Thanks for the Memories We seniors pause to recall memories that made up our high school years. Remember when in seventh grade the mad rushing between classes created fun and mass confusion. Manners were acquired and many toes were mashed at the famed 62 Club. Our other talents were first exposed in Around the World in Eighty Days. Teachers many with voices mixed confused the best of us . . . now seventh grade passes into distant memories. Upon us like a silent lynx sprang eighth grade. Endless layers of petticoats crinkled under dresses. The setting sun was great atmosphere for our eighth grade parties. Boys groaned when the chemise and Elvis came in vogue . . . the year is soon over and quiet reigns again, leaving rich memories. The bells sounded sweeter for we were top brass at last. The streets echoed with the screeching of brakes as beginning drivers took to the road. Present football players took top rolls in Tom Sawyer, lens, iens, emptus, the knell of doom rang heavy as we were sold deep into slavery. Six peppy cheerleaders were chosen to lead our future B-squad . . . thus the curtain drops as ninth grade takes its final bows. Hurrahs went up and banners flew as we sophomores whomped the rest with our winning float. With profits from the Sophomore Talent Show, we gave our time and effort that the seniors might have a grand reception. The excitement of the State Hockey Tournament brought out our new found spirit . . . we're on our way taking with us memories of an unforgettable year. Popcorn, Popcorn that's our cry! We juniors begged our classmates for money shouting, Want a prom? On Saturday mornings we went sleepy-eyed to our job under the stands. We glowed with pride as we slipped class rings upon our fingers. Bruises and black eyes were the results of the battle between the junior and senior girls. The school doubled its size with continuous hammering and buzzing ... oh year of '61, we are sorry that you must pass to the realm of memories. The bells toll for us after years of hard work, fun and comradeship. Ere you forget, let's recall our senior year. Our boys served as the foundation for our excellent athletic teams. Reigning over our classic Homecoming were Gfueen Nan and King Jeff. Our first place float showed our superiority, and the success of the Senior Class Play pulled the treasury out of the red. Finally we reached the climax, when Commencement brought us thoughts of the future as well as the past ... In parting we wish to express a sincere feeling, long may she remain. With a look to the future And years gone by, We say thanks for the memories, Dear Edina High. 9

Ten, Not Two, Head Class of ’62 These ten people have achieved the highest scholastic rank in a class of 461 students. Because of the rapidly increasing class size and the slight differences in averages, the eleven-year tradition of honoring a valedictorian and a salutatorian has been abandoned. Exemplifying the finest academic performance in the closs of 1962, these outstanding students possess the qualities for a successful future.
