Local, world happenings concern Wildcats Students’ horizons extended be- yond HHS to city, nation, world. Locally Joseph Klen topped Wal- ter Thornton and became mayor. City improvements included wider Calumet Ave., new library and new wing on St. Margaret ' s Hospital. Black power and ghetto riots be- came greater problems. Kerner Com- mission blamed whites. Cary and Cleveland elected Negro mayors Richard Hatcher and Carl Stokes. Further unrest came in strikes of public servants like Florida teachers and New York garbagemen. Inflation spread. Congress came closer to more taxes. President Lyn- don Johnson sought less spending. March gold rush threatened to de- value the dollar as Britain had de- valued the pound in November. America prepared to elect a Pres- ident. Republicans offered Richard Nixon. George Romney withdrew before the first state primary. Johnson withdrew in a surprise move. Senators Eugene McCarthy (Minn.) and Robert Kennedy (NY) sought the Democratic nomination. Former Alabama governor George Wallace offered himself as a can- didate as his cancer-stricken wife Lurleen held the governorship. On the international scene, North Korea seized a US ship, the Pueblo, claiming it had violated territorial waters. US said it hadn’t. Other international headlines came from war between Israel and her Arab neighbors, Australian prime minister Harold Holt’s death. Johnson went to the funeral, then to Viet Nam and other countries. On the optimistic side, the world cheered Dr. Christiaan Barnard and Chatting near concession, Kristi Hickman (in levis and mocassins), Norma Tharp (wearing jumpsuit and cloth shoulder bag) and Pam Purkey (sporting bermudas and knee socks) snack on snow cones.
