 CLASS OF 49 TJST one hundred years ago there were great numbers of adventuresome people heading westward toward what seemed to them to be certain wealth, happiness, and a most desirable future. They were heading for the Land of Golden Opportunity—the California of 1849. History tells that thousands upon thousands never reached the Land of Gold, and that many others never a-chieved either wealth or contentment when they did finally arrive. Only those who had prepared wisely and made their way carefully could be sure of arriving and making their fortunes. MR. E. E. CREDIFORD SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL You, too, are Forty-Niners and are looking about you for golden opportunities. Many such exist, but you must plan carefully, be well prepared, study your charts and trails, and make up your minds now that you will have to dig hard when you get there. My wish for you is that success will attend all your sincere effort, that by them you may win a good name, honest rewards, happiness, and a place of honor among your fellow men - a real and lasting fortune indeed. 11 MRS. CELIA ARNOLD EUGENE E. CREDIFORD
