RUTH F. COLE “O-MORROW: What will it bring? What joy or what sorrow? What shame of defeat or nride of accomolishmcnt? I n f ( it f • i nr 11 1 0% v r j ri . A shame of defeat or pride of accomplishment? ln the future each will experience undreamed-of changes. Yet every to-morrow will have had its yesterday. For it is to-day that makes to-morrow. To-day we sow that which we will later reap. To-day's seeds of hard work, faithful service, unselfishness, and loving kindness will blossom gloriously and abundantly on the morrow. We must then be up and working in the garden of to-day. Yesterday is gone: to-morrow will never come: but to-day is here. May you make it glorious! • 19 •

LOUIS G. COOK THE 1934 WIZARD looks into the crystal ball and there attempts to see To-morrow. Is it a To-morrow of freedom or a To-morrow of ordered thought and action? If our thinking is to be controlled for us. schools will change into palaces for propaganda and machines to turn out standardized citizens; and democracy in our country will be dead. If it is to be a To-morrow of real freedom, then we must teach less of subject matter and more of the joy of real independent thinking. We have purchased our freedom here at a great price and must not sell it for a “mess of pottage.” I look for a great struggle to maintain our right to think and speak independently. and this battle must be led by you of Edison who read these pages. Do not be misled by false prophets from Yesterday who would have you return to the orthodoxy of the past, but follow the leaders of true democracy and freedom who look toward the new day of To-morrow.

Edison, at the beginning of the spring term, realized one of its great ambitions and became a four-year high school instead of being a junior-senior high school. The last 8A class entered the ninth grade and the other junior-high pupils now attended Sheridan Junior High or elementary schools with seventh and eighth grades. Because special workers are not permitted in senior high schools, it was necessary to transfer the visiting teacher and the nurse. Miss Erma Todd, who had been visiting teacher at Edison since the school first opened in 1922, went to Jefferson Junior High. Edison's nurse. Miss Townsend, took over her work at the Lowry. Cavell. and Cary schools. • 1 0 • Miss Door Mr. Dr Age Miss Dunn Miss Erb Mr. Curran Mrs. Cur remiss Donovan English Science English Social Science Social Science Social Science Social Science
