DEDICATION OF THE NEW ADDITION On April 3, 1955, at 3:00 P. M., the Thorp Public School held the dedication of its new addition. Preceding the dedication, members of the Student Council conducted guided tours of the school for anyone interested. Following the tours, the high school band presented a short concert. At approximately 2:45 P.M., Reverend Francis Piekarski, of St. Hedwig's Catholic Church, recited the invocation. Mr. Corwin Guell, Director of the School Board, presented the members of the school board and the members of the building committee. Mr. Guell also introduced all other speakers in their turn. Directly following the Greetings extended by Mayor Nolchek, Mr. LeVee, architect of the new addition, presented the key of the school to Mr. Qualle, principal. Reverend Arnold Muckerheide, of St. Bernard's Catholic Church, presented the prayer of dedication. At this time, a mixed quartet, consisting of Nancy Lindquist, Diane Zaborowski, Don Soderberg, and Richard Alger, presented a musical selection. Mr. Francis Conway immediately int1'o- duced the guest speaker, the honorable W. P. Knowles, Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin. Following the Lieutenant Governor's address, Ruth Bogumill, President of the Student Council, extended thanks and appreciation, on behalf of the entire student body, to all who were concerned in any way in the construction of our new addition. A boys' quartet: Eugene Wilhelm, Don Soderberg, Jim Schauer, and Leon Kotecki, then presented a vocal selection, after which Mr. Wenninger, a member of the faculty, spoke in behalf of all faculty members. Reverend Robert Olson, of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, offered the benediction. Following the dedication program, more guided tours were conducted, and free refreshments were served in the new cafeteria. From the Student Body: We, the students of Thorp High School, feel it is a great honor and privilege to be attending such a fine high school as the one just recently dedicated. Although we cannot express the thanks we feel, we are well aware that it took a great expendi- ture of money, time, effort, and sacrifice to bring such a fine building into existence. It is a debt which we can never hope to repay. But what we can try - and TRY we will - will be to continue through our efforts, to uphold the traditions and accomplish- ments of the Thorp High School in ways which will, we hope, make you proud - proud of us, proud of Thorp, proud of our school. This much we pledge with all our hearts - We'll do our very best! Page Sixty-four
