To the Class of 1967: Education is a life-long process. One lesson I hope you have learned at Durfee is that you are all individuals. As an individual you create a certain influence on people with whom you work and play. If you are the type who has a grudge against the world and is looking for trouble then trouble is all you can expect. The person who has many friends undoubtedly does much to promote friendliness. The climate of your personal life will depend to a great extent on what you want that climate to be. You are a member of a so-called “Great Society” in which education is hopefully being brought within the reach of all. But one phase of that opportunity may become distorted and out of focus. Education should be regarded as a privilege and not a right. Privileges should be earned, not awarded indiscriminately. Those of you who worked so diligently at Durfee earned the privilege to go on to higher education and the opportunity to learn more. Others of you were concerned with other pursuits and neglected the opportunities offered and are now faced with decisions which will force you into various lines of endeavor. But, as I said in the beginning, education is a life-long process and it is never too late to start. I know the majority of you would admit that your happiest days were spent at Durfee and if you were given the opportunity to start all over you would in all probability do exactly the same things. However, I hope you will all bear in mind that the future is unpredictable. This year is not the end but the beginning of an entirely new world for you. May your prospects be bright and please accept my best wishes for a long and purposeful future. Principal
