OST LIKELY TO SUCCEED What is success? I guess for a person at Edge- wood High School success is measure by what future you have in life. Well for one senior, Sally Hicks, her fu- ture is the brightest and that is why she was voted Mostt Likely to Succeed ----- feither that or the fact she counted the votesj. Sal? worked hard com- pleting er education taking such hard courses aslntro- duction to Bookmaking and Elementary Safecrackin Sally plans to work for po - itical parties in the future. You can see how a person like m self could be a use- ful and, neccessary part in today's political society , says Sally. With her quick mind, hands and technologi- calskills, we are sure Sally will find her place in life maybe Levenworlh, Chino, or good old Folsom Prison. Jefflviaedais this year's winner of the most likely to succeed aw ard. Itis hard to say something about all of the things thatleff has going for him here at Edgewood. After all, who else at Edge- wood could make enough moneyby polishing bowling balls at the loca bowling alley to buy himself a car. Jeff was raised knowing that money is not every- thing---but lack of it is. He hasa joylous future ahead ofhim. W en we asked him what he wants to be he said that he is going to work in the stockmarket for was that the supermarketj. Jeff gave usafew tipson what to uy. First he said to invest in ele- vators because they are on the rise and not to invest in surgical needles because they have hit the bottom. FRIENDLIEST Linda Smith, known as one of the friendliest seniors at Edgewood, is never at a loss or words or a smile. Linda has one of the hap- piest dispostitions believed possible by anyone. Having been Secretary of Finance for two years, Linda also finds time for activities out- side ofschool. Scuba diving water skiing, and snow ski- ing are just a few of her many hobbies. Given a chance Linda will try any- thing at least once. Having graduated mid-term, Linda is presently working with her father and ta in a night school course at Edt. Sac. in accounting. One of Linda's lifetime wishes is to marry a rich old man and have lots of lovers. Dynamite Dwight Owens, or the Big D as some females refer to him, is one of the friendliest people at Edgewood High. Dwightis extremely friend- ly and gets around a lot, as numerous females have told me. Dwight can be seen everywhere making friends. He s in and out of every- thing, everywhere, always lea ng the friendless with a friend. Dwight is ex- tremely talented. 4gEvery- one knows of his brilliant track career and it won't be long before we see him iin the 976 Olympics. Dwight currently holds a national record in track, which he obtained in his younger years. BEST ALL AROUND What comes to your mind when someone says could it be that the person is so obese that they are round and noticeable. Or. is it that Cyou always see them aroun ?No, it's voted upon for the person who iS best at everything. This year's best all around is Gail Goldstein. To give you an example of what she does ln an average day we will follow her around. Morning starts early for Gail and she arrives on cam-- pus at 6 a. m. to set up the campus for another busy day of education. At 8 a. m. Gail goes to her first period Cauto mechanicsy at 9:05 brunch starts and Gail can usually be seen breaking up Fights. At 9:10 Gail goes to her second period Qornimentail horti- culture j. At 10:15 Gail 'oes to her third period Fclass in self defense and karatey. At 11:00 shebreaks for lunch and goes out in front of the school to speak on the hazards of smoking. Then she goes to her last class ofthe day QA. P. 56I1101' sexj. After that you can see Gailhelping Edgewood's iinatathletes out bycoaching them at their various sports. Now you can see why Gail Goldstein has been voted best all around. Tom Davies has' defi- nitely lgot to be considered best a 'around bodies at Edgewood. No, he isn't fat. For one thin , he's alle around becauseaiis muscular arms are lartgely round. This is mainly rom football--- Tom was varsity this year. However, a football 1S not round, unless of course you cut it in half. He ets his round brain probabgy from his classes, which include ICM, Tom is really a he- man with the girls. This also puts him in the cata- gory of all-around because om really knows his curves. Yes, in a round- about way Tom is our all- around.

Future plans in- clude makin and starrin in the story og her life witg an all star cast and Burt Reynolds as Mike Hernandez. After this is done she will retire and become a meek and mild housewife. How would you like a date with the most talented guyoncampus? Well, here e is, Mr. Everythin . Keith Wetzelis our jack -og- all-tradeson campus and to top it off, he is a perfec- tionist at everything he does. A few of his special- ties are art, drama, and swimming. He has won numerous awards for his art- work in both city and state contests--- colla es, oils, pastels, and just :Shout any- thing you can think of. As for Keith's acting ability, I'd say his perfor- mances speak for themselves He was the star in Blithe Spirit, and played a major role in the Black Comedy, MOST INTELLIGENT Being able to spot her 10 mi les by the candle in the window, you can see Linda Bosserman batting her beasy baby blues far into the night figuring out ways to become more intelligent. From all this effort Linda was chosen, if not in reality at least by looks, Most Intelligent. You can see Linda or the Blonde Bomb , dashing a nd other assorted thin s through the ASB on her daily d uti es as ASB President. Bossy Baby has received such honors as being the promi- nent editor of that campus classic, The Iliad and the only person who can be 10 feet above everyone else without using life-boy deo- dorant. We are sure Linda will re a c h a n INTELLI- GENT, SUCCESSFULLY HIGH LIFE, When they were handing out the brains Gor- don Hamachi 'went through the line twice. During his entire sentence at Ed e- wood he was one of the gew students who did not re- ceive a single F, D, or C for that matter. His senior year Gordon was able to pull off A s in Physics, Introduction to Col ege Math and Advanced Place- ment English. Yet Gordon still had time for some of his fun pastimes such as improving his chess game, translating War and Peace from the original Russian to Pig-Latin, and goving Einstein's Theor o Rel- 1t1V1 . As or 'e uture, Cordon plans to have his brain placed in alcohol and preserved in the Smith- sonian Institute. which were two of the most successful plays we've had all year. fOfcourse, the all ear. fOr' course, the fact Zlhat they w time theONLY two pla s t 's ear has nothing to do with thbeir suc- cess.J Keith has also par- ticipated in a few under- round flicks. However, we gre not allowed to disclose the names of these X-rated films in a fuvenile maga- zine. Keith is a regular Burt Reyno ld s when it comes to posing for nudies, and believes in the old say- in , If ou've otit, flaunt its Eyeryonegknows about Keith's body, but do they also knows a out his brains. Well, let metell you, Keith has brains aswell as bronze, which is proven by the fact that he's a four year veteran of CIF. BEST PARTY GIVER Edgewood's campus is known or its drunken brawl parties. At the top of the list of party givers, sitting on top of a ottle of Straw- berry Hill, isConnie Camp- bell. At one ofConnie's parties you can see such things as blood shot eyes, a mad rush towards the bath- room, laughing, stumbling, and passionate couples in dark corners. A Campbell party could be compared to an 'X rated movie. Not only does she have open parties but she plans little private parties by candle- light for her and Pat. After graduation Connie plans on going to Cal Poly, studying ehavioral science to be- come a psychologist. The thing Connie dis ikes most is phony people. Her acti- vities on carnpusinclude be - ing Secretary of Activities and she was a princess on the wrestling court. Lee Mascher, one who enjoys parties and some- times gives parties, was elected best party giver. When Lee has a party the house is loaded in more than one way with people. Along with the usual ice cream, punch, and cake, Lee's parties turn out pretty good. After graduation , because Lee has the great ability to' climb, he was consi ering becoming a mountainclimber or joining up with a circus, but due to his weakness in the knees, he just might end up at Cal Poly. When Lee isn't busy messinlg around and having a goo time, he enjoys going to school and spend- ing his time wisely.
