«THE EDITOR’S FOREWORD This is one of a long series of annuals which have been published since about 1915 by the senior classes of Maroa High. These books sum up the events of the year in between two protecting covers. As years go by, we will look between these covers and recali many pleasant memories under the direction of some = sl i i ee | MARY N CADAY ¥ ae ee wonderful teachers. In these books are pictures of all the students in their classes and different activ- ities. Of course the seniors are the highlights. The activities in which they have par- ticipated are summarized; they leave their will, prophecy, history, and quite a few other articles. Our CARAVAN of '49 has a new feature which we would like for you to notice— | classroom scenes showing some of our actuel classes and class activities. Early in the fall of '48, the members of the CARAVAN of '49, the staff, were chosen. As editor, it was my job to try to lead the members through a safe journey. Mr. Kitowski was our dependable guide, and Rosemary Randall and Betty Wilson were my co-operative assistants. The other members also each had jobs which they fulfilled very nicely. a | The highest mountain we had to cross was that of soliciting enough ads to sponsor | our book. We were troubled considerably about this because we were afraid we would have to drop a few of our wagons. This mountain was crossed very safely thougn, thanks to our faithful ‘49ers Ken Burris, Max Scott and Marjean Montgomery, who were aided by Guy Neibuhr, our advertising committee. Another crew of our workers, the subscription committee, which consisted of Tom Doak, Barbara Rogers and Carolyn Grimes, finished pushing us over the peak with an ample number of subscriptions. Many other members of our CARAVAN of ‘49 worked in the background, but their ‘obs were just as important as those of some of the members in the front wagon. Now that you have been introduced to our book, we would like for you to pro- ceed through the CARAVAN of '49, inspecting each of the individual wagons.
