Playing her part in the history of Southside High School was CAROL LOU PEDALTY, a commercial student from Pennsylvania Avenue School. After twirling in her sophomore and junior years Carol became Drum Majorette as a senior. Listed among this lively blond's activities were: Freshman Council, Junior Class Historian, Junior Day, Junior Prom, and Junior and Senior Plays. Carol also found time to sing in Chorus, work in the Library, and to participate in Cheerleaders' and Ushers' Clubs activities.

This year's Edsonian Literary Editor, MARY SUE PITTMAN, a Parley Coburn graduate and academic student contributed much to this class. In the Junior Play she served as musical director and as a committee member. In 1956 Sue acted as class historian; in 1957 as class treasurer. This popular girl found her leisure time consumed with activities in Cheerleaders' Club, Junior Red Cross, Orchestra, Foot-lighters' and Ushers' Clubs. In 1958 she was inducted into the National Honor Society and chosen winner of the DAR award.

Southside welcomed ROSE PLATE, a commercial student from Pennsylvania Avenue in 1955. Leisure time found Rose working with the Student Council, participating in G.A.A, activities, and performing services for the Cheerleaders' and Ushers' Clubs. Learning to folk dance was a delightful experience for Rose. Any remaining time of Rose's was used in service on the Junior and Senior Play committees.

Parley Coburn graduate ALICE POTTER chose the homemaking course upon her arrival at SHS. This industrious girl participated in the activities of G.A.A., Ushers' Club, and Scribblers' Club. In her junior year, she served as secretary to the Scribblers' Club.
