The series of events, several of which were filled to capacity, was sponsored by CLUB and provided almost non-stop entertainment during the Weekend. A Wilkommen featured Burgenleander Dancers and an accordianist on Friday night. Saturday's two circus performances sandwiched the parade while a beef and brew supper and German goodtime offset the football game against Wagner College. "Sigma's Steins" was the winning parade float, but the grid contest ended in a stalemate, the Indians first tie of the season, 20-20. Photos by Sue Castner and Rod Benmuvhar 2.

  • Pop Music History: the 1960S “Bri?Sh Invasion”
    Pop Music History: The 1960s “Brish Invasion” Everyone loves the songs of the early 1960s. Do you know how those songs and bands became popular? Here is what happened. During World War II, many men went away to fight. The war ended in 1945. Soon they were back home and working again. They began to get married. They began to have families. All of a sudden, it seemed, many people were having babies. There were a LOT of babies. They call this me in the 40s and 50s the “Baby Boom.” Then in the 1960s, all those babies were growing up. Now they were teenagers. 70 million! It was a modern age. They called it the Jet Age. Kennedy was President. Young people liked new things, and new music. They liked “mod.” Teenagers oen like to be different from their parents, as they grow up. The 1960s teens had their own culture. Some boys grew their hair longer. They loved pop music. Everyone forgot about Elvis when the Beatles appeared on TV on the Ed Sullivan show in the U.S. in 1964. The Beatles became so popular so quickly, the press called their arrival in the U.S. the “Brish Invasion.” Teens loved the blues‐based, guitar‐ led sound of the Beatles and other Brish groups. They bought all their records. They requested the songs on the radio. They went to their concerts. Other performers were popular, too. Dusty Springfield had big hits, including “I Only Want to Be With You” in 1963. The Hollies had lots of hits, including “Bus Stop” in 1966.
