Several boys took an active part in sports this year, and the following received their T's: Neil Broeren, Robert Benzschawel, Carl Johnson, John Maier, and Justin Jakowiez in football, Gordie Hanson, Richard Alger and Richard Jarocki in basketball. The Junior paper, Thorp Hi-Sign, was edited by Nancy Lindquist and Kathleen Badzinski, with Mr. Wenninger acting as advisor. The paper was published bi-monthly and enjoyed immensely by the readers. At the end of their first semester, Ruth Bogumill, Annette Hokkanen, Richard Alger, Lillian Maziarka, and Estelle Wargolet placed their names on the honor roll. Arsenic and Old Lace, a mystery-comedy was presented by the Junior Class and directed by Mr. Wenninger. A very large audience attended. With Madame ButterHy as the theme for the Junior Prom, 'the class worked industriously for the big event which was held on Saturday, May 1. With music by Billy Uthemier, and Neil Broeren and Cathy Conway as King and Queen, another successful prom is again history. After an eventful year filled with successes, the class of 1955 is looking forward to summer vacation and will return as dignified Seniors next fall. Page Twenty-four

Religious Instructions We, at Thorp High School, have learned that it is almost impossible to be good citizens without being good, worth-while Christians. We feel that it is necessary to know the truth about the Author of our rights and the norms which he meant us to follow. Our four freedoms come to us from the God which our Constitution recognizes. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Qualle and the Board of Education for allowing us one hour a week during which we can learn these truths which are so important to our spiritual life, Fathers Piekarski and Zoromski of St. Hedwig's and Father Muckerheide of St. Bernard's for so ably and efficiently in- structing us in this significant phase of our education. sh-nmzmil FATHER FRANCIS PIEKARSKI FATHER HERBERT ZOROMSKI FATHER ARNoLo lVll'CKI-JRHFIDI Sf H0!,Zl'Z..Q'S C'r1H1oI1'r' C'll1l7'l'fI Sf.

It was our great privilege in instructing the larger portion of Thorp High School and it is my earnest prayer that you carry into practice what you have now learned. Please always remember, whatever you do, you are not doing it alone. It is always 'God and myselff May God shower His choicest blessings upon each and every member of the Class of 1954. You have shown wonderful spirit and given a fine example throughout your years in Thorp High - carry that same spirit throughout life, if you do, that life will be worthwhile living. My heartiest congratulations with a sincere wish of future health and success. Csigneclb FATHER HERBERT P. ZoRrm1sKI Page Twenty - three
