4} viewan,d 2101806 In 1849, one century ago, our great nation was still in the making. During that year gold was dis- covered in California and many, many people rushed to the West, with the hope of reaching the place where the gold had been found and obtaining a share of the treasure. Some of them succeeded — they reached the gold. Others dropped off along the route and staked their claims at different places that prom- ised a life for them. There in the wilderness they started life all over, making the best of what they had and receiving a reward; not the nuggets of me- tallic gold they had started to seek, but the gold that we seek, such as Contentment, World Peace, Enlight- enment, World Brotherhood, Faith, Loyalty, Health, Determination, and Success. In 1949, the present time, we, the Seniors, must rush on through life to reach the goal that we have set for ourselves. As the 1849 ' ers did, so will some of us drop off before our highest goal is reached and try to make a success of our lives no matter how close we are to the place where we started. We will be expected to pan the World to secure a pure goal as our fore- fathers panned the dirt for pure gold. We shall have the duty of cutting our way through forests of cold wars to obtain World Peace; be given the task of fighting germs to gain Health; and be expected to dig deep into unknown places for Knowledge, Wisdom, and Understanding; we will have to weed out all hate so that Love and Friendship may flourish; we shall be taught to expect the unexpected so we can have Happiness at all times. When we have done this we will be well on our way to Success, but we will not have the highest success until every nation of the world has Freedom. As we ' ve already stated, some of us will drop off somewhere along the line; but others of us will push on to achieve these goals for ourselves and all mankind. Now to our understanding teachers, parents, loyal classmates, and Fremont High School, we, the Seniors, bid a fond farewell and take one step farther toward that goal for which we have thus far strived.
