A clip about the 1964 and 1965 UCLA basketball teams that won back-to-back national championships under Coach John Wooden
Known as the ‘Wizard of Westwood’, John Wooden coached the UCLA Bruins’ basketball team for 27 seasons. He won 10 NCAA Championships, including an unprecedented 7 in a row from 1967-1973. During that 7 year run, UCLA compiled a record of 205-5, including an 88-game winning streak. His teams had four different perfect 30-0 seasons during his career. John Wooden was also an All-American as a player many years earlier and he was the first person ever to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player and a coach.
Remember When
A commercial version of a smiley face with the word "THANKS" and was introduced in 1919 and applied as a sticker on invoices and issued by the Buffalo Steam Roller Company in Buffalo New York.
Per the Smithsonian, the smiley face as we know it today was created by Harvey Ross Ball, an American graphic artist. In 1963, Harvey Ball was employed by State Mutual Life Assurance Company of Worcester, Massachusetts (now known as Hanover Insurance) to create a happy face to raise the morale of the employees. Ball created the design in ten minutes and was paid $45. His rendition, with bright yellow background, dark oval eyes, full smile and creases at the sides of the mouth, was imprinted on more than fifty million buttons and was familiar around the world. The design is so simple that it is certain that similar versions were produced before 1963, including those cited above. However, Ball’s rendition, as described here, has become the most iconic version. In 1967, Seattle graphic artist George Tenagi drew his own version at the request of advertising agent, David Stern. Tenagi's design was used in an advertising campaign for Seattle-based University Federal Savings & Loan. The ad campaign was inspired by Charles Strouse' lyrics in Put on a Happy Face from the musical Bye Bye Birdie. Stern, the man behind this campaign, incorporated the Happy Face in his run for Seattle Mayor in 1993.
