I don't recall happy faces at all and I went through junior & senior  high 
school and college in the 1960s. I do recall anti-nuclear signs with what  
people later called "peace symbols" and the some anthropology graduates in 1970  
had those symbols on their mortar boards, but the nearest face I can recall is  
the pac man face in the early 1970s.

I  remember them from the early 70s as well.  I was never quite sure whether  
to symbolically associate them with flower power or the 'don't worry be 
happy'  rhetoric of the Johnson and Nixon Administrations.  Perhaps there isn't  
much difference.
