Mindful of their support of school improvement and of the active part they have played in the lives of many students, the EXCELSIOR staff dedicates the 1964 Yearbook to Mr. and Mrs. Robert P. Dunn. Robert and Marie Dunn have devoted their time and energies to the guidance of adolescents through the work of the PTA, Farm Bureau and other civic or- ganizations. As we pause on the threshold of adulthood, we recall illustrious ex- amples given to us by the Dunns in order to aid each of us in the fulfillment of our duties as Americans. Thus it is with sincere gratitude and appreciation that we dedicate this book to two persons who have accepted the responsibilities of safeguarding Our American Heritage. Mr. and Mrs. Dunn discuss the content of a newspaper article which stimulates their mutual inte rests. In combating communism they often refer to the newspapers to seek statistics. Various activities demand much of Marie Dunn ' s time but she is always able to spend much time with her four children. Kelly finds help with her homework while Bridy relates the exciting adventures of a child ' s world. Taking time out from his busy schedule, Mr. Dunn finds relaxation and enjoyment in caring for horses.

In Memoriam President John F. Kennedy A man was slain and the world was plunged into mourning. The man— John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the thirty-fifth President of the United States. Death came suddenly, at 1:00 p.m. on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. President Kennedy died like a soldier, under fire, for his duty and in the service of his country. Speaking to the Catholic Youth of the nation on November 15, 1963, the President told the teen- agers he had come to see them .... not because you are doing well, not just because you ' re out- standing students, but because we expect something from you. In his inaugural address, he made it clear that he expected something from each American citizen. On this occasion he spoke his most famous words, . . . . my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. Intelligence was the keynote of Mr. Kennedy ' s presidency, and with it came a style, flair and excitement, new and different to the White House. He left us a high personal example of intelligence and grace in action. President John F. Kennedy had personal distinction, and his country and the world are the richer for it.
