RESIDENT KENNEDY DE D DF I-TSSI-TSS Headline from Harrisburg EVENING NEWS - November 22, T963 Lyndon B. Johnson Above - News photo of fallen president 36th President N7 The year of T963 has come and gone. With it came many historic hap- penings and events. Some of these were bad, some were good, all will be remembered. The class of T964 was directly affected by these events. For possibly the first time, the reality and existence of world happenings enveloped all. There was a new awareness of world leaders and special emphasis placed on leaders of our United States Government. On November 22, l963, a shot from a fifth floor window put an end to the life of the 35th President of the United States. John Fitzgerald Kennedy had been assassinated by a thoughtless individual. His deeds and his life will be remembered by all peoples of the world. So too, will this terrible day in our history be remembered. Probably the most significant achievement of President Kennedy was the signing of the limited nuclear test ban treaty. With an array of eighteen pens in front of him and a circle of Administration and Senate leaders be- hind him, President Kennedy placed his signature to the treaty. ln i96O, at President Kennedy's inauguration, Robert Frost recited one of his poems. Now Mr. Frost is dead also. President Kennedy had shown his admiration by dedicating a library in Massachusetts to the memory of Robert Frost. Although he is deceased, his writings will live on forever. The year T963 was also a year of multiple births. Pictured are the quin- tuplets born to Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Fischer of Aberdeen, South Dakota. The four girls and one boy have brought fame to the small town of Aber- deen. Among gifts to the Fischers were a SlO0,000 house to be built by the Chamber of Commerce and special tax privileges granted by the U.S. Government. The sinking of the submarine, Thresher, is a tragedy that cannot be over- looked. lt remains a mystery, known only tothe depths of the sea. Cleopatra was the most talked about movie ever made. The total cost of the production was forty million dollars. lts stars, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, have created increased publicity for the films. 2 WMM President Kennedy
