F C) R E W OKI) I HIS year’s 1-awrencian tells a story. In a sense, it is the story of 250-odd pioneers who entered upon a serious and important adventure in life. Although not the first to embark upon this adventure, they may be considered pioneers, since the trail they followed was a long, perilous one and each day presented new and previously unknown experiences. Their goal was ever uncertain, although they had heard of the treasures that lay before them and the important part these treasures were to play in their future lives. The going was difficult. Year after year several members found they could go no further and dropped by the wayside. Finally, after four tiring yet happy years, our band of adventurers reached their goal. As you may have guessed, the pioneers we have been speaking of are the members of the class of '49. As you may also have guessed, this story, like most, has a moral—a moral best illustrated by looking back in history. For this is the year 1949, and a century ago a group of pioneers like those in our story also started upon an adventure. I heir trek across the dangerous and unknown West to the gold fields of California was not so much inspired by a yearning for the material gold itself, but rather for what this gold meant to their future and happiness. In a sense, you, the student body of Lawrence High School, are '49ers—pioneers. Like your predecessors of yesteryear; today your journey is not an easy one. Likewise, your goal is not the graduation ceremony, but the higher and finer goals in life which your four years at Lawrence will enable you to envision. Nothing o u 1 d f i n e WSX . y,i I mfl g
