"There was one guy who ran all the way to Hollis or Holworthy completely naked," Stokes said.

Stephen J. Cox '95 admitted yesterday that he was the streaker referred to by Stokes. Cox said that he was standing in the middle of the Yard with some friends when the first streakers ran by, and that their act prompted him to further the cause.

"In a moment of recklessness I just took off my shorts and started running," Cox said. "But when I got to Hollis there was no one there. So I stood there for about a minute waiting for someone to open the door and no one did," he said.

After about a minute, Cox said, he became nervous. "I ran around the corner to Mower where someone was standing there and they let me in, and I ran downstairs and put on my clothes," Cox said.

Traditional Events, Too

While streaking was not the only event to mark the first snow, several students said it was the most memorable.

"There were a lot of people [streaking]," said Hilary B. Hanson '95. "Well, not a lot, but compared to how many people normally streak across the Yard, I guess there were a lot doing it."

In addition to the streakers, some students celebrated the snowfall more traditionally by singing Christmas carols, playing frisbee and football, and jogging around the Yard.

Joseph B. Nadol III '95 called the evening exciting. "It was the most fun I've had all year," he said
