FOREWORD One hundred years ago a mighty stream of pioneers rolled their wag- ons westward to build the cities and found the traditions of our land. Staunch, determined men and women symbolized this overland trek. These frontiersmen held little thought of building a new empire or establishing themselves in history. They longed for simpler, more down-to-earth things- new homes, land for more abundant crops, escape from the convention- alities of the East. Few in this great migration searched for gold alone. Today, a century after the Forty- Niners, whom we hold symbolic of these pioneers, poured into the West, we find the few remaining geographi- cal frontiers so remote that in the need to fulfill an inherited spirit of pioneering we must turn to forces iust as far-reaching, but of a less material nature. We dare not lose faith in man's ability to improve himself. We still seek a world embracing the broth- erhood of truth. And so we bring forth that vanishing spirit of 1849, garb it in the cloth of the twentieth century, and its vision beckons clear. Forty- Niners! To westward once again!

From his basic calculations he dreams of the engineering marvels that line our modern skyline. In Earl Trowbridge, also of Room 249, we find the reflection of that early man of vision. Mr. Trowbridge has had his hand in forming the basic qualities and characteristics of the youth who will build tomorrow's horizons. Head senior class adviser for six of his twelve years on the Highline faculty, Mr. Trowbridge has piloted more than one thousand students through their last year of high school. His knowledge of algebra, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, J calculus and navigation has reached half again that number. But more important T to many have been the understanding way, the quiet sincerity, the gentlemanly sense of humor, and the far-sighted guidance of this man who has shown himself , to be not only a capable instructor but also a loyal friend and counselor. So to the y head adviser of the class of '49-to a true Forty-Niner-we respectfully dedicate this 1949 Pirates' Log. -NINERS THE FORTY-NINERS THE FORTY-NlNERSl ,J
