' ve A successful year book will capture and preserve those memories of school life which will give us pleasure in the years to come, We live in an age of photographic achievement, which makes the historians task an easier one and gives richness to the finished product. The chapter of our existence herein reported is brief, but we doubt that any similar period in the future will be as crowded with events for so many of us. It has been our chief concern to catch the spirit of com- radeship and friendliness which prevails at Alameda High and to put into permanent form some of its delightful manifestations as we have experienced them in the classroom, at social events, and on the athletic field. When we consider the contrast presented by conditions in other lands in these days of war. we realize how much we have to be thank- ful for in the blessings and birthright of American citizenship and how significant in implication are these pages devoted to the normal pursuits of young people in a great nation at peace. In offering you the 1940 ACORN, we hope that we have succeeded in creating an album of memories of which you will never tire and that the activities herein described may give eloquent proof of the advantages enjoyed by the youth of America.
