FUREWURD Among the significant years in American history 1849 is remembered perhaps even more than 1776 or 1861, if one thinks of song or story. The men of '49 were of heroic mould and they builded greater than they knew. They sought, to be sure, to gain easy wealth, but they paid in sweat and blood and tears for gain and loss alike. As they followed that will-o-wisp of California their real gain was unsuspected, for they became the path- finders of an empire that was to stretch from sea to sea. We of another '49 hail the brave heroes of a hundred years ago. We are enjoying the fruits of their toil as we have pursued our education, will-o-wisp in its nature too, in this tree and mighty land. This book contains our record, for us all gain. Its story of work and play will be read, we hope, for many a long year even unto the days of another century. 421 Page Three

Mr. Robert G. Marsteller, a loyal son of Rayen, has been for many years a teacher of history and French at his Alma Mater. His service as sponsor of the Annual is indicative of his willingness to devote his time and talent to anything that con- cerns the welfare of his school. By his sympathetic approach and deep understanding of their problems he has won the confidence and admiration of a host of students. Leaving his position for a year, he took his young family on a long journey westward, reminiscent of that pioneer migra- tion of one hundred years ago which this book commemorates. To him in the land of his sojourn this book of the class of 1949 is affectionately dedicated. Dedication if Page Four E+
