Dedication Every school reflects its community. The school becomes what the community wills it to be. In Edina-Morningside the will of the people has been expressed through the School Board, through the work of the PTA's, the Citizens' Committee, and the League of Women Voters. The will of the people has been demonstrated by bond issues and budgets to provide an adequate and pleasant school plant, good equipment and supplies, and attractive teachers' salaries. But the people of our community have always sought beyond the required, beyond the minimum in the law. They have wanted a school that would offer the best possible education, a school that would serve enlightenment; for only such a place encourages the development of the minds of future builders, future defenders, future challengers. To the community — To the parents who have encouraged these goals — To the people who have supported these goals — To the citizens who have helped us realize these goals — To you, Edina-Morningside, the 1961 Whigrean is dedicated. The advantages of the Village of Edina are readily apparent — the pleasant surroundings, such as the picturesque Minnehaha Creek, a stable and well-run government, handy shopping facilities, diverse religious and social activities, and an ever-present consideration of the future. 6

Here, duck families and ice skaters may be seen. i i I The modernistic Village Hall is the center of Edina's village government — a symbol of leadership and protection to the people of the community. Here the policemen, firemen, park board, and village officers perform their functions with friendliness and courtesy. roMi a a'c} HAt I A sign of a growing and flourishing community is the availability and diversity of churches.
