THE edis onifl n 1942 PUB L t SHE 0 BY EDISOn HIGH SCHOOL EAST GARY, INDIANA FOREWARD Only through the cooperation of everyone included between these covers has the publication of The Edisonian been made possible. We, the staff, wish to express our deepest apprecia- tion to the administration, the fac- ulty, the students, and the organiza- tions for their splendid cooperation. We sincerely hope there is much within these pages to keep your memo- ries of Edison happy, and that though the future may as yet be uncertain for you, your high-school days may always be worth-while to you. The Edisonian Staff OUR HERITAGE We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, in- sure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Jbiia , 11 -  . Sens â A TRIBUTE In any town of any race, at any time or any place, the cen- ter of affectionate interest seems inevitably focused upon its youth-- tall , vital youngsters--no longer boys, yet not quite men Here they have lived from earliest infancy. They rode these sidewalks, in wide-eyed baby wonder, in various types of baby carriages propelled by smiling young mothers. They learned to travel on spreading roller skates and to successfully manage way- ward scooters along these same avenues. They traveled their first two-wheelers on the townâs roads to worry mothers, and their first rattling jeeps to worry fathers. They recited funny sing-song stanzas on Mother ' s Day in the town ' s Sunday schools. They learned to tap dance, sang in oper- ettas, joined the school band with their first quavering instru- ments, or won honors in a basketball squad. Anywhere and everywhere about the town they gathered like noisy little monkeys to enliven all activities with their pre- cious youth. The town loved them in their baby carriages, yet they managed to endear themselves even more with each passing year. They won debating honors, scholastic scholarships, typing badges, basketball trophies, and medals for outstanding musical achievement. They graduated and a new group sat in their seats and assumed their responsibilities, yet they remained a valued part of the life of the home town. Strange then, that any chain of events could increase our love for all of them. Yet in this year, 1942, they are closer to our hearts than ever before. For our splendid young men are in uniform; they are scattered to the four corners of the globe-- yet united in a glorious single purpose--to preserve for other boys in this and every other town the same privileges, the same community activities and affections that combined to produce the splendid youth of the greatest of all nations. We know that our boys, wherever they arc, will be as outstanding, as cooperative, as clean, and as fearless as when they fought a friendly rival team for a basketball trophy for Edison. vve are cheering for them, hoping for them, praying for them, and loving them today as never before. May they all come march- ing homo ! Clifford Jefferis s . d , H 0 § H CMŽŠ!, ADMINISTRATION VIRGIL I. BAILEY, A.B., M.S. REEDER STROUBE, A.B., M.S. Superintendent of East Gary Sohoole Principal of Edison High School BOARD OF EDUCATION EARL C. KLINE Secretary JOHN P. KIMMELL President THE SCHOOLS AND THE WAR Today American schools face the greatest challenge in their history. America ' s educators are now in the fore- front of the battle for freedom, providing important support for our armed forces and the workers in our war industries. They can .in this war by making full use of the tools of good citizenship. Our concept of frec- dom--the very thing we arc nov; fighting for--takcs form in the nation ' s classrooms. A sound understanding of democracy is the best guar- antee that this democracy will survive. The classrooms can play an important part in building that understand- ing and faith in democracy which will lead us through the upsets and defeats that may precede our ultimate victory. Donald 15. Nelson, Chairman ..hr Production Board During the present crisis it is especially urgent that the boys and girls in high school be safeguarded against a regiment- ation such as that which has overwhelmed the youth of Germany, Italy, and Japan, while they should he well-formed as to world events, and even do their bit for victory, we must not forgot that these adults of tomorrow will face a world not less chal- lenging than that which no confronts their fathers and mothers. In times of economic stress and strain, and especially in war, it is easy to emphasize the practical values of education, but difficult to maintain many of the; spiritual, intellectual, and aesthetic values. The Federal Government, with good inten- tions and perhaps of . necessity, has given subsidies for the sup- port of programs in industrial and occupational training; also certain foundations under the leadership of specialists have giv- en much financial aid for the promotion of vocational training. However noble may be the motives of these agencies, the fact re- mains that the objectives and values of secondary education have been thrown out of balance in many instances. The East Gary Schools, however, have not been able, because of limited space and equipment, even to participate in this program. Education in America is concerned with the democratic way of life. In a democracy the individual is supreme and the in- dividuals constitute the state. Every man has the right to life, liberty, an the pursuit of happiness, but not without the obligation to respect the rights of others. Since the welfare of the individual is our chief concern, the high school fulfills its obligation to democracy when it provides the opportunities for every individual of high school age to develop his whole life â intellectual , moral, aesthetic. and physical. The aim of education, therefore, is not only the acquisition of knowledge, but also the development of intelli- gent thinking and acting, ethical character, refined tastes, and energetic living moderated by stability of emotion. The high school should provide the following educational opportunities for every individual: (a) Opportunities for full self -development within the limitations of the individuals ' capacity and aptitudes, subject to such restrictions as are placed upon him in the interest of the common welfare. (b) Opportunities for the development of social out- look and insight. (c) Opportunities to develop an understanding of his natural environment. The East Gary Schools, although handicapped greatly by limited financial resources, have been striving to provide the aforementioned opportunities for our students. How well we have succeeded can be measured only by the finished product. Our measure of failure, as well as that of any community, is measur- ed to some extent by the number of students dropping out of school. The war and its attendant labor shortage has greatly- accelerated the rate in high school drop outs. In this connec- tion I wish to quote from j. Raloh Irons, Superintendent of the Evansville, Indiana, Schools. He says: The number of youth who ore dropping out of high school has reached an alarming figure, and ns the labor shortage grows increasingly more acute, many boys and girls will be tempted to quit school and secure employment. We, os parents and teachers, can serve our country by helping our young people to realize they can best serve their country by remaining in school and preparing themselves for the day when their active services will be needed. Democracy requires a tra ined and enlightened citizenry . I, therefore, take this opportunity to appeal to all of the undergraduates of the Edison High School to continue their high school training and to put a greater effort into their educational preparation, because It is a part of their patriotic duty to be prepared to make the greatest contribution possible to winning the war. The graduates, too, can serve best by con- tinuing their educational training at the present time in some institution of higher learning. President Roosevelt stated, We are all in this War: we are all in it, all the way. Sincr this quotation just about . ' - ⢠sums up the situation, lot us all unite to win; to do this, it will require the greatest sacrifice and the best contribution that every one of us can make. Yours until America emerges victorious to write a lasting Peace, Virgil Bailey, Superintendent East Gary Schools GREETINGS As we look back on the years of very pleasant association with the Senior Class, we realize that you have been a very im- portant part of Edison High School. You have added much to the school, and we hope that we have aided you to the extent that you have better use of your powers, for we have not tried to teach you all there is to learn but simply how to learn it. You are to be congratulated on com- mencing at a time when opportunity was never better, the future before you has unlimited possibilities and we wish for your continued success. As we leave to go our various ways, may the friendship created here cheer us in hours of depression and guide us in victory. F. R. Stroube, Principa doei S RUTH D. NELSON, A.B.

When we, the class of ' 42 came to Edison High in the fall of ' 38, how far away that time seemed. As we look back, those four years, filled to the brim, have passed all too quickly. We have worked and we have grumbled, but there have been pleasant memories. We have formed friendships that will influence our lives and make them richer and more worthwhile, Our class has had its share of, may we say, talented per- sons--in dramatics, in journalism, in athletics, in music, in srholarship--but now we leave our places for others to fill. We wish for you as much enjoyment as we have known Evelyn Clark, a member of the graduating class, is not pic- tured in the foregoing section. ACTIVITIES i t The Seniors have made an effort to furnish entertainment and recreation that would be both enjoyable and worthwhile fi- nancially . In October the class sponsored a roller skating party, which proved to be the most profitable of the year. Another similar party in April proved to be equally enjoyable, though not quite so profitable financially. The music of the Melody Masters and the appropriately de- corated gym made the Sweetheart s Frolic on St. Valentineâs Day an outstanding social event of the year. The Senior Play, Spring Fever, presented in April, had a capable cast and a most humorous plot. Planning during the entire year has been toward the publi- cation of The Edisonian and toward the long-awaited Commencement Week . The Baccalaureate, the first of the Commencement Week Activ- ities for forty -two Seniors, was held Sunday, May 17, in the Ed- ison Auditorium. The processional was played by Marian Thorne. The chorus, under the direction of Mr. Brubaker, sang Now The Day Is Over -- Barnby and Lord, Yiihile for All Mankind We Pray --Ross ini. Robert Barry played a clarinet solo. A very find address was given by The Reverend Park H. Netting. Gcorgiana Hott, a member of the graduating class, very ably offered the invocation and the benediction. Commencement, that long- loolced- for time, arrived on Friday, May 22, Student speakers chose the theme The Place of Our School in the Community as follows: Carl Johnson-- Our Com- munity ; Virginia Tanner â Our Schools ; Donna Mansfield â Build- ing Community Leadership Through Our Curricula ; Andrew Garberâ Building Community Leadership Through Health ; Warren Princeâ Building Community Leadership Through Activities ; Mike Kova- low -- Our Part in Defense ; Clifford Jefferis offered the invo- cation and benediction, American Legion awards were presented by Mr, Max Husted to the outstanding boy and the outstanding girl of the Class of 42, Mr, Bailey, Superintendent of East Gary Schools, presented the diplomas to the forty- two graduates. The music for Commencement was furnished by the Band and in- cluded the following numbers: Processional- - Land of Liberty â Johnson, Phantom Trumpeters --Gillette , Sharpshooters March â G, Metalo, In a Monastery Garden â Ketelbey, Scholarship averages determined Virginia Tanner as vale- dictorian and Donna Mansfield as salutatorian of the class. SCHOOL SONG E-d-i-s-o-n, we know that youâre out to win. Hear our cheers that are meant for you. We ' ll be behind you whatâeer you do. Show us - the spirit Edison High Play fairi be square, do or die T-e-a-m, Fight! fight! fight! Onward to victory! â FAREWELL To our principal and our teachers we wish to express appreciation for all that you have done for us. You have been an inspiration to us during the past four years. We have spent four important years of our lives in your care, and have received valuable training under your direction. At times we may have seemed to be ungrateful for your solicitous care, but now we see that you had only our welfare in view at all times. Members of the Junior Class, our chairs will soon be vacant, and it is you who will be called upon to fill them. As we look back over the past year, we see many ways in which we might have done better â we leave that for you to do. To the underclassmen Sophomores and Freshmen, we should like to express appreciation for their cooperation, and for their desire to learn the customs and traditions of Edison. We hope you will carry that thought high to build better the foundation for future classes . We know not what the future )iolds for us, but may we meet it with the same courage we have exem- plified in the past.

JUNIOR CLASS The Junior Class dug deep into its inexhaust- ible supply of ingenuity and supplied the school and community with many activities beneficial both in finance and in recreation. The Junior Play, Don ' t Take My Penny, was the first major event sponsored by the class. Further entertainment was provided in the form of a series of matinee dances. Halloween was com- memorated by a dance, for which the music was fur- nished by a good orchestra. The roller-skating party was enjoyed in the fall also. A novel idea was the W.P.A. (Woman Pays All) Dance. This afforded an unusual opportunity to the less aggressive girls, similar to that offered in Leap Year . The objective of all these activities was the annual social event--The Junior Prom. CLASS OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer â --Sara Goetze James Martin â Vivian Krysch Robert Clements Sponsors Miss Nabhan and Mr. Pesavento v.; , . â SOPHOMORE CLASS ⢠Due to a snow storm and the dismissal of school on Mon- day, January 5, the class party, which was to be held that evening, was postponed until the following Monday night. ' A variety of games, including a scavenger hunt and dancing, was enjoyed by those present. Refreshments of ice cream, ⢠wafers , and pop were served by the committee: Phyllis Smith, Margaret Thompson, Violet Marovich, and Marguerite Eberhardt. Clara Smith, Alverissa Faupel, Roy Courtney, and Mitchel Moroco were members of the entertainment committee. The class presented two convocations, one each semester-- the first convocation, given on December 31, presented a resume of school activities, which was obtained by means of searching through copies of four and one-half volumes of our school papers. The staff of 1941-1942 received recognition for its work and time spent in publishing the school paper. A playlet entitled The Job for Me was given for convo- cation on April 16. A proview of what some of our former students are doing and why some of our students have chosen the subjects they are taking was given. Recognition was given to students for their scholastic record attained.

FRESHMAN CLASS The large enrollment of Freshmen in Edison High School offered new recruits for a variety of activities. The Freshman Basketball Team really demon- strated the potentialities of this class, as will be seen from the resume of their games. The party, held by this class in February, was a demonstration of both initiative and co- operation of the members. To this class go the congratulations of the school--they have assumed their places in the total program, they have supported activi- ties, and they arc planning toward assuming greater responsibilities as they continue their high-school career. CLASS OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer -William Davis Elaine Kimmell â Betty Foster --Emily Werner Sponsors Mrs. Brown and Miss Nelson V U ft s E MENâS E MENS CLUB The E Mens Club was founded by Coach Doyle Baliff and Assistant Coach Harold Weber in 1939. The con- stitution was drawn up, with plans for meetings, to be hold once each month, or of toner, if the president deemed it necessary. To bc-comc a member of this club, ono must havo a major letter in one of the major sports this year either basketball or baseball. It is not compulsory to earn a major every year to remain in the ciub, so lone as the member is in good standing. During the year the E Men provided ushers and doorkeepers for home basketball games. They also sponsored the printing and distributing of largo posters on which was the complete schedule of games for the Varsity team. Dr. Ralph Eadcs, of Valparaiso, one of the fav- orite referees for Edison games, spoke to the students at the convocation sponsored by the E Men. Members of the club arc: Harold Ramsay â president, James Smith- -secretary, Roy Courtney- -treasurer, Tony Bobrowski, Fred Ehlen, Joe Konkoski, Mike Kov- al ow, Sam Melton, James Martin and Jos so Werner, with Coach Baliff as sponsor. The purpose of the cTub--to better the sports and to keep good sportsmanship a tradition in Edison High--has been the thought in all of the planning. 1 EDISON EAGLES During the past season the Eagles, under the guidance of Coach Doyle Baliff, did the usual in turning a very fine hardwood record with 16 win3 and 6 losses. Coach Baliff built this fine team around three varsity letter v inners of the previous year. These boys were James Smith, Joe Honkoski, and Walter Smith. Added to this group were Mike Kovalow, Bob Zoller, Ted Puchowskl, Tony Bobrowski Was s el Kronokwa, Andy Garber, John Ehlen, and James Kinsey. Bob Baker served very ably as student manager of the team. The Eagles started the season in very good style by winning their first three games over North Judson, Carmel, and Walnut Grove. The first to slov; down the pace of the Eagles was Crown Point, who defeated them by a 40-30 count. After the Crown Point game, the boys pulled out and defeated two tough teams --Griffith and Tolies ton â before they met another defeat by Hobart. Each defect this season seemed to inspire the boys on to greater victories. So after the Hobart defeat the Eagles went on to win each of the next three games from Merrill- ville, Chesterton and Dyer. In the first round of the Holiday Tourney, the Eagles barely edged out a 27-25 decision over Merrillville. In the semi-finals, the Eagles were eliminated from the Tourney by Crown Point, 30-24. This was only the second time the Ea.gles have lost a Holiday Tourney. After the Holidays, the first scheduled game, a confer- ence game, was lost to Wheeler, in an upset, 34-32. In the next three games with Wirt, Merrillville, and Edison (Gary), the boys showed, renewed spirit by winning all throe games. The Eagles still had hopes of winning the conference champ- ionship until Griffith defeated them by a 37-29 count. The Eagles won their remaining four games of the sched- uled season from Hobart, Portage, Crown Point, and Wirt. They played in good style, and showed that they would be dangerous contenders for the Sectional Tourney Championship. In the sectional pairings the Eagles drew Roosevelt of East Chicago, who was considered the toughest team in the Tourney, for their first game. The Eagles gave Roosevelt a tough battle and wore downed by only one point. The Eagles were supported by the student body under the able leadership of Helen Dorochoff, Alvcrissa Faupel, and Priscilla Dault, cheerleaders. - B TEAIi Tho Edison Eaglets flow high again this year. Starting the year with an inexperienced team, the young Eagles downed their first two opponents â North Judson 17 to 11, and Crown Point 27 to 14. In their third game, tho first hone game, thoy lost to the tough Griffith toar.i 22 to 19. This, however, did not break their spirit, but only mado then norc detornined to win. Tho next four genes, which wore against real rivals, were victories for Edison: Tolies ton of Gary--21 to 18; Hobartâ 27 to 26; I.!crrillvillo--20 to 16; Chesterton Rcscrvcs--23 to 19. Then the boys net Dyer on the opponentâs hone floor, where the Eaglets net a reverse. Instead of giving up tho race for the conference title, the boys resolved to win over the rest of their conference opponents. After this, the first to fall before the claws of the Eaglets was Whcclcr--24 to 10; then Y irt was defeated â 18 to 10. A non-conference game with Merrillville was lost by a score of 16 to 14. Following this came tho victory over Edison of Gary â 19 to 18; the revenge over Griffith for the former defeat with a score of 24 to 16 in Edisonâs favor. The next game was a âblow to tho pride -- defeated by Hobart 36 to 21. Other games and s cor os chalked up were victory over Portagc--24 to 23; defeated by Crown Point- -27 to 23; victory over Wirt 22 to 19. This left the Eaglets, our E Team, with a record of 12 won and 5 lost. However, they were Conference Champs with a standing of 6 wins and only 1 dofoat. Scoring totals were: Coultcr--83 points, Eownnn--68 points, Kovalow--59 points, Kinscy--56 points, Koroco--56 points, and Courtncy--22 points. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL The future Eaglets and Eagles of Edison have just completed a very successful year on the hard- wood. Starting with a group of young, unpolished players, Coach Baliff developed a smooth-working team from the following boys: John Kovalow, Ron- ald Silverthornc , Floyd Courtney, hoses Honoky, Jack V alley, Charles O ' Rourke, Bill Baird, William Davis, Alfred Fabian, Bob Munro . Tommy Pearson, and Mike Rado. This team played a total of 12 games, of which they won 11 and lost 1; they were champions of the Freshman Conference.

The team this year was made up mostly of young inexperienced players. Hopes ere running high for next year ' s team, since only five of the boys were Scniors--Jamcs Smith, Walter Smith, Joe Honkoski , Tony Bobrowski, and Hike Kovalow. Other boys on the team were: James Martin. Floyd Courtney, Roy Court- ney, Mitchell Moroco, Ted Puchowski, James Kinsey, George Bowman , and Russell Millburn.

The state organization has grown until it has a membership of more than t vo-hundred chapters . Mrs . C. E. Sandefur, of North Vernon, has been the State Dean for a number of years. Our State Society has now five districts, each having as its Dean one of the sponsors of the district. Edison ' s chapter was installed in October 1934 by Miss Eshelman, who has served continuously as its sponsor. Each year since Sunshine was brough into our school, there has been a one-hundred per cent membership. This year was no exception, with one hundred twelve girls as members, each of whom has reaped some benefit from Sunshine. The chapter was led this year by the following: presi- dent--Georgiana Hott, vice-prcsident--Bonita Reich, secretary-- Marian Thorne, treasurer--Hclen Schulze, program chairman-- Sara Goetze, cheer chairman--Connie Karras. To begin a very busy year, the girls sponsored a roller skating party at Chesterton. In addition to the bumps and bruises, the girls netted a nice sum for their treasury. On October 18, a number of representatives from Edison went to Winamac for the Convention of District V for which District Miss Eshelman serves as Loan. Everyone reported, A swell time ! Again, Christmas proved to be an event for all Sunshiners ! After the enthusiasm of all students for the decorations of the previous year, the girls worked unusually hard to equal or surpas s those decorations throughout the interior of the build- ing. The exterior decorating, done by the shop class, the art class, Mr. Nelson, and Mrs. Brock, added the truly festive note for all. The high-school age girls at the Lake County Tuberculosis Sanatorium were remembered by the Edison girls. Eoth groups received much joy in this sharing. Fifty-two boxes of home-made candy, cookies, and fruit cakes were prepared by the girls for former Edison boys who were in service December 1. The entire school shared in this by helping with the expense. For the Christmas convocation, the girls presented the one-act play, Catching Up with Christmas. The characters in the play were Georgians Hott, Donna Mansfield, Lorothy Bender, Norma Schleff, Shirley Hcibert, Lucille Lee, Marguerite Eberhardt, Mildred Hartsburg, and Eetty Lou Jacobs. At this â convocation, the Gideons gave to the school a Bible for each classroom. During the entire year the girls sold candy and ice cream. The money from this and from the skating party mentioned before has supported our entire program. The Society was proud, as only American citizens can be, to purchase a twenty-five dollar Dofenso Bond. On April 11, a number of Sunshine girls attended the Lake County Girls 1 Conference at Whiting. Various groups reported just what their girls ' organizations were doing, and all of the girls received a great number of helps for their high-school careers . Riding in a bus to Battle Ground, the forty Edison ropreson tatives really enjoyed the trip to tho State convention, one of the finest ever held. This was the first time our repre-senta tives have traveled by way of bus to a convention. The initiation service for now girls was held on the morn- ing of April 28. This proved to be a very impressive service to both old and new members . The Annual Mother -Alumnae Reception was held Friday evening May 15. A program of entertainment, installation of next year ' s officers, and a social hour filled the evening. Friday morning,. May 22 . found the girls out early for their annual beach breakfast. The meetings v crc held the fourth Tuesday of the month, and many different programs wore enjoyed. At the first meeting, the girls who attended Camp related their experiences. Dr. Eades gave a talk at the October meeting. A speaker from the Indiana State Employment Agency spoke on Girls Vocations. Other programs were : a musical program; a talk by Miss Richman, of Merrillville, on Hos tcling ; a talk by Rev. Netting; an in- sight into the life and customs of the Philippines by Mrs. Mather. The general theme followed was , The Open Door Loads-- Sunshine Camp will again find two enthusiastic Edison girls as a part of this all-state project. aaPPC . fis SUNSHINE SOCIETY FIRST ROW.

GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Girls Athletic Association has provided opportunity for participation in athletics to the many girls who enjoy them since 1939. Edison be- came a member of the Indiana State League of Girls Athletic Association in this year under the spon- sorship of Miss Viola Englehardt. Since its induction, the G.A.A. has been an active member, participated in the annual State Play Lays, and looked forward to the monthly publi- cation: Sportingly Yours , of the State League. Membership is open to all girls who can earn sufficient points by regular participation in sports and who can successfully survive ( !) the Initiation period of one week. This year ' s activities were widely varied, and afforded much enjoyment for the 47 members. Rank- ing as the favorites were basketball, dancing, and bowling, with increasing interest in tumbling. On Saturday, May 9th, the underclassmen bade farewell to the graduating seniors at an outdoor hobo party. Also, at this affair, recognition and appreciation were voiced for the leadership of the 1941-42 officers and chairmen: President Betty Wilde rmuth Vice-President Esther Harmon Secretary Geraldine Spears Treasurer Lorothy Bender Reporter Helon Dorochoff Sponsor Miss Nabhar.

It has been more active and more successful, and has achieved a higher standard of musicianship than in any of the three previous years . This year the band gave three full-length concerts. In addition to the fall and spring concerts, one was given during the Christmas season. It is hoped that this, too, will become an annual presentation. The band had a great outing when it chartered a bus to go to Manchester College last fall for a football game, a marching contest, and participation In the massed band. Twenty-three members entered the district solo and ensemble contests. A number won second division, and one soloist and the clarinet quartet won first division. These latter winners went on to the state solo and ensemble contest with these results: Warren Prince--second, Clifford Jeff eris--f irst , and the clarinet quartet composed of Wfarren Prince, Clifford Jefferis, Alverissa Faupel, and Robert Barry--f irst . There was no national contest this year because of the war. The band has worked quite diligently this year to help support themselves financially. Their most profitable project was the sale of City Directories for the East Gary Merchants Association. A net profit of approximately sixty-five dollars was realized. Some of this was used to help purchase sweater awards for the six Seniors. The Edison Band won first division in the District Contest, and placed in second division in the State Contest. To band members were awarded one Hundred seventeen medals, eleven letters, and six senior sweaters.

It has a voluntary membership of fifty-five students from the commercial department. In December members of the club and the Commercial Law Class had the opportunity of taking two trips into Gary to hear a jury trial and the preliminaries to a trial. Plans which were made for other tours had to be postponed indefi- nitely, as tours cannot be taken through defense industries until after the war. Meetings were held monthly. Mr. Fadell from the Indiana State Employment Bureau in Gary spoke on the subject of Job Opportunities and How to Secure a Jobâ at the February meet- ing, and Mr. Smith from Gary Business College discussed the subject of Job Opportunities in Gary in April. A moving picture entitlod A New Voice for Mr. X and a Mirror Phone Demonstration were given by the Bell Telephone Company in May. A party was given each semester, and the committees were as follows: entertainment committee for the first party â Lucinda Benedict, Virginia Tanner, Virginia Foster, and Juliene Baumcister, and the refreshment committee â Clara Izyn- ski, Billie Daylo Kimbrell, Dorothy Bender, and Jane Lindberg; entertainment committee for the second party--Esther Harmon, Donna Mansfield, Jack Worrell, and Jim Martin, and the refresh- ment commlttee--Dorothy Bender, Connie Karras, Beatrice Thoo- sen, and Bonita Reich. On April 16, the club presented a business play entitled Wanted at convocation. Members of the cast were: Andy Garber, Georgiana Hott, Jean Kimmoll, Jane Lindberg, Jim Mar- tin, and Jack Worrell.

Instead of the usual mystery play they gave a play in which the characters got into some of the com- plications they are very likely to get into in real life. Donât Take my Penny had a very interesting plot. Penny felt sure that she was to be the unknown, chosen by Hollywood to play the part of Dimity West in the dramatization of that stupendously successful novel, Stars in Her Hair. Penny didnât know that the girl really slated to be chosen for the part was Sally, the new maid, planted in their homo just as a publicity stunt. Penny practiced her elocution with pebbles in her mouth and balanced a book on her head to acquire cor- rect posture, and was hoity-toity to her boy friend, Kerry. But Kerry and Gram had an idea. He disguised himself as the author of the novel and proceeded to find Penny, was to make life so miserable for her that she would never want to go to Hollywood, This he did--along with many com- plications . He Kerry, disguised as Harrison Day, came to tea just as Penny was buying some new clothes. He embarrassed her in front of Monsieur Henri, and she was about to give up in disgust. When the disguise was discovered, she was really provoked with Kerry. Finally the real author appcarcd--to discover Sally, who by this time had fallen in love with Pennyâs brother, Mark, and wanted to run a chicken farm with him instead of starring in Hollywood. Harrison Day, unknown to all but Gram, had picked Penny ' s sister. Mavis, who had already had radio ex- perience. Penny, who all the time thought it was she, told Day she was giving it up for Kerry and v as leaving it for Mavis . The characters were as follows: Sally, a maid with a purpose Jean Kimmel Norman Porter, a publicity man Edward Pavlecich Penny, a pretty little miss Virginia Foster Kerry, her resourceful boy-friend -Mike Kovalow Caleb, her absorbed father ---Ben Owen Mark, her farm-minded brother ---Bob McDaniel Joanna, her loyal girl-friond Betty L.

The play was a three-act farce, and toolc place in the living room of Mrs. Spanglerâs board- ing house near Brookfield College just the day before Com- mon cer.iont. Howard Brant typed frantically to get his term paper on zoology in on timo but, because of continuous interruptions ho was fifteen minutes late. Ed Burns, a chemistry student, was perfecting a substitute for dynamite. Vic Lewis, a would- be artist, mistook Mr. Purcell, a wealthy Philadelphia manu- facturer who was going to endow a new science building for Brookfield College, for a model ho was expecting. Because of tho manhandling Mr. Purcell received at tho hands of the boys he refused to endow the science building. To straighten out matters, Mr. Purcellâs daughter Anne, decided to protend sudden illness. With the help of Vic and his girl friend, Vivian George, 3ho prepared a statement for Mr. Purcell to sign. He was about to refuse when Mrs. Purcell arrived and made him sign. To climax the happenings, Howardâs Aunt Maude persuaded Professor Bean to givo Howard his grade, President Dixon got his science building, and Lou Herron persuaded Ed to take her to the Commencement Ball. Aunt Maude and Professor Bean wero planning a honoymoon abroad, and accompanying them on the trip wo re to be Anne and Howard who also planned to be mar- ried immediately after Commencement.

An attitude of forgotton worldly cares was quickly assumed by the students and their honored guests, as they enhanced tho beauty of tho Pavilion with their colorful formal attire. Light spring zophyr3 caught up the en- chanted spell and tossed tho echoes of laughter into the pines which were holding their stately vigil. The expectancy of a greater next year was displayed upon the countenances of all theso youth. THE LIBRARY At the beginning of the school year 1940-41, the library became an integral part of the school system. During that year the Gary Public Library Branch combined with the school library and opened a new home in the gymnasium of Central Building. This was a new set-up for the East Gary Schools, and many of the Edison students failed to realize the many opportunities anb possibilities available. Looking backward, as the second year of this combination draws to a close, a decided gain can be noted in the use of Books and library facilities. Students are discovering that the library is a most vital part of the school in making available to them, material not contained in textbooks. Students hove access to more than twenty-four different magazines and approximately four thousand books, covering various academic and extra-curricular subjects, biography, statistics, and fiction. The peak of circulation was reached in March, when total school circulation reached 1235, with weekly high of 303, and daily high of 86. One objective of a school library is to render to the school and to the community the greatest service possible. As the crystal ball is gazed into for future possibilities, it seems to reveal for each succeeding year still greater gains in the use of the library and the library equipment. The school takes this opportunity to express its appreciation to Marian Thorne, Susie Jacob, Wanda Walczak, Ella Ann Zellers, Virginia Tanner, and Wanda Bakalski, who have given cheerfully of their time and energy to serve as volunteer library assistants . . fcfl 3 c: % t nlji i oi frldai ⢠jaMivn at I oodft j iriJ to i aq rrm i b 3c u cl ' i 5 tv ; n| . voo i 1 . ⢠J j id ! i : :U OJ â iV rfi ŠJ ⢠1.4 2 m. ' T I Oi ' Oi  l3  T Jfi iJi ART At the close of last school year the art class, which had been taught by Mrs . Lewellyn, presented to Edison High a large mural to be hung in the study hall. This is most inter- esting to study, and is constantly bringing now thoughts to one who does study it. ⢠The boy and the girl have traveled the path through the elementary school on to Edison High School. In taking this step up into secondary school, they find many opportuni ties awaiting them there. Attempts are made to give them a complete and well-rounded experience during the four years ' stay at Edison. Presiding over the school and guiding each and all of us arc Hr. Bailey and Mr. Stroubo. We find a variety of curricular offerings shown by the numerous books and pieces of equipment near the bottom of this mural--or might we say os the base of our high- school experiences. Such courses as algebra, geometry, shop, art, English, history, biology, shorthand, physics, cooking, and others arc represented. As we continue to study this mural, wo find many of our extra-curricular activities portrayed. The Sunshino emblem is on the door, the girls arc in the midst of a bowling game, the chorus is singing enthusiastically, wrestlers, track men, basket ball players, and baseball players arc entering vigorously into the game, the cheering section supports wholeheartedly tho athletes, the band marches on, and dancing, volleyball, and drama. tics furnish further activity and enjoyment. After the youth have completed their stay in Edison, they walk down the steps on the side opposite to the place of entry, and go on out into the busy world of industry and professions. The art class this year., under the guidance of Mrs. Brock, has been most generous in helping all departments in school with orojccts requiring skill in art. Especially docs the Edisonian staff appreciate the aid these potential artists have so willingly given. AWARDS Students who achieve honor in various phases of high-school work and activity receive awards for their accomplishments.

This is the second year for the paper being called ââEagle Feathers, as it was changed last school year from Spot Lightâ to the present name. This year the paper has been published by a group of students who have volunteered their services for the entire year as an extra-curricular activity. These students have spent many hours outside of their regular classes to make the paper a success. The paper was mimeographed and distri buted to all students in the high school every two weeks. A new feature this year was the Christmas edition with a green cover, on which wa3 an attractive Christmas design. The news was printed in green ink with red colored pictures and holly designs. Also, the New Yearâs issue was printed with colored ink. The staff greatly appreciated the cooperation of East Gary merchants, who have supported the paper with their ads THE STAFF Editor Assistant Editor Business Editor- Sports Editor G. A. A.
