The annual Commerce Banquet iK - C JW ' jn u ' r ' . From its founding, the School of Commerce grew so much faster than any of its contemporaries and occupied so many rooms, that it was dubbed the academic bad boy. Located in the old university, where Founders ' Hall now stands, it began with eight faculty members and now has almost eighty. Dr. Clayton Carus, who has been here thirty years, has never been known to use notes in giving a lecture. It ' s not that he doesn ' t write, though; 9,000 copies of his current book, Japan ' s Resources and Industries, were distributed to the armed forces during the last war. Going from the traditional to the new, the present dean. Dr. Lawrence C. Lockley, has only been here since September of this year. Coming to us from N.Y.U., he refers to himself as the frustrated boat- man. Cabin cruisers are his hobby and he misses the Chesa- peake Bay. Dr. Lockley is rather modest about his degrees and accomplishments, but they can be found in Who ' s Who from 1932 on. He is very enthuiastic about plans for the future of the School of Commerce, which include broadening its program, strengthening relations with local businessmen, and helping students to progress in their chosen fields. Dr. Robert F. Craig, who is noted for talking at least five minutes about our football team before beginning any class, has had a wide and varied background for being head of Commercial Aviation here at SC. He graduated in law from the Univer- sity of Nebraska ; and when only twenty-two, he managed an airport in Kansas City. The fact that he used to be a sports announcer might explain his spirited interest in the team. 27

ommerce Samuel Rubin III . . . and out of the classroom. If you spot any one of the faculty of the School of Commerce wearing an exceptionally loud tie, credit goes to Dr. Phillip A. Libby, head of the Department of General Business, whose hobby is hand weaving! But whose sterner moments (if one can have stern moments with a twinkle in his eye) find him amply filling the post of Director of Veteran Affairs. Colonel Rubin, of Trade and Transportation, is known as the only man at SC who can teach two courses at once. Students down the hall in another class can hear every word he says about high- priced automobiles. Maybe his far-reaching voice has nothing to do with the fact that he is the only man in the United States to be a full member of the Royal Institute of Transportation in England, but it may have helped! A prominent man in tax accounting circles is Associate Professor Colonel Rex Ragan, who is also faculty advisor to Beta Gamma Sigma, the commerce equivalent to Phi Beta Kappa. Dr. J. Frances Henderson (Mrs. Albert J. Clemore), head of Secretarial Administration and Business Education, has recently developed a course in legal secretaryship. She is a member of Legal Secretaries, Inc., and the California Council of Business Women. Mr. Clemore is a teacher, too, but he and Dr. Henderson Clemore are usually too busy fishing, golfing or camping in the mountains in their spare time to talk shop. 29
