WINTER COMES TO RIDE THE VARIED YEAR THOMPSON Foreword All through the centuries jewels have been possessions denoting great value. They are symbolic of the old luxuries we accepted so readily and of the new ideals toward which we will turn. Our association with students and faculty will develop friendships that are like precious gems to adorn us through life. Our school activities are like sparkling stones that will shine forever. These memories should be well guarded that they may not be lost nor become tarnished. The staff of the 1945 Wizard has chosen Jewels as its theme. Paq« 2 WHAT LIES BEYOND?

TUPPER Dedication The 1945 graduating classes of Edison High School dedicate the twenty-first edition of the Wizard to Ruth Tupper. With genuine understanding she has guided many of us through the works of Shakespeare. With her quiet efficient ways and her willingness to help with even our smallest problems, she has endeared herself to the members of the 1945 classes.

The sympathy for any in distress. The understanding words that help to heal The wounds of failure actual or unreal; And when we pause in all the rush and stress To laugh at some gay jest or to express Our interest in another's woe or weal; When courtesy and kindness we respect, When honesty and wisdom we revere. When we stand firmly for what’s just and good A true memorial we then erect To honor Mr. Cook with praise sincere, For those are the fine things for which he stood. Ruth F. Tupper. Pago 7 On May 8. in the spirit of thanksgiving, intercession, and dedication, people of many nations paused in their work to pay homage to those who have given their lives so that peace again might reign. Churches all over the allied world held services in order to comemmorate this great day. Here at Edison the entire school gathered in the auditorium to add their thanks. We, of the senior class, will never forget the spirit of reverence that marked this day.

All subjects and teachers unite to develop our priceless education. Each subject has as much to do with the forming of our life as pearls do with the forming of a necklace. These pearls that come from the depths of the sea resemble the depth of intellect and understanding of our teachers. Pearls seem to require a touch of life to keep them brilliant as our student body requires the knowledge of its faculty to make it intellectually strong. OUR PRINCIPAL Showing As my first year at Edison draws to a close, I wish to express my ap preciation to all of you. I pay tribute to the ideals and the high standards of the previous administration, the excellent faculty, and the fine student body which through the years have given Edison the enviable reputation which it enjoys. In the graduating classes of this year I will always have a special interest. To each one I e-itend a farewell, and a hearty wish for success through service to others. C. E. Reichard. You go forth into a troubled world; yet never in history was there a greater opportunity for service to mankind. There is a challenge to show the way for racial tolerance and equality regardless of color or creed. May each one of you with God's help accept this challenge to serve humanity unselfishly. Eddis E. Janes. Patjo 12 OUR ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL SCHOOL COUNSELLOR Arta Kockon. The Way To assist pupils in making the difficult decision of selecting subjects is the job of Miss Arta Kocken. She interviews each student and offers helpful advice. Successful launching of careers has been the result of her timely suggestions. The clerks see to it that the periods are on schedule, appointments are kept, and absentees are checked. To Mrs. Aim, the chief clerk, falls the general supervision of the office, and the making of appointments with the principal. OFFICE CLERKS Ruth Lebowlta, Doria Braun, Lorraine Dahl. CHIEF CLERK Nellie Aim. VISITING TEACHER NURSE Erma Todd. Florence Johnson. Miss Erma Todd, our smiling, friendly, visiting teacher, helps pupils who have difficulties of various natures or personal problems requiring advice. Miss Florence Johnson, the school nurse, examines students who become sick during school hours. If necessary she excuses them from school. She also approves the admittance of students who have been absent because of illness. Pago 13 ENGLISH Adelaide Bor. Verna Olsen. Mlldron Ward. Florence Finch, Dorothy Wallace. Anne Kellner.

Youth Pursues Mathematics is the science of perfection, the language of inventors and mechanics, business men and architects. We recall our advance through algebra, geometry, and the higher studies—developing the mind as well as teaching us this ancient and fundamental art: the art of finding what one wants with the knowledge that is at hand. The library is playing a large part in the training of modern minds, for, with almost no exception, all types of reference books are found here. LIBRARY Lola Larson Page 1G Knowledge Just as an airplane moves cn to new frontiers, so also dees science. This wor!d in which we live is filled with the results of scientific research. The thoughts and ideas which will later find fruition in successful realities are formulated in our science department. A library is a potential storehouse of knowledge and entertainment. Our librarians at Edison endeavor to acquaint students with needed information on how to partake of the reading pleasures. SCIENCE Homer Filo. loll-'iuon Benner, Lswio Banetl. Sclmer Drago.

Wheels of Business TYPE Commercial teachers at Edison High capably instruct pupils in acquiring superior stenographic skill, which is a combination of shorthand, typing, and transcribing. Business students also obtain a clear understanding of business customs and procedures. Besides these two assets one also develops such traits as dependability, courtesy, initiative, judgment, loyalty, resourcefulness, and, most important of all, adaptability and common sense. Because of the development of these traits of character, our commercial department has rendered to the world a great service which is priceless. Page 18 Knowing Democracy What memory is to each man. history is to the human race. It explains what we are doing, why we are doing it. and how we came to do it. History makes our life more interesting by the meaning it gives to the books we read, the cities and art we see, the music we hear. It enables us to understand ourselves by making us better acquainted with other peoples. History is the whole story of man's life. It points out his failures along with his successes, thereby encouraging improvement. HISTORY Victor Erickson. Stella Ballou. Marjorio Simmons, Eva Peterson, Grace Ttllotsan.

At Work Cooking and sewing are the heritage of womankind. These accomplishments help to form and build the most important part of American life the family. Miss Lee, as head of our school cafeteria, manages to provide a variety of food for the students. Her practical nature equips her to supervise efficiently the preparation of our meals. Credit for the cleanliness of Edison High is due entirely to the work of our janitors. Their tireless efforts often go unappreciated, but our school could not function without them.

The friendly competition present in our gym classes encourages good sportsmanship. The purpose of music and art is two-fold: First, that those who wish to make these courses their profession may obtain a thorough foundation in all phases of these subjects, and also that those who wish may derive some of the pleasures and spiritual satisfaction that these arts offer.

It Has been symbolic of graduation for many years and is like a cherished romomh raince of the days we spent among faculty and friends. Four years filled with study and sociability will become but a memory too quickly. After twelve years of education we are now ready, and we assume responsibility in a I air eg or world; for wo aro now educated men and women of the world. The January Class Of 1945 The Brighter Side Commencement on January 25. brought to an end our high school days. Our speakers. Bernita Olson. Richard Johnson. Joan FitzGerald, and Carol Vogel, discussed Men of Destiny : Winston Churchill. Josef Stalin. Franklin D. Roosevelt. and Chiang Kai-shek. Mr. Reichard. our principal, presented awards; and Mr. Bank, assistant superintendent of schools, presented the diplomas. Instrumental solos and a vocal ensemble lent variety to the program. And so, with many pleasant memories, we, the January class of 1945, bid farewell to Edison. We wish to convey our sincere thanks to Mr. Hamrin, Mrs. L. Olsen, Mr. Sanders, and Mrs. Curry for all the splendid help and guidance they have given us.

And Higher-Ups We've come a long way together, we, the June class of 1945. As seniors our class activities took the lead, and we proceeded to the important business of electing officers. Thomas Mahoney was chosen as our president; Joseph Warrick, vice-president; Ann Malthouse, secretary; and Rita Archambault, treasurer. One of our big activities was our class party, the theme of which was Cotton Cut-Ups. We reached our highest peak of social success at our senior banquet, on June 7, which climaxed our four years at Edison. The theme of the banquet was well carried out, and the Class Prophecy and the community singing added the final touch to our festivities. And now as we, the June Class of 1945, leave these four glorious years at Edison behind us, we wish to express our sincere appreciation to our advisers. Miss Tupper and Mr. Pile; to their assistants, Mr. Buckman and Mr. Lunkley; and to our social adviser, Mrs. Pohlson, for their helpful advice and guidance.

LEADERS The class is designed for girls who show ability in leadership. New members must have the approval of both gym teachers, and are distinguished by wearing scarves. One-fourth of a credit is gained eabh semester. The duties of a leader are numerous: she acts as a captain during her gym class, as well as being assistant teacher in after school activities; she takes care of the equipment; referees; and learns to draw up and run off tournaments. Jobs in the recreational field have often been the reward to those girls who have been in leadership class. BOARD OF G. A. A. The Board of Athletic Control is made up of able leaders who have the initiative to originate new activities. Arranging the annual spring banquets and taking charge of all the sports and parties are among their accomplishments during the season. Pago 107 Nimble BADMINTON Stllltnqs, DoJarlals. Olson. Pappaa.
