Remedial Work Class of Palmer
Honors Memory John F. Kennedy
In observance of the birthday
anniversary of our late presi-
dent, John Fitzgerald Kennedy,
Miss Eula Stinson, teacher of
the first grade at Palmer Public
School, took a class of her spe-
cial students in remedial work to
Dallas to place a floral wreath
near the place where he spent
his last day as the leader of our
great nation. Joining Miss Stin-
son in commemorating this day
were Carl Harper, Richard Mar-
tin, Donovan Martin, Robert
Hopkins, and Mrs. Bessie Ranton
with whom Miss Stinson makes
her home in Palmer.
This was a memorable occa-
sion for the students who stood
silently in the little park area
while Robert Hopkins places the
flowers in tribute to our late
president.
After reading the life of this
man in their remedial work at
school, the children were anx-
ious to learn of his life. Miss
Stinson took them to the Wax
Museum to see replicas of Mr.
Kennedy and Mrs. Kennedy as
they arrived in Dallas and were
explained the meaning of the
wax figures by their teacher.
They also viewed President
Johnson being sworn in after
Mr. Kennedy’s death. Each stu-
dent then knew more of what
they had read and were more in-
terested in learning more of the
leaders of our country by study-
ing the printed word which is
the goal of the program in our
school this summer.
