What Do You Think About Streaking?
By JAMIE PRICE
The latest fad is running
around ‘in the buff’, what do
you think about streaking?
Billy Joe Easter said, “I
think it’s cool man. It is
probably really cool at night
or during the winter.
"It would be fun to streak,
especially on a coed street I
I doubt if I would ever do it,
but you never can tell. If I
did, I would wear a toboggan I
"There very definately
needs to be some streaking at
JHS. I think the girls would
streak more than the boys.
"This fad will probably last
this spring and summer. I
think that it is a lot better
than eating goldfish or sitting
on telephone poles.’’
Libby Ward replied, "I'm
amused by it; mischief and
spring fever! In an age where
fuel shortage, food shortage,
economic unrest and world
crislses are prevalent in the
headlines, it’s interesting
to see a streaker on campus
be the big scoop. The world
could use a nudge in the side
and a snicker!
"Colleges have always had
fads to annoy their elders.
There was swimming in the
straight skinny, panty-raids,
cramming in phone booths,
etc.—far better than riots,
sit-ins, and militant actions.
"Hope their tennis shoes
are clean and they run (not
walk) to the nearest exit!”
Steve Geer, a student at
NTSU, replied, “North Texas
is really wild about all of the
Streaking. All of the col-
leges are doing it.
"I have seen several
streakers. You’d be sur-
prised at everyone who is
taking part in this activity.
There just aren’t enough
good looking girls doing it,
but I saw a good one run by
last week. When a good look-
ing girl runs by, she Is
usually chased by a lot of
boys.
"A lot of the fraternities
are taking part in this. Some
of my friends have streaked.
It doesn’t bother me for
them to streak, but I think
they’re crazy for doing it.
"This has gone into several
of the Dallas high schools.
but I don’t think it will get
to Jacksboro.
"The weather probably has
something to do with streak-
ing. I guess it is all in the
moon. Other reasons would
be wanting attention or just
wanting something to do.
"I wouldn’t streak, al-
though I would prefer it to
eating gold fish.
“The funniest streaker I
have seen was one who ran
covered only by a sld mask
shouting, ‘The Phantam
Streaker Strikes Again!’ ’’

Senior Glass Play
There was much action in
the senior play, "And Came
The Spring,’' a comedy of
modern youth, presented by
the Senior Class of 1974 Fri-
day evening at the JHS audi-
torium.
Mrs. Ed Bonner, sponsor of
the senior class directed the
play which was a brightly hu-
morous and straightforward
story of the Hartmans, a plea-
santly typical American
family, who enjoyed a reason-
able amount of quiet and peace
until Spring enters the
scene—to stir the blood and
lift the heart.
On the first day of Spring
vacation, Midge, played by
Cindy Garner, the youngest,
finds herself surprisingly in
the throes of first love. A
charming andlovable hoyden
is Midge—complex,alive,and
warmly human. She thinks
nothing of starting whirl-
winds or even tornadoes to
Impress casual, witty Buzz
Lindsay, played by Zoy Gun-
ter, the young gentleman of
her choice—who is unluckily
in love with older sister Vir-
ginia (Denice Clay).
When the spirited Midge de-
termined to manage lives and
emotions for her own ends,
the hectic and hilarious com-
plications into which she
plunges the family almost
prove disastrous. She causes
her sister to be suspected as
a thief; to almost lose the
right boy; she drops a bomb-
shell into her father’s busi-
ness, threatening her sister’s
college education, she dis-
rupts brilliant brother El-
liott’s (Guinn Simons) care-
fully planned life as a writer
of tragic novels, she plays
havoc with the hearts of se-
veral other young people,
including a visiting NewYork
glamour girl and a bashful boy
who really cares for Midge—
Mrs. Lonnie Wooten was
surprised Friday morning

brother F. E. Bachor and

had been in Oklahoma City
and Tulsa on business. Lonnie
knew they were coming but
wanted to surprise Rose.
in short, the sanity and well-
being of everyone concerned.
At the second act climax
the world comes smashing
down around an angered fam-
ily. By the end of the week
the three Hartman children,
and parents have learned a
few things.
The auditorium was mostly
full for the entertaining per-
formance. Some people came
from out of town. Mrs. Bon-
ner and the senior class ex-
pressed their thanks for the
fine attendance. Proceeds
will go toward senior trip and
other projects.
