Sharing a private moment. Dan Wahlslrom and Barbara Dignan rolled on a shared |Oke Apart You realized early in your education that school was more than |ust a building. Eagle pride was more than just a cheer. There was a lace for every locker and a teacher for every classroom. Those people were your classmates, advisors, and most importantly your friends. Imagine what school dances would have been without that one person that always said Yes . Those tests looming high on the horizon seemed a little less threatening when you knew that your teacher would be staying after school the day before to answer questions. Teachers and students. Both made a contribution to your high school days. Your teachers provided the framework and your friends filled in the rest. It was easy to lose yourself among 2100 bodies and hours of homework. But over the years, one laugh at a time, you had built up relationships, sharing the good times and the bad Once in a while you found that having someone around to understand how you felt when you lost made more of a difference to you than winning all the time.

A year of difference. In so many ways seniors, juniors, sophomores, and yes. even freshmen grew together to become Kennedy Senior High. The task of educating each and every student was a serious concern for the faculty and the administration. That concern took the form of an in-depth preparation to attend the precinct caucuses for seniors, an assembly for the 200th anniversary of the Constitution for the entire student body, and the egg drop for physics students. Learning also took place outside of the classroom. Your friends gave you an opportunity to grow. You were basically a social creature, and Kennedy was a social setting. With a population of over two thousand. Kennedy was really a small city. There were also the traditions that Kennedy spirit was built upon; Homecoming. Spirit Week, a powerful athletics program, groups and organizations that met the needs of a diverse student population, all added to the difference in ‘88. You recognized the power behind the name. Kennedy Senior High. What you sometimes failed to realize was that you defined that name. Without you and your friends Kennedy would have been only an empty building. You were all part of the Kennedy tradition. Why did you stay up all night tearing confetti for a pepfest? Why did you run 14 miles a day? Why did you drive to Osseo to see a girls volleyball game? Why. on earth, did you spend 12 hours in a small cheerless room finishing your yearbook copy? You did it because of the pride that you took in your school. You made a difference. Opening closing 17 3
