Edison High School - Edisonian Yearbook (Lake Station, IN)

In view of the above fact, and because we have adopted a rule which requires an average scholarship of 85 % for the four years for a student to be eligible for recommendation for college entrance, I think it advisable to call the attention of all undergraduates to the advisability of at- tempting to improve their study habits and thereby increase their scholastic standing. Research studies have shown thero is a definite relationship between grades and earning ability in later life. If every student realized fully that he is working for himself rather than for the instructor, his study habits and his scholastic standing would show a definite im- provement. Edison high school, like all public schools in America, exists for the sake of the students rather than the teachers. I do sincerely hope our school will develop a better standard of scholarship in the future, because there is no other way in which the individual student can profit so much. Our earnest Gos- ' ro is that the future of our school may far outshine its past history, but, if it docs, it will be due more to the efforts of the individuals who comprise the student body than to the efforts of any other person or persons . The school spirit of the student body in Edison High has for years been very good. The members are loyal and cooperative in every respect. Their citizenship has general- ly boon good and most students arc courteous and polite. Someone has said, Good is never permissible when better is attainable. Therefore, we hope that those conditions which arc good may continue to improve in the future. With pleasant recollections of the past and fondest hopes for the future, I wish the seniors of ’41 bon voyage. Supt . of East Gary Schools
