o J.F.K We have left our footprints, heavy or light, that record another year of history at Malden High, where each day has been a new experience, an investment in the future. It has been a time of many decisions — many maturing experiences; but like the footprints of our great leader, the late President John F. Kennedy, we hope that our own footprints have developed in the image of his. When he died, a little bit of us died, too. He symbolized scholarship, service, and achievement — all characteristics necessary in helping us prepare for adult life. At first it took only one glimpse of his ready smile, one cheery Hello” on television, to convince us that here was a trusted 11 friend — a friend especially to the young people. Then, we began to realize the wisdom and dignity of our great leader. Just as President Kennedy is a symbol, so too, may we, not yet wise but trying to obtain wisdom through perserverence and scholarship, be a symbol of M.ll.S. PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY May 29, 1917 — November 22, 1963 7
