Ancf O Jiere TttJas OAa Zona Aragecfy Friday, Nov. 22, 1963, is a day that will be remembered by all Americans old enough to recall it. On the Mc- Murry College campus it started as an ordinary windy fall day, but at noon it became a day we would never forget—our president was shot. We put our flag at half mast and then tried to comprehend the fact that our president was no longer named Kennedy. We now had President Johnson, who took the oath of office in a plane parked on a runway at Love Field in Dallas as he stood between Lady Bird Johnson and Jackie Kennedy, who wore a pink suit covered with blood stains from the assassinated president. Probably the only bright spot in that black day was the fact that our government is stable and we would go on being governed by the same laws, a fact that as Americans we were too shocked and too grieved to appreciate fully. Most of us lived through that historic weekend watch- ing live television coverage of scenes in Washington, D.C. and scenes from Dallas of a bereaved family of a Dallas ‘policeman who was killed as he looked for the assassin, and the murder of the accused assassin. Television coverage of John F. Kennedy's funeral brought the tragedy right into our living rooms. Prob- ably no family in history had so many people praying for its strength and comfort. For her courage and grace a first lady named Jackie” won a lasting first place in our hearts. 27
