csDedi ti Lcauon Ice and snow in upstate New York do not compare with the winters in sunny Southern California. So de- cided Mr. Irvin Edell during the fall of 1946. This happy choice brought him to Sturges Junior High School. Mr. Edell was born in New Rochelle, New York and moved to Hempstead, Long Island before school age where he attended elementary, junior and senior high school. After teaching in Hempstead High School Mr. Edell entered the Air Corps during World War II, completed his training in Florida where he was also assigned to the Stars and Stripes, die Army newspaper, as a writer and went overseas to serve with the Allied forces in England. In 1945 he received an honorable discharge and began a new career in the advertising industry in New Yory city. In 1946 he realized that teaching was his vocation and returned to teach in Fallsburg, Ne York w here he remained for two years. After spending a year as a contraa substitute in San Bernardino where he had the opportimity to teach in all the junior high schools of the distria Mr. Edell chose Sturges as his school and has been here ever since, teaching eighth grade social living, sponsoring the Pan- ther annual and Sturges Star newspaper and many other student aaivities. Annuals under his sponsorship have won several first place awards in the Columbia Scholas- tic Press Association Contests. In 1958 the Panther won the coveted Medalist Award, for the best junior high school annual in the nation. Mr. Edell attended Long Island University and New York University. He holds a bachelors and a masters degree. He has also done post graduate work at Colum- bia University in New York City, the University of Redlands and Qaremont Graduate School. His hobbies keep him busy reading, playing chess, bicycling, work- ing in the woodshop and camping out in the summer- time on extended trips into the hinterlands of Arizona, New Mexico and California. During these trips he ex- pires the Indian cultures of the area. Sturges pupils have long known that they have a real friend in Mr. Edell. Many students have come to realize that his brusque manner serves to hide a loyal and tender heart. It can truly be said that he is never too busy to help a deserving student or fellow man. With great respect and in deep admiration, we the swdents and staff of Sturges Junior High dedicate this, the 1961 Panther, to a great humanitarian and teacher, Mr. Irvin Edell. Pag 5
