In addition the students become acquainted with American culture. Because all of the students arc not from the same country, everything is taught in English with no tran-lations.

We remember clearly the Homecoming show, the hour-long gossip sessions, and that first blast of winter. Holiday excitement filled the air at the Mistletoe Dance.

It offers a good education besides having a deeply involved student body, faculty, and community. This combination makes it a truly outstanding place. This is Mr. Grimstad's description of Edison, and for the past seven years he has made a great contribution to our school. Edison has improved since his arrival. During his time here, he has seen many changes in our building and in our curriculum which have resulted in increased and improved educational opportunities for our students. He believes that a quality program of education requires diverse opportunities in both its classroom and in extra-curricular activities; it also must prepare a person for the future and change. In his associations with the students, staff, and community, he has always placed a high value on fairness. With supportive attitudes like these he has served Edison faithfully. It is with mixed feelings and strong attachments to Northeast that Mr. Grimstad retires. He will remember most the good feelings that people here have for each other and for their school. One of the most outstanding moments in his career was coming to Edison. We. the students of Edison, in appreciation of his caring and service wish to dedicate the 1982 Wizard to Mr. Melvin Grimstad. It is not what he has. or even what he does, which directly expresses the worth of a man. but what he is. (Henri Frederic Anicl) 46 47 Mr. Melvin M.

This year’s season began with two very difficult tournaments. One was held at St. Anthony, and the other one at Bloomington Kennedy. After playing eight non-conference games in the tournaments, the season was half over before conference games started. The varsity team was led by captains Mary Riley and Sue Pasma, both juniors. Junior varsity's captains were Tracy Anderson, senior; Victoria Rutkicwicz, junior; and Barb Sporlcin, sophomore. It was a very young team, having only two seniors. The other senior was Lori Rassmusson. This year was considered to be boot-camp that will lead the team into next year. The season officially ended with the banquet at The Jolly Troll. Row I) Nt.

The varsity, only seven players strong, was coached by Jim Kottom, Because the team was small in number, it had to practice harder and play harder. This strong effort by the team showed that hard work docs pay off. Junior Varsity had more players but showed dedication by practicing and playing just as hard as the Varsity. 122 Row !: L.

In between found the band Marching in Detroit Lakes with a hard earned first place award. Litchfield, the 4th of July in Delano and the Minneapolis Aquatennial Parade. Practice, Practice, Practice! Those were the call words for the summer of 81. Five days a week from Five to Nine they practiced their talents until confidence overcame fatigue and excitement filled them in anticipation.

It was a challenge for Co-Captains Carolyn Gates and Diane Demers to develop a practice program. The flaglinc marched with the band in all the parades, which helped them achieve a high level of competency. With the start of school, the flagline became involved with all of the Marching Band activities. One of the most exciting days for them was to be part of “The World's Largest Marching Band. The flaglinc also sponsored “The Mistletoe Dance and “Flower Day. The 81-82 season was filled with many memorable moments, all of which will remain a part of each member of the squad. 4 Row I: Diane Ersbo.Sara Macko.Tcri Burns, Lynn Clem. Carolyn Gales.
