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 , , '

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

BRYAN' EDUCATION AND JOBS Since V-J Day hundreds of discharged servicemen have come to Alameda High School seeking advice about their future education and about job possi- bilities. Those who left high school before graduation see clearly that in order to compete for worthwhile jobs they must have more education. A common remark made by many of the men is something like this: Gee, I wish I hadn't fooled around in high school, a fellow needs all the education he can get to compete with the smart fellows who seem to be in every section and every squad of the service. Tell the kids who are in school now to make the most of their opportunities. We try to help the men in every way possible by suggest- ing means of securing a high school diploma and by arranging for them to enroll in a high school, a iunior college, or a college. They help us by encour- aging the students now in high school to stay in high school and to do better work. Education is important to the men who have fought World War II because it means better iobs and better jobs mean a higher standard of living and more security and happiness for a man's family. Education is power. It is the power behind the most important devices invented by man. Education has enabled us to learn how to send our voices around the earth, how to increase the yield of corn, how to organize men into modern armies or into great indus- tries and states. Education has made possible the discovery of atomic energy. Some form of education is back of every worthwhile iob or career. In order to get the best possible kind of education for a particular iob, it is desirable to choose one's occupation at an early age. The selection of a career is one of the most difficult tasks confronting the high school student. It is also one ofthe most important for his success and happiness. The people who are most enthusiastic about their jobs are the people who are doing what they like and who seem naturally fitted for their work. In making a selection, a student should examine himself carefully to see that he has the necessary requirements to handle the job. He should also examine the iob thoroughly to see that it meets his requirements. I6I
