lllaqe Eamers Gel Glimpse lll lllorllmq Game Called lute In years past, Edison's working students have been overlooked and underrated as an important part of the student body. Many students Worked after school or with the aide of a privilege pass. They held such jobs as typists, salesmen, waitresses, service station attendants and clerks. Teenagers have always filled these positions, but this year many Edisonites found themselves competing vehe- mently to obtain or to keep their jobs. Why this sudden struggle for job positions? All other high schools in Tulsa closed their doors at 2:45, while Edison students watched the clock for another hour. This extra hour created a severe handicap to the job seekers. Many students found them- selves involved with unique work situations in spite of the mounting competition. You could come into contact with an Edison student several times daily as they would sell you clothes, carry your lug- gage, keep your dog and care for your sisters and brothers all in a day's work. So, the wage-earning stu- dents discovered this year that being introduced into the busi- ness world gave them a glimpse of what was ahead. Plus, the experiences they had provided some pointers on how to become successful and productive at the working game called life. 1 1.

Stu- dents were seen getting into the Christmas spirit as the con- cert chorus perfomied at various clubs around town, the orchestra and concert band held their annual winter con- cert, the hustling of students shopping and the senior board Entering Edisnn turned into a group of off-key carolers that serenaded many a student to bring smirks and smiles of embarassment from the listeners. With cold weather under foot, some students packed up to move to even colder climates as they mounted their skis to slide down the slopes of Colorado on the Campus Life ski trip. For some Edison students, they spent the major- ity of their time ice skating, practicing for the annual Ice Travaganza. Winter Condids Q I5
