These are the tilings that stand out vividly in our memories. None of the problems that confronted the gold seekers of 1849 could have been more per- plexing than the ones that we ’49-ers encountered. To you we present the “finished product” of our “blood, sweat, and tears.” We hoe that our humble efforts have not been in vain and that this account of the Forty-Niners will bring many hours of happy reminiscence. The Staff and the Sponsor of the 1949 Oak Leaf 8

The Leaders A five year journey ean be an ordeal if it is not guided and directed by leaders who possess strength of character and a will to forge ahead. The “Goal Seekers of ’49” knew that the nodes which lay ahead would be rough and filled with problems and difficulties. That is the reason th it they selected their leaders and represen- tatives with special care. Each one selected has done an exceptional job and is to be commended for his ability to lead the class on to the “goal.” Left to Right: Ronnie Price — Westinghouse Science Contest, Joyce Burrow — Representative to Girls’ State, Gary Holdren — President of Student Patrol and Representative to Boys’ State, Dickie Haislip — President of Student Cooperative Association and Representative to Boys’ State, Patty Ripley — Representative to Girls’ State and Girls’ Nation.
