Only once, due to abnormal conditions created by war, no issue of our annual appeared, this was in 1944. This silver anniversary represents a quarter century of development which has been constant and fruitful not only to our year book but to the whole world. This milestone points to an opportune time to compare conditions existing twenty-five years ago with the resultant progress since then. Pause now, and follow the 1949 Wizard as it examines these differences. ln 1923, simultaneous with the first issue of our year book, came the initial Edison graduation class. As the community became aware of the school, its influence began to be felt in the vicinity. But there were also events of inter- national significance which attracted the attention of our neighborhood. The collapse of the League of Nations brought with it a note of universal despair. Meanwhile, however, science and industry were providing an optimistic outlook with many new inventions: plastics, radio, airplane, and the talking movie. Since then the world has undergone a second war for democracy, and we are now living in another postwar era which contains indeterminable potenti- alities for the advancement of mankind. Atomic energy, television, jet planes, and the possibility of inter-stellar traveleeall these are now or may one day be at our disposal. With the thought of making the reader conscious of these inno- vations, the 1949 Wizard has chosen the Past and the Present as its theme.

When-after more than twenty-five years of devoted service-she laid down her work a year ago, we were keenly aware that a stalwart spirit had withdrawn from our midst. Little did we think, however, that her life had so nearly run its course. Hers was a courageous life in which integrity and thoroughness were watch- words. These qualities of her character left their impress upon the hundreds of boys and girls who, through the years, went in and out of her classroom. Others were inspired by her loyalty,-an unswerving loyalty to her superiors, to her co-workers, and to her friends. Like many loyalties, hers found expression in the generous giving of herself in service. One of her best contributions to the school was made by her assuming charge year after year of the school banking, an un- dertaking which culminated in the Bond and Stamp sales of the war years. To this work she gave freely of her time and energy. Not least among Miss Dunn's admirable traits was her deep appreciation of beauty. Such was her love for all that was good and beautiful that the motto of her life might well have been expressed in these lines: Ad Dei gloriam, though it be but dust! Pro bono hominum, in Him be our trust Who is the life wherein our spirits move, The depth, the height, the width of love. Edna L. Sorenson. Page 6 A Dedication Erected as the monument in honor of our war dead, the Little Theater is per- haps the greatest single project ever undertaken by Edison High School. But this memorial is also an evidence of democratic, progressive co-operation-a posi- tive example of the ideals for which our service men died. The original cost of the Little Theater was enormous-over 58,0001 With the Minneapolis Board of Education furnishing the initial 53,009 contributions began to flow in from sources both outside and within our school. Two successful magazine-selling campaigns, sponsored by the student body, raised our building fund considerably, however, the P. T. A., the Alumni Association, the Student Council, the Pillsbury Mothersingers, the commercial department, and the modern problems classes were all generous and willing donors. After months of exact planning and designing, actual construction com- menced last December when workmen removed the wall standing between rooms 218 and 219. Soon the interior lost its former classroom semblance. The stage of natural blond finish, with cocoa brown cycloramic curtains, was com- pleted: the walls were painted a soft gray, now the Little Theater assumed a com- pletely modern appearance. lnconspicuously placed in one corner, there is a pedestal on top of which lies a large book, a book which contains only a picture and a brief life summary of each of the 116 men who made the supreme sacrifice for their country. On Memorial Day, 1949, the Little Theater was officially dedicated and the occasion was marked by the unveiling of a bronze plaque bearing each of the l 16 names and concluding with this inscription by Clifford Olafson: They died for usp Let us live for them.

Puq 1 EDUBHTIUH HEEPS Ili STEP Each new invention, improvement, and discovery produces a corresponding change in our lives and in society. To keep abreast of these developments during the past quarter century, educational methods and curricula have been undergoing a constant, positive evolution. Electronics, plastics, and home management-timely subjects such as these- have been added to the course of study at Edison. The atom is no longer restricted to the physics and chemistry departments, but its far-reaching implications are now discussed as an essential unit in all social studies classes. Conversely the history, political influence, and economic aspects of scientific innovations are stressed in the science courses. Audio-visual improvements during the last twenty-five years have also had a marked affect on teaching methods, for moving pictures covering a wide selection of subjects are readily available. These films not only provide a departure from the routine for the students but also supplement the teacher's knowledge. In the field of common learnings, a modern and highly favored variation of the usual class pro- cedure, our school has been a leader. A quarter ofa century ago, America turned to isolationism, but that policy proved irreconcilable to our way of life. Cooperation is therefore emphasized, cooperation broadly on an international 5 level and more personally be- C J tween our faculty and stu- ob J dents. G1 Twenty-five years ago the Q A emphasis of our educational system was placed upon mere fN K factual knowledge. But today X our faculty has developed a dif- ferent philosophy as these edu- cators have come to realize that it is essential to a democracy to graduate well-informed individ- uals who can think for them- 5 w selves and who are ready to ac- cept their responsibilities in so- ciety.

Qur administraf tive head continued to say, The principal today is still the person on whom tull responsibility rests, but some chanqes have taken place. It seems to me that the most pronounced Change miqht be compared with the chanqe which has taken place in some indus' tries, sometimes referred to as 'multiple manaqement '. MR. HEICHARD Miss Erma Todd, visitinq teacher of Edison, remarked, More students are remaining in school alter they are sixteen, which indicates a greater interest in education. Miss Florence Iohnson, nurse to Edison's students, stated, More and more tests have been qiven to prevent epidemics and the carrying of diseases throughout the school, the community, and the city in recent years. 4 , 1 ' 5 3 , 'I ' 'f din ' Q 'N training extends far beyond book lore. Their horizons are une limited, and a new interest in world attairs and in the people ot the world is apparent, said Mrs. Leila Renderriick, chief librarian.

Puqe 12 Closer Relationships Bring Better Understanding l think we in the office have developed a greater appreciation of the prob- lems and difficulties of youth and a greater willing- ness to discuss those prob- lems. We try to work out an understanding solution with the help of all the peo- l ple concerned. Every item l connected with the schools l is becoming more and more democratic. The ad- ministration is helping to carry out this idea, said Mr. Eddis lanes, assistant principal of Edison High School. MR. IANES Twenty-five years ago there was only 'hope' that Minneapolis high schools would some day have counselors to help develop a guidance program, stated Miss Arta Kocken, a member of the counseling staff. Cur other student adviser, Mr. C. Kenneth Knox, who has started an Edison Leadership Club, thinks that today students carry out more activities concerning school affairs than before. The school clerks feel that their job has increased. An ex- ample is the matter of finances which was formerly looked after by a teacher, but now the staff has full charge of every phase of financing. Soated: Mrs. Alm.

The feeling of dissatisfaction on the part of teachers and principals with the performance of students in civic, occupational, social, and cultural areas is the main cause for the devel' opment of the common learnings class. It includes that part of the program de- signed to meet the common needs of all students. It helps the student to get the feel of every day living. Thus it must be concerned with family mem- bership, communication of ideas, worthy use of leisure, and those other activities common to adult living, concluded the common learnings teachers, Miss Agnes Deverell, Miss Florence Leary, and Mrs. Margaret Palm.

In the last quarter century high school newspa- pers have been undergoing the same changes as American life in general, remarked Miss Sophie Albinson, Engf lish teacher and former Record advis- er. Miss Grace Garland, our dramatic teacher, said, More plays are given these days. As for radio, a compara- tively new subject, it is greatly ape preciatedf' Miss Ruth Tupper, ad- viser of Sock 'n' Buskin the only Shakespeare Club in the city in- formed us, Interest in Shakespearean activities has increased greatly, but attendance for various reasons has been more irregular during recent years. Modern Methods Bring lmproved Results Miss Frances Cowan suggested, ln the past, few boys or girls held jobs after school: so it was much easier to get fine specimens of original writ- ing. Miss Florence Fisch stated, l think the English courses have changed in presentation more than in content. Mrs. Verna Olsen, director of the National Honor Society, re- marked, The high standards of years gone by are still necessary. ln her job as social adviser to the senior class, Miss Mildred Ward informed us that the job has been simplified much in the last quarter century. Our year book adviser, Miss Birdella Ross, said, The first year book of our school looked more like a magazine in for- mat. Small drawings were used dec- oratively on division pages, and there was little or no attempt at unity of theme. Seated: Miss Cowon, Miss Ross, Miss Word. Standing: Mrs. V. Olsen, Miss Fisch. Mrs. Kellner, Miss A, lohnson, Miss Sorenson. Edison's German teacher, Miss Ed- na Sorenson, remarked, The use of victrola records, like those employed in language instruction in the army, and the emphasis on speaking has made the present day language class very different from those of 1923 The main change in the French Club, added Mrs. Anne Kellner, who is in charge, is that the yearly dues paid in 1923 were ten cents, which was adequate in the past. Edison's Latin and English teacher, Miss Alice Iohnson, concluded, The fundamen- tal difference is that much less is ex- pected of high school students now. French Club actors: B. Iohnson, D.

However, the presentation and emphasis are now such as to meet present world conditions, stated Miss Celia Torney, Miss Genevieve Holkesviq, and Miss Louise Ramswick ot the mathematics de' partment. Fundamental laws ot mathef inatics do not chanqe or develop, they exist and are discovered, commented Mr. Benjamin Liemohn. lt is applied mathematics which we are usinq now in the many fields and in our future needs. We are considerinq the individual pus pil, his needs, his skills, and his oppoi tunity to apply them, remarked Mr.-2. Louise Olsen. Mrs. Helen Curry, cheerleader adviser, said, Instead ot havinq two or three hoy cheerleaders leading us lustily in a halt dozen yells which we all know well, we now have a hoard ot qirl cheerleaders tryinq to get a feeble response to two dozf en yells which less than two dozen peof ple really know, Mr. Ralph Ahlstrom stated, During the past twenty-tive years the subject of history has gradually changed to a qreater emphasis on the events in the Westerri world. The inlluf ence oi science has now made world his tory truly a world matter. per seated M m-:wi k Mss Hulk sviq M s l.. Olsen, Standinq: Mi Hiuninti owe!

The boys now have almost complete control over conduct on the stairs. We did not have any guards until the school became too congested for the students to move around easily, commented Miss Nellie Erb, adviser to the stair guards. Amer- ican history contains more material now. Apparently it is more difficult to learn, for more people suffer shipwreck in the course, suggested Mr. Victor Erickson. The trend in social studies has been to- ward more student planning and partici- pation. The memorizing of facts has given way to attempts at drawing conclu- sions regarding problems that affect the individual, stated Miss Eva Peterson. Films, slides, and many other devices today supplement the text books cf the class. The increased techniques of edu- cational fihn making are leading to a greater use of motion pictures in all school rooms, replied Mr. I. Selrnar Drage, adviser of the Inventors Club. Miss Ethel Mellem felt that the teaching of chemistry had been changed by the development of the atom. We no longer define the atom as indivisible. The atom has been broken down, and the electron theory has explained electricity. Colin Musica. Carol Reshetur. and Carol Chcntler learn chemistry through experiments. it Upper: Mr, tfiivkson, Miss M. Simmons, Miss Peterson, Miss ilib, Lower: Mi.

Good text-books have been developed and, thus, far better classroom re- sults have been obtained, commented Mrs. Lucille Sim- mons, chairman of the com- mercial department. Miss Emma Choudek, adviser of Key Pen, said, The most noticeable change in the teaching of office training and secretarial practice has been that part of the student's train' ing which is done out on the job. The busi- ness men are assuming and accepting part of the responsibility for the students train- ing. Mr. Charles Lombard, bookkeeping teacher, remarked, The vast amount of government accounting has opened up new fields, and the requirements of the Income Tax Law have made it necessary for all business concerns to keep much more ac- curate and complete records. Mrs. Virginia Adams and Mr. Harold Tietz, directors of the occupational program, stated, Occupational relations have changed due to the fact that many children are interested in going out and training for their jobs as part of their school prof gram.

Mr. Lee Heironimus com- mented, The teaching ot machine and architectural drawing has be- come more technical with the years that have passed. These subjects help boys who are going on to school as well as those who are not. Mr. Henry Zittleman sugf gested, I teach the same subject, with the in the same manner. The development ot radar, television, and other new inventions has changed the method of teaching electricity to a great extent. A lack of funds has prevented the teaching of these new things, but soon all schools will have adequate equipment, The study of metal work has not changed enough to be noticed, concluded Mr. D.

Said Mr. Lyle Barber, our chiet engineer, There has been a lot ot new equipment installed around the building in recent years. There is more gum chewing by the students, and the walls have seemed to accumulate much dirt. Mr. Peter Guzy, our football coach, commented about the sport, Football, especially, has undergone quite a few changes tor the betterment oi the game from both a player's and spectator's stand! point.

Mr. Miller, Page 21 RRRDllRlES FURTHER PRUGRESS But in examining both of these ideas knowledge is found to be the basic element- knowledge acquired through years of hard study and costly experience. Over eight thousand students, each with a twelve year background in the fun- damental concepts of languages, arts, and sciences, have graduated from Edison High School during the past quarter of a century. Upon receiving their diplomas, these alumni have scattered in every conceivable direction: many have continued their educations at innumerable universities and colleges, others have gone immediately into work of their choice. Medicine, philosophy, engineering, and accounting-these are but typical occupations, for in practically every field there is an Edison graduate. There is nothing mystical about the advent of recent innovations, for they are merely the result of the productive powers of man's intellect and ingenuity. The very same boys and girls who wandered down the halls of Edison only a few short years ago have now established themselves as men and women workers and have contributed directly to the impressive ad- A 'N 4 vance of the last twenty-five 3 2 .1 years.

The direct re- sult of this prevailing spirit has been the addition of many new but essential extra- curricula activities and the expansion of those which already existed, for when Volume I of the Wizard was published in l923, only twelve school clubs were functioning at Edison. This situation has changed with the years-now there are over forty offi- cially recognized organizations. Yet each has its particular purpose: the Hi-Y, Blue Tri, Christian Fellowship, and Seton Hi-groups such as these were founded primarily to promote the ideals of religion, service, and understanding while the language clubs and musical assem- blages have always stressed fun, personal participation, and a cultural emphasis. Yes, here at Edison practically every student can find a club which will relate to his per- sonal interests. The development of respon- sible leaders is extremely essen- cf tial to a school, however the fundamental essence of leader- ship lies in its practical appli- 1 Qt cation. Consequently, a stu- !-, dent council composed of elect- A x X ed representatives was organ- ized in l923 to establish and fl-5 regulate student policies. Work- -1 ing in conjunction with this gov- Af ernmental group, the recently chartered Leadership Club also offers innumerable opportuni- ----Y-F l ties for ambitious Edisonians to sl head or act on various service committees. Most significant, though, .X these activities have produced S individuals with a practical ex- perience in citizenship-indi- viduals who are the leaders of tomorrow.

No honor conferred on a student by the school overshadows election to the National Honor Society. This organization represents the fundamentals for which all schools are instituted and gives recognition to those students who have most nearly achieved the desired ends. The constitution of this national organization recognizes tour cardinal objectives: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. ln as much as promotion is now on an annual basis, only one election to the National Honor Society was held this year. At the induction assembly on April 5th, both newly elected and active members participated. Parents and students who attended the impressive ceremony were fortunate in hearing tour excellent talks by Honor Society members on the importance ot carrying out the Society's objectives.

The Wizard staff, composed entirely of seniors, has worked diligently this year with the hope of bringing national recognition to our silver anniversary issue. Writing copy, planning page layouts, and preparing pictures for the en- graver comprise a large portion of the work required of our yearbook staff which is a group especially chosen to put out the school annual. Got any news for today? -this familiar phrase is often asked by mem- bers of the Record staff in the halls of Edison. lt is their duty to keep posted on current school activities, events, and gossip: and to report this news in an ac- curate, interesting way. With columns turned upside down, fantastic headlines and absurd information about both students and teachers, the April Fools edition this year was truly a collector's prize.

Pirmness is the key word of these workers Who, under Miss Erb's di- rection, perform their duties faithfully. Though we all grumble over the rules at times, we must realize that were it not for the ever-watchful stair guards, passing from class to class would be a complicated process. lt is our duty, therefore, to co-operate with them to the fullest. The Edison stage crew under the guidance of Mr. Bruning constitutes a necessary cog in the machinery of our school. With Bill Lyman as foreman, these mechanics are responsible for making backstage equipment run smoothly. This crew assists by operating the lights, changing scenery, and taking care of the many odd jobs that concern the stage and the properties of it. S T A G E C R E W Row 1: D. Lawrence, B. Lyman, R.

Fortunately, the entire student body of Edison has been a part of as well as acutely responsive to the innumerable customs, events, and festivities during our school year. Since l923 and the first edition of our annual, our social functions have unfailingly gained in popularity, consequently, activities nowadays offer more variety through greater student participation. But what affect has the universal progress of the last quarter century had on our social life? Certainly television, cars, radios, and microphones have all produced im- mediate and tangible changes. They have opened entirely new fields of entertainment and have expanded our recreational facilities, but they have also introduced outside distractions into our school life. Colorful assemblies, after-school movies, lunch time music, and exciting sports- all these offer interesting and welcome diversions from the monotony of a school day. School life also flourishes within the classroom, the main attraction of the year being student day, however, fun is never substituted for study.

Palm to go for a stroll. F. Conlon. M. Worcester, H. Ekberq. and D. Ohman practice a song for their act. The Vaudeville, an accepted tradition, is an annual affair jointly sponsored by the Student Council and the P. T. A. With the acts ranging from heavy drama to light comedy, from music to mimicry, the participants have a chance to display their respective talents. After weeks of preparation, the hard-working aspirants to a blue ribbon finally arrive at perfection. The opening night is both a thrill and an ordeal for these youthful actors. The climax of the Vaudeville is reached when the coveted prizes are awarded to the best acts. Vaudeville this year was a huge success. lt was difficult to select the win- ners of the ribbons out of all the good acts, but the judges did their best and finally came up with the victors. First prize for the best front stage act went to the Carbon Copies while the second prize in the same class was awarded to the Five Little Indians. White Fury won first honors for the best full stage act with Bum- ming the Time Away coming in for a close second. All these Vaudeville acts showed that Edison students are brimming over with talent.

Now, after a quarter of a century of competitive sports participation, practically every shelf and corner is occupied by a trophy, the latest being the coveted Twin-City football cup, but each of these trophies represents more than a mere championship or an honor. Each is in itself symbolic of the hard training, cooperative effort, and clean sportsmanship of all Edison teams. Athletics are an essential function of any school as they develop strong bodies, perfect coordination, and clear thinking. However, most important, they intensify school spirit and interest. Consequently Edison's meager sports program of i923 has been greatly expanded and athletic facilities increased proportionately since then. Tennis, swimming, golf, hockey, gymnastics, volley ball and skiing-these and the games originally played at Edison: basketball, football, track, and baseball, are now open to all who are eligible and interested. Here sports are no longer restricted only to boys. The physical education department is now offering the girls a wide range of inter-mural activities such as volleyball, field hockey, archery, and softball while golf and basketball are played on a city-wide basis. fl A S A Over the years our school has established an excellent reputa- tion both locally and through- A -5 out the entire state for consis- N' L '-5 tantly fine sportsmanship and precision athletics. f' By playinggon various colleg- ' iate and professional teams many former Edison athletes have brought national recogni- L tion to themselves and to their alma mater. 2 PER W f X M Y f f Q Edison Captures FOOTBALL STARTING LINEUP Row I: Hoq, laszewski, Lindsley, I-lorn, Stephens, Neuman, Kaliszewski.

For several years every girl has been required to take the State Physical Fitness Test. Two tests are given each year, one in the fall and another in the spring. The first exam is merely a practice test, but for the final, the girls receive marks. The girls try hard and a few get an A aver- age, which makes them eligible for the Physical Fitness Merit Award. From about eight hundred girls, there are ape proximately thirty who receive this award. Rhythm is an elective class open only to the sophomore and junior girls. who learn basic dance steps, such as the polka and the schottische. The girls learn many variations of these patterns and are then able to do social dancing more readily. Archery, a sport for the highly skilled, requires a good eye and a strong arm. The girls in this class learn how to shoot straight and to caro for their equipment. A R C H E R Y Left lo right: l.Riclic1rclsrn,R.Nylvrikkrrii,f7.NrnIl1- fielcl, S. Ostermqn. , .

Basketball is a well-known sport all over the country, but there are rela- tively few people who have ever seen a girls' basketball team in action. A team is composed of six players: three guards and three forwards. The rules lor the game are similar to those used by the boys, with these two excep- tions: the girls are not allowed to dribble, and they are compelled to use only onevhalf of the court. Tennis is an elective recreational class which can be just as interesting as the girls, themselves, make it. Row 1: tt. Crossniun, B. Hurrle, M. Cherry. How 2: C. Bryon, C. Trowbridge, Ktwoii Speedball is a recreational game sim- ilar to basketball, football, and soccer. Using a regulation soccer ball, the girls of the seventh and eighth grade play this game on the football field. Each team consists of eleven players: five forwards, five guards, and a goalie. Field hockey is played by the fresh- men, sophomore, and junior girls. On each team there are ll girls: five for wards, an equal number of guards, and a goalie. Using a white, leather-covered ball and a small hockey stick, the teams play this sport on a field 60 by lOU yards. T E N N I S Left to right: S. Iohnson, I. Stephens, P. Bcillrnmin, L. Boggs, I.

Last spring the presentation of athletic letters to girls was initiated at Edison. To qualify for such a let- ter, an eleventh grade girl must have fulfilled the following require- ments: seven merit certificates which are distributed to participants at the close of each all-star tourna- ment, outstanding athletic ability, and a record of excellent sports- manship. Although approximately 300 junior girls were eligible last year, only seven qualified for this award. Girls' athletics now include a variety of masculine sports such as softball, field hockey, and basket- ball. Many girls concentrate on basketball: and although the rules are slightly revised, this sport still requires skill in guarding, passing, and shooting. Bowling, badminton, ping pong, and shuffleboard all these sports are taught in the recreational games class. All the girls select partners and they compete in tournaments by pairs.

End speedball, a variation of the game in which either team can score, combines the skills used in football, baseball, and soccer. SPEEDBALL Left to riqht: M. Mulvliow S. Gervais, A. lmiickc, B.

The conditioning class is an en- tirely new class in which the girls learn many new interesting feats. These athletes develop skills in swinging along horizontal ladders and jumping over standards as high as 3V2 feet. Tumbling, performing acrobatic stunts, and balancing on beams are essential activities of this classy but the girls specialize in jumping rope and creating rope- jumping patterns to music.

Pdqe 103 lIllllIlESUlH--lHEHllll lll SEHSUllS Limited on the North, South, and East by its present boundaries and on the West by the Missouri River, the Territory of Minnesota was formally created by Congress on March 3, 1849-one hundred years ago. At the time of its birth, our state struggled for mere existence against lndians, wild animals, and other natural hazards. But the Minnesota pioneers were hard- working, enthusiastic individuals. Soon trading posts, missions, and small isolated communities began to dot the new territory and civilization crept into the Midwest. During this, the centennial year of 1949, we can appreciate in retrospect and take notice of the significant progress and impressive developments of a productive century, for large cities and trade centers have long since replaced their counter- part of a hundred years ago: the small and widely separated villages. But our modern highway system and numerous state parks still preserve the same scenic beauty of our state which the earlier settlers enjoyed. Minnesota left its adolescent period long ago to find itself an industrial power ranking high in the production of flour, wood pulp, and machinery. Our newspapers, great university, and efficient school systems-these are typical accomplishments of the modern, mechanized state which has long been rec- ognized for the independent political thought of its citi- ,ggi gig, zens. However, we must remember I fi 6 I that were it not for the hard, Qc ' , v 5, honest work of thousands of ,C lf Minnesotans and the generous- X9 f . i Z . . . 1 L K' X, fy ly invested capital of our busi- , J - ll W ness leaders, none of these im- ' f' N rovements and developments ' w ' would have been possible. f 4 J 'A Q:-X I-5 fn f X .Hwy 53 '-QQ.
