Senior Class History ln 1939 the Truesdale Consolidated jet plane started on its long twelve year journey with eleven frightened children as its passengers. They were Charles Barlow, Dorothy Bolte, Donald Brazel, Warren Clark, Timothy Hoffman, Laura McConkey, Norma Jean McConkey, Darlene Ohrtman, Merlyn Schramm, George Weiland, and Marlene Weiland. Mrs. Horlacher at the controls stopped the plane to let off Norma .Tean McConkey. On the second flight of our journey with Mrs. Horlacher still at the controls, we had the same passengers with the exception of Warren Clark, who transferred to a country jet plane, and George Weiland, who parachuted out to take a later plane. Also there was one new passenger, Phyllis Rohwer, who we picked up in the middle of the year. Glendora Burbank took over the controls on the third flight of our journey. We lost Marlene Weiland but gained Jerry Stoltz so still had the same number of passangers. We continued our fourth flight with Miss Burbank still at the controls but lost three passengers at mid-year. They were Jerry Stolti, Charles Barlow, and Shirley Johnson. On our fifth flight our little group had dwindled to five. However, it increased one when Herbert Roberts hopped on board. We succeeded that year with a new pilot at the controls, Miss Eulalia Miller. The list of passengers on our sixth trip included Donald Brazel, Laura McConkey, Phyllis Rohwer, Dorothy Bolte, and Herbert Roberts. Four new passengers were let on board. They were Lyle Rosdail, who transferred from the plane RembrandtI': Roberta Hassinger and Phyllis Davis, who changed from the jet plane Newell , and Merlyn Schramm who hopped back on board from taking a short ride on the Parochial plane. However, we lost two of our regular passengers, Dorothy Bolte and Herbert Roberts. Miss Miller was guiding us at the controls. The seventh year of our journey Mrs. Margaret Koch replaced Miss Miller as our pilot. We lost one passenger, Phyllis Rohwer, who boarded a plane for Colorado, but were joined by two new ones: June Banks and Phyllis Lloyd. On taking our eighth flight together we were joined by an old friend, Warren Clark, who started out on our plane. We had two pilots that year. Mrs. Koch started us out smoothly but Mrs. Lyle McDiarmid succeeded her at the controls. lZ

Senior Class Prophecy The seniors of '50 on graduation night agreed to again rneet in the halls of our old Alma Mater in exactly twenty years. So here it is May 18, 1970, and I, Audrey Teri-ill, am again venturing back once again into the dusty old halls of Truesdale High. None of the sights look familiar, in fact, the whole building is different. It is about ten tizrps larger. ll was told that they have expanded tt to include Storm Lake, whkh is now a suberb of Truesdale.J Wandering down the halls I spy a skinny looking lady gazing with a fixed stare at the pictures. Yes sir, it's none other than Phyllis Davis. Phyllis is President Manley's sec- retary. She is not married yet, since she says she doesn't care for men and never has. Phyl uses her spare tirne visiting older people in mental hospitals. She drives around in av- old '50 Buick, which her Dad gave her. The next person to arrive was Lyle Rosdail. My has he changed. Lyle is now an old man who seems to have no sense of humor and his sour old face reflects the life of misery he has led. Lyle tells us that he inhetrited 815,000 from a rich uncle in Vermont, which he lnvested in a cosmetics company. He is married and has two children. Donald Brazel is the next class member to stroll in. He tells us that he is a bachelor at the present tllne. lThere are ruxnors that he may znarry the wife of the late President Stanley., Donald is the owner of the Jet Cars Inc. . He seems to be quite the white collar type of business man, with an interest in only richer people. Naturally he drives one of his new Jet Cars for advertising purposes, I imagine. Arriving ne 'is none other than Warren Clark. It was quite a shock when.a thin bald man walked in. ouths fell open when he was finally recognized, but we soon recovered when it was discovered that he was still the same old Warren. He relates that he has settled ln a small town and is a manager GI a small chain organization. Warren is also married and ls the father of triplets , all girls. The last one to arrive of the classmates is none other than,Merlyn Schramrn. I-Ie's not hard to recognize since he is known nation-wide. He is billed as the second Bob Hope . He has his own radio and television shows. When asked the key to his success, he answered, I just act natural. Merlyn is married to a. movie actress and they have two bundles of joy, one 15 years old and the other 10. Slnce everyone has told of their achievements, I guess that I might as well tell mine too. I seem to be the only one of our class that hasn't faired very well, but I'm satiifted. I'm married and have four children. Since my husband is out of work at the present tina, as usual, I have to take in washings for our living. They tell me that l have changed In only one way. I am now quiet and reserved, After we had visited for some time a wonderful meal was served by the Truesdale Ladies' Aid, headed by Miss Yogel. Mr. Donald Madsen acted as head walter. We were informed that Mr. Halterman was chief cook. The meal and visit were enjoyed by everyone and the former class of 1950 wiht back to their old jobs much refreshed and ready for more work.. '14
