I People are what they are because of what was. Therefore they should bow down to what was and take it and say it’s good ... or should they? — Carl Sanburg . . . For many years we have been given the answers. The time has come for us to ask our own ques- tions and find our own answers. As long as we do not sit back and accept traditions blindly, as long as we challenge and make our own decisions regarding the propriety of traditions, we, the Class of 1972, will help to create a society in which tradition and progress will be evenly and soundly balanced. — Excerpt froffi the salutatory address of Susan Wilber . . . And even if our hearts have awakened to the spirit of beauty, is there yet, within us, peace? If a man has not yet become the person he has long desired to be, can he be truly happy? Doesn’t every man harbor dreams within his soul, earnest longings to do something better than that which he has done, to be someone worthier than he is? — Excerpt from the valedictory ad- dress of Mary Blaszko Mr. Torre leads the Commencement Exercises for the Class of 1972. Mr. Berger accepts a plaque from Mr. Torre in appreciation of his many years of dedicated service with Enrico Fermi High School.
