1 Nothing Now Is Left But A Majestic Memory lt had been a dismal day. The weather was dreary, the Raytown-South football game was cancelled, fifth hour class was long. The early excitement of the oncoming football game had been dampened, both by the rain and the announce- ment of the postponement of the event. All wished for the day to end. For most, the day was far from ending. A few moments before the termina- tion of fifth hour, a crackle was heard on the intercom system. Mr. Hanks' voice became au- dible and suddenly silence prevailed. Shock and disbelief swept over the school. He said he's been shot! The President's been shot! A few minutes later the terrible, frightening news was revealed. The President was dead. President John Fitz erald Kennedy's life was ended November 22, 1933, in a large hospital in Dallas, Texas. His visit to Dallas was to have been a victory march, a political achievement. Instead, the journey became the longestPresident Kennedy was to take--a journey across time and space, across the boundaries of life into death, from mortality to immortality. He left behind a devoted wife, two young children, and his beloved country. President Kennedy personified the ideals of American youth. He was idealistic, vital, tough, and .determined. He flushed out much of the moldering age in our government, and innovated new frontiers of progress. He understood well the force and drive that was often lying asleep in the young people of America, and he told us, Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. He brought the problem of equal rights for all citizens out of the closet and into the hearts and minds of the younger citizens. He realized that it was our generation which will have to live with this question, not hisg and he trusted us to reach the right answer. g Now the sharp point of remembrance is dulled, and the memory of a great man lives in our minds. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was not a god, he was not perfect, but he gave our generation an ideal to remember and to emulate now that the torch is passed.

Re- member these years--they are the best times of your life! How many times have these words been directed towards us? And yet, when we look upon the wonderful times that we enjoyed this year, we suspect that these words are correct. What a treasury of memories are stored here! Registration was a happy reunion of old friends separated by summer jobs and vacations, ex- clamations over new teachers, and puzzlement over being scheduled into psychology when we signed up for literature. The annual battle with the lockers began, competing for importance with the daily skirmishes in the lunch line. As the year flew by, the dances blended together in a lovely memory of beautiful girls and handsome escorts whirling around on a starry evening. Excitement brewed over the exchange program, the dramatic productions, teen towns and as- semblies. The year l964 was a year full of these vivid memories, treasured here forever. i l 1 WP, .AS 'ff' , ,ff
