Keith Lesh Tells
’58 Graduates Of
Their Advantages
“What are my advantages” was
the theme of the Commencement
•address given last evening at the

most important industries and is
able to spend over nine billion
dollars a year on vacations.
He urged the graduates of high
school and grade school to “open
his parcel of advantages and
study them” and hoped each
