CONTENTS • FEATURES FACULTY CLASSES ATHLETICS ORGANIZATIONS FOREWORD This yeai- marks a century of prog- ress in these United States since the enchanting cry of gold was echoed across the nation from far-off Cali- fornia. History tells that with this exclama- tion of promised wealth, many people from every state in the Union started the weary journey across country to the land of gold. However, little reference is made to the solid citizens of the coun- try who chose to remain in their mid- west villages and help to stock the wagon trains that came out of the East to follow the Santa Fe, California, and Oregon trails. Today, people who graduate from the schools of Missouri are living monu- ments to the ' 49ers of old. Believe with us that this Centennial observation of the gold rush days finds Missouri, The Mother of the West, still a vital spoke in the wheels that make our na- tion flourish, and that her schools are no small part of that importance.

DEDICATION To Dr. M. C. Cunningham, Dean of our college faculty, the ' 49er edition of the Tower Yearbook is dedicated. It is largely through his faith in the stu- dents that truly living and lasting work is made possible on the campus. Dr. Cunningham became Dean of the Faculty in 1945, and in the fulfillment of his duties there has gained many friends among the students and the fac- ulty. For the many blessings that he has bestowed upon us, we, of the staff, take great pleasure in making this ' 49er dedication to our good friend, Dean Cunningham. Page 5
