It! THE WIZARD 1947 PRO ALIIS VOLUME TWENTY-THREE Page I PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF EDISON HIGH SCHOOL MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA THE SCHOOL—an agent of democracy Foreword One year, two years, ten, twenty, and twenty-five years! We, at the end of the twenty-fifth year of our school, can look back and readily see our progress. Science progresses, government progresses, the arts progress, and education progresses. In the past quarter-century. Edison High School has taken many forward steps. Perhaps at first they were faltering, as a baby’s, but as time has slipped by, they have become firm and solid. Improvement is inevitable to humanity. Where there are democratic people, there will be growth in democratic practices. In some cases, it is so slow that it is almost imperceptible, and sometimes it is breath-taking in its speed. Many students have graduated from Edison. Because they have learned and practiced the principles of democracy which are taught here, they have become better citizens. They have not yet reached the ultimate in their potentialities, but they are advancing, step by step. In recognition of this silver anniversary, the Wizard staff of 1947 has chosen as its theme: twenty-five years of progressive democracy.

Dedication Service to fellow man is the highest and noblest of human undertakings, and giving a large part of one's life in such service is as great and unselfish a thing as can be done. The men and women pictured above, smiling, unassuming disciples of education. have given a major part of their time and effort to invest their wisdom and knowledge in the growing generation we represent. With sincerity they have given this training, knowing that a happy and peaceful tomorrow can be built only through firm schooling in sound principles. Beside instructing us, they, as our friends, have advised us in our many difficulties and problems. Our troubles large and small, have been their interest and concern. Theirs has been a dual role of counselor and teacher. Ever willing to help, they are beloved and revered by all of us. It is. therefore, with gratitude and appreciation, that the graduating class of 1947 dedicates this their yearbook, to all those who were on the staff of Edison High school when the building opened in 1922. Pago i MISS VESTA SEAMAN Jtt 4H?sttoriam Vesta Seaman went the furthest step in a profession which must in itself be a dedication of purpose and of life to a degree varying with the individual. She was a missionary among missionaries. Miss Seaman, however, did not lose her sense of humor but brought a cheeriness and joy to her work which in turn developed a courage tinged with humor in those she taught. One came away from her friendship warmed for any coldness he must face in the outer world. Her own life worked at thawing out the Icebergs of indifference to suffering and unhappiness which float in the seas of our existence. Her life has blended itself into the warm currents and renews itself with the seasons through those she befriended. Peter Mankowskl.

They are the ones who guide us through the formative years of the high school period. They instill in us the principles of democracy; they prepare us for the problems which will confront us, and show us the way to informed citizenship. We could not accomplish these things by ourselves, or just by the use of books; we need the experienced guidance of our teachers. Our welfare and progress are their concern. So imbued are they with a belief in Edison and what it may do in the coming years that they have given us a glimpse of their hopes, as if tomorrow were about to fall in step with today. Mr. Clifford Reichard, principal, says, The average education in this country has risen to an all time high. Among draftees of World War I it was sixth grade. In World War II it was tenth grade. The high school is now 'a must.’ Edison's future is the future of every American high school. Does anyone doubt that its future is bright? Miss Erma Todd, our smiling visiting teacher, thinks, If family groups in this district continue their loyalty to Edison, the promise for the future is beyond prediction. Kenneth Knox. Arta Kockon. Miss Arta Kocken, one of our helpful counselors, thinks that Edison's progress as a school will depend on the general average of the scholarship of Edison students. Mr. Kenneth Knox, also our counselor, believes that Edison is a community center to which her former sons and daughters come back to give their talents. Page 10 Mr. Eddis Janes, assistant principal, tells us. Just as it takes time to develop character in an individual, so it takes years to develop the traditions and philosophies of a school. Just as students of all nationalities live and work together in harmony at Edison so can the people of all nations work together for a united nation that will bring everlasting peace to the world. EDDIS JANES Aliis Lorraino Dahl, Nellie Aim, Ethel Heller, Ruth Lebowita, Dorla Braun. A course in typing should be required for all high school graduates,” says Miss Doris Braun, Mr. Janes' secretary. while success in everything undertaken at the school is the wish of Miss Lorraine Dahl. Mrs. Nellie Aim exclaims, Long live our 'Esprit de Corps'! Our attendance clerk, Miss Ruth Lebowits, thinks the progress of Edison has been remarkable, both in scholastic achievement and in athletics. Our requisition clerk. Miss Ethel Heller, being new to the school, has grown to like the school spirit and school very much. Miss Florence Johnson, our nurse, would like to see a campaign for better health habits among our students at Edison. Pago 11 Mrs. Olive Reilly, English teacher, says the energetic, wholesome, and sincere attitude of the students will make Edison's future bright. The future progress of Edison and its students will depend chiefly on the personal record and actual worth of the students attending and graduating from this school, is the personal opinion of Miss Esther Larson. Miss Grace Garland thinks that the financial support the Minneapolis people will be willing to give their schools is important. Miss Margaret Christianson says, The future can be judged only by thp past. Olive Reilly, Esther Larson. Grace Garland. Margaret Christianson Pathway to SHAKESPEARE CLASS Mrs. Leila Rendernick, our librarian. dreams of smaller classes and better equipment. Miss Jennie Medure, assistant librarian, has been here for only one term, but she wishes future success to the school in all of its undertakings. lonnte Meduro Leila Rendernick Pago 12 ■ I.IV Miss Dorothy Wallace, English department, states Edison's lu-ture depends on each student's pride toward his school and his service to the school. ' The future of Edison and its students, lies in the serious consideration of the present moment, is Miss Sophie Albinson's feeling. Miss Ruth Tupper hopes that in the future Edison may attain the goals set by the school when it was very young. Miss Birdella Ross sees a bright future augmented by the fine graduates of the school. Miss Agnes Bolin thinks, An improved sense of re sponsibility toward learning and a worthier use of time will make Edison a better organization in the future.

Mrs. Verna Olsen says, Edison has bright and reassuring prospects, because the cultural level of the entire district has risen and will con tinue to. Miss Frances Cowan, head of the English department, firmly believes that Edison will bring understanding and happiness to the whole world by sending out its rays of enlightenment, tolerance, and leadership. Miss Florence Fisch, English teacher, believes Edison will continue to epitomize the growth and well-being of Minneapolis. Edison will continue to serve the young people of the community during the coming years, is the opinion of Miss Anna Dunn. Mr. Peter Mankowski considers that the progress of Edison will be measured by scientific tests which show improvement in skills and attitude.

Mrs. Grace Tillotson believes Edison has a bright future because, such a large percentage of the pupils come from stable, normal homes. Miss Agnes Deverell urges educational opportunities for students so that they will be better prepared to take their responsibilities in a democratic world. Page 14 AMERICAN HISTORY CLASS I Mar lot I Simmons, N lUo Erb, Joanotte Henderson, Eva Potarson, Ralph Ahlstrom. Past and Present Miss Marjorie Simmons says, Good sportsmanship, high scholastic standing attained by honest work, and a democratic feeling will make the Tommies tops. Better lights and equipment will change Edison on the surface, but it will still be that Edison of the past which is so sound, states Miss Nellie Erb. Miss Jeanette Henderson sees A world of peace and order in the future of Edison students. Miss Eva Peterson says, Edison will move forward in the spirit of friendliness and understanding to meet the challenge of the new day. That Edison students will strive to develop an understanding of the complex world we are living in, is the hope of Mr. Ralph Ahlstrom. MODERN PROBLEMS CLASS Pag IS Standing: Celia Tomey, Mary Agnes Reeves, Genovieve Holkesvig. George Bruning. Beniamin Liemohn. Seated: Louise Olson. Exploring the Miss Celia Tomey wants our school to reflect the personal contribution of each individual.'' As Mrs. Mary Agnes Reeves had been at Edison for only one term, she preferred not to express an opinion about the future. Miss Genevieve Holkesvig says, the future of Edison students should be a brilliant and socially useful one. Mr. George Bruning hopes the student body may become aware and jealously guard their wholesome school spirit. Mr. Benjamin Liemohn thinks the interior of the building could be brightened up. Mrs. Louise Olson hopes for a junior-senior high organization in the future. Page ll TRIGONOMETRY CLASS Lewis Barren, Homer Pile, Ethol Pohlaon. Mary Harroun. Selmor Draqe.

Edison will change as all human institutions must, says Mr. Christopher Hamrin. Christopher Hamrin BOOKKEEPING CLASS TYPING CLASS Page 21 The progress of a school is determined, in the largest part, by the students themselves. Their activities are the activities of the school; their life, the school's. Their efforts have been directed towards the achievement of better health, inter-racial relations, and international understanding —the most important factors in the approach to world peace. Their laughter brightens the days as they pass; even now we hear the echo of that laughter in the corridors of our memories. As each day passes, new levels are reached, new heights of living and practical knowledge, vital to the progress of our school. NATIONAL Moving Forward On January 30, we crossed the arch from childhood to adulthood, the bridge of graduation from high school. Now that we have reached this end, we realize that the pleasure lay in driving toward it and not in crossing it. Our commencement program consisted of discussions on education in Europe, in the United States, and in Asia by Eva Venske, valedictorian; Robert Fln-dorff, salutatorian; and James Lindholm. Instrumental solos and a vocal ensemble lent variety to the program. During its twenty-five years of democratic practices, our school has helped its students to become the good citizens of tomorrow. Democracy in the class room is exemplified in the work of our advisers, Mr. Hamrin, Miss Bennett, and Mrs. Mickelsen, who realized that there were valuable, latent ideas and abilities within us which they helped to maturity by their patience and understanding. EVA VENSKE Valedictorian Pag 24 In Democracy ROBERT FINDORFF Salutatorian Being inspired by the delicate beauties of winter, we chose Winter Wonderland as the theme of our banquet, which was held on January 23. Spangled snow-flakes, silvered-trees, and a sparkling, snowy table gave us the proper setting. As there are numerous patterns of snowflakes, so there are also different memories. One of these mernory-snowflakes that will always stand out will be our banquet. The solemnity of our Baccalaureate Service on January 26, suggested the more serious aspects of our future. The Reverend Mr. William Siegel, Pastor of the Emmanuel Lutheran Church, delivered an inspiring sermon titled, Built on the Rock. The mingled voices of the Choral Club and Choir lifted our thoughts on wings of music. Pago 25 The January Class of 1947 I I Anderson Shirlev • Shirl . . . Blue Trt. Vic© Pro .; Becxkalo. John . . .

Page 31 I Citizens SALUTATORIAN VALEDICTORIAN JOAN CHANTLER HELEN MISKOWIEC Centered around the theme of the rainbow, the senior banquet was held on June 5th. The multi-colored hues of the iridescent arc contrasted with the cloud-white tables and was completed by the traditional pot o' gold. As there are many colors in the rainbow, so there are also many different aspects of our school life; and the memory of our banquet will be one of the brightest of these. Among our more serious recollections the Baccalaureate Service stands out sharply. It was held on June 8th when the Reverend Mr. Clark W. McElmury, an Edison graduate of 31, spoke on Possessing Our Possessions. Hymns and appropriate selections were sung by the Choral Club under the direction of Elmer Sodergren.

The climax of our scholastic careers came when we were graduated on June 12th. Don Clarkin, class president, presented the seniors to Mr. Reichard. Since Edison was celebrating its 25th anniversary, the usual student speeches were not given. Instead, a group of creative writers composed suitable exercises which were partly in poetry. Estelle Hagie, the principal participant, spoke on the his lory of Edison, while Warren Gullen and Helen Miskowiec, valedictorians, Joan Ohantler, salutatorian, Alice Overmire, and Robert Knudson gave short responses. Just before the diplomas were presented, Mr. Reichard announced the winners of the awards and scholarships, the most important of these being the St. Anthony Falls Bank award, the Minnesota Association of Colleges Scholarship, the Star-Journal Award, and the Louis G. Cook Award. St. Anthony Falls Bank has given a watch to an outstanding graduate since the first year of Edison. The Louis G. Cook Award, which is being presented for the third time, is provided by the Louis G. Cook Memorial Fund to which funds are contributed by any interested group or individual. The basis of choosing the awardee is wide, but students interest-ed in science are given special consideration. The diplomas were presented to all seniors by a member of the Board of Education. This was one of the most beautiful commencements in the annals of Edison, and the program will remain clearly etched in our hearts as we look back on our school days.

I Page S5 YOUTH PRACTICES DEMOCRACY Organizations have long been important in Edison, for club activities are the practical applications of all the democratic principles and procedures we have so long been taught. Without them, democracy, fair play, and free speech would be empty words void of their meaning—merely a part of the daily routine so familiar to all of us. In Edison, these practices have been thoroughly emphasized. Panel discussions, debates, campaigns, and social events—all add their bit to this phase of our high school careers. By cultivating these things, lasting impressions are made: impressions that are leading us along the widening path to world peace and democracy. BAND G. Anderson, J. Anderson. R. E. Anderson. R.

For those interested in music, the orchestra provides a way to greater appreciation through participation. This organization provides us with entertainment at such notable occasions as the senior class play and commencement. MR. LUNKLEY ORCHESTRA Allison, G. Anderson. L. Anderson, M. Anderson.

Assemblies, baccalaureate services, and concerts are the occasions at which this group sings. Under the direction of Mr. Elmer Sodergren, the choir has also earned a high place for itself in the esteem of the students. Those selected to be in choir work hard in order to be selected for the choral club. MR. SODERGREN CHOIR Frith row: Turpin, Burmeistor, Burkholder. Keehn, Plttelkow, Thultodal. Ncuonfeldt, Grams.

We shall remember them for their lovely Christmas caroling in the school halls. The Inventors Club serves the school in many useful ways.

Pago 62 The Student Council was organized in 1923 with Miss Adelaide Ber as its first adviser. Its initial step in organizing was the drafting of a constitution which was ratified in 1926. Although there have been amendments added to the original, it is fundamentally the same as it was then. To publicize the acivities of the Student Council is the work of the Publicity Committee. Through it we hear about our Council's activities. The Vaudeville Committee has charge of this annual school production. It decides upon what acts are to be given, handles the sale of tickets, determines the date, and chooses the judges. Another important group is the Social Committee. They plan such activities as the Homecoming Dance. It is through the efforts of the Lunchroom Committee that we have a pleasant, clean lunchroom to eat in because they handle the problem of providing a student crew to make sure the cafeteria is in good condition.

In the passing years more activities have been brought under the council's jurisdiction, such as organizing Red Cross work, choosing cheer-leaders, and supervising the annual Vaudeville. To run the lost and found room is the duty of the Lost and Found Committee. These students give their lime before and after school to answer queries. The Red Cross Committee has charge of all Red Cross activities around the school. This spring the committee collected money for the Junior Red Cross and urged advisory groups to fill the Red Cross boxes that were sent to Europe. The Point System Committee has charge of the number of points that each activity earns. If a student has work that adds to more than 32 points, he is requested to give up some of his activities. Giving the awards, such as letters to the stage crew and other service groups, is the responsibility of the Recognition Committee.

The purpose of this club is to awaken an appreciation of the culture and contributions of Rome to our civilization. In order that Spanish students might become better acquainted with their South American neighbors, the Pan American League was organized in 1942.

Students do not have to know anything about the game in order to join this group, for it is the purpose of the club to teach chess to its members. Those students who play the best enter into competition with chess players from other schools. Membership in the National Honor Society is one of the high honors given to a high school student. To be elected, a student must excel in leadership, scholarship, and service. Students in the upper fourth of the 11 A, 12B, and 12A classes are eligible.

The purpose of this club is to provide Christian fellowship for those who wish it. Meetings are held every second and fourth Thursday of the month. Every three months an All-City Christian Fellowship meeting is held in one of the different churches. Since its organization in 1925, the only great change in the National Honor Society has been an increase in the total number of members. The emblem of this organization, the keystone and flaming torch, symbolizes the light of education. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Third row: Herwig. Nelson, Venske, Whitney. Mitchell.

By Lines and The first Wizard was an annual very different from the present one, for it was published by the journalism and printing classes with the athletic, music, art, industrial, and academic departments well represented. Senior pictures were absent because Edison had no graduating class in its first year. The Nor'easter was the first name chosen and used for the Edison year book. The title originated among a group of teachers. The first year book cost only fifty cents, but it was small in format and only sixty-two pages long. The title second in popularity was the Wizard. Disapproval of the earlier choice was shown by the student body, and editorials in the Record were written urging that it be changed. A vote was taken in all the English classes, and the name The Wizard, was chosen for the second year book and has remained its name ever since. EAGER BEAVERS Second row: Plche.

The staff gathers news of school activities, such as club meetings, athletic contests, and assemblies. In 1923 The Edison Record was chosen by the student body as the name for the paper. The name won the instant favor of faculty members and news classes. The students voted almost unanimously for it. The first issue was free, and the subscription price for the remainder of the term was twenty-five cents. As time went on. every student became a subscriber, and the lull of expectancy that greets our paper on Thursdays is indicative of its popularity.

Under Miss Lee's direction, the lunchroom helpers see that everyone is served as quickly and efficiently as possible. Because our school population is 1,782, it is necessary to have traffic regulations in Edison High School. The stair guards see that the students go up and down the correct stairways. During the lunch periods, the hall guards watch that the students remain in the lunchroom or outside in fine weather and direct people new to the building.

In our class plays and parties, vaudevilles and assemblies, we find the happier side of life. Here we mingle, having fun together, all worries and cares forgotten for the moment. Some of us take part in these activities; others merely sit back to enjoy watching. In either case, the prevailing themes are fun and relaxation. Informally and for enjoyment only, we come together as a unit through this social life—another means of promoting our school’s progress in the democratic pattern. x I BOYS] Tommies Knock COOK FIELD MEMORIAL Evelyn Alberico ROYALTY REIGNS As the last few seconds of sixth period ticked away, our cares were forgotten and only excitement filled our minds.

We took our places in the stands not only with anticipation of victory, but also with reverence at the dedication about to take place. Our football field is now known as Cook Memorial Field in honor of our former principal, Louis G. Cook. For the first time, the flag was officially raised over the field. Mrs. L. G. Cook, and her two daughters were present on this memorable occasion.

Football, baseball, basketball. track, in addition to tennis, golf, swimming, and gymnastics each has its place in our yearly round of activity. The coaches have all stressed the importance of good sportsmanship and teamwork as democratic practices, and by so doing they have produced many winning teams—teams that have achieved championship after championship. These competitions have done their part in promoting the school's consistent progress in the democratic way. Gridiron EDISON 14-HENRY 0 Outplayed in the first half by the tricky Henry team, the Tommies rallied in the second half to put two markers over. The first touchdown was made by Walus who crashed over from the 4-yard line with no one putting a hand on him. Mitchell converted for the extra point. The second touchdown was made by the fine run of Bruce Richard from the 25 into the end zone. Mitchell, outstanding defenseman, was placed on the weekly all-city. EDISON 6—WASHBURN 6 Two strong lines clashed; the result, a tie. The Tommies scored first when they recovered a fumble on Washburn's 30. The touchdown was by air, a pass to Mitchell's hands in the end zone. Washburn took the same advantage as Edison when they recovered a fumble on Edison's 38. Art Davis scored for Washburn. EDISON 20 SOUTHWEST 6 Edison showed a great line in not allowing the Southwest team any first downs. The first touchdown for Edison was by a pass covering 8 yards to Jerry Mitchell from Richard. The second was also made by a pass from Dick Butler to Ken Kirberger. Then Bill Johnson caught the Edison defense off and returned the kickoff 95 yards for the touchdown.. Schleisman ran the next touchdown over from the 4. Again Mitchell was on the weekly all-city for his fine defense work. EDISON 7 MARSHALL 6 The Tommies had a tough time in downing a stubborn Marshall team, but Mitchell's kicks proved the big effort for victory in the game. Edison scored after two minutes of play, when it recovered a Marshall fumble on the seven yard line. Joe Schleisman went over two plays later. Mitchell split the uprights. Mazenga scored from the one after a 40 yard pass. Mitchell was placed on the weekly allcity for the fine kicking that kept Marshall from threatening again. COACH. MR.

McNamee put Central in the lead early in the first quarter, but a 25 yard run by Walus, who was playing the game with a cast on his shoulders, put Edison back in the game at 7 all. Then Edison, led by Schleisrnan, went into a 14 to 7 lead. Then Central put two touchdowns oven and won 21-14. EDISON 14 NORTH 6 The Polars turned aerial minded, but to no avail. Edison started right off with a bang. Afier a bad North kick, Walus went over the goal line in two minutes of play. Mitchell converted the extra point. Then, in the third quarter, Schleisrnan ran around end for 17 yards and after 3 plays went over to make it 13-0. Mitchell made it 14-0. Then Riley of North caught a pass on the 40 yard line and went over. EDISON 41 VOCATIONAL 6 The Tommies got touchdown minded to run up the highest score of the season. Mitchell started out by blasting over from the one; then he split the uprights. Richard scored on a fine run from the 20 yard line. Mitchell's kick was good. Richard passed to Schleisrnan. Several other boys figured in the scoring, too, for the biggest Edison score. This was the highest score any school team had made in a single game all season. 1 ven the great West team didn't beat it. EDISON 0 ROOSEVELT 12 This very improved Roosevelt team took advantage of a very muddy field to dump Edison 12-0. They scored in the first quarter after an Edison fumble and again in the third period after another fumble. Both lines played an excellent game from start to finish but Roosevelt's pass interception was the big thing. ASST. COACH, MR MANKOWSKI FIRST TEAM Third row: Yatea, Clarktn, St vans.

Edison beat both of these teams during the season, but was upset by Central 42-36 in the last game. In the Twin City game, St. Paul Central gave the Tommies little competition as the Edison team ran over them by a score of 51-36. Edison lost the first game of the district 40-35 to Marshall. This was their night off as the Tommies got only 6 baskets in the second half of the game. In the consolation game with Washburn, Edison had little trouble downing the Millers 41-35. HIGH JUMPERS I Pago 100 BOB KULJCAY DALE JOHNSON PETE NOVAK JOHN KAUTH Champions During the schedule, it was the ability to go into the game and fight that gave Edison so many victories. Sports writers in the city marveled at the spirit and speed the Tommies showed although only one letterman was back from the previous year. The Edison team had fine guards in Bill Hollom, Kenny Kirberger, and Jerry Tovsen, but lack of shooting ability of the forwards was a weakness. Pete Guzy, Bill Hollom, and John Felegy were given honorable mention on the all-city team. John Felegy, navy veteran, helped the team out of tight spots, with his experience and coolness at all times. LOOKING FOR AN OPENING TOM WALINSK!

These two boys were the spark plugs in the Edison drive; and many times when a game seemed lost, one or the other would come through to push Edison out in front. For example in the Roosevelt game, Jerry Mitchell came through, in one second left to play, with a basket that won the game for Edison 44-43. In the Marshall game Kenny Kirberger kept the high-scoring Nordling from a single basket. TYING HIM UP WATCH OUT Fog 102 Third row: Wontor, Butler. Sappa, Thoreon, Podany, Kuberaei. Mt.

Players from Edison who placed on the All-City Nine were Johnny Garbett and Bill Hollom, pitchers, and Pete Guzy, Jr., second-baseman. Several other players were placed on the second team.

The future looks good for the puck men as they will have two centers, two defense men and several wings returning, all having experience and capability. In dual meels the Tom harriers won two and lost one. In the city meet the team placed sixth with Don Siegel capturing sixth in the meet, to take individual honors on the team.

Printing cries the sorrows and joys of every hour. It speaks to people of every kind and makes their hearts beat with tenderness or drives them on to war. The Printing Press sends knowledge abroad as Nature sends the rain. One nourishes the soil while the other enriches man's in telligence. In five or ten or fifty years from now, when memories have faded, and many things are forgotten. this printing will bring back fresh and new, the hours you spent in school for preparation for what we hope will be a full measure of success in the future.
