To the Class of 1955: The calendar of youth counts few days which rival in drama, in poignant sentiment, or in genuine signifi- cance the occasion of graduation from high school. You have now arrived at that point; and I hasten to welcome you to the ranks of Durfee alumni. You experience at this moment a certain satisfaction in having met successfully the test of senior high school education. You realize that in your effort you have had the loving guidance of your parents; and your gratitude to them is deep, if not easily expressed. You are eager now to set out upon the broad highway of adult life, to meet new challenges, and to test your ability to bear ever-greater responsibilities. You who have seen the launching of the first atomic powered submarine, who have thrilled to the promised conquest of infantile paralysis need not be reminded that there is yet great work to be done in this world. You are needed. Your training, your integrity, your determination to succeed — these, coupled with an abiding faith in God, will prove your true worth. I know that you will do honor to yourselves, to your parents, and to Durfee. I congratulate you upon your graduation and offer my best wishes for your continued success and happiness. PRINCIPAL.
