nee upon a time in the long ago and far away year of 1967, the oldest of us made our way into an exciting and very different world. In the golden land of California on the opposite coast a much younger Ronald Reagan was governor of the state. Much closer to our own realm Lyndon Johnson, presi- dent of the country, was fashioning what was called the Great Society”. Here in Boston, the Red Sox battled in the world series of baseball. They made the impossi- ble dream possible becoming world famous. Which proves that when you wish upon Carl Yaztramski dreams really do come true. While we were cutting our first teeth, the legendary Beatles were cutting their hit album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band . In three months it sold a phenomenal 2,500,000 copies. Also during 1967, Dr. Christaan Bernard of South Africa performed the first successful heart transplant. Now eighteen years later, transplants of kidneys, livers, retinas, hearts and even lungs are commonly performed in Boston’s medical complexes. Twiggy, a seventeen year old model from England, was the newest fashion sensation. She flaunted prominent cheekbones and a pencil thin body which was a hanger for outrageously short mini-skirts while we still crawled in diapers and exclaimed over baby food in 1S)67. Vietnam was a distant name and place that creeped into the public awareness with daily news broadcasts from the battlefields and rice paddies. As the seniors graduate in 1985, they’ll never again be eighteen years old and full of dreams. Perhaps for some this year will be remembered with the wistfulness of Peter Pan: It might be miles beyond the moon or just right there where you stand. Just keep an open mind and then suddenly you’ll find Never Never Land.” O CHI Kr lYslH DRcnfiicoppii 0 ISRAELI-SYRIAN WAR F LO W E R C Hll L D lOFE CHAPPAR R flLL DEATH OF A PRESIDENT School Life 5 I
