It was their first day at Edison High School and the beginning of a new and somewhat thrilling experience. For their fresh- man leaders they elected four enthusiastic stu- dents : Dale Hodges, president ; Marty Faitak, vice-president ; Barbara Smith, secretary ; Sherry Niehaus, treasurer. Geraldine Demo and Bruce Swift served as Student Council representatives. Their first activity as fresh- men was a dance, which was held on December 2 ; but the big event of the year was held on January 27, the night of the Lollipop Dance, which turned out to be one of the biggest suc- cesses of the year. Naturally, they were quite proud since they were the originators of the new dance. As the year came to a close, they awaited anxiously their return in the fall. Being sophomores and having had one year of experience already, they were eager to enter I 0 R S more activities than before. Charles Krupchak was chosen as president, but he withdrew from school at the beginning of the second semester and was succeeded by the vice-president, Bar- bara Smith. Bruce Swift was secretary, and Gary Ganz was treasurer. Cynthia Morrison and Marty Faitak represented the sophomores in Student Council meetings. The first sopho- more dance, of course, was another Lollipop Dance on December 8. On March 30, the second dance was called a Hillbilly Hop, and the gym was decorated in hillbilly style. As the year ended, the sophomores were looking to- ward their junior year. As juniors, they wasted no time. Upon re- turning to school in the fall, class officers were elected : Cynthia Morrison, president ; Suzanne Anderson, vice-president; Lois Cotter, secre- tary ; Dolores Rearick, treasurer. Barbara Smith and Robert Vizena were chosen as Stu- dent Council representatives. The first im- Senior-Junior Girls’ Football Game Courtesy of Bruce Bailey The 1953 Edisonian 17
