Class of 1950 – Taken at the Old Trona School on Main Street 1940-1941 Front row, left Aloha Hunter, right, Dorothy DeYoung, third from right, Barbara May. Second row, second from left, Ray Bell, fourth, Joan McGregor I think, last, Hugh Anderson who still works at the Trona Railway or is retired from there. In the back row, the boy in the plaid shirt lived in West End, can’t remember his name, but he died a few years after this picture was taken. A shock to the whole class. — Ray Bell
Hi, I went to Trona school from kindergarten to 6 grade
I had sever asthma so we moved from LA to the desert in 1944 hopefully to get well. One year later I was well, living in the desert. My father was a mechanical engineer and was able to get a job there. My mom left us in 1963 and moved back and remarried Larry Elledge. I remember a lot of the other kids I went to school with and wearing bare feet to school in the summer
Great place for kids
