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
