Important To Students' Futures MEMBERS OF EDISON'S administrative staff work indus- triously to help students get the most out of their high school years. The paper work done by these people is vitally im- ,portant in making the school run smoothly. The counselors haid students in planning their futures, and, since the at- tendance and registration records are indispensible parts of the administrative department, the school could not function without its secretarial and bookkeeping offices. MRS. CALLIE ABBOTT Librarian MRS. LUCILLE GIBSON Secretary i 1 ONE OF THE necessary parts of any high school is its library. Edison is no exception. Hundreds of fiction, non- fiction, and reference books are available to all students and teachers. The library also affords peaceful surroundings for studying. Entertaining articles and current events may be found in the magazine section: facts and technical data, in the reference section. The library is also equipped to mend books that have been damaged or worn. MRS. LENA MAE ELLIOTT Head Librarian MRS, ALMA CAREY Librarian 13
