Dear Graduate: Certainly, Congratulations is the thought for the day and is appropriate for each and every one of you. The phrase it is hard to be a teenager today has become so ingrained in our conventional wisdom that it has all but taken on the status of folklore. However, as I have had occasion to observe and be with you, the class of 1974, it seems to me that the vast majority of you are wholesomely unaware that being a teenager today is supposed to be a difficult plight. At about the time you were entering junior high school, student militarism became commonplace on college and high school campuses, and we, here in Quincy, were not completely spared. As you grew and matured, you had an opportunity to weight in the balance the activities and actions of those who were seemingly bent on destroying the school as a social institution. If you had followed the lead of the most militant. I'm sure that our world, our thoughts and your aspirations would be much different than they are now as you anticipate com- mencement. Possibly, the more skeptical among you are thinking: I doubt it! The world and the school is just the same as it was and nothing I can do will change it. Well, I don't think so. Your quiet, one-by-one rejection of a life style of discord as demonstrated to those of us who have been privileged to know and to work with with and for you, that teenagers, high school students, are a mature, and articulate group of young Americans. For all of you, graduation this June should be viewed as but the first of countless commencements yet to come. Commencement need not be limited to graduating from school. Better understood, com- mencement should be seen as the opportunity to meet each new task and job with quenchless enthusiasm. Lawrence P. Creedon Superintendent of Schools 8
