Edsel Ford High School Handles Formal Dedication Ceremony In its first year of existence. Dearborn’s newest high school has already establish- ed a reputation as a beautiful building with a mosl unique, practical curriculum Edsel Ford High School owes much of this fame to Mr. Edsel B. Ford, after whom it was named. Mr. Ford was not only a great businessman but took active interesi in the cultural and educational activities of his community and country. The Ford Foundation, which he established, financed the two and one half year long study for the curriculum of Edsel Ford. The building, which combines beauty and ligh' with practicality, owes much of its design principles to a planning committee of stu- dents, teachers, and parents of Dearborn. During its first year Edsel Ford has also inspired a growing school spirit in its students and has had many new customs and traditions established. Highlights of this first year are reviewed here in the first issue of FLIGHT, whose name symbolizes the flight of the Thunderbird through the past year’s happenings. Edsel B.
