FOREWORD .Q -,gp , E 'iii' X Tw -K i ' fl .iff Edison at work as a young man. The goal of The Torch staff this year has been to show a definite correlation of the inventions of Thomas A. Edison and the application of them by Edison High School. We have tried to distinguish the pertinent need for these inven- tions through careful pairings of inventions and section. As we progress through any day at Edison, we cannot help but encounter the fruits of his ambitions, fulfillments of his dreams. When Edison was perfecting the movie cam- era, could he possibly have foreseen the invaluable services this machine has rendered, not only as a great medium of entertainment, but also as a definite furtherance of educa- tion? Could he possibly have known that years after he had laboriously designed the megaphone, enthusiastic stu- dents would use this instrument to scream praises at a victorious athletic team? Although the students of Edison are, in reality, only an infinitesimal part of the over-all employment of his inven- tions, they are, nonetheless, a major section through their undying loyalty to Edison as to a man and to Edison as a school.

DRDICATIO Many teachers in Edison deserve the honor of having the Torch dedicated to them, but one of these holds a special place in our hearts. Our special thanks go to Miss Berna Dean Morrow for the many long, but fruitful, hours she gave Edison as the yearbook advisor in 1957, 1958, and 1959. Not only has she served in preserving the memory of events through her work with the Torch, but she has also guided the Classes of 1958 and 1961 in making some of Miss Morrow helped set many of the traditions our other graduating classes have followed. Now, as sponsor of the these memories. As the sponsor of our first graduating class, Class of 1961, she has become known as 'The Great Play Giver and is guiding her students to great accomplish- ments. Yet the thing we love about Miss Morrow is not that she has been so active in guiding groups of students, al- though this is important. It is the fact that she is never too busy to sit down and help a student who comes to her with a problem. She loves young people and has dedicated her life to helping them and showing them the way to a better adult life. It is with gratitude and thanks that we dedicate this 1960 edition of the Torch to a beloved teacher and advisor, Miss Berna Dean Morrow. 4 N. fi: l C . if 33331 Q sri A friend to everyone.
