DEDICATICDN We, the members of the senior class of 1949, gratefully dedicate this issue of the Cardinal and Gold to the late Mr. F. E. Westerlund, who through his constant labor helped make our years at Oxnard Union High School more pleasant. During the five years of his service here, Mr. Westerlund held, among other duties, the positions of science teacher, attendance officer, guidance counsellor, vice president of the Faculty Club, and, during this past year until his death, the important position of Director of the Night School. His various duties outside the classroom resulted in his ac- quaintance with many students who indeed felt with much regret the vacancy he left in the teaching staff. Because of his pleasing personality and his cooperative spirit Mr. Westerlund was well liked by his fellow faculty members, the students, and all others who were privileged to know him,

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE One of the most difficult problems facing the Class of 1949 is the con- flict between freedom in the area of economic life and equality. The post- war period of plenty Qjobs and incomej has decidedly shifted to a period of scarcity. The solution lies in your willingness to solve these problems through democratic processes, and through moral restraint rather than legal compulsion. If men do not have a genuine devotion to the public welfare, and if they are unwilling to subordinate selfish interest to it, if they refuse to temper freedom by the spirit of mutual concern, if they fail to recognize their common interest in the good society, they will drive themselves to the extremity of the totalitarian state. We are grimly determined that this shall not happen in America! It is your task, and mine, through conference and discussion, through experi- ment and compromise, through moral restraint and necessary government action, to develop an economic order in which common men will be more secure and participate on more equal terms in the common affairs of life. This is the challenge that faces you. The strength of character and leadership you have exhibited during your four years in high school re- assures us that you will do your part in making this a better and safer world in which to live. May your destinies be richly blessed. -L. A. WIEMERS
