HOMECOMING The population of Toronto was subjected to another Homecoming Parade. Once more Skule’s float was disqualified from the judging due to the engineers being excessive and drinking beer. The Band provided musical relief and set Bach spinning in his grave. So what if the Blues lost?

GODIVA WEEK “Ladies and Gentlemen! The triple prize winning, quadru- ple record setting Godiva’s Wake Band and Gospel Chorus proudly presents: The solemn voice of Peter Weick echoed across the barren wind-swept Front Campus. He intoned his benediction, and sprayed the elixer of life (a bottle of ‘Blue’) on the simple black coffin. Godiva, or a reasonable facsimile thereof, was resurrected! Godiva Week was on! The annual celebration of Skule Spirit went off without a hitch, and with only one Women’s Committee protest. The Brew Crew sank thirteen other teams to capture the Boat Racing title on Monday night. Tuesday, the mighty Skule Cannon blasted the pretenders from Rye High, Devonshire, and a frat, and maintained Skule’s tradition of Gang Bang victories. The Chariot Race was held in ideal conditions after twelve hours of fluffy snow. The Chems, sporting a brand new chariot, managed to capture the Jerry P. Potts Trophy for the first time since 1964. The first ever Common Room Marathon saw 26 competitors make the rounds of the common rooms, downing a beer at each. A winning time of 18 minutes was entered in the record books. Friday, at noon, Godiva was laid to rest. . .but not for long. Wilson Hall was the scene of Godiva’s Wake, as the LGMB set the crowd on its ear with a revitalised repertoire, and appearances by Bnad-alumnus Simon Monk, with a trombone Solo, an electric guitarist, and a bassist. Skule Spirit lives on!
