“Striped Curtain of Death” Just Doesn’t Have the Same Ring To It

I’d only ever known this curtain in the gym to be blue.

This is a Houston Chronicle photo that I grabbed off the internet.

(Incidentally, the ghastly blue suit that former AD Chris Del Conte had made out of a piece of that blue curtain is in the Woodson. It weighs roughly a ton.)

This striped curtain is new to me. It looks pretty gaudy, doesn’t it?

These images are pretty fuzzy and all scratched up on top of it, but I’m hoping someone will be able to give me at least an approximate date. I’m thinking it must be early or mid-60s. Nice hats on the band, by the way.
