JOHN F. KENNEDY 35th President of the United States of America In Humble Dedication... A rocking chair, a PT-109, a politician, a Bostonian, the New Frontier, “vigah,” an author, a father, a man very much alive—a hate, a madman, a gun, and it was no more. This man, President John F. Kennedy, was truly “our President.” His youthful energy and zest for living were magnetic. “Jack” was the epitome of our New Gener- ation. This man, immensely popular at home and abroad, seemed almost a personal friend to all Americans. His wife summarized his administration with a line from one of his favorite musical comedies: “Don’t let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment that was Camelot.” In his one brief shining term of office he said, ‘Let us begin,” and he did begin. His goal is stated in his own words: “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.” He gave all that any countr y can expect of a person—his life. In honor of this sacrifice we, the class of 1964, dedicate this edition of the Ludlow Lion to John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Let us also dedicate our lives to the ideals he repre- sented. Finally, let us allow Shakespeare to give a tribute to our fallen chief. “This was a man.”
