Come! See the procession of the year's events through the camera lens. As you watch, you see the football team coming on to the gridiron for another of their breath-taking games. Homecoming festivities arouse much enthusiasm. Dur- ing the half-time period, the alluring queen and her sparkling attendants parade around the field amidst the screaming of the spec- tators and the music of the band. On your screen you have just seen the football games: now follow the telecast photographer as he covers the winter events. Vocational's exceptional team fur- nishes a thrilling basketball performance. The hockey team gives battle on the ice. Over the snow-packed slopes of Columbia the ski team dashes in and out among the Kees. Brief Views are caught of the vari- Drum Mciorette. Marlene Laxurx. sets the tempo. ous class parties with haDDY students danc- ing and enjoying a lively evening. In the background, imagination hears the soft strains of dreamy mu- sic. Varied assembly programs feature interesting speakers, talented musicians, amusing plays, and spir- ited pep fests. After the snow has melted, the telecaster becomes intensely interested in the spring incidents. Signs of athletic practices are evident with the budding trees. The track stars get out on the Cinder path, and the baseball team starts to practice. The senior class presents its yearly play which draws a large crowd of students, parents, and teachers. Opening a two night stand, the annual Vaudeville recalls all the grandeur of the first days of Broadway. Tests and exams, talks and themes-these become subjects of daily chatter in the halls. Now take a peek at some of the other school activities. The Lunchroom Service Club cleans the stu- dents' cafeteria after each meal. Students take over the classes for one day during Edison Week. Home management classes conduct a play school for the little tots. The telecast photographer has given you a brief preview of the activities of the year. Let us turn the pages now to see in greater detail the sequence of events as the 1949-50 Parade of the Year marches past.

We were conscicus of his absence when we returned to school in the fall. We like to think of the principal as the father of our large family of students and teachers: so without Mr. Reichard we were like a fatherless house- hold. Mr. Reichard has always been an earnest yet wholly democratic administrator. He was a calm, impartial adviser, listening attentively to the problems of students and teachers. His advice was never spontaneously given, but thoughtfully con- sidered so that the decision was the best he could possibly make. His genuine friendliness is a prime factor in drawing people to him. We always knew he would have a cordial greeting and a pleasant smile for everyone as he met us in the halls or on the street. The 1950 graduating class of Edison High School is glad to dedicate the twenty- sixth edition of the Wizard to their friend and former principaleMr. Reichard. Page 6 Zin illlvmnriam With the death of Mr. Ranks on September l8, 1949, Edison lost a devoted and beloved faculty member. Although Mr. Ranks was not known generally by the student body because his work only touched the lives of those students in the Applied Music classes, the influence of his work was felt throughout the Whole school. His teaching mission was to inspire young people to express their talents in the field of original music composition. He possessed those virtues of patience and friendliness which made his stu- dents respond to his excellent direction. Many of our alumni who have attained eminence in music as a life calling owe much of their inspiration to him. Creative art is the highest expression of the human spirit, and Mr. Ranks devoted his life to the development of such expression by his students. Edison has been richer because he lived and worked with us here. Elmer H. Sodergren Page 7 FHCUHY THHE THE LEHD Without the thoughtful consideration and cooperation of our teachers, we would be blundering blindly along, poorly equipped for the advanced world of today, but because they inspire us to take an interest in present problems and to think ahead toward the future ones, we students of today are going to be better men and women of tomorrow. All through school we have depended upon the faculty to encourage us and lead us over the discouraging humps. They have watched us grow both in stature and in knowledge. They have come early and stayed late after school to help those of us who had a difficult time with our lessons. They have tried to divert self-interest on our part to interest in national and even world affairs. The office staff help us more indirectly than the teachers by signing posters, delivering urgent family messages, and arranging appointments with the princi- pal. Long lines of us file in and out of the office daily to -L .-- get the assistance of the clerks. ,Q ' - One of the many reason g A' ! 0 G for any parade is to stimulate ' interest. Our teachers do this by presenting the lesson in an C. interesting manner. lust as W the maiorettes lead and guide 0 the various marching groups. the faculty is the guide and in- spiration to the two thousand students paradinq down Edi- son's streets. 5 1 N M.

Samuelson, our principal, guides the general policy of the school and is primarily responsible for anything which takes place in it. As principal, he has the duties of being the official repref sentative of the Board of Education and of carrying out the rules of the Board. Mr. Samuelson operates on the premise that the function of the school is not to do things for students, but rather to help the students do things for themselves. Miss Florence lohnson, our school nurse, takes care of students who bee come ill during school hours. If it is necessary, she excuses them from school. The nurse also admits students who have been absent because of illness and makes home calls whenever it is helpful to do so. Mrs. Leila Bendernick, our librarian, and her assistant, Mrs. Mary Blair, acces- sion new books and help students find reading material for class work and for personal enjoyment. The librarians also train and supervise a group of students who assist them in the library. Evelyn Bill and Miss F. lohiison K 'K hi R A . ws-inns B ' Page lO I iw Teen-Age Needs Are Their Concern Z t Mitzi: 'Fudd rind Bcity Worst Mr. Eddis E, Ianes, our assistant prin- cipal, has the responsibility of arranging class schedules for teachers and stuf- dents. He must also approve new pro- grams and program changes. Students who desire to he excused from school must make arrangements with Mr. lanes beforehand. One of his most important duties is handling student discipline which requires a great deal of skill and hours of time. Another of his duties is the supervision of the halls. Miss Erma Todd, Edison's visiting teacher, devotes her time to making per- sonal contacts hetween the home and the school. Through her guidance many students, who are discouraged about their school work and wish to drop out, are persuaded to remain in school. Mrs. Nellie Alm, chief clerk, directs the office staff and makes appointments for Mr. Samuelson. Miss Ruth Lehowits, attendance clerk, keeps a record of ah- senses. Others on the staff are Miss Ethel Heller, hook room clerk, and Miss Mary Komarniski, credit clerk. Miss Holler, Miss Konnnn MR. IANES iski, Miss Lcbowits, Mis. Alm Page ll The Cultural Encourages Growth Seated: Miss Ferguson. Standing: Mr. Lunkley, Mr. Sodorgren. Problems involving the academic programs of Edison students rest in the hands of our qualified counselors, Miss Aria Kocken and Mr. Kenneth Knox. They give tests to the students to find out what they are interested in and to determine what careers they are best suited for. The counselors then try to help place them in jobs later on. ln spite of his lousy schedule, Mr. Knox finds time to coach the hockey team and advise the Edison Leadership Club. Page 12 Music, more than any other pursuit, offers an opporf tunity to get away from the ordinary things of life. The music department at Edison gives the students an op! portunity to sing or learn to play an instrument. Mr. Elmo Lunkley is the director of the band and orchestra in addition to being an assistant senior adviser. All instrumental programs are under his supervision. Miss Mary Barbara Ferguson directs the junior high vocal music Classes and is also an adviser for Silver Tri. Mr. Elmer Sodergren teaches the senior high chorus class- es and conducts the Choir and Choral Club. Miss Kcckcn ond Mr. Knox Under the capable direction of Miss Edith Barton and Mrs. Margaret Davis, the girls at Edison keep phyf sically fit. These teachers are in charge of girls' intraf mural athletics in addition to teaching physical educa- tion classes, and Miss Barton also supervises the girls' golf team. Basketball, baseball, field hockey, and vol- leyball are among the numerous sports in which the girls participate. Special classes in tennis, golf, and posture are given to those interested in them. ln cer- tain sports the girls on winning teams may have a chance to compete with girls from other schools. Mrs. Dcrvxs ond Miss Burton Variety' Develops the Individual A very itnportant extension of the coniniercial des partinent is occupational relations, The students who take this course attend school only in the morning but go to work in the afternoon. Our school coordinators, Miss Virginia Meile and Mr. Harold Tietz, teach occu- pational relations and arrange work tor seniors. ln addition, Miss Meile instructs a class in typing. Mr. Christopher Harnrin coaches the tennis tearn in addition to supervising the drivers' training classes. Mr. l-latnrin is also in charge ot handling the ticket sales it-r all school events. Miss Bennett and Miss Toohy Mr. Peter Guzy and Mr. Harry Miller are the instruc- tors of tho boys' physical education classes. With iootball in the tall, basketball in the winter, and base- ball in the spring, the tiine is put to good use in order to develop stronger bodies. Such qualities as strength ot inind and ot character are also developed. These classes give the boys a chance to prove their athletic ability belore trying out for the various sports. Mr. Guzy coaches the football and baseball teams, and Mr. Miller, the track and gymnastic teams. Mr. Miller is the faculty adviser lor the Hi-Y clubs at Edison. Mr. Millet und Mi. Suzy. Mr. Tietz, Miss Meile, Mr. Humrin. The art department is under the direction of Miss lean Toohy and Miss Olive Bennett. Funda- mentals in perspective and composition are taught in drawing while design in three dimen- sional torm is taught in modeling. Under the supervision ot these teachers, Edison art students turn out prize winning pieces ot art. Miss Toohy is in charge ot the scenery and costumes for all theatrical productions, such as the Christmas play and the class play, given in school. She is also the art adviser ot the senior year book.

Miss Dorothy Wallace also teaches English and is the Student Council adviser. Mr. Peter Mankowski, English instructor, is the assistant football coach, the wrestling coach, and the Lunch Room Service Club adviser. Among their English classes these teachers have courses in Shakespeare. Probably the most unappreciated people in our school are the maintenance corps. They work tirelessly at keeping the halls and rooms clean. Mr. Lyle Bar' ber is the chief engineer and director ot this group. English teacher, Miss Mildred Ward, is the chairman ot this department. Miss Florence Fisch instructs English and is in charge of the annual Vaudeville. The National Honor Society is under the su- pervision ot Mrs. Verna Olsen, an in- structor in English. Miss Frances Cowan teaches English and is the adviser of Se- ton-Hi. The publication ot our school annual, the Wizard, is supervised by Miss Birdella Ross, instructor in Ameri- can literature.

Pleasures Mingle with Work Miss I.--v Miss Soinnsnn, Miss A, lolinson, Mis. K4-llnwi Another busy department in our school is the group of women employed in the lunch room. They very capably provide a variety of food for the school lunch rooms. Miss Dorothy Lee is the manager of this group. German, French, Spanish, and Latin are the foreign languages offered at Edison. These subjects are under the instruction of Miss Edna Sorenson, German: Mrs. Anne Kellner, Spanish and French, and Miss Alice lohnson, Latin. Miss lohnson is also chairman of the foreign language department. These teachers are advis- ers to the clubs of the language they teach. Miss Sorenson and Miss lohnson teach English classes in addition to foreign languages. From the study of a foreign language, the students become more familiar with the customs and habits of other countries. ln addition to learning Spanish and doing class assignments, students in the Span' ish class are given the opportunity to re cord their voices in that language. Songs and skits may be recorded in this same manner. Songs may be also learned by following the printed words while listen- ing to recordings of the songs. Spanish Class: IU. Dt1Gictm, S. Pearson, M.

Now it is almost over. We don our caps and gowns, symbols of graduation, with sorrow as well as happiness: sorrow because we are leaving good friends and pleasant associations behind: happiness because we have nearly reached one of the biggest milestones in our lives. We have acquired invaluable knowledge and shared unrivalled oppor- tunities as we have marched through our school years. Thousands of students who strolled through Edison's corridors before us looked forward to the day when they would receive their diplomas. We. too, eagerly await these treasured scrolls which in this modern age are of inestimable value, for they are a recommendation in that they prove the bearers had ambition enough to carry out what they started. Many of us will enter colleges and universities throughout the entire nation: some of us will take iobs immediately after commencement without further train- ing. Among us there will un- doubtedly be some who will achieve outstanding success. 'Q We of the 1950 graduating J v class are stepping from the u memorable and leisurely days of school life into the aff? swift and more complicated procession of everyday liv- ing.

Dr. Bernhard Christensen, President of Augsburg College, moved us deeply with his sermon entitled, The Deepening Stream. Music for the occasion was offered by the combined voices of the Choir and Choral Club. Under the direction of Mr. Soder- gren they sang several religious selections. This service will be one we shall always remember. The excellent assistance given by our advisers during our senior year we sincerely appreciate. ln the years to come we will look back on their understanding advice and realize more fully how much we've valued their guidance.

To correspond with the theme, the dining rcom was decorated with gay paper objects representing designs ot the pres- ent and the future. Happiness was reflected in the smiling faces of us, seniors, as we assembled in the school auditorium for Commencement Exercises on Iune 15. The theme of our program, World Understanding, was carried out in the talks given by the Valedictorian and Salutatorians. Diplomas were presented to the students by Mr. Samuelson, and special awards were announced by Mr. lanes. Music for the occasion was pro- vided by a group of mixed vcices, a solo by Carole Gallick, and our school hymn which was sung by the entire senior class. SALUTATORIANS Upper left: lean Eide.

There were few at first, but with the years they have grown both in number and membership and have become influential in school affairs. They prove that proper recreational facilities give the necessary outlet for our talents and skills. Those who possess leadership qualities are given a chance to exercise them in the various groups. Musical groups provide enioyment for the members of the band and choir. Blue Tri, Hi-Y, and Ushers Club-organi- zations like these are interested in personal relaxation as well as in service for others. Educational groups such as Sock 'n' Buslcin and the language clubs stress fun along with learning. Many who are interested in photography or ioumalism hold positions on the school paper or yearbook staff. In the world today a well- balanced personality is I' I' truly an asset because peo- A ple must be able to see the 'D El U and still be capable of form- views of those around them V ing their own opinions. At Edison today activities -n are certainly an integral I l part of every student's life. lust as it takes many dif- ferent units to build up an - interesting parade so does it take various activities to build up in each individual a personality that is ca- pable of marching on its own as it keeps up with the parade of life.

The National Honor Society proudly accepts these leaders as members. ln unison, with their burning torch uplifted, they pledge themselves at their initiation to light the way toward good scholarship, fine character, capable leadership, and voluntary service. A school paper is an excellent way to learn more about the students, the school, and the teachers. lt Otters the pupils' ideas in every issue where conduct in as' semblies, interesting personalities, or recognition ot high scholarship may be discussed. From students the members ot the Record Staff seek information pertaining to school lite and obtain news by covering school activities and reporting them. The statt is composed entirely of seniors although in the spring juniors help out with the advertising and with some typing of copy. RECORD STAFF Row l: il. St-ry, D. Lcxison, M.

Members of the National Honor Society are selected from the upper one fourth of the junior and senior classes. They are rated by the faculty, and the vote of the present members of this society is also taken. According to the Constitution, 5 per cent of the junior class and lO per cent of the senior class may be chosen, making a total of 15 per cent from the two classes. The Wizard Staff is one of the groups at Edison that tries to encourage student co-operation to the fullest extent. The members of this group put forth their whole-hearted effort to create a year book that will rate high. This year the staff has added a Hall of Fame, which presents the 18 seniors elected for outstanding qualities by the senior class. Edisonians like this new addition to the year book and are hoping it may be continued. rt WIZARD STAFF Row l: D. Hott, R. Iohnson, C. Peterson, Ed.: I. Harrison, Miss Ross, D. Drusch. Row 2: I.

Any person at Edison who is interested in Christian companionship may join. Club meetings are held every week after school. The meetings consist of singspirations, speeches, and prayer with student leaders taking charge of the program. Members of Sock 'n' Buskin continue their study and dramatize excerpts from William Shakespeare's plays under the guidance of Miss Tupper. These advanced students learn to appreciate Shakespeares plays to a much greater extent. After pupils have taken a course of Shakespeare in the llth grade, they may join Sock 'n' Buskin for further enjoyment of good plays. . . SOCK 'N' BUSKIN Row 1: A. Chevalier, C, Hansen, I.

Each year every advisory elects a group captain to take over the adviser's duties when he is unable to be in school. These captains must be very reliable and accurate in order to carry on such duties as taking attendance, conducting meetings, doing all the general duties ot the adviser, and looking after the sub- stitute when he arrives. Every Monday morning in advisory, the bank cashiers handle the savings of those who are building up their school bank accounts. Membership in this school group encourages the acceptance of responsibility and aids in the devel- opment of the reliability so necessary to young leaders in our world today. BANK CASHIERS Row 1: I.

This organization meets every day during fourth period to play classical and novelty tunes. The members of this group are required to take lessons out of school from a private teacher, but they learn group co-operation in school. After one year of orchestra, each pupil receives one credit. Under the capable leadership of Mr. Lunkley, this assemblage works to in- crease music appreciation among its members. BAND Piccolo: D. Boker, I. Siblerud. Flute: B. Ammend, C. Bracchr, R.

When the band plays for games, it encourages the student body to cheer with more pep. This group meets every afternoon during fifth period for practice. Any student who is interested in music may join regardless whether he owns his own instru- ment. A student who is talented and learns quickly will be promoted from second to regular band according to Mr. Lunkley. BAND Trumpet: D. Alberico, C. Allison, B. Bergman, I. Burkness, S, Draqe, R.

The Iunior Choir at Edison meets during second and sixth periods under the direction of Miss Ferguson. Together they learn the tun- NB damentals of music and once a year the whole group presents a program tor the student body. America the Beautiful was one of the loveliest selections they sang during this year's assembly. The Choral Club, under the guidance of Mr. Sodergren, sings for many important events at school. Many of these are concerts and assemblies. March 29 was a big day for these singers as they appeared at Central High School in an assembly where they pre- sented three groups ot choral arrangements.

Students who are interested enough to go farther in music may join the Senior Choir in lOth grade for additional enjoyment ol music. The Nutcracker Suite was one ot the lovely musical ar- rangements the group gave in assembly this year. Pupils learn the real value of a choral group as they proceed farther into music, and perhaps the experience may help them to decide to go to college and study music tor a professional career.

Une of the most important aims of the French Club is the development of world friendship and understanding. Active participation in each meeting helps every pupil to become hetter acquainted with a foreign country and its different customs. The Latin Cluh's purpose is to encourage an appreciation of Roman culture tty our civilization. Each year the cluh's members take an important part in the language cluhs' Christmas party.

Helping the nurse, the counselors, the school office, and the visiting teacher are among their assignments. The girls are not only helpful to the school, hut they are also training for their future work in the lousiness world. The Edison stage crew is responsible for the necessary assistance given to all stage productions held in the auditorium. Under the direction of Mr. Bruning, faculty adviser, with R. Day and R. Gustafson as co-foremen, these boys are re- sponsible for the smooth running hackstage equipment, the operation of lights, and numerous jobs that are connected with the stage.

During the fourth hour, these volunteers make sure that the students in the lunchf room do not disturb those who are still in classes. Under the able direction of Mr. Ianes, who gives his valuable time to see that the rules are enforced, these guards carry out their duties efficiently. Because of the large enrollment at Edison, it has been necessary to work out up and down stairway regulations. Enforcement of these rules is the duty of the Stair Guards Who, under the guidance of Miss Erb, carry out this job to the best of their ability. Well-regulated traffic is the result of the directions given by these carefully chosen guards. S T A IR G U A R D S tier, G. Lind, G. Andkrson, D. Drusch, ning, Miss Erb, I.

Repairing radios and amplifying systems, making recordings, opera ating spotlights and public address systems, and running motion picture machines, are but a few of the useful duties performed by the members of this club. A re- cent, added responsibility is the complete control of our newly built Little Theater. The club this year sponsored several movies after school which students attended in fairly large numbers. l-lonor points leading toward letters and pins, are but a small way in which the school is able to pay back this helpful club.

After atten- dance is taken, the adviser reads the weekly bulletin which gives school news such as announcements of various club meetings, games, and assemblies during the coming week. Maybe Silver Tri or Seton Hi is having a special party. or the baseball game has been changed. Oh's and ah's are heard when two auditorium programs are scheduled. On Wednesdays the ambitious Student Council rep- resentative informs the group oi the latest matters discussed in the council's peppy meetings. A quiet hush falls over the room on the day the Record comes out. Frequently this relaxing period is spent chatting with friends, but more often it is used to get a quick glimpse of the day's assignments. Is that overdue book retumed? Are all books signed? Are they stuffed full oi papers? Hundreds of thoughts like these rush through our minds when locker inspection is sprung on us. Suddenly we are startled by a loud buzz.

Under the excellent leadership of Edison's able coaches, the students who participate in athletics leam the importance of sound health and fair play. These two characteristics are chief factors in developing so many champion- ship teams in recent years. In boys' athletics, all the other Minneapolis high school teams are rivals. Tennis, golf, baseball, track, football, basketball, swimming, hockey, and skiing -these strenuous games become daily routine for our boys. The girls are iust as active in their own way. but only basketball, golf, and swimming are inter-school sports. Field hockey, softball, and tennis--these are intra-mural. Edison has many famous athletes among its alumni. Some have had local fame while others are well known over the entire nation. We are as proud of them as we know they are nqffl proud of the good, clean , s A f. P KN methods of play still being r Q' 9 practiced at our school. f!

This year our Edison ski team entered two of the more popular inter-school meets, the State Tournament and the Moon Valley Greater Minneapolis Meet. ln the latter meet Edison, skiing against such tough competition as Break, came out in third place. The team is coached by Mr. Ludford who skis with the boys and helps them to develop winning form. Coach Ludford hopes to take a few meets next year with most of the team returning and with the addition of some new boys who have already worked with the team this season. The Tommy pucksters ended their season close to the bottom of the heap, but not without a game tight. The lack of well-seasoned letter men and the absence of spectator-enthusiasm brought us to a low of eighth place.

With a team composed almost entirely of lettermen from last year, this was a disappointment to everyone. The team lcept busy, however, Working out every day in the gym, and every- one said they would have made a good showing for themselves if they had par- ticipated in the meets. For the first time in quite a few years the Edison golf team went through to the city championship undefeated. Thanks to the excellent coaching of Mr. Lie- mohn, the team continued to win until they had collected the regional crown. The golfers lost the Twin City championship to St. Paul Central, but ended up in second place in the State Meet. GOLF TEAM Left to right: L. Olson, B. Hauck, I. Woryun, Mr. Liemohn. D. Flcxvin, B.

Cook Memo- rial Field. Edison track men also entered the events in the Metropolitan meet and the Carleton competitions. Track has a better following than some ot the individual sports because it involves larger teams. Edison's track team, coached by Harry Miller, had a good season in '49. The Triangular Relay Meet at Edison was won by our Cinder men with 96 V2 points. Henry and Marshall were our competitors. Showing the strength ot our track team in the St. Thomas Relay were Ed Bier, Dick Maczka, Duane Young, and lim Stephens. These tour boys set a new record ot 3 minutes 34.5 seconds in the mile relay. The tracksters suffered a severe loss due to the football accident in which Dick Keuser, our 440 man, broke his leg. Mr. Miller has hopes of another excellent team this year with Dave Gould who set a new sophomore record of 2 minutes and ll seconds tor the half mile last year, running with the regular team and with Bill Cotter, who gives promise ot being an outstanding man this season, working with the weights.

The team, coached by Mr. Mankowski, and led by co-captains Donn Foss and Neil Allen, made a tair showing tor themselves considering the late start they had in organizing and practicing. Tom Mahoney of the 'U', and Warren and Gordon Hesselroth of Hamline, all Edison graduates, helped coach the team and get them into shape. The results ot the meets were two won and tive lost. Edison won from Marshall 48 to lU and against West 48 to 8. ln the regional meet Pat Rainville and Neil Allen placed second, while Bill Luedke placed third, all three boys received medals. Because of weight restric- tions, Neil Allen was the only Edison boy allowed in the state meet, but he lost out in the first round after a tough fight. With this record in the first season, Coach Mankowski has high hopes ct a better team next season. Amid the shouts and cheers ot Edison students. lirnher Bill Neil Allen oi Edison wins the toss and chooses the top pon Luedke easily throws c tough opponent to gain points for the tion for the third tall.

State championship trophy The baseball team of l949 was the best the school has seen. Edison's only defeat was suffered to North at a score of 6 to 5. The Tommies, led by co-captains and hurlers for the team, Dick Danlc and lerry Cloutier, went all out to win the Northern League title, and the city title. Not satisfied with these two crowns, the team traveled to Duluth durinq the early summer months to collect the state title from Duluth Central, which qave them the triple honor they had been work' ing for. The 1950 season will find a team composed almost entirely of seniors, so great things are to be anticipated. BASEBALL TEAM Row 1: N. ltttiklurtd, P. Wuilml, A. Cybyffku, L. Schlwisntcln, I.

Your Serve! K. Manning returns a high one. Not too much is known about tennis as a competitive sport here at Edison, and this is due to the tact that we don't get out to watch the matches. Qur tennis team from last spring was made up ot juniors and seniors and was captained by a junior, Kenny Manning. The team members, according to Mr. Hamrin, coach ot the team, are all good players and put up a good offense. The team standings tor the season were tive won and tour lost, which isn't so bad considering that the boys have little or no support at almost every game. This practice of not at' tending tennis matches has been customary tor years and still our teams have made a showing. A Tag Day has been a tradition in our school tor a good many years. Proceeds trorn the sale ot blue and gold colored tags are used to support and supply equipment for the track, baseball, golt, and tennis teams. TENNIS TEAM w li l lliiztintilc, K M-iiinlnq, VV.

An Edison E is the major girls' sports award, and the letter girls are an inspiration to the other students. L E A D E R S H I P Girls who show outstanding ability in leadership and other qualities, are given the opportunity to develop these traits in a special class. ln this group they are taught the importance of phy- sical qualifications, such as appearance, and good health. Re- sponsibility, cooperation, and human interest also appear iirst on the list ot qualifications tor leadership. The girls use their training in gym classes where they not only help with equipment and routine organization but also give special help to members ot the class Where it is needed. Page lUl They're Champs! B O WLING Left to riqhlt l. Wfirlitil, M. Tflcliftrq, B. Andclsfvri, B. Fodiny, V. Miilfi Bowling requires good judgment, fast thinking, and smooth footwork. The one wrgetic girls who take howling as their gymnasium subject, play regular duck pin games. They learn all the elements of good bowling, including how to score. They finish off the season with exciting tournaments to determine the champions. Volloyluall is rapidly becoming an allfaround favorite sport for girls as well as boys. The older girls play according to the rules for boys while the junior high classes play according to girls' rules. This game can be highly scientific, as the plays and set-ups can be planned ahead. Cooperation from everyone on tho tcani is needed to accomplish such a game. VOLLEYBALL ow 1: if t.u.in- ni I.

The competition is limited to play-offs Within classes at Edison, but the girls learn the fundamentals of good baseball While they are members of teams. At present, golf is the only girls' sport which is played on an inter-scholastic basis. Eight high schools were entered in the last tournament. The Edison girls, under the careful instruction of Miss Barton, captured the city championship for the third straight year: in fact, they have never lost a match. ln recognition of their outstanding record, sterling silver golf pins were given to all the girls on the team.

Being classed as one of the fastest games in the world, it calls for active, limber players. A few of th i girls this year had the opportunity to be coached by Hugh Forgi, who has won international fame as a badminton player. This game, which can be played in the back yard, is also a favorite family sport. Speedball is a combination of basketball and soccer. However, it combines the techniques of other games as well, such as: the punt, drop kicking, and forward passing, as used in football. Speedball is played on a field one hundred yards long with a team of eleven players. As the popular season ot basketball comes around, girls enthusiastically par' ticipate in this sport, also. The rules and techniques of their games are similar to those of the boys. The intra-rnural system gives every girl an opportunity tw play on a tearri. The more highly skilled players compete against girls from other schools on an invitational and social basis.

The girls in this class are taught the rules ol the game at an early age, and when they reach the tenth and eleventh grades they are very familiar with the game, and often become quite skilled at it. ln the tennis class, girls are taught the fundamental hitting skills, and they spend at least tive-sixths ot the class time drilling on the torehand, baclchand, and serve. Every girl plays in a tournament at the end of the season, The tournaf ment winners, beginning this year, will have an opportunity to compete in inter- school tournaments. Folk dancing is the only co-recreational gym class at Edison. lt is made up largely ot eleventh grade students. This is the tirst year that it has been given during the school day as a regular subject. A group from this class partici' pated in the annual Vaudeville this year.

We hear it on the radio, we see it in movies, on television, on billboards, in store windows, in books, magazines, and newspapers, and even at carnivals and parades. It is everywhere about us and we cannot avoid it. Pretty pictures with snappy captions catch our attention many times while we are looking through magazines. On the radio there are tricky songs to make us listen to announcements. Windows have attractive displays to entice us to buy goods. Movies are heralded by colorful, showy ads. Not only in the outside world, but even in school we are influenced by ad- vertising. We choose certain subiects because a friend has recommended them as intriguing: we in tum tell others about them. Although we probably don't realize it, we are selling courses when we mention how much we liked them. The parade oi our school year is about to close. For a way to make a living or going on to school. Which- ever it is, we have to adver- tise ourselves so that we will not be left along the way but can step right into our places and keep pace the seniors it means finding O L with the world.
