FOREWORB In this fifteenth volume of the Squaw Butte Saga we ' ve tried to preserve for you the gold in them thar hills of 1949. Our forefathers stopped in the valley to get ready to gather the riches in the hills beyond. We ' ve spent this year in Emmett High getting ready to gather riches ahead in time. And we find that while we were making out preparations we ' ve gathered gold galore. Among the golden nuggets are the events of the entire year — the friends we ' ve made — discussions in American history — the Sweetheart Ball — debate class at eight a.m. — the thrilling Armistice Day victory — the Spinster Skip — noon dances — report cards. The hills we ' c climbed may be measured in hours of work instead of miles but our Gold Rush Days have been real and hazardous. We cannot pan all our gold at once but we ' ve staked our claim and in this book is our record.

DEDICATED TO the Forcy-Niners of one hundred years ago and to the men and women following them, whose adventurous spirit resulted in the opening, not only of gold fields but also of this west — so rich in resources and in opportunity. This picture was taken about 1890 of a group of miners at the famous Gold Hill Mine in Boise Basin.
