Class Prophecy J.C. Miller Professor of English Yale University Hartford, Connecticut Dear Mr. Miller: May 23, 1965 In your letter you asked if I knew the whereabouts of our class of '50. All have climbed the ladder of success and fame, and I am very proud that I was a teacher of that class. I have saved the clippings concerning all of our class in the recent years, and I am sending you the following: WELD KNOWN ROPER RETIRES Dec. 21, 1964 - Everyone remembers Billy Bynum who defeated Toots Mansfield for the title of Champion Calf Roper of the World.
