This presenta- tion, centered around the antics of two fourteen year old girls, played by Pat Kenney and Virginia Kinas, was well-received by the audience. The two girls delude several sailors fEddie and Bob Wojtalewiczl into think- ing they are of marriageable age. Fortunately, in sufficient time to stave oil a major catastrophe, Chuck Wolf, in the roll of Aunt Sandra, comes to the rescue. The production was under the direction of Miss Dunn. THE LIBRARY CLUB LIBRARY CLUB The members of the Library Club, advised by our school librar- ian, Miss Dunn, serve the student body in the capacity of Junior librarians. Each member serves as librarian during one period of the day, keeps records, and assists students in finding materials. This club not only aids the student body generally, but it benefits its own members who learn through doing.

FORENSICS The cultivation of the basic Speech skills is the primary motive of our Forensics group. Mr. Grassl, our Speech teacher and Forensics coach, has emphasized the importance of speak- ing and listening as attributes of the well- rounded personality. In the fall, Speech students began working on their first activity, the Armistice Day Pro- gram. On Monday, November 12 this program was presented before the assembled stud-ent body. It consisted of serious declamations, read- ings, musical numbers, and a one-act play. Those students who participated were as follows: Dave Dobrzynski, Allene Kenney, Bob Wojtale- wicz, Eddie Woijtalewicz, Nancy Lindquist, Rosanne Conway, Pat Kenney, Virginia Kinas, Bernadette Cukla, and Ruth Bogumill. As in previous years Thorp students took part in the league and district contests. Our local Speech contest was held in two sections-one on March 12 and the other on March 14. Out of approximately forty partici- pants these students emerged as winners: Humorous Declamation: Rosanne Conway, Eddie Wojtalewiczg Serious Declamation: Julia Kaminski, Pat Kenney, Learned Oratory: Virginia Kinas, Bob Wojtalewiczg Original Oratory: Dave Dobrzynski, Lillian Przybylski, Four-minute Speech: Bernadette Cukla, Allene Kenney, Extemporaneous Speaking: Richard Wiater, Gene Zaskeg Extemporaneous Reading: Tasia Harycki, Pat Urbas.
