Lake Laverne update

[aauummm]

Many moons ago there was a fraternity on West St. (Alpha Sigma Phi) that had a cannon that they fired off after every score. They might be the ones still doing it but with a newer, upgraded cannon, the fourth generation. The tradition began in 1967 with the first generation cannon.

A tradition with a bang: the stories behind Alpha Sigma Phi touchdown cannon

Go to an Iowa State football game and wait for the Cyclones to score. When they do, listen for a booming sound and look for a haze of smoke in the south end zone. When it clears, you’ll see a cannon and a group of fraternity brothers standing beside it, waiting for the next touchdown...

They better dredge it deep. I am sure having a pedestrian bridge will allow even more "articles" to fall into the water.

This is something a Smiley Face Killer would post.

Smiley Faced Killer is real as is the Lake Laverne Monster, Shirley.

Cannon curiosity, origin is not certain as far as the links go.

So, that's where the cannon went during the merriment after we licked them damned Rebs so bad Missour-ah ceded their two northern tiers of counties to be the two southern tiers of counties in Iowa.

The Dodds boys might be in trouble.

At first glance it looked like a piece of a goal post.

Replacing concrete at Hilton jog your memory, too? Even squirrels forget where all their old nuts are buried.
