SENIOR OFFICERS William Smith. President: Penelope Kettering. Treasurer: George Glick. Vice- president; Carol Maurer, Secretary. SENIORS On September 4, 1953, we, the members of the Class of 1957, entered the halls of Edison as freshmen. We chose as our first leaders: Lawrence Petruzelli. president; Verle Jones, vice-president; Judith Keyak, secretary; and Robert Muraco, treasurer. We proved that we could mix fun with work by holding a dance, the Turkey Hop, and winning the Freshman Basketball T rophy. Time moved on and we were sophomores. We were now accustomed to high school life, and we settled down to work. Our class officers were: presi- dent, Bernard Halaschak: vice-president, William Smith: secretary, Mary Muldoon; and treasurer, Shirley Anne Walker. Our class dance proved to be a real success. Finally, we were upper classmen: we were juniors. It was an exciting year — choosing our class rings, the girls ' powder puff football game, the win- ning of the Holiday Basketball Tournament, the setting of two new track records, and the Junior-Senior Prom. Our junior class officials were: president, Ray Boylan; vice-president, Jacqueline Pocialik: secretary, Phyllis Maurer; and treasurer, Angela Glorioso. Our most important year had arrived as we were seniors at last. We moved into our new senior high school building and. also, tied for the football championship in the Calumet Conference for the first time in the history of the school. The officers who led our class were: William Smith, president; George Glick, vice-president; Carol Maurer, secretary; and Penelope Kettering, treasurer. On May 9, the junior class held a Prom in our honor at the Marquette Park Pavilion. Senior pictures, award jackets and sweaters, name cards, and commencement announcements heralded the arrival of graduation day. Al- though we were happy to be graduating, we were sorry to leave our classmates, teachers, friends, activities, and school. On May 26, we donned our caps and gowns for Baccalaureate. Thus, we brought to an end our four wonderful high school years and began a new era in our lives. On May 28, we, the members of the Class of 1957, were graduated. 12 The 1957 Edisoniart
