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.
