“Pachyderms for Sale” reminded me of the stories that my father, William G. Ambrose ’44, used to tell. To complete the fifth reunion’s circus theme, the class wore clown costumes. On the first evening of revelry and beer drinking, a major design flaw was discovered: The clown pants did not have zippers. For a later reunion, the class wore lederhosen with feathered hats and knee socks, which my father continued to wear to Reunions well into the 1990s.
