Signed: The Graduates of 1950 CLASS PROPHESY The sun rises again over the modern, hustling little city of Bellarthur - truly a picture of progress and prosperity. Let’s look in on the graduates of 1950, for they helped to make it so. See that imposing structure across the street? That’s the First National Bank of Bellarthur, and there’s the president going in the door now. Who would have thought that Harper Rasberry would have made the grade and become a bank president? Ahi What a lovely lady that is walking down the street. One can tell at a glance that she is a business woman, and successful too. I -JVhy it’s Ellen Lloyd J I Above the noise of the busy street can be heard another sound. ! The roar of the motors of a large passenger plane fills the air. The plane is one of many belonging to Pan-American Airways, which has a I branch in Bellarthur. President of this local branch is none other than our old classmate Roland Young. That’s a shiney new patrol car Cpl. Bill Erwin is driving. We understand that Bill has a fine record in Highway Patrol work. Criminals had better watch out when he gets on their trail. II
