CLASSES And under every shield a knight was named: When some good knight had done one noble deed, His arms were carven only; but if twain His arms were blazon'd also: but if none, The shield was blank and bare without a sign Saving the name beneath. There are among us names on blazoned shields, names on carven shields, and names on bare shields, but every name bears the stamp of an education which will raise him mentally above the monotonous and the sordid and teach him the joy of self-acquired happiness. 26

TAG DAY TAG DAY occurs on the day baseball season opens for Edison. As one arrives at the building in the morning he is met by cries of Buy a tag.'' Come on! buy a tag.’’ From tables placed in the first floor corridors blue and gold tags arc sold to all comers. The arrangements for the sale are in charge of Miss Ruth Cole, faculty manager of athletics. The salesmen are divided into teams, each having a captain. Prizes are usually offered to the team and the individual who sells the most tags. The money from the sale of tags is used to purchase equipment for the spring athletic teams. WIZARD DAY PERHAPS the most longed-for day in the school year is Wizard Day. which occurs the first week in June and marks the distribution of the Wizard, the school annual. To the staff, the day is one of pride in accomplishment, for at last the result of many weeks of planning, revising, after days of anxious waiting, is a tangible thing, a thing to be seen, to be felt. To them it seems incredible that 25 out of the chaos of paper, cardboard, pictures. glue, proofs could evolve this book which they feel. see. and admire. To the school at large the day means a partial vacation after a short period of lessons. A special auditorium is held by the Wizard Staff immediately after the lunch hour. During the program the Editor of the Wizard presents to the president of the A Juniors a pen which symbolizes the passing on of the responsibility for the publication of an annual at Edison. After the auditorium the Wizard is distributed among the students. Then follows a rush to get autographs. The corridors are filled with laughing students in search of the signatures of their friends, classmates and teachers. Cries of Have I your signature, Just a minute.” Did you sign mine?” mingle with the strains of music from the gymnasium where an all-school Sunlight ends the day. Thus, with eight events made traditions. Edison emerges from its infancy with pride in what has been achieved, but with the hope that the future students will not only preserve these traditions but will, with real initiative, establish new ones which will grow out of their student life.
