    Student Handout Oakland Museum of California What’s Going On? California and the Vietnam Era Lesson Plan #2 1968: Year of Social Change and Turning Point in Vietnam and the U.S. Essay on 1968 and Oral History There is a whole 1968 Oral History website at http://www.stg.brown.edu/projects/1968/index.html, created by Brown University. English and Oral History http://www.stg.brown.edu/projects/1968/notes/sharonEssay.html Sharon Schmid, English Teacher, South Kingstown High School In 1968, I was a high school junior experiencing that early independence that comes from getting one’s driver’s license, dating, cheering for the junior varsity basketball team, and studying at Pilgrim High School. Friends and music, of course, were my priorities. In 1967 on Saturdays in the fall, all my friends went to the football games to meet with friends and cheer on the team—and sometimes we won. Tuesday and Friday evenings, eleven of my classmates and I would cheer for the Pilgrim High Junior Varsity Basketball Team—I think I can still do the roll call cheer today because we practiced it so much. I was always hoarse from shouting for one team or another. Sometimes we went to the movies. The Sound of Music played at the Warwick Cinema for months and Goldfinger played at one of the downtown theaters. Most of the sports were for boys except for field hockey and gymnastics. And on Sunday night at 8 o’clock, we would watch the Ed Sullivan Show which had been broadcasting the best musical groups since the 1964 first- time showing of the Beatles.
