Remember '68 We are now living in a time of immense historical significance. In years yet to come, this year, 1968, may bring many things to mind. It is the purpose of our Teddy Memory Annual to represent each senior's most cherishable memories. Therefore, it was felt that all might desire to remember what was making history the year they were graduated from high school. Firstly, The American Negro was at that time making greater headway into pro- fessions of more honorable standing. Many had achieved governorships, cabinet ap- pointments, and other positions of great political esteem. The Afro-American was then being noted more for his abilities and was being given more opportunities. In the world of science, one might recall that heart-transplant surgery was in its toddling stage and that a living virus had been first developed E:--here in the United States. Politically, his belief on the war in Vietnam was the albatross of our President Lyndon B. Johnson. His measures in handling the war were the constant target of other great world powers and also of the world 's clergy. The Hippies, descendants of the earlier beatniks and bohemians, were in constant opposition to the war in Vietnam. Their many protest marches served as an inspiration to all American youths to exercise their rights as citizens. They may be remembered, however, in a more deplorable sense. They were often associated with LSD, STP, FDA, and other hallucinatory drugs which were proven to be the cause for many deformed babies. The population explosion, birth control, water and air pollution, cigarette-induced lung cancer, heart disease, and the clean-water shortage were also crises of our senior year but were of lesser notariety. These were the major world happenings of the year 1968. As you read this approx- imately twenty years from now, all of these things may seem very minute. However., with much hope and an equal amount of diligent work, by then, greater things may have been accomplished. Maybe all earth will have adopted the love philosophy of the Hippies. Perhaps through this, the many peoples of this great globe of ours may have eventually found peaceg and, as a result, may have had time to discover solutions to the many problems which faced them. Hopefully, we, the future generation, will help discover these answers ourselves. 007155 MTIZZGS-5 Ea4'7ZlC lin - C'6f'c7c
