Warner O'Seyre, a Negro schoolteacher who knew many of the ghetto kids, tried...
Most of the Holyoke Center hippies are products of the Commonwealth. A few are from San Francisco, vagabonding around. These tend to be proseletyzers, and the Greater Boston hippies will see them off with some relief. "Love, Love, Love -- what a drag!" commented one Watertown hippie...
