These arc the foundations of life at Edsel Ford High School classes, conducted by teachers who, like the arch- itects of the school, are the architects of education. Upon the firm foundations set by Edsel Ford’s instruc- tors rest all of the other factors of education. Students are here to learn, and learning in its most direct sense - in the classroom - offers a basis for the other areas of education - learning to take responsibility and earn re- wards in activities, and learning good sportsmanship and a feeling of school spirit and oneness in our sports. These areas of education need a foundation, and this foundation, as well as wisdom, understanding, and en- couragement, is what Edsel Ford’s teachers and classes extend to the students. Stressing an integrated curriculum, the faculty works together to give students a most unique and rewarding education, one that will prepare them.to take on future responsibilities and select their own ideals and values, while respecting those of others. At Edsel Ford High School, students are taught to have a greater knowledge of people everywhere, for it is only in this way that real understanding can ever be achieved. These, then, arc the foundations - foundations which have been set firmly and wisely for the students by the teachers at Edsel Ford High.
