The ?Alca i j To the Young Men of Sam Houston State Teachers College: Dear Friends: Do you realize that this has been, to each of you, a year of most unusual opportunities? You are among a favored few of America. Only about one hundred young men out of every two thousand young men of this country have been privileged to enjoy this year those splendid opportunities that only college students are privileged to enjoy. If you availed yourselves of those opportunities that were yours, you are now better equipped for life ' s battles than you were when Sam Houston first received you into her halls. It is my hope that, while here, each of you has developed in every phase of life that tends to make a man more useful to his country and to his God. Sincerely your friend, L. E. King, Dean of Men.

v To the Class of 1932: The future, a somewhat wild and restless steed, awaits your mounting. There are battles to be fought in the interests of humanity and in defence of yourself. Through some fifteen years the preparation for your day has gone steadily forward. There should be few flaws in your armor. Your skill should be well-night perfect. It is yet to be determined whether you are a courageous chevalier or a triumphant Don Juan. Whatever may be your fate, your Alma Mater will watch your progress with a jealous eye, wishing for you all of those deserts which reward the efforts of those who aspire and have the heart to dare. It is my personal desire to see your name among those who have won and have been awarded the palm. Sincerely, J. C. McElhannon, Dean. Polk M. Kenley C. O.

The Alcalde, V DEAN OF WOMEN ' S MESSAGE AS YOU leave this campus with the long dreamed of diploma in your hand, do you ask yourself what college has meant to you? Has it meant rich friendships, wholesome pleasures, and work enough to cause you to feel that the acquisition of a degree is an accomplishment? Has it meant for you the ability to see the great and the small in their true relationship, to look at both sides of a question, to recognize and respect the point of view that differs widely from your own ? My wish is that college has meant all of this to you, and a further wish is that you may realize that now to make the most of your life you must find the work you want to do, do it generously, and find happiness in it.
