I found this especially interesting, because I'm also a member of the Class of 1970, from the University of Wisconsin. Our yearbook for that year included a scratch and sniff card with the all too familiar smell of tear gas. The gas was used because my campus had huge anti-war protests all four years I attended. By the way, I still have all the yearbooks from those four years.

This might be the coolest yearbook in the history of yearbooks.

It might have been slightly more impressive if the gun had been loaded.
