To the Class of 1946 Todoy you ore oil Seniors; tomorrow you will go your diverse and various ways into all sorts of occupations. Most of you are bound to succeed in one way or another. Very likely I am now ad- dressing some people who ore to become very famous in the future. Many of you will surprise yourselves and us. When our boys first went into the armed forces we realized that the greater number would fulfill our highest hopes and they did, gloriously; and although we hod been led to expect only disappointment from others, yet, among these were fine soldiers and even heroes. People do change; not always in the right direction of course, but more often for the better than otherwise. For exomple, when Benjamin Franklin was a boy in Boston he was not remarkable and not at all popular. Later on in Philadelphia, however, he became as you know, one of our greatest men and one of the most beloved. You are facing an uneasy and perplexing world, but it is full of fascinating possibilities and adventures. It is my hope that only good will come to you in this chonging world and that you will do your part to moke my hopes come true. HARRY F. SEARS
