The P-rade was where ’67 reached the pinnacle of Buccaneering Behavior. At the end of the march, half a dozen classmates and wives (also in costume) stormed the reviewing stand with grappling hooks. This resulted in what’s probably the only photo ever taken of Bill Bowen flinching in public. (In private, the rumor ran that this incident was the reason ’67 would never win the P-rade Trophy for as long as Bowen was President.)
