Born liper’s Bullet Cuts Down President icqueline Cradles Dving Husband hnson Swc m In; McCormack No. 2 A Wife ' s Anguish ' V ■ ,r S In 1962, we were born, as John Glenn orbited the moon. When John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, we were taking our first steps and speaking our first words, blissfully ignorant of our parents’ shock and grief. We grew up as the Beatles hit their peak, too young to understand, but still loving “The Yellow Submarine. ” In 1968, we entered our first year of school, oblivious to the tragedies of the spring. As we were first intro- duced to the wider world of knowl- edge through Tom, Jane and Spot, Richard Nixon was elected to his first term of Presidency. In 1969, we all watched breathlessly as the first spacecraft landed on the moon. We heard vaguely about Woodstock, where hippies did what our parents said we had better not do or else, and about some- thing called Vietnam, where soldiers became POW’s and missing in action, or just plain dead. In the fourth grade, we begged our mothers to let us wear the mini-skirts that we scorned a year later. We were more interested in 1972 Olympics with Olga Korbut and Mark Spitz than in the reelection of President Nixon. In 1974, the impact of Watergate and the unprecedented resignation of the President of the U.S. paled against the prospect of entering the Junior High as seventh graders.

T X5 We were more excited over our Freshman Banquet in 1976 than we were over the nation’s Bicentennial, al- though we were all buzzing over the election of a peanut farmer as our nation’s leader. In 1977, Saturday Night Fever got everyone dancing, but by the Twirp we were more interested in who would ask who than the dancing. By 1978, we began an anti-disco movement for those more interested in song than dance. During the Blizzard of ’78, we practiced driving on the empty roads. As we started 11th grade, we were getting our licenses one after another in rapid succession, and cruising all over the town to show off our triumph. 1978 also brought Animal House toga parties and food fights to the high school. While Carter attempted to bring Begin and Sadat together for peace talks, matchmakers were attempting to fix-up their friends with dates for the Junior Prom. As seniors, we knew a special joy as the Pope celebrated us, the young people, and we also knew deep sadness at the death of our Dean, Mrs. Barry. We finally became interested in politics when Ted Kennedy announced his candidacy. As 1980 nears, we are caught up in the rush of tests and college applications, but we are still looking forward to our Senior Prom, and ultimately, to our graduation from high school.
