49'ERS AND YOUR FELLOW STUDENTS: One hundred years ago, a group ot pioneering men and women lsparlced by the discovery ot gold at Sutter's Milll raced into this land ot opportunity.

Remember-you are about to become one ot the main actors in this drama ot lite and that the stage is now set with an air frontier and an atomic horizon. Prepare yourselves as best you can, while you can. Pioneers ot the atomic age may live to smile at the dangers taced by the l849'ers.
