The 19 3 2 Wizard MIS KOCKEN MISS TODO School Counselor Miss Kocken came to Edison in 1924 to teach Community Life Problems. She continued this work until September. 1927, when she became School Counselor. Through this work Miss Kocken individually aids every Edison student to decide, further, and accomplish his life work. Not only this, but Miss Kocken personally gives advice as to the high school subjects most useful for one's future occupation. In a sense she is furthering the advance of civilization. good government, and honest citizenship. Visiting Teacher Every pathway is partly obstructed; so every school has its individual problems to clear away. In Edison High. Miss Todd has undertaken the work of smoothing out our troubles.

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 19 3 2 Wizard MRS RENDERNICK MISS TOWNSEND Librarian Almost every high school subject requires reference work from the library. Such a great number of varied subjects necessitates a large number of books. Mrs. Rendernick has for four years taken charge of the Edison library, and has been assisted during the last three years by Miss Chandonnet. The library is open every period of the day during the working semester. The library runs smoothly and efficiently because of the cooperation of the students and the librarians.
