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.

Specialists Are Experienced bv- ',,,,,x MH. SAMUELSON Mrs. Blair cmd Mrs. Re-iidexnick. Mr. Paul A. 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
