^^ $*r fc...With loving hearts and willing minds,The Bennett way we trod,Not only for ourselves, our school,And country, but for God.In this great world, we are just one groupFrom all locales and climes,But all we do reflects the life,And living in our times:A mass march at the CapitolThe aim: to make men freeAnd happy Christmas sisters joinedAround a shining tree.The dormitories in the night.Unbroken Bennett green.The old library filled with light.A beautiful May Queen.The stately reverent chapel whereIn thankfulness we went,For having known the goodness ofA Pope and President.But after darkness comes the dawnIn which we turn from sorrowAnd ever forward, walk to faceA promising tomorrow.We think of leaders strong and trueWho led us through this year.The students and the faculty,Always prepared and near.Miss Idle Gossip's resting placeBeside the Bennett BellThat pealed oh so majesticallyA sound we know so well.But just how much can one poem say,Or one yearbook impart?The memories not found in hereLive deep within the heart.

that we see our dreams materialize.

ALMA MATERBennett, now our voices raise,Harmonies of grateful praise;We, thy daughters find thee fair,Loyally thy colors bear,Truth and honor in thy halls,Faith and love within thy walls;Every dear to us thou art,Firm within each loyal heart!

CHORUSAlma Mater, now we sing,Hail the light that thou doest bring;True we've been throughout the past;True to thee while life shall last.May we never smirch the goodGendered here in sisterhoodMay we ever choose arightGuided but by honor bright;Ever lovelier shalt thou live,As thy daughters freely give:Ever glorious above,Testimonies of our love.'Til the evening shadows fall,'Til we heed our last clear call,Mother, may we offer theeLives of worth and purity?Go with us throughout the years,Smile on us in doubts and fears;Bless us with thy tender care,Mother- -fairest of the fair!

,4 TRIBUTE TO JOHN F. KENNEDYA LIGHT HAS GONEWhat be the tears and the turmoil that I see;A light has left the world for all eternity.Let the nation and the world pay homage unto him,Our leader, from which the freedoms of the world did stem.Great a man so he was in his memorable years,

Expressed so deeply in four long days of tears.Hail to our chief, in silence may he rest,

His light never be forgotten, his years be the best.

So be the trend of freedoms never-ending fight,That lived within his soul and come to be his might.Mourn not his death, for it t'was not in vain;The liberties of man n'er be so easily slain.His beliefs and his principles shall live forever;As he fought so hard in each of his endeavors;True Democracy shall miss him indeed,And rely on his philosophies in time of need.A shot! A scream! was all that it took;A sob, a tear, and then a mournful look.The President is dead! May God save the world,

Defend his beliefs, less be there more turmoil.Then; six white horses on a sunny day,Rode our chief in silence to lay.The nation drowned in its terrible shame

While forever upon his grave will burn the eternal flame.His journey as in Christ's, was to save ALL mankind;

So cry not any more and look not behind.Life will never cease to exist, though GOOD men die;

The nation and the world forget just why.May God protect our country, in its years yet to be,And let not his death hamper our strive for universal libertyFor such was his life; may generations unto sing

Of John Fitzgerald Kennedy Long live the King!Michael RobinsonDudley High School

Dr. Willa B. Player . . . President

The historic year of 1963 illustrates atruth we know all too well. There are manyturns a road can take in a brief span of time.No person can know what the future has instore. This is why it is important to takeevery opportunity to dramatize the pleasantand rewarding events in human experience.

"Life in Our Time s ," an appropriatetheme chosen by your Yearbook Committee,provides a pleasant record of the collegiateexperience of the Bennett Students. For theseniors, in particular, it will be a resource forremembering the care-free, fun- chucked daysyou often thought to be difficult and terriblydemanding. They were this, too.

In the future you will have many occasions to review the undergraduate years - to dream aboutthem - to long for them - and perhaps to cry a little. The experience of remembering will be asource of strength each time you face a new and uncertain circumstance.

We have many reasons to congratulate you, the seniors, for your achievements. You are alovely class. We hope that a good life is in store for each of you. We are grateful to the Yearbookstaff for providing this record which allows you to recall many experiences you will be glad to re-member over many, many years.
