ROCCO ORLANDO, Principal The Hseason, time and purposei' at hand provide us, very happily, with the opportunity to commend the achievements of the Class of 1967, as Well as your individual and group contributions to our school. Graduation, a significant milestone in oneis educational life, marks not the end of learning, but rather the continuation of learning which will be applied to the goals and high ambitions of each of you. We can only hope that we have contributed in some small measure to those goals and ambitions. Your teachers through the years have striven to provide you with the tools of learning, a solid foundation with which you may continue to explore and comprehend the World about you. If your teachers have been successful, you are leaving Amity touched by the magic that makes you aware of the heritage of mankind - a heritage which has carried man out of the darkness of the cave and placed him on the dim edge of space looking outward, a heritage which says that only an enlightened life is Worth living. That heritage is yours. Rocco Orlando

We appreciate the services you have rendered the school and wish each and every one of the class of 1967 our best wishes for the future in whatever field of endeavor you may choose. Joseph Feher The mission of education is to equip young Americans for life in our democracy and, where possible, to provide leadership capable of meeting the issues which must be faced and settled. Our academic obligation goes far beyond a preparation for a livelihood, whether in business or in any of the professions. It calls for the production of the citizens who have assimilated the best in our cultural inheritance and who with this background can broadly interpret the problems of the present, while assuming responsibility for the guidance of public opinion and public action. We at Amity feel confident that you, the Class of 1967, can look back upon your school years in the knowledge that you have been provided with abundant opportunities to prepare for such awesome responsibilities. Your contribu- tions at Amity in a short span of years give promise of future success in assuming these responsibilities. I wish to express my personal appreciation to you for the good years We have just concluded and to extend to you the chal- lenge of fulfilling the mission of a democratic education. James Peters JOSEPH FEHER, Assistant Principal
