Edisonian 1967 Thomas Edison High Qchool East Gary, Indiana LAKE COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY ... In sincere dedication to the memory of Carl J. Polk, who served six consecutive years as a member of the school board before his untimely death on December 28, 1966. 3 3113 03113 6460 Foreword Since last August, when the doors of Edison opened for a new school year, much of what we then anticipated has come to pass, bringing along with it the delight and dismay of the unexpected. Our 1966-1967 school year will be re- membered as one of vitality and innovation . . . of a faculty and an administra- tion guiding and counseling a spirited student body; of the ecstatic excitement of athletic competition; of extra-curricular opportunities; and of experiences acquired from participation in school -sponsored activities . . . all embodied in an enthusiastic school spirit. 2 Editor Contents . . . . 3 % A school is just another fact to be considered and forgotten unless there is something lasting in its nature to give it meaning. That “something is better known as “school spirit.” This is the theme we have attempted to capture and carry out as 4 the Edisonian Staff presents the people who made Edison Senior High come to life with The Spirit of ’G7!

With it will be new responsibilities, new interests, new opportunities and new friends. « In whatever you endeavor, may you remember the thoughts the poet has so beautifully expressed in these few lines. With them go my best wishes for success to each member of the Class of ’67. “If the goal is worth possessing, it is worth the price in pain; If you have a dream worth holding, it’s worth struggling to attain; For the joys that last the longest, as the distant bends are turned. Are not the easy splendors, but the joys which you have earned.” “If you’d reach the mountain’s summit, you must have the will to climb; If you’d rise to fame and glory, you must work and bide your time; For the victory that’s sweetest when life’s full returns are in Is the one that tried your patience and took all your strength to win.” , . . a man of dedication Mr. Roos . . . marion McKinney Secretary, Bookkeeper ELEANOR VANDERLIN Clerk, Secretary STEVE GEORGAKIS Assistant Principal DON DELLER BONNIE GLEASON Dean of Boys Dean of Girls I I Above: MRS.

The Senior Class expresses our fondest remembrances of our classmate, Billy Allen, whose life was so tragically ended July 15, 1966. To paraphrase Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, we feel now as we did then, that “a feather has truly been wafted downward from an Eagle in his flight.” 45 48 y Junior Class Officers CRAIG SPIERING - Judge FRED HOLT — Student Council Representative KAY POLK - Student Council Representative RUTH SCHMELZER - President PAT MOSIER — Vice President JENNIFER BLYSTONE - Secretary WENDY LEE — Treasurer Class of ' 68 Linda Adamik Vicki Aills Kensey Alsman Barbara Allen Rita Alvarado Alexander Anderson Terry Anderson Vickey Anderson Mike Argyelan Elijah Armes Graham Baker Rodney Ball Cathey Barajas Leonard Bledsoe Jennifer Blystone Jim Bona Dave Borisenko Deanna Borisenko Allen Bowen Dennis Breckner Bob brown Terry Brown Barry Bryant Christine Christakas Larry Click Mary Climer Mary Cochran Jim Cotten Carolyn Czilli Sam D’Aliosio Kerry Dalzatto Karon Davis Kathy Davis Tom Deemer Jim Demetriou Gloria Derado Shairy Dillard Georgia Dumis Pat Dwyer Tom Ellis Millie Emswiller Grace Gaddis 49 Class of 68 Merry-Jeanne Galovic Judy Gaza Kenny George Howard Glovier Bob Goodpaster Sharon Gossett Elaine Groves Joe Haas Walt Handley Linda Hanson Danny Harty Diana Havens Gary Heims Wendy Hodges Linda Hoeflicker Fred Holt Pam Hornyak Charlynn Holt Karren Huber Lena Humphrey Jon Hursey Pat Hursey Sandy Inzerillo Paulette Jacob , Bill Jenkins Ed Johnson Dan Kado Harold Kingery Larry ' Kludt Joe Kobylinski Marlene Koenig Nancy Korpak Janet Lewis Wendy Lee Ellen Long Ike Long Bob Lundy Jeff Mades Maria Malobovic Eugene Marah Linda Marlatt Bob Martin Class of 68 Anita Mascher Steve Mast Lynn Mattingly Linda McLoughlin Greg Meeks Bob Milam Carley Miller John Mitchell Liz Mize Barbara Moore Donna Morrill Pat Mosier Cindy Mulchahey Ron Nicholson Dave Niloff Myra Novakovich Angie Novkovic Debbie Odar Tom Olson Tim Olson Connie Owens Jackie Patton Linda Paulk Peggy Paxton Kay Polk Bill Price Demetria Psagrelli Carol Puskac Laura Rast Clarence Rodney Reames Pam Remaley Brenda Resczenko Brenda Riley Irene Rogala Dale Rosendaul Rich Rubino Judy Ryan Richard Safstrom Glenn Sanders Ruth Schmelzer Roxie Shadrix ‘ im ¥ 1.1 51 Class of ' 68 Bruce Shimel Shirley Shinier Brad Shotts Dave Silverthorn Dwight Smith Pat Smith Sharon Sodomka Pete Sotak Lillian Spencer Craig Spiering Harriet Springman Linda Springman Betsy Steele Becky Steele Linda Strine Sue Swallow Bill Szwajkowski Roger Todd Margaret Todosijevich Don Uhls Dennis Viar Sophia Vujakovic Margaret Wahl man Caryon Wedding Priscilla Wedge Alice Williams Buster Winegar Elaine Winkles Dan Wotysiak Jim Wotysiak Jerry Woodard Gary Zerza Joe Zinkovich NOT PICTURED: Mike Bernier, Edwin Borman, Douglass Brittin, Michael Buchanan, Michael Cromwell, Jeffrey Gadzala, Ron Kasperek, Betty Oleska, Charles Owen, John Tharp, Carlos Yanez. 52 Sophomore Class Officers GARRET BELT - Judge DENISE ANTON - Student Council Representative DAN DeHAVEN - Student Council Representative PAT PIERCE - Treasurer ROBERTA THORNE - Secretary PAT WITKA — President CHUCK SCHEUER - Vice President 54 Class of ' 69 Lloyd Alsman Rhita Amiotte Denise Anton Darlene Ard Chester Arington Alan Bacon Lynn Ballard Frances Bannister Ray Barbknecht Don Barringer Richard Beattie Garrett Belt Joe Bianco Paulette Binko Jeffrey Blatz Nikki Blystone Christine Bobrowski Donald Borman Pam Breckman Dale Broadway Ronald Burks Sarah Cambe Bonnie Campbell Jesse Carlin Cynthia Carnegie Gail Carr John Carrigan Susie Carter Steve Chance Don Clasen Cathryn Clawson Glenn Cole Mike Comstock Sally Coppinger Laura Crader David Cretton Arleen Cromwell Darrell Cudney Karen Curtis Carol Dahlstrom Thomas Dailey Larry D’Aloisio 55 Class of ' 69 Ruth Davis Duane Davis Daniel DeHaven Diana Dignin Robin Dillard Timothy Dixon James Dover Thomas Dowell Diane Dranchak Sue DuShane David Early Michael Eddy r” u -J Ray Edmaiston Pat Farley Linda Fazekas Kathy Flannigan Robert Foster Terry Foster Robert Frencl Judy Furgerson Kathy Garzella Gloria Getrich Bruce Gibson Randy Goldsmith Diane Goodwin Don Grant Emily Gregory Adele Gutierrez Stephen Haddad Kay Hagan Maria Handley Dennis Haner Charlene Harker Carol Harmon Elizabeth Harmon Linda Harness Cathy Hartley Esther Havrilesko Bob Havrilla Diane Hereha Wayne Hill Jim Hoffman 56 Class of ' 69 Johnna Hornyak Julia Hunter Kevin Hursey Gary Ingram David Johnson Kenton Johnson Myrna Johnson Richard Kadish David Kado Derek Kent Larry Kolopanis Nina Korpak Tim Kosinski Karla Kunert Bob Kurpis Mike Lehoskey Alan Lerch Kay Lewis Tom Littlefield Karl Malobovic Mary Manns Arthur Martin Gary McDonald Mac Medow Frances Meister Julius Mendelsohn Danny Mercier Diane Mercier David Miller Delores Miller Terry Mischan Maureen Mosier Larry Mundy Janice Myers Nancy Myers Sue Napier Richard Neal Christine Nicoles Nancy Owens Terry Parkhurst Tom Paterson Kim Perez 57 Class of 69 M: ▼’ 7 7 .
