If you are trying to decide what to wear to your reunion this weekend, you might be interested to know that returning Yale classes used to sport matching costumes—cowboys, sailors, convicts, bellhops, etc.— for the annual reunion parade. This photo of members of the Class of 1929 in Scottish kilts is from our July 1, 1932, issue.
