Abstract
If venereal disease keeps climbing at the present rate in Los Angeles, it is estimated that one in five of the city's high school students will have contracted either gonorrhea or syphilis by the time s/he graduates. As infectious diseases, syphilis and gonorrhea are outranked in incidence only by the common cold. These venereal diseases are now first among reported communicable diseases. The number of VD cases reported annually exceeds the number of reported cases of strep throat, scarlet fever, measles, mumps, and hepatitis combined. In Jacksonville, Florida, in April of 1976 an airplane cruised the beaches towing a banner designed to catch the eye of vacationing college students and increase their awareness of venereal disease and its incidence. The banner read: Catch a Frisbee; not V.D.
