most profound impact was on young people. The college and high school classes of ’68
were swayed by the man with the shock of w a vy brown hair.

You learned that potato chips, as well as cigarettes, are illegal.
You learned that buck-buck, as well as Red Rover, is a no-no, and
that chicken fights are for chickens only.
You learned that Niles East is a great place — to graduate from.
But also to remember fondly.
Most importantly, you learned how to fight for what you believe in.
You learned to take a stand on the important issues: early dismissal,
dress codes, and police brutality in the cafeteria.
And outside this sphere, a world moved on.
Now you're part of that world. It belongs to the class of '68, to do
with as it sees fit. And Niles East has already told that class what they
can do with it.
