Having completed one year of high school, the Sophomores returned, with new enthusiasm, to con- tinue their formal education. With Miss Dunn as their advisor the Class of '55 elected the following Class Oflicers: Richard Alger, Presidentg Kathleen Badzinski, Vice-Presi- dentg and Ruth Bogumill, Secretary-Treasurer. The first task undertaken by the Sophomores was that of initiating the Fr-eshies. This first big social event of the year proved to be a huge success. Nine Sophomore boys went out for football. Those receiving letters were Neil Broeren, Robert Benszchawel, Gordie Hanson and John Maier. The Sophomores placed four boys on the Basketball Teams. They were Richard Jarocki, Gordon Hanson, Neil Broeren and Richard Alger. The Sophomore Class went all-out to help make the Curtis Drive such a huge success. Dorothy Badzinski was the high salesman for the school with a total of 3164.25 in subscription sales. Representing the Sophomore Class on the Stu- dent Council, were Neil Broeren and Ronald Schultze. From this they gained much valuable experience on student government. Homecoming Was a big event for the Sophs this year. Joanne Micke was elected a Homecoming At- tendant. Many long hours of hard work and prepara- tion gave the Sophomores a winning float. Richard Alger and Ruth Bogumill were the two Sophomores who had achieved high scholastic honors during the first semester. The Sophomores also placed several students on the Honorable Mention. The Class of '55 was well represented in all extra-curricular activities. Page Twenty-two

Freshman Class JAMES SCHAUER, Pfresidentg JOSEPHINE HMIELAK, Secretary- Treasurerg DAVID GUELL, Vice-Pfresident. It was September 1, 1952, when sixty-five eager looking Freshmen entered the realms of Thorp High School. It wasn't long before they overcame their timidity and took their place among the student body. With Mr. Korpal as their advisor the Freshmen elected the following class officers: Jim Schauer, President, David Guell, Vice-President, and Joseph- ine Hmielak, Secretary-Treasurer. On September 26, the Sophomores administered the annual Freshmen Initiation. With the event, this group of underclassmen became official members of Thorp High. A few weeks later the Freshmen grac- iously honored the Sophs and the upper classmen with a return party. Homecoming Festivities were something new for the Freshmen. The class chose Josephine Hmielak as their attendant to the Homecoming Queen. This year three Freshmen girls were chosen, by the Booster Club, to be Junior Cheerleaders. They were Maxine Turenne, Ruth Smigaj, and Bernice Butterfield. Q The Freshmen elected Diane Zaborowski and Mary Ellen Pabich to represent their class on the Student Council. Three Freshmen boys were part of the football squad. They were Roger Benzschawel, Mike Biser, and David Guell, Jim Schauer, David Guell, Paul Harycki, Roger Benzschawel, Mike Biser, and Bill Harycki took part in basketball. In the Freshmen Declamation Contest, held in March, Ruth Smigaj placed first and had her name engraved on the Freshmen Declamation Trophy. The six students who competed with Ruth were Jo Ann Grucelski, Dorothy Gollhardt, Mary Ellen Pabich, Mike Biser, Lou Ann Kaminski, and David Guell. Scholastically, the Freshmen Class did well. When the first semester ended we saw the names of Darlene Gulcynski and David Guell on the High Honor Roll. Freshmen also took an active part in other extra-curricular activities, such as, Mixed Chorus, Band, Curtis Drive, F.F.A., and F.H.A. Page Twenty-four
