 Thou art a monument without a tomb. Ben Jonson DEDICATION We dedicate this book to the memory of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. IN MEMORIAM To see a man so kind, so good diminished in your neighborhood, someone the world has loved and cheered, an image of a man not feared. A mass of flesh which bore Our Lord within his breast, Christ was adored. He did so much for everyone and Russia’s heart he also won. Where e’er he traveled, near and far, he was guided by God’s brightest star; hands were shook, smiles were cast, A memory now; this man has passed. For Adam, God created Eve, But our President was made to leave his wife, John Jr., and Caroline, to carry on his works, in time. Once there was a cheerful nation rich with goodness in God’s creation gaily riding in a motorcade unknowing, for him, a bullet was made. People, who cheered, now have cried their tears, from the world, they couldn’t hide. To serve your country, he hath said; this he did, and now, he’s dead. A form of truth and bravery like Lincoln, banished slavery in different manner; this we know, forcing discrimination to go. His eyes now shut; his lips so still, this innocent form brings a silent chill while now his lifeless body lies amongst the heroes in our tear-filled eyes. Jo(tn Pefock Page 3

THEME During the past year, the Seniors studied and enjoyed poetry. They were enriched by this experience. They have, therefore, chosen the marvelous expression of poetry as the theme of PATHWAYS. Page 2 Your hands arc like pearls, Bringing forth beauty that is truly magic. You can describe so thoroughly The ways of a little girl: The ways of all things both mild and tragic. Your eyes are like the sun, Bestowing life to that which lives And that which will never live. You can look at a rose And your description can be surpassed by none. With the heart you see and give. Your ears are like sensitive instruments Receiving sounds from steadfast stars, Making them beat in our hearts. You find light in darkness; In silence you find sound and contentment. Be there whisper, you will find it Though it be near or far in every part. FMrlecti Davis
