IN MEMORIAM Pearl Nelson 7 B Harold Ziegler 7 A Alice Duvick 8 A c ZZZZZZ3 At the feet of our loved leader, our guide, The father of this our far-reaching tribe.

Cook Sar-kar THE MAGES OF OUR TRIBE IV. F. Webster Kar-guzar MY HOPE is that every boy and girl in Edison may have implanted in his heart a bit of that immortal fire, the love of learning, which has come down to us through the ages. Solomon, in one of his sonnets, speaks of wisdom as the Supreme Prize. My son. despise not the chastening of the Lord: Neither be weary of his reproof: For whom the Lord loveth he reproveth: Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom. And the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver. And the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: And none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her. The Lord by wisdom founded the earth: By understanding he established the heavens. By His knowledge the depths were broken up. And the skies dropped down the dew. L. G. Cook. LAST night I sat by my window, looking toward the west as the sun went down. Only one cloud lay long and flat, and took on the changing colors of the sunset. The earth slowly dropped away, and I thought of you. boys and girls of Edison School. Only one thing I wished that you might have, happiness. Then I thought if you could only know that happiness is not purchased in any market! It does not come with many things. A little home: enough to keep back want from entering the door: and friends.—some little, who call you Father or Mother, some grown-up. whom you can trust. Not in things, but in yourselves! Be happy— with much if it must be: with little, if that must be: but be happy. You can. And things can't make you happy. V. F. Webster. Page 7 ATIBBA Go thou and hear to me. O Genii strange, The lore of the mysterious ancient sage. The calm endurance of the patient Job. The quiet kindness of the gentle monk. Then with my magic art. a potion strong. Ill mix with greatest care and labor sore, Until before me come the forms and shapes. Of our learned ones, our well-loved teachers dear.

Johnson Carney Corser Cockburn Braden Gibson Erb Edson THE FACULTY THE faculty meets at sundry and odd times—around the postoffice boxes in the morning, in room 314 to make programs, sometimes at lunch, or Monday afternoons in whatever room the bulletin says—and grades and fails, honor students and plans, rules and methods all come up for discussion (bobbed hair even gets its innings). But three times this year the faculty has met away from school with none of these subjects in mind. On September the thirteenth, ninety broiled T-bone steaks were consumed by the faculty and their families at Glen-wood Park. On little red hot fires, steaks sizzled and coffee sent its fragrant aroma into the chill air. Autumn colorings. rustling leaves, a lovely sunset fed the souls of those who found mere steaks and coffee inadequate; there were none, it may be added, who scorned them altogether. As darkness came down, singing around a blazing bonfire occupied the majority; the minority searched industriously for the cutlery some enterprising cleaner-up had put in the fire. Miss Cockburn invited the women of the faculty to tea at her home on December the seventeenth. They talked by the fire in a gracious, flower-laden atmosphere and drank tea amidst a chatter of Christmas plans. Mr. Cook, with the good excuse for calling for his wife, came late and was prevailed upon to go to the tea table. Next morning he found this bit on his desk: “There was a young man so benighted He didn't know when he was slighted. He went to a party And ate just as hearty As though he’d been really invited.'' On March the thirteenth (teachers it will be noticed have no superstitions about thirteen; they will all start on their vacations on Friday the thirteenth this year) the Edison faculty entertained the staff of the Child Guidance Clinic. After a pleasant dinner in the delightful atmosphere of the Glenwood chateau to the accompaniment of music by the Edison Girls' Orchestra, that near classic. “She Thinks She Smells Smoke. was given by faculty members, and Dr. Lawson G. I.owrey spoke about his work and its relation to the schools.

Johnson Wallace Teslie Tuttle Lomnicki Pile Martinson By June, spring-fever has done its deadly work, and teachers are relieved that the last note-books, experiments, and themes have been handed in and O Ked. Eagerly they turn to new scenes, new faces, new plans. Breakfast in bed. time to read the morning paper, an opportunity later in the day of renewing acquaintance with the downtown streets and parks of Minneapolis is all that many ask. and these will pleasantly and profitably put in their time at home. For others the call of the Ten Thousand Lakes is strong, and they will seek cottages by the water, trails through the forests, fish in the streams, rest and peace and space where they may be found. Those whose homes are in other states —Iowa. Montana. Wisconsin. Dakota —will tell there the tale of Minnesota. Then there are some, ambitious souls, who will study: half a dozen will be at the University of Minnesota, three at Columbia, three in California. Others will travel. Some will see Niagara, the Thousand Islands. Boston. Virginia, and all points between, via cars-toot-toot. Fords, and other makes. Some will go west: California has a summer song that lines as well as a winter one. Two. at least, will go to Europe; Miss McMillan will spend the summer in England, and Miss Bruce will visit Greece and Egypt as well as Italy. France, and England. There are those who. when asked about their summer plans, were not so definite: some did not know: for others, the state of their finances after the June bills were paid would decide: one man desired to be searched. Others were more definite: one man s summer will be spent in a bee yard, and a woman is sure that hers will be in St. Peter due to over-stiers of school work. September will find everyone back with all the crabbiness and crankiness removed. anxious for the pay check ahead, fit and ready for a new year's work, and glad to greet their friends, the students.

Four years for this land. We. over the weary waves did seek. Where Wisdom is supreme. Where none but the educated speak— The land of an ideal dream. Now to the welcomed beach. To rest our tired bones Free from the breakers' reach. And the winds' piercing groans. Worth far more than the time and strife— This island of unspoiled bliss. Which puts the joy into a wanderer's life. As free as one could wish. Soon up fly some whisperings. “There's another luring isle Not far to the Eastward lying. More attractive all the while. Oh. we must embark on the seas again. And weigh our anchor more! For we. indeed, would fain set. A foot on another wonderous shore. George Martin.

We “ran wild until 1921. when we organized and elected Mr. Jefferson Benner as class adviser; Herman Hilleboe. president; Mabel Sampson, vice-president: Ruth Skellie. secretary: and Theodore Liberkowski. treasurer. Two parties were given at East in the sewing room. The prize fox trot was the feature of the evening at the first party. Herman Hilleboe won the prize of a shaving outfit and Ralph Palmgren with Mabel Sampson won honorable mention. Paper hearts with the names of the members of the class were worn. In 1922 a sad event caused us to be separated from our classmates at East. We were glad to come to our new school but hated to part from our old friends: however, no tears were shed. We were a lucky class to have Mr. Benner come to Edison with us. Our first class election resulted in having Theodore Liberkowski. president: Earl Sheppard, vice-president: Alida Am-bert. secretary: and Ralph Palmgren, treasurer. Our first class party at Edison was held November 10. 1922. Fred Fleming and Virginia Early won the prize fox trot. Fred received a hat and Virginia was presented with an expensive doll set of table and chairs. Wonder if Virginia ever made use of them! The last social event was the combined Junior class Chow Mein dinner which was a great success. Mr. Benner helped make the Chow Mein and it tasted good. At the next election Theodore Liberkowski was again elected president; Gladys Kucera. vice-president; Alida Ambert. secretary: and Fred Fleming, treasurer. Our party for this term was a joint one with the June. '24. class. We found this party to be more successful than the first one. A good program consisted of a piano solo, readings, and a song. Games and dancing were the features later in the evening. The second election of 1923 brought forth Theodore Liberkowski. president; Earl Sheppard, vice-president: Alida Ambert. secretary; and Fred Fleming, treasurer. The feature party of this term was the “hard time party. Miss Cole won a wagon for having the largest feet of the faculty. We are glad that Miss Cole has a good understanding. With the class play and our banquet each a success, our class history closes. We are no longer “green” freshmen but “greener alumni facing the cruel world. Laura Johnson.

Page 38 THE JUNE '24 CHRONICLE Now in the first month of the third year of the reign of Erhman. chief ruler of the East, it came to pass that from out of the many kingdoms shy maidens with lock unshorn and hashful youths came seeking entrance into this far-famed realm. And when they had found favor in the eyes of the ruler, they were given each to the charge of the mages of Erhman. And while they sojourned in this wonderful land, they learned of the mysteries of the planets and of the sages, and talcs of distant lands and the interpretation of signs. But they were often reviled by the sophisticates and suffered great affliction. And lo, they endured these chastcnings. Thus ended the first year. And when the first month of the fourth year of the rule of Erhman came, they entered the realm of East once more. And like unto the first year was the second. The sages gave words of wisdom to the youths and maidens, filling them with the deeds of old. guiding them through great trials, and aiding them to greater understanding of man. life, and things. The youths and maids grew to love the kingdom, the chief ruler, and the counselors. And behold, a decree was sent out by the king that the sojourners in the realm of East must leave and enter a new kingdom to the north. And great was the lamentation of them who had to leave. And thus ended the second year. Now it came to pass, the sojourners of the kingdom of East entered the great realm of Edison. Louis of the house of Cook was charged with their guidance. It also came to pass that a decree from the ruler was sent out that the class of 24 be enrolled as one tribe. And all went to enroll themselves, every one to his class until many names were inscribed. As was the custom of the time, tribe rulers were elected. Frank of the house of Koss. president; Marian, second daughter of one Sargent. Vice-president; Hilgard, son of Nels. scribe; Edward whose last name is Kossart. steward. And it came to pass that the class of 24 now entered the field of activities. of dramatics and of commercialism. Many were there who were recognized by authorities as excelling by far in these pursuits. And. in accordance with certain customs. class parties were held. At first as children, they played games, but as they grew older, games gave way to dances. Many and strange were these parties, spring parties, hard-time parties, and costume parties. Many of the sages would come to see and wonder at the frolics of their charges. Now m the first month in the second reign of Cook, the class was assigned under one sage, a true cause for lament. Again. Frank of the house of Koss was president; Harold, only son of Howard. Vice-president; Erna. last daughter of one Colby, keeper of the scribe; Edward, w'hose last name is Kossart. steward. It became the task of this class to promote the publication of the first yearly chronicle. The Wizard. Into this task, the class put their best. And on the twenty-ninth day of the month called May. the class presented a drama, the second of its kind in the kingdom of Edison. And friends saw everything that had been done. and. behold, it was very good. And thus ended the fourth year. And lo. twenty years have passed and many arc they who have become famous. Norma, oldest daughter of Andre, has become a great pianist, known over the world. Grace of Troy is America s 'Sarah Bernhardt. John, whose last name is Hollander, exacted the money of the nation. Margaret. last of the Schwcizers, has astounded the world with her speed on the type machine. Edward, whose last name is Kossart. is second in power in the nation. Frank, of the house of Koss. is a great servant of the State. Vera, beloved daughter of Oskcy. is the greatest dramatic writer of the age. Frank, of the Scotch house of McCulloch, is Chief Justice of the nation. Thus, the days of the sojourn in Edison were good; the future promising. Kate Soruig THEM DAYS 15 GO ML FOREVER Page 40 Page 41 BASHFUL? SHIPWRECKED “ BETTY ■' MAW” Page 42 JUMIORS PAGES FROM JUNIOR DIARIES Edited by William Schulze 2 Tuesday. April 22, 1924. This afternoon “Aggie asked me to come to a banquet that the “Blue Triangle” club is having tomorrow. We always have such fun at the parties and banquets, but I've already promised to attend the party that the Big Sister committee of the J. S. Club is having for the freshmen girls. I have just returned from a G. A. A. hike. I don't know what I would do if it was not for the skating, volleyball, swimming, and hiking that I have done since I joined the G. A. A. A week from tomorrow we start baseball practice. Just watch the Juniors win! Thursday, April 24. 1924. We had a fine time at the freshmen party yesterday. We danced, taught others to dance, and played games. 1 didn't realize how many freshmen girls I did not know. I heard that the Blue Triangle banquet was a great success too. but that is no more than natural because every girl has a good time when she belongs to the “Y.” The School Service Committee stayed after school tonight and decorated the booths for tag day. We've worked hard, but it is worth it. and besides, it’s fun to help the school. Sunday I am going with Miss Seymour and the girls on the Hospital committee to see Mrs. Haverly at the General Hospital. It seems ages since we had our last regular J. S. meeting. and our next one is a week from today. I am so glad it is soon! No one can realize how much fun it is to belong to all of the clubs until they really do belong. Vern and I couldn’t live without our club meetings. W. B. APRIL 1. 1924. Gee. what a day! I believe I’ve had more fun today than I’ve had for the last month. In the first place I came to school quite early so I would have lots of time to fool Helen McKenna and Dot Sandgrcn. I played a pretty good trick on Helen. I wrote out a fail slip and asked my adviser to help me put it over. Mrs. Gillies is certainly a good sport. When Helen came into the room. Mrs. Gillies asked her what the slip meant and told her she had better see about it. Helen did, and came back hopping mad. Oh. it was worth the trouble to hear her rave. Nothing very important happened the first period, except that I heard Ade Kennison ask Florine Heiges what brand of hosiery she usually wears. Wonder if he’s planning to give her a birthday present. That struck me as being quite funny. When I was at my locker between periods, G. G. came along and gave my hair the awfullest yank and called me by my former nickname, the one he knows I hate! I got even, though. The funniest thing was said in my United States History Class today. Oh. it was comical! I thought Mrs. Buckle would split. Agnes Wiese got up to recite and she said. “By the treaty of 1786 the United States got control of the middle of the Mississippi River. Guess I’ll turn in now. G'night! A. E. H. February 1. 1924. We lost today! The score was 21-20. We got a rotten deal though, the referee missed every foul they committed and none of ours. Imagine! Had three minutes to make one basket and couldn’t do it. I know mighty well that that guy held me on that last shot, though. Gee! if I had only made it. It sure was close enough. Those fellows must have a gunny sack full of horseshoes. All their captain had to do was sign his name on the ball and throw it. he couldn’t miss. Gee! it was raw the way the “ref” let that guy travel: every time he got the ball he would break dribble, but it was overlooked every single time. Jimminy chrismus! We sure are the hard luck guys, why we were ahead of them the whole game! until they stuck in that Page 44 little runt of a substitute who never made a basket before in his life, and -------- let him run all around him and drop in two baskets. Johnny sure played a nice game though, he sure was smacking those fellows every time they got the ball up near our basket. Frank was a good sport to pick that guy up. but even though I ’sposc I shouldn't say it, I wish he would have cracked him harder. We still have a good chance if we win the next four games, which we will. We’ve only lost two games. I got three baskets. The coach shouldn’t have bawled me out about that last shot though; I couldn’t see anyone that was open. I bet Arnie” would have missed it just as much as anybody else if I had passed it to him. H.

That it was late, he too well knew, his heart within him sank. For who was clever enough, pray tell, to deceive the mean old crank? T he hour was 8:35 when he entered his own home-room. The students looked up reproachfully, the room was in a gloom. He looked at them for pardon, but their faces were stern and piqued. Then he glanced once at his teacher, and fell slumping in his seat. Come here! commanded Miss Gibson. Young man. why are you late? His face was blank, his cheeks were pale, he was in a sorry state. Go sir. she said, to Mr. Cook, so sick are we of you.

A FRESHMAN S PLACE IN HIGH SCHOOL To call freshmen green and tease them is a tradition as old as high schools. As the result of this, freshmen have assumed an indifferent attitude or else a timid one. where they get out of everybody's way and think they have not any important part in school. This is wrong. The freshman has a very real place. He should not humdrum the year away with work-study-study-work. He is in the largest group the heart of the school. If he assumes no part in school activities and the carrying of the school spirit along, he becomes a drag. Therefore, he should get into the spirit. As soon as he does this, he is no longer a green horn; he is helping play the game. He need not expect to get into the game without effort on his part. He should support athletics, and also get into them. He must use his leisure time profitably. He has plenty of opportunities to do so as we have such organizations as the Silver Triangle, the Forum, the G. A. A., the Hi-Y Club, and the Basket and Baseball teams. These arc for his benefit. However, he must endeavor to get good marks: in fact, he should be on the honor roll from the time he enters the school. When these conditions prevail. we will have done 3way with the old tradition. The Edison freshman is striving to do away with the irresponsible member of the school and to put in his place a freshman who identifies himself with the school, knows his place and worth, respects himself and commands respect from others.

BEFORE EDISON HIGH SCHOOL WAS BUILT Before our school was built, we had much fun on the place where Edison High now stands. We had underground shacks and oftentimes we would sit in them on rainy days. Sometimes the Fire Marshall would come and see how we were behaving. He would look over the shacks and say, It's all right, boys, but don’t make any large fires. Two or three boys would get into one of these shacks and see who could stand the most smoke. First we would build a large fire; then we would put a pan over the chimney and block the door. In a few minutes the boys would come crawling out like flooded prairie dogs. Our sports were destined to come to an end. One day as we were playing marbles, a man came and took a picture of us boys. We asked him the reason for this. He replied, Have you not heard there is to be a school built here?” We all went home greatly displeased. Lawrence Johnson. 8A. LOST—AT EDISON If any one of you has been lost in the gloom of a desert, well, being lost at Edison is just about the same. That is. before you get acquainted,—with the teachers. It was the beginning of the fourth period and my first day in Edison. It is very hard to remember all the details, for I am so very ancient now, you see. I started for the Hygiene room and when I got there, discovered that I had left my book in the room from which I had come. I ran down the stairs and had a little difficulty in finding my book. I had been in such a hurry that I had not noticed how I had come down from room 232. I was greatly terrified and began to walk around the halls. Finally I mustered up sufficient courage to go into a room and ask the teacher to direct me to the right place. It happened that it was a class of senior high pupils who heard me ask for the directions. They began to laugh —much to my embarrassment. The teacher directed me to the room from whence I had come.

Pile Baseball-Basketball Coach Page 61 An O'Brien Tackle in the East-Edison Came FOOTBALL 1923 The 24 football team at Edison, one of which every student could be proud, started with two East High veterans. Mellerke and O’Brien. Blakeslee was a new coach also, and little was known about the strength of the team and th’ methods used by the new coach. Mellerke was chosen captain, and the men practiced long and hard to get in shape for the coming games. The game with Central proved that the Edison team was a strong one. and although the Blue Gold eleven was defeated by a 20 to 12 score in this game. Central supporters breathed a sigh of relief when the final whistle blew, as the Hollander-Howard arial combination was working to perfection. This defeat didn't discourage the team, for they downed the strong North eleven 20 to 14. East came next and our friendly enemy held the Blue and Gold warriors to a scoreless tie. although one more plunge would have taken the ball over for Edison if the final whistle had not blown when it did. Edison held South to a scoreless tie at Nicollet Park on a field covered with mud. Both teams had one chance to score, but both lines held their opponents and prevented a score. The Blue and Gold warriors triumphed over our Roosevelt rivals with a 41 to 6 score, the largest one of the season. The season ended with the game with West, which was lost by the small margin of two points, the result of a safety caused by a break’' in the game. The final score was 5 to 3. Edison with two victories, two defeats. and two tie games was tied for third place with East and North. Page 62 A Spill in the Central-Edison Game The First Touchdown of the Season.

Each of the schools played six games, that is. the second round was omitted. With Turgeon. Koss. and Colliton. three members of the championship East High team, and Harry Petroske from the champion Schiller team. Coach Thompson was to build the first Edison baseball team.

ROOTER Nine candidates tried out for Rooter Kings the fall term. They were given a chance to show their stuff in the sixth period study hall, the students being the judges of their ability. Edward Couture. Ralph Ostrander, and Frank McCulloch were elected to lead the organized cheering at all fall and winter games. Mid-year graduation claimed Ed. Couture and Ralph Ostrander, leaving only Frank to carry out the “screeching business.’’ The Rooters’ Club chose was the Edison battery. Before a crowd of two thousand spectators, Edison won the first game, 9 to 6. The Central game was next, which was lost by Edison. Edison took the former championship East High nine into camp by an 8 to 6 count. In the next contest Edison held the heavy South sluggers to a 4 to 2 score. Edison won its third game by defeating the Northsiders, 9 to 6. West upset the dope by defeating Edison 10 to 2. In the final standing. Edison was tied for third place with North and West with 500 per cent. KINGS two of its members to fill the vacancies. George Mlinar and Ralph Dow then started to warm up the crowds with the “rah, rah. rah.” Edison is proud of her first cheer leaders while she thinks no less of her second term Kings. With two of her present Kings back again next fall Edison will not be handicapped by weak yell leaders, for these two promise to be stronger and better—another team to be proud of. McCulloch Couture Ostrander Page 64 Dow McCulloch Mlinar O'Brien Music a Captain “Habits Mellerke proved himself a worthy captain. He was a good offensive player, and he could not be beaten on the defense. He backed up the line in excellent style, and could be counted on for a gain when it was needed. He was cool during the heated moments of the game, and other teams were constantly watching him. Johnny was the triple threat of our team. His kicking and passing were important factors in keeping the team up with the leaders. He installed pep into the ream and showed a fine spirit throughout the season. He was chosen All-City halfback by both the Journal and Tribune. Hollander Pat further proved that the Irish are a fighting nation in the games this season. Whenever the opposing team tried our line they found him there, and few gains were made through him. He was the tower of strength on the line. He was chosen All-City tackle by the Tribune. Arnie played quarterback, and chose his plays well. He could be used as a kicker or passer, and the opposing teams were often fooled when he dropped back to kick or pass. He promises to become an All-City quarter next year. Simso Pip. after subbing on the East eleven for two years, came to Edison and proved himself worthy of a place on the first team, by his wide-awakeness during the games. He will be back again next year. Frank, playing his first and last year of high school football, showed promise of becoming a first-class end with a little more experience. If he had another year, we believe he would be selected as an All-City end. Koss Page 65 “Johnny” held down center this year until he received an injury in the middle of the season which kept him out of the game for the rest of the season. Merlin played guard and center position, and his work will always be remembered by his teammates as the best he had in him. Riggs Peter is known to be a hard, constant player and he was one of the strong men in the Edison line. Peter will be at his old position again next year. Although “Peter” was the smallest man on the squad, it did not stop him from making the team. He was always ready to take any position in the backfield when called on. Rusnak T urgeon “Abbie” reported when the season was half over and showed that he was of high school caliber. He was put on the team and was used in many positions. He showed ability to kick in drop kicking and punting, and will be back next year. “Fat was a good mate for O’Brien. He could always be depended upon to get his man. and was a powerful defensive and offensive player. He will lead the team next year. Flor Tema Page 66 Christianson Baldwin Dougherty Poole Tarzen’’ played a good game, stopping plays coming through him. and opening holes in the opposing line. Frequently he was down under punts and got the opposing player who caught the ball. Baldwin will wear the Edison colors again next year. Although '‘Fluffy’’ did not hold a regular berth on the team, he displayed his “fight and pep’’ when he did get in. Even though he was small, the opposing players always knew they hit something when they ran up against him. a Shore Although handicapped by torn ligaments in his ankle, which he received in a practice game. Jimmy broke the doctor’s orders and came out and made the team. Howie” was one of the best offensive players in the city. He could break away and give Hollander a target for a completed pass, which counted for many yards that were gained during the season. Howard Although he was not a regular, he showed fight and pep when he did get in. Page 67 1923 CROSS-COUNTRY REVIEW The most glorious cross-country season that Edison High has ever seen or ever will behold began when Coach Harry Miller issued a call early in the fall of 1923 asking that all hill and dale candidates report for practice. From forty to fifty men immediately responded: more than double the number that turned out the year before. As the training period advanced, prospects of having even a fair team were diminished as Clyde Milan. Edison’s high point man of the year before. had not returned to school while Frank Koss and Ollie Bartlett, both of whom promised to become stars, dropped cross-country to support the major sport, football. Later on Ed. Kossart, the captain of the first Blue Gold harrier team, also dropped from the squad. The loss of four such valuable men would have been more than enough to discourage anyone, but Coach Miller worked all the harder with the remaining veterans. Edward Couture. Julius Dodge. Martin Severson. Helmuth Kossart. and the new men (some of whom were very promising) in a seemingly hopeless task of building up a strong team. It was not until the North men had refused to accept a challenge to engage in a dual pre-scheduled meet that any signs of confidence appeared. A like challenge was then sent to West, a school which always had put out strong teams. West promptly accepted and the Tommy harriers set out to make the best of what seemed to be a bad bargain. They did more than just that, as they walloped West 48 to 7. Severson. Wolfe. Sawyer, Johnson. Penza, H. Kossart. and Horn, led by Captain Couture placed for Edison, proving that the Blue Gold team was much stronger than anyone had dared to think. Prospects were dimmed again when it was definitely known that there were to be no dual meets in the regular schedule as there always had been. Instead there were to be two large meets in which each school ran against three others, while the first twenty places counted instead of the usual ten. A slight variation was made in the course. Even though the team should come through victorious in the first two encounters. they would be forced to run and win a final race with Minneapolis high school teams competing where the entrants were limited to five men from each school, in order to win the city championship, a dream which was beginning to dawn. The Old Fight carried Severson. Wolfe. Penza. Couture, Sawyer. Johnson. Horn. Mlinar, H. Kossart and Dodge through as point makers for Edison in the first two meets. Page 68 Dodge Wolfe Liberkotvski Mr. Miller Sheppard Penza Severson Johnson li. Kossart Couture (Captain) Ostrander Sawyer Mlinar II. Kossart Horn Then the “Champ'' fever took hold of the boys and made them work harder in preparation for the most important meet which they had determined to win. On the big day when Captain Couture, with his leg and a half crossed the finish line in tenth place after Wolfe had clinched third. Severson floundered into sixth. Penza bounced across for eighth, and Johnson had taken ninth, the first crosscountry championship was won for Edison. It was an ideal championship that the boys brought back to the school because it was the result of hard work. The team was one of which any school would have been proud. It was a very well balanced team and won. not by the brilliant work of a few stars, but by the combined efforts of all the individuals. Thinking of the hardships they endured during those endless two and a half miles, the boys only smiled and said. “Well, it was worth it. wasn’t it?” Besides being the first championship that was ever won by an Edison team, it is the first cross-country title that was ever won by an East Side school. George Martin. Page 6Q Edward Couture CROSS-COUNTRY RUNNERS “Couch” was the gamest and most serious Blue Gold harrier, a captain that was worthy to lead a championship team, a sportsman all through. “Grub” put in all he had in every race. He had the distinction of having the prettiest form. It was a joy to watch him run. Willard Wolfe “Wolfus” was never accused of quitting. His ability to stick to the grid made him one who could be counted upon to place well up in front. “Helmie” won the distinction of being the most modest hill and dale runner that competed for the Tommies. He had his ability behind his modesty. Though “Caesar” never ran his apologetic smile or his freckles off. he always pushed himself to the limit so that the Edisonians might win. Martin Severson Helmuth Kossart Julius Dodge Page 7 0 CROSS-COUNTRY RUNNERS 1 Ralph Ostrander Kenneth Horn Overflowing with the “old fight.” Don always could be counted on to boost the Wizard score still higher no matter how close the race. By his consistent picking off points here and there. Ralph always gave to Edison those places that made the margin of victory more serious. “Red'' didn't have any lead in his feet when it came to beating the other fellow. Race or no race, you always could when he was around. “Rennie” will be one of the most feared men on the team next year, if one can judge by the excellent showing he made last year. To good old “Penza.” with his long bounding stride, fell the responsibility of lead off man in which capacity he always sacrificed his personal gain for the team’s benefit.

Christianson 1924 BASKETBALL REVIEW Although the Edison team had a hard basketball season, they can boast of one of the strongest city teams. This was proved by the close scores that resulted from their efforts. No game was lost by more than two points except the opener with East, whom they downed 25 to 18 on the return game. At the opening game of the season. East took a strong, lead which Edison was unable to overcome, and East won 21 to 16. In the game with North. Edison held the lead, but they slipped up when North dropped in a quick series of shots in the last quarter. This game ended 16 to 14 in North's favor. In the West game the battle swayed from one side to the other until the last quarter when West took the lead. Edison scored 8 field goals to West's 6. but West’s accurate free throws gave them the game 21 to 20. The next game Edison took from East 25 to 18. In the second contest with North, Edison lost 25 to 23. The last game of the season with West was the best game of the year. When the final whistle blew, the score was tied 24 to 24. In the extra period of play. West made four points to Edison’s two. This was the most exciting game in the race, being a fast game from beginning to end. The final score was in West’s favor 28 to 26. Frank Koss was honored by being placed on the Journal’s All-City team.

In the second game of the season, which was one of the best games of the year, the South team defeated Edison 1 3 to 1 2. This was the only defeat the frosh suffered during the season. Central was the next victim, succumbing to the Tommies' onslaught after a bitter fight 14 to 1 1. In the last game of the first round Edison defeated Roosevelt 9 to 8. which tied them for first place with South and Central. The second round was easier than the first. East was taken care of by a comfortable margin. Then the deciding tussle with South came. Edison and South, both tied for first place with one defeat each, were to fight it out for first place. The Tommies, however, proved their superiority and emerged with a 1 5 to 1 2 victory. They took a tighter hold on first place by defeating the Red and Blue aggregation 20 to 10. Roosevelt forfeited the last game of the season, thus bringing the second title to the Blue and Gold school. Page 73 • . Nelson R. Hansen B. Newman A. fader A. Forster R. Palmoren M.

Karoxv 1924 HOCKEY REVIEW The hockey team of this year made another brilliant showing. 1 he Blue and Gold pucksters with five victories and three defeats tied for second place with Central, while West won its third straight championship. Three Edison players won places on the All-City teams. “Melly” Gustafson and Hubert Nelson were honored with berths on the first team, while ■Jimmy” Feeney landed a place on the second team. Several hockey authorities agree that Captain Gustafson was the most valuable player in the league, as he could have played any position and starred in it. He was the leading scorer of the league. Hubert Nelson stands head and shoulders above any other net man in the league. Hubert was credited with many sensational stops and was cool under a shower of flying pucks. Fred Fleming played brilliant hockey in the opening games of the season, and his loss was keenly felt when he graduated in January. Other players who played good games are Thies.

Mr. Curran sent out a call for candidates for the fall tennis team. Little enthusiasm was showed, as only eight men reported. Mr. Curran arranged a tournament for the candidates in order to make up the team. Melvin Gustafson. Leland Stark, S. Knutson. Delbur Nordin. and Ted Mueller were chosen as Edison representatives against the other schools. They started the schedule by overwhelming East, but the tables turned in the next match, and Central defeated Edison. North and West were victorious in the next two starts Edison made against them. Filled with determination to make a good average and place well up in the final standings, the Blue-Gold team took South and Roosevelt into camp. Edison made a creditable showing and finished the season in fourth place with an average of .500 per cent. The Edison representatives deserve praise for being able to down the older schools. South and East. Considering that this was only Edison's third season in tennis, a .500 percentage was almost better than could be expected. Although it is too early to determine the strength of the spring 1924 racketeers. three veterans. Gustafson. Knutson. and Nordin. appeared for practice. Two more enthusiasts. Orville Olson and Melvin McLaughlin, joined the squad. Olson, however, although he did not play in the fall was not a new man as he was prominent in tennis in the spring of 1923. but was unable to enter in the fall of 1923.

Earl was manager during the last term of his senior year. He proved to be trustworthy and reliable. Richard Hanson “Dick deserves praise for his efficient work during the last semester of his high school career. Hilgard Nelson “Hoop put new life into our athletics this term and as far as he is concerned. it has been a very successful athletic year.

Harriet Miner has earned her loving cup by taking part in volleyball, hiking, skating, tennis. swimming, and kittenball. She has taken an outstanding part in Edison High athletic activities. Frances Benson has won her 600 points by taking part in volleyball, tennis, skating, hiking. swimming, and kittenball. She has a year left at Edison and hopes to earn 1.000 points before graduation. Lucille McGraw has taken part in all sports, and has been a prominent figure in volleyball and tennis. She has earned 600 points and hopes to win a loving cup before she graduates from Edison. Deborah Carroll has won her honors by participating in all sports. Deborah has a year left at Edison, and if she continues taking an active part in athletics, she will undoubtedly win a loving cup before she graduates. Page 83 SEASON'S REVIEW OF GIRLS' ATHLETICS This athletic season has proved a very successful one. Under the supervision of Miss Millicent Hosmer and due to her earnest efforts. Girls' Athletics have taken a prominent place in school life at Edison. Teams in volleyball, swimming, tennis, track, and baseball have been formed. In the volleyball tournament, the Freshman team kept their slate clean, winning every one of the six games, the championship, and the Record cup. They outplayed their opponents in all points of the game, but much credit must be given to the Freshman captain. Florence Cich. who was the outstanding star of the League. The other three captains. Frances Benson of the Juniors. Alma Olson of the Seniors, and Evelyn Nelson of the Sophomores, all played a high grade of volleyball, and showed good generalship. Although the Sophomores lost every game, they exhibited commendable sportsmanship and in three games were defeated by but one point. The other teams also deserve praise for their teamwork and good spirit. The following girls have won 100 points in volleyball and will be awarded class numerals in recognition of their skill: Seniors: Alma Olson, captain: Erma Olson. Jean McLean. Mary McLean. Elvera Fredin, Mildred Emerson. Elvera Anderson. Harriet Miner. Agnes Haider. Helen Napavanic (50 points). Juniors: Frances Benson, captain: Elizabeth Steinhilper. Anna Steinhilper, Anna Miller. Deborah Carrol. Isabel Sparrow. Dorothy Sweberg. Emma Wiese. Beatrice Johnson (50 points). Sophomores: Evelyn Nelson, captain: Maryon Simmis. Helen Sanderia. Mar- jory Forgy. Ruth Lundin. Mariam Narog. Bernice McGaughey. Irene Christian. Liela Frahn (50 points), Margaret Thies (50 points). Sophie Kook (50 points). Freshmen: Florence Cich. captain: Doris Osgard, Genevieve Suss. Mary Zur- bay, Anna Swanich. Lucille McGraw. Adrienne DeLage. Loretta Grasse. Harriet Christianson. Lucerne Annis. Rose Urista (50 points). Ceclia Sworsky (50 points). Miss Hosmer has introduced two new things into Edison athletics. She chose an all star volleyball team to play a picked team from Roosevelt and held a girls' gymnastic demonstration. Some of the events of the demonstration were marching, playground activities, apparatus work, dancing, relay races, and a volleyball game. The entertainment proved what the girls were capable of accomplishing. JUNIOR HIGH VOLLEYBALL The Junior High G. A. A. girls also displayed much enthusiasm in athletics throughout the entire season. The volleyball championship was won by the 8B's. Mrs. Marjorie DeLancy. the Junior gymnastic instructor, says that she is very proud of the spirit shown by these girls both in practice and in actual games and also in the fact that Edison is the only Junior-Senior High School in the city that had eight competing teams in volleyball.

Small things beyond number, seemingly insignificant yet contributing toward a better school, have been attended to. There are. moreover, matters of major importance which the Student Council has sponsored. The “Edison Revue,“ an entertainment to raise a scholarship fund, was such a matter. Awarding of letters to honor students and the Council’s work for different types of audi Vice-President Secretary- Treasurer toriums have both added to its prestige. It has also taken charge of planting a lawn, thereby enhancing the beauty of Edsion’s High School's external appearance. The Vaudeville was under the Council’s supervision. Then there were the ever-popular Sunlights which were held under the auspices of Student Council. Because the Student Council of 1923-1924 has made a reality of some of the desires for improvement and expression of Edison’s best self, it is worthy of praise. Dwight Swanson. Page 89 J. S. CLUB Grace Troy...............................President Aurora Hill LaVerne Lyberg Irene Tollen Miss Ruth Cole nPHE J. S. Club is an organization A of junior and senior girls who meet for the purpose of discussing plans for the improvement of the school. These plans can be easily carried out because there is such a large number of girls in the school, who co-operate in reaching the aim. a better school. In order to do its work satisfactorily, the club is divided into three departments: Big Sister. Memory, and School Service. The Big Sister department makes the freshmen days easier for the students. Each girl chooses a “little sister” or a “little brother'' from the Vice-President Secretary T reasurer Adviser incoming freshmen and shows him the way about the building. The Memory department writes letters or sends flowers to anyone in the school who is ill. or helps those who have met with some misfortune. T he School Service department performs many duties that create school spirit and loyalty. During the short time the club has been in existence, the Service department has sold school colors, backed the cleanup campaign, served at banquets, and has done many other helpful things for the school.

Not only the girls who were good athletes joined, but also the girls who needed exercise for their health. Miss Hosmer and the girls have tried to make each sport as interesting as possible, for instance in hiking. the girls took long hikes and celebrated at the end of the tramp by a “pow wow. They also had volleyball and baseball tournaments, or games between different classes, and the winning team was honored by a banquet. This spring, tennis and swimming have been the main sports in which upper class girls have been most interested. This season about sixty girls received numerals, seven received letters, and four received loving cups. The membership of the G. A. A. of Edison is about as large as that of any other high school in this city including Freshmen. Sophomores. Juniors. and Seniors.

G. Cook to do so. Mr. W. H. Newhall was chosen faculty adviser, and he has proved a valuable adviser because of his electrical knowledge and his interest in radio. The club’s activities have been taken up entirely with radio, since its organization. Through the donation of a complete set of radio parts by the Otto Rood Hardware Company, an efficient President Vice-President Secretary T reasurer receiving set was constructed. This gave the club its start. Later by winning a large receiving set in a city wide contest of the high schools during the boys’ week parade, the club brought the first city honor to our school. During the past year many interesting lectures dealing with the function, theory, and use of various radio apparatus have been given by the members. I’he last meetings of the club were devoted to the study of radio transmission. Page 92 Peterson Zierman Tyler Kohanik Gullette P Johnson Xiron Davis Shut hammer Mlinar McCulloch Don1 Roffis L.

The result was a Rooters' Club composed of fifty-four lively boys from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. Their main purpose was to be a unified body of rooters to attend every game and cheer the Edison team at the proper time. They have lived up to their standards and have shown much school spirit. This group of boys has been active throughout the whole year. Among their activities they increased the attendance at the games by putting on stunts in the auditorium. These homeroom period auditoriums aroused a great deal of interest and were very successful in creating enthusiasm for the games. The first year of athletics at Edison clearly showed that more organized cheerings at the school athletic contests was imperative to stimulate interest in them. During the football season last year Miss Ruth Cole, director of athletics. realized the necessity of an organized group that would represent Edison at all athletic contests. Through Miss Cole’s efforts and with the aid of the cheer leaders and several other boys, considerable interest among the boys was aroused toward the formation of such a club. A call was issued, and fifty-four lively boys responded, and organized the Rooters’ Club. The members included boys of the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades, and they chose as their main purpose to be a unified body of rooters to attend every game and cheer the Edison team at the proper time. They were to aid to their best ability to stimulate further the interest in athletics and to promote good sportsmanship among the students. With this as their purpose the Student Council speedily granted a charter to them. Throughout the whole year this well-organized group of boys has been active in carrying out their ideals successfully. They have been in a large measure responsible for the excellent brand of sportsmanlike cheerings that has characterized the Edison student body since the formation of the Rooters’ Club. By their peppy auditorium period programs this dub has stimulated interest in the games, and as a result the attendance at games has increased. Intense enthusiasm has been aroused as a result of their activities. They have at all times maintained a high standard of sportsmanship, and have shown hitherto unequaled school spirit.

Newhall and a few of the pupils from his astronomy classes in the spring of 1923 for the purpose of enlarging their knowledge of astronomy. The club meets every Tuesday after school and at each meeting a paper is read on some astronomical subject. Extremely interesting papers have been read on Sirius, Venus. Mercury, the Moon, comets. Nebula. Leo. Hercules, Ursa Major. Ursa Minor. Neptune, the Pleiades, and many others. Two trips have been made to the University Observatory. T he first one was very successful, while the second was only partially so: for. owing to the clouds, only the moon and Venus were visible. There are seven members including Mr. Newhall. the faculty adviser. The officers for 1924 are: Margaret Nord-holm, president: Evelyn Nelson, vice-president: Mary Louise Briggs, secretary. The possibility of having a small telescope of our own is now nearing realization, for it is not beyond the ability of our machine shop. The Monthly Evening Star map is now in our library, and other astronomy books have been requisitioned. While the club has only a few members. the interest in the study of astronomy is slowly and gradually growing. In the fall it is the plan of the club to enlarge its membership and broaden the scope of its program subjects. More trips to the University Observatory are also a part of the fall plans.

The work the members do is also very similar to that done by the first art organization. Their chief purpose is to study and draw cartoons. Cartoons have been made this term for both the “Wizard and the “Edison Record by the members. An interesting feature of the club work is the study of chalk talk. This helps them in their art work and also President Vice-President Secretary Faculty Adviser develops a keen sense of humor. It gives splendid practice in public speaking and quick thinking. In the chalk talks many different phases of school life are taken up—such as sketches on the Music department. Cooking. Sewing. Gymnasium. English, and other departments—enlarging on the humorous side of each. They seem to specialize in character sketches of the Faculty. and some really remarkable drawings have been seen around the building in the form of posters as well as in various cartoons that have somehow slipped up when least expected.

The boys of the club are conscious of the fact that they have four years to live in high school, and they are intelligently accepting the opportunities for personal, mental, moral, and physical development and are attempting to lead their President Vice-President Secretary Trea surer schoolmates into similar aggressive efforts. Each member of the club has begun to realize that the present generation of high school boys has the greatest opportunity for human service in the world's history—a service that is challenging the older boys of secondary schools to work as never before in order to fit themselves to assume positions of vital and helpful leadership in this modern world. The service of these boys constitutes a real challenge, not only because of what they are to be. but also because of their greatest contribution to the solutions of the problems of life.

Some unusually enthusiastic members of the orchestra have organized a string quartette which showed its ability at the June, '24. class play; others formed the band. Mr. Tuttle praises the boys and girls very highly for the way they have responded when called upon to give their services on these occasions. He says, “When spirit of this kind is shown, it behooves the school to back them up to the limit. They have advertised our school as a place where beauty and harmony can be proud, not only in the music they play but in the lives they live.” Page 108 THE JUNIOR ORCHESTRA The Junior Orchestra, under the direction of Miss Sconce, is very industrious. It has had a large growth during the past year, from forty-two to seventy-five members. The orchestra played for “The Fortune Hunter.” “Punk. and “Neighbors.” and for “A Perplexing Situation.” It also played the orchestration for the “Three Musketeers.” The “Poet and Peasant” overture was presented for the first time in Edison, at an Auditorium in April. The orchestra furnishes music for the different clubs of Edison, and there is also a small community orchestra which furnishes music for the district. The proceeds of “The Princess Chrysanthemum” are to be used for music and orchestra instruments. The Juniors deserve much praise for their fine school spirit.

Edison has felt the need of a jazz orchestra to play at the Sunlights and the Class Parties. Finally, the much longed for jazz orchestra was organized. It does all its practicing after school hours, and much praise should be given to all of the members. EDISON REVUE On Friday evening. February 15, 1924. under the efficient management of Miss Ber and Miss Hobbs, the Student Council presented The Edison Revue.’' The participants were all students of Edison. The program represented a variety of school activities. It was an excellent chance for the organizations to make public the work which they had been doing secretly the past year. The Technical society had arranged several novelties with radio, electricity, and chemistry for the program. The Boys’ Senate, which was a new organ- ization at the time, debated on the Bok peace plan. Talented Edisonians also appeared on the program, among whom were George Vina, violinist, who has won a reputation by playing at class parties; Grace Troy, a graduate of the Minneapolis School of Dramatic Arts, and Harriet Miner, who gave readings. Other features of the evening were tumbling and a chalk talk by Lester Petter. The purpose of the program was to raise money for the principal’s contingent fund, which is to be used for needy students and special equipment that is necessary. Page 110 DRAMATIC REVIEW Miss Ruth Hudson has worked hard to give Edison a name in dramatics. Through her efforts and under her direction, the expression classes were able to give several short plays in our auditorium, the proceeds of which went to help the Record and athletic funds. Much praise was given Miss Hudson for the successful direction of the January. 24. class play. The Fortune Hunter. and the June.' 24. class play. Trelawney of the ‘Wells’. Miss Ruth Hudson TRELAWNEY OF THE WELLS’ The play selected for the June. '24. class to present was Trelawney of the ‘Wells’. and Grace Troy and Richard Hanson were chosen for the leads.

Florian Cierzan, Harriet Miner, Paul Johnson, Frank McCulloch. Dorothy Wolski, Elvera Fredin, Carl Olson. Bernice Johnson. Roy Lombard. Hilgard Nelson. and Sylvia Serum. HARMONY CONTEST In the Original Compositions Contest given under the auspices of the Parent-Teacher’s Council by students from the Minneapolis High Schools. April 1, 1924. Norma Anderson from Edison won third place. She played The Coquette and Valse Serieuse. T his is the fourth time Norma has been chosen for the finals, but the first time she was given a prize. We all agree that with the talent she displayed at this contest. Norma has promise of a brilliant future as a pianist. George Johnson received honorable mention.

Into the Valley of Death Dashed the six hunger’d. Juniors to right of them. Teachers to left of them. Freshmen in front of them. Downward they stumbl’d: Stormed at with book and yell, Swiftly they charged and well. Into the jaws of death. Into the mouth of hell, Dashed the six hunger’d. Flash’d all the weapons bare. Flash'd as they turned in air, Slashing at victual here. Charging all hungry, while All the school wondered. Plunged in the steam and smoke Right through the line they broke; Pupils and teachers Reel’d from the elbow-poke. Shattered and sundered. Then they dashed back, but not, Not the six hunger'd!

Page 121 THE FOUR AGES OF HIGH SCHOOL A freshman full of mischief and fun. Thinking himself the only one. Hailing his hat at both taxi and hearse, And taking all things for better or worse. A sophomore more manly than when a freshie he was. And waving his hat for a more justly cause, He even will study if given a chance. For think, he's a sophomore! a year in advance. A junior more stalwart, more manly and brave, Ready to fight for a girl to his grave. His flunks are diminishing his A’s are nearer. His mind is developing, and his studies are clearer. A senior, a man to the end of his life, Ready to work through both struggle and strife. When a freshman, how long those four years did seem. But to a senior they are as short as a dream. Gertrude Atthen. VAMPIRES vs. CAKE-EATERS It came to pass in the year nineteen hundred twenty-four, that a vampire began her attacks on the students of the Edison High School. The school offered a great reception to her wiles, and it soon came to pass that a multitude of these sirens rose from out of the school’s sea of humanity. They said: “Let no man pass from under our power.” And it was so. It came to pass that all men were soon bewildered. In the morning and in the evening of all the days thereafter men were Fools. The Vampires set upon the Fools with such force that they wooeth the lockers in the halls, when the Vampires disappeared, leaving them in their frenzy. Odd things came to pass thereafter in the halls, in the rooms, and in the places thereabout. Lured on by the sirens’ ever-moving eyes, they followed blindly until some obstacle obstructed their stampede for these “almond-eyed beauties.” Then the gods, seeing this plague sweeping over the defenseless Fools, and creating much disaster among them, made an image liken unto the Fool. The Gods looked upon their work and saw that it was good, and were greatly pleased. Then they sent this image unto the Fools. It came to pass in the Edison High, that this image was to champion their cause and free the Fools from their plight. After the image had descended into their midst, the Fools asked of him his name, and he gave answer: “My name is Cake-eater. I come from the Land of the Cakes.” Then the Fools asked him how he was to help them. He made reply, “I love the Vampires. I know their ways. I shall take your place, and with my troop of Cake-eaters will subject myself to their caresses.” Great rejoicing took place among the multitude of Fools and they fell upon the ground, and gave thanks unto the gods for their deliverance. Page 122 And it came to pass later that a great band of “oily-haired, slick-tongued Cake-eaters gamboled merrily through the ranks of the Vampires, bewildering them so much they had no time for the Fools. Great was the Fools’ rejoicing at this big success. But. lo! all this was too much for the Vampires, and they lamented greatly. and begged the gods for mercy. The gods took mercy on the Vampires and gave them more freedom. And lo! there was much rejoicing among the Vampires, and they celebrated by attacking the Fools again. Some Fools were caught, and were converted and are now Cake-eaters. Beware of their talents or Cake-eaters you will be. The gods have mercy on the Fools! Walter Anderson.

Page 12) THE SICKNESS AKIN TO GUM-CHEWITIS “Ah, Doctor Knifewielder, I have discovered the symptoms and consequences of the disease of which there is such a great epidemic.” said Dr. Pill-twister. “What might this disease be?” asked Dr. Knifewielder in a surprised voice. “Can it be that you are ignorant of the fact that among us there is a new disease that is more contagious than Gum-Chewitis? Well, well. I am surprised at your ignorance, Dr. Knifewielder. The disease of which I spoke is Bobbed-Hairitis. It is common among women, but it does not affect men. The symptoms which precede it are, eyes that wander to every woman’s head, for it is a disease of the head, a mind that always wonders how this or that person would look with bobbed hair, and lastly an intense and deep set desire to have one’s hair . bobbed. The period of convalescence from this disease is very long, and some of the victims suffer relapse during which they have their hair re-bobbed. Many people die during the period of convalescence, but I have not as yet discovered if Bobbed-Hairitis is the cause of their Death. Mark Jurek.

Page 124 Buttles From tte Pot The Wizard’s Pot has revealed to me the reason why the Student Council now holds open meetings (so that the students can have a good laugh once a week). The following is an account of one of the closed meetings: STUDE (NT) COUNCIL IN ACTION JOHN K. (President) : The secre- tary will now read the min—what's that? Have ’em next time.

Teddums dear, did you get that bar of soap you have been working to get? Ted L.: Ho! Hum! I didn’t have any time. It was rather late when I started. PRESIDENT (tearing hair): Well, I’ll be hanged! I told you to get that soap to keep in the auditorium to apply to speakers when they make a mistake in grammar. TED (quickly): I move a motion that we let that go until next term when there won’t be any danger of my getting soaped. CHORUS: I second that! President: We will NOT vote on that.

RED DIAMOND LUMBER CO. “Home of Zipp Service’’ Lumber—Roofing—Millwork Central Ave. and 12th NLY the printer can appreciate at their true value the long and patient hours of labor that the staff members have given to the compilation of this book. This is true because from the time the first copy is prepared until the last book leaves the bindery the printer must of necessity be the editors’ right hand man in formulating the thousand and one details that make an annual a creditable piece of craftsmanship. Responsibility falls also upon his shoulder for artistry in selection of type and arrangement, the elimination of errors and the coordination of a vast amount of material and labor so that the book shall appear, finished and flawless upon the date selected by the editors. It is a credit to Edison High School that a staff of comparatively inexperienced editors and managers should succeed in producing such a notable example of book publishing. The work of the 1924 staff deserves much commendation. It is with pride that this Company has aided in the work, has given of the interest and experience of the members of its force to the Wizard staff. We are proud of this example of our printing and binding. Harrison . Smith Company Good Printers Since 1871 Roach-Tisdale good candy can he bought in the lunch room.

Never did get my good shape back.” 2. “Don’t tell anybody but every time Turgeon goes to a party or a “Feed” he reads a couple of my pages. Last time he forgot to use his spoon with the soup (maybe nature’s way is best after all) 3. Girl: “Johnny isn't half bad.

Could you meet me after school and I'll walk home with you. Affectionately yours. Billy. 5. Senior (cough) : I’m the per- son that takes the leading place in “Folks Around School.” Everybody copies everything I do. my style of talkinn, my chic make up—in general I'm it. 6.

What teacher has beautiful eyes, a bewitching smile, and a charming manner? Ans.: Good guess for one so in- experienced. 3. Who is “the Prince Charming of Edison?
