DEDI CA T I ON Ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country. These words will live in the hearts and minds of Americans for centuries to come. They were spoken by President John Fitzgerald Kennedy in his inaugural address of 1961. They have a deep, symbolic meaning behind them, they show us the nature of a man, a great man, who was willing to work for the good of all. This yearbook is dedicated to this man by the class of 1964, in me mor y of all that he accomplished to make the world a safer place for people to live in. It is hard to find words adequate to express the deep grief which is felt by all Americans ove r the loss of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. He was more than a symbol of freedom, he was abeacon of hope for the American people and the world. His eagerness, wisdom, and courage will serve as a guide for the generations to come. He may be gone from the world, but he will live forever in the hearts of the American people. His t e n a c it y and determination helped to bring the United States through many critical situations successfully. His b r ave ry and leadership will never be forgotten. The nation has lost a great leader, and the worldhas lostagreat man. P.F.R. Four

F ORE WORD Joseph Addison once wrote, I consider an human soul without education like marble in the quarry, which shows none of its inhe r ent beauties till the skill of the polisher fetches out the colors, make s the surface shine, and dis- covers every ornamental cloud, spot, and vein that runs through the body of it. And like the marble in the quarry, we, the class of '64, entered the corridors of Conestoga Valley four years ago as a young, impressionable group filled with high ideals but lacking one very basic necessity--the polisher, education. And so we set out to attain our goals and high ideals always with an eye to the future and a foot in the past, but continuously acquiring an education--afoundation upon which to build, a stepping stone from an idea to a reality, a power- ful force behind achievement. As you turn the pages of this annual and look upon the members of the cl as s of '64, you will see that no written theme has been followed, but as you gaze upon those seniors who will graduate in June, you can be sure we will be ready and willing to take on the world outside be c aus e we have seen fit to obtain the most important factor in a changing life--education.
