P rincipa l’s M essag To the Seniors, One hundred years ago gold was discovered in California and a great flow of people came to California during the next few years Those were stirring times which produced men whose deeds made up a romatic chapter in the colorful history of the state. We, too, are living in stirring times. Another migration, which in time and space will be as great as that of the gold rush period, is taking place. The problems brought about by the present migration will also be stirring and as before will call for the best in men and women. You are graduating into this world of change. These problems will be your problems and how they are solved will color the destiny of our state for generations to come. This is a challenge. It will require strong minds, hard work and moral courage. This you can acquire by making the best of your educational opportunities which the state has supplied in abundance, by making your bodies physically strong by caring for the attributes with which God has endowed you, and most of all, by living according to the moral precepts which the Greatest Teacher of all has supplied you. My personal wish is that you have a happy and successful life in whatever you choose to do, remembering always that Nature is an exacting master, keeping an even balance so that in the final analysis we receive only that which we have given. May you and yours prosper. J. C. Nisbet Principal
