PRESIDENT KENNEDY John F. Kennedy was elected by the people of the United States as their youngest and first Catholic President. In his Inaugural Address he outlined what his involvements and commitments would be during the years of his Presidency. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, he began, that the torch has been passed to a new genera- tion of Americans—born in this century, tempered by war, dis- ciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage— and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world. Referring to the need of defending freedom, he continued The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And so, my fellow Americans, the President continued, ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. Finally, the President concluded, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth's God's work must truly be our own. Less than three years later the young giant was dead. History has recorded for us the accomplishments of those years. Among them were: his attempt to obliterate the need of nuclear weapons for war, while promoting their potential for peaceful purposes . . . the sign- ing of the Test-Ban Treaty . . . the removal of the missiles from Cuba ... the establishment of the Peace Corps . . . the introduction of the Medicare Bill. President Kennedy was young and surrounded himself with men who combined youth and potentiality. Then youth is no handicap to our Freshmen. Let them grasp the torch and with deep commitments and broad involvements make the most of their high school years. Julia Heavey '66
