Soon another world will unfold before us, a world of new interests and new friends. All of us hear the future calling — calling to adventure, to fellowship with all living things, and to richer more reverent lives. We will develop unsuspected powers—we will learn to swim against the current rather than float with it. In the years at Edison we lived a life which was apart from that ever- moving tide. The Talon has attempted to capture the spirit of that school life, the one possession that will bring back the true picture of those memories of busy activity and reckless informality. And with the years we will return, Dear Alma Mater, a varied group of indomitable men and women, who swam against the current and answered the call to real life.

2)]e clica lio n Marion A. Sutton “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell ivhere his influence stops.” Henry Brooks Adams With the retirement of Miss Sutton, the Edison Township school system is los- ing a dedicated teacher and loyal friend who has inspired many pupils to achieve a worthy place in life. Through her steadying influence, genuine interest, high ideals, and ready acceptance of the challenge that is life, countless young people have been guided through the perplexing years that characterize young manhood and womanhood and have reached the full realization of their goals. Her calm exterior belies the keen sense of humor which needs only a sally to provoke; her efficiency masks the deep sense of responsibility that marks her every act. It is, therefore, with deep affection and gratitude that we, the class of 1964, dedicate the Talon to Miss Sutton, a dear friend. May her years be as fruitful and rewarding as she has made ours.
