We are proving that a world of different races can work and play together, cooperate, share and contribute to one another for the purpose of our democratic, educational betterment. l urge you to project into your future years, as tomorrow's citizens, these seeds of democ- racy which have grown so well in the confines of our school. We are intensely concerned with world brotherhood, and you students of Edison can, in years to come, impart much towards such an ideal and help tomorrow's world to widen its scope. You have brought commendable favor to our school this year through your schol spirit, your fine sportsmanship, and your cooperation with your faculty and administrators. Much of what you have accomplished has been due to your fine teachers, and their loyalty to you and to our school. May l extend to everyone at Edison, students and faculty alike, my sincere praise and commendations for what has been done this year. STUART M. WHITE, Principal ' Bama! OUR EDISON ADVISORY BOARD consists of an unpaid group ot West Fresno citizens whose aim is to render service to the school. Once a month they give us their suggestions concerning school activities. Members this year are Rien- holdt Wasemiller, Max Hoen, Henry Prinz, Andrew Prisco, Dr. S. L. Chong, Louis Gennuso, Stuart White, William Bigby, Frank Chun, William Cornac- chia, James Norian, John Caudillo, and John Fotes. ELEVEN ADMINI So Mr. MacDonald sent for you, eh? You walk slowly, with knees shaking and hands trembling, to a door expecting anything but the pleasant What can I do for you? That is Mr. Norman MacDonald- tondly referred to as Mr, Mac. a favorite with both students and faculty. There's always a mob waiting to see Miss Edith Ayer whose ability to understand our side of every problem makes our Dean of Girls, the peoples choice when we need help-anything from a safety pin to down to earth advice on life's greater problems. Hello, Edison High School says Miss Joyce Stir- land, who is also our financial secretary. Miss Stir- land is kept very busy keeping accurate accounts of all the money that comes and goes through the school office besides selling tickets to our games, shows and dances. Ah, busy Miss Florence Berg, very intent on keep- ing the attendance records correct, is very efficient indeed. RATORS Besides acting as mediator in marble squabbles, counseling Jr. High boys on problems of what cour- ses to take, how to be reinstated from the non- privileged list, etc., etc., etc., Mr. Wayne Hender- son, Junior High Boys Counselor also handles the canteen squad-no small iob in itself. Yet, somehow, he always has a smile and joke tor every situation -remarkable! How does she do it? Who? Do what? Miss Curran! Honestly, she remembers every de- tail past and present-even remembered l went to my grandmothers tuneral twice last year! You surely can't tool her-she knows all the answers! Maybe that's why she's the Junior High Coun- selor. Editors comment- nutt said! Those two very etticient girls typing rapidly on official looking forms are Eilene Seiler and Gloria Palomino, otiice clerks. Their duties consist oi keep- ing the records in order, writing out passes, mimeo- graphing tests and last, but certainly not least, making out report cards. CAFETERIA STAFF Serving from l50 to 200 nutritiuus lunches is no small task but it is ac- complished daily by the industrious cafeteria staff under the management ot Mr. Wayne Henderson. The stait consists ot: Mrs. Simon, Mrs. Kohl, and Mrs. Steitz. Gm ' It can be truthfully said that without the invaluable aid of the custodians, school iust wouldn't be. The limit ot their activities is legend-building repairs, daily room clean up, plus a thousand and one other extra curricular functions- keeping the grounds up lliterally sometimesl, taking care of furnaces and an- swering teachers requests tor supplies, extention cords-a key to replace the one that was lost or forgotten. ,X Ga giqdfzalld af Russell Mor ond Lupe Garcia b Ling Sow Mm rfvffgm Criily cmd Jo MMEQSIO Ronoid Gallegos gi I-GO WGYJCF Gnd MCMU WGQUQ' Doncxid Bischei 1.

' ' ' t SIXTY-TWO ELEVENTH GRADE ENGLISH taught by Mrs. Velma Taylor is cosidered by many students as the hardest course in school. Mrs. Taylor is showing her class the right method in paragraphing senten- ces. Other phases of English taught are literature, punctuation, spelling, and sentence structure-it you think that's all-there are still book reports and term papers about American authors. GRAMMAR has been stressed in Mr. Robert Clark's ninth grade English class. Many other things have been worked on, however. Students of this class have a fuller appreciation ot good books, a better understanding of composition and also spell much better than before. SITTING COMFORTABLY in the new lady's teacher lounge, Mrs. Gitfen, Mrs. Peterson, Miss Slaven, Mrs. Waters, and Miss l-losler are having a general discussion on the various phrases of English. SIXTY-THREE YOU'VE GOT TO BE ON THE BEAM in Mrs. Agnes Lacey's English class. All Work and no play-that's the kind of work tenth grade stu- dents must do in Mrs. Lacey's room. Grammar has commanded much class time and it's being explained to the students by Mrs. Lacey. SC CHEMlSTRY taught by Mrs. Louise Pierce, is a very interesting subject, though a little difficult at times. Occasionaly on ex- periment days a slight odor of rotten eggs drifts outside. The class is doing an ex- periment in spontaneous combustion. BIOLOGY CLASSES are taught by Miss Nettie Scott and Mrs. Dorothy Millerd. The preserv- ed unborn chicken and pig may be found among the many unusual specimens in bi- ology. The class is being shown cz movie on human re- lationship and plant and ani- mal life. SIXTY-FOUR GENERAL SCIENCE taught by Miss Martha Nowlen, is a sub- iect dealing with the funda- mentals of human life. Surrounded by her students, Miss Nowlen is performing an experiment in hydrogen. NCE NATURE STUDY may be described as an old term for birds and bees in Mr. Hi- ram Ching's room. Students learn about flowers, plants and how they grow, Such topics as Little Petunia and how she grew may be describing the growth of flowers. HEALTH is a very essential subject to all of us. Mr. Gro- ver Gates, the instructor, teaches his students hygiene, energy, food and its calories. The students are listening very attentively. PHYSICS students under the di- rection of Mrs. Louise Pierce have gained much knowledge in the study of sound, heat, and light. An experiment in light and sound is being dem- onstrated by Mrs. Pierce to her class. SIXTY-FIVE Social 5 . CIVICS CLASSES under the instruction ot Mr. Bramblett have studied the United States government and its constitution. Those stu- dents listening intently to what Mr. Bramb- lett is telling them of today's world prob- lems, will someday themselves participate in making history, with their Edison High class in civics having served as the inspration for their career. of , f ' ' g 4552?

Current events have also been emphasized throughout the year in class discussions on the paper Our Times. Mr. Moody don't look so serious-that's only a map your pointing at. WORLD DEVELOPMENT stu- dents under the instruction ot Mr. Alfred Rumley have studied our world from its earliest known existence. A most in- teresting subiectf' remarked one of the students. lt seems that the class is very interested in the world globe on which Mr. Rumley is demonstrating. SOCIAL STUDIES is taught by Mr. Slate, Mrs. King, Mrs. Fol- lansbee, Mrs. Oitten, Mr. Perry, Miss Myers, and Mrs. Follans- bee. A discussion concerning policies is going on among them now. Social Studies in- cludes geography, vvorld prob- lems, and a thorough study ot the Constitution ot The United States. Malia MATH COURSES at Edison cover a wide field ot subiect matter. ln the Junior High classes, simple arithmetic and algebra are taught. Geometry, solid geometry, trigonometry, and advanced al- gebra are taught in the senior division. Acquiring knowledge of any kind enables students to handle the many mathematical problems which arise in the business of living. Mr. Sam Johnson, Miss Adelia Bowlin, Miss Mabel Grandstrand, and Miss Lillian Almquist teach math classes. fz g i .P gs T f diff. J O2 , J 'wi' 9' 5 with his problem. THE ADVANCED ALGEBRA class doesn't have an easy job learning and keeping up with their work in class. This subiect covers quadratic equations and graph work Miss Almquist is helping El vira Chun with one of the problems while Teruo Ego waits his turn to question her SIXTY EIGHT ALGEBRA students learn the whys and wherefores of fig- ures in symbols. The study and formal proofs are taken up on equations, square roots, and radicals. Mr. Sam Johnson has no easy task in teaching algebra. Here, he is teaching students simple fundamentals of algebra. ARITHMETIC under the direc- tion of Miss Mabel Grand- strand who taught eighth grade students percentages in business formulas and many other things about gen- eral arithmetic. Amy Wong is raising her hand to ask Miss Grandstrand a quest- ion. TRIGONOMETRY AND SOLID GEOMETRY are two of the toughest courses in school taught by Miss Lillian Almquist. Trig is hard to catch on but after solid geometry, you'll be completely worn down when you're trying to re- member the laws of logs, cosines, tangents and cotangents. SIXTY-NINE Wd .': Y ' la: ' .Qui f E Q BANG, BANG, BANG! That's the noise you'll most likely hear coming from the metal shop in the brick building. Students are divided into two divisions, beginners and advanced. Boys make hammers, nails, screwdrivers and other things ot metal.

Print- ing dance posters, absence slips, Christmas and Mikado programs, transfer slips, and tardy slips have kept Mr. MehI's students busy thorugh- out the year. INDUSTRIAL ARTS TRAINING at Edison High this year has included bookbind- ing and mechanical drawing in addition to metal shop, prnting and wood shop. WOOD SHOP taught by Mr. Mike Argentino is open to all boys trom the ninth grade up. The proiects most pop- ular with the boys are lamps and bureaus. Mr. Argentino is showing some boys how to operate the machine. SEVENTY-ONE LATIN, taught at Edison by Mr. Eldon Lorey, is one of the most important funda- mentals in foreign language. You will find many English words which are derived from Latin and thus know- ing Latin helps one to know the English language better. When you're up and out of Latin, you'lI be saying Veni, Vidi, Vincti, as Julius Cae- sar said, I come, I saw, and I conquered. S 62 PANISH is considered one ot the easiest, and most fun to learn, subjects in school. Mr. Tim Mazzoni is trying to help Phillip Yick with his Spanish homework-but after a tew mnutes, he says, Impossible, might as well give up! Phillip makes up his own words for Spanish as pencil-lapiz, he says pencion. SEVENTY-TWO Y YY-V ,gk W ACH DUM! - Attention! Miss Lampson calls to her German class. German is probably one ot the hardest ot all toreign languages be- sQs,g . ' cause it is hardest to enun- ciate. However, that doesn't seem to keep a large number ot students from signing up tor German every year. ONE OF THE MOST INFORMAL academic classes at Edison is Mr. Mazzonis 4th period Italian class. Since the language is native to most ot the students-not to mention the teacher- the class progress is understandably rapid. Quote one ot the students- Like it? Sure this class is lust one happy family. SEVENTY-THREE SEVEIXITY-FOUR ARTS .AND CRAFTS Grosse.

With only fourteen people, one typewriter, and inadequate working space, the iournalism class has overcome most of their handicaps and ob- stacles by incessant hard work. Unfortunately, commercial printing rates have risen so high in the past year that the class was forced to abandon their commercially printed Highlight, nevertheless, they have been putting out mimeographed papers which are equally good.

Ot the many large organizations at Edison High School, the Young Womens' Christian Asso- ciation, better known as the Y-Teens, is probably the most helpful toward the growth ot better womanhood.

The highlight game of the ten game season was played against Fresno High on our own floor. Our team emerged victoriously 45 to 27 to become the co-champions of the Yosemite League with Fresno High. The usual starting line-up was Parker and Richmond at guards, Pounds at center, and Weaver, Porasso, and Harding sharing the forward positions. Theye were bolstered by Ernest Slade, Bob Fries, Nick Obradovich, Floyd White, Otis Harris, Vic Mazula and Andy Ruiz. High point men of the season were Wally Pounds, who netted T38 points to lead the league in scoring, and Ted Weaver with l3l close behind. Parker and Weaver won berths on the All-City Team, and Weaver was also chosen for the All-Northern California Prep Basketball second team conducted by the San Francisco Ex- aminer. CLASS B BASKETBALL The B's had high hopes of retaining the championship they won last year, when they began their season successfully by conquering Merced High 27 to T9. But as the season progressed, our team came out on the short end of five games and thus placed third in Yosemite League play. The usual starting line-up vvas Lum and Spate at guards, Cooley at center, and Lett and Wong at forward. Those boys who didn't play first string but also deserve credit are Haw, Lee, Madrid, Chavez, and Pacheco. C BASKETBALL There is no need to go into details explaining the activities of the C basketball team through- out the season. The team, not only went through the season without a league defeat, but also won the distinction of being the first team in the history of the school to go through competition undefeated. It is agreed by all the members of the team that their coach, Elam Hill, deserves much of the credit for training such an exceptional team. Without further explana- tion, meet the champions-Chinn, Nitta, Wong, Gideon, Tomoya, Owens and Muniz.
