Explanation of Art Motive “y ECAUSE it was during our Senior year in High School that the nation paid its respects to Thomas Alva Edison, electrical genius, by commemorating with a “Golden Jubilee” his invention of the incandescent lamp, and because we, mindful of the great service which he has rendered ourselves and all mankind, feel toward him the deepest grati- tude and most profound respect, we have, with a view to honoring Mr. Edison in our own small way, chosen as the art motive of the 1930 De-O-Wain-Sta, that to which he, with intense zeal and untiring effort, has devoted himself so long, and has contributed so much— ‘Electric Lighting.”
