I was in Grade 8 and the Principal ( a Nun) came in to make the announcement to the one kid that was American. She was, of course, devastated and left for home immediately.

Do recall the next day watching TV live at home, when Oswald got his.

P.s. Perhaps in 1961, JFK and Jackie visited Ottawa (where I lived at the time) He visited the RCMP HQ, which was adjacent to my Catholic Grade School. As testimony to the times, we were asked to provide a school audience and the two of them passed in front of me in an open horse drawn carriage, from about 5 feet away.

Still have the pic, I believe.
