21. Woah! Indelable memories

I looked for my 1970 diary couldn't find it withvall the others. However I know one is elsewhere bc of the color of it, and it wasn't there. Hopefully it (maybe '69, not '70) along the other is somewhere.

I'm curious bc in Wiki it mentioned a lot of HS, and college kids leaving school that day in protest; and we were one (in general) liberal leaning Music & Art HS!

I have a memory of - we were on a hill on one side- I remember going down that hill's long set of stairs which I never did ( not in my direction home) going to something.
Kent State instant protest? Anti-Viet Nam march? 🤔
