During the magic weekend of Homecoming there was a Time for every¬ thing: a Time to laugh and a Time to weep; a Time to win and a Time to lose; a Time for stillness, a Time for joy; a Time for leaving, a Time for returning; a Time for work, a Time for play; a Time to think, a Time to watch; a Time to cheer, a Time to dance; a Time to remember, a Time to be proud. Homecoming held a special significance for everyone. The joy of victory was reflected in the cheering crowd that watched our Eagles win their football game. Homecom¬ ing meant laughtemand tears as the return¬ ing graduates of 1964 were reunited with school and friends, in a Time of stillness at the Homecoming Dance, the Homecoming Queen was crowned. Homecoming, 1964 was a special Time— a Time to remember always—and a Time to be proud of Edison High School.

ROBINSON Principal A man very dedicated to Edison ' s student body and to education in general is Mr. Woodrow T. Robin¬ son, our principal. Students, faculty, and community citizens have become increasingly proud of the growth of Edison High under his leadership. Although it is necessary for the principal to attend frequent meet¬ ings with the assistant principals, guidance officers, and faculty members, as well as county officials and other principals, Mr. Robinson gives special attention to every facet of school life, particularly to the student. Even with his rushed schedule, he finds time to take a personal interest in any student who comes to him. for advice or discussion. He believes in taking a posi¬ tive attitude toward every phase of education for both students and teachers alike. Mr. Robinson is a graduate of Emory and Henry College, and obtained his Master ' s Degree from Duke University. Through his previous experience as a teacher, athletic coach, and principal, Mr. Robinson has become closely associated with students and their problems, and Edison has greatly benefited from his attempts to make Edison High a superlative and representative school. 14 Miss Charlotte Zeigler was once again a valuable asset to the student body at Edison through her work as Assistant Principal for Instruction. Through her past experience as Director of Guid¬ ance, Miss Zeigler has gained and exhibits a great understanding of students, their abilities and problems. As Supervisor of Instruction, Miss Zeigler observes classes, assists in the selection of class materials and in the planning of the school curriculum. She feels that the curriculum is determined by MISS CHARLOTTE ZEIGLER Assistant Principal for Instruction the students and their needs. One of Miss Zeigler ' s contributions to the curriculum was the World Literature course introduced this year. She says, I would like to see a program of studies established which would be so diversified that there would be something in it for every student, thus motivating him to learn. In order to achieve this goal Miss Zeigl er works in close cooperation with the guidance personnel. Miss Zeigler is very interested in students and enjoys the contact with students she has in working with the Inter-Club Council reviewing pro¬ posed club activities. Miss Zeigler is personally interested in helping students who seek her advice, and she is personable and easy to talk to. Edison is proud and appreciative of Miss Zeigler ' s enthusiasm and at¬ tempts to make Edison a better school. A woman ' s work is never done. Miss Zeigler spends long hours working in her office. Mr. Alan Beamer has been the Assistant Principal for Administration since the doors of Edison High first opened. His responsibilities are many and varied: caring for school inventory and maintenance, repair of the school building, management of bus trans- 0 ' % portation, student discipline, and the public address system. Although Mr. Beamer frequently attends con¬ ferences and assists Mr. Robinson, the majority of his work is directly concerned with Edison ' s students. Mr. Beamer considers the student one of his main interests. Exempli¬ fying his belief that young people should get the most out of their high school years, he counsels students on how to profit most from their high school experiences. He wants stu¬ dents to gain a good education while in high school and to retain many fond memories of their years here. After his graduation, from Cali¬ fornia State Teachers College, Mr. Beamer came to George Washington University to do graduate work. Through his experiences and counsel¬ ing, he tries to show students the im¬ portance of being a good school citi¬ zen, thus preparing him to be an asset to society. Mr. Beamer is a staunch supporter of both Edison and of the student body. No, Mr. Beamer, you can ' t stop time. ' 15 Guidance Department Administers SCAT, STEP, MRS. EMILY ATKINS Alexandria, Va. Guidance Secretary MRS. RAE DAVIS Worcester, Mass. A.B., Clark U. M.Ed., Boston U. Eleventh Grade Counselor Guidance is recognized as a developmental and contin¬ uous process that is composed of those organized services in the school which enable students to make wise decisions in solving their educational, vocational, and personal prob¬ lems. It is an integral part of the school organization. Be¬ cause students needs vary at different age levels, the area of emphasis varies accordingly. The key purpose of the Guidance services at Edison is to help students understand themselves, their capabilities and their goals through the assessment of interests, aptitudes, and achievements. This enables the students to solve their own problems independently and to make wise adjustments and choices. The Guidance Department also takes care of send¬ ing transcripts and other data for college bound seniors. In striving to achieve its goal, the Guidance Department works and cooperates with students, faculty members, par¬ ents and when appropriate, resource personnel and agencies. MR.

Front Office Secretary MRS. EVELYN SPINK Knoxville, Tenn. Mr. Robinson ' s Secretary Office Secretaries and Helpers Assist Administration and Students The student locater in the office proves to be a great help to office helper Kathy Kelley. Much of Edison ' s efficiency is due to the efforts of the Of¬ fice Secretaries. Mrs. Buscher, the Front Office Secretary, answers phones, channels calls, checks attendance, and keeps close watch on the comings and goings of students by issuing admittance passes and checking out early dismissals. She is aided in these responsibilities by student office assistants. Financial Secretary Mrs. Janes handles all of Edison ' s mone¬ tary transactions, as well as those of all school organizations, which she keeps on file in her off ice. Mindful of the imp ortance of promptness, neatness, and de¬ pendability, Mrs. Spink spends many busy hours diligently working as Mr. Robinson ' s secretary. She handles all adminis¬ trative matters and the correspondence of the principals. The Office Secretaries have many responsibilities and full schedules, and the result of their efforts is exemplified in the smooth functioning of Edison High School. One of the daily tasks that Joyce Elder performs is to check the validity of excuses. 18 Edison’s School Bank Instills Value of Dollar in Students Nearly five hundred students at Edison are members of the school ' s convenient and ef¬ ficient banking system, which is a branch of the Virginia Savings and Loan Association in Springfield. The Thrifty Eagle ' s Nest operates on the same system as a regular savings bank, and it pays four per cent divi¬ dends guarterly. Eleven student bank tellers, supervised by faculty sponsors Mrs. Riley and Mrs. Thomp¬ son, keep bank records in order, make finan¬ cial reports, and take care of all deposits and withdrawals. The school bank has proved to be an ex¬ cellent means by which students may develop the habits of saving and budgeting money for future years and purposes. I wonder where he got that much money to deposit, thinks student teller Judy Leight. IBM Proves to Be Definite Asset to School At report card time, the IBM room is the teachers ' best friend. It performs an invaluable service to the school by making out the report cards, schedules, rolls, attendance lists, student permanent records, and the honor roll. The work that used to consume so much of the teachers ' limited time is now being done by the IBM machines, giving the teachers more free time. There are three machines—one punches holes, one sorts, and the other prints. All three machines are rented by the school. This type of installation will not work without complete co-op¬ eration from everyone con¬ cerned. Although the IBM system Is still in the experimental stage for use in the school in a few years the system will have be¬ come nearly infallible. MRS. ROBERTA GESSERT Menomonee Falls, Wis.

It is a long trek from Algebra I to analysis, but those students wishing to enter the intriguing world of mathematics profit by the new concepts intro¬ duced in the Math Department. This year, Modern Math is not used completely, but its revolutionary concepts are used to enhance the more traditional method of study. Algebra I, geometry, and Algebra II are highly recommended for every college-bound student, and much more advanced courses such as matrix algebra, functions, calculus, and analysis are offered for those who maintain at least a C average in the earlier courses. With Mr. Allee as Head, the Mathematics De¬ partment has as its primary objective to give all stu¬ dents a basic understanding of the concepts of mathematics and its innumerable uses and functions in the modern world.

Earth Science, Biology 22 Students of science at Edison are fortunate to have a widely-varied curriculum and excellent facilities, such as the modern laboratories and planetarium. The Science Department, of which Mr. Sutton is the chairman, has been divided into six courses. Ninth grade students may study earth science, which introduces astronomy, geology, oceanography, clima¬ tology, and physical geography. Both Traditional and B.S.C.S. Biology survey the various fields of biology from the environmental and de¬ velopmental viewpoint, although B.S.C.S. Biology stresses the indi¬ vidual student project and the development of laboratory technigues. Traditional Chemistry involves the study of composition, properties, and changes in mat¬ ter. Its counterpart, Chem Study, closely re¬ lates classroom with laboratory work, and terminates with a technical study of atomic structure. P.S.S.C. Physics consists of four interconnected parts. Part I is a general in¬ troduction to the fundamentals of physics; Part II examines the study of light; Part III is the study of motion, its dynamics and forces; and Part IV introduces the student to electricity and the physics of the atom. Each of the six courses demands labora¬ tory work. A student entering each course will depend upon his previously studied courses and his future academic reguire- ments. The Science Department attempts to help the student to reason and analyze and to gain an understanding of scientific concepts. The variety of courses offered gives students an insight into the whys and wherefores of the earth and universe. MR. DUBOIS REDDEN Athens, W. Va. B.S., Concord College General Science MRS.

Probably the mainspring of all instruction at Edison High School di¬ rected toward the development of future citizens is that found in the English Department. The powers of comprehension, of written ex¬ pression, and of effective oral expression, obtained through the study of the diverse facets of English are of an immeasurable value to all students in any career they choose. The English Department offers courses in English, advanced composition, drama, public speaking, and world literature which was introduced this year. The four required years of English are scheduled to create an inter¬ esting and enjoyable series. Freshman English is basically grammar w ith supplements of literature; sophomores have a more intensive, similar course of study. In the junior and senior classes the pace and depth of the English program increases, with extensive studies of American and English literature respectively. Panel discussions, de¬ bates, and written projects are included in the curriculum. Again this year, seniors were given the opportunity to take special college preparatory courses. Advanced composition encourages cre¬ ative thought and writing. The selected seniors taking World Litera¬ ture review all types of literary works, concentrating on styles, con¬ cepts, and themes. Freshman Dramatics is an interpretative course, while Drama concerns theater principles and production. Still another area of English is public speaking. The public speaking book used at Edison is a college-rated text, making this course one of the most intensive in the English Department. These courses not only develop refined and cultured habits which may enrich students ' later lives, but they also instill in students the qualities of understanding and adequate expression that are associated with well-informed citizens of our time. 24 On Mondays Mrs. Turner ' s senior English classes form panels and discuss Book Week.

All students entering Edison are advised to take advantage of the extensive facilities of the Foreign Language Department. Con¬ tinued use of the Audio-Lingual Method of study was subordinated by extensive use of the well-equipped language laboratory. Any student is eligible to start any of the foreign languages offered: French, l-V; German, l-lll; Spanish, l-IV; and Latin, l-lll. However, students failing to maintain a C average are not advised to continue to the more advanced courses. Under the supervision of Mr. Glen Hinton, Department Head, the Language Depart¬ ment attempts to help students learn a lan¬ guage in such a way that it can be practi¬ cally applied. Some history and culture is in¬ cluded in each course to introduce the stu¬ dent to different peoples and different ways of life. 26 M rs.

U.S. History, Economics, Sociology A knowledge of the histories, geographies, and governments of other nations as well as our own is important to Americans in today ' s strife-filled world. At Edison, students can further their knowledge of social studies by taking world history, world geography, U.S. his¬ tory, government, sociology-economics, and psychology. Juniors in American history courses utilized movies, textbooks, stu¬ dent reports, and debates to review the events and ideologies which have shaped American society. Meanwhile, as world history students traveled the centuries from the cradles of civilization to the space age, those enrolled in the world geography courses roamed the globe studying the terrain and its in¬ fluence on social and cultural patterns of life. From government courses seniors acquired an appreciation of the complicated workings of our government. These classes and some of the history students had the opportunity to see the movie The Making of the President , based on Theodore H. White ' s Pulitzer Prize-win¬ ning book about the I960 presidential election. The sociology-economics course was again offered to upperclass¬ men only, introducing them to the principles and problems of eco¬ nomics in the modern, complex world society. These Wall Street geniuses chose stocks to buy and they kept careful records of their progress. This provided an excellent opportunity to study the workings of the stock market. Psychology classes dealt with the individual and his needs in society. The lessons these courses teach are invaluable to a student if he is to have a thorough understanding of today ' s world.

Continuing his third year as Director of Edison ' s Band, Mr. George Duman has guided the Band in its many successes. Practices during the summer vacation were rewarded when the Band received several awards and other recognition. How little would the football games have meant without the rousing support of the Band ' s music! The impressive black- and-white uniforms also added to the Thanksgiving, Veterans ' Day, and various other activities. The Band aroused school spirit in pep rallies throughout the year. The Concert Band played overtures and accompaniment to both Masquers pro¬ duction, You Can ' t Take It With You and Oklahoma. To raise money for instruments and uniforms, the Band spon¬ sored a Tag Day for its Winter Concert in December. In Febru¬ ary, outstanding members of Edison ' s Band participated in the All-State Band Competition. Other successful concerts were presented in March and May, and Edison was host to t he an¬ nual Northern Virginia Band Festival in May. There are four parts to Edison ' s Band; the Concert or Sym¬ phonic Band, the Reserve Band, the Marching Band, and the Pep Band. The members of the Band continued to add prestige and pride to Edison ' s name during the year 1964-65. MR GEORGE DUMAN Baltimore, Md. B.M., Peabody Conservatory Band Director Mr. Duman directs the band as they strive to develop better musicianship. 30 What ' s this? Doesn ' t he direct the Band? Chorus Encourages Appreciation Through Singing Chorale, mixed choruses I and II, freshman girls ' chorus, and the treble choir constitute integral parts of Edison ' s chorus. This year Mr. Catlett, the choral director, selected thirteen members of the chorale to form an extracurricular group, the ensemble, which served as a madrigal singing group and performed at functions both in and out of school. The chorus ' Fall Concert was a great success, as were the Christmas, Spring, and Easter Concerts. The chorus also participated in many assemblies during the year. The Festival of Fine Arts, held in the spring, was a first, not only at Edison, but in Fairfax County. Sponsored jointly by the Art, Drama, and Music Departments, the Festival included a full week of activities during May. Selected members of the chorus participated in the spring musical Oklahoma, and in All-State Chorus in the s P nn 3’ The chorus completed a year of many activities and much hard work with an inspiring salute to the graduating class at the Com¬ mencement Exercises in June. The tribute to the Class of ' 65 will re¬ main with each graduating senior as a grand finale to his high school career. MR. DOYLE CATLETT Williamsport, Md.

Ability, interest, and ambition are the requirements for a student to enter the Art Department at Edison. The art stu¬ dent can explore painting, sculpture, and drawing among the many and varied fields of art. Each of these areas is broadened by the use of various media and techniques. The students are taught skills with unique as well as conventional materials such as watercolor, tempera, charcoal, pencil, ink, and clay. Among its other achievements, the Art Department has added beauty and color to the school with its attractive bulletin boards and library exhibits. The goals of the Art Department are to develop skills in all art media-and to teach the student to appreciate the beauty of the world around him. In at¬ tempting to attain these goals, the Art Department sponsored the Art Guild and a field trip to New York City. Neatness is not one of an artist ' s virtues. MRS. DOROTHEA MONK Alexandria, Va.

Home Economics I Home Economics Imparts a Working Knowledge of Domestic Skills The home is the most important of all institutions in America today. From the time the founders of our na¬ tion landed, the role of the American homemaker has been glorified. Today her role has broadened to include an active participation in social and community affairs, as well as the affairs of her own home and family. At Edison, a home economics course is offered which prepares girls for their many roles as homemakers. Through this course they learn the basic skills of cook¬ ing, sewing, housekeeping, child care, home nursing, personal grooming, and social adjustment. This year, another course was added to the tradi¬ tional four-year economics program—a Senior Home¬ making course, one for upperclass girls only. This sub¬ ject requires no prerequisite, and offers seniors a more general plan of study, concentrating on the problems of married life. Home economics will prove to be valuable to every girl who takes it whether she becomes a homemaker or not, for the feminine skills are important to every woman. MRS. BLONNIE STROUD Sims, N.C.

Here students learn basic skills which will be useful to them when they re¬ ceive the responsibility of maintaining and developing their own homes. Mr. Bausch, as department head, supervised all the functions of the department. The major aim of the Industrial Arts De¬ partment is to equip students with skills which will enable them to fill responsible positions in business and industry, and to aid them in developing an understanding of industry. Through this understanding a student de¬ velops his social relationships and creative abilities, and is provided with both voca¬ tional and avocational experiences. Industrial Arts teaches students to deal with the prob¬ lems resulting from the industrial and techno¬ logical society of today. uui in L CI I i (JU I 3 MR. JOHN McFEATURE Telford, Tenn. B.S., E.

Department Head Varsity Cheerleaders Nine hundred nine¬ ty-nine thousand, nine hundred ninety- nine — one million Edison ' s physical education classes not only stressed sportsmanship, but they also provided variety in the student ' s daily curriculum. By pro¬ viding an outlet for surplus energy, they were a vital factor in forming an educational program devoted to the development of the body as well as the mind. In the freshman year activities were centered around such team sports as basketball, volleyball, field hockey, softball, and soccer. These classes met twice a week, with a third day allotted for mass activity with other classes. The remaining two days were spent in the classroom for the study of first aid and driver education. Sophomores, too, alternated between classroom and physical ac¬ tivity, but at this level students participated in more individual sports in addition to the conventional program of seasonal sports and calis¬ thenics. They were offered a comprehensive health program, concen¬ trating on personal hygiene, mental health, drugs, and tobacco. A time to compete. 36 Given to Students in Autumn and Spring Physical education for upperclassmen, an elective course, consisted of five active periods a week, when students participated in archery, badminton, tennis, gymnastics, and track and field. This year, with the aid of two student teachers and additional facilities, physical education caused students to appreciate the importance of both physical fitness and per¬ sonal health in their lives.

Shorthand students hurriedly College and Career Bound Students The world of business requires well-trained people to fill its ranks. They must be adept in handling office equipment as well as skilled in the latest methods of business management. The demanding field of office administration requires that a person who desires a career in this particular field have a broad and thorough training. Students who plan to enter the business field will find prepa¬ ration in high school greatly beneficial in their later careers. To aid in this preparation, commercial courses are offered for the training of future secretaries, business managers, bookkeep¬ ers, and accountants. Such courses include typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, business math, personal typing and notehand, and clerical and secretarial office practices. In addition to office management, cooperation with others is also stressed in these classes. Through the well-planned business program at Edison, a student acquires the basic foundation for his career in the busi¬ ness profession.

M Distributive Education is a program in which students at¬ tend school in the morning and in the afternoon work in whole¬ sale, retail, or service occupations. The goal of this program is to introduce students to the fields of distribution and retail¬ ing. The only requirements to take the course are that students be sixteen or older and that they have their parents ' consent. Students must also work fifteen hours a week for practical ex¬ perience. Students of the D.E. program are members of the D.E.C.A. or Distributive Education Clubs of America. Throughout the year the department sponsored field trips to department stores and manufacturing plants. Through the study of salesmanship, mathematics, advertising, human relations, and merchandising, Distributive Education students receive an excellent prepara¬ tion for future careers. Clerical Office Practice, or C.O.P., is very similar to Voca¬ tional Office Training. The difference lies in the fact that C.O.P. is an elective for seniors only, requiring them to have had Typing I and II, basic business subjects, and business math. The goal of C.O.P. is to integrate all school learning into one marketable skill. MR. RONALD KEATON Annandale, Va. B.S., Marshall U. D. E.

Prepare Students for Future Careers MR. JAMES ROSS Springfield, Va. B.S., Shipprensburg State College V.O.T. Dear John . . types Marsha Wray on her electric typewriter. The Industrial Cooperation Training Program encom¬ passes all of the industrial skills: auto mechanics, data processing, building maintenance, cosmetology, com¬ mercial arts, and radio and T.V. repair. This department is not operated on the unit system but rather as an individual study program. The goal of the department is to encourage students to develop craft skills. Juniors and seniors at least sixteen years old, preferably with some background knowledge, are qualified to study under this plan. Aside from the individually supervised study exercise, the pupil also receives on the job training in the afternoon after three hours of classes in the morning at Edison. Vocational Office Training prepares interested students for jobs in local retail stores by giving them actual working experience. Students of the V.O.T. program attend school for three hours per day and then spend the remainder of the day gaining ' on the job experience. The pupils receive salaries and good jobs through this program. The V.O.T. classroom actually resembles an office, con¬ taining machines such as calculators, adding machines, mimeoscope, duplicators, transcribers, stencil machines, and typewriters. Some students also receive I.B.M. training. MR. SAMUEL DAKE Cordell, Okla. B.A., Pacific Union College M.A., U. of Md. I.C.T. Mr. Dake watches to be sure his I.C.f. students understand their work. I This is one test that’s hard to fail; Mrs. Peppe tests Linda George ' s hea ring. Clinic Continues to Serve Both School and Community Mrs. Peppe was again in charge of Edi¬ son ' s clinic this year. The clinic ' s extensive health program included audio, visual, and dental testing, and height and weight checks aside from the daily duties of caring for stu¬ dents who become ill while at school. Edi¬ son ' s clinic works in conjunction with several others: orthopedic, speech and hearing, im¬ munization, and consultation and evaluation. The girls assisting Mrs. Peppe gained use¬ ful medical experience by taking tempera¬ tures and applying medications for scratches and abrasions. The girls also performed such tasks as making beds, answering phones, and recording such data as the result of the dental, audio, vusual, and tuberculosis checks. Through Mrs. Peppe ' s extensive medical train¬ ing and the service of the student assistants, the clinic has become one of the most valu¬ able services in the school.

As soon as the library doors open at 7:30 A.M., students begin to browse through the shelves, to check out books and to do research for school projects. The library was faced with a new problem this year—a requirement of a minimum of five books per student. This project will require about $20,000. Students can keep up to date on current events in three daily newspapers and more than one hundred magazines. The faculty room prov ides many professional magazines and books specifically for the teacher ' s use. Assisting the two librarians, Mrs. Carlton and Miss Hughes, are twenty-two students. These assistants work one period a day and are busy doing circulation work at the desk, clerical work, typing, shelving books, and distributing and maintaining audio-visual materials. MRS.

He is that combination of dedication, understanding, and knowledge—a combination which endears him to his students. The teacher ... .is up at six and at school by eight . . . helps the student to discover himself . . . sacrifices holiday weekends to grade projects yet assigns detention as if it were going out of style. He swells with pride when his C student produces an A , and supports school functions readily, sometimes by postponing tomorrow ' s test because of the basket¬ ball game. He tries to understand his student ' s problems . . . seems to always find it necessary to walk down the wrong side of the hall . . . thinks that faculty meetings are truly interesting. The teacher recalls his own high school days with a smile and yet is unsympathetic when someone forgets his excuse; his make-up tests are twice as hard as the original. A teacher is all of this wrapped in an ever-enduring package of devotion to both his students and his profession.

Pres.; Gayle Wrobleski, Pres.; Marilyn Bishop, Treas. The world of high school can be bewildering and frus¬ trating to the beginner, but this year ' s Freshman Class, 600-strong, adapted rapidly. They immediately elected a group of officers, headed by Gail Wrobleski, and pro¬ ceeded to plan such activities as bake sales and dances. The commencement of high school was an unforgettable experience for Edison ' s Class of ' 68.

With the guidance of Mrs. Dees, the Juniors gave the Seniors a memorable prom in the Persian Room of the Marriott Motel. At the beginning of the year, the Junior Class held tv o success¬ ful informal dances featuring the Roaches. Although the Junior girls were defeated 12-6, they gave the Senior girls excellent competition in the Powder Puff Football Game.

The Class of ' 65, Edison ' s second graduating class, was characterized by a keen sense of leadership, acceptance of responsibility, and the establishment of many novel and idealistic traditions. The construction of a Senior Court was the prime objective of this year ' s class. Work on the Court commenced at the beginning of the year, soon after the term began, and at the end of the session, was a sight to be enjoyed by MRS. TURNER, Class Sponsor all of Edison ' s future seniors. Another of the Class ' major projects was the adoption of a little Colum¬ bian girl through the Foster Parents Plan. Maria Isabel Acosta lives in a depressed section of Bogota, and the money sent to her by Edison ' s Seniors will supply her with new clothes, food, and many things she could not have formerly afforded. Other activities during the year included the Senior Swim Party in January, a field trip to the movie, Lord Jim , production of the Exit-Us, the class newspaper, the Senior-Junior Powder Puff Football Game, in which the Seniors were victorious, the presentation of an impressive assembly at Thanksgiving, and the Senior Class trip to New York in the spring. The majestic and inspirational Baccalaureate cere¬ mony in June gave many Seniors incentive for future accomplishments. And the solemn hour of gradua¬ tion at the Commencement Exercises on June I I, remained in the memory of each Senior as a poign¬ ant tribute to his membership in the Class of ' 65. 92 JOHN ADUDDELL John Latin Club, 10, II; Baseball, J.

SMITH STEPHENS FREDERICK HALL JANET ELAINE MARSHALL A Government book, term paper notecards, and a class ring mark an Edison senior. There are some seniors who are especially, talented or work especially hard tor academic recog¬ nition. A member of the Top Ten is a student; a pupil who does just a little extra than the nightly assignment, and one who feels a sense of fulfillment in academic achievement. Many of these students find time to participate in activities and usually fill positions of leadership. With each grading period, class rank is subject to change. Between publication of the yearbook, and June 12, 1965, these students may rank in different order. The students pictured are for that reason not ranked. A high school contains a vast colage of pupils, but here we wish to honor students. CAROLE SUZANNE VILLARD PAULH.

This year, the talk finally stopped, plans were drawn up, and action was taken. In late October, the digging began and gradually the Senior Court began to take shape. When cold weather set in, the work ceased with the promise that spring would bring about renewed effort and ultimate completion. The court has. a wide walkway of brick in an in¬ teresting basket-weave pattern, which divides in the center to surround a colorful Japanese garden. Cement benches, which are placed along the walk¬ way and throughout the court, afford students the welcome opportunity to stop and chat. Dogwood and crabapple trees, evergreen shrubs, and brilliant flowers have been planted to enhance the beauty and appeal of the Senior Court. This court provides a much-needed addition to the list of Senior Privileges as it is for the use and enjoyment of Seniors only. In addition to providing a place for individuals to pass leisurely moments, the court provides an exclusive site for class ac¬ tivities. fi m KtV I ini: m mm m $ ms- m: THERE IS A TIME FOR SOME THINGS, AND A TIME FOR ALL THINGS; A TIME FOR GREAT THINGS, AND A TIME FOR SMALL THINGS. Cervantes ACTIVITIES 141 SCA Sponsors Drive for Exchange Student in ’66 DAVID LOVERN, S.C.A. President MR. WEDLOCK, S.C.A. Sponsor The Student Cooperative Associa¬ tion of Edison endeavors to promote cooperation between the student body and faculty of the school. It also at¬ tempts to make every student feel he is an integral part of the school fhrough the many activities it sponsors. During its third year of existence, the S.C.A. proved to be one of the most valuable and active of the school ' s or¬ ganizations, establishing many prece¬ dents that greatly benefited, and in some cases, became a definite part of the school curriculum. The newly-elected S.C.A. officers be¬ gan during the summer months to plan the events and committees so that ac¬ tivity could commence with the open¬ ing of school on September 4. One of the first S.C.A. organizations to take action was the Inter-Club Coun¬ cil, a group composed of the leaders of all school organizations. At I.C.C. meetings, these representatives dis¬ cussed school problems and coordi¬ nated school activities. The Newcom¬ ers ' Committee, a group whose main project is student orientation, held nu¬ merous aft er-school dances to help stu¬ dents acquaint themselves with the school and each other. The Student Ad¬ visory Committee was initiated this year, an organization which resolved to help students solve their persona! problems. The S.C.A. sponsored two Ameri¬ can Field Service Weeks to introduce the student body to the prospect of financing a foreign exchange student for the 1965-66 session. The Buildings and Grounds Committee was organized to help beautify the school, and the second issue of the school handbook, the Edison Edict, was published. The climax of the autumn activities was Homecoming Weekend, for which the S.C.A. sponsored the Homecoming Dance, and the floats display during the game halftime. The Yuletide season brought many activities at Edison, among them, the S.C.A. ' s annual Christmas semiformal, the elegant Christmas Enchantment Dance. The S.C.A. also sponsored a Christmas Tree Sale which was quite successful. During the spring months, the S.C.A. held a dance with the Athletic Depart¬ ment, featuring the Chartbusters. In February the S.C.A. officers attended a Leadership Training Conference, and held one at Edison in March. Elections of the new S.C.A. officers were held after whirlwind campaigns in May. The year ' s activities culminated with the annual school carnival, La Fete , held in May, which brought a final touch of success fo the S.C.A. s 1964-65 session. r—m HOMEROOM REPRESENTATIVES: First Row: Steve Bray, Marilyn Payr e, Marilyn McKinney, Pat Johnson, Janis Nichols, Jessica Hall, Cindy Fowler, Cyndee Simmons, Rita Bible, Susan Tingley, Bonnie Curry, Barbara Leone, Butch Bantoi}.

Activities of the club included a field trip to a professional processing labo¬ ratory and a photography expedi¬ tion. Another new organization at Edison is the Amateur Radio Club. Sponsored by Mr. Ross, the club members hope to ' further their knowledge and interest in radio technology. A time of achievement.

Debate Team Makes Clean Sweep in First Match Resolved: that nuclear weapons should be controlled by an international or¬ ganization. This controversial statement was this year ' s topic for discussion by the various debate teams in the area. Edison ' s debaters improved their ability by attending workshops at George Washington University and the University of Virginia, and later tournaments at George Washington University and American University. Mr. Lawler, debate sponsor, and the team members define the pur¬ pose of debate existence as the development of the skills of public speaking and logical thinking. The exceptional debaters on Varsity and J. V. attained this goal through a successful year, scoring numerous victories, among them Woodson, Mount Vernon, and George Washington High Schools.

Opening the school year with a faculty tea and a deluge of spirit- promoting voodoo dolls, Keyettes also helped with the Fairfax Hospital Bond Issue, Voter Registration, Cerebral Palsy and Kidney Fund Associations. At Christmas the girls made dolls for nearby hospitals and held a tea-dance for the alumni, the school benefiting from their help in the li¬ brary and contributions to the American Field Service. A convention in March climaxed the 1964-65 session for the Keyettes. Kathy Keller exhibits Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls made by Carol Knapp tor the Keyettes Christmas project.

One of the most active clubs at Edison is Masquers Theater Honorary Society. It seemed that the curtain had barely rolled down on one successful production before another one was in the making. Masquers themselves love it, though. They love the competition of tryouts, the thrill of being chosen for the cast, the late, sometimes very late, hours of rehearsal, the air of excitement and nervousness on opening night, and those final few moments of applause that make it all so very worthwhile. Under the sponsorship and direction of Mrs. Greenlee, Masquers ' activities included the farcical comedy, You Can ' t Take It With You, presented in November. Febru¬ ary brought a sparkling Variety Show. This was a busy time of the year, for the club was preparing for an entry in the One-Act Play Festival, in March. The crowning event of the year offered the drama and song of Rogers ' and Hammerstein ' s Oklahoma! , and the season wound up with a dramatic presentation in Edison ' s first schoolwide Fine Arts Festival. For the graduating members, one of their fondest memories of Edison will be their par¬ ticipation in Masquers. MRS. MARY B. GREENLEE— Sponsor and play director.

Hours of work, minutes of rest, moments of laughter and a year of fulfillment constitute the sacrifices and rewards for the yearbook staff. Time is measured in units called deadlines, and the minutes of rest are few and far between. Our yearbook is not made only by the students who make up the staff but by every student at Edison High School. Each student is represented, and for each the book holds special memories. The clubs they join, the classes they attend, their teachers and friends are all captured in a book we have named The Talon. To the staff members and editors this year has been one of work and final reward. Each editor is in charge of a specific segment of the whole annual, and group cooperation unifies separate pages into a representa¬ tion of one year . . . 1964-65. Time moves swiftly on, but Edison ' s students can always look back to this year and retrace the times that were . . . anticipate the times to be at Edison High School.

Over 2 3 of the student body subscribed jointly to the Current and the other student publications. The Current staff was divided into eight different staffs: photogra¬ phy, news and features, exchange, circulation, typing, business, copy and rewrite, and layout. The photography staff was responsible for taking the many pictures which enhance the various newspaper articles. The news and feature staff covered all the major school activities and reported them in the Current. All correspondence with other schools was the responsibility of the exchange staff. The Current business staff took care of all monetary transactions.

Achieve Worthwhile Product The Current editorial staff sponsored a workshop for those inter¬ ested in learning the techniques of newspaper reporting. Both Current reporters and other prospective journalists profited by this training. The knowledge and previous experience of Mr. Mika, the Current ' s sponsor, was an integral factor in the success of the newspaper. Nancye Giampapa and Joy Brinkman also made valuable contribu¬ tions with the instruction they received as representatives to the S.I.P.A. Convention in May, 1964. Among the articles featured were student polls on various contro¬ versial subjects, editorials, student spotlights, and accounts of major school activities. The Edison Current was an important source of in¬ formation for the student body during the year. CIRCULATION AND BUSINESS: First Row: Susanne Smith, Curt Quap, Pat Connolley.

The Erudite, Edison ' s literary magazine, was dis¬ tributed to almost 1300 students in January and May of this year as part of the 1964-65 Publications Pack¬ age deal. The word erudite generally pertains to intellectuals, but it is also synonymous with the word scholar. The Erudite contained examples of student crearivity and literary talents in the fields of poetry, essays, and the short story. The magazine also exemplified the talents of amateur artists and photographers. The Erudite staff was divided into five individual groups: material, layout, art, typing, and business and circulation. The material staff collected, reviewed, dis¬ cussed, and evaluated all contributions to The Erudite, and was responsible for the material that was published. The layout staff worked in cooperation with the art staff in arranging both the material and corresponding art work in an artistic and interesting pattern. Typing and proofreading the material were the major respon¬ sibilities of the typing staff. In addition, they edited all materials to insure that no mistakes existed in the final draft. The business and circulation staff planned the method of circulation which made certain that the magazine was delivered to the proper subscribers. Finally, the business staff had the responsibility of both keeping The Erudite ' s records in smooth, correct order and of soliciting patrons. Ruth Ann Foster and Toni Turner contributed the knowledge they gained as representatives to the South¬ ern Interscholastic Press Association Convention in May, 1 964 held in Lexington, Virginia. At this convention The Erudite received honorable mention. The outstanding quality of potential ability among the students contributing to the Erudite is reflected in their intentions to produce remarkable literary ma¬ terial. Through their writing, they convey their thoughts, feeling and personal justications. The enthusiasm and zeal which prevails among the staff and contributors gives the rest of the students of Edison great inspiration to strive for an alert and active mind. 162 Lynne Rosenwasser, Layout Editor; Ruth Ann Fos¬ ter, Art and Assistant Editor; Joyce Marshall, Material Editor; Toni Turner, Editor-in-Chief; Bob Backstrom, Business Editor; Gloria Batten, Typing Editor. 163 Spring Banquet Culminates Year for Latin Club A time to lead : President Shelley Nopper at Latin Club meeting.

Sponsoring parties, bake sales, and various other activities, the members highlighted their year with a festive banguet in the spring. Many activities traditional in Germany marked a year of accomplish¬ ments for the German Club of Edison. Having officers, a cabinet, and many special committees, the club was able to schedule regular activities, all of which met with great success. An Oktoberfest, or Fall Festival, was held in early autumn. At Christ¬ mastime members of the club went caroling, entertaining many families with the famous old carols of Germany, in January the German Club spon¬ sored an ice skating party for the members. Annual events included the Faschingsball in February and the Spring Picnic, at which various Ger¬ man food specialities were served. A time to pin the tail on the pinata?

The Annual Fall Concert brought vari¬ ous new numbers, among them The Heavens are Telling. At Christmas the concert audience received a pleasant surprise when the chorus members en¬ tered chanting Benjamin Britain ' s pro¬ cessional Hodie. This concert ended with the singing of the Hallelujah Cho¬ rus, which has become a tradition at Edison. Upon returning for the second semes¬ ter the choirs entered into four choruses and four airs of Handel ' s Messiah in preparation for the Easter concert and a performance by the Chorale .at Fran¬ conia Baptist Church. The Spring Con¬ cert brought a lighter air, and participa¬ tion in the Fine Arts Festival ended a full season.

Band Aids in Production of Oklahoma! The Edison Band ushered in the school year with their Tag Day drive raising $1800,00 to eliminate their uniform debt. During the year, the various band groups served the school in countless events, such as concerts, assemblies, spirited half-time shows, and parades. One of the latter was the Franconia Labor Day Parade in which they cap¬ tured the $100.00 first prize. They also performed at Mark Twain Inter¬ mediate, in the Fine Arts Festival, the Williamsburg Band Muster, the Ft. Belvoir Fire Prevention Parade, and the Springfield Safety Patrol Parade. Aiding the drama department, the band also played for the Masquers production of You Can ' t Take it With You and Oklahoma! , and provided the stage band for the tal¬ ent show. In March the band hosted the Northern Virginia Band Festival and climaxed a very successful year by performing at the New York State Pavilion at the World ' s Fair.

Color and Interest Added to Sports Events by Active Baton Corps On behalf of the band and drill team, Band Director George Duman presents Head Ma¬ jorette Gail Jaynes with roses at the last home .game of the season. Through long hours of exacting practice, Edison ' s Majorettes twirled their way to a successful and exciting year highlighted by many trips to various contests. In company with the Band, the Corps marched in the Turkey Bowl Parade in Rockville, Maryland, where Head Majorette Gail Jaynes and Linda Sturgill received awards. Climaxing the year, the Major¬ ettes and the Band performed at the William and Mary vs. Furman Uni¬ versity Football game in Williamsburg, Virginia. There, in the Annual Kiwanis Club Parade, they captured the third place trophy. Sporting navy and white uniforms, the girls added color and life to all of the home football games. Their repertoire included many routines performed to such popular tunes as Java, Hello Dolly, and Baby Elephant Walk. The corps had original uniforms for out-of-school per¬ formances which resembled Indian costumes. Special routines were taught to them by Mrs. Phyllis Horseley. For other performances, they used a stiff military marching style, one very different from their normal basic gait. The purpose of the Majorettes is to represent and support the school spirit of Edison High. Fourteen of the girls will graduate this year, eight of whom are veterans of two and three years. The Majorettes have brought many awards and much enjoyment to the student body of Edison. 176 Edison ' s Band, Majorettes, and Drill Team perform during half time at the Woodson Game.

Football Team Displays Awaited Talents VICTORY IN OPENER The Eagles ' eleven opened their season at home under their newly acquired lights with a 7-0 victory over the Fort Hunt Federals. A staunch defense made the vic¬ tory possible. This was the Eagles ' first victory in its third year of existence. The only score of the game came on a three yard plunge off right tackle by quar¬ terback Eric Spink. John Ed¬ monds ' conversion made it 7-0 at the half, and that was how it ended as the defense held in the second half. The Edison defense played an outstanding game and managed KEEP PERFECT SEASON The Eagles retained their per¬ fect season by managing to sus¬ tain the late Marshall drive to only six points. to contain the Statesmen to a very short offensive attack in the first half. When the two teams retired at half-time the game was at a scoreless deadlock. However, the Eagles broke the ice late in the third period and after an unsuc¬ cessful attempt at the extra point held the lead. The score came on a fifteen yard return of a blocked punt by sophomore fullback Lar¬ ry Hamm. With about three minutes left on the dock Marshall pushed through the defense and man¬ aged to salvage a tie in the hard fought contest.

' s WERE NEEDED The Eagles ' failure to convert the extra point on two occasions proved to be costly in the 14-12 loss suffered at the hands of the Woodson Cavaliers. The Eagles seemed to be on their way to an easy victory as the score was 12-7 at the end of the third quarter. However, the Woodson quarterback brought the crowd to its feet as he set off on a dazzling 87 yard run after he faked a punt. The conversion made it 14-12 and that was how it ended. The Eagles, now I-I-1, were looking for a victory in their contest in ' order to keep their season mark over .500. Spink again drives against Marshall. Mike Carter pulls down the Woodson quarterback. 13 ! DUMPED BY LANCERS , For their fourth contest the Eagles traveled to Lee to take on the powerful Lancers. Both of the teams exhibited very strong defenses throughout the entire game and at the end of the half the game was at a scoreless deadloc k. However, the second half proved to be fatal for the Eagles. The Lancers ' of¬ fensive attack put a quick six points on the scoreboard. A successful kick made it seven to nothing at the end of the third period. The fourth period was very much like the previous one. The Lee eleven smothered the Eagles with passes and a great running game. Now below the .500 mark, the Eagles sought their revenge in the next contest against Mt. Vernon. VICTORY AT HOME The Eagles stymied the Mt. Vernon Majors on their home field. It was the Eagles ' second victory in four attempts, with one tie, and they completely domi¬ nated the game. Willie Moore, senior halfback, in his first year at Edison, played his best game of the season. He made several dazzling runs and gained over one hundred yards as the Eagles romped the Majors 14-0. PHEW says Bob McLaughlin as he brings down the Woodson quarterback. 82 Eagles loosen up a bit before the game against Lee. WARRIORS WIN 28-14 Wakefield Warriors were very impressive from the opening kickoff to the final gun. Again the Eagles could not find success in converting the extra points, but their was of little significance as the final score was 28-14. It was completely Wakefield ' s game from the beginning to the end. The other two points scored by Edison came on an early safety. VICTORIOUS HOMECOMING Groveton ' s Tigers came to Edison to try to put down the Eagles in their Homecoming game, but the Eagles sent in a powerful team that was ready for action. Willie Moore again proved to be the big punch in the Eagles ' attack. He scored two touch¬ downs of 46 and 35 yards. Bob McLaughlin also made several penetrating runs into the Tiger line. The defense was outstanding and held Groveton to a mere 7 points. I 8-7 was the final score, as Edison was triumphant in its first Homecoming game. EAGLES SHOCK G.W. The Eagles astounded everyone in the county by turning in a fabulous victory over the George Wash¬ ington Presidents. A strong Eagle offense brought a final score of 20-13. The defense also sparkled as G.W. guarterback Skeet Swift was held to a very small offensive game. This now meant that a victory in either of the last two games would insure the Eagles of a winning season. Jerry Green gets ready to pounce upon the Mt. Vernon halfback.

FAVORED EAGLES TOPPLED The Eagles ' hopes for a winning season were momentarily shattered by York- town. The Eagles were heavy favorites for winning their fifth game, but could not top the Patriots. After four quarters of scuffling, the scene was an empty stadium with only a lighted scoreboard showing that the mighty Eagles had been toppled 14-6. TROUNCE ADMIRALS Now 4-4-1, the Eagles were deter¬ mined to finish with a winning season. An early safety and touchdown put the Eagles on top early in the game and from then on It was just a question of how large the victory would be. As the final gun sounded the Eagles sustained their first winning season ever. With a score of 26-14. Bob McLaughlin was the big star in the game. 184 ' - Ofr IK First Row: R. Leffingwell, D.

JV WILL BE READY Although the J.V. did not do better than a 2-6 record this year, they will be ready to take over the varsity job next year. The juniors who played varsity ball this year, along with the J.V. from this year, should be able to combine efforts to provide Edi¬ son with another good year of football. The areas in which next year ' s team will have to concen¬ trate are the defensive backs and the linebackers. It is believed that these two areas will be sufficient¬ ly strengthened for next season.

CLOSE OUT AT 2-8 The Freshman team dosed out a slow season this year with only two victories. Both were over Mt. Vernon. The team had one punch though that is expected to lead the varsity to vic¬ tory in three years. He is Gary Ches¬ ley, a quarterback. He has both back- field and end talents. Coached by Mr. Fox, with Mr. Damico as assistant, the team gained much experience and should be ready to move up to the J.V. spot next year. The future of football at Edison seems to have good potential for the future. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL Groveton 12 EHS 0 Mt. Vernon 7 EHS 33 Mt. Vernon 6 EHS 7 Hammond 14 EHS 6 Geo.

BIG THINGS SOUGHT IN EAGLE TEAM The Edison basketball team was looked upon early in the season as one of the basketball powers in Northern Virginia. In their opener against Lee, the Eagles put their superior height to good use and rolled over the Lancers by a score of 59-37. In this contest, the Eagles were able to give all their players experience as the bench was un¬ loaded. The big three grabbed 34 rebounds among them and Paire and Toomay scored 17 each. Lowe puts in two of his sixteen points against Fort Hunt. BOB LOWE Sophomore I 1.7 Forward 19! Hey, where s that ball going? The basket ' s up here! ROOKIES STAR Two of the newcomers to the team displayed their talents as they collected 16 points each. The two were Bob Lowe and Dennis Woolfrey. Both were J.V. members last year. Edison rolled over Fort Hunt by a wide margin of 65-45. Paire and Toomay had 15 and 12 respectively. OVERCOME HALFTIME DEFICIT Edison got off to a slow start against Mt. Vernon and trailed the Majors 20-18 at inter¬ mission. However the Eagles were quick to strike back and overtook the Majors 52-37 as they outscored the Mt. Vernon team 34-17 in the latter half. EAGLES FAILED TO GET THE BREAKS The ball seemed to go the wrong all night as Edison dropped its first game of the season 48-37 to Geo. Washington. The Eagles were far behind in the final period, but a late rally started by Paul McCarus closed the gap at nine points. EDISON ROLLS PAST YORKTOWN The Eagles were up for this contest after their last game and they used sheer power to down the Patriots 70-45. The win now set Edison ' s rec¬ ord at 4-1. Pat Toomay led all scorers with 18 points. WINNING SEASON IS EXTENDED Edison continued its tactics in their next game with the Fairfax Rebels. After overcoming a 19- 13 first period deficit, Edison never lost the lead as they won easily 69-56. Paire had 23 points. Toomay and Lowe added 20 and 18 points respectively. ALAN PAIRE Senior 16.1 Center Al Paire ' s quick hands tip this shot back up. PAT TOOMAY Junior 16.0 Forward 192 Now you see boys, we ' ve got to win this game to stay at the top of the league. So let ' s go!!! PERFECT AWAY RECORD Edison boasted a perfect record on the road and had an oppor¬ tunity to maintain this against McLean. The game started out as an exchange of points which resulted in a 14-14 tie at the end of the first period. However, the Eagles broke away in the next 24 minutes and won easily 72-57. Paire and Toomay again shared honors with 19 points each. VICTORY BALL STAYS AT HOME Edison captured the victory trophy from Lee for the second year in succession. This time the margin was a little larger than that of the first year. Edison won this year 58-53 in a close contest. The Coach assured us that the trophy would continue to remain at Edison. EAGLES PLAGUED Edison, ' plagued with both misfortune and injuries, fell hard at the hands of Woodson and Gabe Oliverio by a wide margin of 78-57. The Eagles could neither find the range, nor control the ball. We were now 7-2. START AT DEFICIT The Eagles started the game with Hammond at a deficit inas¬ much as Alan Paire was sidelined. Hammond was highly favored. The first quarter, however, went entirely in favor of the Eagles as they led 20-9. A lead of 32-17 at the half enabled Edison to finish Oh no you don ' t! exclaims Dennis Woolfrey. 193 Lowe fakes out Mills of G. W. as he made this jumper good. McCarus gapes in awe as he cuts the ball loose. Senior 6.4 Guard AL MOLL PAUL McCARUS Junior 5.9 guard 194 Toomay lays in an easy two against York+own, the contest with an easy 54-42 upset of the Ad¬ mirals. Bob Lowe led all scorers with a fabulous effort and 2 I points. EAGLES UNLOAD BENCH ■ ; 1 ■ 1 . B I 1 J | |1 ■ ' jl Edison sent in all of its players to gain experience at the hands of the Annandale Atoms. After the first stringers scored 59 points in the first half, Coach Hensley sent in the bench to finish the easy task. The final score was 88-71 in our favor. WARRIORS WERE TOO TOUGH Edison moved to Wakefield to take on the mighty Warriors, and they had no mercy on us. We only trailed by four at the half but then they went to work. They outscored us 35-23 in the latter half and went on to win 52-36. Paire and Lowe both assist this bail ' s flight as it found the mark. Eagles Fourth in League Junior DENNIS WOOLFREY 5.6 Guard 196 TWO RECORDS SET Two Edison High records were set in the contest with Madison. First, we scored 93 points to down the Warhawks 93-69; and second, Pat Toomay scored on 18 field goals and 9 free throws for 45 points and a new school high. ALAN PAIRE STARS Al Paire came back to the lineup for the first time in three games and he did so very impressively. He scored 28 points and hauled down numerous rebounds. Toomay and Moll added 18 and 12 points re¬ spectively as Edison won 75-59 over Falls Church. We were now I 1-3 and took on Washington-Lee in their next game.

The game was the best played in the league this year. The Eagles came from one point behind at the end of regulation time and tied the Generals at 37-37. A jump shot by John Hummer gave them a lead of 39-37 and then the best shot of the year came with two seconds on the clock from Paul Mc¬ Carus. It was a two handed shove which banged off the backboard and swished through the net. However, W-L stalled after two quick baskets and beat us 43-41. It was a heart breaker. EASY VICTORY IN MAKE-UP GAME Edison made an impressive victory out of a make-up game with Marshall. We won easily 80-50 as Bob Lowe scored 21 points. Toomay added 17. PAIRE SHINES AGAIN Paire ' s 25 points led the Eagles attack against the Grove- ton Tigers in a game which would break a tie in the league for third place. The final score was 68-64 as the Eagles were now in sole possession of third place. K. Ostrye can ' t hold up his end of the deal as S. Alman falls his way. P. Palfray is also involved in the antics.

The jayvee basketball team this year was the same team from last year, but they did manage to have a pretty successful season. The team was highlighted by Mike Wells who was a six foot sophomore. Wells was the high scorer in ten of the Edison games. His re¬ bounding was also a great asset to the team. Center Greg Edmonds was also one of the big men on the team. He was greatly needed for his aptitude as a re¬ bounder. Two guards on the team were also beneficial to the Eagle cause. These two were Bob Robinson and Bill Arthur. On several occasions a shot from the out¬ side was needed and these two-boys came through with the big bucket. Arthur started off to a fine season as he totaled 63 points in the first four games. This J.V. team should be able to put out a good varsity team in the future for Edison. Our freshman team this year did not fare as well as they should have. They were only able to win two games of the eleven they played. The key factor which caused this poor season was the lack of height. If Edi¬ son can take this years short men, who can shoot, and combine them with a bit of height from the J.V. team, we should be able to maintain a winning team at Edison for many years to come. Under the leadership of Coach Bob Fox, the team showed great spirit. Coaches at Edison have to rate at the hea d of all those in the County. We are certainly very grateful to all the coaches for their aid in promoting a terrific ath¬ letic program here at Edison. First Row: C. Boole; D. Mrstik; A. Thacker; G. Damrow; P. Prewitt; M.

Spring sports at Edison are very popular with all the students who en¬ joy the warm weather for a change. Track is a sport which requires much grace and agility. All the participants in this sport are expected to put in many hours of practice as well as maintain a steady diet of nearly noth¬ ing. Baseball requires that all the mem¬ bers of the team be able to pick out the good pitches as well as have quick hands with which to scoop up the sizzling grounders. All players must start training early in order that they be able to put forth all required efforts. Golf is played with a calculating eye. The amount of effort required is immense. Each player is expected to be able to show keen judgement in all situations. Golf is strictly the gentleman ' s game . Al Moll (left) and Mike Carter (right) show their batting stance in practice.

Although neither the Varsity nor the Junior Varsity teams had a winning season, the girls gained a great deal of experience. Both teams ended the season with a final record of 1-6-1. The best game of the year was played with Falls Church High School, where both the Varsity and Junior Var¬ sity tied their opponents 0-0. Both teams also attended a Hockey Play-Day at Herndon at the close of the season.

Linda Andrews achieved the highest individual scoring of the year by putting in sixteen points for Edi¬ son. In spite of the team ' s valiant ef¬ forts, the Varsity sguad could only boast one win out of twelve starts this season. Edison ' s Junior Varsity team had a more successful season than Varsity, with four wins and eight losses during the year. Highest scorer for J.V. was Donna Funk, who scored a total of sixty-eight points for Edison during the three month season.

Practice starts at the beginning of the summer and doesn ' t end until the last basketball game of the season, usually in February. Frigid winter nights and warm summer practices did not affect the boundless spirit of the ten Varsity girls. Aside from the games, the cheerleaders boosted school spirit in several pep rallies during the year. The girls also attended It ' s Academic , where they upped morale with pre-competition cheers. In May, tryouts were held to choose the new cheerleaders for the following football and bas¬ ketball seasons. The girls were judged on skill, grace, appearance, and personality. The chosen girls practiced through the summer to prepare for the first game of the fall.

Ofay people, lets take it from the top directs Mrs. Greenlee as lim Braaten shouts in protest. As 1964-1965 drew to a close, the year ' s events culmi¬ nated with the school ' s annual musical. This year, Edison ' s Drama and Music Department combined their talents to produce a superb presentation of Rogers ' and Hammer- stein ' s festive Oklahoma! Although the performance itself consisted of two hours of laughter, music, and dancing, few people realized that the production was the result of more than four months ' hard work. Selection of leads and chorus parts came be¬ fore Christmas holidays. In February, auditions for dancers were held. The next three months were filled with endless rehearsal, production of over one-hundred costumes, pro¬ duction of the set, and box office preparations. Mrs. Greenlee, Director of Drama, also choreographed the Oklahoma! dancing scenes. Mr. Catlett, Director of Vocal Music, spent endless hours training and coordinating thirty voices for the production ' s sixteen vocal numbers. Mr. Duman directed select members of Edison ' s band for the prelude and orchestral accompaniment. With the guidance of these three outstanding directors, the innumerable hours of work of almost two hundred stu¬ dents repaid them well. The production was tremendously successful, and ran for three nights before sell-out crowds. The quality and vitality of Edison ' s production of Okla¬ homa! made it the climax of the school year.

Time is an intangible, yet a reality; it lingers or flies, unaware of our desires or needs. We, the senior staff members, bid farewell to the moments past and seek those moments yet unrealized. Our hours in these classrooms are ended, yet we carry with us memories time can never erase; leaving the future hours to you, the student body of Edison. It was our purpose in this book to present a sampling of the memories of the year 1965, the cherished mo¬ ments, thus to stop and recall a short period of time for each to remember. 256
