Senior Class Cfficers Roamvr BENZSCHAWEL, President JAMES WINGER, Vive President NANCY LINDQUIST, Sec'y.-Treas. Morro: The founrlatirm of life is built with the Inifflcs of charar-ter. COLORS: Red and White FLOWER: Carnation SEN ICR CLASS HISTORY We, the class of '55, entered the portals of Thorp High School on September 5, 1951. We numbered 62 and were as green as they come. Mr. Chrapla, acting as our advisor, guided us through our first year. It was with pride that we elected our class officers. The first event was our initiation which officially made us underclassmen. We were justifiably proud when Patricia Kuester was the high salesman of the Curtis Drive, having sold over S161 worth of subscriptions. Several of our boys went out for basketball and football. Thus ended our first year at Thorp High School. The following September we returned as en- thusiastic, ambitious sophomores. With Miss Dunn as our advisor, we again elected our class officers. We were quite at home in high school now. The biggest event, we thought, was the fresh- man initiation, which, in our opinion, was the most terrible yet. Several Sophomore boys won letters that year in football. They were: Neil Broeren, Robert Benz- schawel, Gordon Hansen, and John Maier. A few went out for basketball, too. And then at last the long awaited day arrived and we were Juniors. Upperclassmen! Under the guidance of Mr. Amundson and Mr. Witzig we elected our officers: Neil Broeren, Presi- dent, Robert Benzschawel, Vice Presidentg and Kathleen Badzinski, Secretary-Treasurer. We had a good representation on the football and basketball teams from our class and many re- ceived their T's. The next undertaking was the Junior paper, the Thorp Hi-Sign, edited by Kathleen Badzinski and Nancy Lindquist, with Mr. Wenninger acting as advisor. The Junior class play was the next important undertaking. Arsenic and Old Lace, was presented under Mr. Wenninger's direction and proved to be most successful. The biggest event was the Junior Prom, beauti- fully decorated to the theme of Madame Butterfly. King Neil Broeren and his queen Cathy Conway were attended by Robert Benzschawel and Kathleen Badzinski. We had made another Prom a success and also history. The year finally ended, and we were dignified Seniors. The year began with the Homecoming. Neil Broeren reigned as King, since he had been chosen football captain. Shortly after, we began work on the Senior class play, For Love and Money, a three act comedy, under the direction of Mr. Wenninger. It proved to be a fine production. The Cardinal Hi-Lites staff was chosen, and the paper was edited by Donelda Karnopp. Mrs. Swanson advised the staf, which published the column every week. The Seniors sponsored or worked with such things as Anything Goes, Girls' Prom, and the Mardi Gras. Our most important undertaking this year has been the year book. With Ruth Bogumill as Editor- in-Chief and Mr. Korpal as advisor, we produced a Seniorian of which we are very proud. And so, having completed a memorable four years of our education, we bid Thorp High School a fond farewell, and hope that our future will be as bright as these past four years have been. Page Ten
