SOPHOMORES The first thrill of the year for the sophomores was the crowning of the carnival queen. Phyllis Bunibera, a member of the sophomore class, was crowned queen by Lois Cotter, last year s queen, at the Central-Edison Parent-Teacher Association Carnival in Edison Gymnasium on November 7. Since the sophomore candidate was elected queen at the carnival, the class received an award of five dollars for its class treasury. Phyllis Bumbera crowned Carnival Queen by Lois Cot- ter, last year’s queen. After having initiated the students to a “Barn Dance” last year, the sophomores con- tinued to show their originality by inducting Edisonites to a “Hobo Prom” on March 13 this year. Candidates for queen at the “Hobo Prom’ were Kathleen Blagg, Barbara Schaefer, and Raedeane Hickman; and the candidates for king were George Garber, Robert Fiebel- korn, anti Fred Urbanek. Barbara Schaefer was chosen queen, and Fred Urbanek was chosen king for the evening. The sophomores took an active part in athletics and the various activities from the beginning to the end of the school year. Sally Summers and Charles Torrez repre- sented the sophomores on the Student Coun- cil throughout the year. Mrs. Etienne, Mr. Sanders, and Mr. Williams were class sponsors. 22 The 1953 Edisonian

FRESHMEN The freshmen proved to he a welcome addition to the school because they joined in the various school activities with boundless enthusiasm.

Mr. Kay, Miss Grabill, and Mr. Snedeker were the As freshmen enter Edison, they choose the program of one of the five four-year courses offered on the cur- riculum. class sponsors. As each class had the privilege of sponsor- ing one school dance during the year, the freshmen selected March 20 for their class dance. Since the time of the dance was the eve of March 21, the first day of spring “Spring Swing” was naturally an appropri- ate and a very fitting theme. The atmos- phere was filled with a real spirit of spring, which added to the “Spring Swing” deco- rations. The class completed the year with the honor of having been the largest freshman class enrolled in Edison High, as the mem- bership of the class consisted of 110 students at the beginning of the school year and re- mained as such throughout the entire year. 24 The 1953 Edisonian
