T153 . ,V W Y 'X w as E1 ,tx x lm FORWARD AKING another step forward, Edmondson made a name for itself this year in sports, in scholarship, and in literary work. Winning our first football crown, the junior varsity title, was a glorious achievement. The performance of our band at half-time was as commendable as the magnificent teamwork of our victorious players. Our future journalists on the yearbook and news- paper staffs wrote their way to a first class rating in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Contest. Senior was said here for the first time as the 85 juniors of last year became Edmondson's first graduating class. They received their rings, the first at Edmondson, at the Ring Dance in Octo- ber. Our growing student body of 1700 saw outstanding assemblies, formed new clubs and attended several orchestra dances during the year. Scholarship is always foremost in our school life. The Honor Roll tablet installed in the main lobby gives recognition to students who have worked hard and achieved high marks, Wfith our motto, Excellence Demands Sacrifice, to guide us, we will continue to step up to greater heights.

Distilling, Dissecting, This year the importance of science was em- phasized more than ever as rockets, satellites, and baby planets were sent up by the United States and Russia. In keeping with the national trend to encourage more scientific achievements, Ed- mondson offered various science courses to its students-biology, physics, and chemistry. Biology students learned by observing the reproduction of hamsters, the development of chicks, and the structure of animal brains and kidneys. Both chemistry and physics students performed many experiments in our modern laboratories. Special equipment, such as analytical balances in chemis- try and plant and animal models in biology, aided the students in understanding these sub- jects. Our science teachers have an intense inter- est in stimulating independent thinking in their V, 3 students and in teaching them the whys and hows of their everyday life. Q4 ,R DISTILLATION OF WATER is engrossing to Dan Shaner, Delores Delaney, joan Mfindsor, Miriam Cayo, and Harold Napier. EECK, A MOUSE!
