Not only did our school receive a coat of paint—its first—which has thus far withstood the wear and tear of time, but just recently new lockers were added to accommodate the growing needs of Edison. The capacity of the lunchroom was greatly increased by the addition of extra tables and stools. Edison widened its scope by adding to its curriculum two new subjects: auto mechanics under the instruction of Mr. O. Anderson, and German taught by Miss Ber. Consequently, as other language groups have done previously, the German department organized a club with Miss Ber as its adviser.

The 19 3 2 Wizard MISS BALLOU MISS HOLKESVIG MR JANES MISS SEAMAN To compete with the boys' Q. E. D. a girls' debating club was organized the following year under the name of W. H. B. In keeping with the fact that the school annual is named for the Wizard’’ of all sciences. Thomas Alva Edison, the seniors of the year 1927 dedicated their Wizard to Mr. Edison. It contained a synopsis of his life and inventions together with several pictures of him. Most cherished of all in the annual is a letter from Mr. Edison with a facsimile of his own signature. In the following school year every room in Edison High was given a framed picture of Mr. Edison. Under each picture there is a quotation which bears on the subject taught in that room. These pictures are a constant reminder of the ideals of the great man for whom our school is named. nln the late spring of 1930 plans for an Edison athletic field were being made: and during the summer these plans were materializing. When the fall term opened, the students were greeted with a field that showed prospects of becoming all that a loyal Edisonian could desire. Many of the students gave their locker refund for a fence which is to be built about the playing field. mi;s Dodge MISS ROBERTSON MR AHLSTROM MISS BURKE MISS HICKOK MISS CASE Mr. parkins I 24 ] MISS DOOR MR.

INGEBRETSON MISS JENNINGS MISS I ARSEN MR. LlFMOHN MISS TORNET In this, our tenth year, we can realize the growth of our school. Edison High is crowded to overflowing. More lockers have been brought in to meet our demands. Two thousand eight hundred students hurry through the halls to their class. Capable hall guards help greatly in regulating traffic. There are more students than seats in our class rooms. Teachers can no longer use their rooms during their free periods. We are. one might say. feeling the growing pains. During this year the Student Council has been reorganized. The new method of organization brings the students and the Council into closer contact. The Council can better learn the needs of the classes, and the classes can know the value of the Council s activities in the school. A new Ushers’ Club, open to tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade boys, has been organized to usher at school entertainments. Thus far the club has given commendable service.
