EAGLE FEATHERS Every two weeks an issue of our school paper, Eagle Feathers, was published by the staff. Sometimes we did not think we would meet our deadline, but through hard work of the staff and help from our sponsor, Miss Hart- ley, and our English critics — Mrs. Crisman, Mrs. Chapman, and Mr. Owen — we were able to print a paper that we hope all liked and appreciated. The paper was comprised primarily of news articles about school, class, organization, sports, and sometimes outside activities. It also con- tained spiritual, moral, and educational edi- torials for the purpose of improving our school and helping the students to gain knowledge of importance. The 1954 Edisonian 17

EDISONIAN STAFF The Edisonian staff with the able assistance of Miss Hartley and Mr. Coner published again the yearly Edisonian. The 1954 edition was based on realism and was produced under the guidance of the staff’s motto: “It’s time for a change” throughout the year. Much hard work has been put forth in the securing of ads, the subscription campaign, and the publishing in general. The goal of the staff was to publish a book that would please every one and hurt no one’s feelings as well as the best annual to be printed in Edison High School. The members of the staff have worked hard to achieve their goal. We wish to thank the faculty, the adminis- tration, the students, our advertisers, our spon- sor, our photographer, and anyone who has helped to make our book a success. 16 The 1954 Edisonian

STUDENT COUNCIL Our Student Council is different from other organizations of the school since it is a student government organization and its purpose is to recommend to the administration improvements in the functioning of the daily school program, regulations, and activities. Each organization and class including the eighth grade was repre- sented on the Council. Officers and Sponsor Mr. Owen, sponsor; Warren Ellis, vice-president; Ann Marie Halaschak, secretary-treasurer; James Meister, president. Once again, the most important social event sponsored by the Council during the school year was the annual Homecoming Dance, which was held after the Portage football game on October 16. Betty Jakich was crowned as I Iomecoming Queen by James Meister, student council president. During the Christmas season of the year, the Council decorated the halls with colorful lights and angel hair. The beautiful Christmas dec- orations added a bit of cheer and seemed to manifest a real Christmas spirit among the student body and faculty. 18 The 1954 Edisonian
