PLAYING WITH PRESTIGE A report to Edina's shareholders wouldnit be complete without the inclusion of the top ratings and profits earned throughout the year. We were a young corporation, after merging the companies of Edina East and Edina West only two years before. But our pride and determination kept us striving for perfection, perfection attained in true Edina fashion and class. Whether it was through sports, I academics, or even personalities; Edina students worked hard to achieve their top ratings, ratings exemplified by each and every one of the following: A top-ranked boysi gymnastics team consisting of only five extremely dedicated members. A concert choir that, despite the loss of intense senior leadership from the previous year, came up proud- and participated in the ttWorldB Largest Choir at the Scandinavia Today School's pride. program in Minneapolis. A'strong football team that started its season without key members Mike Halloran and Carl Ramseth. who were busy showing off their athletic strengths representing Edina at the American Legion Baseball Tournament in Boyertown, Pennsylvania. And a superb literary arts magazine, Images on the Wind. which received the distinguished title of ttBest Literary Arts Magazine in Minnesota High Schools, as well as an Ali-American rating. These examples, in addition to countless others, contributed to the immense achievement at Edina High School. Obviously, these profits were gained not only by students alone, but by their parents and teachers as well. Without their permissais of broken curfews, broken due dates, and constant support, deadlines wouldnt have been met and extracurriculars wouldn't have become the success stories that they did. But whatever the case, the enthusiasm to achieve and succeed was the driving force towards our high achievements, and our physical, emotional, and personal profits that resulted.
