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

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

BOOSTER CLUB The 1954 Edisonian Much credit should be given to the members of the Booster Club for the school spirit they spread throughout the football and basketball seasons for the third consecutive year. Bus transportation was arranged by the club to away-from-home games. A dance, the proceeds of which was used for cheerleader uniforms, was sponsored after the game with Morton High School of Hammond on October 30. A second dance was given after the Hobart game on January 22 — the proceeds being used to pay for part of the bus transpor- tation to away-from-home games. Officers anti Sponsors Mr. Bromberg, sponsor; Marcia Klempa, treasurer; Kathryne Pappas, secretary; Kathleen Blagg, vice-presi- dent; Claudette Cruikshank, president; Mr. Owen, sponsor.
