Tile women who cook at Edsel Ford are Mrs. Ruth Burgess, Mrs. Mildred Bumick, Mrs. Eleanor Horvath, Mrs. Dolores Laurich, and Mrs. Ruth Millikin. Also on on the cafeteria staff are Mrs. Edith Moore, Mrs. Louella Smetana, Mrs. Frances Wagner, Mrs. Anna Wyn, and Mrs. Hilda Weiss. The manager must plan the work and the amount of food to be prepared, order provisions, keep the books, and help when needed in the lunch lines. These women prepare over three hundred plate lunches each school day. Another important group of employees at Edsel Ford are the custodians. Mr. A1 Snabes is the engineer and in charge of the other men. There are five other people working during the day: Mrs. Violet DeYoung, Mr. Vem Floyd, Mr. A1 Martinson, Mrs. Ann Nikola, and Mr. Carl Taylor. These are only a small portion of the staff.

“No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings. —William Blake It is the purpose of Edsel Ford High School to develop in young men and women two qualities, idealism and the ability to live up to ideals. The young men and women of the senior class have completed this process; for three years, they have been studying the facts and thoughts and philosophies which other men have discovered. From these, they are now able to institute their own stand- ards, values, and goals, to know what they consider important in life. For three years, these seniors have been taught —in language, mathematics, the sciences, the arts, the vocations—how to reason, communicate, and achieve. With this background, they are able to go on to accomplish the things which, to them, are important. When these seniors leave Edsel Ford High School, many of them will plan for ordinary, happy lives. However, some will have great dreams, perhaps idealistic ambitions of changing the world and bettering humanity. And, with the “wings” of self-reliance, understanding, and ability given to them in these three years of high school, no plan, no dream, no ideal will ever be out of their reach.
