world peace. His unprecedented, one-day visit in the U.S. was the culmination of plans by men of all faiths. 7 After Surgery— President Johnson was photographed in a reclining chair at Bethesda Naval Hospital the day after his gall bladder op- eration on October 8. He conducted the work of his office from his hospital room and his Texas ranch during his recuperation. 8 Proud Student—Charles Craig, 19-year-old freshman at Iowa uni- versity, demonstrated his criticism of draft-card burning incidents by displaying his draft card on his jacket with the note: “I'm a draft card carrying American and proud of it. Our role in the Vietnamese war sparked the incidents. 9 Blackout The glittering metropolis of New York City was thrust into darkness on November 9 by a massive power failure affecting hundreds of miles along the eastern seaboard. City residents and commuters were stranded in offices, railroad and subway stations for hours before service was restored. The crippling condition was caused by a faulty relay at a Canadian generating station near Niagara Falls. 10 New Ambassador—Arthur Goldberg was named U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations by the President after the death of Ambassa- dor Adlai Stevenson on July 14 in Ix ndon. Goldberg was secretary of labor under President Kennedy and a U.S. Supreme Court Justice when named to the U.N. post. 1 1 Startling Fashions—Bold and contrasting blocks of color were the youthful fashion note of 1965. The eye-catching designs even ex- tended the length of campus stockings worn with the costumes. 12 Royalty on Tour Princess Margaret and her husband, Lord Snowdon, arrived in New York on November 4 for a whirlwind tour of the U.S. During their visit, they took time out for fun-filled activi- ties such as a ride on a cable car in Frisco and gala parties in Holly- wood and the nation's capital.

Your graduation has become a reality and we offer you congratulations. Our parting wish to you is not for success but rather for meaning in your life. Meaning is something you build into your life out of your own past, out of your affections and loyalties, out of your own talent and understanding, out of the things you believe in, out of the things and people you know and love, out of the values for which you are willing to sacrifice. As you build this meaning into your life you will need a deep awareness of your own power for good - f the privilege and responsibility of the freedom which is yours. Realize, too, your full dignity as a Christian person and respond accordingly to the many causes which need serving— great sweeping causes affecting the peace of nations-- little causes vital to the heart and soul of America as a nation before God. That this meaning of life come to you in its fullness is our own prayer for YOU as we say farewell and God be with you.

Kennedy memorial at Runnymede, England on May 14. Mrs. Kennedy is seated to the left and Prince Philip to the right of the queen. Carolyn Kennedy is seated between the queen and her mother, and Sen. Robert Kennedy stands behind Mrs. Kennedy. 3 Miss Universe—The reigning queen of beauty in the universe dur- ing the year was a representative from Thailand. 4 Bosch Returns—Former Dominican Republic President Juan Bosch was vehement in his address at a rally September 25, shortly after his return to Santo Domingo. 5 H ins in Run-Off—Charles deGaulle polled 55.2 per cent of the vote in a run-ofTelection against Francois Mitterrandon December 19. I he vote gave DeGaulle the French presidency for another 7 years, but the strength of the Socialist-Communistic candidate corroded the popularity of the 71-year-old president.. 6 Agrees to Cease-Fire—Pakistani Foreign Minister Zulfikar Bhutto (right) agreed in the U.N. Security Council on September 22 to ac- cept the Council’s cease-fire order in the undeclared war between Pakistan and India. Pakistan’s announcement came after India had agreed to the order. 7Abortive Coup Fails—Indonesian President Sukarno was toppled from power for a brief 20 hours last fall. He gestured at a cabinet meeting on October 6 during his first public appearance after the coup, which seriously shook his one-man rule. 8 Soviet Winner— Russian author Mikhail Sholokhov was vacationing in the Ural region on October 18 when he heard he had been awarded the 1965 Nobel Prize for Literature. The December award ceremony was held in Stockholm. 9 Return to Desolation—Hundreds of families returned to the wreckage of their homes, destroyed by eruption of Taal volcano, south of Ma- nila, on September 28. Volcanic ash covered a six-milc-squarc area. The death toll was estimated at 500. 10 Price of War—The number of casualties increased as the U.S. stepped up its military action in Vietnam. American advisors look part in many helicopter missions, carrying wounded soldiers, both Vietnamese and American, to copters on makeshift litters for evac- uation to Saigon. 1 1 Reason to Celebrate—Chancellor Ludwig Erhard of West Germany waved to a cheering crowd in Bonn after his Christian Democrats surged to victory in the September 19 parliamentary elections. Mayor Willy Brandt's Social Democrats suffered defeat in the voting. 1 2 Colonial Rule Shaken—Rhodesian Premier Ian Smith broadcast a proclamation of sovereign independence for Rhodesia on November 11. The split from Britain was made in an attempt to insure a white minority rule of the African colony. It was the first such move against Britain since the American colonies broke away in 1776. Britain re- taliated swiftly and took the problem to the U.N. Security Council, which asked all nations to enforce an oil embargo against the Afri- can colony. ' '•� ■ • ‘ . •iLu ' V .
