(OsutizcdtlML We, the class of '47, dedicate this annual to the Spirit of '47.” Like our dauntless ancestors represented in the Spirit of '76, we advance from war into peace and an unpredictable world. The peace of World War II has not been declared, as we write this, yet the incoming era, christened the Atomic Age, is coloring our thought and changing our lives, even now. We are not sure that our four years in Gridley High have even begun to prepare us for the Atomic Age. but we do know one thing. We know that the frail, infantile spirit of brotherhood born of our close association as classmates through elementary and high school has grown and expanded into a prophetic ideal of peace and unity for our younger schoolmates who follow us, for our community, our state, our nation, our world. In a mood of pride and prophecy, then, we dedicate this book to our mysterious, long-awaited year, our guide into a changing world — The Spirit of '47.

Education For Peace is the spirit of '47. This slogan has been chosen this year by educational forces throughout the United States, and we use it as the theme for our yearbook. The implications of such a watchword are far-flung. The graduating class of '47 has not the imagination nor the wisdom to show you the results of the united efforts of the American schools under this new impetus. It would take Aladdin's lamp and the genie to give you any breathtaking glimpses of the magic methods of atomic-accelerated school systems. But, wait — we do have an Aladdin's lamp! Our Spirit of the Lamp — good, old '47, will appear at one flicking rub from our toil- hardened hands and show you, not the future Gridley High en- visioned by scientists, but the plain, everyday happenings of our past. That is magic enough for us — the magic of memory with a hint of the future. Here it is, classmates; the pictures and written record of 1946-1947. Here is our work, our play, our successes, our failures, in education for peace. Look, lads and lassies; read, remember, smile, and smother a sigh. Here is our Aladdin's lamp. Take it away, Spirit of '47!
