The Springstreakers are a loosely organized group of streakers who have made a name for themselves streaking events at Williams. The group was founded by [[Andrew Whinery]] and [[Morgan Goodwin]] during December of 2004 and has since grown into a large but highly unorganized club. While there have been many high points for the group's career, the focus has always been on capitalizing on a maximum of focused attention to create shock value.
=== Rules ===
# Only streak sober. Streaking is not a shameful act and therefore should not need the influence of substances to convince you into doing it.
# Don't streak little kids. Parents would get angry.
# Don't streak anything with an inordanitely inordinately high risk of getting caught.
# Don't streak anything unworthy of getting streaked. Such events include sparsely populated events, unpopular events, things that have been streaked before and things that are unimaginative, eg. run-of-the-mill sporting events.

Finals week, the perfect time to streak. For about ten minutes, not many people were able to concentrate too hard over the bugling, the Williams cheers, and of course, the 15 naked bodies jogging past them. So, just to let everybody know, we streaked the shit out of Hamilton. I know many of you were worried that we would not do Williams proud or they would not know that it was us, but rest assured, they knew that they had been streaked pretty hard last night by Williams. Hamilton had been getting a lot of press because of their NESCAC college streaking tour. They were boasting an undefeated record, but last night The Springstreakers brought home a W on the road. We really showed them what it is like to get a high concentration of people from a different school to be shocked, mildly disgusted, but highly entertained, by our nakedness.
Hours driving: 6
Estimated Hamilton students streaked: >200
===May 2005 (cont'd):===
Well, it has to be said. We once again outdid ourselves, in achieving the greatest moment of streaking history. With Springstreaker leadership, 42 [[WOOLF]] leaders pre-emptively streaked the entire JA class. If you weren't there, you missed quite the show.
May ===October 2005:===WellAfter failing to organize a larger group of streakers on Mountain Day, it has three streakers managed to streak a whole crowd of Williams students atop Stony Ledge, many of whom were playing "[[Ride that Pony]]." The game of "Ride that Pony" promptly stopped.It should be saidnoted that a serious violation of rule #2 (see above) left one toddler with a very strange expression on his face. We once again outdid ourselves ===November 2005:===The Springstreakers brought it all back home, streaking the inspiration for their name, in achieving the greatest moment of streaking history[[Springstreeters]] during their fall concert. With Springstreaker leadershipFittingly, 42 WOOLF leaders pre-emptively the Springstreakers sang as they streaked . ====December 2005:====Two senior members with the entire JA classhelp of 10 others streaked a well-dressed group of '08 WUFO members waiting to be lectured to by '06 leadership. If you weren 't there06s then went on to streak Springstreakers founder and captain [[Morgan Goodwin]], scoring a major victory in inter-team competition for the seniors, you missed quite showing that the class of '06 can still showthe youngins a few tricks.Estimated people streaked: 15 (making this one of the best ratios of streakers to streakees of all time; basically it was the mass aerial bombardment of streaking)
October 2005Final Exam:After failing to organize a larger group of Fifteen 'streakers on Mountain Daystormed into Schow science library, three streakers managed to bugling, shouting Happy Festivus and distributing individually wrapped study breaks. The streak was well received, a whole crowd of Williams students atop Stony Ledgeperfect end to our third semester. Remington was not in attendance, many of whom were playing "Ride that Ponybut the numbers made up for it.Estimated Streaked People: 150 ''Look for " The game Philosophy of Streaking: Theory and Practice"Ride to be offered under the umbrella of [[Free University]] 2006! The course will include both lecture and lab components under the close instruction of Mr. Goodwin, Mr. Whinery, and other members of the faculty.'' ===May 2006:===Frustrated that Pony" promptly stoppedshe was too busy finishing her thesis to join the big Schow streak, Amelia Bishop '06 streaked a pot-luck dessert gathering in CES. Estimated Streaked People: 20 It should Not to be noted out-done by Amelia, the Springstreakers gathered en mass in Schow atrium to run a naked jaunt through the cavernous library. 33 people streaked, includeing many new members. The group recieved a standing ovation as they left past the front desk. ESP: 150 Shortly after Schow, 29 of the original 33 started in the bottom of Sawyer and navigated the labirynth that is our doomed library to streak all four floors and work up a sweat for the effort. We wish a warm goodbye to our outgoing seniors.ESP: 100 ===September 2006:===The Springstreakers made a serious violation strong appearance at the freshmen Jamboree in Chapin Hall. Some estimated this was the group's largest streak ever, but most agree it was the boldest. The streak was made directly after [[Good Question]] and right before [[Combo Za]] performed.ESP: 600 ===2010-2011:===As of this year, the general Williams community has begun to expect that the libraries will be loudly toured by the unclothed near the end of each semester. The Fall 2010 streak made history when, for the first time, more women than men bared their bits in the name of rule #2 (see above) left one toddler Williams pride. The Williams Record did a lovely column about it [http://record.williams.edu/wp/?p=15819 here]. The Spring 2011 streak featured an exciting/horrifying escape from Security persons, who cornered the 60+ streakers with a very strange expression on his faceaccusations of "It's all fun and games until someone gets upset!" as the Naked Ones were swiftly re-clothing themselves.
