbance.

The proctor serves as a guidance counselor. We overhear Mike consoling an undergraduate, just before he enters the Dean's office.

We recently overheard Sweeny chastizing an 18-year old freshman, whom he caught trying to purchase liquor.

It is nine-thirty Saturday night. There's a knock at the door, a girl scurries into a closet, an undergraduate sheepishly opens the door. It's Axel; he sings --

PENN

Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band presents (fanfare) This is Your Life, Elizabeth Trailer.

Just a starlet Liz, you met and married a poor boy from the other side of the tracks named Jilton, whose father Conrad owned several boarding houses.

Recently Liz, you met your present husband and his wife.

Not all of Liz Taylor's career is social. Last year your fine portrayal of a cat in a recent Kentucky Williams play thrilled all Princetonians.

In closing Liz, your career has proven one thing.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton Band salutes that zany era, the Roaring Twenties.

In the field of entertainment, who can forget the dance marathons.

The date -- February 14, 1929. The place -- a Chicago garage. Al Capone sends his good friends the O'Bannions a Saint Valentine's Day gift.

Finally, there was Princeton's gift to literature, F. Scott Fitzgerald.
