FORTY YEARS
AGO, some students working at Stanford's KZSU radio
station rented a big old house in the Portola
Valley community of Los Trancos Woods. There they
developed a ritual of marching through the
neighborhood to the beat of drums and blare of
horns, then celebrating with a few beers at Zott's
on Alpine Road. Today, the rowdy band has 166
members -- 10 of them alums -- who strut their
stuff in a dozen parades a year, always trailed by
a beer cart. "There are a lot of us sane people who
like to go insane for a parade," explains band
leader Don "Smiley" Nelson, '58. Above, from left,
are Jim Pansch, MS '68; Nelson; Stew Gillmor, '60,
BS '62; band co-leader Jim Harvey, '58; and Carolyn
Lutticken, MA '73.
