! The float place third in the judging but was disqualified because the BNAD wore garbage bags when it wasn’t raining. Special note should be made that it was raining at the official start time of the race, but because Urindale wasn’t ready, the parade was delayed and the rain stopped. Despite placing third, we had more fun than anyone there, and proved again that Engineers build the funnest, most photogenic and best waterproofed floats in the University. Live wrong and prosper!

We went through e kegs of beer, which could explain the blurs. We had polka dancing, which could explain the bruises. We all had fun which needn’t be explained. By the way, Oktoberfest was on Oct. 19th at D.J.’s. George Kash’s Oktoberfest Express provided the entertainment for the crowd. The Engineers supplied the spirit. 13

HOMECOMING ’Twas a rainy day and there was a parade. Everyone loves a parade, what more can I say? However, in order that this book in future years will not look like a Yearbook for illiterates, I will elaborate ever so slightly. Every year, SAC runs the homecumming parade, and this year our very own MC-at-large, Bob Seeman, was the Grand Marshal. The theme for the Engineering float was “Glory Days”, but since we obtained some free costumes (three Grizzly bear suits compliments of Amstel Breweries), we had to change our theme to “The Glory Days of Our Childhood” so that the costumes would make sense. Along with the bears, the float had a house and a cute curly-haired blonde, and was called “Godivalocks and the Three Bears.” Beside them were the Cannon Guard who were supposed to dress up like knights. They thought this idea too silly, so instead, they wore black chiffon capes. The LGMB stood at the end of the float amongst trees which were borrowed from the park under the Don Valley Parkway. The trees represented Sherwood forest, and the BNAD was cleverly disguised as Robin Hood and his Merry Men. The disguise consisted of neon green tights, Octoberfest hats, and green garbage bags made to form tunics.

GODIVA WEEK And now, another thrilling chapter of the Yearbook, brought to you by the Blue and Gold Committee and the letter N, for Ngineering and Nsigh. The week was a great success, and I could write pages on all the events and competitions but the year (picture) book doesn’t have room for it all so I’ll be brief. The only thing I have room for is a run down of the winners of the main events. The Calculus Race (soon to be a classic) was won by Grant (Grunt), a young Flrosh who cheated better than anyone else. The next day, Wednesday, was the date of two big events: the chariot race and the first Engineering Talent Contest. The chariot race was won by the Industrials, only because their pathetic start let them avoid the riot near the finish line. A special mention must go to Engineering Science who placed second with their indestructible tank, truly a revolutionary chariot design. The talent contest was won by the LGMB (legitimately too) who did dramatic readings accompanied by muted classical music (really). In second place was the band “Artists United Against Rainbow-Brite” from Chem 8T7. Both of these groups later performed in the university-wide Blue and White talent night. 14
