EDISONIAN STAFF The Edisonian staff with the able assistance of Miss Hartley and Mr. Coner published again the yearly Edisonian. The 1954 edition was based on realism and was produced under the guidance of the staff’s motto: “It’s time for a change” throughout the year. Much hard work has been put forth in the securing of ads, the subscription campaign, and the publishing in general. The goal of the staff was to publish a book that would please every one and hurt no one’s feelings as well as the best annual to be printed in Edison High School. The members of the staff have worked hard to achieve their goal. We wish to thank the faculty, the adminis- tration, the students, our advertisers, our spon- sor, our photographer, and anyone who has helped to make our book a success. 16 The 1954 Edisonian

EAGLE FEATHERS Every two weeks an issue of our school paper, Eagle Feathers, was published by the staff. Sometimes we did not think we would meet our deadline, but through hard work of the staff and help from our sponsor, Miss Hart- ley, and our English critics — Mrs. Crisman, Mrs. Chapman, and Mr. Owen — we were able to print a paper that we hope all liked and appreciated. The paper was comprised primarily of news articles about school, class, organization, sports, and sometimes outside activities. It also con- tained spiritual, moral, and educational edi- torials for the purpose of improving our school and helping the students to gain knowledge of importance. The 1954 Edisonian 17
