Durfee High School - Durfee Record Yearbook (Fall River, MA)

To JOHN T. CROWLEY, teacher, advisor, friend of the students, we, the graduating class of 1 955, dedicate our Record Book. Year after year Mr. Crowley not only performs his required duties as teacher of English and Journalism, but serves also as faculty advisor of the Hilltop and editorial advisor of the Record Book. Indeed, without the time and energy he devotes to these two publica- tions, they could hardly be as successful as they are. Thus, through the service of teaching and through the medium of Durfee's publications, Mr. Crowley has given to every student who has ever sought it, his advice and guidance, enriched with knowledge and wisdom, discernment and experience. May this dedication, then, serve as recognition of this man as an educator; recognition of the services he renders every day and the efforts that attest his devotion to our beloved Durfee and its students. May it be that through this dedication the qualities of sincerity, honesty and faithful service may be fully esteemed. May this one page of the Record Book symbolize the recognition he so richly deserves for all that he has done for us while students of Durfee, and be significant of the honor and satisfaction we have had in knowing him throughout these years.
