JUNIOR CLASS At the close of the Christmas convocation, exciting cheers of glee burst forth from the juniors when they learned of the arrival of their class rings, which were their insignia of upper classmen. On March 16, the juniors sponsored a Skru- Kall Game, which was a new fad of playing basketball on crash cycles. The game started with the hard fighting junior boys battling the senior boys who were in the lead at the end of the third quarter 30-26 ; but the fourth quarter consisted of spills and thrills as sixteen junior girls made plenty of landings on the floor from the cycles. The evening ended with a huge success and the East Gary Fire Department playing the Eagles Lodge in the second game. Getting in line their quota of school dances, the juniors sponsored the annual Pre-Prom Dance in the gymnasium on May 1 1 . Finally the big event of the year arrived, the date was May 22, the place was the Mar- quette Park Pavilion, and the well-known title the Junior- Senior Prom. Bill Funkey and his orchestra furnished the music, the theme was Roses,” and the pavilion was decorated accordingly. Now, at last, the juniors were very happy and proud to have reached the highest possible class-ranking in high school — seniors ! The 1951 Edisonian 19
