FACULTY who enjoys viewing and participating in all ath- letic events. Mr. Yusko received his B.S. Degree from Mansfield State Teachers College. If RUBY M. LEE seems to have a never-ending supply of apt mottoes, the reason is that she is a collector of them. Miss Lee received a B.S.

KROUSE, Chemistry teacher, has the tremendous responsibility of balancing our yearbook financial reports since he is Edsonian Business Staff Advisor. A Syracuse University graduate, LUELLA B.

To learn of the latest possible scienti- fic advances Mr. Finlay has studied under the General Electric Fellowship Program at Union College and the National Science Fellowship Program at Clarkson College of Technology. Since the world has grown smaller by the scientific advance of communications and transpor- tation, there is a great need for understanding the political and socio-economic situations of the peoples of many nations. Naturally, this under- standing is achieved much more easily if we are able to speak the languages peculiar to each country. Although we cannot leam all the lan- guages necessary for such an understanding, our adventures in a foreign language at least take us a step or two in the right direction. Five members are included in the Language Department of our school. An A.B. Degree from Elmira College is credited to MINNIE BALTIMORE, who enjoys sewing in her leisure time.

He received his education at the University of Innsbruck and holds the title of Lehramt Professor, For some of us the adventure in our American school lies in bringing the beauty of the world to the canvas. In the Art Department under the watchful eye of MURRAY P. MCKAIC we find ourselves developing a deepening appreciation for our world. We are learning to seek and find beauty in the most humble and most magnificent surroundings it can offer. Mr. McKaig is well qualified to guide us in our search for beauty since he received both his B.F.A. and M.F.A. Degrees from Syracuse University. Others of us spend much time learning to bring beauty and joy into the world through music. Drifting through our hallowed halls are the clear, strong voices of our vocal groups under the direction of JAMES B. MATSON, II, Mr. Matson came to us three
