IJEDIII Tlll What every person becomes depends greatly upon his parents. Parents spend the best years of their lives working in order to provide a decent home tor their child to grow up in and in order to provide an education tor their child. They provide shelter, clothing, food and guidance over a period ot many years. Whenever we are despondent, whenever we need help or guidance of any kind, we always have our parents to turn to. They willingly give their all for us and yet ask nothing in return except that we always strive to do our best to be a credit to them. To our parents, the unseen people behind every success- ful man, this book is gratefully dedicated. . f n ..,- QQ, f I NQX' 5 ' A ' if A K, c N NN LX Q. - . J l X Wtrm

FUHEWUHH... As surely as the day followeth the night, even as the spring followeth the winter, so shall order be made out of chaos, and the fruits of peace from the seeds of war. True since the beginning of time, this statement is proving applicable today more than ever before. Yes, as it always has, peace has rescued the exhausted world from the turmoil of war, ancl, as they always have, men are again beating their swords into plowshares and are turn- ing again tothe labors of peace. Men, realizing the necessity for international cooperation, are banding together to form a great organization whose purpose it shall be to prevent future wars upon earth. They will look to us to perform the tasks which they are outlining. We do not fully realize how much the rest of the world will be looking to us in the years iust ahead, we have no idea of the great task or the grave responsibility ahead of us. When we entered this school, the world was en- gulfed in the greatest conflict man has ever seen, now, as we leave, the world is at peace. Yet, these things do not seem too important to us because we have not been affected directly by them. We have actually been sheltered from the cares of the world and have been allowed to spend four glorious years in a world apart, as it were. It is with this in mind that we, the staff of the 1946 Acorn, are compiling this book. We sincerely hope that we have been able to recapture the highlights of our stay here, so that in years to come we may look back with enioyment and wish that we could live over our carefree, happy high school days.

We all live with an eye to the future. Almost everything we do is done with regard to our future. Realizing this we are looking forward to what the future will bring to Alameda High School. 551 , , '
