CLASS OF ' 53 During the ye fir, other fund-raising activi- ties included a Bake sale, paper drives, and the annual Pre-Prom Dance held on April 25. The juniors worked quite enthusiastically to have a balance in their class treasury to help .finance their trip which they plan to take the latter part of their senior year. Also they partially selected their yearbook staff which began making plans for their 1953 Edisonian. The highlight of the year for the Class of ’53 was the Junior-Senior Prom, which was given at Marquette Park Pavilion on the night of May 8. The prom, as in former years, was considered a wonderful success by all who attended. “Twilight Time” was the theme of the Prom, and the music was furnished by Mickey Islev and his orchestra. As the year drew to a close, having, thus, ended a successful year, the members of the Class of ’53 advanced to that long-awaited time — their senior year. Just as all senior classes plan, the Class of ’53 has already started making plans to be one of the best classes to graduate from Edison High School. The 1952 Edisonian 23

Class of ' 53 As shown in the class officers’ picture, the members of the Class of ’53 chose feminine leadership for their class during their junior year. What is known as the “weaker sex” proved to be the stronger in this case for getting the necessary work of the class done during a very busy year. Barbara Smith and Robert Vizena were chosen as Student Council representatives. Their first activity as upper classmen was their class play entitled “My Heart’s in High, ’ ’ which was presented very successfully on November 1 and was one of the best plays to be given in Edison High School. Their first dance was held on November 2 after the Merrillville football game. On De- cember 7, at eleven o’clock, the juniors re- ceived their precious class rings, and just being able to wear those rings the next week was the source of each junior’s pride.

Class of ' 54 Having successfully completed one year at Edison, the members of the Class of ’54 were anxious to start their second as sophomores. As they were the largest class in the school, they contributed many athletes and club mem- bers to Edison’s extra-curricular pattern. At their first meeting of the year they elected very capable officers in a businesslike way; and having learned during their fresh- man year the importance of the Student Coun- cil, they chose Joyce Minor and Arnold Stegall as their representatives on this governing body. As each class has the privilege of sponsoring school dances each year, the sophomores held their dance on March 21. After spending two happy years as Edison’s under classmen, the sophomores were ready to advance again and look forward to the year of class rings, proms, and plays — their junior year.
