NO BATHING SUITS OR PAJAMAS MAY BE WORN TO CLASSES, warn the announcements which herald the arrival of Hoedown Day. Yet we manage to garb ourselves garishly and appear in classes complete with bongos, berets, sandals, and jamaicas, carrying out the Calypso theme. At 2:00, excused from classes for the remainder of the day, we swarm to the jazz concert in the Uakland gym to hear the Ramsey Lewis Trio. Friday evening is Hlled, too, with the bonfire, pep rally, fireworks, and the crowning of Queen Sherlee during intermission at the Bermuda Hop.

Grand marshall of the parade was Western's former president. Paul Sangren, who was honored by the band at halftime. THE DAY OF THE BIG GAME begins disgustingly early for many Western students as we groggily rise from a comfortable pad, grope around in the closet for bermudas and a sweatshirt, gulp down a hasty breakfast, and head for the garage and a halffiinished float.

A quick cigarette, a hnal glance in the mirror, and somehow we miraculously manage to greet our date looking rested and refreshed. A football game just wouldn't be complete without the appearance of a high-stepping band. ff' 173 ' T,,a,-,A,7:v,MV.5,,g gvgggi, 55. as, -L-. Aa A4 i . .,..., -044
