Blasts from the past, circa 1970

Editor's note: I think you're going to have to double click on the images to really be able to read them.

High school musical this was not. Inside Agitator was by far the best title we came up with for our earnest rantings against The Man. Principals, vice principals, guidance counselors, teachers (with one notable exception and a few lesser exceptions) - all kept blaming our activities on outside agitators. You know, those hippies from Harvard Square. We didn't know any hippies from Harvard Square. Sure, you could buy pot from them if you got really desperate but after getting ripped off one or two times, you learned to plan consumption of what you bought from your regular source better.

Give us some credit. We were the Committee of Concerned Students. We were the Somerville/Medford Student Alliance. We were Inside Agitators, we were the women of the New Dawn.
