FALL SEMESTER OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary Yell Leader Elmer Wait Teresa Baron Beatrice Brassen Joe Burke STUDENT BODY ASSOCIATION Each year for four years the Edison students have met twice a year to elect their leaders for the semester. The student body co-operation has been marvelous. Without the co-operation of the students, the hall or yard depart- ments Would be of little service. The officers of the student body have led us to higher standards and more complete success. Edison is now in many Ways a student self-govern- ing school. 4 The Work of our faithful officers has been of fine quali- ty and the least We can do is to .try to live up to the high standards that they have set for us. Since our school opened in February, 1926, Miss Frost has been the Very capable and popular faculty sponsor of the Edison Student Body Association.

THE ANNUAL PRINTERS When these Annual Printers printed your annual they made two pages at a time. That means that they fed a sheet of paper into the press 75 timesg the pictoral section required an extra printing for the orange background, and the eight art pages required three impressions each and the covers, inside and out, demanded four more press trips. This makes 103 impressions in all. But you know, there were 2000 other books made--206,000 times somebody's hands dipped into the press. At the same time another hand was putting a temporary sheet of scratch paper between the freshly printed sheets. ,Folding-what bliss-the Parent- Teachers Association bought us an automatic folding ma- chine, and now life's labors are lighter. But when it comes to assembling the 48 separate parts of the books the boys passed that over to senior girls. Stapling, trimming, and gluing completed three months of very intensiveactivity. Many of the boys worked not only during class period but during assembly, at noon, after school, and until late hours at night. Those who worked late, of course, came out with some money to spend for themselves. And for every minute of student's time spent, we should not forget the teacher-time that Went with it. Mr. Wells is the one we should thank for the excellent work in printing which has always characterized Edison Annuals. Lest someone think that so many fifty cent payments might mean a profit in this business of publishing our annual, just note some of the following figures. Our naner alone cost over 3400, and a little over S500 must go to the engraver who makes the cuts for all our pictures. Last year's linotyping cost was some 350. And so it goes. Page Forty-niwie

N 8 . X ,E X V . N . ' V IH- fn! I X I The Golden Circle is the youngest organization at Edison Junior High, and yet it is already one of the most vital ones. Ever since our school Was organized We have been looking forward to the time when we would organize some sort of a club for all the girls of the school, and our dream has now been realized. Three regular meetings have been held for the purpose of discussing the rules and regulations of the club. Splendid programs were given and Golden Circle meeting day is eagerly looked forward to. Every girl in school is a member of this club, and one representative from each homeroom belongs to the Inner Circle, which is the governing body of the Golden Circle. The Inner Circle chooses from its mem- bership the Council, which is one girl from each of the six grades.
