Choate physics laboratory worksheet filled out by Kennedy and signed in pencil at the top, "John F. Kennedy," one page both sides, 7.25 x 10.25, February 19, 1935. Kennedy answers seven questions for a laboratory experiment involving electroplating, examining the chemical effects of an electrical current. He observes the electroplating process ("the cathode gets deposit of copper, nothing to the anode"), makes note of the source of the material ("the copper sulphate"), suggests a method for continuous plating ("keep a bar of copper in solution"), and suggests a method for nickel-plating ("use any soluble nickel compound"). In fine condition. This desirable, early high school worksheet reveals JFK's understanding and grasp of a difficult subject in the physical sciences. Kennedy attended Choate from 1931 to 1935, and was elected as 'most likely to succeed' from his graduating class.
