BAKER 13 thresher coverage of Baker 13 began in 1975 with a small article about “club 13.” the first published photo of the naked run, however, came in 1985 as part of the thresher’s Beer Bike coverage that year. in the photo, five “club 13” runners excitedly streak across a field as “halftime entertainment.” the thresher most likely was unable to take photos of the run initially, as it took place outside at night, and the photography team would not have had the necessary equipment to document the run at that time. today, the thresher consistently publishes photos of Baker 13 runs. Because of improved cameras and equipment, the thresher can now capture photos of the night runs in high quality; the naked students are still covered in shaving cream, but their expressions are now less grainy. to the right, a 2012 thresher photo shows a crowd of runners wearing variable amounts of shaving cream during a halloween run. 100th ANNiVersAry
