The Thorp High School graduation class of 1923 celebrated their 50th class
reunion with a delicious dinner at the Thorpedo on Saturday evening, September
8, 1973.
They were very honored to have as a special guest one of their former
instructors, Mr. Art Gaffney, of Stanley. During the dinner, Mr. Kenneth
Lindquist, master of ceremonies, asked each member to give a short sketch of his
or her life, covering the past 50 years.
Following the dinner all were invited to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chet Glasshof,
where the remainder of the evening was spent reminiscing about old times and
escapades of their school days.

come, and two are deceased.
