”So when a great man dies, For years beyond our ken, The light he leaves behind him lies Upon the paths of men.” Charles Sumner The news of the untimely death of President John F. Kennedy, (pictured here as he was photographed during his presidential campaign in Astoria), saddened us, the students of Astoria High, very deeply. Only a few short weeks before his assissination school had been dismissed so that we could be present at Tongue Point for his visit. We remember him with pride. 1

Fore ward Saluting the flag, observing school traditions, and wearing club pins or class rings are the evident signs of the loyalties of each student for his school and country. But sometimes the spontaneous actions of teenagers portray their deep emotions more clearly. The tragic deed of November 22nd produced reactions which proved our loyalty to the President of our country. Breaking classroom routine, the announcement on the P.A. system that morning brought all academic activity to a halt. When a later report confirmed our fears that John F. Kennedy had been assassinated, we joined the nation in mourn¬ ing. Still stunned by the inconceivable events of the past week, in place of the usual Thanksgiving assembly, students prepared a special memorial service in tribute to the slain leader of the United States. Loyalty to country has been engendered in us since child¬ hood. Now as high school students, becoming more mature in our thinking, we feel moments of pride when we pledge alleg¬ iance to the flag in assemblies or stand before a ball game when the national anthem is played and Old Glory” is raised. This pride carries over to community projects such as the toy drive for needy children and sending Christmas cards co our sister city, Walldorf, Germany. As AHS’ers we defend our school when we hear disparaging remarks from outsiders. Faithful club and committee members work hard on money¬ making and other projects for the year’s program. Loyalties to country, town, school, and friends give us the satisfying feeling of belonging.
