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

“
MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1949 MR. I. W. HAZARD QL E theme of your Athenian is Our Town.” Many of you have been citizens of Athens since your birth. For you it will always hold a place in your heart all your life that no new experience can replace. Some of you have not been citizens of the town but all have been citizens of the school. Graduation will sever that relationship but you will still be citizens of this town or some other. Whatever the town, you will still be citizens of the world. It is our hope that your experiences as citizens of the school have created within you a love for and understanding of democratic freedom that will shape the pattern of your actions toward that ideal not only for the home town but for the world. It is probable that modern development in transportation and communications have made it possible to maintain the freedom we love only by setting up that ideal as a goal for all the world and working toward it with all possible speed. Democratic world citizenship is the need of the hour. It is a grave responsibility. 12 MRS. SOUTHEE
