These fonts seem quite tame in comparison to some of that stuff! Found another from 1980: Also, another thread about a Tiki Ski Weekend in 1964 which led me to this information: "For years, the social highlight of the year was the end-of-the-ski-season Tiki Race hosted by "Trader Vic" Bergeron. Outfitted in grass skirts, leis and sarongs, skiers slalomed around artificial palm trees to the bottom of the hill, where a dugout canoe was filled with mai tais. Winners got a carved wooden tiki. Trader Vic's Tiki International, as it came to be called, ended in 1975, but it has recently been revived -- in a less boozy form -- as a benefit for Sugar Bowl's ski team." (source) Who would've thought?
