Bacon, Mrs. Koch and Mr. Hector Southerland. Through the years the Echo has recorded athletic wins and losses, school elections, May Day, plays and graduation. The war years were reflected in its pages through foreign relief committee meetings, speeches by war correspondents at Edgewood and forum questions such as What do you do during blackouts? In its editorial pages the opinions of students on politics, world affairs and education appear. The effect of current affairs on Edgewood is shown in reports of a forum attended, or the outcome of a debate. The paper is written and printed by the students, with the help of Mr. Souther- land and Mrs. Gutherz. From the HIS! grade up, all who are willing and able to work, may contribute. Crossword puzzles and fun columns provide an outlet for humoristsg budding sports writers practise turning phrases at hockey, football, or baseball. Once a month editors go around moaning, 100 more words! I need 100 more words! , someone dashes to Finn's Linotype Service with the copy, just in time to meet the deadline. After this material is returned to us, the print shop is taken over by a little group of willfull men , who after struggles with impression and ink, emerge victorious to present The Edgewood Echo to the school.

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.

Social Committee Youll have to cut out some more valentines and we need some more crepe paper in this corner. You might very well have overheard this if you had interrupted the Social Committee while it was preparing the decorations for the St. Valentines Prom. This dance was only one of the many enjoyable evenings provided for Edge- woodians this year through the tireless efforts of the committee members. Other very popular events were informal dances, barn dances, and Splash parties at the Y pool. The Social Committee, the organization at Edgewood which plans and directs all social functions, is composed of a day student and a boarder from each class, and two faculty advisors. Weekly meetings are held at which a chairman, elected by the members, this year Muriel Spindell, presides. The students themselves hire the bands, arrange for the refreshments and do all the decorating. The committee has a lot of fun planning and running the dances, and the whole student body has a wonder- ful time as a result of their hard work. Standing Left to Right: G. Scala, R. Lipman, M.
