Whole nilies unhesitatingly set out for new horizons and a new life. Gold s the impetus for the great migration and settling. The search for fenture led these people in the vast surge toward open frontiers. ld, to be sure, was the cause, but the '49ers were more than gold- wgry men. They were the pioneers, the future-builders. With their ks and shovels, their covered wagons and their inborn, unfailing rit, they conquered the unknown. Their tools were simple, their ys were crude, but their results were world-shattering. These were 2 '49ers-these were the nation-builders. We like to identify ourselves with those '49ers, for we are '49ers J. We have a challenge to meet, a future to face and a creed to 'ead throughout the world. We feel akin to the earlier pioneers in rit and in purpose. Their tools were courage, faith and devotion simple ideals. To these, we add hope, knowledge and ambition. I Their search was highlighted in the gleaming, precious metal called flllf 2:51:- -, I , g M.: . may K lil' WSH ? , l. if S B476 1 'fl iijl' WV 7 -,XZ-1 , ' fnwggg l,ll , M11 llyfl ,ffm 3 ,- l ,ffl l , ,Ag 7 lg M' :. ll' lf! l ,mflgllflyl lu i l lr tllllllslilfgti' ?5' jll Vi'- .- 1 l , '. il' lg-,ee 53 l' r,jlllQ7?i '.?I7 -4, K A f -' S-1.4, N Aw ef' ii 1 1 v illll - . ,,, ..f:- .....--f' ld.

Ever since l was of the age of 'Re- INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP This year, since we have felt the influence of the various nations through our international representatives, it seemed fitting to include an international section in the Thesaurus. During the assembly in honor of Miss Hibbert, our exchange teacher from England, we heard the many interesting experiences about her first contact with the American people and customs. We hear by letter of Miss Hollister's vacation travels in Europe, and of the school in Sutton Coldfield, England, where she is teaching this year. U-E students also contributed to the feeling of internationalism. Eleanor Bierly's trip reaped more than just memories. The school library received a book autographed by Norway's skiing champion. Anna Buikstra, whose native land is Holland, and Kathleen Tobin, whose birthplace is Ireland, are finding U-E much to their liking. We have many other pupils who were born in other countries but are furthering their education in U-E. Without attempting to list them all, we mention Charles deVente and Cornelius deVente, both born in Holland. becca of Sunny-Brook Farm,' I have wanted to watch a graduation and to eat buckwheat cakes and waffles, ever since l was at High School, I have wanted to live for a time in the land where pioneers built log cabins and Abraham Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address, ever since l94O, I have wanted to visit the 'arsenal of democ- racy' and the generous people who fed starving Europe. l expected Amer- ica to be my second home and its people my fellow citizens of the world and I have not been disappointed. MISS HIBBERT There is an integrity on this island that one must live with to appreciate to the full. People here are going with- out the little luxuries that one sees abroad but they are making a down- right effort to pull themselves out. They export everything that they can in order to bring in food so that all may eat. All share and share alike and the last thing that l could imagine would be that communism could take a hold here. They live hard lives, right now they can't see when the sacrifice will end, but they are all in it together and given time they will pull out. l feel it a distinct privilege to be with them and to see how earnestly they work at the job of recove ry' Miss HOLLISTER
