I was in high school at the peak of the streaking fad.

As graduation and summer vacation approached, the fashion at our school was to wear as little clothing as possible and to look like you just crawled out of bed, or you'd just had sex and a smoke in the park.

Graduation pictures weren't especially fancy. The vice principal struggled to get everyone to wear appropriate shirts and blouses. A few kids ended up with the shirts, blouses and jackets provided by the school because they'd showed up on picture day wearing something inappropriate. A few guys pushed the envelope and were allowed to wear big ruffled collars, turtlenecks, or sequins; a few girls managed to show off some cleavage...

Frankly, the school I graduated from was a zoo. Maybe it was some kind of post Viet Nam War exuberance. The draft was over.
