We have learned by a living ex- ample that courage is the one virtue that John Fitzgerald Kennedy most admired and practiced. He inspired others to react courageously in their daily lives by doing so himself. Not because he met such a tragic and untimely death are we prompted to build this edition of Footprints to his memory, but rather be- cause he imparted so much vitality, devotion and cour- age to each of us in this world. He has made us realize that not one among us can afford to be lookers-on but that each must stand up for what is good and right and be willing to give his all for that cause. We have chosen to use his words and apply them to our own situation here in Palmer Public School and build a yearbook which will show the true measure of devotion he gave to life and to the world. Thomas Carlyle wrote: The courage we desire and prize is not the courage to die decently but to live manfullyf' In this light, we dedicate this book to the memory of our late President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. It is our wish that you cherish each word and picture of our life here in Palmer School. It is our earnest desire that you search your ovm hearts and minds as you read the pages of Footprints and strive to live up to that standard which President Kennedy so nobly exemplified.

Lovers and thinkers, into the earth with you. Be one with the dull, the indiscriminate dust. A fragment of what you felt, of what you knew, A formula, a phrase remains, - but the best is lost.

Several years ago Henry cast his lot with this twenty-four-hour-a-day business. He is just one of hundreds who make it their business to provide around-the-clock service to TP8zL's 415,000 customers. He may be out repairing lines blown down in a storm-or re-fusing a transformer. He may be out in the neighborhood talking to his friends about our rich American heritage. He may be off in another state trying to persuade a manufacturer to locate a new plant in his town-or away at TP8zL's training center learning how he can improve himself and do a better job for TP8zL and you. But lots of nights lots of Henrys are away from home. And you, our patrons, are the beneficiaries.
