I .. sftiesrx- :KM .ss Mr. Pat Rice raises the flag at the field dedication. October 17, 1971 the communities of Berlin Heights and Milan dedicated the new Edison High School building. September 15, 1973 the Athletic Complex was dedicated. This was the climax of several years of planning and hard labor by many parents and students. A New Field A New Beginning was the motto of the 1973 football season. Before the Edison - Wellington game, Mr. Alex Boss, complex chairman of the Athletic Boosters, presented the field to Mr. Glen Hennings, president of the Berlin-Milan Board of Education. With the Edison Marching Band playing the national anthem, the American flag given by the Milton Shane family, was raised by mem- bers ofthe American Legion. The flag pole is in memory of Mr. Milton G. Shane. He was a 1943 graduate of Milan High School where he played basketball and baseball. When the actual work began on the football field, he ran the bull dozing equipment. Mr. Shane was an ar- dent supporter and spectator of local and school sports. After the Athletic Complex was planned and approved, fund raising projects were conduct- ed. Money received paid for materials needed for the field and a one thousand-seat stand. Students and adults volunteered their labor and machinery to level, grade, and seed the new football field in the fall of 1972. The stands were assembled in August 1973. Many last minute items such as the press box and score- board were completed the week prior to the first home game of the 1973 football season. The football field and stands are only a por- tion of the Athletic Complex. Future plans in- clude a Cinder track around the football field. A baseball diamond and tennis courts will complete the Athletic Complex at Edison High School. 1?-V T' il-il? 'Q' 'Ll 136!AthIetic Complex

Five hundred dollars in profit was made by the Varsity E Club from their major fund raising project for the year. March 4 the Harlem Diplomats played against the Edison faculty. To promote additional sales the Diplomats sold tickets at the middle and high schools during the lunch periods the day of the game. Many antics were used to sell additional tickets. They were assisted by basketball players Dale Shane, Steve Crecelius, and Tony Fiobinette. The faculty members who played were Mr. John Feyedelem, Mr. Jim Whittington, Mr. Jerry Osborne, Mr. Tom Gfell, and Mr. Tom Ferguson. They were no match for the Diplomats and their many bags of tricks. The game and entertainment ended with the Diplomats winning by twenty-five points. The money was used toward paying off the univer- sal weight machine that was purchased for the Athlet- ic Department. lt is also available to members of the community who are interested and need the exercise program the weight machine offers. Elected officers of the Varsity E Club were presi- dent, Dan Willis, vicepresident, Scott Schaeffer, sec- retary, Tony Robinettep and treasurer, Mike Smith. Faculty adviser, Mr. Dave Kile, was assisted by Mr. Jim Whittington. Varsity E Club!137
