Recently, being restless and weary with the 'cares of the day, I long for a change of scene and time. So, closing my eyes and relaxing, I wished myself and my classmates into the future fifteen years from now. I found that in these fifteen years I had kept in close touch with all the members of the Class of 1949. Perhaps this rather gigan- tic task had been made easier by the fact that I found myself working in the main office of the American Export Company in New York City, with branch offices in all large foreign cities, which kept me in contact with all strange and exciting places. So vivid and complete was my trip into the future that I aroused from my fanciful dream with information about all my classmates fifteen years from now. I am certain you will be interested.

W.. w-.vl vq1q1v,..,.,.., CLASS C REED Allene Stroope We believe first of all in our own Norman High School This school has been kind to us and has given us her best lnstruction and guidance for these many years We do not believe there could ever be another school quite so fine or one so dear to our hearts as this We hope that the classes to follow us will be as loyal as we have been and we will always treasure our hallowed memories of dear Norman High and believe ui her just as smcerely as we do tonight. Because we believe so whole -heartedly in our school we hardly need tell you how completely we believe in our dear superintendent and teachers, who have done so much for us throughout these years We believe m all they have told us, all they have taught us and all they have shown us by their advice and example. We believe thirdly in our good old state Arkansas and in the pride of all her towns Norman Long may she live and prosper None can surpass and few can compare to our way of thinking with Arkansas --her temperate climate, her scenic views and her vast possibilities for the future make us glad that Arkansas has nurtured us and can call us her children To believe so devotedly in our ownstate we must also have an even larger belief in the republic of which she is so vital a part We believe our UnitedStates of America should and will continue to be a guidmg light and inspiration to other nations--holding aloft the torch of justice for the common man giving liberty to all and the rights offree people in a free world To our glorious flag symbol of courage purity and truth we renew within ourselves each day our pledge of allegiance as an American citizen and count it a blessing from God that we haven been premitted to live and study in a land where all are born equal and each with equal opportunities Fifthly we believe in our class motto, We build the ladder by which we rise We do not believe that we could have found more inspiring words had we searched all languages and dialects Everybody whether he knows it or not, has one predominatmg principle of his life one supreme influence one inspiring force by which all his acts are shaped and arranged lf this principle is a worthy one his life will be one of nobility and honor it therefore stands us well in hand to think strongly and seriously of the prmciple that is to be the foundation of our life. Truly indeed do we believe heart and soul in the motto which we have chosen, We build the ladder by which we rise We believe sixthly in our school colors, red and white We believe that it is fitting for all indu iduals or groups to show their colors bravely and boldly, that the world and their friends may know exactly where they stand Our colors, red and white emblem of courage and purity symbolize to us all that a perfect life should consist of and we shall make it one of our ambitions to cause the world to beliexe in them too Last of all friends we believe ln ourselves Our faith in ourselves is not because of someone else s faith in us or lack of faith but m spite of it We think 1 1 . . . 1 1 . . . . . 1 . . . . 1 . . . . . . . 1 . . . . . . . 1 . . . . 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 . . . 1 1 . . . . . . 1 . 1 . . 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 . . .
