F O REWORD ITH Mr. Edison’s acquiescence in our plans for the 1927 Wizard, we found the task of presenting the events of the past school year more pleasant. It has been an inspiration to study about Mr. Edison and as we have worked along we have become more and more glad that our school was named for this fine man. We have derived much enjoyment from our work, and the experience has been of great value to us although our product does not come up to our ideals. For the courtesy of permitting us to use pictures of Mr. Edison we wish to thank the Thomas Y. Crowell Co., publishers of Thomas Alva Edison, by Francis A. Jones, Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., publishers of Edison, the Man and His Work, by George S. Bryan, and Underwood and Underwood. Six
