ERMA E. TODD VISITING TEACHER TJ’DISON students arc very appreciative of the fact that they have a department in the school which is dedicated to the personal problems of the students. Pupils who have difficulties of various natures in school or who have personal problems which require correction find a ready and able counselor in our visiting teacher. Miss Todd. She tries, by seeking the basic cause of a student's difficulty to plan a solution which will adequately aid the student in his problem. The pleasant atmosphere of Miss Todd's office, her pleasing personality, her interest and understanding assure one that there is willing aid to be given if one will but present his problem. Appropriations by the Student Council maintain the philanthropic aspects of this work. In addition to her work at Edison, Miss Todd makes visits for the Boys' Vocational, Girls’ Vocational, Pillsbury, Prescott, and Whitney schools. C16D

L () U I s c;. C () () K PRINCIPAL THK great ship Edison approaches the last landing field on this year’s run. Let us - ■ check our instruments, calculate our position, and determine progress. We open the ship’s log and find a long record of achievements. 1. The ship carries a full load of 2400 people. 2. We disembark, this year, 502—each supplied with a first-class certificate. 3. We have specially honored 81 in the National Honor Society. 4. The crew numbers 88. 5. She carries a new high record in athletics, topped by a championship basketball team. 6. The ship is now rated as a first-class four-year senior high school. 7. She is equipped with a complete R. C. A. public address and sound system paid for in full. These are a few of the red letter pages that open easily. So, we nose down, close the book, thank our splendid and faithful crew and many friends, roll into the hangar for the summer overhaul, that we may have new strength and courage for a fresh start next September.

R U T H F I T C H COLE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL 7 N assistant principulship is a much more important position than we sometimes realize. The person who (ills an office of this kind must have a great deal of patience, pcrscvcrcnce, efficiency, and understanding. In our assistant principal, Miss Cole, we have a person with such qualities. She has so well taken the responsibilities that have been hers that she has ever held the respect and high esteem of Edison students and faculty members. Among Miss Cole’s various duties are several of which we arc often unaware. She aids generally in the regulation of the school, checks absentees, and plans each semester a satisfactory program for each student. Miss Cole has always been an interested, real friend and counselor to the students, and we appreciate the efforts she has made to improve, aid, and benefit our school. The informal picture of Miss Cole given above is one not unfamiliar to Edison students, all of whom have come into contact with her at some time. It is a pleasant reminder of the genial atmosphere of her office. cm
