The Con n i n g Tower of 1936 Mrs. Minnie l.catherbury Matron Samuel Read Hall Dormitory Winds The winds arc surging through my soul again, Sweeping madly onward through their course. I shall be out upon their path again Seeking, seeking to their very source. It only takes their urgent call again To set me out to meet them face to face. To learn the secret of their pow’r again, To find them roaring in some great wide space Where I may leap and roar as loud as they, And rush as boldly, glorious and free, Where I may push and pull and madly sway As boldly as they’re always pushing me. Oh, I must out and on and on again Where wild, rebellious winds will ever be. Out where those reinless chargers break their way Through wide space into infinity. Emii.y Collins 1141

Robert John Ernst To the Graduates of the four Year Commerce Curriculum For the past few years many educators have been watching the developments in education to see what changes, if any, occur as a result of the changes in the business world. It is my opinion that the recent developments in our social, political, and business life will soon result in a demand for more and better education. By more education, I do not necessarily mean more schools and more years of school life for each individual, but an increase in the number of courses which deal with problems that have an immediate effect upon the individual in order that our secondary schools may justify their claim of preparing for citizenship. By better education, 1 refer primarily to that part of commercial education which deals with strictly vocational training. A study of depression unemployment, and reports from business men concerning the efficiency of those who are employed clearly show a need for improvement in this field. I hope that you, as commercial teachers, will enjoy the privilege of helping to solve these and other educational problems of the future. Robert John Ernst
