l4QKlfWQKD This year, 1949, is the centenary of the great Gold Rush, that colorful era of American history when impatient fortune-seekers poured westward to the gold-laden mountains of California to make their millions, a time when man's natural thirst for riches and luxury was aroused by distant cries of Gold! Gold l Hoping to build a Utopia from Nature's buried treasures, men from every section and state, from every town and hamlet, responded to their desire for adventure and wealth by racing to the fabulous Land of Prosperity. Fortune smiled on some but frowned on many more. The mind-set of the 49'er, though, was such that initial failures did not in the least discourage him. He had a strong confidence in the final realization of his dreams of wealth, a feeling that was strengthened by a saving sense of humor. This confidence and its protective humor are what made the 49'er, he is noted for his muteness to the cry of defeat and for his blind resolution to succeed. Thus, today, we 49'ers are heirs to the wild spirit of exciting adventure and bold determination typical of America a hundred years ago. ln tribute to the 49'ers and to their influence upon the character of America, we have chosen them and their activities as the theme for our publication of the Argus, with the thought in mind that their experience is symbolic of our own journey into the challenging, west lands of maturity in search of our golden futures. ln planning and organizing the material for use in the Argus, we have attempted to recapture the spirit of times past, not only in our art work but in the manuscript. You will hnd the rhythms of Bret Harte in our poetic attempts, the informality of good fellowship in our thinking, and the freedom of everyday speech in our writing. So it is that in offering to you this Argus in the informal spirit of the 49'ers, we hope that in future years it may bring to mind the golden moments of youth.
