“So Let Us Begin Anew 99 John Fitzgerald Kennedy May 29, 1917 November 22, 1963 John Fitzgerald Kennedy is gone. In the words of his wife: . . all his bright light is gone from us. The Senior Class of 1964, as well as the entire student body, mourns President Kennedy with a personal grief. This was the youthful President whom we admired, whom we identified as our own; this was the husband, the father, the son, the leader, the brother, the friend. The Senior Class wishes to erect a memorial to this President—a memorial that will last forever. And so we dedicate our lives anew to the Christian ideals which he stated in his quote: .. asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must trulg be our own. 5

Wildwood Catholic is in mourning. As her flag billows at half-mast, the building reflects the mood of a nation. The tall citadel of Wildwood Catholic towers over our island beckoning all to higher education. Since her doors first opened sixteen years ago, Wildwood Catholic has added to her physical structure as well as her intellectual. But no matter how large she becomes, she will always remain the second home for all her graduates. As the Senior Class, preparing for graduation, thinks of Wildwood Catholic, the words of our graduation song echo in our hearts: Til the time of returning again Farewell, farewell til then. 4

HIS EXCELLENCY ARCHBISHOP-BISHOP CELESTINE J. DAMIANO His Excellency, Celestine J. Damiano, Archbishop-Bishop of Camden, performs the difficult task of keeping the schools of the diocese functioning. The Archbishop holds a special place in the hearts of Wildwood Catholic stu- dents. He has taken time from his busy schedule to pre- side at our commencement exercises for the past three years. His inspiring messages have launched our grad- uates on to greater heights, to higher goals. His excel- lency takes an interest in each school that comes under his care; every school has benefited from his loving provi- dence. The Archbishop will always be a welcome guest at Wildwood Catholic and hold a place in the hearts of each student.
