Excerpt from After Twenty-Five Years: Reunion Book of the Class of 1881, Princeton The pe-rade was a most imposing affair. The men were simply but strikingly decorated with orange and-black hat - bands, and with wide orange - and - black sashes, worn diagonally over one shoulder and under the other arm and all carried orange and - black - flags. The huge Class Banner was borne aloft by the two men in charge of Headquarters, and the Class was preceded by the Rittenhouse Military Band of twenty pieces, and followed by Pliny Fisk's big automobile with horn honking and flags waving. Thirty-eight men ofthe Class lined up for the procession. At the farther end of Dickinson a halt was made, and Rose took the excellent photograph in the frontispiece.* All along the line of march, as we passed groups of spectators, or other classes forming, cheers rang out for the Class of'8 I. At least one wholly disinterested and impartial observer, known to the Sec retary, pronounced '8 I the finest body of men in the parade. The long column of classes made the usual inner circuit of the ball-grounds amid great enthu siasm from the grand stand and bleachers, and then all took seats for the game.
