The Past 1-las Taught: The Present Benefits The 1949 Wizard is the twenty-fifth year book published by the senior classes of Edison High School. 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. Page 3
