STUDENT COUNCIL Standing: Allene Kenney, Richard Swienton, Mr. Backus, Dick Wag- ner, Charmaine Wolf. Seated: Geraldine Polnaszek, Armon Schmidt, Lorraine Skaleski, Rog- er Turenne, Dorothy Boardman. STUDENT COUNCIL For the first time in the history of Thorp High School a Student Council was formed. It consisted of three members from the Senior class and two from each of the other classes. The Council included Roger Turenne and Dorothy Board- man, freshmen, Allene Kenney and Armon Schmidt, sopho- mores, Charmaine Wolf and Richard Swienton, juniors, Lor- raine Slcaleslci, Geraldine Polnaszek, and Richard Wagner, seniors. Mr. Backus acted as advisor. The officers were as follows: Richard Wagner, president, Lorraine Slcaleslci, vice-president, and Charmaine Wolf, secretary Despite inexperience in the Council's pioneering stage, the Council accomplished much. It sponsored a benefit dance for the purpose of purchasing phonograph records. Library privi- leges were arranged for the freshmen who were on the honor- able mention or above. The 5th BL 6th grade hall was turned into a boys' cloak room for those taking eight ofcloclc classes. The Council also arranged to have school dances end at 11:30 instead of 11:00. Noonday dancing was also held about once every two weeks. There are many problems that the Council left in the blueprint stage, but the impetus provided by this year's Council should carry over into the next school year. Page Thirty- Eve
