Way Back When


 The Thorp Courier  --   April 26, 2006
 


What a handsome threesome of couples, all decked out for the prom. Flounces and fresh flowers galore for the girls, and crisply pressed suits and shining shoes for their beaus.

Who are these three couples, and to where did their destinies take them? When was this photograph taken, and was it before a Thorp High School prom or that of a neighboring school? Pictures like this always bring back many fond memories—what are a few of yours?

 

Last Week's Photo

Front Row: ?, ?, Leon Bogumill, Bill Vanderhyde, ?, Arnie Velcheck, and Ray Schmidt.
