DR. A. LYNN MYERS Principal YOU ARE ALUMNI NOW After the commencement exercises, the members of the Class of 1939 are a part of the large body of alumni of Brown Preparatory School. Most of the members of the class will go to college, the rest will enter real life at once. One of the regrets is that we do not get to see more of our alumni after graduation. Now and then we see news items about certain ones in the newspapers. Within recent months we noticed that one was elected to Con- gress, another, after twenty-five years of service in the Legal Department of the Philadelphia Electric Company, was given a testimonial dinner, attended by over three hundred persons, who are prominent in the company and in the city, another was elected as General Counsel of the Philadelphia Inquirer , another was on the list of Honor Students of Lafayette College. Naturally, such favorable news about our alumni gives us a great deal of satisfaction. We expect to hear favorably in years to come from the Class of 1939. Although economic conditions in recent years are not as favorable as they used to be, and there is a great deal of pessimism about, the opportunities of success for youth today are still great. Some maintain that we must have a planned economy instead of a free economy, socialism instead of democracy, communism instead of capitalism, if the majority of the people are to attain the abundant life. On the other hand, modern psychology informs us that man is not a help- less cog in a machine, but can be as self-reliant today as in the past. It is estimated that ten million people have read Gone With the Wind. So many have read the book, no doubt, because Scarlett O'Hara is an example of personal triumph over social insecurity. Neither war, disappointment in love, scandal, nor starvation discouraged her. She remained self-reliant. Whether one is endowed by nature with one talent or ten talents, a desire to make most of one's self is all that is necessary. Such a person is a success. 10
