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. Paq 2

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.
