The Conning Tower of 1936 ODE OF THE CLASS OF 1936 WorJs -f1AYtjv»eT«ti ScWtSSrv -Bor ) G ve Our eager feet stand still, As we pause the threshold o’er, To sing to thee, dear Plymouth, Our hvmn of love once more. To thee we came, a searching band; We gained from thee gleams Of life enriching, service fine, Of Beauty, Truth, and Dreams. And as we leave, dear Plymouth, Our torch we brandish high, Emblem of strength eternal, And mem’ries that never die. As our voices blend in last refrain, And echoes die away, We pledge ourselves with heart and hand, To be true to thee alway. [91

Ernest Leroy Silver The President's Message The class of 1936 leaves Alma Mater with somewhat better prospects ot positions in the years ahead. What responsibilities must be met for changing conceptions of educational emphasis in a turbulent world is not too clear. It is certain that our times demand open minds, careful thinking, and patriotic ideals. All the learning so far acquired is but a basis for continued study, in the light of unfolding experiences, to the end of a developing service for the on-running stages of our changing society. If Alma Mater has given a basis of understanding, a passion for service, and a spirit of adventure in the search for new truth, she could do no more. So may it be!
