To the '49ers oi Central High School: Forty-niners , '49 or Bustlw That is the name you have given yourselves and the motto you have adopted as you approach your day of graduation from high school. l learned that when I saw the big covered wagon of the gold-rush days drawn by four white steeds pictured on the 10 ft. sign with which you decorated the stage curtain at Memorial Hall at your annual senior party. Let me say that I think that is a very clever slogan to adopt. We just hope that every one of you will reflect most profoundly upon the full meaning which that slogan suggests. We want you to realize that the Forty-niners of a century ago were sturdy souls-men and women of dauntless courage, seasoned to the merciless struggles, privations and toil which they had to 'meet, endure and over- come all along that seemingly never-ending journey westward. Those expeditions were not intended for the timid, the weak and the vacillating-souls of that type never reached their destination, but left their bones on the wide plains and burning deserts, and only the men and women .of courage, perseverance, patience and fighting spirit ever finished that journey-and they arrived bearing many scars, both in body and in spirit. There is a lesson in that for the members of the class of 1949. Elbert Hubbard. the Roycroft philosopher, once wrote, Cod will not look you over for Medals, Degrees or Diplomas, but for Scarsf' Men don't acquire scars by taking the easy way, the line of least resistance, by always adopting the politic and expedient, dodging the issues, following the crowd and forever posinge-such men are not heroes, they only think they are. ll is easy enough,', says Emerson, to live after the world's opinion. lt is easy enough in solitude to live after onels own opinion. But the truly great man is he who in the midst of the crowd can keep the independence of solitudefi Take another look at your heroes of l84-9. Your diplomas, soon to be awarded you, your prizes, medals and all which you are taking with you as you leave high school are only arms and armor, instruments for your protection and use as you hitch your mental and moral steeds to that Prairie Schooner of life's pleasures and struggles and start that long journey westward . lt's not going to be a sinecure all the way. belive me-but you will reach your destination, you will achieve your goal, if you are not afraid of the scars you are bound to collect along the way,4and, if you are not afraid, the '49ers of a century hence will label you as heroes, just as you are glorifying the lnen and women of a century ago. Wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leafleth lo destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadelh unto life, and few there be that find itf' - lVlath. 7:13-14 May God speed your journey.
