Sllllllllllll When one speaks ol' the future to a graduating class of the Evening School, the same set phrases which are usually addressed to Day School graduates cannot be used. The old standbys, such as, the increased responsibilities which lie before you, and, now that you are beginning the battle of life, do not apply. Now that we have graduated, some of our responsibilities will be lighter, as we will not have our weekly assignments of school to worry aboutg and as most of us have already been in the battle of life for some time, we are under no allusions as to what to expect from this source. At one time the Evening School used an advertisement listing some of the graduates who had made an outstanding name for themselves in the business world. This list was quite impressive. The possibility ol the success of each of us should be as great as any of these. The fact that we are graduating guarantees us nothing. It will be by our own efforts alone that we shall succeed. lfVe have two advantages to our credit. First, the training we have received and the knowl- edge we have acquired will certainly give us a fuller understanding ol business and the world in general. Secondly, any individual who has had the desire and the perseverance to sacrihce his time and money to complete a course of this kind will not be a person who can be easily turned aside from his ideals and ambitions. NVhen one iszlooking toward the future of our country as a whole, there are several points which, in my opinion, should be given consideration. NVQ have all heard rumors of a coming depression. One of the principal causes of any depression is over production. YVe definitely do not have that at this time. In consumers' goods there is still a great shortage of heavy commodities, such as cars, washers, and electrical equipment. Another factor Qand the most importantj is the demand of industry itself. During the war years, it was impossible except under unusual circumstances for the nonessential industries to replace any of its worn out equipment or to make necessary repairs and improvements on its build- ings. That situation has created a backlog of orders which should amount to billions of dollars and which will take years to complete. Unfortunately we have factors on the other side of the ledger. There is a restlessness in a large proportion of the people. The war workers are discontented with the lower wages paid by peace time business and keep moving from job to job. There are also many veterans who are not returning to their former positions and who seem to be undecided as to what plans to make lor their future. This rest- lessness has a tendency to create a very unstable labor situation. It is my earnest desire that we assume our re- sponsibilities in this turbulent world and I am sure we shall all reach the goal to which we have aspired. JOHN F. McKAY 40

Delta Sigma Pi was founded to foster the study of business in universities, to encourage scholarship and the association of students for their mutual advance- ment by research and practiceg to promote a closer affiliation between the commercial world and the stu- dents of commerce, and to further a higher standard of commercial ethics and culture and the civic and commercial welfare of the community. The officers for the school year 1946-47 were: Head Master-J. Howell Staleyg Senior Warden-john Boeshoreg Junior Warden-Charles Wattersg Treasurer+Frank Rabi- olag Scribe-Charles Cavellag Chancellor-Harold Fowler. P 'n I 1 I AE P I 1 0 N Nearly forty years ago, Pi Delta Epsilon fraternity was founded on the campus of the University of Penn- sylvania to ripen the casual acquaintanceships of the Evening School into life-long friendships. The or- ganization has steadily advanced, becoming an active body in the scholastic and social life of the school. PDE is a professional fraternity in the field of account- ing, and through its membership in the leading ac- counting offices, it promotes high scholastic attainment in this field. The following officers carried the fra- ternity through a glorious 1946-47 school year: Primus -William E. Colemang Pro Primus-W. Harry Swankg Tribune-John R. Longacreg Quaestor-Frank G. MacKenzie, Magi-Bruce Brady. Il I l I A
