JUNIORS The juniors began their first year as upper classmen with their new sponsors, Mrs. Cris- man, Mrs. Pruitt, Mr. Szabo, and Mr. Benja- min Owen by electing class officers. Donna Berg and James Meister were elected as repre- sentatives of the class on the Student Council. Choosing class rings was of great importance, and the juniors awaited eagerly for the arrival of the rings, which was their real insignia of apparel for upper classmen. The junior girls proved to be loyal Edi- sonites as they cooperated with the senior class by participating in a “Powder Puff” football game. The game was the first football game played by girls in the history of Edison. The junior girls won the game 25-0 over the senior girls, but the senior class won the gate receipts for the senior trip. An activity to increase the funds in the junior class treasury was the sale of Edison sweat shirts. The big event in the lives of the juniors came on April 24, when they gave the annual Junior- Senior Prom in honor of the seniors at Mar- quette Park Pavilion. Juniors and seniors with their guests danced to the music of Fred Robert’s orchestra. Their first venture into the realm of theatrical business was the presenting of their class play on May 8. The play was a rousing hillbilly comedy entitled “Cornin’ Round the Moun- tain,” which proved to be quite a success under the direction of Mrs. Crisman. Also, the play climaxed the end of the year’s activities as juniors. 20 The 1953 Edisonian
