'X ww Mr THOMAS Hmscn, I'o-esiflent ROGER HOFFMAN, Vice-Piresiflent BETTY ANN NEIMAN, Secretary SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, of the Senior class, entered Thorp High School on September 4, 1950 as a group of 72 timid but eager Freshmen. Aided by Mrs. Giere, our class advisor, we proudly elected our class officers. A big event for us as Freshmen was our initia- tion. As frightened as is possible, we suffered the consequences without losing a single student in the torture. Of course, we were all eager for the declamation contest to get underway, and it ended gloriously when Marylin Plansky placed first in the school finals. Having completed our first year, we returned as enthusiastic, ambitious Sophomores. Under the guid- ance of Miss Dunn, we again elected our class officers. This year we were on the giving end of the initiation, and we really did it up in style. The Booster Club honored us by choosing Mar- gie Cook and Marylin Plansky as Junior cheerleaders. With a busy year ahead of us, we entered school as hard-working Juniors. Mr. Amundson guided us through this rugged year. As our first business, the class ofhcers were elected. Roger Turenne was chosen to be president. This meant that he and the Queen of his choice, Josephine Hmielak, were honored to reign over the annual Junior Prom. During the year, Betty Ann Neiman was chosen as a Junior Cheerleader, while Margie Cook and Marylin Plansky entered the Senior cheerleading section. Next on the list, the Junior Class Play, Stranger in The Night, directed by Miss Dunn was presented. Since this was our first chance as actors, we felt we performed the feat well. Soon it became time for our Junior Prom. With Stairway To The Stars, as our theme, music by Howard Sturtz, and enhanced by a beautifully deco- rated auditorium with a large gathering, we thought this was the nicest and most enjoyed prom staged at our school. Our long awaited Senior year finally arrived. This has brought about many responsibilities for us. We helped sponsor the Homecoming Dance, the Sen- ior Class play, Maid to Order, the Christmas Ball, the Girls' Prom, and the Seniorian. Perhaps the greatest responsibility was the edition of the 1954 Seniorian. With Pat Maslowski as editor and a fine staff to assist her, Mr. Gaffney as Chief advisor, and Mr. Hirzy, Literary advisor, we feel, and trust that you will feel, that our Senior- ian maintains the high standards of those produced in the past. We, the graduating class of 1954, have now layed the first, and perhaps the heaviest stone in our path of life. We will strive for only the choicest stones and make our path one on which we can be proud to travel. Farewell, Thorp High School, Farewell. Page Ten
