Senator Kennedy stresses student involvement in community affairs. A Visitor From The Senate On Tuesday, November 25, 1975, we enjoyed the dis- tinction of having Senator Edward M. Kennedy come to visit us. The three upper classes jammed into the Daffinee Gym to see the Senator, followed by his secret service men. The applause became heavy at his prediction that the football team would defeat Wakefield High in the annual Thanksgiving Day game. During his visit, students presented him with three gifts: a handmade bowl, an M.H.S. diploma and a Melrose ' 76 shirt. For the next ten minutes he spoke to the students, urging them to play an active role in their government as their counterparts in the 1960 ' s had, and cautioning them not to be disillusioned by the events of Watergate. He hoped that students would help solve the major problems contronting the nation and the world. After speaking, he asked the audience questions involving opinions on the economy, drugs and the upcom- ing Presidential election. He then answered prepared questions. As his visit came to a close, the band played a final song and the Senator left with a smile and a wave. How many of you think that the use of pot has increased? I was wondering what I was going to wear to the Senate tomorrow
