FAMOUS AMERICANS Students at Walt Whitman Junior High School have written many poems about famous men who have inspired their countrymen at one time or an- other in American history. Here we lead off with John Fitzgerald Kennedy, our current president. We include likewise a scattering of personalities: James Madison, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, and Benjamin Franklin. tl IOHN KENNEDY With a strong right arm And a voice of steel, A man has risen to fame. He was a Senator For just thirteen years, John F.Kennedy, his name! He was an underdog for awhile, Until the debates came 'roundg But, when he proved that he was fit, For the Presidency he was bound. Now that John is President, The country'11 move ahead. When we'll look back to the l960's, nThose were our best years,H shall be said. For years to come and centuries thereafter Free men will sing acclaim To the man who won a sacred niche In the U.S. Hall of Fame.
