The Bridge Staff The primary purpose of this book is to serve as a historyg a story of the year, vital to each undergraduate as a reminder in later years, of true, lasting friendships formed, and various activities in which he participated while on the Edgewood campus. Time, besides being the healer of all things, is a curtain drawn upon the stage of Memory. It has been our purpose to prevent that curtain of Time from obscuring wholly the scenes which we, as students, have acted. With full realization that the task involved is in no sense light, we present for your approval the 1948 BRIDGE.

DRAMA Great Heavens! What was that blood-chilling shriek that split the air?-That? -oh, that was Wilma Schwarz, she's being strangled. And hark, those wild splashes, gasps and scufflings? John Pampel, at death-grips with a river monster. Behind him slinks Bob Lipman, his wicked, curved blade poised to strike. Bandit Bob he is now, you know. And what is that bowed figure crawling under benches and wailing, my stick, my stick. ? Crash ! The seven branched candlestick reels to the floor. Poor Jack Sargent! How he has aged! See he has a long white beard. Put an arrow in him! yells Wally Vail, scuttling upon the scene with Bob Irvine, a coal-black rullian, at his heels, bow poised. But don't you realize he must be a millioniare by now , storms jane Iserman, cramming all the paper she can find into a bonfire in the middle of the living room stairs. All my life I have been different sobs Marcia Hubert, and falls in a swoon at the feet of jim Van Dyk who withdraws his left foot from her mouth. At that moment Barbara Bronston attempts to break her mandolin over Wilma's head, but is prevented as a ball hurled by Dot Flink grazes her ears. Help! Help! Call the State Troopers! Call the Fire Department, call the F.B.I., Red Revolution has broken out at Edgewood. But wait! A voice, as of an enraged sea-lion: All right, take it from 'he was a half-wit'-and for Pete's sake pick up those cues quickly! Of course this is Mrs. Gutherz coaching the junior class in a typical rehearsal of the play Tobias and the Angel , presented on May 27 and 28. Ah! Not revolu- tion, but drama has struck Edgewood.

General Organization The General Organization, better known around the campus as the G. O., is the one link between the student body and the faculty at Edgewood. An instrument of representative student-faculty government, it is made up of representatives of the faculty, the classes Q from eighth grade through seniorl, the dormitories, and the chairmen of the four main committees. These four committees are, the Social Hour Committee, which plans dances and other social eventsg the Assembly Committee, the Library Committee, and the school newspaper, the Edgewood Echo. As all these committees are under the direct supervision of the G. O. we see that the G. O. is the core of student life at Edgewood. The president is elected at the end of the school year, for the following year by the student body. The treasurer is appointed by the retiring G. O. to serve the following year, and the secretary is a member of the G. O. elected by 'it at its first meeting of the year. At weekly meetings the students have an opportunity to express their grievances and intelligently discuss the various problems of the school. Many projects are undertaken each year, the biggest of which is May Day, an all clay carnival which gives teachers, parents, and students a chance to meet and have fun together. The money raised on this occasion is added to the G. O. treasury for use in future years. We would like to wish next year's president the very best of luck and hope that he or she will receive the same hne cooperation exhibited this year. Bark Roux' I. Van Dyk, Mfr. Gulberz, E.
