The 19 3 2 Wizard RUTH 1-ITCH COLE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL HOW arc you measuring time? Second by second, hour by hour, year by year, you check off the moments by good or unworthy acts, by gain or loss, by noble or ignoble thoughts. Your every thought, your every act unite to make a whole which is you. Each minute you are making character. If you have a kind word and a friendly smile, if you work earnestly, serve honorably, have faith: if each day you are better, braver, nobler—building more stately mansions—you will have true friends, real happiness, and the satisfaction of work well done.

The Wizard 1..........9.........3..........2 I.OUIS G COOK PRINCIPAL THE footsteps of Father Time always point forward. He cannot go back: but we may retrace his path and possibly Indian-like read the trail, and if we know our signs, in some measure we should be able to predict the direction and possibly the end of the journey. Edison is ten years old. What have we accomplished, and what have we to look forward to? This annix’ersary really marks an epoch in our development. We are to be no longer a junior-senior school. Next year the new Sheridan will take our seventh grade, and in two years we shall probably be a four-year high school. Besides, through the new organization of the student council we have grown in a realization of what democracy in a school might mean. These signs are plainly read in our trail, and 1 feel that they point toward a steady growth in understanding for the future. The high standards of behavior demanded by a group living together in one building like Edison teach us how to live after we leave Edison. 'I his is the supreme test of a school: Does it teach its pupils how to live and hold the standards necessary for success in our modern world? This is the challenge. I believe we arc ready to meet it.
