They elected Jon Pitt as President, Joan Grucelski, Vice- President, and Mary Ellen Pabich, Secretary-Treasurer. Then came the time to put the green Freshmen into their places. The initiation was regarded as a great success by all concerned, and the Freshmen came back with a grand return party. Homecoming was the next big event of the year. James Biser was chosen by the class as its attendant and with Sailing To Victory as our Hoat theme, we won second place in the parade. James Biser, David Guell, Roger Benzschawel, Paul Harycki, Bill Harycki, Don- ald Ryniec, Eugene Wilhelm, and John Klick represented our class in football, those in basketball included: James Biser, David Guell, Paul Harycki, Bill Harycki, Donald Ryniec, James Schauer, Rex Schmidt, and Eugene Wilhelm. We were proud to have Mary Ellen Pabich, Ruth Smigaj, and Joan Grucelski to represent us in forensics. Mary Ellen won second in the school serious declamation contest and traveled to Stanley and Eau Claire to participate in the area contests. Diane Zaborowski and James Biser represented the Sophomore Class in the Student Council. The Class of '56 led by Bernice Butterfield, who became the high salesman, did its best to make the Curtis Drive a success. We also took an active part in many other extracurricular activities.

Freshman Class DANNY WINGER J1-:AN MATTES KITTY KENNEY President Vice-President Servetary-Treasurer As in other years, we, a class of seventy-nine students, entered Thorp High School as green freshies and took all the kidding that went with it, but we soon overcame this and established our place in the school. With Mr. Hirzy, our class advisor, we met and elected our officers for the year. We chose Danny Winger, Presidentg Jean Mattes, Vice Presidentg and Kitty Kenney, Secretary. We also chose Ann Hedler and Elaine Fortek to represent the Freshman Class on the Student Council. The Sophomore Class held the annual initiation for us on October 16th and made us official members of Thorp High School, and we responded with the usual return party. Ann Hedler was chosen Junior Cheerleader by the Booster Club. The Freshman Class is very proud of its accomplishments in the Curtis Drive, for we worked hard and came out on top under the leadership of our captains Ann Hedler, Kitty Kenney, and Ray Price. Our class chose Keith Glasshof to be Homecoming Attendant. In the Freshman Declamation contest, Cathy Conway and Kitty Kenney tied for first place and will have their names engraved on the trophy. Others taking part in the finals were: Ralph Sherberg, Susan Rusch, Jolanta Mikolainis, Alice Giwojna, and John Klouda. We took a great interest in all sports and had boys out for football, including Don Soderberg, who earned a T. Several boys also went out for basketball and baseball. We were also active in other extracurricular activities. We felt that we have made a good start and look forward to the future soberly, yet eagerly. Page Twenty - eight
