Dedication To the memory of our beloved President, friend to all mankind. l9l7-1963 John Fitzgerald Kennedy We, the graduating class of 1964, wish to dedicate our yearbook to the memory of our late President John F. Kennedy. As freshmen, we avidly followed Mr. Kenr1edy's campaign for the presidency. We felt close to him during the long election night and during the ensuing activi- ties that marked his first months in office. Because of his youthfulness and his young family, we had a firm allegiance to his ideals. We rejoiced at Mr, Kenne- dy's triumphs, felt his anxiety for the safety of the country, and sorrowed with him at the loss of his infant son. We knew inexpressible grief at his death. Through the long struggle of his political career, Mr. Kennedy kept his re- ligion strong and open. If we are ever tempted to denounce our faith in order to get ahead, we will remember the first Catholic president and be strengthened by his example. Equal rights were an important part of his philosophy. In the Inaugural Address he stated he was, unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed. No matter where we go or what we do after graduation we should remember that, the trumpet summons us again V. . . to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle . . . a struggle against the common enemies of men: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself. Of the thousands of words written about Mr, Kennedy, those of E. B. White in The New Yorker seem most memorable. When we think of him, he is without a hat, standing in the wind and the weather. It can be said of him, as of few men in a like position, that he did not fear the weather, and did not trim his sails, but in- stead challenged the wind itself, to improve its direction and to cause it to blow more softly and more kindly over the world and its people.
