A SeattlePI.com blogger known as the Uptown Girl recently wrote a post that perfectly illustrated the wonderful, lasting value of yearbooks.

She used a 1959 yearbook from Seattle-area Bellevue High School to learn a little bit about the school’s history, and how life was different then.

The most interesting observations include the images of Bellevue from that many years ago, and how the town has changed since then, as well as what some of the students ambitions were and what they went on to do, including one who would go on to become a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.
