Meeting At The Top In suonepadxg xpectations of Edina, both as a school and as a community, had traditionally been high. Athletic teams were expected to be of a state championship caliber. A number of seniors were expected to apply to, and be accepted at, highly competitive colleges. Organizations and clubs were expected to produce quality publications, dances, or doughnut sales. With the combining of East and West into Edina High, the expectations placed upon the shoulders of Edina High Schools students soared to an even higher status. Pressures to excel, to be uthe besth, were suddenly more pressing than ever. Rival teams in the Lake South Conference anticipated that Edina would be hthe team to beat? ttA students were expected, by both parents and peers, to keep up the class rank, despite the fact that there were twice as many students with whom to compete. Also, school spirit was predicted to reach a lofty peak. Did Edina live up to these expectations? Some said yes, others no. Neither response was completely accurate, for while Edina achieved the highest level of proficiency in some areas, it failed to quite make the grade in others. These expectations, however, were the guiding powers behind many Edina High School successes. In short, high expectations resulted in the two Edina schools MEETING AT THE TOP. INTRODUCTION 7
