Senior year, high school. The public address system just started playing the radio news and we thought somebody made a mistake and laughed about it until we heard that they were talking about the death of president Kennedy.
We cancelled all of our programs for a few weeks, including our Homecoming Dance.
I was a sixteen year old junior....somebody came into our bookkeeping class and pulled Mr. Nissen aside, who told us.
Nothing cancelled that day or following, however.
