IT WAS A FRIDAY GERALD RUDOLF FORD BE CAME THE 38th PRESIDENT Watergate, whieh had stolen the attention of America had finally reached its peak. It had come to its final resting place—that being the Presidency of the United States of America. SUNDAY, August 4th—President Richard Nixon secluded himself in Aspen Cabin, his rustic four-bed-room retreat. Five aides were with him: St. Clair, Haig, Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler, and Speech-writers Raymond Price and Patrick Buchanan. They discussed the President’s position and finally resignation was suggested. Nixon was against this idea. MONDAY, August 5th—The transcripts were finally released. The telephone conversations on June 23, 1972 between Nixon and Haldeman were the final straw. Thev revealed in detail the President’s involvement in Watergate. People were shocked. TUESDAY, August 6th —Nixon started the day out calmly. He tried to change the subject from Watergate to inflation at the Congress meeting. But as the day continued doubts began to luiild. WEDNESDAY, August 7th —Rumors broke out. Ford was in session being briefed. Headlines told it all. THURSDAY, August 8th—The news was out and Nixon addressed the people that evening. FRIDAY, August 9th—President Nixon’s formal letter of resignation was delivered to Secretary of State Ilenrv Kissinger at 11:35 A.M. GOOD-BYE NIXON; HELLO FORD President Ford has a wife Bette and four children: Mike, Jack, Steve, and Susan. Mike is 24 and has a wife Gavle, who is 23. He studies at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminar in South Hamilton. Jack is 22 and works as a forest ranger in Yellowstone National Park. Steve is 18. At the time of his father's entrance into office he hail an ordinary summer grass-cutting job. Susan is 17 and attends Holton-Arms School in Bethesda, Maryland. The President at 61, weighs 203 lbs. (only four pounds over his football-playing weight); he stays in shape by two daily 20-minute swims. He also often plays golf—scoring in the 90’s. He limits lunch to salad or cottage cheese with ketchup. He does have a weakness for ice cream, though. THE PRESIDENT S VIEWS A CONSERVATIVE IN FISCAL AFFAIRS A MODERATE IN DOMESTIC AFFAIRS A LIBERAL IN FOREIGN POLICY Ford labels inflation as “world Public Enemy No. 1.’’ He advocates “restrictive monetary policy that means, among other things, the disciple of high interest rates.” Ford would like to cut unemployment down. He is strongly opposed to the reimposition of economic controls. He doesn’t like tariffs on goods imported into the United States, provided that America’s trading partners will tear down non-tariff barriers to the free exchange of goods. Ford favors the broad outlines of the Nixon-Kissinger Foreign Policy. He intends to maintain U.S. troops in Western Europe until the Soviet Union agrees to some kind of mutual force reduction. Ford stated in November, I think the United States, because of our influence, our assets, our principles, must be a force on a w orldw ide basis to try to maintain peace, to try to help disadvantaged nations. It makes a better world, and that helps us in the United States.” WELCOME FORD!

The twin crazes of prohibition and bootlegging totally dominated the 1920's, engrossing the entire population, but with the onset of the Great Depression, hysterical frivolity took on unforeseen dimensions. Flagpole sitting became a national sport, and college students took to swallowing hundreds of live goldfish at a single sitting. While never as popular, phonograph record eating provided considerable diversion. Chain letters promising huge fortunes were circulated widely during the depression, and the whole country began playing miniature golf. World War II provided a sobering influence. The population put aside the frantic pursuits of the previous two decades and began saving string and aluminum foil, and blacking out huge cities at night. By the end of the war.

Backyard bomb shelters heralded the I960 s. a decade of political consciousness that was captioned by pithy bumper stickers of every persuasion. Frisbees were thrown everywhere, underground newspapers were published, and rock music became even more a part of everyday life. The 60 s were years of unrest, assassinations, turmoil, riots and social change. They left America stunned, tired and ready for the 70s and the decade's biggest fad: nostalgia for the remnants of every other decade of the century. w®ei n m ®Kr June 17, 18%.

The Uncle Sam Chronicles As a young nation. America didn't have all that much time for fads and crazes, since most of us were more concerned with mundane things like clearing fields, building cabins, farming, raising children and working. When people did get together for a little fun. well, there were always witch trials, or killing buffalo from the observation car of a transcontinental train. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were patrons of cock fighting, and by the mid-18(X)'s phrenology became popular. Generally, however, there just wasn't very much to do. Leisuic industries didn't boom until the 40 hour work-week became widespread. Cycling was introduced in the 1860's. The first were unicycles known as Flying Yankee Wheels. They were popularized by gymnasts, but sales dropped when people began to discover that it took a gymnast to ride one. High-wheeled bicycles followed, and the taller a rider was. the bigger a front wheel he could straddle. Short men took up tricycles. By the turn of the century the bicycle's back wheel was the same size as the front and bicycling became the first true fad. followed quickly by roller skating, and then roller polo. wrhich was a kind of ice hockey on wheels. When the Civil War ended, fighting men brought home a wide assortment of diseases, and an insatiable demand for remedies and patent medicines. Cures were invented for liver ailment, falling hair, tuberculosis, flabbiness, impotency. indigestion, cancer, polio, and warts. You could order any of them from a wholesale house in Chicago or St. Louis, for 25c plus postage and handling. Two reasons for the popularity of these remedies were the most common ingredients: alcohol and opium. Even if people weren't actually cured, at least they didn't care so much. Trading Cards swept the nation in the mid-1880's. depicting baseball players, politicians, and music hall performers. Playing cards were circulated with caricatures of political figures, and there were even trading cards that pictured patent medicines. Jazz music's journey up the Mississippi from New Orleans to Chicago is well chronicled, but by the turn of the Twentieth Century it was another indigenous musical form. Ragtime, that was sweeping the country. Nothing remotely as popular appeared on the musical scene until Bill Haley. Fats Domino, Chuck Berry and their friends blew open the 1950 s.

Whiting, Indiana Phone: 659-2042 CONGRATULATIONS TO IDEAL SENIORS FROM WHITING P.T.A. Z“ODDS” AND Z“ENDS 174 GALLIVAN Raymond Patrick Gallivan, bom on St. Patrick’s Day in 1903, came to Whiting in the Spring of 1922. At the time he was a timekeeper with the English Bros. Construction Co. Whiting School System contacted him in 1928 and he began coaching. In 1934 his persistance resulted in a new football field. In 1948 he led his team to Whiting’s first state football cliainpionship. And also in 1954. He was the principal at Whiting from 1955 to 1965. He was superintendent from 1965 to 1968. In 1973 Gallivan was elected to the Indiana Football Hall of Fame. Gallivan died September 15, 1974. Whiting’s football field was renamed the Ray P. Gallivan Field on October 11th, 1974. 175 24-6-8 WE WENT The year was 1974, the game was football, and the Oilers were doing great! They were led into each game by the fearless Coach Crnkovich. Proudly he stood, coffee cup in hand, he had made it down state. The team, filled with excitement, went down to the Semi-Final Playoff to meet their opponent. The opponent turned out to be Garrett. And the game turned out to be tough. The teams seemed to be closely matched as they managed to hold each other back from scoring except for one touchdown by Garrett. It turned out to be the only one. Final score: 7-0, Garrett’s favor. But we didn’t feel defeated; because we’d make it down state! NAME POS. WCT. HT.
