IN MEMCRIAM This year Chico and its high school felt the sobering grief and loss of a most dear friend and teacher, Mrs. Maybelle Sutton. During her four years with Chico High School, her unfailingly cheerful and optimis- tic presence illuminated the halls, the classrooms, the days and the hearts of those who knew her, and most of the students did know her. Her nature was of that substance which makes living richer. It has made of Chico High School a haven for a cherished and loving memory of one who will always be a part of it.

We Dedicafe .... It is customary that each yearbook staff select one person, from among those for whom we feel deep gratitude, for a representative recognition. A dedication is our means of saying thank you. We dedicate the Caduceus of 1949 to our town, the City of Chico. During this past year there have been many times when we have felt your help, Chico. Your news- papers have publicized our social events and have honored those students among us who have done outstanding work in various fields. Your business- men have done their best to help prepare us for the jobs which we shall hold in the future. Time and ti-me again we have called upon you for help and you have responded unfailingly. This year, also, you have inaugurated a program to encourage our interest in civic affairs and increase our knowledge of city government. For all these considerations we are grateful, but there is even more for which we want to thank you. Although we laugh and joke and get into mis- chief, we have serious thoughts also. We think in terms of the whole world and realize that peaceful, happy living in that world can come about only if the small communities achieve such. Just as young growing plants need fresh air and sunlight in order to thrive, we, too, need an atmos- PAGE 6 phere that is wholesome and clean in order to be- come decent citizens. The traditions which have grown up with Chico are such that they act as sym- bols and ideals for us to follow. We love those traditions of our town-its romantic beginning, its present, its possible glorious future. We want to be a part of that future. We are proud of our town. When other people of our age come to visit us here, as they often do for school conferences, we are proud that we live in Chico. All during the year you are giving yourself to us. In countless ways each day you generously offer all that you have to anyone who asks. Now we have a chance to repay, in small part, the great debt we owe. As you have given to us, we now give ourselves to you. It is our hope that, as we become more and more a part of you, we shall be able to live in the Ways you have inspired us. The high school people who took over city ofiices for a week will never forget the thrill of meeting in the Council Chamber, of actually taking part in police investigations, and, more than anything else, of being a part of our community. With this new program, our people will learn more about our city and appreciate it -more. To you, Chico, we give this book, our 1949 Caduceus.
