The Gold Rush of Âˇ49 is an exciting and colorful pidure in our nation's history. Our hardy forefathers, struggling across he prairies, and over the ruggÂˇed and snow peaked mountains, across the surging seas and the Isthmus of Panama, came by the thousands, attracted by one magic v1ord-gold. The way was hard and roLtgh, but the reward at the end of the trail was wor h i . Then others began to come. Gold was no longer California's one prize. People came to build farms, towns and thriving ci ies; to esta lish business, commerce, and indushy. The you'h of California not o ly have a glorious past to look back on but also a challenging future. The gold of today is no a me'ai but the opportunity Âˇo build a better world, and from the graduating classes of Claremont High School will come young men and women well equipped to carry on he progress our forefathers have attained in the past years.

To a great friend, who well deserves the recognition he has gained in long yearďż˝ of service as principal and superintendent of Claremont High School: a man capable of any job given him; who has helped us through the years morally and spiritually. In sincere appreciation we dedica e El Espiritu de 1949 to Dr. Earl Thompson.

For twenty-three years as superintendent of ClareÂ mont schools and !wen ly-lwo years as principal of the high school Dr. Thompson has ser_ved the community of Claremont. He has won many friends among the students whom he has encouraged and assisted: Responsible and ha rd working, he has always done his job effectively and bee:-i willing to undertake extra duties when called upon. F,8w of those who have known him can forget his friendÂ Ii ess and geniality. As he retires this year we wish lo express our sincere gratitude for his excellent leadership and wonderful co-operation during our years at Claremont High School.

Coming to CI ar e mo n t this year from Wellesley, Massachusetts, Mr. Gaige has brought many new ideas to the administration of Claremont High School. His firm belief in a strong student government has given the stu oents more opportunity to voice their opinion in school affairs. A good leader, an excellent speak e r, and a thoughtful administrator of school policies, he has won the admiration of the townspeople as well as that of the students and faculty. He has proved his ability to deal with school problems in a firm bu just manner. We wish him great success in achieving his. goal of making Clare mont High School an outstanding school in every way.

To the Students: !f we teachers in Claremont, along with the teachers of the millions of other high school gradu ates this June. have done well what we have tried -;.-::, do, you will go ou+ into a world where there will be success and happiness or you. They will be he,·e because you make them. You will build them upon the principles of demouacy and free enterprise which you understc)nd. Most of all, success and happiness will be here because you have worked hard to put them there. This kind of hard work gives pleasure in the do,ng.

Senior:J

The class of '49 bids farewell to C.H.S. Our high school days have been happy ones. We've done a lot in the last six years. How different we feel now than on that September day in '43 when we first came up to high school. When we think back about our days here we will first remember how Mike and Willis led our basketball team to an undefeated season in the Tri-County League; how we beat Bonita twice in three years in football; the good record of our G.A.A. teams at playdays and interÂ class games. Then we will remember our acts in the Talent Shows and the plays and operettas we've been in; the offices we've held, our favorite teachers, the friends we've made, the opportunities we've had. And we'll remember also the fights we've had, our pet peeves, our ninth periods, the tests we've failed, the games we've lost. We'll never foraet that last week at C.H.S.-the climax to our senior yea"r. The prom, Baccalaureate, Senior Assembly, senior supper, and last of all that Wednesday evening when we were up on the stage for the last time-singing "Song of Man" and receiving our diplomas. We leave with happy memories and high hopes for the future.

The Lettermen' Club had as i s president his year Mike Toomay, wi h Will Hames serving as vice-president. They began their activities by giving a success ful dance under he supervision of social chairmen Buzz Rainer and Bill Wade. The club sponsored their annual Lettermen's Carnival in April, and in May new recruits underwent the inevitable initiation.

Capably coached by Mr. Spencer and Mr. Cohn and captained by Bill Wade, the Claremont Wolfpack came up with one of the most feared teams in the Tri-County. The 'Pad placed Captain Wade, a errific defensive end, and Will Hames, this year's most valuable player and the hardest plunging fullback in the league, on the first string all Tri-County team: Buzz Rainer, our fine blocking back, and Butch Bauer, he hardest tackler this school has seen in many a year, on the second team: and Bob Smith, our passing and elusive tailback, Mike Toomay, the six foot five-inch giant, Jack Clarke, a hard fighter in the sturdv line, and Dick MacMillen, our pint-sized blocking guard, on the honor able mention team. Although the other boys did not make a berth on 'he All league teams, they showed plenty of-fight and spirit that makes a team hard to beat. The Hillers started the season off slowly, playing in a new and +ricJy single-wing offense and with very few different plays, but they adva rcrr-?id to b e a hard fighting and hard tackling � J �� ' •

Off to a slow start because of our great basket ball season, the Wolfpack baseball team. under the expert coaching of Mr. Cohn, and captained by Will Hames, gradually turned into a working unit. Lack of experie nced pitchers and catchers put our nine into playing a fieldirig defensive game. The 'Pack had one of 'he hardest hitting teams in the league. Returning lettermen on the squad were Will Hames, Herb Chri'stian, Bob Smith, Dick Richards, Bob Dunham, and Butch Bauer. The team participated in the Pomona 20-30 Tournament during Spring Vacation, and in th eir, first few league games, beat Puente, while losing to Corona, Bonila, and Bell Gardens.

To Ba ·oara Mc Burney fell the remendous task of editing "El Espiritu de 1949." Putting out this book is a big responsibility and involves raising money in various ways to finance the project. This has been done by pro ceeds ·from the Ta lent Show, the annual dance. and food sales at games, besides the sale of he books hemselves. Wi h the aid of her hard-working staff, Barbara has finally completed the job and hopes that it will recall pleasant memories to its readers.

Virginia Booth and Allen Amsbaugh, our Wolf packet edi ors, have faithfully put out the school paper every two weeks. In keeping with last year's plan, it has again been printed. Besides publishing the paper, the staff sponsored the Christmas Ball and sold candy and cokes at the games.

Receiving little credit for many hours of hard work, Mr. Booth and the stage crew are indispensible in any C. H .S. production. Working at odd , ours when the stage 11,as not in use by rehearsing casts, they managed to make wonderful sets and iake care of the technical details of our shows. They deserve our special appreciation.

Working busily behind the scenes just before curtain time was our efficient make-up commi tee. Under the supervision of Mrs. Mclellan, they proved to be skillful in making up any type of character from a Russian widow to an aging country doctor. They are to be commended on their good work.

Instead of the usua full length play, the student body gave three one-act plays in De cember, under the direction of Mr. Sisto. "Figureheads" was a fantasy about a tem permental princess; "Escape?" held i '-s audience in suspense, wondering if the es caped prisoner would be caught; "The Boor" W?JS a Russian farce, which will long be remembered by C.H.S. play-goers.

Editing El Espiritu de 1949 has been a b·g job, and a hard one: wit-haul t-he help and co-operation of the many peop,e who have so willingly contrib uted their aid, rime, and advice to assist me, this book could never have been published. Mr. Day of the Progress Bulletin has been paVien and has given me invaluable assistance. Mr. Morris and Mr. King have gone out of their way to take pictures at our numerous school events. The facul y members have been sympathetic and helpful. To Mrs. Mclellan, our annual advisor, and Mrs. Ma honey go my thanks for suggestions and ideas in planning and writing the an nual. To Mrs. Mclellan and Mr. Boo�h go my appreciation for working so hord to make he Annual Talent Show such a success. I realize hat without- our ad vertisers and sponsors we could not h,we an annual, and I wish to · ank them sincerely. And lastly, I would like to express my gratitude lo my hard-working staff, who have spent so many long hours doing the many jobs that I could not possibly have done myself. The Editor
