w we iffy - inerd Gold! Gold! Gold! the cry rose in volume day by day. This word alone was enough to quicken the pulse of America. Almost immediately after the discovery of gold at Sutter's sawmill in January, 1848, an overland immigration from east to west began. At recognized meeting or jumping off places thousands of people gathered in confused milling masses. It was these people, the groups preparing for departure in the summer of 1849, that are known as The FortyfNiners, The FortyfNiners, ' ignoring the obvious hardships of such a journey, began the five-month trip with a bright and adventurous spirit. Many wagon trains started out wholly unprepared for the conditions which they were to meet. Either overloaded or understocked, many caravans fell apart and were forced to turn back. Others, due to improper leadership, were beset with quarrels and dissension. The geography of the trail country presented yet another difliculty. The hot, dry desert and snow-bound mountains were equally dangerous stumbling blocks. Despite all these obstacles, the gold seekers continued swarming westward by all known trails. Braving Indian attack and disease, i'The FortyfNiners at last reached their goal, the diggings, the vast golden empire. Dayby day, we Cleveland FortyfNiners search for gold, for the valuable things in life. Sifting, smelting, refining the knowledge that the trail blazers in history, science, and education have given us, working, playing, living our lives in 1949. No longer following the slow plodding oxen, but speeding ahead in airplanes and automobiles, eating foods grown in distant lands, wearing clothes made in factories by highly Speciale ized labor, living in houses made comfortable by countless inventions. And we are still pioneers. We are still seeking gold, gold which stands for the valuable things in life, and which still quickens the pulse of America. JOAN SCHALLER X R F!
