For four years we have seen you strive as our Student Council sponsor to sculptor us into independent and socially alert citi- zens. Before we came to Miami Edison you were here patiently working for the future of others, and efficiently directing student activities. We will not forget these efforts. The world is very, very large, our Edison is very, very little in comparison. But we will remember Edison, and so we cannot forget Miss Mott, for you constitute a big piece of that Edison. We can pay no lottier tribute than that of always having a niche for you in the memories of our Alma Mater.

May we, when life's sun is sinking Down the western sky, Still keep faith with Alma Mater, With dear Edison High. xx 2?
