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.

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

A. “More active than preceding years” seemed to he the slogan of the (iirls Athletic Associa- tion this year. Throughout the year the girls participated in group sports such as basketball, volley ball, bowling, and swimming. By taking part in group sports, the girls earned points to earn a letter and a sweater in their senior year. Red sweaters with black letters were chosen by the seniors. An informal initiation of the new members was held in the gymnasium on September 30. The G.A.A. sponsored a dance after the Griffith basketball game on January 15. The senior girls played against the girls of the Bell Tele- phone operators in a basketball game on March 4. This was the first time that the girls of Edison played an outside opponent for many years, as Edison had had a girls’ basketball team in her early history before the G.A.A. was organized in 1939. The annual banquet was held at the Mar- shall House in Gary on April 28, at which time the awards were presented. G.A.A. Initiation Initiation Pictures — Courtesy of Bruce Bailey 20 The 1954 Edisonian
