DEDICATION FROM twenty-three different nations people have come to our district. The enterprising spirit and the initiative of these people have built for us a community to be proud of. The children of these twenty-three nationalities have been brought together at Edison High School, and from this common interest has been derived the equality of nationalities and the sympathetic understanding of one another that is so prevalent among Edisonians. The co-operation among students has made Edison’s policies and ideals veritable examples of America's motto: ”E pluribus unum. To some it might occur that an institution representing so wide a range of nationalities, each with its characteristics, would present a discordant picture: but. on the contrary. Edison has blended into true harmony people of essentially different characteristics and view points. This harmony is a result of cooperation and real effort on the part of the student body and the intricate blending of personalities by the interested and appreciative leadership of the faculty. This harmony is never a finished thing of the past, never a mark attained and passed, but a mark, like so many of the finer things in life, to be attained but harder still to be maintained. It is not our purpose to look backward in any effort to disintegrate the unity of our school to discover the separate sources of our finished picture but to look forward, aspiring only to preserve the harmony and unified spirit among Edisonians. which translated to more familiar language is the spirit of charity 3nd understanding. Out of the materials that Northeast Minneapolis offered. Edison High School has made a happy community by joining the youth of Edison’s daily life. To Edison High School, that is to the spirit imbued in the school by the divers yet unified nationalities which have met here, we dedicate this 1933 WIZARD.
