Whether it was participating in a Homecoming skit, dancing in the musical, or going to a party, the Edina student always was sure to be involved during after school hours. One couldn't go home and start on homework, for the ' best years of our lives was based on memories made and friends gained. Truly, one of the profits earned by the Edina student was his all-important social life. A student had a variety of school-oriented programs to choose from. The fall musical. Hello. Dolly!, was a smash success. The cast of dedicated performers provided a night of delightful entertainment for the sellout crowd. Homecoming was a high point in any Edina High School students' life. The dance, held in the Southdaie Center, was attended by a large portion of the student body. The band Sussman Lawrence provided the entertainment for an evening to be remembered. As the snows fell in February, yet another dance was held After a visit by the balloon man. Molly Johnson celebrate with balloon to help appease the mid winter blahs. Sweetheart, it was called, and a memorable event it was. The school's organizations also provided entertainment throughout the school year. Several band concerts, such as Pops, and choir concerts, such as Current Jam. were the musical outlets for the student that enjoyed music. On the other hand, there were plenty of other activities that the Edina student participated in without the involvement of the school. Summer was an extraordinary season, and students will long remember cruising Lake Harriet and the vacation at a friend's cabin. Fads and fashions were an event, with the adoption of trendy sweatshirts and sweater vests. Students will remember the Tylenol scare, and the infamous crow that attacked students between classes. Social events such as parties, movies, and even intimate dinners for two were stepping stones on the way to discovering our likes and dislikes. But whatever the case, an Edina Students’ after-school involvement was certainly one of importance. STUDENT LIFE 11
