Carleton College Parents Day 1965 Football, Snake Dance, Tradition? Beanie Hats?

 In the fall of 1965, my parents, Paul H "Pete" Weaver with his camera, and Peg, arrived at Burton Hall. Here I am in a sweater and Eldon J Spencer my roomie, appears to be in a sport coat for the event, in our dorm room with a bay of windows facing east to Willis Hall.

Here I am with my tall lean frame, with a green frosh beanie, with my mom, Peg Weaver, walking from Burton toward Liard Stadium with the West Gym in the background.

 Here are a couple of football teams, red and white and maroon and gold. Somehow I thought Carleton was maize and blue.  Perhaps I was unconscious at the time as I have no memory of my parents visiting and taking these photos. Selective memory?

 My dad called this the frosh "snake dance" and a bunch of folks are dressed in white shirts  I did have that silly green beanie on, and really wonder if anyone else remembers this. I remember going to down town Northfield and winding through the Grand Theater...and maybe this was the time...:-) ??

Looks like some one is drumming for us to run down the field........lemmings...:-)??

Looks like the white shirted group is heading south. I see Musser in the background with the South Scoreboard..

 The Carleton Singing Knights have often been known for some ribald humor.  I had forgotten I had cross dressed here in a short skirt for the Parents Day Concert wearing a green beanie as a frosh. I had not yet come out to anyone, including myself so this is rather fun.  Dave Peterson with the crutch is also from Faribault and a year ahead of me at Carleton, behind us are Jeff Hoel and Jeff Beckwith I think..

 My dad labeled this is "KEYNOTES -girl's singing group."
