I was 8 years old; Port Hueneme, Ca; went out to 10:40 recess; two kids from another class were playing on the bars, smiling and repeating "the President was shot".
We told them "shut-up stupid liars", "stop saying that... you're being bad!".
Went back to class and 22y.o. pretty Miss Stone told us the same thing; .....the school day went on as normal...
BUT... Oh! The Humanity!!!!

I was sooo Angry & disillusioned the week of the assassination of JFK!!!
All my beloved cartoons were preempted; a full week without Huckleberry Hound, Jinx the cat and Quickdraw Mcgraw & Heckle & Jeckle.
We had to resort desperate measures;....like going outside to play.
I'm surprised we all survived.......
