Dear Members of the Class of 1972: D Education must shift into the future tense. These are the very simple words -- but simple words whose collective meaning is more powerful than the hydrogen bomb -- which bring to a conclusion Chapter. 18 of Alvin Tof- fler's book, Future Shock. In meditating about what I might write, my eye was attracted to the cover of this book: and in recalling the author's message, I was haunted by a state- ment on the cover: This book can help us survive our collision with tomorrow. Putting together the quotations in the first two paragraphs above, I would like to paraphrase a combination of these with this resultant advice to the Class of 1972: To prepare yourselves for total survival- physically, mental- ly, emotionally -- in the world of the 21st Century, each one of you must continue to pursue an educational program which will enable you to absorb the tremendous energy of that collision with the future awaiting you after you leave the halls of Exeter High School. For some of you, this will mean an additional four years of post-secondary education. For others, it should mean a less formal, but nevertheless an ever ongoing pursuit of knowledge and skills, enabling you to adapt to occupa- tions and life-styles now only in the think-tank stage of our sociologists, economists, and statesmen. Whatever form your continuing education may take, of this I am certain: my generation, fast moving into our December years, is looking to each one of you to come up with answers to the myriad of problems which are rapidly taking civilization as we know it on a collision path with future annihilation. What is the Class of 1972 going to do about eliminating warfare as a means of settling international disputes? How will you prevent our affluent society from choking itself or poisoning itself by the polluted air we breathe and the infested water we drink? What sacrifices are each of you willing to make to help stabilize the burgeoning population statistics and guarantee your children and my grandchildren enough square footage of Mother Earth to afford a reasonable standard of living? Perhaps most important of all, what active role will you take in building bridges of understanding and love between your fellow humans whose race, religion and nationality are differ- ent from yours ? I am certain that the possession of an Exeter High School diploma does not qualify you to begin to solve these seemingly imsurmountable problems. In fact, I confess that I must agree with the writer of Future Shock who alleges that our schools face backward toward a dying system rather than forward to the emerging new society. But yet, on the other hand, l submit to you that the best advice I can give to the Class of 1972 is to chart a course of a life-long education, realizing that if any single member of your graduating class ceases learning to prepare himself for tomorrow's world, he also places every other member of your class in greater jeopardy -as your generation surges forward with geometrically increasing speed toward that collision rendezvous with the future. In his classic volume, The Outline of History, Herbert George Wells said that human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe. Mr. Wells wrote those words in 1920, two years before your high school principal - the writer of this message - was born. If it was true fifty years ago - in a world which could be smug in its ignorance of the still- to-be unleashed power of the atom and the future shock of the longest and costliest wars in our history - how much more of a truism is it today! Class of 1972, you hold in your hands not only a diploma, but also a chal- lenge which your faculty and loved ones place in your charge upon gradua- tion. That challenge is this: step forward boldly into the future, equipped with the good education you now possess, determined to grow daily as you take on those -skills and understandings which will avoid the catastrophies of the future and bring you into the brilliance of the glorious promise that awaits your mature years in the dawn of the 21st Century. Good-bye, and Cod bless each one of you. Sincerely, Claude W. Dundore
