Charles Schulz created the Snoopy’s World War I flying ace Peanuts comic strip on October 10, 1965. It displayed the classic beagle character in one of his alter-egos—the Flying Ace—in pursuit of the Red Barron on his aircraft-imagined doghouse. Many people credit this World War I tribute to Schulz’ service as a sergeant in the United States Army stationed in Europe during World War II and his desire to create adventure comics.

While Warlords was originally released by Atari, Inc. in 1980 as an arcade game, Warlords 2600 came out for the Atari 2600 console the next year in 1981. Promotional buttons for their major games were released as part of the Atari advertising campaign, including Pac Man, Asteroids, Ms. Pac Man, and Warlords. Since Warlords for Atari 2600, there have been several more updated versions for various consoles.
Warlords is essentially a more strategic and theme-based version of Pong. In Warlords, 1-4 players have a castle, a Warlord, and a moving shield. Each player controls the shield, moving it along the outside of their castle to protect the castle walls and their Warlord inside from the bouncing fireball. The fireball bounces off of the shield, which allows players to both protect their own castle and Warlord while taking aim at the opposing castles and Warlords. Even if the castle walls are not entirely broken down, a player can still be eliminated if the fireball slips by and hits their Warlord. To win, a player must be the last Warlord standing.

Asteroids is an arcade game that was first released in November 1979 by Atari, Inc. Video game designer Ed Logg created Asteroids at the request of Atari senior executive Lyle Rains, who recalls asking, “Well, why don’t we have a game where you shoot the rocks and blow them up?”. Asteroids was one of the first major successes of the golden age of arcade games, which took place during the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. In the game, a player controls a spaceship traveling through an asteroid field – the player must shoot and destroy flying saucers and asteroids, while avoiding various space obstacles.

In 1969, the Bahai'i faith celebrated their 152nd anniversary. The theme of the celebration that year was "Baha'u'llah--His Challenge to Youth," referring to the young Iranian merchant who founded the Baha'i faith in the 19th century. 1969 was considered "youth year" for the Bahai'i, and the theme for the year was "Youth for One World."

The Bahai'i faith has a strong focus on empowering youth, stemming back to its inception. It began when a young Iranian man declared his beliefs, which were quickly spread by the local youth. Since then, the younger generations have been at the forefront of efforts to spread his teachings.

The Wisconsin State Button Society was founded in Milwaukee in June of 1944. The idea to create the button society was conceived by Mrs. Ethel Bishop, who was the chair of the membership committee of the National Button Society, and it was executed at her behest by Henry O. Zander. The society held its first regular meeting on September 2, 1944.

The objective of the WSBS is to improve and educate members and the community on the processes of collecting, cataloging, and displaying a variety of clothing buttons with a focus on furthering knowledge on the historical, cultural, and artistic aspects of buttons. A number of chapters for the WSBS exist throughout Wisconsin, and they frequently coordinate events with the National Button Society.
