1956 Cal Poly Homecoming Parade, San Luis Obispo. They're toasting the coeds because this is the first year Cal Poly had them. I don't know what I.A.S. stands for, but student clubs and societies associated with their majors generally sponsored floats. My brother's 35mm Ektachrome slide. View full size.
I can't help but thinking that Bluto, Flounder, Boone, D Day, and the rest of the Animal House gang are in that crowd somewhere. Are you sure this wasn't Faber College?
Looked like IRS to me at first, looks a little too festive for something from the tax agency
Sorry, couldn't help myself. Really though, thanks for sharing all of your great memories. These pictures are all wonderful. Keep them coming!
