DISON UGH SCHOOL GARY, INDIAN % 1945 WHAT CAN YOU DO? Ag you seniors leave the sheltered, formal school life to go into a less considerate, and in so many ways, harder life, you will be asked often by prospective employers, “Just what can you do, anyway? So much of your future depends upon your answer to this question--your ability. You have completed four years of high schodl. A few have taken a college preparatory course; a few have completed special courses which heve helped to give them immediate preparation for work; and a few have taken only a general course. General education is one of the major aims of high school treining,but in the keer competition of the postwar period most people will find that it will take mores than just s general education to obtain and hold a job. Most graduates will find a need for further specielized treining. Your gemeral education obtained at Edison should be an excellent foundation for any type of further training. Much of your future success in life will depend on your ability and willing- ness to continue your education. C. E, Swingley our Motto: Do unto others as your would have others do unto you LAKE COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY

President Louise Bowen - Treasurer STUVENT COUNCIL Just as no country can essume the responsibilities of a Democratic form of government until its people are ready for it, so must the students of a school show their maturity before they can have Student Government. Following s meeting, of the Lake County Secondary Schools Principals Asso- ciations, at which student council representatives of various schools were guests, our school was ins pired to undertake the organizetion of a Student Souncil. Temporary representatives of groups ana classes met to draft and write the constitution. It was decided that the president of each club and of each class would sutomaticelly be a member of the Student Council and that one other representative would be elected. iirs. Saxton was chosen sponsor. hiany interesting activities are being planned for next year. Some of the major suggestions were: (1) To improve the appearence of the trophy case, (2) To establish a flower fund for students, and (3) To make @ handbook. These can be considered by-products of the work of the Student Council, as its purpose as stated in the Preamble is to provide for student participation in school government, establish better understanding between faculty and students, afford a’ higher training in citizenship, and insure a4 sincere respect for law and order. On April 18, our school was represented by President Richard Peters and Vice-President Danny Castaldi at a Lake County Conference held at Hammond High School. The guest representative at the first meeting was Rosemary Erickson.
