Representative SENIOR CLASS HISTORY CLASS COLORS- Blue and White CLASS FLOWER - White Rose CLASS MOTTO - Our Future is Wlmt We M ake it We of the Senior Class entered Thorp High School as a group of 66 green Freshmen in September, 1947. Our first job was to elect class ofiicers. With Mrs. North as our advisor, we elected-Margie Moczarny, president, Clarence Piwoni, vice president, Richard Wagner, secre- tary, Wally Kozlowski, S.A.F. represent'ative. The Sophomores greeted us with the traditional initiation party. Our hrst memorable event was the Return Party. Homecoming was the next event, and Elaine Cook was elected as attendant from our class. During this year the Booster Club chose as new cheer leaders, Carol Papierniak and Donna Brzezinski. In March of 1948 the Freshmen Declamation Con- test was held. Carol Papierniak's selection was awarded iirst place. Thus her name was engraved on the Freshmen Cup. We now became Sophomores. Under the supervision of Mrs. Swanson, we elected Carol Papierniak as our president, Wally Kozlowski as our vice president, Donna Brzezinski as our secretary, and Ray Dranginis as our S.A.F. representative. Then came the annual initiation party for the Freshmen. Next came Homecoming. Geraldine Polnaszek was chosen as the Homecoming attendant to represent our class. Our candidates in forensics made us very proud. In the local contest for serious declamations, Janice Moen and Delores Meske took the first and second places respectively. Virginia Smigaj placed third with her' hum- orous declamation, and Virginia Bogumill won second place with her oration. We now became upper classmenl With Miss Trindal as our advisor, the Juniors began their year by electing the following class oHicers: Ray Dranginis, president, Duane Phillips, vice president, Lorraine Skaleski, secretary, Wally Kozlowski, S.A.F. representative. In the Homecoming parade the Junior float tied with the Seniors for first place. Our Homecoming at- Page Ten tendant was Dorothy Western. On February 18 of our Junior year we presented a Valentine Dance. It was a big success. The Juniors changed their class paper, the Cardinal', to f'Thorp High-Lites. Janice Moen and Richard Wagner were the co-editors. On May 2, 1950, the Juniors presented their class play, We Shook The Family Tree, with Carol Papierniak and Richard Wagner as the leads. The annual Junior Prom was held on May 12 with Fairy Tales as its theme. Duane Phillips was our Prom King. His Queen was Donna Brzezinski. At last we became Seniorsll To guide us t'hrough our last year in high school, we chose Janice Moen as president, Richard Navarre as vice president, Lorraine Skaleski as secretary, and Elaine Cook as S.A.F. repre- sentative. Miss Kronberg was our advisor. Gerald Soderberg was Football Captain, and Duane Phillips was Basketball Captain. There was also a number of other boys who participated in athletics. Patricia Fisher was our Homecoming Queen, and Virginia Smigaj was the attendant from our class. Our Senior Class play, A Mind Of I-Ier Own, was presented in November. Credit for its success was to be given to Mrs. Swanson, who was the director. The Christmas Ball was held on December 27. This year we again held the Girls' Prom. Its theme was For Me And My Gal. The gym was decorated very appropriately for the occasion. Lorraine Skaleski was chosen as King. Her Queen was Carol Papierniak. Throughout the year the staif of the Out O' The Pines has published its weekly news column of Thorp High events in the Thorp Courier. We shall not, of course, neglect to mention the newly-started Student Council. Richard Wagner was chosen as president. The two other members representing our class were Geraldine Polnaszek and Lorraine Skaleski. The task which was the longest and hardest was that of organizing the Seniorian. But under the able direction of Mr. Peterson, Delores Mamayek and her staff have completed the task. With four years of study behind us, we look forward to taking our place in the world. With confidence we shall go out to succeed, always remembering our motto - Our Future Is What We Make It.
