 rWAJ to Trad it ions Feeling the moment, senior Laura Brom bubbles with enthusiasm as she enjoys the chaohc festivities ot the Spirit Week pepfest; one of the many events adding to the excitement of Hawaiian Day. 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.
