Dominating the parade, which included classes ranging up from 1900, was 1925, which scorned frills to appear with white caps and a band. At the other extreme was the Class of 47, with a Brink's truck and signs reading "22 years and $99,000 to go."
1940 produced its own brewery wagon for the parade, drawn by a pair of dray horses and followed by a brace of Yale men carrying one shovel and one garbage can respectively. Other classes wielded canes, fans, and long white beards.
