Sex controversy rages over rail in the lobby rail ral a. A bar extending from one post or support to another to serve as a guard or barrier. AHS students throughout the 1973-74 school year fought for a spot on the famed rail. Located in the lobby, the rail served as a barrier between the two sexes, where verbal com- ments such as “chauvinist pig and “women’s libber were thrown at persons of the opposite sexes. The hard feelings were also shown in weekly letters to the editor in the Ames High WEB. Representing the female side of the argument was the anonymous Ms. Sybbie. The males were represented by several persons. Despite all of the controversy, the boys still open the doors for the girls, still ask them out for dates, still pay for expenses on a date, still pull out the chairs for the girls, still help them with their coats and the many other things that go along with the age old chivalry. AHS students have noticed a sharp rise in the quality of the eroups that had played at the dances this year. Groups such as Sunday Social and Sweet Nothing highlighted the first semester of social activities. Dances were scarce this year for one main reason. A rule was established that five teacher chap- erones had to be present, nine student marshals had to be there and the dances had to be held after a school sponsored function. Dances failed to be many times because this rule was not met. i ኔ Sweet Nothin’ supplied enough heavy music to attract the largest crowd of AHS students in the cafeteria in years. 24 Battle of Sexes, Dances 0 0 i eh 44% | | 9۲4 131139 HM . i 1171 ۱ ቺ D ۰ LJ Sé $ KA ነ 2 1 4 Lë 4 7 ۲ i AW ሽ Na Hii ` | l in | | HEI 5 A 1 ›ፏሕዎኝየ | MM M 1 ۷ ; 1 | 1 | ۷ | ፪ 11111 111 np te Hn 90890110 ul ዘ lx UU VU Ml 04 1 Heads (d 8 1 HE EI 1 A Nd T ۱ | HI $9 a Ma TTE í‏ 1فز | (IN ኛ ‏ ip‏ | | ' ی‎ | EFE THTIHTI 51 ۱ ||||| ‹ብጠ'ኽዕ 1 7۱1 5 4111 1፤777፡895) 4d ۰ i ደከ ` | v 1 | | | | 11 P | ` 1 . ۲ n X | 1 ۰ | Hr ait | l ! ፤! ቨ 7 ۱ mU 0 ۱ HHI HING dl tr t Hutt ۶ M Fräi Ir: 1237 - ٴ۰‎ ክር dh, Gettin’ it on in their own way, two members of Atlantis pro- vide sounds for Ames High’s first dance of the year.

For about 48 hours in early March, Ames residents were able to observe people tearing off their clothing and dashing around in the nude, despite Iowa's disagreeable winter temperatures. This activity was soon revealed as “streaking” and marked one of the shortest lived, but most widely publicized fads our nation has seen. lowa State University stu- dents were the most locally active participants, but Ames High students were involved in several incidents also. Merchants took advantage of the fad by advertising such paraphanalia as streaking shirts with only a collar and cuffs, streaking bumper stickers carrying slogans such as “Streakers tan more evenly, and streaking handbooks with complete instructions and illustrations. Dances and concerts, whether in Des Moines, Minneapolis- Advice to streakers: “Grin and bare it” or the AHS cafeteria, were an important part in the lives of many Ames High students. Freaks, jocks and straights of all ages attended the school sponsored dances and their reactions ranged from delight to disgust. Ihey were okay if you were just in a boogying mood; otherwise YUCK! “I can't remember going to any of them. “TIl never forget the dance where they played “Monster Mash.’ It stunk!” There definitely should be more of them because I could bop every week!” “The only reason I went to any of them was to see if they . played music; they didn’t.” v ወ The irresistible combination of sun and song drew many students to outdoor concerts around the country.
