R. L n tn d TO THE CLASS OF 1946: The long-awaited day has finally arrived! You have been looking forward to this day of achievement for twelve years, and it is com- mendable that you realize its significance. It is an event, a mile stone in your career. From this day on you are on your own in a sense not heretofore true. Whether you go to college or into immediate employment, you are going out to try the world and be tried by it. The high school cannot claim to have taught you understanding; at best your teachers and classmates have merely shared with y.ou the search for it. Keep on searching. Search for the larger meaning in whatever engages you; seek it in the people with whom you are associated. In whatever you choose as your after-high school pursuit, the very best wishes of the faculty and students of Palo Alto High School accompany you. Ivan H. Under, Principal

We are approaching a future of scientific endeavor and develop- ment, coupled with a mechanistic advancement that will make this earth one world or none. It is at the beginning of this era that the class of 1946 is graduating, and in a world already sensing the rapid changes that are to be evolved, the MADRONO for this year was conceived and reared. Therefore it is fitting that the yearbook of the graduating seniors should follow a theme of science of the future. The years of devastating, world-enveloping war witnessed the invention and perfection of radar, rockets, jet planes; we have lived to know the effects caused by the first harnessing of atomic power — all these are symbols of things to come, the sciences of the future. The art staff has attempted to portray this theme through a series of illustrations which appear on the introductory pages of the various sections of the book. These conceptions repre- sent the more serious thoughts of our book. On the lighter side, the many photographs, along with the varied cartoons of Paly ' s glamour boy as he capers throughout these pages, symbolize the spirit and exuberance that are found in every phase of our school life. A gay thought with a meaningful reminder of more serious things to come!
