Focus On Present Past Needs For Future, Ilion Grads Told

"For the present," he said "is a very fine line separating the past and the future. Today will be yesterday and tomorrow, today."
Delivering the valedictory address, "Courage, The Universal Virtue," was George Stephen Getman.
Miss Carol Jean Klippel's salutatory address was entitled "Diamonds in the Rough."
