Qrct:11'ii-s liviicvicxc lim-ll :ind vlulizi Kliirnicli, Curtis Drive The aim in this yearls Curtis Drive had been to surpass the 353,000 goal of the last two years. However, even with the inevitable support of the Freshmen, Thorp High School was unable to top this mark, but the receipts at the end of the drive showed a respectable fE2,6T'T.49. The high Salesman for the 1953-1954 season was Bernice Butter- field with 35120, a diHicult mark for other students to reach in the future. Her prize was a beautiful Benrus wrist watch. At the end of the drive, the customary drawing' was held at which Arnold Smith claimed a handsome Benrus watch. The trophy, given to the student whose name was drawn from a pool made up of students selling over 3330 in subscriptions, went to Edward Bieno. VVith the aid of the two competent secretaries, Julia Muenich and Genevieve Guell, Thorp High School concluded another successful year of Curtis Drive Sales. lint-cliiigz: Rav Price, Fred Kcnncv.

Student Council The Student Council was organized 4 yea1's ago to demonstrate democratic prin- ciples in the school and has advanced rapidly. Since the president of the council is to be a Senior, 3 students are chosen from the Senior Class to serve on the council, and two students are chosen from each of the other classes. This yearls work began by electing Bill Urban as President, Richard Alger for Vice-President and Betty Neiman as Secretary-Treasurer. Guided by Mr. Gaffney, the council completed many successful projectsg the main one was the bringing about of noonday movies. Suggestions for improvements in the school are collected by the members, brought up at the meetings and acted upon. This not only gives the students a chance to prove themselves as fine citizens and good leaders, but also makes our school a better place in which to live and work. Page l7ort5'-two
