For Reference Not to be taken from this library J Crawford. NJ. 07016 CRANFORO PUBLIC LIBRARY N.J. 2 1 3 9520 00116 7230 f\ high school yearbook should be more than merely a record of the seniors, their activities, and the work that they have done in their high school years. It should also relate and record the important events of the world which personally affect the students. The tragedy of November 22, 1963 is an event which can neither be forgotten nor ignored. Our yearbook is an attempt to correlate the prin- ciples of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy with the everyday events of our school life, so that we may dedicate ourselves to the achievement of the goals which he has set forth. We have chosen excerpts from the words of our late President to show the relationship between our activities and the more universal concepts with which he dealt. GOLDEN C 1 9 6 4 Cranford High School Cranford, New Jersey "Let the word go forth from this time and place to friend and foe alike that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Ameri- cans . ." Thus did John Fitzgerald Kennedy in his first and, as fate has cruelly ordained, his last inaugural address, personify his pro- found understanding of the role each generation plays as the link between our historic past and the promise and peril of the future. It was this recognition that no nation may rest upon the laurels of past greatness, coupled with his proud confidence that this generation could effectively carry the burdens of leadership which made John Kennedy a symbol to both young and old, but most especially to the young. As the first national leader born in the twentieth century, he seemed to represent the promise of as yet unperceived tomorrows. His con- fidence made us strong; his energy made us feel invigorated; his strength made us feel more secure. Because of these qualities, all of us, Democrat and Republican alike, came to admire him in ways as yet unrecognized until that terrible, tragic November 22nd. With his untimely death, we have felt cheated, as if fate had snatched from us the promise of our future. If this vibrant, handsome confident "child of destiny" could be so cruelly cut down, could not the same capricious destiny doom our nation, our civilization, our world? During those terrible four days, those of us who were able to think at all, could not but feel that all that we hoped for lay broken and withered like the "power and glory" of our dead leader. But, as he had led us during his life, his own words have helped to sustain our confidence in the destiny of our nation and people. For, did he not quicken our sense of historic purpose when on a bitterly cold day in January three short years before he issued this call to greatness: "In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maxi- mum danger . The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world." In light of his faith and his confidence, can we do any less? -MR.

Let the word go forth from this time and place to friend and foe alike that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans born in this cen- tury tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of their ancient heritage and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed and to which we are committed to- day at home and around the world.
