Senator John F. Kennedy speaking at Washington College on May 11, 1060, before an audience of more than 1000, while seeking his party ' s nomination for President. IS We, as young adults, are perhaps more deeply affected by the death of John Fitzgerald Kennedy than any other portion of the nation, for to us, he was a symbol of the strength and vitality of youth. We felt especially close to John Kennedy for he was young, he was strong, and he was courageous. He made youth a period of life that was worth- while in its own right, and not simply a period before usefulness to one ' s coun- try. John Kennedy brought us to the forefront and made us a useful and inte- gral part of the United States of America. The burdens of the death of ' our ' President weigh heavily upon us as we consider the proximity of our assumption of the leadership of the nation. We are faced with the burdens, the problems, and the responsibilities handed to us by our ancestors. We are bewildered when we consider the irresponsible actions of a man just a few years older than our- selves. We are disillusioned when we consider the annihilation of such strength and power by this man ' s several bullets. At this point, we view the national affairs with a critical eye, for we may objec- tively view the governmental operations. We are dubious about the fate of our nation for we have seen our symbol and standard removed. Where shall we look now? When we ask that question, we must look to ourselves for the answer, for we must, in the words of our late President, Think not of what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. ' We must think of John Ken- nedy ' s death as a trigger to action. We must make sure that his attempts toward peace and universal brotherhood were not in vain. — Joyce C. Beacham THE WASHINGTON ELM November 27, 1963

Concerts and assemblies make up a large part of the social activities of Washington College. Through opera, violinists, pianists, and speak- ers to an occasional attempt at folk music, the Student Senate (in conjunction with, and per- haps, prodded by, the administration) does its best to make each member of the Washington College family well-rounded . For the second straight year, the biggest effort made was to bring the Baltimore Symphony to Chestertown. Fine. Higher culture should be a part of college life; but, the very fact that the students would rather have a more varied diet is illustrated by the lack of students at the event. Anyway, one year of the Baltimore Symphony should be enough for anyone, and it apparently was. Those Senate members will do anything to claim that students were at the concert. 19
