arararararx afafaf JOHN F. KENNEDY And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country. John Fitzgerald Kennedy, our 35th President, was born on May 29, 1917 in Brookline, Massa- chusetts. At 43 he was the youngest man ever to be elected President of the United States. His life might have been a quiet and indolent one, but instead he chose the path of action and struggle. For as he said when accepting the nomination for President, The old ways will not do , , . We stand today on the edge of a NEW FRONTIER. But the new frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises--it is a set ofchallenges. He was inaugurated January 20, 1961, to start his new frontier program. It must be said, in sorrow and in shame, that the shocking assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, was a product of our times. As man may, he fought his fight, Proved his truth by his endeavorg Let him sleep in solemn might, Sleep forever and foreverf' America lost a man of great intellectual gifts, a President of strong courage and of great political imagination, The students of Van High School, like youth all over our land, lament the loss of one who embodied the spirit of adventure, fair play and courage. 'From Dirge for a Soldier by George H. Boker, from POEMS OF AMERICAN PATRI- OTISM fCharles Scribner's Sonsy.
