Kennedy IN MEMORIAM nnn ivrmnn Tragedy became reality for Minnetonka students and faculty Friday, November 22, 1963. Noon brought a wave of rumors that the President had been shot. After twenty despair-filled minutes, our greatest fears were confirmed . . . President John F. Kennedy was dead. Men the world over stopped for a while to ponder themselves, their nations, and their relationship to God. The trauma of the assassination permeated the earth, and for a weekend we joined our fcllowmen in paying tribute to the young thirty-fifth President of the United States. President John F. Kennedy was a man of conviction who dedicated his life to develop our nation politically, economically, and artistically. He fought the fight for civil rights even though he never lived to see the passage of his civil rights bill. He believed in the unlimited power of knowledge in the creative hands of youth, and challenged us to strive for this knowledge. The work accomplished by John F. Kennedy must now stand the test of history. He has served his nation and mankind to the best of his ability. Now may his memory inspire all men to do likewise. 4
