FUREUIUHD E hundred years has gone by since 1849, a century of a radical change in our way of living. We have graduated from covered wagons to streamlined automobiles, from plc and shovel to bulldozers, from signal fires to television. But have basic customs and fundamental ideas really changed? Inside are we so very different? In this book we have turned back the pages of time one hundred years to the time when our ancestors were rushing to California to find gold. In the following pages we wlll compare life now and then. We leave it up to you to decide how much we are affected by the passing of one hundred years. CUHTEHTS MARSHALLS ....... . . . ........................ . In the class rooms of a school house, Working hard to earn a dimeg Were the teachers, not the preachers Of the class of '49, '49ers... ...................... In the lib' ry, of the school house, Every morning just at nineg Never more will '49ers Gather there to pass the time. PRCBPECTORS . . . ......................... . . . . Still embattled in the school room, Facing quizes all the time, Are the juniors and the sophomores, With the freshmen close behind. FRONTIERSMEN . . . ...................... . . . . In the gym and on the diamond, Fighting all through '49g Were the black and orange warriors, Plugging hard to hold that line. HOE DOWN .... ........................... In the club room, in the work room, Singing songs or gatherin' grimeg Gather boys and girls together, To enjoy their extra time. GRUBSTAKERS . . . ....... . .............. . . . . Sharing struggles and the triumphs Of the class of '49g Were our sponsers and our patrons, Who have laid it on the line. 4

DEDICHTIUH deepest appreciation for their kind understanding and help we ded- icate this issue of THE CREST to Mrs. Schermerhorn and to Mr. and Mrs. Richardson. To Sarge, for his capable direction of the Senior plays, for chaperoning Senior trips, for his kind and wise advice to the senior class as a whole, and his keen interest in each of us individually. To Mrs. Richardson, for her help and for use of the Home Ee. Room. She has served as an out- standing example to all girls, and has given us the advice we needed to make it over many a bump. She has chaperoned senior trips, and always had a ready smile or a twinkling wink that cheered our days. To Mrs. Schermerhorn who has borne the load of so many senior classes and their problems on her capable and wllling shoulders. She has given us the motherly advice that we often need, and has always had time to listen to our troubles and help us with them. She has contributed a fine son who was an outstanding student and athlete, an- other son who is following in his brother's footsteps, and a daughter who has cheered our class with her ready wit and spontaneous laughter.
